Victor Rattus Adustus's page

sorry took a while to reply, well school's fine i guess, life's been kinda boring too but i suppose that's a good thing. No idea what bojack horseman is though.

The system is realistic and i'm still getting used to it but it's fine

Hey hey! Still kicking and ready to throw a few more bombs!
I'm good with keeping the game up but seeing how things are going we might need to grab more people. Pyre's player is still around, so maybe go ask him if he wants to continue?

Victor scratches at his fur
"after all this marshy ground underfoot, a little dry land would be appreciated"

Victor curses and loads and another bolt into the crossbow
" bah i'll never get used being suddenly displaced. Stupid pests!"
he takes aim and shoots at another stirge
crossbow: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23
dmg: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Sorry i've been slipping on the updates, i'll post now

Victor grunts as the axe cleaves the pest in two
"hey watch the whiskers!"
He loads a bolt and shoots at another stirge
crossbow: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

int: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
knowledge (arcana): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22

Victor sniffs the corpse once, then turns to thoy
"completely and utterly inedible. Not even with salt."

Victor shakes the brew of creature blood
craft alchemy: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19
hey gm can you give me an extract from victor's mixing of the alchemical components?

Victor walks up to the hole a siphons some blood away
"I hope you don't mind desula, seeing how you're working with that magically blood there"
He chucks in some weird looking herbs and some other miscellaneous alchemical component into the mixture and heats it
" come on, gimme something good"

Victor would be rather annoyed by the smelly dead guy. Victor has a sensitive little nose.

Victor loads another bolt into a crossbow and shoots
crossbow: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 3 + 1 = 19
dmg: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Victor takes aim at the beast,then shoots
crossbow: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3
The shot goes wides and flies over the heads of all the other combatants.
"Oh nuts, my hands are a little shaky from not having used this thing in a while"

Victor draws the bowstring back and loads a bolt, taking a step to F4.
"I've got the beast in my sights"
wait isn't it god of the frogmen and thus the only correct response would be to shoot it in the face and hopes that it dies?

"wuhhhh?" victor speaks grogily, trying to sleep it off. He opens an eye just to check whether everything is okay when he spots.....
A huge terrifying monsters and desula being attacked by a worm
"WHY DO WE NEVER GET A FULL NIGHT OF SLEEP WITHOUT A MONSTER ATTACKING US"
He scrambles to, getting up from prone and drawing his bow, which extends with a cute "spoink" as the mechanisms lock in place
"sweet merciful gods, i hope i don't get caught again."
Victor was sleeping, slumped against the wall at E4

"second watch? I'll catch some shuteye first then"

perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19
victor shudders and readies his bow, loading a bolt into the weapon
" Might as well. You know, with all the encounters we've had you might as well be on guard."
I turns to look at the murky waters of the swamp and shudders again
" i wouldn't want to be trapped with anything down there. nope, not at all."

"well" victor begins, looking up at the sky
" i appreciate your kind hospitality but i'd prefer to get moving. The faster we leave, the faster we get to the relic right?"
what time of the day is it?
"besides, i really want my bow back"
He mutters.

so what we're trying to retrieve from skum-land is a symbol of peace from a kobold- bog strider war?

Victor pokes Desula, hoping to get the wizard to stop giggling.

Victor pouts and unstraps the crossbow.
"fine.but take care of the bow. IT'S A RELIC"
Victor emphasises his point by bowing before handing over the weapon.

Victor hugs his crossbow tightly
" Are all of us going in?"

I hope all goes well Tzardüsk!

Victor pads after desula, trying not to be too far behind.

Victor shifts uncomfortably in the muddy ground, making squishing noises.
"I'm with desula here.No telling what filth here might attract."

Knowledge nature: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12
perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

Victor grumbles
"oh joy.traps."

Victor continues to look at the fetish, curious to it's construction.
"Say Tzardüsk, what do you know of the presence of bog striders on the island?"

Victor looks up at the fetish
"oh geez"
he tries to focus on the parts of the fetish
"Orc torso, big cat head wings of an unknown humanoid and the thorax, is off a bog strider,insectoid humanoids that walk very quickly across the surface of the water. They are lead by seer queens with some spell like abilities. Seemed like most of the residents of the island all in one effigy".
he turns to desula and hands him some assorted bits and pieces
"i found these. might be useful for your spells."

That formation works pretty well

First time I've seen a zero....

Victor admires nature
perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23
knowledge(nature): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21
I'll be in the middle

Oh geez. Hope you're feeling better friend!

