Vaxillis's page

Ok, as of tomorrow, it will have been 2 weeks since we heard anything from the DM. It is not looking good. He had some issues with life getting in the way in the past and I hope everything is alright with him and his family.

I am sorry everyone... I really wanted this one to last...

Haha, Time Of Death. :p

Yeah, sorry. I am about to call it too... Giving him until Monday.

Seems that way. Let's give him until Monday before we call TOD.

Yeah... I am thinking that life got in the way again. I am used to being patient. I hope you guys are too... This is a really casual game, the DM said as much when we started the first time. :)

He's been MIA today. Hopefully, he'll be back tomorrow.

We got a wood elf monk waiting on the OK in the other recruitment thread, boss. Just giving you the heads up!

Vax looks thoughtful, "That would be the best if we could somehow signal the people inside that we are 'friendlies'. We also should be wary of the band screaming around the perimeter. let's discuss it as we make our way through the tunnel."

"What do you all think about sneaking through the woods, to the rear of the church. We could hit that group hard and hopefully finish them before the perimeter guard comes round the back."

He looks at Ammon and Ren, "Do either of you have the ability to put out the fire if it is already lit?"

EDIT: In response to Ren's comment, the human cleric smiles, "Not ominous, little one, a simple fact. Everyone goes through points in life that test them. Some faiths call them trials, some lessons. Ilmater calls them the Suffering. It is the crucible that tests you and gods willing, you emerge stronger for it."

We have been mostly doing RP over there as we wait for DM Ashman, hopefully he will give you the go-ahead today!

The scarred devotee laughs, Well met, little ones! Now, let us see about saving those people in Chauntea's shrine!"

@DM Ashman- What is the lay out? Are we approaching from our little secret tunnel? If so, I assume we will have to be out in the open for a bit? Would we be able to find a defensible position to lob spells and arrows at the kobolds and cultists?

EDIT: Also, did Ammon and I get any gold for the first part of the adventure?

"I am Vaxillis, of Reddansyr, little one. I am a simple devout of Ilmater, and guide through the Suffering. One learns much of themselves when things are not ideal."

The human cleric looks worn, scarred, but the easy smile on his face is disarming. He often casually rubs a string of prayer beads between his thumb and forefinger.

The EE player's guide is not available for the Tyranny of Dragons campaign, as far as I am aware.

Woo hoo! It'll be fun seeing a monk in action!

"We're looking to break a little siege," the ex-soldier's grin growing across his face, "Are we all capable at range? Let us see if we can break the siege at distance."

What are the surroundings of this temple like? Are there things that we might be able to roll into them (say is it at the bottom of a hill?) or surround hidey-holes that we could strike from?

Sorry guys, school just started and we are slammed here at the Bookstore. I will try to post tonight! Thanks!

Hang in there, Ren, hopefully DMAshman will get you in on Monday!

"As my friend, Ammon, said we were just approaching the town and saw it under attack," the smile fades from Vax's face as he continues, "I have never heard of a dragon using minions to assault a town. I mean, it is not like the town poses the dragon any threat! Something is strange here, the robed humans seem more like they are religious fanatics than marauders. Hopefully the Governor will know where we can find some answers..."

There was another halfling that posted in the recruitment thread, that should make 4 if DMAshman let's him in. :)

"None of us call ourselves heroes, little one," the human smiles, "That being said, any help would be welcome."

At the halfling's observation the ex-soldier laughs, "You could say that, but our blades and maces are fewer as time goes on. Hopefully, the Governor can find us things to do that have less to do with fighting, but one can only hope."

Vax begins shimmying out of his chain shirt and donning a suit of scale mail that he got from the quartermaster. "Hopefully this will provide a little more protection, even if I give up a little stealth for it... you can hear him mumbling to himself.

I'll let DMAshman answer that, but we are trying make it a one post a day, with breaks on the weekend.

The cleric smiles a tired smile at the newcomers, "Welcome and well met. I am Vaxillis, of Reddansyr, humble cleric of Ilmater."

