| MitzaVolchenko06-27-07, 06:36 PM | This is a campaign for Graashnak Vruuurk (Rauul), Garet Jax (NiQil), and Valanthe Valassar (Sjiggie). Please do not post here without prior permission. If you have coments or concerns, please send them via PM. Campaign Rules I expect posts every day or two. I request that each of you send me a set of generalized default tactics should you for some reason be unavailable to participate in a given encounter. At need and request, I am willing to NPC a character if a prolonged absence is necessary. I will not NPC for more than three weeks. Keep in mind that this a campaign, not an arena fight. There may be traps, social situations, etc. I have a total of 12 mandatory encounters and 8 that are optional (of course it is possible you may find some that I don't have planned or miss some that I do have planned). I am available via PM and IM for questions. If it works for everyone, I may run combats via IM or IRC. Encounter 1: 1 4th level Barbarian Ogre, 2 Doppleganger F2's E1: +1667xp E1: +1500xp E1: +1667xp This section is for campaign only use treasure and undivided spoils. |

He travels where the winds take him, with or without purpose. He is always on the lookout for the next challenge. The Early Years Garet grew up as a part of several small elven communities that made their homes in the foothills of a small mountain range. His own family often travelled between the communities, most often in response to a request for his father's hand at a job. His father was a successful blacksmith/armorsmith/weaponsmith, while his mother was a bowyer and fletcher. They had their own small family business, but often travelled to the surrounding communities when there was a need. Garet spent much of his early years either in the forge, or travelling to and fro. He learned the family trade, and soon became quite proficient himself. He probably would have eventually taken it over, were it not for the constant need to prove himself. He was always seeking a new challenge. Whether it was wrestling with other kids his age, or archery tests, or tracking small game, Garet had a drive to prove himself the best. Garet's life was peaceful and happy for the most part, although he became complacent and bored as he grew older. To put it bluntly, he had met every challenge he could meet in his homeland. He began to travel farther and farther afield, staying away from home more and more. He used the skills he had learned as an adolescent and perfected them in the surrounding mountains and lower plains. He would often stay away for weeks at a time, just to prove to himself that he could. He would meet travelers on his forays, and would hear stories of other portions of the world he had never seen. He would trade his expertise for the ability to learn new things, and lended aid where he could. He even helped an old goldhunter birth a camel he had brought with him, and was rewarded with an infant camel of his own. He raised it the best way he new how, and it soon became is closest companion. However, not really knowing much about camels, he raised him in the manner with which he was familiar, being that of a horse. As such, the camel is camel in name only, while acting like he could charge into combat or prance in a parade with equal ease. This has caused Garet no end of amusement, as well as a fair share of trouble. The Present Garet, now a young adult, has left home permanently with his friend Ildatch and is now seeking out new challenges in the world. He has not found anything that he has not been able to overcome as of yet, but he keeps looking. He is now an accomplished archer and fighter, as well as a woodsman of some renown. He makes his way as a guide to the uninitiated, or as a bounty hunter to the victimized. He has found himself in the city of Gladius, where it is said all manner of tests await those strong enough to bear their weight... |

| MitzaVolchenko06-27-07, 07:18 PM | *Posted on the tavern wall by a small humanoid draped in black veils...for the illiterate among the denizens of Gladius, a small cantrip causes the parchment to read itself upon being studied* Seeking individuals to fulfill a contract. Some travel required. Must agree to being bonded with a reputable agency. Risks include loss of life and/or limb. Recompense comensurate with degree of successful completion of contract. Hazard pay a possibility. Must be able to follow instructions. Contact Mssrs. Grogan, Grogan and Vertix. |
| MitzaVolchenko06-27-07, 07:24 PM | As you make your way into a street of solicitors in Central Gladius, you each ask directions to the office of Mssrs. Grogan, Grogan, and Vertix. After some twisting and turning you all make your way to a once magnificent building, now facing into a dingy alleyway. It appears that the tenement that faces the main thoroughfare was built after the office building on what may have been a luxurious private green. Cracks in the building's facade shows that it has been maintained in less than grand fashion. A small tarnished brass plate on the door confirms that this is the right place. Upon entering into the foyer, a harried looking dwarf matron shoos you into a sitting room. The furnishings are shabby, but were once expensive and fashionable. Everything is clean if threadbare. You may go ahead and describe/introduce yourselves :) |
| Rauul06-27-07, 07:33 PM | Entering the old building a Half-orc dressed in a mithral breastplate, a Blacksmiths apron, and well worn leather boots, with a Bow and Quiver on his back and a Crystal axe with a blade on each end in his arms Announces "I am Graashnak Vruuurk, and the piece of paper said you wanted Warriors!" Looking around the room for either Drinks or others. |
