Okay if we're going path of the vampire I'm going to rearrange Zerik's stats a bit. He is Human instead of Half-Orc Feats: (1) The Bitten (H) Point Blank Shot (2) Precise Shot (3) The Dying Str 17+1
Okay so stats for Zerik now are: Str 17+1
(I love all the odd numbers.)
Well, I have to take one of the campaign traits, so lets say that's what I've been accused off by the authorities of Talingarde :) I should also mention that I have played this campaign till level 3 before some I am somewhat familiar with it, though I would have missed a bit since you all seem to be at level 4.
Zerik is a Half-Orc/Urban Ranger/4 mercenary (Favoured Enemy:Human). He took a job to take out a business rival of a wealthy merchant. Unfortunately the target was a wealthy noble who was tipped off and the job went south. He was sentenced to Brandescar for attempted murder. Zerik is tough and brutal fighter and he also has many skills. He is equally skilled Blades and the Longbow. He knows his way around traps and good at spotting and disabling, or setting them up if needed. He is usually accompanied by his pet wolf "Fang". Fang is fiercely loyal though not very disciplined.

Hey guys, just thought I'd say hi. It's been really interesting reading the game progress. Glad to see Nahia and Seren are still in and Aku you've been doing a stellar job! Cheers, Zerik
Zerik leads the panther around the back to what appears to be a vegetable patch garden and it seems to be quiet around here. "Alright Zeus, I hope you enjoy that lovely bit of meat. Try not to kill anything for a bit eh." He says petting the magnificent cat. Zerik heads back in and seeing the others engrossed in their conversation he decides to sit down at another table with earshot and calls the barmaid over.
Zerik pours himself a glass of the drink, savouring the flavours of the strong beverage. "This is good." Zerik looks around worried not to see Erik, but as he gets through the drink he starts to feel relaxed and begins to enjoy the company of this beautiful companions, whose social graces he find himself envying. "Hey gorgeous." he calls out to the barmaid. Drinking the strong drink before dining he finding himself slightly intoxicated. "Could you bring me something hot and spicy. I'm starving. And a piece of raw meat for the cat." He flashes a smile at the barmaid thinking himself dashing but ends up looking awkward.
Sorry my posting hasn't been very active of late. I had a change of teams at work and things have been very hectic but now things should be back to normal again. :)
Zerik and his new little panther pet (size:small) Zeus, explore the town of Alendross learning its layout and who the important people are. After spending a few hours exploring he finds his way to the Lord's Daliance Inn and settles down with Nahia and Seren, Zeus lazily relaxing next to Zerik. How's it going ladies? Have you learned any thing interesting? Zerik then tells them what he has learned about the town.
Zerik event: Zerik watches the panther transfixed by the majesty of the animal. He watches it fend off attacks, outnumbered, battered, but refusing to give in. "What a creature."
Zerik snaps out of his trance as the battle comes to and end, the fierce black cat collapses from its wounds. Zerik suddenly finds himself beside the cat.
He looks into the cats half open eyes, seeing almost a reflection of himself. The fierce, proud, solitary hunter. Zerik is about to call out when he finds Nahia by his side, working her magic to heal the injured animal. [Zerik pulls out herbs from his pack, he wets them with his water skin and starts to mix it into a paste before packing the cats wounds with mixture and bandaging the wounds. "Rest brave hunter, this shall not be your last fight." Zerik remains by the cat's side until it's better, feeding it meat from his pack.
I could use some help coming with a name for the panther. That's the one thing I've been really struggling with. I'd love some suggestions.
+1 to Int for a total of 12 Skills 7+2
Cat (Small) Panther Sorry for the delayed posting but I've been working 16-18 hour days and I've had no time. I will probably be like this until the end of next week, so if I'm slowing down play please DMPC me.
Working on the details for Zerik. I'll post when I get home from work tonight. I'll be gaining an animal companion. Cat (small) Leopard (Reskinned as a black panther). Very excited!
Zerik smiles when he is dealt the bloody blow. He fights through the pain adding, "Your time is at its end captain." spinning into his next attack.
Zeri's hand moves to the hilt of his sword when Sakkarot demands that the squire remain here, and threatening his companions. He is ready to leap across the table and strike at the bugbear chief when Eirc responds... diplomatically. Zerik relaxes and the conversation seems to continue. "I like this Sakkarot less and less. He asks much and offers little." Zerik stands up and begins to leave the table remember his plans to eliminate the crew. "Firth the captain. He seems the most dangerous. I shall take Jack and Eirc's aid. No taking any chances with that one."
