Ulvard's page

Thanks very much for running this. The dice were not our friends this time around.

Ulvard takes a javelin and tosses it at the nearest target. "[Finally, a challenge that Ulvard can help with![/b]" he ruimbles.

ranged attack,bump: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 1 = 15

And then he quickly dodges to the side in the event of a reprisal.

But he is slow. Very, very slow. However as he moves he seems to trip for a moment...
HP rerollref,bump: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 6 + 1 = 20

Are the skills the same for the second story?

If nobody else is going to lead then Ulvard will. He is not backward about being forward. Even if there are no rivers to jump into.

Ulvard rumbles his appreciation of Hadrimos's tale. "Goblins not all bad though." he pauses for am moment, considering.
"But many not all good too. Oh, Ulvard has riddle!"

He puffs out his chest.

"I'm green or gray, with ears that stick out far,
I'll steal your boots and your ear!
What am I?"

He casually takes Toasty and lifts him overhead as he tells his riddle.

Ulvard quickly follows up the retrating figure in blue. "Arrghhhhhh" he roars. And those close by, well, try very well might hear what sounds like his sword echoing his words.

Immobilized? Who cares if you are a raging barbarian with an opponent within reach. Certainly not Ulvard. He continues his Quest to Create Firewood.

"AARRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

"Rrraagghhhhh" screams Ulvard at the reddish creature before him.
I did the ref saves above.

Exactly what he is trying to convey maybe unclear from his words, but the big sword swinging wildly does tend to get the message across.

I need to find another useful thing to do with that third action each turn when I don't need to move.

Ulvard twists and turns, trying to avoid the vines and thorns.

Ulvard sees no need to leap the river when there are opponents on this side of it. He draws and then suddenly charges backward- roaring as he does so.

Ulvard spends the week feasting and telling progressively larger tales. And jumping into whatever bodies of water present themselves.

When the group regathers for mapping activities he stretches and flexes his mighty arms, proclaiming "Ulvard is Ready!"

Big arms he may have, but also some knowledge of the woodlands.

nature,bump,mentor: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 1 + 1 = 11

However he is distracted by the attractive looking pond.

I haven't leant into it much recently. I used to describe sounds and faces running up and down the blade. Maybe I should go back to doing that.

Ulvard's sword has a potency rune but not a striking one. His rage means that the weapon gains ghost touch though, and the damage is spiritual rather than slashing

Urvard leaps benches and charges down on the ghost. "Arrghhh"

He then rapdily swings a second time, before it has a chance to vanish!

First action seeking, if Ulvar spots him, then he will sudden charge, hopefully that will give everyone at least as much hint about where Percy is, as pointing out. If Ulvard doesn't succeed the first time, he will try again, if he spots the second time, he will point out on his third action.

Bah, you are right. I knew you couldn't ready a three action activity, but thought you could do a two action one. Guess we are down to seeking. If I spot the ghost on the first seek, then sudden charge. If on the second, then point out, if on the third... well, seek as a third action is almost useless, but given I'm raging and not necessarily in the clearest of mindsets, I'd may as well do that.

Ulvard looks around, ready to attack the ghost, or whatever Peeves is, should it reappear.

*** ready action, sudden charge.

I have returned.

With the first rat gone, Ulvard quickly charges forward, leaping a bench to strike at the second one!

"RRRRRRAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH" he declares loudly.

Ulvard laughs in the face of fear and sickness.

Then, with a roar, he swings his hefty sword in a hearty manner. Hearty being also what he was aiming for.

However the laughing, as well as being undignified, puts him off his swing. But that doesn't matter, he can always swing again... and he does so.

Sadly that appears little better than the first swing. Frustrated he roars and swings third time, more in desperation than any real hope of effect

I totally forgot about the level bump.

I'm not use to being the baby any more.

Yes +1 to hit is always good, and +1 to skills helpful to make me not totally useless in skill challenges. Much appreciated.'

Suddenly realised... are we playing high tier? In which case, if anyone has a mentor boon, Ulvard would definitely benefit from it.

courage is always appreciated by Ulvard. The bonus to damage makes it better than bless. But I'm easy either way.

Ulvard roars his challenge out at the rats. It certainly sounds pretty impressive. Then quickly drawing his greatsword, he charges forward, swinging at the rat with yellow fur.

Sorry about not posting, for some reason I was only getting updates on the discussion thread, not the main gameplay, and I thought I had dotted in. Doesn't look like I missed anything too important yet.

Ulvard is happy to accept virtually anyones blessing.
Apart from women with spiders in their mouths. He has some limits.

Ulvard normally takes a healing potion. He needs them.

Likewise, Chronicle looks good, and many thanks for the fun game. I too hope there is a cleanup crew on rapid follow-up.

