Varl Togaard's page

Sorry guys! I let Baldwin know first, but demands back home are picking up and I can't post as often as I would like. I'll be following the thread and best of luck to each of you.

Ya found da children Nibb? Varl asks questionably. Seems ya found something else too. The dwarf mutters kicking the corpse of the Darkmantle. Hopefully da children are in one piece. Ah heard dat goblins like to take a bit at a time da keep em fresh...

Gah! What am I doing Mutters Varl, looking around the room in a daze as if several days had passed in the blink of an eye. Looking down at his axe he shrugs before settling his gaze on a tiny green goblin. Moving forward the dwarf takes a swing at the hated enemy.

Hey guys, sorry I have been MIA for a bit. My wife is going back to work tomorrow so I expect I'll be doing a round of updates. Sorry about the absence and I just want you to know I am looking forward to getting back into the routine of posting.

Afternoon Guys,

Well I just got back from a deployment and I am exhausted. I won't be posting much for a day or two while I take the chance to spend some time with my wife. Expect a post in 48 hours or so. I will make one more for this evening.

-Varl

Third times the charm. Varl mutters as he takes another swipe with his axe towards the jeering goblin.

Attack Q6 w/PA: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 8 + 1 = 25
Damage: 1d10 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 2 = 6

Now I'm getting angry! Varl grunts, as he watches his last axe blow swish past the nible goblin.

Attack Q6 w/PA: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 8 + 1 = 14
Damage: 1d10 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 2 = 12

Kill the mouthy one! Varl yells, swinging his axe at the nearest goblin.

Attack Q6 w/PA: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 8 + 1 = 16
Damage 1d10 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 2 = 7

Moving foward into the room, Varl watches as Rammellorn hacks into a goblin on the north side of the cavern. Seeing Vatilda facing several goblins the dwarf moves to the south to watch her flank.

MA: Double Move to R6

Baldwin I want to move in and attack, making the most of my cleave, and finishing cleave feats, but without the updated map I am unsure of the best placement.

I’m coming, I’m coming! Varl barks, rushing as fast as his stumpy legs can carry him down the cave passage towards the sounds of combat.
______________________________
Double Move to P11

Really sorry about the absence, If I could have posted to say something I would have. I'm here and catching up.

Round 5

Angered by his own luck rather than any skill on the part of the goblin, Varl roars while swinging his axe towards the green runt.

>SA: Attack K17 w/PA 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 6 + 1 = 18
>>Damage 1d10 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 2 = 11

Laugh all ya want ya bugger! Varl mutters as he swings his axe towards the last remaining goblin in the eastern tunnel. Let's see if your still laughing when I split ya stem to stern

>MA: 5' step into L16
>>SA: Attack K17 w/PA 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
>>>Damage: 1d10 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 3 + 2 = 14

Swinging the axe towards the goblin, Varl bellows as the blade catches a stone outcropping in the ceiling. Gods be dammed! Varl swears as the goblin taunts him. Just wait… just you wait.

>Attack Goblin 1 w/PA 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
>>Damage 1d10 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 2 = 12

Rammellorn, there's only two here! Who knows how many are in front of us. Help the others. I'll cover this side. Varl yells, throwing himself at the goblins with fierce abandon.

>MA 5’ step to L15
>>Attack Goblin 1: 1d20 + 1 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 6 = 11
>>>Damage: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
>>>>Attack Goblin 2 w/Cleave: 1d20 + 1 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 + 6 + 1 = 18
>>>>>Damage: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
_______________________
If I kill one of them I get another attack due to cleaving finish.

Squeezing through the narrow cavern Varl rushes foward to block the side passage incase there are more goblins.

Double Move to L15

Aye mate, fair's fair.

Give me a hand here. Varl whispers pointing to his plate. It's much easier getting into it with someone else to help.

Fine.. fine Varl mutters while grimacing at the tied up goblin. Give me a hand outta this. I'm putting it back on as soon as we are on da other side through!

Now hold on, ya want me da strip down to my skivvies and fight goblins? Rapping his gauntlet on his breastplate, Varl shakes his head. Betsy ain't going nowhere. Crossly looking at the other members of the group Varl nods to himself. That archer is still around and I don't fancy taking a barbed arrow to me jibblys

Bah! And here I was planning to axe him. Well have fun.

I can't claim to know the will of the gods, but I'll say this. I've never met another of the kin that would show mercy to a goblin. Shaking his head Varl sighs over the rim of his tankard. They flood up from the tunnels and will drag what ever they can down below. They kill maim and pillage or had you forgotten about the farmhouse? The trail came to this very cave and then he attacked us and you still want to let him go? I'm all for a fair shake but they are goblins! Standing up, Varl grabs his axe and makes his way towards the tied up goblin. Vatilda is right. You can't have it both ways. Don't worry I'll do it out of sight if you have such a weak stomach.

Huh.. thats a neat trick learning a language in a few hours. You must be pretty smart.

