Zhiyo Marizan's page

Zhiyo enters and gives a mild bow and introduces the others if they are here, "Hello, I am Zhiyo. I am going to the area where you were kept prisoner and so I would like to ask you about your experiences and for any advice you can give."

Assuming they respond amicably he asks about their visions, experiences, what they remember of the place such as layout, pictures, reliefs, carvings, statues, etc, and what they were doing when captured, and by what they were captured. He takes notes so he can reference later and show any of the others not here.

Sorry, I seem to have missed the update

Zhiyo will go speak with the rescued prisoners.

Zhiyo charges across after Crispin, but remains ready to run and hop off the side at any moment.

Zhiyo will ready his longspear and wait till someone tries to cross the gangplank, then he will drop onto the plank with a lightning hands. (First use of his 2/day feather fall charm)

15' cone of lightning: 2d4 ⇒ (3, 4) = 7

So I can't start shooting at 600', 10 increments out with a -20 penalty? To bad, was hoping to get a crit on the first shot, just cause that would be epic awesomeness.

Zhiyo moves up the rigging to take shots with his short bow. Just before getting to 60' he will cast shield on himself.
Atk 60': 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 181d6 ⇒ 6
Atk close: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 111d6 ⇒ 3

"Am I being overly paranoid to wonder if someone on that ship has something to do the storm behind that ship?"

Zhiyo preps for the arrival of the other ship.

"Other then telling fortunes? Mostly expanding my spell library. I still need to get few powerfull spells to take back home to be a fullfledged mastermage."

"And to think the first thing I tried to do was burn it." Zhiyo grabs a roll then follows after Morbak.

I'll take first.

Zhiyo looks quizzically for a moment then a flash of understanding sweeps his face and he goes back to memory lane.

"Nice breeze today. I hope we can get there before snow sets in. I love snow but it makes travel rather difficult. When I was young, we would have the battles where we threw balls of snow at each other all through town. The adults of would yell at us every time a stray snowball hit them it was fun. I remember one time when Gary got tackled just as he threw a snowball, and it went high right into the window of the house above us, and into the pie Mrs. Silvertail was making. She was not happy. We ran like never before." He recalls with a fair amount of humor.

You realize this means we will meet a bunch of spiders now right? cause Morbak is a spider magnet!"

"Very well."
Zhiyo awaits Sur'kil.

Awww, so do we share our profits with the ATA as well?

Nevermind on the skill points, I just forgot the house rules. Still will be putting on new format that I found and liked better though.

"Something had to be very powerful to have two black dragons serve guard duty, and thus whatever a really powerful person or group wants to guard that badly must be something powerful or dangerous. Thus to not be worried about that would be foolish."

Almost forgot, Had a recent clarification on learned sorcerer, the extra spell is an extra spell known that can be used with any spell slot, but I don't get any extra slots.

Do you want me to correct that and use it properly or to just continue as I have been?

Edit; still updating char I think I messed up skill points, so I am rebuilding in my excel sheet so it will be fixed and will look better when I repost.

"You had me at 'old ruins'" Zhiyo smiles amusedly.

Been out of things for a while, my apologies.

How is our tavern doing?

Sorry for taking so long, my computer broke and my phone didn't show that there were any updates to the old thread (Which it only sometimes shows updated for some reason).

Well there have been posts about how to make "proper" use of goblins in a very scary way. If I find it I will link it here for ya, you might enjoy it, though your players might hate me for suggesting it.

Wow, I am sorry for not checking this, I checked the gameplay but my campaign page never said this thread was updated so I didn't look.

I would like to game with you more, I like your GM style. I might try out for your game, not sure though, 8 games is a bit much, and I am tired of level 1-3 games.

Zhiyo takes up a spot right behind Morbak, and examines the pedestal when Morbak does as well.

Fire!
Assuming Morbak shares his knowledge of the orb, otherwise Zhiyo suggests being ready to attack.

"Cover you faces, the webs will burn fast and hard so be ready to sprint to the orb." Zhiyo uses burning hands to ignite the webs and sacks in the way and around the entrance.

Fort save: 1d20 ⇒ 17

Which is exactly what I meant and like.

