Wulbert's page

Chronicle looks good to me. Thanks again!

Scenario complete! Chronicles will be up by tomorrow night.

Thanks for running!

Here’s my day job roll:
Perform (dance): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30

As Jovis continues to move forward, Wulbert focuses on his hand and the negative energy which infuses the halflings body begins to writhe in a sickly nimbus around the dwarves clenched fist.

Wulbert moves forward and casts inflict light wounds to give Jovis’ unarmed strike a nasty side effect once he makes it into melee range.

Jovis the dwarf moves forward whispering a prayer for Ashava's favour.

Wulbert moves forward and cast's divine favor.

Would we have had a chance to ready our own weapons when the Decemvirate members were talking and drawing their weapons or did that happen before we'd had a chance to react?

I’ll go with the monk, as I think that’s the last unclaimed one.

Probably the one which would be most useful for me would be the bard as I need to be within 30 foot of everyone to use misfortune and point blank shot, but I fight at range so the rogue, wizard, and monk abilities are not that useful for me. As I can already cast cure light wounds the cleric is not that useful either (and the barbarian is probably best going to one of our hard hitters)...although thinking about it maybe the bard is more useful on someone else as I'm quite slow so it may be better on a front liner.

I suspect its probably best if I just go with whatever is left after everyone else picks!

"Let's give it a try."

Wulbert follows Zehameti's lead and raises his own hood while reciting the prayer.

”Didn’t the Knight also mention that the gnome had said that the prayer she carved would be useful to future allies?”

”The one remaining place we visited was the Thicket, so maybe something from there?”

”So that used the information we found in the museum, I guess now we need to use what we discovered in the cave and the thicket.”

”It certainly wouldn’t hurt to try. Let’s give it a go.”

It definitely wouldn’t be a good idea to give the ring to Wulbert as he is healed by negative energy!

Wulbert spots Zehameti inspecting the statue and uses his oracular powers to examine it for magic auras.

Wulbert casts Detect Magic

"I'll take a look at that ring to see if I can work out what it does."

Wulbert examines the ring using Detect Magic with Guidance.

Spellcraft + Guidance: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 1 = 12

Wulbert gives a cheery wave to the two masked figures as they nod to the group, before having a good long think about the various pieces of information they found in the museum, the cave and the thicket.

Wulbert nods, intrigued at what they may discover.

Wulbert is happy to finally get some warm food.

"I think we were successful. We found an old lumber mill in the middle of the Thicket where a friendly knight lived. Apparently she was a follower of Ng and had been tasked with guarding the place by this Zaul character who we were investigating... Anyway, he'd given her a magic item which Dora worked out may have been the cause of all the strange things happening here. Luckily as we'd made friends with her, she gave us the magic item and then left on her travels. So one theory is that if we take the item away with us it should remove the source of your problems."

”Maybe Adelyn will be able to recommend somewhere local once we get out of the Thicket?”

Wulbert waves to the knight as she departs. ”Goodbye, and good luck with your travels. It was a pleasure to meet you” he says with a smile.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

”Well she seamed nice.”

"Oh!" exclaims Wulbert "I don't suppose the visitor you speak of was a gnome? Is there any more you can tell us about her?"

Wulbert listens to Dora's explanation and then turns to the Knight. "My friend Dora here is much more learned on such matters than me. Based on her insight it would appear that this Thicket could well have been brought into existence as a consequence of the magics within the Cowl. It is clearly an item of some power."

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

”I believe that’s the Autumn's Cowl, but don’t know not much beyond that.”

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (8) + 0 = 8

Wulbert has no idea what Zehameti is up to, but assumes she knows what she is doing, so follows suit.

Wulbert wonders if fate might conspire to give Zehameti additional insight into the Knights thoughts.
Wulbert will use Misfortune to give Zehameti a re-roll on her Sense Motive check. He’ll also try an aid the check by trying to get a read on the Knight himself.

Sense Motive to Aid: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (20) + 0 = 20

I think I've got the best Diplomacy so I went with lead on that, but I can aid on anything else other than nature and arcana (although none of them are anywhere near as good as my diplomacy).

Wulbert smiles at the knight "Hello, I'm Wulbert and these are my friend. I'm really sorry for the intrusion, we're definitely not here to defile anything. We're actually here on a bit of an investigation. Did you say you know Zaul Blystone?"

I can lead on Diplomacy.
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

Wulbert wonders if perhaps the knight happens to be in an especially good mood today.
Wulbert will Misfortune that.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

Appraise: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (13) + 0 = 13

"Oh look she's wearing the Autumn's Cowl." Wulbert whispers to his companions.

”I should be fine if you are just healing, the problem is more when it’s used to damage. But thanks for the warning.” Wulbert still takes a few steps back just to be on the safe side.

