However, when mounted upon his trusty steed, "Foreman," and armored in his full plate - he is often a sight to behold. He inspires goodness in all around him and desires to do deeds in the name of Pelor. Sir Valkin is an accomplished horseman and for this reason has come to the arena - to prove that horseman will rule over those who stand normally. Sir Valkin is also in search of the precious ancient texts of Pelor. Although he has not found them yet, it is a search that he was asked to do by none other than his father, himself. With desires of meeting his father's quest, he only seeks to find it and earn his admiration. Some details: Father's name is Redgaven, a high priest of Pelor in Primethia. Searching for Silver Sun Edicts (ancient Pelorian text - They are described as being bound by silver plates and the pages are of the purest gold and platinum laced together) Buffs and Prefight actions: Bring Foreman (light warhorse) with his equipment. If Overseer has not been prebuffed - first action of the fight is to summon him. If he has already been used and is no longer available - Sir Valkin will ride on Foreman. In general, Sir Valkin desires to fight in melee and will work towards that end at most cost. If his opponent is flying however, he will settle to attacking with his bow and using his mount in order to aid him in staying alive. Sir Valkin prefers to charge into melee with his lance and ride by if possible. Barring that possibility - he just wants to fight - so let him. He will use his lay on hands ability as needed on Overseer/Foreman first - on himself if he is injured as well. 1: Pestillence, Prince FyreDragon [Vathelokai]: win [+675xp/+675gp] -- Used 7 bolts (3sp, 5cp) 2: Jodan Desho, Vathelokai and Kronos, NiQil with Victor, Laughing Dragon [Mind Rogue]: win [+675xp/+675gp] -- Used 1 bolt (5cp); Crafted Banded Mail (125gp), Bought Horseshoes of Speed (3000gp) [3125gp] 3: Ch'ch'ili, Begferdeth [Luni]: loss [+225xp/+225gp] 4: Shakari, Luni [Altaris13]: win [+843xp/+843gp] -- Used 1 bolt (5cp); Crafted 60 bolts for campaign, purchased incidentals for campaign.

His father and mother were killed, his sister and uncle unaccounted for but likely dead. It was here in the ashes of his broken home that Solan swore bloody vengeance against those that had wronged him. His good soul was clouded by the black cloud of grief and for a time it consumed him. Solan took up his father's notched sword and tracked the raiders to their camp. He struck from the shadows and killed many before the camp was roused and he was forced to retreat to the forests surrounding his home. For weeks he avoided and ambushed the scouts of the raiding party until their leaders had suffered losses enough to move their entire group away from the "Shadowed Slayer". The young warrior set out after them but fell prey to a hydra in the woods. He escaped from the beast but was left gravely wounded. Hanging tenuously onto the strands of his life he was saved by the grace of a cleric of Kelvemor and taken to their church to be healed. Solan grew up in the church surrounded by the faithful of the God of death. When he came of age he heard the call of the Death God and became a Paladin devoted to the black church. The seasons passed and Solan gained the title "Righteous" as he travelled the land in the service of his faith. His travels eventually took him to Gladius and the arena. It is here that he would find his calling. Kelvemor had propelled him along the path fate had paved for his destiny, but that destiny remained a shadowed enigma to all. Solan has short blonde hair and grey eyes. He is compact and strongly built with slightly tanned skin. His gaze carries a piercing quality native to those who have known hardship and strife. His serious approach to the work of his diety has turned him into a harsh realist. He makes no plans for his future save to serve the interests of his faith and uphold his code. His sole and driving ambition aside from those tenants is the completion of his bloody vendetta against the raiders that robbed him of his life and family. His sole hatred, a drive that could be his undoing... The Liberation of Achos: Solan tested his skill in the arena of Gladius. His opponents were quick and skilled, but they fell before his lance. It was in the midst of a battle with a dastardly archer that he almost met his diety in the flesh. A fall into a bubbling pit of superheated rock taught him to appreciate the powers of the nimbus. Restored by the encompassing magic, he journeyed away from the city for a time into the Kingdom of Achos. It was there that he received a commission to rescue the daughter of the king from the hands of a group of pirates. He met with four companions to begin his quest; Dudael the cleric, Ephraim the psionic warrior, Silis the wizard, and Featylec the scout. Together they represented the Kingdom of Achos. With the help of his companions, Solan infiltrated the fort where the princess was being held, slaying a pair of foul Otyughs. The princess was unharmed, but guarded by a fierce dragon! It was with a battle chant to his God that Solan tackled the beast and so ended its life. With the princess in tow, Solan and his companions fled the fort and found that everything was not as it seemed. The paladin and his companions were caught up in a great coup and their involvement had disrupted the plans of the upsurpers. After finding transportation aboard the vessel of a loyal sailor, the party rescued the rightful prince of Achos before he was executed by the new government and brought him to safety. Battles followed. The plan of the enemy was intricate, but their adaption was swift. They attempted to counter the prince's efforts, in the form of Solan and his allies, at every turn. Their attempts at sabotage were executed with great skill, but in the end the warriors of the loyalist government broke through the illusions of those in power and restored the prince to his throne in a final epic battle at the castle of Achos.