| NiQil06-27-07, 08:53 PM | A hooded elf, leaning against the wall nearby, sighs contemptuously. "It would appear they managed to find someone more uncouth than Ildatch," he mutters under his breath. The elf, upon further examination, appears armed to the teeth, carrying not one, but three, twin-bladed swords, along with a pair of bows and assorted quivers. A large pack sits on the floor near him, looking as if it is stuffed to the gills. A mithral chain shirt, dulled with earthtones, adorns the elf, along with various other trinkets. A shoufa conceals his head and facial features, leaving only his eyes clearly visible. "Graashnak, you say? I am Garet. Garet Jax." He extends his hand to the orc, stepping forward. Though he is covered in weaponry, he makes hardly a sound as he almost glides across the floor. |
| Rauul06-27-07, 09:32 PM | Graashnak Answers as he looks the Elf up and down "The Paper said they needed warriors Elf, I think you in the wrong place, the red light house is down the road." he laughs. As his hands tighten up on the axe. "Your name is Garet Jax, you say, good to know when add your name to the string" Graashnak saids with a grin |
| NiQil06-27-07, 10:31 PM | "And here I thought you might have more manners than your four-legged siblings. How silly of me. But allow me to get you a chair. I know you must have strained yourself, what with speaking two full sentences and all. You didn't injure yourself, did you? I wouldn't want that on my conscience. As it is, it appears that you must have exhausted your vocabulary for the rest of the week. But rest assured, I will make sure that your pointing and grunting is understood by our prospective employers." Geesh...at the rate we are going, we may not make it out of this room. |
| Sjiggie06-28-07, 04:26 AM | While he heared the heated words of Graashnak and Garet a man steps into the chamber. Dressed in black and orange robes with a Mithrill chain shirt over it and a greatsword slung across his back. My name is Valanthe Valassar, a paladin of Pholtus and warrior of the mind. He walks to Graashnak and extends his hand You must be Graashnak, I've heard a lot about you in my short time in Gladius. Always looking to pick a fight with the elves but forgetting that not all elves are the same just like our humans the elves have lot of different personalities what can't be said about the savage orcs who raised you. |
| Rauul06-28-07, 01:28 PM | Turning towards Valassar but keeping Jax in plain sight "Well met Paladin Valassar, Welcome." "Before you Judge me or my family maybe you should know that my father was murdered before my eyes by the Savage Elves and they didn't have dark skin. I was raised as a Human by my mother after his death at the hands of Elves, just because he was an orc, Not a Great warrior, or a murderer or a Savage but a Farmer who fell in love with a Human and tried to settle down and have a family." Graashnak Saids Graashnak Continues "But I have learned to not judge others, I Judge each person as I myself would like to be Judged as a person. One thing living with the Warfare Alliance has taught me.. and Gwar Specific is that patience is Important and to pick one's own battles" Graashnak turns to Stare Jax in the eyes "Prove to me your not a Sneaky savage who kills those who are different, and not like your Brethern who come in the dark and kill fathers just because they are orcs, Or prove that your all the same murdering Scum!" Gawd this is the most fun i have had in coco.. I love to RP and Graashnak is pure RP... NiQil this is fun! |
| MitzaVolchenko06-28-07, 04:19 PM | "Grrmpha...Excuse me, Helen informs me that you are all here about the job," an ancient dwarf appears out of nowhere between Graashnak and Garet and clears his throat. The dwarf is dressed in an ermine robe with a very heavy beaten gold belt stamped with dragons in all poses. Upon his shoulder is curled and sleeping the tiniest gold dragon any of you have heard of, much less seen. You would take it for a wyrmling, but it appears to be fully formed and its scales glow as the scales of a far older dragon. Upon one hand is a gold ring with a ruby the size of Grasshnak's eye set in it, on the other is a thick golden band that has dragons worked into it and extends with a joint like a gauntlet to cover two knuckles. About his throat hangs a piece of very clear reddish amber the size of Graashnak's fist. His eyes are a deep yellow color and peer at you from beneath bushy silver eyeborws. "I am Grogan the Elder. My son will be along shortly. Please do be seated and at your ease." With a wave of his hand a large, well padded stool appears behind him and he eases himself down onto it. |
| Rauul06-28-07, 04:53 PM | Graashnak takes a seat so that he can keep an eye on Jax as he watches the dragon on the dwarf's shoulder... He very well remembers the 2 weeks he spent in the forge and in front of the Fireplace after his last encounter with 2 tiny dragons that froze him with their breathe "Well met Grogan the Elder, Aye I'm here for the Job, Sybil and Gwar said i need to get out and experience the world and see if all Elves are the same" Graashnak saids as he stares at Jax |
| Sjiggie06-28-07, 06:25 PM | I didn't say that all elves are nice people who don't hurt others all I wanted to say is that not every elf is the same like you are trying to say. I even know that not all orcs are bad people they just have established an image of themselves as savage brutes. I would love to see you prove the difference but you don't start well with it by saying that you want Garet's ears on your necklace. We'll see how it works out but let us focus on why we're here. --------------------- Valanthe turns his attention to Grogan as he takes a seat. Thank you Grogan for you welcome here. I'm Valanthe Valassar a paladin of Pholthus and a warrior of the mind. How may I be of your assistence? |
