boon: 1d20 ⇒ 1

Tusk spends some time sharpening his tools of war, happy that he was able to do what he does best. "Good to know," he says to Lady Darchana, "One can never have too many allies."

Tusk leaves the burning papers for one of the others and enters the brawl.

As there is no room for Tusk, he opens the door anyway and charges into the room, hoping to circle around to get behind her. Is the room on fire? Is there a path to her?

Tusk observes Kyra's devastating attack and leaves the hounds to her. Instead he moves quickly to the door and opens it, just in case the fire Xuan Wu is warning about is coming from there.

actions:
*move
*open door

Tusk takes a step and smacks the red trollhound first and the blue second to make sure they stay unconscious for a long time.

Kyra and Tusk, we're still in rounds--what do you want to do? Recall that the captain was described as a human woman, and you haven't seen anyone answering that description yet.

I think Kyra took her action.

fort save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

Tusk stands up and steps a little closer to the beleaguered (blue) troll hound, but decides not to let the one next to him get another free chance to hit him by moving to fast. So instead he attacks the one that attacked him (red).

to hit orc double axe: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10
slicing damage, adamantine: 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20

We should focus on a single hound if they are going to regenerate each turn.

Where is the ladder? Is it at the front of the ship or the back? I see Seebonickk's icon on both the deck and below deck by the stairs at the rear, and Xuan Wu on both the deck and below deck by the front (I assume because he did that double move). I had put Tusk at the top of the ladder in this post so I'm thinking that should be near the rear of the ship instead of where his icon is now (where he was when the combat ended). If I am correct...
Tusk rushes down the ladder and engages the first enemy (double move to get next to red).

Tusk waits at the top for the go ahead to head on down, since Tusk is not all that sneaky. Better than a common untrained human, even with armor, but not goog enough to sneak up on trained guards.

Tusk dashes over to the enemy that is not surrounded

I am camping and forgot my laptop. I may need bottling until Wednesday evening unless I can master porting by phone.

To change the shape of an icon, select the icon, then the Crop Image menu (it looks like a square with carats at two of the corners), then the Select Shapes submenu (probably, unless you want an odd shaped icon on a different submenu), then select the shape you want to covert it into.

To save time I usually convert the PC icons to circles and reuse them. That way you (the GM) do not have to go through the reshape process with every enemy icon.

"Dats a bit better. W'see if'n you c'n last."

Hey, the gnoll took a swing at Tusk. It missed, though.

I know. I actually did see that. But he just stood there after he missed Tusk, even while Tusk swung at him. Well, if I have any poetic license at least :) Did not notice the black border until I zoomed in though.

Tusk pounds on the (white) Gnoll standing there like an idiot.

"Ya shoulda duccked, dufas."

Tusk moves (avoiding the grated areas) into melee range of the white gnoll as soon as he knows his allies are on the ladder.

Take 10 climb for 18. If Kyra or Tusk wants to lead with a charisma skill or something creative, go for it. If not, let me know and I have something creative to try. No promises as to its effectiveness tho.

That's a laugh. No, no charisma skills from Tusk.

Tusk just heads up on board playing his role as guard.

Tusk looks at the rogue in confusion. "Why? Da dang thin' is anchored..." Wondering if he, himself, was the one confused he adds, "right?"

knowledge (local): 1d20 ⇒ 9

"Can I be one of the guards?"

"Me too. Resta yous c'n sneak up on dem gnolls, if'n you c'n get there 'fore we takem out."

"I c'n row. No questns."

Once again Tusk cracks his knuckles and looks excited.

"I don' unstand. How we take ship if we don' crack heads? 'Specialy as dem bein' pitates an' all."

Tusk adds a grunt.

Tusk agrees to put off the head cracking and talk to the Important Person, Lady D, which is all he can remember of her name. He's quite bad with remembering names. If does not help when the pompous flunky adds a half dozen titles to her name. The important think is that Tusk behaves. There's cracking heads trouble, and there's messing with Important Persons trouble, and the latter is NOT the kind of trouble he likes.

"I'd rather crack heads."

Tusk does not seem to care about what is prudent/mission supporting or not.

Yes, we should go see Lady Darchana first.

"Yea, go an' crack heads."

The statement is punctuated with some cracked knuckles and a toothy grin.

Now this kind of discussion Tusk can get into, but there it too little room around the squirming figure for him to get his ugly and threatening visage into the picture.

intimidate: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

"Make some room. I'll get him to talk!" he says confidently.

Tusk wants to choke the man for costing them 20 gold. The only thing holding him back is that it was not Tusk's money. He waits with narrowed eyes, though, to see if it was worth it. He doesn't speak, of course. That always seems to send negotiations sideways. Not that sideways is all that bad.

Tusk looks at NIghtkit with amazement with a stupefied expression.

Tusk is outraged and shouts, "FIFTY GOL'!? What da heck did he do that woulda make you wan' 50 friggin' gol'?"

He is honestly curious.

Tusk barges forward to step inside the door, putting himself in total defense mode (if allowed).

"Ah, question him, are ya? We have some of dem questions too. Mebe same ones? Mind if'n we watch?"

Tusk hops through the window

acrobatics: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22

with surprising agility.

Tusk moves to the window and peers though, moving the curtain out of the way.

Tusk is ready to leave the lawyer and head on over to the slaver. Unlike the others he is not particularly put off by his profession, though he will have just as much trouble showing respect due to his nature.

Tusk declines to comment, as is typically the case, instead retrieving a hunk of cheese and a gallon of ale and emptying it some of it down his throat.

Tusk frowns at Keynala's suggestion they visit the lawyer fellow. "Nah. Go straight to the source. This merch' fellow, pro'bly has the info we need."

"Milana," says Tusks simply and brusquely.

Tusk is confused by all the titles and meanings and is not sure which to pick, but just to get things moving he responds "Milana".

"A lawyer?" Tusk exclaims distastefully. "Dang, I hate this mission already."

I will keep Tusk's dialog clean, but his language is far more colorful than what I write.

Nodding at Nightkits observations, he adds his own two cents. "Silly stuff if ya ask me, not gon' lie.

Tusk it a toothy half-orc that proves the typical stereotypes. He's a bit of a brute and does not like decision making.

"Gessin' we gotta go visit onea dis Lady Dim's cronies. Sheesh, a highfalutin Lady, a solicitor, or a major whatsit. Domo? I vote for the one as is a whore, that Salbus fellow. The other two sound a bit stuffy, unlessin' that Major Domo is miltry. Soldiers, I c'n relate to, but pro'ly a stuffy title."

Done

Ditto, looks good and now Tusk is level 5.

"Don't bother me none. I done be spoiling for 'nother fight."

"Does it matter? 'Twas a great plan, yaknow? Ya should be a proud of it an' not wanna hide it at all. Da folks as would cause problem's paid fer da stuff, but never got ta keep em, so ho harm done. An you made out like a prince. Only thing I don' like was dat I hadta pay myself for the info. Good experience and teachin' though."

You can almost hear the gears grinding in his brain as he pauses and says,

"Say, hows about you pay me to keep real quiet like 'bout all this ifn its so 'portant to ya?"

day job: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18

"Gotta say, I like your style. Good eatin's," he says as he shakes extra salt on it.

Tusk rather likes the practical and ruthless nature of the man.

"Yea, I'm gonna go."