Erithmu 01-18-07, 12:17 AM	The two paladins of the CEF rode out onto the battlefield with the withdrawal of the Achos Regiments. The remaining 20 men decided to keep their lives, they had been defeated. Over the next series of days the two knights had done more grunt work than anything and the freedom fighters were ready to move. See choices in the intro post. If I don't hear by tomorrow at noon my time, I'll roll 1d2, first one to speak gets the roll.
TelinArtho 01-18-07, 01:56 AM	I have no preference either way - I'll take the random shot. Sir Valkin will be astride Overseer for the start of the mission if that is alright (I forgot to prebuff him - but its just a full round action). If its not alright, let me know and I'll edit Foreman in place of Overseer. Also, assuming that I can use it for role play only, Flagon will be helping to move things around with his ability to haul massive weight. Astride his faithful mount, Sir Valkin surveyed the work going on - mostly the movement of rubble from one side of the field to the other. The many dead on this land troubles him, but it was not his doing that set it about, and had it been he is not quite sure who was in the right. Still the Celestial Forces had been a kind home to him, so he wasn't going to be too quick to judge. Foreman cantered lightly beside him, and he reached over to pat him on the back. Looks like a relaxing day my dear friend. Sir Valkin waves to a familiar silhouette on the horizon - a fellow CEF member, Solan. Sir Valkin and his faithful friends stride up quickly to close the distance. How does life fare for you my friend?
Erithmu 01-18-07, 10:08 AM	Roll has been made: strangely enough I managed to roll something that was not CR 10, so I rerolled. Overseer is fine, give Iced a chance to get in here. The hustle and bustle of the caravan of Gawane members was plodding along as Solan rode up. Most were still not happy, but they were not willing to test the two paladins.
Iced 01-20-07, 02:35 PM	"There are many dead..." Agminus snorts at the sight of a fellow creature and Solan pats his head absentmindedly. Together the two paladins survey the battlefield. "Our quest may be difficult, the power of those we wish to aid has taken a serious blow." sorry, finals week...
Erithmu 01-20-07, 05:39 PM	The two paladins looked on as time progressed. Suddenly, what seemed as the closest representation to an explosion occurred some 200 ft up the line. Earth exploded everywhere and screams were heard. Most of the line scattered leaving an open area between the two paladins and the sight. It seemed that 4 burrowing things had come up from the ground and were attacking a weapons cart. The seemed to be eating at the metal Init (since there are two of you, whoever posts first goes first. The monsters will all act after you do.) Valkin - ?? Solan - ?? Monsters - ??
TelinArtho 01-20-07, 10:28 PM	Hiya! Decisions befall us my friend! Without waiting further for his fellow guard - Sir Valkin strikes Overseer into a gallop, closing the distance with amazing speed. Close 150ft and set up for a charge. If I need to maneuver to make the charge possible, that leaves me an additional 30ft to work with of movement. If I need to maneuver more than that - do so - as long as I am within 180ft and able to charge - I'm happy... Sir Valkin will then quickdraw his lance and kill one of them with a charge and divine might. The charge will also be a ride by attack so that I don't end up in melee after the fact. Also - a size would be helpful.
Erithmu 01-20-07, 10:38 PM	Size = Medium @Iced: I know you don't have finals on the weekend
Iced 01-22-07, 12:13 AM	Ride by with spiritied charge. Follow same general tactics as my ally. Solan spurs his mount into a gallop and charges the creatures.
Erithmu 01-22-07, 06:20 PM	The two knights rushed in and both brought lances to bear. Valkin's came first striking hard and inflicting a massive wound to one of the creatures but not downing the creature. Solan lance could not find flesh as his lance bounced off the tough hide of the creatures. Both knights pulled away as the creatures looked at the threat that the two men now posed. They approached but could not get close enough to each of them. Valkin atk: 35 dmg 46 Solan atk 17 Critters 1 xx-46 (15 from Valkin) 2 xx (20ft from Valkin #1 inbetween) 3 xx (15ft from Solan) 4 xx (20ft from Solan) Consider them 'lined up' so that you can't charge the back one, due to line of effect.
TelinArtho 01-23-07, 09:29 AM	Well, if they are leaving themselves open to be charged - I guess that's what I'll continue doing. No need to expend resources on something that only needs to be skewered... For my part - continue Ride-by-attack/Spirit Charging. As Sir Valkin draws past the first creature, his lance embeds a massive wound in the creature's side. Begone foul being!
Erithmu 01-23-07, 11:12 AM	They aren't at charge range. You have 10ft reach with your lance so they are just outside your reach, This negates your ride-by as well. If you would like me to set you up for another charge I can do that as well. From their last movement these things aren't the fastest in the world.
TelinArtho 01-23-07, 11:13 AM	Ah - I misunderstood then. I do wish to set up for another charge - make sure to err on the side of caution about how much room to give them.
Erithmu 01-23-07, 11:36 AM	The two knights circled their mounts and came around for another pass at the creatures. Valkin on his pass finished off the injured creature, and Solan scored a hit with his lance. Valkin's remaining foe sunk into the ground and suddenly became non-visible. Solan's foes followed suit. Round 2: Valkin: set up for charge Solan: set up for charge Critters: give chase (base speed is 20) Round 3: Valkin: charge: 28 dmg 24 Solan: charge 27 dmg 18 1 xx-46 (15 from Valkin) 2 xx (underground) 3 xx-18 (underground) 4 xx (underground)
TelinArtho 01-23-07, 11:59 AM	What vile tactic is this? Slinking away into the ground like an infernal servant? Prepare yourself Solan - who knows when and where they will pop up. Sir Valkin puts away his lance and draws his shining sky-blue sword. With a short prayer to Pelor, he concentrates on finding his foes. Put away lance, quickdraw longsword of shocking. Then Detect Evil.
Erithmu 01-23-07, 12:19 PM	The two knights switch weapons for the moment as the ground rumbles and grumbles getting louder and approaching. With a sudden stop beneath their feet the trained horses back up a moment. Valkin begins to scan the ground but finds no taint of evil. Then as silently as the creatures entered the ground, they rose out right next to the horses. Powerful jaws lashed out at Valkin who ducked behind Overseer. Overseer was not so lucky as Valkin tried to navigate his steed away but had no luck. The third attacked Agminus but was well off target. Round 4: Movement/drawing by all Round 5: Valkin: detect Evil -- Overseer 48/60 Solan: delay Critters 2 xx (atk Valkin 23 (ride for cover) miss ) 3 xx-18 (atk Overseer 28 Mounted Combat 18 hit 12 dmg) 4 xx (atk Agminus 12 miss) Solan (Atk #2 14 miss) Round 6: ????? The creatures are not evil. I basically have Valkin and Solan relatively close to each other so you can easily 5ft step and attack whoever you want.
TelinArtho 01-23-07, 01:27 PM	Solan - watch your side over there! Overseer - attack! Concentrate on one at a time - let's bring these things down! Sir Valkin and Overseer, as a trained duo in melee fighting, tear into the hard rock-like skin of their opponents. Concentrate attacks on one opponent at a time. Don't forget the higher ground bonus Sir Valkin and Solan get from attacking from higher ground. Go ahead and continue on this route and take them down unless they once again retreat below the surface.
Iced 01-23-07, 02:51 PM	"Keep them distracted my friend! I will ride back and skewer these creatures upon my lance!" Dropping his sword, Solan quickdraws his lance and Urges Agminus to withdraw. The horse snorts, unused to retreat, but complies. If your presence keeps them at the surface then I'll be able to set up a good charge. They're probably animals or at least of animal int so they will likely continue attacking you and allow Solan to get in some choice blows.
Erithmu 01-23-07, 03:00 PM	And he posts when I'm in round 12 ..... They are as smart as some of the gladiators here, but you might now just get to do some maneuvering ... (the weird thing is that in 12 rounds w/ about 18 attacks per round from both sides ... the only 20 has been on a ride check by Solan, and no one has threatened a crit.)
Erithmu 01-23-07, 03:19 PM	Valkin and Solan begin to work Glaive and Longsword with the creatures, Their faithful steeds working as well. Solan takes most of the abuse but manages to hold off any wounds. As the creatures begin to fall Solan rounds Agminus and begins to ride past and make charges, but it is Overseer who finishes the last creature off. After making sure the creatures are dead the line begins to move again. CEF medics quickly attend to the wounds and the march continues on.