| MitzaVolchenko06-28-07, 07:05 PM | "We need a package retrieved from my uncle," the newcomer enters through the foyer door. He is a dwarf in his prime wearing a simple suit of dark clothing. His reddish blonde beard is trimmed shorter than is usual for dwarves, and he wears no jewelry, nor does he show any sign of being armed. "I am Grogan Grogansson, or Grogan the Younger as humans prefer to state it." There is something slightly oily feeling about the younger dwarf and he moves with an uncharacteristic silence and grace to stand behind his father. The tiny dragon opens its eyes, which swirl a deep molten gold and regards the younger dwarf for a moment before turninghis eyes to focus one each of you. You get a feeling that your very soul is being weighed and measured by the tiny beast. Grogan the Elder inclines his head ot his son. "He speaks truth. My brother has very important package for us. Normally he would simply send it with a caravan, but this is somewhat more urgent. The next caravan won't head this way for another six moons. A fast travelling group could get there and back in far less time." "Father, perhaps we should know a bit more of hte qualifications of our potential couriers before disclosing more...the last lot did not have what it takes to make the journey," the younger dwarf eyes Grasshnak and Garet warily. "Elves and halfbreeds are not generally the most reliable of sorts." |
| NiQil06-28-07, 10:16 PM | "Qualifications? Methinks the only qualification I need is to have showed up in response to your ad. If you were in a position to be picky, methinks you would have been more discreet. But if you really feel that a man's business is your business, then I will tell you that I am an accomplished tracker and hunter. I can hunt anything from swine in the heavy bush," Garet says with a sidelong glance at the orc, "to dragons in their lairs. Boasting though it may sound, I invite you to put it to the test, should you have doubts." Garet glances over at the orc and the human and shrugs. "I can probably tell you their strengths as well. Our uncouth friend over there is probably an accomplished bladesman, though apparantly he has not learned the gentlemanly side of combat as of yet. And the other professes to be a paladin....that really says all you need to know about him, yes? So lets stop the squawking and get down to it." Garet continues to mutter under his breath as he shakes his head in impatience. |
| Rauul06-28-07, 10:45 PM | Graashnak grins a Toothy grin "Being a member of the Warfare Alliance Should be enough but if you need to know you can check the Arena for my record, As for what I can do with 'Skullaxe', My Necklace speaks for it's self. But if you wish to test me, Then Show me the color of your gold and who you want dead, the pointier the ears the better." |
| MitzaVolchenko06-29-07, 09:54 AM | "Enough. The elf is correct. We haven't the time to be too picky. Grun will refuse to hand over the package if the guardians seem incapable of keeping it safe," Grogan the Elder looks very tired. "If The Agency will license and bond them, we shall use them." "As you wish, Father," the decision clearly doesn't sit well with the younger dwarf, but he raises no further objections. "Helen will give you directions to The Agency. Go there, return swiftly with proof of your bond. I shall see that everything else is in readiness while you are away." |
| Rauul06-29-07, 03:42 PM | Graashnak gets up and opens the door holding it open for Jax and Valanthe "After you Gents!" he saids So sarcastically you can cut it with a knife and keeping Jax Clearly in his sight |
| Sjiggie06-29-07, 03:56 PM | Well thank you Graashnak a polite manner you don't get to see from half-orcs very often even if their intentions aren't as clear as they look. Turning towards the Grogans before he steps through the door. Just make sure you have everything ready when we return it shouldn't take long |
| MitzaVolchenko06-29-07, 04:31 PM | As you are leaving Helen, the receptionist, hands Valanthe a slip of parchment with an address on it and a letter of introduction written neatly scribed common script: Graashnak Vruuurk, Garet Jax, and Valanthe Valassar are to be examined for worthiness and placed under bond to the service of Mssrs. Grogan, Grogan, and Vertix forthwith. Payment may be taken from escrow account four. Should they be found unworthy of bond, usual measures are to be applied and payment taken from escrow account two. Special attention to ability with regards to enocunter type three should be taken. Mr. Vruuuk will also need checking for infestation types two, five, and seven. Regards, Mssr. Vertix Helen instructs you to go to the address and give them the letter then follow instructions and return. |
| Sjiggie06-29-07, 05:10 PM | Valanthe takes the note from Helen and relays the information on it to the rest. Thank you miss, I hope the adress is easy to find otherwise Mr. Jax will have some work here. Oh mr. Vruuurk I hope you pay some attention to personal hygiëne and pass those infestation tests or we will have a very short adventure. I suggest that Mr. Jax takes point with me following him and Mr. Vruuurk closing the line? Everybody agrees? |
| Rauul06-29-07, 07:24 PM | Graashnak lets out a bellow and slaps the Valanthe on the back (extra hard) "You should pay attention to your own hygiene with all the arse kissing you do Paladin!" "I agree that the Elf should take point, that way I can keep an eye on him and you." Graashnak agrees "As for what ever infections they think i may have.. I am sure the Alcohol has cleaned my system several times, you should try it, I am sure your God wouldn't mind you getting drunk with real Warriors and not just little boys!" Graashnak laughs |
