As he draws closer Trenton breathes in deeply leveling his sword at the closest snarling lizard he calls to the water around him and then (if Terry has not already knocked the closest down this would go to next one) unleahses a torrent of water at the lizard man. Water gun at 10ft
Trent makes his way through the muck his sword held at the ready as he had been taught glancing about until he saw the lizards approch. "Just remember to not hurt them tood badly guys." He winks at his companions before returning his gaze towards the 'enemies' readying his first combat spell.
Trent grins at his companions stretching slightly with his sword trying to get used to the weight of the odd looking armor. "If anyone back home could see us now they would they we were going to some sort of comic con." As they near the battlefield Trenton frowns concentrating inwardly to ready his magic feeling the power stirring in the marsh as he draws closer.
Trenton frowns at the selection of armor, Not what you read in the books at all but then we are in a swamp He nods and begins to strap on the bone armor it being the best fit as he regrets the fine suits of chain mail and shining armor you always hear about in stories.
"Well at least I will have lots of water to work with." He says jokingly.
Trenton looks around at his companions before approaching the leaders once more now that he and the others seems sufficiently ready. "I think we are ready to go as well." He smiles slightly easing his sword in its sheath.
Trent listens to the leaders speak for a while and nods trying to remember everything and taking in such new tactics. He then shrusg and decides the others know best before smiling shyly at Arastil and making his way outside drawing his sword to practice the sword forms she had taught. It seemed so long ago, what has it been? Maybe a couple of weeks? Now here I am practicing with a sword, what would my brother say? What would Dad? Going into a practice battle readying for a a true battle versus what was it gnolls? He thinks to himself going through the motions that seemed as much a part of him as his own arm.
Personally I think everything will be simpler once we get to the melve city so we can be trained and get a spell list right now we only have two spells frankly that's probably better then everyone trying to get their special classes spell list all at once spells all at the same time so we have a spell list for our little fight too much too soon. The mechanics of combat? I think they are all fine for us wont know till we try. What did you have in mind for initiatives I forget what your policy is Also we shouldn't get any new spells cause of our class, the class gives us the "options"to expand our spells into that area. poof we have all the spells the class has just doesn't seem to flow with our game just my two cents off the top of my head
Trenton nods to the other sorcerers and goes to shrug on his armor taking up the sword that had been given to him from what it seemed so long ago. After he makes ready he goes to Arastil. "Afterwards I need to talk to you about what you can know about this mountain the shaman told us of. But for now let us focus on the practice battle ahead. If you would allow me I would accompany your troop if I won't disrupt your line too much." ......Break for Rp among Sorcs........ Before the battle Trent talks to battle leaders as well as his fellow students. " I know we haven't had much time to practice fighting as a whole. And thankfully we are able to in practice before we meet real foes. I won't waste our time on any more pretty speeches, or questioning our tactics. I would just ask that we watch each others flanks and....Lets show these lizards how we can fight!
So this might just be because I had a bad day but this has been bothering me for a little bit and just figured I should talk about it on here to get it out of the way. Spoiler: in no way am I trying to diss anyone or start an argument just felt I should ask and talk about this in discussion While I really enjoy reading everyone's parts in the roleplay especially when we get so flavorful and imaginative I just cant help but notice when ashley takes control of the npcs and how they interact Ashely I think your character is well thought out and seems very real but I would ask that you roleplay yourself as the rest of us do and leave the npcs to shano as this is his story
Umm I sure hope it does Terry kinda whole reason I took Magus was to be able to fight in armor and spellcast ;) Neways I dont have any mechanics questions as I am sure we can all learn as we go :) this is the only game I really care about anymore (that says alot) neways only thing I need is what Arastil wouldve said in Trent's day one but thats rp hehe
Hey terry we already have dodge
hmm so i get one more?