TelinArtho 01-23-07, 04:29 PM	Eh - I think the Fiendish Giant would've been more fun, but oh well... Sir Valkin thanked the healers for their kindness and returned to his post overseeing the operation. Hopefully - that is the last we'll see of trouble along the way.
Erithmu 01-23-07, 05:23 PM	Since the time roll really doesn't have any effect at the moment as both your special mounts were summoned after the fact. As the caravan moved on into Upper Merx the caravan suddenly stopped. Many of the patriots began to look a head to see what had happened. Solan and Valkin moved forward to investigate. near the front of the caravan the patriots were fleeing or throwing up. A large building on the southern side of the road was casting shadows on the roadway. An ominous hum filled the air that was unnatural, but it seemed to have affected some of the patriots. There were a few corpses on the ground slight dismembered, but no sign of the attackers. Clothing was in disarray and a couple of bodies were still twitching. Looked like .. feathers .. strewn around as well.
TelinArtho 01-23-07, 05:32 PM	What manner of evil is this? Solan - take up point and prepare yourself while I get closer. Whispering the words of Pelor, Sir Valkin's Hand of Glory bursts into bright sunlight, throwing back the shadows ahead. Activate Hand of Glory for Daylight and close to within 50ft of the former location of the shadows or until the source of attack has been determined. Quickdraw lance if a target has been found. If none has been found, cast Protection from evil and share it with Overseer and continue to close until the source has been found. If it seems to be invisible, replace protection from evil with See Invisible ability from Hand of Glory
Erithmu 01-23-07, 05:59 PM	As Valkin lights up the street the moaning changes and begins to cause an uneasy feeling Effect 1 below. Overseer and Agminus begin to shake slightly with fear but they hold their ground. One of the cloaks wrapped around the body of one of the patriots seems to come alive and floats over the ground toward Valkin and Overseer. Again the moaning changes and Overseer freezes under Valkin's saddle. Agminus manages to ignore the moaning as two of the same creatures detach off the building walls and begin to move toward the knights. The undersides of the cloaks seem to have feathers. Surprise round: Valkin Daylight Solan draw lance Creatures: 1 - Unseen action 2 - Unseen action 3 - Rises up off ground Round 1: Creatures: (size = large) 1 - Flies and continues to moan (+20 ft altitude 30ft ground distance) 2 - Flies and Moans (Overseer Fort 11 Fail) (+20 ft altitude 30ft ground distance) 3 - Moves and Moans (Agminus Fort 26 Pass) (20ft from Valkin, 35ft from Solan) Valkin - 72/72 - ??