| NiQil06-29-07, 08:44 PM | Garet, an amused half-smile on his face, draws one of his bows, nocks an arrow, and puts a whistle to his mouth, blowing into it. It produces a high-pitched, almost inaubible sound. He stands in place for a moment, and then grins widely as a camel trots up to the group, coming to a stop at Garet's outstretched hand. "Figured now would be a good time to introduce my traveling companion. This is Ildatch. She'll be coming along. She's my packhorse." As he scratches idly behind her left ear, Garet begins checking the buckles and straps on the various belongings strapped to her back. He motions to the camel, "Feel free to add on anything you can't carry. There isn't much she can't carry." At closer examination, you will notice a variety of traveling supplies, as well as a plethora of arrow quivers strapped all over her. After assuring himself that things are in order, Garet motions for the camel to follow as he proceeds forward. |
| MitzaVolchenko06-30-07, 12:42 AM | Garet checks the address and leads the group off past the arena to an area housing vendors, trainers and arena workers, and few priveleged people. Not more than five blocks from WAR's headquarters, the group arrives at a solid iron gate. The property appears to be have a walled courtyard, and one story of grey stone is visible beyond the wall. The roof is of slate, and there are only a few arrow slits with horizontal bars showing. There is no sign to indicate what lies beyond the wall and gate. There is a rope trailing out of a small channel in the stone to the right of the gate, and a small hatch in the gate itself which is currently closed. |
| Rauul06-30-07, 08:20 PM | Graashnak eyes the Camel and continues on the way, When arriving at the estate, he grips his Axe hard, and and waits to see what Jax is going to do with the camel and what the paladin is going to do.. Graashnak isn't happy and is being very very cautious. |
| NiQil07-01-07, 12:26 AM | Garet, dissappointed that he has to go to another urban home, stows his bow and arrow. He directs Illdatch to stand to one side of the gate, with the command to alert him if there is any danger and then to flee. He then looses an adamantine two-bladed sword from his pack, holds it lightly and turns to the others. "Shall we knock, or should we let ourselves in?" As a side note, the camel's default tactics are to flee if in danger. He is built as a non-combatant, and will only fight if he cannot flee and he is fighting for his own life. |
| MitzaVolchenko07-01-07, 09:19 AM | Noted on the camel...shouldn't be a problem. The rope to the right of the gate appears to be a bell pull. |
| Sjiggie07-01-07, 07:20 PM | Let ring the bell and see what happens. If you don't feel comfortable about the situation I can scan the area on evil auras Valanthe lets the other decide and will perform a detect evil if the other want it. |
| NiQil07-01-07, 07:50 PM | Garet, smirking slightly, reaches over and pulls the bellstring. Liking the sound, he pulls it again for good measure. |
| MitzaVolchenko07-01-07, 11:21 PM | The small hatch inthe door opens and a visored face appears. "State your business." |
| NiQil07-01-07, 11:30 PM | Garet, now not smiling at all, motion for the paladin to respond. |
| Sjiggie07-02-07, 07:11 AM | Valanthe steps forward and grabs the note from the Gorgans. Good day sir, we are sent here by Gorgan the Elder to be examined for worthiness and placed under bond to the service of Mssrs. Grogan, Grogan, and Vertix. Valanthe shows holds the note before the hatch in the door so that the man on the other side can read it. |
| Rauul07-02-07, 08:24 AM | Graashnak stands there impatiently waiting for the Dwarf to open the door and get on with the business at hand |
| MitzaVolchenko07-02-07, 11:11 AM | "Hrmph. I suppose we can do one more today. Stand back." The gate swings slowly open to reval, not a dwarf, but a half-giant on the other side wearing Adamantine Full-Plate and a very fancy helm. He bristles with weapons of many sizes and descriptions. Once the gate is open wide enough to accomodate Graashnak he holds his hand out for the paper and motions them inside. The yard looks like a sand exercise yard with a small gazebo in the middle, perhaps for an instructor to remain shaded while watching exercises. The half giant waves the trio off to the left and grunts something along the lines of 'stand over there' and 'soon' before he strides across the yard and through a narrow doorway into the building. |
| Sjiggie07-02-07, 08:05 PM | Valanthe gives the half-giant the note and goes to the place on the courtyard where the half-giant points them. Not the welcome I've expected we'll see what we have to do says Valanthe to the others when the half-giant enters the builing across the yard. |
| Rauul07-02-07, 08:27 PM | Definitely not liking this one bit, Graashnak Prepares to Manifest Biofeedback if attacked, and is on his guard.. Graashnak saids in a hushed voice "Be on your ready Elf.. I fear it isn't me you have to fear today" It is one thing to not trust the elf... and quite another to trust an employer who doesn't trust me.. |
| NiQil07-02-07, 10:22 PM | Garet, his smirk returning, also prepares for violence. Ready an action to attack anything that shows violence against any of us |
| MitzaVolchenko07-02-07, 11:18 PM | Two humans emerge from the building flanking an armed and armored ogre who does not look at all happy. |
| MitzaVolchenko07-03-07, 02:24 PM | The ogre does a few stretches and swings its great club back and forth a couple of times as the humans move to either side giving it some room. A voice from nowhere says "Combat readiness exercise begins in ten seconds." |
| Rauul07-03-07, 10:54 PM | Graashnak draws his Dorje of force screen and activates it on himself, and puts it away, after he does his readied action of biofeedback, Spends a free action and charges the deep crystal, and starts to move around the edge hoping to gain flanking with either Jax or Valanthe, First strike release focus for psionic weapon.. |