Shano: 1.Kinda confused on the wording are we saying only day I will succeed on is day six? So im having to decide between Ice sword, Icy Grasp, your spell, and Ice shards? Cause now we are not able to train on day 7 cause of ashleys mock battle? If so umm let me think.... I think I will go with your creative spell taking a stab in the dark. 2. I have in mind Trent is going to more Offensive in mind with his spells while water can be fluid and calm it can be turned into a force that grinds the face of the earth down (glaciers) so waiting with baited breath lol
Sweet thanks reg I only got 2 so wasn't sure if I was doing my math right lol
Trent will spend part of each day attending the meetings with the leaders trying to remember everything his father said to him about strategy as well as every game he had played pertaining to the coordination of armies. Though he had done a lot of speaking earlier on with his speech Trent goes back to his quiet self speaking only when asked his opinion. A good leader must earn his position, listen and pay attention to others who are experienced His father had told him before he had given up on Trenton ever being a leader of men. If only dad could see me now, ready to go out with forces never even considered in our world. He thinks to himself ruefully at one of the sessions. Day One:
Trenton finds Arastil up in the tree top lodge and smiles watching her practice for a while before catching her eye and drawing his own sword and bows to her. "Care to have another training bout with me?" He chuckles and brings his sword to attention. Feat Learned Combat Expertise After the training session Trent pulls off his leather armor, the donning of the thing almost becoming second nature to him, followed by his sweat soaked shirt. He calls to his power and begins to pour water down over him using cupping his hands. Afterwards Trent sits down and listens to Arastil talk a bit about her complaints nodding at appropriate times before turning to her his face serious. "What do you know of a mountain that will stand between us and our destination. The shaman said something about a mountain that we would have to choose a path, to go around adding many days, to go over and meet the frost giants, ...or to go under where a danger waits for us. Do you have any knowledge of this place?" Day Two:
After the strategy session Trenton heads back to Arastil's tree lodge before finding a quiet place to concentrate and begins to use the Elemental manipulation spell concentrating on using it. Creativity check Fort Save
Day Three:
Int Checkjust in case Retry from day 2 Fort Save Day Four:
Fort Save Int Check Ice Version of Shocking Grasp

Trenton now begins to train with his sword and magic at the same time flowing through the stances Arastil teaches him making the magic flow through him to his sword it becoming an extension of himself. Fort Save Int Check Assuming i Pass with those rolls? pweese ? haha Ice sword

For every three levels after 1st gains another shard of ice , 2 at level 4, maximum 5 at level 13, that Trenton can aim at same target or multiple targets no more than 15 ft apart.

Shano Im assuming we only get 3 feats correct?
Trenton blushes and takes the compliment from Terry bashfully, "Same here. I just hope this works." He finds Arastil in the crowd and smiles thanking her for her support. "I hope you are feeling better. Soon we will be out of these swamps. But I to speak to later in private, something the shaman said." Trenton smiles again and finally escapes outside.
Once the leaders have shown up: Trenton looks out nervously meeting the eyes of each leader of the assorted races in-front of him. He takes a deep breath closing his eyes gathering his racing thoughts. "Over the last few days we have treaded through swamps, besieged by swarms of bugs and sickness. All of this on the words of our guides to speak to their shaman. You must have all wondered why we were told to come. Moments ago we were told something that concerns not only us but all of this world. You have all come for many different reason. Some for friendship (looks to Arastil), some for revenge (looks to the Relves), so from mere boredom at not having someone to kill(smiles looking towards Dunnely). You are all from different cultures and races and we do not agree. But we are united by the hope that we four, were foretold to come and liberate this land with your help. What we were told by the shaman of these people(he pauses taking another breath) that there is no prophecy, there was no legend foretelling of us and there is no guaranteed triumph over our enemy. When we were told this we did not know how you would react. But I did not feel it was right to hide something that we very well will be betting our lives on. We come from a world that has seen many wars. Hundreds of thousands have died as our race learned to make better and more effective weapons. Our country was made by the power of farmers and merchants banding together to throw down a tyrant king that dared to rule us from across the ocean. Our forefathers threw off his power and banded together to face the strongest army in the world. They won because they came together and over came their differences much like how we have to now. I tell you that king is Xivsar,and if mere farmers can win why not us? With an alliance of Elves, Dwarves, Lizardfolk and all the free people of Kellmanor, we can win but we must hold. I would understand if some of you wished to leave. Perhaps this is not the fight you were led to believe. For that I will not begrudge you for I have no right to. What can we mere kids do against the power Xivasar? However, you have a choice now, to go home and wait for Xivasar to come into your homes and steal your families. Or to stay the course, fight with us. We four do have power given to us by the Elementals themselves. Yalm believed in us even though he was forced to lie to all of us to gain our allegiance. We have power, power enough perhaps to win Kellmanor free. But we can not do it alone. " Trenton looks around once more over the assembly and swallows. "I wish to see this world free as the one I came from. I wish to see not a world gripped in war but one in peace. And I shall be damned if I let Xivasar steal that vision away. In a week we will be leaving this place to march to the lands of the Melves. The shaman has promised us a force to breakout through a gathered army of of Gnolls. I will let all of you talk amongst yourselves to decide what you deem best for your people. Thank you." Trenton finishes and then bows to everyone and makes his way towards the door but not without trying to catch the eye of Arastil beforehand trying to gauge her reaction.
going to write up speech so terry goings to go tell leorn?
WOOPS didnt see it lol
Terry: "Sorry Terry I never got to see that one, father had us move around a lot. But, don't give up on Yalm, I like to think of "The Two Towers" when Gandalf just shows up after being killed by the Balrog." Trenton smiles and claps Terry on the shoulder afterwords and moves to get up.
Hey Terry make sure you reply to Trents question IC think Shano was waiting for that as well as Trent lol
Ash this is what I meant by how its been a few hours since you went into your trance
sorry thought Id mention it as I was reading the last page and saw it see im not crazy i swear :)
Waiting on terry to respond to trent lol oh hey regi where are you at the time?