I honestly don't mind the minor battles being quickened, Makes for greater focus on RP.

Zhiyo collects what info he can carry from the office and any keys or similar.
Fort save: 1d20 ⇒ 20

Zhiyo motions for the others to follow him down the stairs.

Zhiyo grabs Morbak by the ear and pulls him away from the door, "Everyone, give them a clear path to cover. If they want to run let them, besides we might want to save our energy for whatever they are running from."
CMB: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 20

Zhiyo gets the idea that the spiders are running away from something, and he is happy to let them so he grabs Morbak and drags him out from the door by the collar to give the spiders a clear path, "Morbak! They are running, let them. You need your strength to kill whatever they are running away from, and what ever that is must be a doozy. What do you hate vermin for anyway? They are big bugs, not evil or anything."

Zhiyo will be human form to make talking to them easier.
Zhiyo looks for who ever seems to be taking charge and if finding such a person will ask them what they know about whats going on.
Zhiyo is also listening to what he can hear from inside.
Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

"Well, well, what have these pirates been up to?" Zhiyo gives a yawn. "Well should go check it out or should we go back to sleep till the morning? As always I am for the former suggestion."

"Well, we can continue down the hole or we can move on. I vote for the hole myself. Unless you all feel tired already? Though, I would rather camp inside then out."

Zhiyo looks at the others for their response, while keeping an eye on the others nearby..

"Hmm, look at that, I barely had to do anything." mumbling more to himself then anyone else. Then he eyes the collapse more warily, sure that the spiders are probably not the last of the worries.

Zhiyo says just loud enough for the party to hear, "Lets back out and let the spiders flush them out, anyone left inside can be dealt with after they are done fighting each other, not to mention whatever the spiders are running from."

Zhiyo will stay at reach and try to cover the others what ever they choose.

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19

Atk if something is near: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13
dmg: 1d8 ⇒ 6

Zhiyo follows Morbak's thrust with a thrust from his own longspear,
Atk: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 20
Dmg: 1d8 ⇒ 2

"Morbak, you are not gonna make a habit out of this, are you?"

Zhiyo casts shield then takes a defensive position next to Morbak, ready to cover him with a longspear.

On phone sorry for no formatting.

"Burning Stables was my suggestion, and I suggest avoiding the seedy tavern of people who will likely try to kill us. Unless you want to open a chain of taverns?"

LOL above AND I finally caught the Mel Brooks thing LOL

It was because we lit the "stables" on fire, on our first visit and that event marked our arrival.

I had suggested "The Burning Stables" as a name for the tavern. And yes I'm thinking what you are thinking.

Zhiyo comes in just as the drunkard leaves, glancing behind him at the drunkard. He comes over to the table, "So what was up with him? He looked all out of sorts. Actually so do you. Getting into fights without me? I feel so completely left out now." he faces shows what you think is mock indignation and depression.

He yells over to the maid, "Some brownies please, with milk!" He looks back at the table "I hope they have good baker here, I love these treats but it is so hard to find someone who can make them right."

The tray comes with a few brownies and a glass of milk. He takes a bite and then a sip and almost chokes, "Well the brownies are fantastic but I have no idea what the milk came from. Not to bad though." The barmaid looks at Zhiyo as she passes, "It's pigs milk. Some of the best you'll find around these parts."

Zhiyo asks around about why so many farms are abandoned around here.

Yep I will be riding the light horse, her name? Skitty.
Dont ask way cause IDK.

"The main roads are the last to be hit, if we take out bandits hunting the back roads the will likely not ever get the chance to take the main road which is more likely to have caravan guards anyway."

Then for a tavern! Lets call it the "Burning Stables" or maybe the "Burning Outhouse" for laughs.

I agree, and would like the tavern idea but was under the impression the dragons were claiming the tavern. Hence Zhiyo's comment to carry on.

"I agree with Morbak, though plying our trade from the cart is great I think we should continue that between our bouts of anti-banditry."

We might do a similar idea. Leave the cave and lower area for the dragons, and the above area for travelers and locals to use as tavern, inn, and game rooms.

Why the prisoners?

I assume Kat is hinting at the other dragon and not us,(mostly because GM, understandably, doesn't want us to claim land yet too ;) )