| Sjiggie07-03-07, 11:05 PM | What is this, I demand an explanation for this situation. Is this the test that should prove our worthiness? What inhuman kind of test is it then! Angered grabs Valanthe a stone of enlarged entangling ectoplasm. Use stone of entangling ectoplasm on one of the humans to slow it down. Manifest Force Screen from memory and draw greatsword. With my greater speed then the rest try to set up for a flanking position and attack in melee. When flanking expend focus for psionic weapon |
| NiQil07-04-07, 12:04 AM | Garet, in what is sure to be considered odd by those around him, begins to laugh. He points at the humans. "You two planning on joining the fun, or did you want to back away out of the range of my blades?" On my first action, advance to the ogre and try to set myself in a triangle-ish setup with the other two. Flanking is welcome if I can get it, but letting the other two have it is more important than me taking it. If I can full attack, do so with TWF, otherwise stick the pointy end of the blade in him two-handed. Also keep an eye out to see what the humans do. |
| MitzaVolchenko07-18-07, 12:46 AM | The trio splits up and starts to maneuver against their three opponents. The two 'humans' seem surprised to have been targeted and slip from their guise forms into the more nondescript blankness of their true doppleganger forms. Init: Ogre=17 DopI=13 DopII=12 Graashnak=10 Garet=5 Valanthe=2 Readying round: Graashank activates Force Screen and stows dorje moving away from his companions to get some fighting space. Garet moves toward the ogre and sets himself into a light and ready stance, keeping an eye on the 'humans. Valanthe manifests force screen from memory and holds his dorje of ecto in one hand greatsword in the other also moving to spread out the targets. Round 1: The Ogre takes half a second to determine which target looks the toughest, ignoring Garet as a puny elf and charges through Garet's threatened space to swing on Graashnak. Garet takes his AoO caught off guard by the ogre's bold and prideful disregard for him striking a blow which bites into the ogre's side and draws first blood. The ogre completes its rush on Grasshnak and brings its club crashing down on Graashnak's skull. Both humans loiter watching the fight and trying to seem harmless as they attempt to circle around the trio. Graashnak enraged takes a full attack on the ogre cutting deeply and enforcing his will intot he wound with the first swing and missing barely with the second. Garet pivots ignoring the humans for now and executes a full attack flurry of whirling attacks onteh ogre, hitting only once but taking the ogre's immediate attention. Valanthe sends ectoplasm hurling at one of the humans who looks surprised that anyone noticed their activities. The ectoplasm spreadsout and entangles the 'human' whose form ripples and returns to its more amorphous true seeming. Ogre=17 (-33HP) DopI=13 entangled DopII=12 Graashnak=10 (-23HP) Garet=5 Valanthe=2 Round 2: The ogre whirls and attempts to bash Garet's skull in, bringing his great club brutally down on the elf's head. The entangled doppleganger staggers trying to move out of hte entanglement. The second doppleganger charges at Valanthe but fails to connect. Graashnak whirls his axe cutting down the ogre's back. Garet swears under his breath and continues his deadly dance of blades. Valanthe swings on the doppleganger but misses as he is distracted by his companions state. Ogre=17 (-62HP) DopI=13 DopII=12 Graashnak=10 (-23HP) Garet=5 (-25HP) Valanthe=2 Round 3: The ogre withdraws avoiding AoO's. The entangled doppleganger tries pitifully to rush toward Valanthe. The unentangled doppleganger attacks Valanthe slamming him. Graashank rather mindless of his wounds charges after the ogre hitting it two handed with one blade of his axe. Garet spares a glance toward Valanteh but seeing the paladin relatively unharmed charges after the ogre as well but fails to connect. Valanthe slashes viciously at the nearest doppleganger Ogre=17 (-71HP) DopI=13 entangled DopII=12 (-9HP) Graashnak=10 (-23HP) Garet=5 (-25HP) Valanthe=2 (-6HP) Round 4 The ogre takes a 5' step away from the two and draws a potion. The entangled doppleganger continues to move slowly toward Valanthe. The unentangled doppleganger attacks Valanthe, but misses. Graashnak takes a 5' step and attacks the ogre connecting with one of his blows. Garet takes a 5' step and full attacks connecting once and dropping the ogre to the ground, its potion bottle rolling away unbroken in the soft sand of the practice yard. The dopplegangers throw up their hands in surrender seeing the champion go down. Ogre=17 (-85HP) DopI=13 entangled DopII=12 (-9HP) Graashnak=10 (-23HP) Garet=5 (-25HP) Valanthe=2 (-6HP) After a brief and brutal fight that leaves both Garet and Graashank hurting and Valanthe lightly wounded, the trio look at the cowering Dopplegangers and the bleeding out ogre warily. The pre-fight bluster seems to have faded from the half-orc and the elf a bit. "Please stand down to allow the healer to attend to Borax,"The voice from nowhere is now embodied in a human wearing a black robe with a rather well used scimitar at his hip. The door to the building opens again and two ogres with a stretcher accompanied by a frazzled looking half elf in a grey robe emerge. "Follow me, please. We will need to check the half orc for parasites and of course bandage up those scratches. Then there will be the usual background forms...a scribe will be assigned for any who cannot write for themselves." Apologies for the delay. I was hoping that Rauul would be back online sooner. He is well and finally getting the doctors at the VA to take care of him...remains to be seen if he will actually obey doctors' orders, but either way, I finally heard from him :) He should be back to insult Garet in another day or so. We are going to move on and he can catch up. |
| Sjiggie07-18-07, 07:03 AM | I still want an explanation about this. What we just did was not a test of skills but a mere arenamatch where we're forced to fight eachother. I presume this was the last time we have to do such tests? Valanthe speaks on a bit angry tone while he follows the man. |