Iced 01-24-07, 03:27 AM	Solan delays, not seeing an opponent. "Where are they Valkin?"
Erithmu 01-24-07, 09:05 AM	The creatures are visible to all and reacted to the daylight effect.
TelinArtho 01-24-07, 10:02 AM	Overseer! Move you stubborn brute! Sir Valkin does his best to get his sturdy companion moving, but try as he might he just won't go. Praying to Pelor, he casts an aura to protect both himself and Overseer and then lifts his lance in challenge to the opponents. Whatever manifestation you are prepare to be sent back to the underworld! Cast Protection from Evil and quickdraw lance. If Overseer is able to move we are going to try to get them if they come within 10ft of me or if I can maneuver there. Charge if possible.
Iced 01-25-07, 01:05 AM	Seeing his enemy, Solan chants a cry to his God, granting himself protection from evil. "May the will of Kelvemor smte you to the nine hells! I shall banish you from this plane!" Same general tactics as my ally. Pro Evil is up.
Erithmu 01-25-07, 01:18 AM	Valkin and Solan protect themselves and their mounts with magic. As they do one of the creatures maintains it's position. Another moves above Valkin and directs a sonic attack at Solan, which the knight and his horse resist. The third slides up to Valkin and wraps itself around the paladin, biting him on the inside. Round 1: Creatures: (size = large) 1 - Flies and continues to moan (+20 ft altitude 30ft ground distance) 2 - Flies and Moans (Overseer Fort 11 Fail) (+20 ft altitude 30ft ground distance) 3 - Moves and Moans (Agminus Fort 26 Pass) (20ft from Valkin, 35ft from Solan) Valkin Casts Pro.

TelinArtho 01-25-07, 10:08 AM	Muffled inside of the strange creature, Overseer hears Sir Valkin's order to attack. The valiant steed knocks the rider off his back unceremoniously and then proceeds to kick and bite at the creature holding Sir Valkin captive. Sir Valkin tries his best to get the creature to release its hold on him, but finds its strength surprisingly powerful. So Sir Valkin tries to break the grapple (2 attempts per round with his BAB), while Overseer forces him off his back and full attacks the grappling creature.
Iced 01-25-07, 10:15 AM	Solan wheels around and points his lance at the creature attacking Sir. Valkin. With a cry he charges, attempting to impale his foe. smite evil and charge!
Erithmu 01-25-07, 11:57 AM	As Overseer shrugs off the enchantment, Valkin shrugs off his attacker. Drawing his longsword he swings, but is disoriented by the encounter with the creature. Solan does not miss however on his pass. For all the extra effort he puts into the lance, it seems that perhaps he judged the creature wrongly. Again the creatures moan and it begins to become unnerving. This continues as sword and lance work against sound and tooth. Overseer puts his weight into the fight as he is able to hurt the creature, but not always. Then the moaning takes effect as Solan and Agminus both fall victim to it. They begin to throw up in the street and fall to the ground heaving out lunch and breakfast. The attacking creature encouraged by not having two foes to fight resumes his attack on Valkin wrapping him up.

TelinArtho 01-25-07, 12:37 PM	Wow these things are tough. Sir Valkin's tactics are not changing - break grapple whenever I can and attack with my long sword. Overseer will continue to attack the one I am focused on at the same time. If Sir Valkin is able after the first one falls, he will retreat on Overseer and set up to charge. If that is possible - he will spirit charge with the long sword on a ride by (again - if possible) and use divine might to up the damage by +5 (well +10 when the spirit charge kicks in).
Erithmu 01-25-07, 12:57 PM	Valkin breaks the hold of the creature and strikes again with his sword, the blow seems to take the fight out of the creature as it flaps away with great difficulty. The other airborne one comes down and tries to take it's place but can't get a hold on Valkin as he ducks down below overseer. The moaning reaches a cresendo as the unnerving feeling tries to take full effect. Valkin resists, but he feels Overseer stiffen with something that is stronger than fear, His steed doesn't react to his commands.