The middle-aged human absently rubs a strand of prayer beads between his thumb and forefinger. The prayer beads are darkwood carved to resemble chains and at the clasp is a larger bead with engravings of a shackle.

Heh, just wondering what was going on. I noticed that DaWay opened up a recruitment thread for HotDQ, and I think he is stealing away all of our interest... :p

DM? Ammon? Hallooo? Why do I feel like I should turn around? >.<

Ammon, you still here? We got 3 applicants so far! Hopefully we can start back up soon!

So, it looks like we got 3 applicants, hopefully DMAshman will respond today and we can welcome you all to join us. This will be quite an eclectic group!

I guess I will not be re-working the character into a monk after all. :)

I am not sure on the correct call, but I believe that any character that is created from here on out is supposed to use the starting equipment, though they can "sell" them for half price. However that may cause you to lose out on a bit of gold.

Cool!

@Murph, no, but DM is allowing one of the special campaign bonds from the Hoard of the Dragon Queen. ^_^ They are really good to tie you in to the campaign! Also, as time goes on, we can gain prestige within our faction to unlock special missions and stuff. Don't know if it will come up in this campaign, but if you do any expeditions at you FLGS, you may be able to benefit!

@Dain, a redeemed dwarf, eh? ;) I like it!

@Rorek55, I don't you can do that for Adventurer's League. If it is an Adventurer's League character, DM Ashman may be willing to let it go at 3rd.

We need more peoples! With Gaming Ranger we will be 3. To quote Ocean's Eleven, "You think we need one more? Okay, we'll get one more..." ^_^

Just a note, I reconfigured my character a little. I built him with the quick build per the most recent Player's Guide. It bumped me up to Scale Mail, but I lost a fair amount of gold. The character sheet has been updated, if you want to take a look.

Thanks!

We'd be happy to have you aboard!

A warlock and a life cleric, though if someone else wants to play a cleric, I might rework the cleric into a monk with the healer feat instead.

I'm hoping that he will open up a new recruitment thread on Monday. Weekends seem to be weak posting days.

Bummers. Will send you a PM. Email me if we ever start up again.

Any more interest?

Well, if it is an existing AL character, I think DM Ashman would let it go, since we just made 2nd level. :) But I will let him make the final call.

I'm here too, but Rasym said he can't stick around. :( You gonna open up recruitment again? If we get a cleric, can I change it up and rework him as a monk?

Sorry to hear that Ras. It was good to have your blade at our side!

I hope so too. I really want to go through this AP. DM said that when he comes back, he would open up recruitment again. Here's to hoping!

He said 8 weeks back on June 4th. That would put it to about first week of August. Let's give him until about the 10th.

What is the current update? :)

No problem! We are patient. ^_^

Ok, no worries, seems like it is crazy for everyone! This is going to be tough with the three of us! I wonder if DM Ashman might want to open recruiting after his 8 weeks, when he can post more often... ^_^

Ras, you still around?

lvl 2 update complete!

Vax, wiping his forehead from the sweat, asks the Mayor, "We did what we could, would you happen to have a suit of chain mail or splint mail? I could pay you something for the chain, but I doubt I have enough in coin to afford the splint mail."

I forgot to upload the 2nd lvl version of Vax. I will try to remember to upload it and update the link to lvl 2 Vax this weekend. Not a lot changed. I got 7 more hp and Channel Divinity 1x/day. Looking to trade up to heavy armor, and hopefully get Heavy Armor Master at 4th.

Ok, will level the character, but since it is AL, can we get the total when you get a chance? And no worries, I was just checking in because it had been a few days. Thanks!

So, where are we at, boss?

We have 70 as of the last time we received XP. I tried messaging Elessandra, but haven't heard back.

Ras, do you have any ranged weapons? Remember that thrown weapons can use your strength bonus to hit and damage! If Vax knows that you have thrown weapons, he would wait until they were as close as possible without giving up the advantage. If we get the advantage it would cancel out the disadvantage for long range too.

Oop, forgot to roll damage!

Vax makes sure that they allow them close enough so that we can close to melee range quickly after our initial strike...