| MitzaVolchenko07-18-07, 11:04 AM | The man's left hand slips unconsciously to his rapier hilt and his right half raises with fingers spread wide before he halts the actions and shrugs. "You must be found worthy of bond if you wish to work for Mssrs. Grogan, Grogan, and Vertix. We will not bond anyone that cannot deal with simple distractions. The remainder of your tests should be inobtrusive enough." The man's eyes travel over Garet and Graashnak. "You might wish to show less pride and more concern for the condition of your companions. There is a healer within that will see to their injuries." Graashnak looking like he might rather marry an elf than go inside sets his jaw stubbornly and meets the human's gaze. Something that he sees there causes him to sling his double axe across his back and nod slowly. "Lets get this over with. We still in the Nimbus, for now. Better you check elf for worms. I kill mine with good ale." Each of you open your own roller page in the CoCo Dice Roller, please. You will use these for skill checks whenever you wish to apply a skill outside of combat. Just label the roll with what it is for. |
| NiQil07-18-07, 09:01 PM | Garet smirks at the half-orc, "At least now we know where the bad breath comes from. When you figure out that foot fungus, let us know." He turns lightly, stowing his blade and heading towards the location of the healers. |
| MitzaVolchenko07-19-07, 12:58 AM | The man leads the three of you into a stark entry way and immediately veers to the right through a heavy curtain. You pass through the curtain into a broad square room with several benches arranged facing a podium. He gestures for you all to be seated and then moves to the podium lighting a mage light on his hand as he goes. |
| Sjiggie07-19-07, 08:17 AM | Valanthe checks the room as he sits down. "Are their guards and how many? Where are the nearest exits?" He takes a seat where he has a good view of the room and to the man on stage. As the others sit down he whispers to Garet I wonder what the meaning of this is |
| MitzaVolchenko07-19-07, 02:52 PM | The man looks directly at Valanthe meeting his gaze steadily and smiles in a way one might imagine a dragon smiling at dinner. "The meaning of all of this is that some who hire riff raff such as yourselves for their unusual skills are wise enough to recognize that certain insurance steps are necessary." A pair of neutrally dressed elves in pale yellow robes enter from the curtained doorway and within moments the party's wounds begin to seal and the rends in equipment follow the knitting flesh. |
| Rauul07-19-07, 07:23 PM | Graashnak Bellows at the Elf "Only fungus on my feet is from kicking Elven arse!" "Lets get this overwith!" as Graashnak pulls down his draws and lets out a loud Ale brewing fart! yea i am in NY and have dr appointments for the next 6 months 3 times a week.. Sorry for the delay.. as for me listening to Dr's orders... I think Mitza needs not talk about that.. if we ever get a chance to shot.. a few items that Graashnak needs to stock up on.. Wand of CLW's, Powerstones of dissolving weapon.. as well as various other powerstones, and Djore of vigor.. |
| Sjiggie07-19-07, 07:31 PM | Valanthe locks his gaze upon the man and tells him. I know that we're here to be tested of our skills but the way we were tested doesn't appeal to me. But if that is the way you want to play go ahead. I thank you for the healing provided to us but if I knew what that the test looked like this I would have objected. Can you tell me what kind of tests we can espect our are we finished now? |
| NiQil07-19-07, 10:13 PM | "If it's tests you want, then lets get on with it. Time is money." |
| MitzaVolchenko07-20-07, 02:31 PM | "Time is money, but not in this case yours. As to you good paladin..." the man barely avoids a sneer as he pauses significantly before continuing."Tests come in all sizes and shapes. Your final evaluation for the combat readiness exercise is on its way to Mssrs. Grogan, Grogan and Vertix as we speak." "Now we test your veracity. Each ofyou must name one thing you fear. A lie will cost you this contract and the right to ever be bonded with this company. A joke will cost you the contract and make me rather cross with you. It has been a long day, and were it not for a favor owed Mssr. Vertix, this would have waited 'til the morrow." He means what he says. A DC 0 Sense Motive will tell you he is absolutely serious. If you wish to lie when presenting your fear, you will have to make a roll for Bluff, otherwise it is rp and probably will saves :) Welcome back, hon...and no tu quoque arguments. |
| Rauul07-20-07, 02:48 PM | Graashnak is taken back a little... and ponders what he fears the most... "My one and Only true fear.. is to Die without finding true Happiness, is why i volunteered for the mission to maybe find what is missing in my life" Graashnak saids with 100% honesty no will save needed... is 100% honest.. and isn't even a smart a$$ joke of his... he knows that Killing elves make him happy on the revenge side.. but it isn't true happyness... maybe parting with an elf will make him see a bigger picture... but his hatred for elves will always be there :) yea i am doing what the doc ordered... are you!!! |
| Sjiggie07-20-07, 03:10 PM | Why must I tell you my fears! "Never let anybody know what you or they will use it against you when you don't expect it" That is what my mentor always said to me so unless you give me a good reason I won't tell you. Sense Motive check: 1d20+3=9 (http://www.hwx.it/wizards.com/dice.php?sid=1727#68653) |
| MitzaVolchenko07-20-07, 03:38 PM | "I am not here to prove our methods to you, paladin...rather quite the opposite." As he meets Valanthe's gaze steadily, Valanthe feels a not unpleasant warmth around him. He finds himself unwilling to look away from the man's gaze and feels himself thinking about some simple moment of safety and pleasure from his past. Give me a will save in your personal roller page :) |