TelinArtho 01-25-07, 01:39 PM	Bad time to ask - but have they been resisting the shocking damage from the sword? Not really a big deal I guess - but I noticed it wasn't being rolled. Unfortunately, there's not much else I can do here without Overseer being out of the trance and Solan no longer nauseated... keep going for now.
Erithmu 01-25-07, 01:46 PM	Re: elec Yea they have I gave you the option of maybe taking one out with a roll off overseer and two bow shots (#3 is at 0 hp). It is your call ... Edit: I have your spare horses just off the field of battle, if you would like to call Foreman into the fight as a free action he will arrive 80 ft from you at the start of your next move, with a full round's worth of actions available.
TelinArtho 01-25-07, 01:52 PM	Take off shield (move), drop shield (free), drop sword (free), quick dismount (free if successful), quick draw bow (free), fire bow (standard) - I don't think I like my chances there. Especially when you add that I draw an AoO from the cloaker currently in reach for firing the bow or for moving out of a threatened area... which if he grapples me (pretty likely), I miss out on the opportunity... Nope - for now I am going to continue attacking in melee. My hope is that Solan gets out of the nausea in time to help. Its just a darned good thing my AC is decent and my DR is effective against their relatively small damage value.
Erithmu 01-25-07, 03:07 PM	Valkin battles the monster from the back of the semi-stiff Overseer. He spends most of his time battling teeth in the wrapped darkness, but he breaks away just in time to see a renews Solan spear the side of the creature and round again for a pair of passes...

TelinArtho 01-25-07, 03:20 PM	Are you done with your lunch now my friend? Let's take these things down before they take over the city! Get some arrows into the one above and let's get moving. Sir Valkin's sword is going to be more effective in taking things down that with him in a ranged combat. However, Solan can help in melee if he wishes as well - no matter to me. One small point - the act of casting Aid would bring the Cloaker to -1 - so he should have 8hp left... Sir Valkin will use Lay on Hands to heal himself back to full if they get him below 40 hit points.
Erithmu 01-25-07, 04:19 PM	The Cloaker on Valkin attacks again but is unable to wrap the knight up. With a quick spin of his sword he drops the creature. Seeing the difficult that Valkin is giving them, the moaning cloaker moves and wraps up Solan as the other continues to moan it's unnerving tune. Round 15 1 - Maintains Moan 2 xx-72 (DR2) - Atk: 25 Grap 16 vs 18 3 - 8 hp - Moans Valkin Full (21,14 7 dmg) Kills #2 Solan Nothing to attack Stow shield, stow lance, draw bow Round 16 1 - Ceases moaning moves after Solan (Move + engulf: 14 Grap 31 vs 18 3 - 8hp - Moans Valkin: ???

TelinArtho 01-25-07, 04:43 PM	Okay - now I will safely move away while taking off and stowing my shield (2 move), stowing my sword (move), quickdrawing my bow and firing a shot off at the moaning cloaker (standard). If it is still up - continue firing at it. If that is enough to down it - drop the bow, quickdraw my lance two-handed and charge in on the grappling duo, use divine might (+5 damage) and power attack for -3 (hit)/+6 (damage). Final result on that charge would be +14+2 (charge)-3 (PA) = +13 to hit Damage would be (1d8+4+5+6) = 3d8+45 minus damage reduction. Then switch back to my sword.
Erithmu 01-25-07, 05:39 PM	Realizing that the flying creature was about to unleash another mental blast Valkin went for his bow and wished that he had better skill with it. Quickly he fired the bow but the creature still managed to get the blast off. He felt Overseer go stiff again and from the looks of it Solan and Agminus were affected as well. Pulling the string back once more he hit the creature and it began to fly off... The moaning had stopped. Turning his eyes toward Solan he drew his lance and charged, putting extra force behind the drive. With the final thrust he struck a powerful blow and sounds of pain erupted from Solan as he threw off the creature, and stabbed. Valkin could see that he had hit his fellow companion as well as the creature and that each had taken a significant portion of the blow.

Iced 01-26-07, 02:46 AM	Covered in blood originating from both himself and his enemy, Solan cries out his defiance as he stabs. "To the fugue!" If i'm on my feet i'd rather be using the magic glaive. What happened to Agminus?
Erithmu 01-26-07, 09:53 AM	Solan is still mounted on Agminus: Valkin on Overseer (Shield stowed, Lance in hand, Bow on ground) Solan on Agminus (Shield equiped, lance in hand)
Iced 01-26-07, 11:09 AM	Next time i break away use lay on hands for 18 hp and switch lance out for magic glaive.
Erithmu 01-26-07, 11:35 AM	Again the cloaker wraps around Solan, but the knight is quick to shrug the beast off into the lance of Valkin. The creature goes limp on the lance as Valkin allows the body to slide to the ground. The two knights collect their weapons and again the CEF clerics come and heal their wounds.