Zerik finishes his mouthful of food and says, "We locked in that infernal prison, chained up like animals. We were branded. The forsken they called us. Though I knew that I was such long before I came to these lands... Cardinal Thorn's agent, Tiadora, visited us while we were there, providing us with the tools for our escape." "We used all our skill to escape, but before we were free our escape was discovered. We were outnumbered but not outmatched. I was never a believer in the Gods, but Erik, he believed in Asmodeous, and his belief was infection. I could see that he was guided by more than his own thoughts and skill, he had power more than his body would allow, it was Asmodeous' will. Then I believed and felt the power too. We were able to defeat our foes and escape that accursed place, reaching the Cardinal, where we were further trained, tested and trained. And so were are here before you." he finishes and continues eating with little regard for what the bugbear has made of his tale.
I'm going to be out of town from the 6 to 9 March (Paragliding!) and I'll have limited connectivity. Just wanted to keep you guys posted.
Zerik returns to the table with the crew. While for a piece of meat Zerik hears the chief call out to him. Zerik listens and begins to laugh. "Offence? No none at all. I merely wished for the crew of the ship that brought us here, through great dangers and with fine skill, may feast at your grand table." he says taking a bite out the roasted animal.
Enjoy the holidays Aku! -Posted with Wayfinder
Thanks for the reminder Nahia. Someone might want to tell Zerik that because he is planning on killing them in their sleep. May as well roll with the mistake. Thanks for the Google doc suggestion. I'll start doing that. I'm very new to take top rpgs I just started playing around the last quarter of 2013. Zerik is my first character to get pay level 1. The character is most enjoyed so far are Zerik (though) he isn't very expressive and my Half-Elf Tiefling Rogue. She's very sarcastic, tends to get the group in trouble by overestimating her capabilities, and has caused some pretty fun RP moments in PFS PBP, which I find to be rare. -Posted with Wayfinder
Zerik silently takes in the scene around him as his usual way. Having never scene bug bears before he is quite intrigued by their behavior. He finds himself admiring their independent if not savage ways rather than loathing them as he expected. He watches Nahia skillfully navigate the social niceties and her skillful and practiced charm work its magic on Sakkarot. "She is good at what she does." he thinks to himself. Zerik is careful not to partake in any drink during the feast hoping Erik and Jack abstain as well. He offers the crew of the ship to join in to the feast offering them drink as well. "You can't stay on that boat. Come, eat and drink with us. Celebrate with us, we have succeeded!" Later in the night Zerik tries to catch Eric and Jack's attention. If they follow him away he says. If Eric and/or Jack come with him: "Lets try and keep the crew drinking. We can't forget the last duty we have towards them. It will quickest and easiest if we finish them in their sleep." he whispers.
"That's a big one. I expect he's the leader. The cardinal seems to have chosen well. " a smile spreading across his face. -Posted with Wayfinder
Oh, I must have missed that. I am a little greedy but if that's what was agreed I'm happy to go with the flow. Jack does pull his weight so it is fair that he receives a portion of the loot. -Posted with Wayfinder
Didn't know Jack was getting a share. He isn't part of the knot, I was under the impression he would be provisioned from the "Party" gold.
The boat ride:
Zerik continues to silently observe the workings of the crew. As they journey the weather begins to cool turning into very cold nights. Zerik practices his sword kathas to keep himself warm, though he isn't affected by the cold the way some of the others are.
"The workings of these water vessels is interesting. This crew is not made of warriors. They are thin, but deceptively strong and quick to carry out their duty. I do not think that disposing of them will be as easy as I had hoped." Suddenly they hear splashes. One of the crew goes overboard. "Damn it. What was that?" Another splash. "Some kind of water creatuers." "To the centre of the boat, back to back! What are those things?" Zerik draws his sword. Slashing at the watery beings as they continue their attack. It last long, slowing as if they mean to withdraw then a sudden flurry of attacks. "Nahia is injured but it seems Seren is caring for her. May Asmodeous grant us strength to vanquish our foes!" They fight on until it finally ends. "Well fought!" he says to his companions. Erik and Grublejack doing very well to fight off the creatures as expected and even Timeon holding his own. Their rest after that is unsettled. None on the Frosthammer seem able to sleep without fear of attack. Zerik goes to Nahia and watches over her as she recovers. "You better not be planning on dying on us. You would miss out on too much fun." he says through a smile, trying to hide his concern. He hands her some bread, salted pork what she most enjoys, a good stiff drink. Though he does not wish to admit it, he finds his independent, work by himself ways being challenged. Zerik finds himself growing fond of his companions and relying on them more and more. He is very dangerous by himself, but as a team, they are the deadliest force he has ever know or heard of. Finally our destination approaches. "This should be interesting. he says under his breath as they disembark from the boat. "I'll let them handle the talking. I'll keep by bow and sword at the ready."
Zerik watches the boarding crew and captain carefully, looking for any sign of aggression or discovery of the weapons the smuggle. He stays back for now but close enough to quickly intervene. Readied Action: "Enough talking." Zerik draws his greatsword and attacks the other captain.
No I believe if you want to keep an item you have to pay what we would receive for it. For weapons we would only receive half for it so if any party member seeks to retain it then they pay half as well. That's the way we have been doing it.
