"Ugly" Slevin's page

Ugly grins at the invitation from Walter. The chance to make new friends almost manages to wash her sense of failure away, and warms her spirit.

"I accept your fine offer, Master Walter, and will join you directly, after I wash the demon filth from my skin and hang up my apron"

Ugly slings a friendly arm around the shoulders of Gronder and says

"I hope your home holds enough fine spirits for two fine Dwarfs!"

I assume the attribute increases have to go into two different attributes?

Ugly wipes her gore-slicked hands on her work-apron and walks, grinning, up to her friend Gronder.

”Looks like we’re gonna hafta start calling you ‘Big BAD’ Gronder after today!”, she says, laughing and slapping the smaller man on the back soundly, ”Glad you were there to save an old lady who was in over her head - looks like I’ve gotten a little rusty from standing in front of a chemist’s bench.”

Ugly is glad the situation didn’t get any worse, but the incredible depth of her failure sinks down to her core.

You’ve gotten soft, Slevin, her Ancestors seem to say, soft and complacent. Too happy for someone who has lost their past, their people.

Ugly bites back the feelings of failure and forces herself to continue smiling at the younger dwarf who had saved her.

Sorry Gronder, no boon for you.

lol, if we keep rolling like this, we all gon die

Focused on the Portal Thing, and now spider-free, Ugly grits her teeth and nods at Gronder. Dread rises in her gut as her plan solidifies in her mind.

My god, girl, she thinks, aren't you just anxious to join the Ancestors today

She locks eyes with Gronder and leaps onto the slick, foul-smelling surface of the pseudopod, hoping to hold it still enough for him to finish with his axe.

Grapple/STR attack: 1d20 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + (1) = 5

Fast Turn

Ugly recoils at the sight of the egg spider, clinging to and scrambling up her leg. She shudders in a very un-soldierly manner and instinctively raises the club to crush the creature quickly.

Through clenched teeth she screams, to no one in particular, "Stop the infected! Don't let them leave the square!"

Maybe the guard is close enough to hear, by now. Maybe...

Attack: 1d20 + 1d6 ⇒ (5) + (5) = 10
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

looks like warrior is off the table, lol

Ugly sees Gronder making his way across the square with his axe.

Attaboy Gron, make our ancestors proud

Given the ineffectiveness of her simple club on the Thing's rubbery hide, she turns instead towards the tiny silvery beasties the Thing had coughed up. The sight of them scurrying into the square and attacking townsfolk turns her stomach. At least the club should crush their tiny bodies, and some more folk might escape...

Fast Turn if the little bug things are close enough to just squish

Slow Turn if I have to move first, and then squish

Attack: 1d20 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + (4) = 8
Damage (if needed): 1d6 ⇒ 6

Ugly will attack the Portal Thing on a slow turn, since she moved to jump onto it.

Attack: 1d20 + 1d6 ⇒ (5) + (3) = 8

welp

Dangit

welp

Ugly will attack the Portal Thing on a slow turn, since she moved to jump onto it.

Attack: 1d20 + 1d6 ⇒ (5) + (3) = 8

This assumes the Thing is a Demon and that my Hatred applies. If not, just take off the boon

I assume combat just starts when you (BookRat) say it does, since there is no initiative in this game?

Brandishing her club, Ugly races towards the merchant's cart overturned near the middle of the square. Her legs are short but move smoothly over the uneven crates and boxes, quickly climbing above the portal

What's the matter, girl?, Her old Captain's voice echoes in her ears as she leaps to attack the Demon, Think you're gonna live forever?

I'd like to jump off the side of the wagon and bring the club down on the Portal Thing as I fall

Is there anything near the portal that would let Ugly attack from on high? Or anything she could push into the way? Anything full of fuel/oil nearby?

Will Challenge: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (19) - 1 = 18

Almost before her hearing has returned, Ugly finds she is already running across the square. The old habits die hard, apparently.The fear rockets through her veins, turning immediately into adrenaline as she had trained it to all those years ago.

"Move!" she screams, "Get out of the square! Run! Fetch the guard!"

She snatches the club from her belt and looks for some high ground to attack from nearby.

I was thinking a Warrior or Rogue, either one with magic talents.

Choice made, tagline and inventory updated.

1) How long have you lived here?
Ugly has been in Asylum for years, hoping to find a way to get back at the Demons that destroyed her massif. Mostly she has spent that time working and hoarding her spare cash, hoping to gather a war chest.

2) What do you do in this town?
Ugly works for the local Alchemist Guild Shop, for a human man named Shakes.

3) What do you look like? How are you dressed? What's your general persona (timid, confident, etc...)
Ugly is a fading, middle aged female dwarf with graying black hair tied into hundreds of tiny, tight braids. She still moves with the confidence and speed of a young dwarf, however, and her eyes sparkle. She is almost never without her cigar, streaming smoke from the corner of her mouth.

4) Which other PCs do you know? How long have you known them? What's your attitude towards them?
Big Gronder and I know each other. We grew up in the same massif but didn’t meet until we both came here as refugees. He’s a nice chap, but a little too quiet for Ugly.
I have seen Gronder interact with Charles, but I have never met the man myself.

Hey Gron - do you think we know each other? Are we from the same massif that got destroyed?