Don't edit your char sheet, but just list what you would like to purchase.Half-Celestial Cloakers (should be half-fiendish...) End of Week 2
TelinArtho 01-26-07, 12:05 PM	In the summary - it appears you missed that each of us cast Protection from Evil. I also used the daylight ability on my Hand of Glory (lasts 50 minutes - so it won't hold-over for next week). I just want to pause and say that this quest has been a great test of Sir Valkin so far. I didn't have a clue what the 2nd group of creatures were until around the 3rd or 4th post that I made and even then - I don't know anything about cloakers... so it was nice to see him do well. Sorry about the spearing of Solon though... Well, that was fairly unpleasant. Do you need to stop for some food before we continue my friend? You features are still quite pale and green... Sir Valkin pats Overseer and thanks him for his great help today.
Erithmu 01-26-07, 02:10 PM	Summary Fixed. Yea ... I'm surprised the spearing didn't happen sooner with Solan and his charges. You kept breaking Grapple right before he would charge. Better AC for the cloaker, but no chance of hitting Valkin. Also I kinda did some illegal stuff in the earlier rounds with some of the moaning. I didn't read that there is only one moan that can be reused by a particular cloaker, and I had one of them spewing the nausea moan almost constantly. I forgot lots of stuff with the template on these guys and the moans I remember having to go back a few rounds and put in stuff from the unnerving moan. BTW: the hint for Solan was switching from lance to Glaive as Iced wanted to do later ... Ride by/spirited Charge w/ Glaive would have been 2d10+8 vs 3d8+1(after DR) The good news is this: I rolled up the last encounter, and I think you are going to be semi happy.
Iced 01-28-07, 04:35 AM	Solan looks a bit pale. "No... No Valkin, I think i will do just well without food now...'
Erithmu 01-30-07, 07:22 PM	With the posting of the CAP reactions we have reached .... WEEK 3 After a few hours relief the train began to move again. Within a few hours, the caravan had reached it's destination. While the local citizens there were somewhat discouraged to see the refugees from Gawane, they did the best they could. A few hours later temporary houses were set up and the sunlight was beginning to get low. Then came a bell from the north east corner of the town. Valkin and Solan were quick to mount and ride to the location. On reaching the guard post there is a buzzing sound in the air and post has been abandoned. There is also movement not only in the air but along the ground in the distance. Whatever was moving there were 2-4 in the air, and 2-4 on the ground. Neither of which was human. You cant see anything yet, and the 2-4 is to make you sweat some. :) Iced: if you want to buy anything (now that your other fight is done. You need to do so before character ready deadline tomorrow. (hint arrows) you will also be ECL 8 for this fight.
Iced 01-31-07, 12:33 AM	300 arrows and upgrade lance to +1
TelinArtho 01-31-07, 10:20 AM	Close to ~60ft and detect evil if I still haven't seen anything. If I do see something - quickdraw lance and charge it if I can. If I can't - I'll need more info to work with based on the situation.
Erithmu 01-31-07, 10:46 AM	Valkin and Solan begin to scan the area for evil, but the figures were well out of range for their senses. Calming their horses they moved out slowly towards the sounds. Suddenly about 200 ft away three figures that looked like mutated giant flies came around the corner of a building in formation. About the same time three snake-humans came out from various hiding locations. Lances and weapons came out and the battle was joined. Round 1: Init: 18 - Ground: all three perform an action similar to what looks like spellcasting, but it is hard to determine what the effect is. 10 - CEF: ??? (Distance to the grounded foes is 200ft) 04 - Air: ??? The ground creatures have gear, but I'm typing this from class, so I don't remember what I put on them.
TelinArtho 01-31-07, 11:21 AM	Assuming the air-bound foes are about 200ft away as well Sir Valkin maneuvers Overseer closer. As he does so, he pulls a vial from his belt and drinks it down. Whatever your intent here - hostility will only mean your deaths here. Lay down your weapons and submit peacefully. Draw and drink a potion of Shield of Faith +2 while maneuvering 40ft closer. If the air-bound foes are closer than 200ft to start with, try to stay at least 100ft away from them if I can do so. The important thing is to be in charge range though... (180ft). On the following round, charge with my lance if I can; move to base and attack with my sword if I can't. If I can't do either, cast Bless Weapon on my long sword and maneuver some more (to set up to charge preferably).
Erithmu 01-31-07, 02:20 PM	As the two knights set up positions for charges the insects flew closer while the ground snakes all quaffed potions. The two knights thundered down the avenue and crashed into the front most snake. Valkin struck true, while Solan could not find a mark. The retaliation was immediate... The three insects flew back around and breathed lightning, and a glimpse of a blue tint across their bodies made for an odd comparison. Valkin took two strokes with the greater perceived threat, and Solan took one of the strikes. The snakes struck back as well, the first spit fire that Valkin tried to block with his shield but the flames hit him and then almost engulfed his shield as well. The hurt snake tried to distract the horses, but found that nothing would affected them. The airborne one dove down at Valkin but found only air in his teeth. Round 1: Init: 18 - Ground: all three perform an action similar to what looks like spellcasting, but it is hard to determine what the effect is. 10 - CEF: - Valkin potion of SoF and move to 180ft - Solan move to 160ft 04 - Air: move 80 ft closer (at +30 elevation) (100ft ground distance) round 2: Snakes: All quaff different looking potions, one takes to the air - 1: Quaff liquid - 2: xx-29 Quaff liquid - 3: Quaff liquid, gain 30ft altitude CEF: - Valkin: Charge #2 (atk 28 dmg 29) - Solan: Charge #2 (atk 18 miss) Insects: - 1 BW vs V+O (Saves 16,14 Valkin: 13dmg Over: 0dmg (Avoision) - 2 BW vs V+O (Saves 15,10 Valkin: 16dmg Over 33 dmg) - 3 BW vs S+A (Saves 14,10 Solan: 12 dmg Agmin 25 dmg) Round 3: Snakes: - 1: Spits fire at Valkin (14 dmg Refx: 1!