| Sjiggie07-20-07, 03:41 PM | Sinking back into the pleasent moments Valanthe spend in the garden with his younger sister and brother he quickly snaps out of it again. Will Save: 1d20+9=26 (http://www.hwx.it/wizards.com/dice.php?sid=1727#68654) |
| NiQil07-20-07, 08:48 PM | "A fear, eh? Well, I make no secret of my fear. I fear to go back to being that little dumb, naive, back country elfling who knew nothing about the world. I fear not being able to live my life the way I want to live it, with no strings or attachments that I have not chosen. In short, I fear the loss of my freedom, in all of it's many forms." Garet looks sidelong at the paladin, "C'mon Val....we showed you ours, time to show us yours." |
| Rauul07-20-07, 09:00 PM | Graashnak looks at Garet and grins "Always knew you was a country bumpkin.. did you raise radishes as well?" couldn't resist niqil... i tried..just couldn't... am laffing so hard i am crying.... thanks i needed that |
| NiQil07-20-07, 09:25 PM | "Radishes? No...we raised cattle. But at least we didn't try to mate with them like some of your bretheren." Garet smirks again, before settling into his now-familiar cold stare. |
| Sjiggie07-21-07, 06:34 AM | I'm sorry Garet, Graashnak but I can't tell you me fears not here, not now because what I fear the most is that my enemies or people who turn against me use that fear against me. Valanthe looks at them both with a honest look in his eyes. |
| MitzaVolchenko07-21-07, 09:16 AM | "So you fear your own weakness," the man's smile widens slightly. "Good for you to admit...breaking your resolve would have been a shame." One of the clerics attending to their wounds reaches out and yanks a nose hair from Graashnak and dimensionally steps away before the half-orc can react. Carefully, he adds the somewhat slimey hair to a green phial and swishes it observing the color change to black. "He is not entirely clean, but does not fall out of the acceptable range, sir." The man nods and holds his hand out flat to accomodate the heavy slate with a piece of parchment and a quill with an empty ink well upon it. Deftly the man uses the sharpened quill to slice his thumb open and drips a few drops of his blood into the ink well before stepping from the podium and up to Valanthe. "Each of you add three drops of your blood to the well please. Then we can sign this and you can be on your way." |
| Rauul07-21-07, 10:57 AM | Graashnak growls at the cleric "You could of asked.. you EVER touch me without asking again you better pray to your god that i don't cut you down the middle and use you for elf bait!" Graashnak turns towards the man and bellows "You want 3 drops of my blood, go get it off the ground from your orge, you want my Signature that i can give... may even write it in the blood of your Cleric, But until you tell my friends exactly what the blood is for.. My people are not known with our patience, and mine is about as thin as you can get" |
| Rauul07-21-07, 11:04 AM | Graashnak turns to Garet and saids " Yanno your not a half bad person once you get past those pointed ears, At least you have a sence of humor and didn't try to kill me like the rest of your race has." as he slaps Garet on the back :D |
| Rauul07-21-07, 11:25 AM | Graashnak turns to Valanthe and smiles "fear not that i will use your fear against you if it ever comes that we will come to blows, Fore unlike Elves who use fear. i Use my axe!" |
| Sjiggie07-21-07, 06:08 PM | Only to get out of here as fast as I can I will add my drops of blood. Now let's sign this and get out of here alright. Valanthe makes a smal cut in the top of his index finger and drops 3 blooddrops in the inkt. Turning his head towards Graashnak I believe you Graashnak and as I get to know you, you don't seem like a person that would turn on me. But I don't trust them if you really want to know ou have to ask me it again later for know they know enough. |
| MitzaVolchenko07-21-07, 07:33 PM | "If you wish to continue, sir, you will submit three drops of your blood to make the bond. If you do not, you are free to go at any time. The blood must be freely given and mixed." |
| NiQil07-21-07, 07:55 PM | Garet, cold stare directed at the speaker, reaches back and draws his adamantine two-bladed sword. Maintaining his stare into the man's eyes, he reaches down and draws his palm along the blade, dripping into the well quite a bit more than three drops. "Blood given, blood owed," he vows quietly. He then leans forward with the newly-blooded blade, takes a cloth from the cleric, and wipes both his blade and his hand before dropping it on the table in a challenging fashion. He then stands, blade bared, staring blankly at the speaker. |
| Rauul07-21-07, 10:49 PM | "Well if the Elf can do it... So can I!" Graashnak bellows Graashnak runs his thumb across his axe and draws blood, dropping 3 drops of blood into the well. "Just know if you use my friends blood and my blood against us, you will have no place to hide that i won't hunt you down and add your ears to my necklace!" Graashnak saids as he stares without blinking at the man. |
| MitzaVolchenko07-23-07, 08:03 AM | The man raises an eyebrow and smiles then takes the ink well and stirs it lightly with the quill murmuring until there is a flash of white light and a slight whiff of ozone. He scrawls his signature at the bottom of the parchment and passes the quill on. "Oaths are all well and good, but bonds are more reliable for our clients." Assuming nobody refuses to sign... As the last signature is added, the parchment duplicates itself three more times then lays inert looking like any other official document produced in quadruplicate. The man hands each of you a copy and then motions for a servant to show you the way out. "If you fail your bond for any reason short of death, I shall hunt you down," he says pleasantly by way of parting. |