Cool so dumb question should I refresh myself on the speech trent was going to give? Pretty much I planned on having him tell the assembled people that there was no prophecy. But he would be asking them to help them anyways because they have made it further than anyone thought they could and with their help all we could do is grow stronger and blah blah blah :) SOOOOO who else is really excited to get this game back on lol tell you what after so many of my games fell through during finals all I could do was look forward to this game :)
by posting next leg do you mean skipping ahead or picking up right where we left off? Just curious
Yep he doesnt he just knows ashley isnt down stairs
Im going to go read the gameply again hehe that way I can remember the epic speech trent was going to give after the leaders had gathered pity though that I remember Ashley is tied up to some tree the whole time with hours passing...
Why would you be risking it? Copyright law states anything written over the internet and submitted is protected by law
IM HERE IM HERE IM HERE!!! Literally chomping at the bit here lol, ive reread our posts so many times now lol its ridiculous, my brother asks why you havent made this into a book yet lol also been sitting on a speech that I have planned for trent for so long now now I go to go refresh myself on its fictional points lol
Nah just the semester though starting in spring I go to the large university and start working on my actual degree hopefully I can do everything right like last semester and land an internship over the summer
hey terry trent is kinda waiting on you to answer him lol sorry thought id say that incase the two of them needed to have a discussion
Dunnely:
"Could you send someone to go gather everyone? I need to tell everyone something important which may influence somethings, please before you ask, it is better if everyone is here so I can tell everyone at once. At least the leaders of each people." He says quickly before bowing to the dwarf and standing . Trenton notes everything about the various races before making his way over to Terry seeing he is talking with some of the Relves. Nodding to the assembled Relves Trenton leans in to whsiper to Terry. Terry:
"I plan on telling the truth to our assembled friends, at least the leaders of each party, if you wish to tell Leorn now in private I would do so just so he can let it sink in. But we have to tell the truth to everyone else or we risk losing their support later on. I have already asked Dunnely to have someone find Arastil and the Relf leader. I am sorry I didn't consult but I feel I have to do this now. Please let me do this." Trent looks solemly at Terry before moving to get up though he would wait to reply to anything Terry has to say first before going to stand at what loks like a good place to speak to everyone once they arrive.
Trenton looks about the others eating but deigns not to have any as he is not very hungry. Something about the drink the shaman had given him seemed to fill his stomach. Crouching down he asks Dunnely
Dunnely:
"Where have the others gone? I trust there were no more fights while we were away? There are some things we need to discuss with everyone." He looks around him and studies the dwarfs curious on their weaponry, did they all have firearms or did just Dunnely being their leader only have the privilege? Perception
Hey shano what was the process in designing new spells in your game I know Terry was trying earlier but I cant seem to find the exact page or something
Trenton's mind whirls with ideas as he makes his way down the street like limbs of the trees only half listening to what the others say. "Oh what Terry? That sounds fine...I'll be right along..." he mumbles in reply to Terry before going back to his thoughts ancient battles and books flipping in and out of his head... We have dwaves, delves, lizardfolk, Leorn, and the Relves...and us but we can't really count on ourselves when we are untested in battle in every way. Leorn and Dunnely are probably our best range with the other dwarves...what were they wielding?..guess I wasnt paying attention... if they are anything like other dwarves in the books they would make a very good shieldwall to form the line....Arastil and her people would make good quick in and out skirmishers I believe...Kershak and his people definitely could hold the line with the dwarfs being heavy troopers...Ashal, definitely shocktroops, hate to see them come screaming out of the woods first minute of the fight. And then there's us...how do we fit in? Would the others know anything about a fight like this? Damn I wish I could have some cavalry...Maybe the Relves are horsemen? Who knows..I need to talk to Arastil...and Kershak. God is this really happening? He asks himself finally as he touches the ground only aware of how his feet were not going down anymore. Trenton dismisses these thoughts and makes his way over to where the divere group of their friends have been making camp and wanders over to Arastil. "How has everyone been holding up? No more fights I hope?" He asks her quietly.
through thick and thin :)
Ash why do you have to post last its kinda wierd doing that just waiting so you can post last shouldnt you just post whenever you check in lol just struck me as odd
A Dark power? An Assest but the will to harness it? And a mountain and three choices? To go over or under definately not around....to gover and encounter giants....wouldn't that mean snow ice? Could I learn from them at all? Maybe Arastil would have a way to go below the mountain? I will have to ask her. But this battle....I could help with that....I know I can. Trenton listens to the shaman and the other's for a minute wondering on everyone's words before standing and bowing to the large shaman. "If there is to be a fight I want to prepare for it and help in anyway I can. My father taught tactics in a place called West Point. He told me a few things I want to help but first I need to talk to my teacher. I think the others will want to ask some other questions but....well some things we can't decide right now but I will prepare." He bows again his eyes scanning the others waiting for anything directed at him before making his way down to check on Leorn recuperating and then seeks out Arastil in need of counsel.