TelinArtho 01-31-07, 03:08 PM	With my lance up - the first thing to dive at me (unless it has reach) should suffer an AoO. Vile creatures - for these acts, you will have to answer to a higher being! Valkin dropped his lance before him, hefted his sword and draws it twice across the chest of the insect before him with the power and might of a knight of Pelor. Drop lance, quickdraw sword, full attack wounded one with sword using divine might (+5 damage) and smite evil (+5 to hit, +8 damage if it is evil). Overseer should full attack as well. If I can't do the five foot step to do this (not sure from above), Sir Valkin will instead have Overseer withdraw while Sir Valkin uses lay on hands to heal Overseer to full. Don't drop the lance in this case. Charge back in afterwards if possible. Next round withdraw if possible and use lay on hands to heal Overseer to full and Sir Valkin the rest.
Erithmu 02-01-07, 12:13 AM	Valkin and Solan went to work dispatching the two grounded snakes. The airborne insects made their presence known with one diving down onto Solan causing the knight to cry out. The remaining snake returned to the air with some fear of trying to stay alive.

Iced 02-01-07, 02:46 AM	Solan urges Agminus forward and the horse obliges, running as fast as it can. Use the run action to gain distance. Use lay on hands to heal Solan. Draw bow.
TelinArtho 02-01-07, 10:22 AM	How far is the one that is close to Solon? Can I charge it? If I can - spirit charge at it with my long sword (Overseer should attack as well) with a divine might and smite and power attack for -4/+4 (well +8 with the double damage from the charge). If I can't charge - go ahead and use lay on hands to heal Overseer to full as planned.

Erithmu 02-01-07, 11:13 AM	Solan pulls away from the insect bleeding and allows Valkin to charge through cutting the insect in two with a single blow. The insects continue their assault but only find metal for their stingers. The airborne snake now sees the real power and begins to hiss in a soothing tongue. Valkin fights the urge but the sound is clear and laced with honey "You don't need your mount to defeat us" He tries to clear his head but then he sees the truth ... He doesn't need Overseer to win this fight. Dismounting he considers his options. Round 4: Snakes: - 3: xx-5 (Withdraws upward) (Buff 1) CEF: - Solan: Withdraws - Valkin: Charge I#1 Smite + DM (20! confirm: yes dmg 68) Insects: - 1 (dead) - 2 Dive at Valkin (atk 22) - 3 Dive at Valkin (atk 16) Round 5: Snakes: - 3: xx-5 (Suggestion: "Don't need your mount" Will: 15 vs 16) (Buff 1) CEF: - Solan: Lay on hands, loose shield - Valkin: Dismounts (quick: Pass) Full round ??? -- Overseer: #2 (Full: 15,14,16) Insects: - 2 10 ft above Valkin - 3 10 ft above Valkin Also added 3 hp back to Solan for not reducing by DR on the dive attack. Valkin will not remount: He will get a second saving throw at 20% hp (18hp) to break the suggestion.

TelinArtho 02-01-07, 11:22 AM	I just realized I forgot to mention Valkin's charge ability on his plate mail. It doesn't matter now - but just figured I'd mention it if he gets a charge in again. Solan watches as Valkin dismounts and is curious about his action. Sir Valkin himself is dumbfounded by the action, but pats his trusty steed on the side. Take care of yourself my friend. Still proceed with laying hands on Overseer to heal him. If I can remount him at any point - do so with priority. Otherwise, ready to attack if they get in range to hit.