"I'm certain you have heard something Captain, I'm sure you're not an honest merchant trader on every journey and you would have heard something. What of their tactics, do they fight from range or will they close and board?" "We may be able to use rope and grappling hooks to lock them into so that we can close for hand to hand combat which will favour us, rather than fighting a ranged battle." Clearly feeling this will come to a fight Zerik begins to check his bow, weapons and armour, seeing that everything seems to be in order.
Zerik keeps to himself avoid the Captain after their initial encounter. He spends most of the voyage in silence, carefully observing the crew, their tasks, their duties. He notices who is quick, who is strong, who is lazy and diligent. Zerik learns a good deal about how the ship is run but still only has a very rudimentary idea of things. -------------------- Zerik informs the others of the Patrol ship as soon as he spots it. He listens carefully to their advice adding, "A noble knight of Mitran will have great influence over a mere patrol boat, but any diligent inspection will quickly reveal our true purpose. It is likely we shall have fight with them. Finding a way to disable the patrol boat will be critical. If we engage and they withdrawn to call for reinforcements will not be able to prevent them. Captain, how are these patrol ships usually crewed?"
Will do. I'll update it tomorrow. I'll finally have a day off hopefully :)
Earlier:
Zerik accepts the potion, slipping it into one of the pockets in his cloak. [b]"Thank you. This is a useful gift." Zerik doesn't change his attire too much. He plays the part of a mercenary. This average gear and dark clothing fit the part. He ensures that his brand is not visible and goes to lengths to ensure that it is well covered. "This is your boat and so we follow your rules, captain. Just remember, these are our goods and it would be well if you and your kept their thoughts and getting us where we mean to go. I am no sailor and I would rather not be forced to take up such duties. Our holy knight here has his code, I am here because I am not constrained by such... beliefs." he says after boarding the ship. "It's best to keep be straight forward about such things. Better to have them fear and hate us than try to slit our throats and steal our cargo in the middle of the knight."
Sounds good. I like the idea of a merc. Gives me a little more flexibility than caravan guard.
Very sorry for being away and slowing things down. I've just caught up on the discussion thread. I'm okay with contributing to equipment for the followers. Zerik isn't buying or selling any gear. He will go with what he has. I haven't read game play yet, but I like the idea of Erik being a knight of Mitra since he has the plate and we have access to the holy symbol. Zerik can be a caravan guard or a squire of Erik, I'd be happy with either. I update after I read game play. Cheers and sorry once again for the delay.
Erik, we can get the armour refitted for you now before we go. I'll front the gold if needed. Better than having you die. Aku isn't pulling any punches, we can use all the AC we can get. Take the full plate. Give the boy the half plate. I'm saving up for mithral breastplate. With the trait that will only be a penalty of -1. Until I'll try not to die using the chain shirt from the prison.
@Erik Go with shield wall. I"m fine with that, i've got my feats planned pretty much till the end. Btw, I believe you need to rework the full plate so that you can use it.
This metal suit includes gauntlets, heavy leather boots, a visored helmet, and a thick layer of padding that is worn underneath the armor. Each suit of full plate must be individually fitted to its owner by a master armorsmith, although a captured suit can be resized to fit a new owner at a cost of 200 to 800 (2d4 × 100) gold pieces. @Aku I believe that Erik wants the lad to use his half plate and he will in turn use the MS Full Plate we got.
Okay, cool. Thanks Aku. I'll take favoured terrain urban then.

I thought about Ranger, if we need another one. I'm a bit concerned about his survivability. Battle Cleric could he pretty good. He has strength and he will have Wisdom later if he survives so that could work. I'm fine with either. I'd also like to know what Aku would like to play since he will be controlling Jack. What would you like him be Aku? -Posted with Wayfinder
He would also make an excellent Fighter, then. Str is his only strong stat, and personality wise he is quite the warrior. He could slaughter little uns and he would have the advantage of plate armour and a shield/tower shield. -Posted with Wayfinder
He seems to make a natural barbarian. I'll post my advancement when I get home from work. -Posted with Wayfinder
Zerik lies on the floor unconscious, bleeding out, not for the first time in this dungeon. (Thank god for the rubbish crit confirmation. I'm surprised I'm not dead with his bloody crazy attack bonus. Sorry Erik, you lost your flanking bonus.)
Zerik attempts to leap past and around the knight trapping him between Erik and himself. He spins around as he turns to face his foe, the greatsword rushing towards it's target.
"Damn it boy! Just tell them what they want to know. Your god has abandoned you and will not help you. How do you think this will end? How long do you think it will go on? It will not be minutes, it will not be hours or days. It will be weeks and months. They will torture till you beg for death but stop before you are. Then heal you just enough so that they can continue, never stopping until you are naught but a broken shell." he says angrily. "Just tell them." he says almost pleading and then walks out of the room unable to bear the torture chamber any longer.
Good cop bad cop usually works well on most.
