Does ol' Skar have a half-elf son that happens to be a Wizard?

Tung thinks on the really obvious question.
Tung will retire to another mission then. I've been itching to build a caster in 2e. I'll have something by tomorrow at the latest.
fwiw, I'm also down to respec a new character that is a full arcane caster. I do feel Tung and Tilver fulfill a lot of the same roles.
Tung gives a long stare down the hall forward, imagining the golden light of his blade slashing its way through some unknown horror. After snapping out of the daydream, he recalls his pledge to defend Ptolus and knows the Inverted Pyramid should not be ignored in a plea for help. "If the way is barred we must address this immediate concern. And if there is time, I must make my report." Tung states to the group.
Tung gives a curt nod to Silas before joining him.
"Good idea. We should check these vaults doors too to ensure they're sealed." Tung replies. He'll check over the doors in this place to make sure they're sealed.
Tung will break out his kit to treat Silas.
Tung wipes some debris from his face and moves over to inspect the doors in this hallway.
Tung attempts to slice up the gusty humanoid as he ponders its origin.
Tung readies his blade and follows his companions toward the new room. A smirk appears on his face as the door opens.
"Well, unless we want to open that Vault door on this level, I'm out of ideas." Tung says with a final scuff of his boot through a straw bed. He makes his way to the entrance of the room and stands with his arms crossed, waiting for the others. He takes a moment to wipe some dried blood from where the ape slammed a fist into his jaw.
After picking up his dropped blade, Tung moves in the room, stopping to nudge one of the unmoving beast with a booted foot. "I must say, I was never expecting to fight an ape down here so it definitely worked as a surprise. Luckily we gained the upper hand." He comments as he walks through the room. Tung uses his boot to scatter the straw beds in search of something interesting.
Tung ducks behind Silas and draws his bow out as his blade falls to the ground. He looses an arrow at the remaining ape.
Tung continues dodging and weaving the fists while trying to hide among them to throw the creatures off guard.
Tung rushes forward and tries to catch the ape off guard.
Tung takes a note from Tilver and uses the door frame to his advantage, ducking in and out, stabbing at an opportune moment.
As the beast bites down into Tung's shoulder, he thrust his blade up in response.
"You'll die by my blade beast!" He calls out as his blade seeks purchase.
Tung envisions himself shoving open the door while he sets about unlocking it first....
Tung shoves the door open to gain the element of surprise on whatever lay inside.
Tung prepares for a fight.
"Good find, Silas. Please, allow me." Tung says as he slides past the crew and up to the door.
Tung aids the crew in searching the room.
"Good thinking Dain." Tung says as he leads the way up north, cautiously looking for traps and hazards.
"This is unexpected." Tung balks at an explanation before continuing. "There's a room full of... water." He turns to the others. "What do you think those pits are for?"
Tung looks for any sign of trouble as he flanks off toward the western door. He ponders the statue a moment but lets his companions inspect it closely. As he approaches, his attention turns to the door itself.
Tung follows closely behind Tilver.
<3 you peoples.
Hey folks. I'm back but may be intermittent in the coming weeks. TLDR; my dad had a massive heart attack and is in the hospital, so please send positive thoughts and prayers. Ritual sacrifice to the Elders gods are acceptable too. (dark humor is a coping mechanism...) Anyway, I should be able to get back on a schedule but things could change immediately. Will keep GM posted at least if anything turns south. Happy New Year! And thanks for pardoning my absence.
Tung waits patiently watching his companions work as he ponders if the magical rope in his backpack would have worked for this. He readies for combat as Tilver announces his intent.
My family arrived today, if I don't post until after the weekend it's because my wife's scowl of disapproval has prevented me from opening my laptop while family is here. Haha!
Tung shifts his dagger into a rapier with a quick prayer. He then focuses his attention on the ceiling, ready for an attack. "I'd say loose an arrow up there unless one of our mages has a better idea." Tung says to his old salty friend. "Just be careful it doesn't ricochet back on one of us..."
Tung studies the ceiling for any oddities as the group catches up. If nothing is out of sort, he'll move to investigate the next door.
Tung nods and leads Tilver to the east. He draws his blade as he walks on the balls of his feet.
"That's good. Perhaps this can be a place of respite for us. But there's no rest for the wicked, we should go back to those other doors like Silas said." Tung says after finishing a gulp from his waterskin.
"Trapped forever? I guess forever just recently ended." Tung says wryly before checking the east running hallway to the north.
Tung inspects the statue and script on the wall closer, even though he cannot read them. "I cannot read this script over here but it seems there's no immediate danger." he comments.
Tung advances slowly forward to see what in the far enclave to the east.
"This statue is Voastra, a close pegasus companion to Danar Rotansin." Tung comments. "This must be a shrine, given the depcitions." He turns back to the group.
Tung stifles a sneeze from all the dust before beginning to ascend.
Upon recognizing the spear hurling traps, Tung moves forward.
Tung gives an annoyed huff as he climbs up the remaining stairs.
"What binds you here now? How do we know you won't flee this place and commit evil elsewhere?" Tung asks intensely.
Tung stows his bow and retrieves his blade from the ground before walking up onto the platform. He looks around for their antagonizers and says.
He approaches the door on the platform.
Tung looses an arrow at the glittering wisp.
He then scours the room for the other invisible creature.
True. But given that casters were somewhat nerfed in this edition (as a martial heavy player, I'm not too upset...), it seems on brand. However, I'd love to see a trait for spells that could be readied or something. Time to browse the boards for some reasoning behind the design decision!
@Silas, for what it's worth, I home rule spending three actions to cast a two action spell. Haven't had it break anything yet but I'm sure higher levels I'll encounter something that will be broken with it. It's one of the changes that I haven't quite grasped from a game design standpoint as to why you can't do it. I imagine I'll need to put a level cap on readied spells for higher level play not that I think on it a bit.
Tung focuses on the area above the platform and calls out to his companions. "Flying. Above the platform!" he shouts to the others.
