Sir Valkin has such a slight build that he is often mistaken for a child when unarmored. 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.

02-15-07, 06:11 PM Valkin rode through the streets of Central Gladius. While the members of WAR held power here, there was enough of a truce that he was allowed to pass freely. An errand knight would not be held up. Approaching the Gawane boarder he noticed fires surfacing. With a quick spur of Overseer's flanks he rode to the destruction.

Upon arrival he saw that buildings were left mostly in rubble. All at once a building shattered and began to fall. Loud footsteps thundered the ground near the building, but Valkin could not see anything.

Init:
Valkin - 4
??? - 2
TelinArtho
02-15-07, 06:19 PM Come now with haste my friend!

Sir Valkin sped down the street as fast as the wind to close the distance to this errant destroyer.

Close the distance as quickly as possible to gain sight of the destroyer (giant it sounds like... should be fun...). If possible - don't get into attack range on the movement to prevent a full attack against me and to possibly set up a charge. If that's not possible (as in, I close in and he's right on top of me - quick draw my sword (if he's that close) or my lance (if he's further away).
Erithmu
02-15-07, 06:22 PM You are there ... there is just nothing to see ... You can see the indents on the ground that the 'thing' is making, but there is nothing to see.
TelinArtho
02-15-07, 06:28 PM Dastardly tactics you use fiend! But let the light of Pelor shine upon you so that I can show you justice!

Sir Valkin's necklace glows with light.

Activate the See Invisibility power of the Hand of Glory. Again - if my opponent is real close, quickdraw the appropriate weapon.
Erithmu
02-15-07, 06:36 PM With power from his necklace Valkin saw the form of the creature, it was still slightly difficult to pierce. The creature must have been naturally invisible to the mortal eye. It stood about as tall as one of the Marble Castle's outer towers. It is no surprise that the creature can fell a building in a single blow, as it did again.

Size = Huge. It looks humanoid, but is obviously not. Judging from the swing it has at least 10ft reach, you haven't ticked it off yet, so it is ignoring you.
TelinArtho
02-16-07, 10:03 AM Stop your destruction at once fiend!

Without waiting for its response, Sir Valkin's lance lept to his hand and in a swift motion, Overseer started to charge in.

Quickdraw lance and charge. If I can ride by attack to end up 20-60ft away from it - that would be best. Barring that - finish the charge by basing it (in other words, if I can move away from it so it can't do a full attack against me - Great!, if not - just end up in melee so I can full attack next round with my sword and Overseer.
Erithmu
02-16-07, 10:22 AM Valkin kicked Overseer into action and rode hard at the creature, the yell drew attention enough that the creature impacted Valkin's armor with great strength leaving more than just a dent in his armor as well. Valkin pressed on as the lance was unable to penetrate the hide. Passing by the creature now had Valkin in his sights and charged after the knight pounding ground, but could only find air with his mighty swings.

Round 1:
Valkin: Hand of Glory (see invisible)
Creature: smash

Round 2:
Valkin Ride by Spirited Charge (Creature AoO due to movement: 42 dmg 22-3 = 18)
Valkin Charge (atk 31: miss)
Creature: Charge Valkin (1!)

Round 3:
10ft of space between (5ft step +lance attack, or have to move 10ft) Creature has 15ft reach
Valkin: ???

Valkin 61/79 (Lance in hand)
Overseer 60/60
Creature xx/xx
TelinArtho
02-16-07, 10:33 AM Ride by attack means I don't threaten an AoO from movement - so no hit in round 2.

And just for the record - how is a 31 a miss?...

Amazed at the immense beast before him, Sir Valkin musters his courage and steps closer, stabbing with his lance. The might of Pelor with him, he prays that his weapon strikes true.

5ft step closer and full attack with the lance. Use smite on the first attack and divine might for the round (so +5 to hit on the first attack, +14 to damage (if it is evil) on the first attack, +5 to damage on the second attack)
Erithmu
02-16-07, 10:52 AM When it's AC is higher than 31 :)

Valkin stepped in and threw two quick lance strikes. The first struck true but seemed to deal no real damage

The creature struck true with both fists leaving Valkin a little more than shaken up.

Round 3:
Valkin Lance full + DM +smite (Atks 34,13 1 hit 12dmg - DR = 0) Not evil
Creature: Full attack 44,20! confirm 1! dmg (22-3 (from above) 27-3)

Valkin 37/79 (Lance in hand)
Overseer 60/60
Creature xx/xx
TelinArtho
02-16-07, 10:57 AM I see no alternative here but to flee.

Sir Valkin - clearly outmatched by this monstrous brute - makes a wise decision to withdraw. The withdraw does not come without its own penalty however, as his body is rocked by another terrible blow.

He reports his failure to Mellios himself.

Okay, so an AC higher than 31, DR more than 10? What the heck was this thing?

Ah - 9th level astral construct... darn psionics...
Erithmu
02-16-07, 11:08 AM Pretty much ... the traits were natural invisibility and PR

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.