(this might sound really angry (i'm not angry just kinda perplexed ) but i'm having trouble understanding your viewpoint here thoy so please bear with me)
You not focusing on combat doesn't mean you can't participate in it. It's not a question of whether you're good at fighting or not. The question is will you fight with us or not. Victor is willing do give up using the stuff just so thoy can fight without getting into the actual heat of things.so is thoy not particpating in combat a character thing we can try to fix over time or is it something mechanical that renders thoy completely useless for combat (with stats like though you can still go crazy on people with a bow and deal more damage than victor will with his dagger)

I actually need crossbow bolts. Victor has his bow back but no ammunition to go with it.

Also victor is handing most of the alchemical loot to thoy.It worries him that thoy isn't participating in combat cause he wants to group to fight together.

loot left: 3 alchemist fires, 3 acid Flasks, a Thunder stone and a tanglefoot bag, and 6 Potions of CLW.
Victor grunts at thoy's comment.he hands 2 alchemist fires and 2 acid flasks and hands them to thoy
"you know, we really need your help thoy. You can throw these for some range if you're to afraid to take the front."
He piles on the thunder stone and tanglefoot bag
"use these in a pinch"
He takes a step back to admire his handiwork.
"looking good there thoy."
He pauses ploping another potion of clw
"only for emergencies." victor warns.
Then he turns around to distribute the rest of the potions of clw,humming a tune as he does so.
"a pair of potions for Pyre, another for Tzardüsk,and two for kalagan"
He dusts his hands.
"loot distributed."
loot is divided as follows
Thoy: 2 alchemist fires, 2 acid Flasks,1 Thunder stone,1 tanglefoot bag, and 1 Potion of CLW.
Tzardüsk:1 Potion of CLW.
pyre:2 Potions of CLW
Kalagan:2 potions of clw

Victor fidgets awhile with his crossbow, deep in thought.
"alrighty then, let's get going." a tone of reluctance hangs in his voice.

sounds good!

My school has organised a camp which unfortunately means that i will be unable to post anything for the next 3 days or so. form the 12th of march to the 14th of march. so feel free to bot victor if needed.

Victor shuffles uncomfortably.
" i know it isn't advised but i think we should split up. it's more efficient to go back collect the ones who are alive while the rest of you go on and find the missing people."
He looks around trying to think of a good composition of people
"preferably thoy and i will backtrack and collect the others, it'll be a safe run so we won't need the skilled combatants.The rest of you can move on and do what you need to. we'll catch up later"
victor quiets down, his plan being said.

Victor looks at the hat.
" at least we know they're here then"
He sounds hopeful, and determined to find the rest of the tengu
how far away are we from the shore? I think we should bring the rest of the crew with us before moving on.

Victor goes off what des finds and tries his own little investigation
knowledge arcana: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21

Victor grabs the goblin leathers and puts them on
"small armour for smallfolk ratfolk"
Victor also yoinks the feather hat off the dead Scum and the one feather off the goblin.
He dances round to desula
"hey des, you mind helping me check whether these are anything special?"
He gestures to the feathered hat and feather.
have the rest of crewmembers of the ship followed us?

i'll just shank it. The plague vial is a disease effect though. not sure how swift poison would work like that

oops I've just been kinda busy the past few days
Victor licks and stabs the goblin
dagger: 1d20 + 3 - 1 ⇒ (14) + 3 - 1 = 16
damage: 1d3 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (1) - 2 + 2 = 1

Victor stabs the goblin
dagger: 1d20 + 3 - 1 ⇒ (2) + 3 - 1 = 4
damage: 1d3 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 - 2 = 3

Victor tries for the third time to shank that stupid goblin
dagger: 1d20 + 3 - 1 ⇒ (14) + 3 - 1 = 16
damage: 1d3 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 - 2 = 3

Victor thrusts the dagger outwards, trying to reapply the plague on goblin 2
dagger: 1d20 + 3 - 1 ⇒ (11) + 3 - 1 = 13
damage: 1d3 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (2) - 2 + 2 = 2

goblin is affected by plague vial and must make a dc16 fort save or be sickened.(attacked victor with a melee weapon

Victor licks his blade and goes for the Goblin (number 2)
dagger: 1d20 + 3 - 1 ⇒ (5) + 3 - 1 = 7
dmg: 1d3 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (2) - 2 + 2 = 2
plague vial effects, goblin must make a DC15 fort save or be sickened.
Awww the wiff.