Der Goblins Rammellorn. Any Dwarf worth his ore knows they are a blight. Ya put em down and move on. Dey would do da same for you. Besides, I diden't sign on to take any goblins prisoner. Next you will be offering him some of our food too! Bah!

All updated. I woulden't mind the shield of faith. Varl is ment to have a high AC and take hits so it would be worth it to me.

Whoa, whoa whoa there mate! Whats that about goblin being a primitive form of Dwarven!? Ya best be careful, dem be fighting words. Varl mutters eyeing the gnome carefully.

Varl's HP: 1d10 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 1 = 9
+1 BAB
+1 Ref
+1 Will
+1 Perception
+1 Knowledge (dungeoneering)
+1 Survival
Feat: Cleaving Finish

Guy's I'm updating my character sheet to level 3 now.

Sighin at the thought of some roast boar, Varl nods. I'll give you a hand. Before stopping infront of the goblin prisoner. Eh.. it seems that we forgot to deal with this one. I'll handle him if your too squeemish Rammellorn.

So, we trapped them in their hole. We could set a watch in pairs. What do you all say?

I'm back, thanks for helping me out with the actions Baldwin.

Sorry guys! I'm a little indisposed right now, I'll be posting tomorrow!

Yea.. the plan kinda went to crap!

Guys, do you have any suggestions here? I thought blocking off the side enterance was the smart move, but with Vatilda charging ahead its rather pointless. I got two rounds worth of actions, Any suggestions? I doubt I can squeeze through the passage.

Vatilda! Varl yells. Get back here! I can't protect you if you rush ahead!

Baldwin is it at all possible to push foward with my platemail through the passage? I dont want to leave Vatilda by herself.

Round 9

Silent as stone, Varl keeps his axe ready to attack any goblin who attempts to cross into the passage. He coulden't be sure with the mist but he knew they were out there.

Ready Action: Attack first goblin that attempts to get within range.

Sorry I coulden't be more help guys. I think protecting our back is important, but it feels like I am doing a whole lot of nothing.

Wow, already? That *was* fast! How did you want to work HP by the way?

Seeing the misty hazy flooding our from Karnog, Varl lowers his shield. The mist should obscure the goblins aim, making it easier to hold his choke point. Going silent, Varl readied his axe preparing to swing at any goblins who might try to rush past.

Readied Action: Attack any goblin that enters my reach.

Come at me and taste dwarven steel! Varl yells, hunkering down behind his shield.

FRA: Total Defense, AC 26

Round 6 – Into the Cave

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

Roaring out in defiance as the spell begins to coalesce Varls inborn resistance to magic throws off the yolk of the spell Ya have da try harder den dat! Varl yells, throwing up his shield defensively.

FRA: Total Defense +4 AC, AC is now 26

Round 7 – Into the Cave

Hunkering down beside his shield Varl yells back to the rest of the group in Dwarven. I’ll hold this plug, un’ keep em from streaming in. Ya clear out that cave. We can’t have em taking us from both sides.

Hold the Gap! FRA: Total Defense +4 AC, AC is now 26

Sorry about not posting today. To say I was busy today would be a gross understatement.

Bah! What self-respecting dwarf would run away from some goblins? *shrug* It depends if they start pouring out of the walls then I could see it happenining.

Round 4: Into the Cave

Waddling forward on his stumpy legs, Varl moves around the side of the cave towards the goblin currently locked in combat with Argrim. Fancy a taste of steel, runt? Varl yells, swinging the axe towards the little green menace.

>MA: Move to E-11
>>SA: SA: Attack E10 1d20 + 1 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 + 6 + 1 = 21
>>>Damage 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
My retcon for round four. I would also like to know if during my movement I can see what is in the cave to the east of us.

Round 5: Into the Cave
Why won’t you die already! Varl yells whipping his axe around in a scything arc towards the pugnacious goblin warrior.

>SA: SA: Attack E10 1d20 + 1 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 6 + 1 = 13
>>Damage 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Round 5 I will do that for you Argrim.

Round 4: Into the Cave

Just die allready! Varl yells, hacking away at the goblin who attacking his friend.

>SA: Attack C10 w/PA 1 + 1d20 - 1 + 6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ 1 + (10) - 1 + 6 + 1 + 2 = 19
>>Damage 1d10 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 3 + 2 = 15

Wow! Thanks for the update Baldwin.. its very cool to hear that.

Careful Argrim! Varl yells out stepping up to flank the flanker (B10) and taking a swing at the goblin attacking Argrim's back.

>SA: Attack C10 w/PA 1 + 1d20 - 1 + 6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ 1 + (2) - 1 + 6 + 1 + 2 = 11
>>Damage 1d10 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 2 = 11

Round 2: Into the Cave

Better keep up Argrim, I’m up to three! Varl yells swinging his axe around towards the nearest goblin (D9)/

>SA: Attack D9 w/PA 1 + 1d20 - 1 + 6 + 1 ⇒ 1 + (13) - 1 + 6 + 1 = 20
>>Damage 1d10 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 3 + 2 = 15