Erithmu 02-15-07, 06:11 PM	Valkin rode through the streets of Central Gladius. While the members of WAR held power here, there was enough of a truce that he was allowed to pass freely. An errand knight would not be held up. Approaching the Gawane boarder he noticed fires surfacing. With a quick spur of Overseer's flanks he rode to the destruction. Upon arrival he saw that buildings were left mostly in rubble. All at once a building shattered and began to fall. Loud footsteps thundered the ground near the building, but Valkin could not see anything. Init: Valkin - 4 ??? - 2
TelinArtho 02-15-07, 06:19 PM	Come now with haste my friend! Sir Valkin sped down the street as fast as the wind to close the distance to this errant destroyer. Close the distance as quickly as possible to gain sight of the destroyer (giant it sounds like... should be fun...). If possible - don't get into attack range on the movement to prevent a full attack against me and to possibly set up a charge. If that's not possible (as in, I close in and he's right on top of me - quick draw my sword (if he's that close) or my lance (if he's further away).
Erithmu 02-15-07, 06:22 PM	You are there ... there is just nothing to see ... You can see the indents on the ground that the 'thing' is making, but there is nothing to see.
TelinArtho 02-15-07, 06:28 PM	Dastardly tactics you use fiend! But let the light of Pelor shine upon you so that I can show you justice! Sir Valkin's necklace glows with light. Activate the See Invisibility power of the Hand of Glory. Again - if my opponent is real close, quickdraw the appropriate weapon.
Erithmu 02-15-07, 06:36 PM	With power from his necklace Valkin saw the form of the creature, it was still slightly difficult to pierce. The creature must have been naturally invisible to the mortal eye. It stood about as tall as one of the Marble Castle's outer towers. It is no surprise that the creature can fell a building in a single blow, as it did again. Size = Huge. It looks humanoid, but is obviously not. Judging from the swing it has at least 10ft reach, you haven't ticked it off yet, so it is ignoring you.
TelinArtho 02-16-07, 10:03 AM	Stop your destruction at once fiend! Without waiting for its response, Sir Valkin's lance lept to his hand and in a swift motion, Overseer started to charge in. Quickdraw lance and charge. If I can ride by attack to end up 20-60ft away from it - that would be best. Barring that - finish the charge by basing it (in other words, if I can move away from it so it can't do a full attack against me - Great!, if not - just end up in melee so I can full attack next round with my sword and Overseer.
Erithmu 02-16-07, 10:22 AM	Valkin kicked Overseer into action and rode hard at the creature, the yell drew attention enough that the creature impacted Valkin's armor with great strength leaving more than just a dent in his armor as well. Valkin pressed on as the lance was unable to penetrate the hide. Passing by the creature now had Valkin in his sights and charged after the knight pounding ground, but could only find air with his mighty swings. Round 1: Valkin: Hand of Glory (see invisible) Creature: smash Round 2: Valkin Ride by Spirited Charge (Creature AoO due to movement: 42 dmg 22-3 = 18) Valkin Charge (atk 31: miss) Creature: Charge Valkin (1!) Round 3: 10ft of space between (5ft step +lance attack, or have to move 10ft) Creature has 15ft reach Valkin: ??? Valkin 61/79 (Lance in hand) Overseer 60/60 Creature xx/xx
TelinArtho 02-16-07, 10:33 AM	Ride by attack means I don't threaten an AoO from movement - so no hit in round 2. And just for the record - how is a 31 a miss?... Amazed at the immense beast before him, Sir Valkin musters his courage and steps closer, stabbing with his lance. The might of Pelor with him, he prays that his weapon strikes true. 5ft step closer and full attack with the lance. Use smite on the first attack and divine might for the round (so +5 to hit on the first attack, +14 to damage (if it is evil) on the first attack, +5 to damage on the second attack)
Erithmu 02-16-07, 10:52 AM	When it's AC is higher than 31 :) Valkin stepped in and threw two quick lance strikes. The first struck true but seemed to deal no real damage The creature struck true with both fists leaving Valkin a little more than shaken up. Round 3: Valkin Lance full + DM +smite (Atks 34,13 1 hit 12dmg - DR = 0) Not evil Creature: Full attack 44,20! confirm 1! dmg (22-3 (from above) 27-3) Valkin 37/79 (Lance in hand) Overseer 60/60 Creature xx/xx
TelinArtho 02-16-07, 10:57 AM	I see no alternative here but to flee. Sir Valkin - clearly outmatched by this monstrous brute - makes a wise decision to withdraw. The withdraw does not come without its own penalty however, as his body is rocked by another terrible blow. He reports his failure to Mellios himself. Okay, so an AC higher than 31, DR more than 10? What the heck was this thing? Ah - 9th level astral construct... darn psionics...
Erithmu 02-16-07, 11:08 AM	Pretty much ... the traits were natural invisibility and PR