LoH is a standard action, as is readying. Preference? I also forgot the charge from the armor, until this fight, but it was included on the first hit. I figured after you crit w/ smite and how few hp these guys have I don't need to go back and roll it.
Erithmu 02-01-07, 11:37 AM	Valkin heals Overseer up and finds himself surrounded by insects that penetrate his armor leaving two marks and his body revolts as it fights off the poison. The snake comes back down to the ground and lashes out with it's bite again, it has a scimitar in its hand right now. Solan considers his options as Valkin is surrounded and the foes are on the ground. His lance is still in his hand. Round 5: Snakes: - 3: xx-5 (Suggestion: "Don't need your mount" Will: 15 vs 16) (Buff 1) CEF: - Solan: Lay on hands, loose shield - Valkin: Dismounts (quick: Pass) Heals Overseer -- Overseer: #2 (Full: 15,14,16) Insects: - 2 move and attack Valkin (atk 27 Dmg 11 Fort: pass) - 3 move and attack Valkin (atk 20! Confirm: no Dmg 10 Fort: pass) Round 6: Snakes: - 3: xx-5 Moves down and attacks Valkin (atk 16) (Buff 1) CEF: - Solan: Still want to switch to bow, you have some charges lined up? - Valkin: Full atk vs ???? -- Overseer: vs ??? (Full: ) Insects - 2 - 3 Valkin 22/72 AC 23 (SoF 11) - used: 2x DM + 2 smite (lance on ground) (33/40 LoH used)(dismounted) -- Overseer 60/60 Solan 59/80 AC 23 - Used: 1 smite LoH(18) -- Agminus 20/45
TelinArtho 02-01-07, 01:05 PM	Overseer pounds on the insectlike form of the opponent same target as previous round and Sir Valkin attacks the wounded snake-like creature. The two act in unison despite Sir Valkin's change of heart about staying mounted. [If I am wounded enough to force another save and succeed, remount and withdraw to heal. If not, continue fighting fearlessly]
Iced 02-01-07, 06:28 PM	Solan scorns his previous course. Seeing his ally in trouble, he puts two hands on his lance and charges the closest enemy. A feral cry escapes his lips as he bears down with his weapon. Agminus whinnys threateningly. spirited charge with lance. Hold it two handed.
Erithmu 02-01-07, 06:49 PM	Solan speared one of the bugs which Overseer now finished and then added a bit to the other bug. With only a snake and bug left, Valkin wondered if his wounds would get the better of him as he landed two blows with his sword, and tasted some of the snake's sword. Round 6: Snakes: - 3: xx-34 Moves down and attacks Valkin (atk 16) (Buff 1) CEF: - Solan: Charge vs Bug 2 (atk 24 dmg 29) - Valkin: Full atk vs snake (atks 29,24 dmg 18,11) -- Overseer: vs Bug 2 (Full: 20,28,26 dmg:9,6,5) (last hit gets #3 Insects - 2: xx-41 - 3: xx-5 Attacks Valkin (atk 23 miss) Round 6: Snakes: - 3: xx-34 Full vs Valkin (atks 20!,17,6 Confrim no Dmg 7-3=4) (Valkin secondary Will: 1!) (Buff 1) CEF: - Solan: - Valkin: -- Overseer: vs Bug 3 Insects - 3: xx-5 I don't think the snake is dead, but I dont have my books. It is a Yuan-ti halfblood, which isn't in the SRD. Valkin will continue to fight on the ground for the rest of the fight. Solan doesn't have a charge at the moment, but is a 5 ft step from any target. Valkin 18/72 AC 23 (SoF 11) - used: 2x DM + 2 smite (lance on ground) (33/40 LoH used)(dismounted) -- Overseer 60/60 Solan 59/80 AC 23 - Used: 1 smite (18/18 LoH used) -- Agminus 20/45
Erithmu 02-01-07, 11:54 PM	Snake is alive, waiting on actions
Iced 02-02-07, 03:29 AM	Solan steps forward and attacks the wounded snake, seeking to bring it down.
TelinArtho 02-02-07, 09:29 AM	Bah - healing... Gritting his teeth under the pain, Sir Valkin slices his sword accross the snake-man before him before turning his attention to the last remaining creature.
Erithmu 02-02-07, 10:10 AM	Solan and Valkin try to take the snake down, but it is Overseer who gets the last blow. Their attention quickly turns to the snake and in 4 quick blows of sword and lance the creature hits the ground.

TelinArtho 02-02-07, 10:35 AM	Thanks for the run 'Rith. Just one thing missing on the summary - Sir Valkin used a potion of Shield of Faith in the last week.
Erithmu 02-02-07, 10:39 AM	Postlogue With the Gawane refugees settled in Upper Merx, Valkin and Solan began to train them. Within two weeks the Gawane refugees had added to their number and had become self sufficient. The two knights stayed for a few extra days to smooth out the edges, but there was no real need. Finished with their work, they returned to the marble castle. Fixed