”Is it dead?” shout Wulbert.
”Do you need healing Zehameti?”

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Wulbert double moves and gets ready to heal.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Wulbert loads his crossbow again and takes another shot at the pumpkin.

Masterwork Light Crossbow + df + ff: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 5 + 1 + 1 = 14
Piercing Damage + df + ff: 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 1 = 5

I would give Zehameti a re-roll using Misfortune, but unfortunately I can't use an immediate action while flat footed.

Wulbert moves forward and takes a shot at the jack'o'lantern.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12

Masterwork Light Crossbow + df + ff: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 1 + 1 = 8

Boon Roll: 1d20 ⇒ 17

Sensing the oppressive nature of the parties new surroundings Wulbert loads his crossbow and whispers a prayer for Ashav’s favour.

Wulbert loads his weapon, casts divine favor and takes a step forward if there is room.

”Well this place looks interesting.”

Survival to aid: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (6) + 0 = 6
Knowledge (religion) + guidance: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 1 = 12

”How odd. I wonder what made it do that.”
Wulbert will use guidance to help anyone investigating the robed figure.

"Absolutely!" Say's Wulbert, his attention piqued by the mention of lost spirits "If there's anything I can do to help bring them peace I will."

"If you don't mind me asking, this massacre you mentioned, what exactly happened?"

"We've looking into the activities of some chap named Zaul Blystone if that rings any bells?"

As the party start making there way out of the cave Wulbert hangs back to check if any of the goblins are still alive and need stabilising or to cast guidance on any which have died in hope that it will stop their spirits from becoming lost.

He then heads back towards the entrance of the cave, but pauses at the pile of shattered stones and crushed dwarf skeletons realising that they probably need help as well. He racks his brain for anything he knows about dwarven burial practices.

Knowledge (religion): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

But ultimately decides to ask Helga and Urgrin if they know how the bodies should be laid to rest.

He’ll also give the wand to Cara.

”It can be used for other things. Judging by the state of it I think one of the goblins may have been using it to clean out its ears, but I’m sure it will clean up nice with a bit of effort. Does anyone want it, it’s still got a bunch of charges in it and it would be very handy if we get in another fight?”

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

”Ah…a wand for blessing people!.”

”Ooh, I guess that must be the nobles tail we were looking for.”

Wulbert takes a closer look at the items in the bag to see if they contain any further clues.

He also casts detect magic to see if there is any magic in the cave.

”Good choice Haja!” shouts Wulbert after the fleeing goblin. ”Mukrood was no good, he was holding you back….keep practicing the singing….I’ll come and visit next time I’m in the area….”

Wulbert cast stabilise on the closest goblin who is still bleeding.

Hearing the sound of combat from around the corner, Wulburt trots after Zehameti to find out what's happening.

Double Move.

As the light from his spell creeps further into the cavern revealing the sole remaining goblin, Wulbert aims is crossbow at the creature and smiles warmly. "I'd suggest going with the second option if I were you, she's quite dangerous, I certainly wouldn't be able to stop her. It would be such a shame to rob the world of your beautiful singing voice."

Wulbert smiles and follows Maaldrek.

Double move.

"I like their song." says Wulbert enthusiastically "Should we go and introduce ourselves?"

Does the chanting seem to be getting any closer, or is it maintaining a consistent distance from us?

As the murderous scene plays out before the party, Wulbert shivers, a grim look on his face.

"Something terrible happened here." he mutters "We should see that they are properly laid to rest."

Knowledge (religion): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23

"I don't know what would be appropriate for a follower of Droskar, but we can at least try and give them some dignity in death."

He start's to move forward, but his train of thought is suddenly broken by the sound of chanting to the west. Staring into the darkness he whispers another prayer to Ashava.

Wulbert casts Divine Favour.

"Hmmm...Before we do that, it appears we may have a more immediate problem..."

I have no idea how Wulbert ended up being such an expert on Droskar. I assume a chance conversation with someone back in Absalom about dwarven religion.

"It's definitely an odd place to leave a hammer. I wonder if it's linked to this 'old nobles tale' we're looking for?"

While his companions investigate the hammer Wulbert stays on alert for any potential threats which may decide to assail the party from the surrounding darkness.

Perception to see if he hears or spots anything suspicious: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (14) + 0 = 14

Wulbert will scamper after Maaldrek, looking out for signs of danger.

Double Move.

Wulbert ponders Knuckles question. "I suppose in theory anyone could worship Droskar if they wanted to. Although I guess that would be rare as he's very much a deity associated with the dwarven pantheon."

Turning to the cavern looming ahead of them he squints into the inky darkness. "Well I guess we'd better start searching around for some clues and see what we can find."