| Rauul07-23-07, 08:12 AM | Graashnak bellows "I so hate that guy.. Guess we head back to the short dwarfs and get started, Garet, you and the Camel want to lead the way.. or shall I lead us to a bar first.. Could use a stiff drink!" |
| Sjiggie07-23-07, 09:10 AM | Valanthe rolls up the parchement and stows it in his backpack. Lets go back to the Grogans first and see what for task they have for us after the that I might want a drink all this nonsence gets me on my nerves. is Valanthe's response to Graashnak |
| NiQil07-24-07, 11:50 PM | Garet nods and proceeds back out the way he came, motioning for the others to follow. |
| MitzaVolchenko07-27-07, 08:24 PM | Garet and the camel lead the way back to the Grogan offices. As you reach a place about a block away you will see smoke rising from the alleyway that leads to the Grogans' offices. The street is practically empty. |
| NiQil07-27-07, 10:23 PM | Garet, now extremely alert, reaches over, taps Ildatch lightly and sends her off in the opposite direction. He then draws his bow, nocks an arrow, and proceeds forward cautiously, motioning the others to follow suit. Start readying actions to fire at anything that shows open hostility to us as we move forward |
| Sjiggie07-27-07, 10:26 PM | Valanthe follows Garet with care looking in alleyways and the roofs of the building for any sign of danger. Silently he draws his greatsword and let it rest in his hands ready to use. |
| MitzaVolchenko07-27-07, 10:49 PM | I need marching order and a Listen check DC 10 to determine probable number of adversaries. As the trio nears the alley turn in a series of loud bovine bellows echo out of the alleyway followed by another burst of smoke and a gout of flames that flickers past the end of the alleyway. More muffled the trio thinks they detect the sound of a dwarven battlecry. |
| NiQil07-27-07, 11:00 PM | I believe the marching order is Garet, Valanthe and then Graashnak. Anyone feel free to correct me if I am wrong, however. I believe this is going to be our default marching order, unless stated otherwise. I know Garet will be on point probably all the time. Listen check DC 10 = 18 (http://www.hwx.it/wizards.com/dice.php?sid=1754#69802) Also, as a suggestion, you may want to link each of our personal sessions in the roller for this campaign somewhere in the beginning of the thread...maybe with each character sheet or something...for ease of reference. |
| Rauul07-28-07, 02:20 AM | The marching order Works for me (sometimes being paranoid works) Graashnak listen check 11 (http://www.hwx.it/wizards.com/dice.php?sid=1756) |
| Sjiggie07-28-07, 07:46 AM | I'm fine with the marching order Valanthe listen: 1d20+8=22 (http://www.hwx.it/wizards.com/dice.php?sid=1727#69906) |
| MitzaVolchenko07-28-07, 12:49 PM | Will do some bookkeeping updates later today. For now Listen indicates 5 targets...all of them seem to be at the lease large as you can discern noises that indicate them jostling around each other. The alleyway is 15' wide or thereabouts with a few crates stacked at the entrance which may provide limited cover and possibly a bottleneck if you work it right and choose to do so. That is the marching order I have as well. I am going to post map using city map, but the city map conditions do not apply. This is the only segment that applies :) THe alley is solid on both sides with the exception of the Grogans' entrance and dead ends beyond their building. for our purposes their building is the balcony building side with the building running the entire hedged area. http://www.hwx.it/coco/coco.php;v=1;map=city;a=MI,L,8,29;b=MII, L,8,27;c=MIII,L,9,28;d=MIV,L,8,25;e=MV,L ,9,26;f=Gare,M,15,32;n=Effect,8,32,1;sty le=s |
| Rauul07-28-07, 01:41 PM | Graashnak bellows "Looks like the Skinflint Shorties may need a little help" As he pulls his bow and Dorje and gets ready to pepper them with Arrows Graashnak Starts by pulling his Dorje: Precognition, Offensive ML 1 and using it as he pulls his Bow.. Sounds like minotaurs.. and they have alot of hit points... Once they get closer, stash bow, draw Dorje: force screen, and axe.. and spend 1 pps and put up Bio feedback, save the other for Vigor to heal with.. |
| Sjiggie07-28-07, 08:28 PM | Let's even the odds against those monsters then. Suddenly Valanthe doubles in size without a warning and takes a defensive position at the corner of the alley. Manifest a 1pp +2 surged expansion and hides the display Enervation1d100=83 (http://www.hwx.it/wizards.com/dice.php?sid=1727#69981) Hide display 1d20+11=29 (http://www.hwx.it/wizards.com/dice.php?sid=1727#69982) vs DC 16 |
| Sjiggie08-02-07, 09:52 AM | I´m on vacation till the end of the week without internet feel free to NPC Valanthe when needed |
| Pitlords08-07-07, 03:02 AM | There doesn't seem to be any point in continuing this campaign. Six weeks with not one completed encounter is just not acceptable. I'm going to call it; the characters are free to return to the arena as of August 8. |
| Sjiggie08-07-07, 03:42 PM | What will happen to the xp we gained because we finished exactly 1 encouter and gave Valanthe enough xp to level to ECL6 |
| MindWandererB08-07-07, 08:02 PM | Mitza has posted the XP in the first post of this thread. Multiply that by the XP:GP ratio for your level to get the GP. If one of you can post the calculated rewards and expended items for each character, I'll make a Questlog post for it for you to link. |
| Sjiggie08-08-07, 01:03 PM | Here are the rewards for all of use plus any item's used by the character: Valanthe XP gained: 1667 GP gained: 1780 (rounded up otherwise 1778.19) Item's Used: 1 Stone of entangling Ectoplasm Graashnak XP gained: 1667 GP gained: 1780 (rounded up otherwise 1778.19) Item's Used: 1 charge from Dorje of Force Screen Garet: XP gained: 1500 GP gained: 1670 (rounded up otherwise 1666.65) Item's Used: None |