Ulvard burps very loudly at the closing meal. "Ulvard Likes Crabs!" he pronounces with earnest.

"And Ulvard likes Cannonballs. " he adds, making sure that Clarence Gets The Hint. Swiping a quick dessert he heads down to the harbor to board the Breachill Battlecry. Mounting the stern deck he climbs the rail and offers one final fantastic CannonBall to finish the aquatic adventure.

"Would have been better with boots." he mourns.

Ulvard steps back from the captain and digs in his bag for the Muskmellons he secured earlier.

"Ulvard Is Prepared!" he says presenting the trophy.

He does look carefully at the captain, staring straight at her mouth. "Ulvard needs to check there are no spiders in Captains Mouth. Women with spider in mouth canNOT be trusted." he proclaims.

Still slightly surprised at the big cut in his side, Ulvard however is quite clearly unhappy. Unhappy I say. UNHAPPY!

"YES. ULVARD IS VERY IMPRESSIVE!" he screams.

Taking advantage of Quqotengir's distraction, he strikes out at the captain once again. But once again, his blows seem weak and rushed.

Really.

Slowed by his wound, the big man steps sideways to give his brother, and hte other pathfinders, easier access the ship.

"Ulvard was looking for different sort of Saloon." says the big man, trying to explain for the upteenth time about that little mistake.

Somehow his words seem to be less effective than they would otherwise. Perhaps it is the big wound in his side.

RL always takes precedence. No need to hurry for us. Although sometimes a bit of light mayhem might be a helpful distraction.

Ulvard, happily rested, jumps from the longboat into the Eaglet. "We have melons! Ulvard not kill anyone. Today." he says proudly.

athletics: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

He then quickly drops the ladder for others to follow him up. Route secure the big man delivers a quick blow to the captain. "[b]You should join us![/]b"

Ulvard grabs a potion bottle with a pretty picture of a tree on it.

"Ulvard Strong, like Oak!" he agrees.

"Muskmelons taste good!" says Ulvard, wiping some juice from his face. The big man looks quite recovered from his hour, and there are even still some melons left.

"Pirate lady maybe want new employer. Also has pet that likes Muskmelons. Ulvard suggests Pathfinder society might want new sailors and offer melons as signing gift."

"Muskmelons?" asks Ulvard.

"Big Pirate Lady wants MuskMelons. Maybe best battle is one fought with melons, not swords?" suggests the big man, who must be more tired than he realised. Why would he suggest such a thing?

Ulvard points down the main road to the shipyard. "Form up, they won't be able to stand against a formed unit. "

warfare lore: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25

Ulvard smiles. "Pirates like to drink! Ulvard will help pirates!"

He leans his large form against a huge barrel and starts to push...

athletics: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

The big man seems to be getting tired, his energy lagging as the chase lengthens...

Ulvard stares at his brother, who seems to be half spider himself. Spiders, why does it always have to be spiders.

Suppressing a shudder he starts up the wall himself.
athletics: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

But as Spider-Nairaba crosses his vision he pauses, suddenly unsure of himself.

"Follow me.... " says Ulvard. "I saw a route from the inn.."

Deception is part of the Art of War, and making your enemies think one thing, while another is true is as important as skill with a blade. Well, that is what one of the old warriors, said. Notably one that had difficulty keeping a large blade in play for any length of time.

warefare lore?: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19 If not, then I'll do an untrained check in deception, which seems closest to what he is trying to do. So subtract 4.

Ulvard man handles a large crate into the path of pursuing pirates as he dashes down the street.

"Ulvard guesses we talk later?"

athletics: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27

Ulvard waits patently for his question to be answered, and then asks it again. "Bláinn, Ulvard wonders if MushMelons are for sale here or in inn? That might be good peace offering to Lady Longboat."

Then, listening to the pirate he asks "Ulvard also wonders if Grand Dock could offer Pirates similar deal but with less devils involved..."

Ulvard nods his thanks, then asks the assembled group. "Ulvard wonders if MushMelons are for sale here or in inn? That might be good peace offering to Lady Longboat."

He turns his grin on the pirate. "Ulvard has already sailed on Pirate Ship. Made Big Splash!" he adds, grinning at Clarence.

Do our helpful NPCs know of a muskmelon seller maybe?

"Ulvard wants to know who your Captain is. And is he going to need to deal with her, or would return of her crew be sufficient to make her go away and stop bothering nice shipyard?" rumbles Ulvard.

"Ulvard also wants to know Captains name. And description."

"And Ulvard!" adds Ulvard, helpfully. Or maybe not. The smoke and soot covered barbarian looks like he is quite exhausted. "You have likely heard of me!"

RP wise will help, but not mechanics wise! He will take a breather, again.
