Gareth was sold into slavery at a young age since he was a bastard child and could not be provided for. He went through childhood with no teaching other than work and work and thats what keeps you fed. This gave the large man a strong sense of resolve and self worth, he was determined to surrvive and if this was his calling so be it, but that wasn't so. As Gareth reached a young adult age he was used for a new purpose, seeing that he was an above average sized man his master decided he could make more money if he made the boy fight. Gareth found himself in many harsh battles and learned he could some how make the ground shake with a slam of his foot. This aided him well and got him noticed one day by a man he would soon call "Master". The mans name was Godfrey and decided that day that a talented boy like Gareth deserved better. Godfrey was growing old and had no family but wanted to pass his teaching on. He bought Gareth freedom and started teaching the boy in the ways of the Psionic Warrior. The two seen a great many things together and enjoyd there adventures, however this was short lived as Godfrey contracted an illness that they both sensed may be the end. With money getting short Gareth knew only one way to make a living and had heard of this great city were fighters would fight because they wanted to, and not because they were made to, and a simple commonner could amass fame and fortune. Gareth never believed this while fighting in the pits, but decided to travel ther and see for himself along with Godfrey. Now they are here and Gladdius is there new home..

SauroGrenom 05-30-07, 06:47 PM	Gareth approaches the home of the shapeshifter in the afternoon. It is a three story stone structure situated on the corner of a block. Tall, like a tower, it blends in well with the surrounding city. Like much of the city the building was clearly once something other than a residence, but renovations have been tastefully done. Gareth prepares himself and consider his options about how to approach the building...
Malither76 05-31-07, 01:52 AM	Gareth will stay still a moment and manifest animal affinity strength. Is there a door ground level? How big is it? No bother. I will handle this in true honor. Gareth will follow up by drawing a oil of bless weapon and pouring it on his spear. While doing this he will issue his challenge. Tetsharna, come prepare yourself for battle. I am Gareth Known as the IronTower. You have wronged the PSI consortium and I am here to settle the matter. Come and engage me in honorable combat. I will give you 30 seconds to prepare or sooner if you choose to say go. You have not wronged me and I don't kill for sport. I will even stand 100' clear of your door. If you have heard any tales of me you know my word is good and honorable. Gareth pulls out a stone of expansion and uses it while issuing his challenge Gareth will then pull and use a stone of vigor. and then draw a stone of skate and use it. If possible
SauroGrenom 05-31-07, 06:57 PM	I must say the approach is not what I expected. This whole honorable combat thing seams much more Lawful Good than Chaotic Good. But you know the psychology of the character better than I do. Gareth prepares himself as he waits for a response from the inhabitants of the house. As the time expires, Gareth prepares to shout another challenge, when the door opens and a humanoid shaped tiger creature walks out...and regards you with a confused gaze...
Malither76 06-01-07, 11:59 AM	Gareth flashes back to his younger days of rash thinking, jumping into things for the thrill and sorting the details out later, then his mind focuses on all the training passed onto him from Godfrey. I know not of you crimes, just that you wronged the Consortium and I am here as executioner. Prepare yourself. Like I said we will go on your go. If the gods see you guilty you will fall here today. If not than I will fall and you will be able to go on about your business. Gareth stares down the cat creature with a strong look of determination. Like other strange things he faced before, like the dracolich, beholder king, succubus, and half demons, he knew not what to expect but to put his teachings out to there full ability. Gareth in his heart is still chaotic good, but when his master died he vowed not to rest until the killer is put to the same fate. Through the campaing he found yet another purpose in that of serving his friends. He is a strong man of honor and comes accross as lawful Good more than not.
SauroGrenom 06-02-07, 11:50 AM	Rakshasa wins initiative. http://www.hwx.it/coco/coco.php;v=1;map=city;a=Raks,M,10,33,Rak shasa;b=Gare,M,10,27,Gareth The Rakshasa draws forth a scroll and casts from it targeting Gareth. Gareth feels all the powers he has just evoked are now striped away. Only the dissolving weapon remains in effect.
Malither76 06-03-07, 05:09 AM	I see you are not without some tricks yourself. Gareth draws and applies another oil to his spear.
SauroGrenom 06-03-07, 05:18 PM	The Rakshasa casts a spell with no obvious effects. Gareth realizes that the sounds of spell casting are coming from the open doorway instead of the gesturing image before him.
Malither76 06-04-07, 12:37 AM	Is the creature visible in the doorway?
SauroGrenom 06-04-07, 11:03 AM	Nope. It's invisible.
Malither76 06-04-07, 11:34 AM	Your illusions are only delaying the inevitable. Gareth pulls and uses another stone of vigor ML 4.
SauroGrenom 06-04-07, 01:24 PM	Several motes of force streak forward and blast Gareth, largely removing the effects of his Vigor just cast (15hp damage). You can now see five copies of the Rakshasa standing in the doorway 35' ahead and just behind the illusory version of the caster.
Malither76 06-04-07, 07:05 PM	Your illusions only delay your trip. I hope you enjoyed a look at honor and valor on this day, as it will be the last thing you see before I send you into the Abyss...Gareth pulls another oil of bless weapon and pours it onto his Gauntlet.
SauroGrenom 06-04-07, 10:38 PM	Your Honor and Valor have misguided you. The Rakshasa uses a wand to send another wave of missiles at Gareth (17hp damage). He feels the magic destroy his Vigor and wound his body (-12hp).
Malither76 06-05-07, 02:44 AM	We will see, and that time is NOW!!!!Gareth activates his boots of haste and charges the creature, He manifest psionic lion charge and uses his three attacks to start a grapple. Or destroy images he passes his hand through.
SauroGrenom 06-05-07, 08:22 AM	Gareth charges forward and swipes at the multiple copies of the Rakshasa. His first two swings pass through images, while the third touches a solid creature. He tries to get a grip, but the Rakshasa slips free. The Rakshasa retaliates by using the wand to strike at Gareth again (17hp). (Gareth now at 61/90) Don't forget that you can use wands in a grapple. So if you grapple the Rakshasa while it holds the wand, then you will probably get torn up by the MM damage.
Malither76 06-05-07, 02:47 PM	Lets see you use that wand without being able to talk. Gareth stays hasted this round, manifesting grip of iron and attempting to start another grapple. once grappled pin him to keep him quiet, repeat pinning each round followed with attacking him with blessed spiked gauntlet, if grip of iron runs out remanifest it and continue to beat him until dead, you can expand both focuses on attacks to hit his touch AC which will be really bad while pinned, use full 6 points in power attack on both these.
SauroGrenom 06-05-07, 10:42 PM	Round 6: Gareth delivers a flurry of grappling attempts. His first two both close on illusions. The third try grabs a solid being and Gareth gets him into a hold. The Rakshasa blasts Gareth with another barrage of MM (17hp). (Gareth at 44/90) Round 7: Gareth continues to attack at maximum speed. He manifests rip of Iron and executes 3 wrestling maneuvers. He pins the Rakshasa and delivers two quick jabs with his spiked gauntlet expending psionic focus (since a spiked gauntlet is a light weapon, I don't think you can use it to power attack). The Rakshasa cries out as it's wounded badly (-32hp). The Rakshasa struggles but cannot break free of Gareth. Round 8: Gareth stabs the Rakshasa two more times (-17hp). The Rakshasa struggles to break free of the pin and fails. Round 9: Gareth stabs the Rakshasa two more times (-15hp) and slays the creature.
Malither76 06-06-07, 09:48 AM	your right it is a light weapon forgot about that Enjoy your stay in the Abyss. Gareth will wrap up the body, and head back to the Psi Consortium with the Rakshasa.
