Sinfolty


Sinfolty hesitates for a moment watching the orc fight the crab thing. Why had the orc let him live, was he that foolish. At the same time he felt an urge to smash the crab thing as well. Shaking his had he charged forward and swung the flail down towards the orcs back.

Spoiler

Show

I'm going to rule I have enough room to charge.

Attack roll- (1d20+6)[8] ....2, I rolled a 2....
Damage- (1d8+4)[5]


Also sorry of the delay, some how I missed your update

[Cadian 9th]

Sinfolty

Your flail misses the Orc as he trips foward, bleeding heavily. The Crab thing attacks the Orc again, this time about to seal the deal...

Spoiler

Show

It's attack: (1d20+6)[21] dealing (d6+4)[8] damage.

..And it does, cutting the orc down. It rips off his head and brings it into its crystal place. You recall how valuable the orcs head will be, what with the mask and all that. They'll know he was a important orc.

Spoiler

Show

You receive 650xp!

Your turn!

[WarBrute]

Sinfoltly

Sinfoltly stands back looking down at the crystal, becoming aware of how injured he was from the fight. He stows his flail and walks to retrieve his pole-arm. Picking it up he glances back at the crystal, thinking how his parents would use crystal in their many curses. He feels an urge to smash the thing, but it did save his life after all.

Feeling a bit silly he speaks, "...Excuse my creature. Can you understand me? Can you speak?"

[Cadian 9th]

Sinfolty

The Crab thing looks at you slightly with it's eyes, not moving from its place next to the Orcs head. Its shell looks ridiculously thick. Very slightly, it seems to nod, but that could be a trick of the light.

Spoiler

Show

Know: Psi might actually help you here.

[WarBrute]

Sinfotly

Sinfolty smiles despite himself and kneels by the crystal. "Well, then. I would very much like to trade for the head of that Orc. Perhaps their is something you want from me or want me to get you?"

Spoiler

Show

Knowledge:Psionics would be helpful... if Sinfolty was trained in it.

[Cadian 9th]

Sinfolty

The Crab thing skitters up, showing its legs and claws. It stands up on 4 legs and stands relatively straight, and glows a bit. Reaching into its carapace, it pulls and taps until a small rolled up piece of paper falls out. It picks it up in a claw and, placing it on one of it's feelers, holds it out to you. It's eyes look slightly amused.

Spoiler

Show

Do you likes this quest vendor

[WarBrute]

Sinfolty

Still feeling a bit apprehensive about the small creature, Sinfolty reaches out slowly and takes the slip of paper. He unrolls it and looks it over.

Spoiler

Show

Defiantly not the average tavern owner. I like it

Sinfolty on the other hand hate psionics (and magic as well since he doesn't truly understand the difference, yet anyway.) So this will allow for some fun RPing opportunities

[Cadian 9th]

Sinfolty

You roll out the parchment to reveal a map. The map details some kind of cave complex that has some kind of temple-like place at the end of the corridors. A slight marking is in the temple-place's drawing, labelled " Ley-line gate. "

The Crab pushes a stone to you, a power stone of some strange nature. The crystal glows a little faintly, then makes a wierd chittering sound just like the Crab did. The crab looks at you, tilting its head like a puppy dog.

The Mapped area is about 750ft in a square area. The temple area takes up a 200ft square.

[WarBrute]

Sinfolty

Sinfolty frowns down at the map trying to puzzle out what it meant. "Okay so you want me to, go to this gate and... what." He picks up the stone and looks it over.

Spoiler

Show

Address the power stone.

Psicraft check- (1d20+5)[14]

[Cadian 9th]

Sinfolty

As you push a small ammount of psychic power into the stone, you feel a brush against a faint living being. It becomes apparent, as you probe the thing, that its a living organism that is, for want of a better word, halfway between birth and death. To say, it is a dying egg.

The Crab nods.

[WarBrute]

Sinfolty

Gripped by a sudden feeling of urgency he stands. "Ow..." He feels a bit off balance, but rights himself. "I guess it make since once I get inside the temple, aye" Glances up to check the time of day. "Do you want to at least point me in the direction of this place."

[Cadian 9th]

Sinfolty

The Crab raises a claw, but can't raise it any higher - falling over with a skitter. It rolls back over, and then manifests a beam of pure energy, pointing east. Several trees fall over. Definately a wierd crab.

[WarBrute]

Sinfolty

"Okay then. Once I'm done with this I can head back and rest back out town." He puts the stone in his pack and slides the map into his belt. Holding his polearm tightly he heads into trees where the crab pointed.

[Cadian 9th]

Spoiler

Show

Okay, I'll be moving you along now.

Sinfolty

You advance through the woods, tramping through the undergrowth. A couple of times you spot a few deer, you may attack them if you wish. Aside from that, the sky is blue when you see it and the terrain is going up slightly. You can smell water within 30 minutes walking, hear faint water crashing.

[WarBrute]

Sinfolty

He heads for the sound of falling water, ready for a break and a drink. He tries to keep an eye for movement as he approaches, water might draw hostiles as well.

Spoiler

spot- (1d20)[14]
listen- (1d20)[8]

Smell water?

[Cadian 9th]

Spoiler

Show

Yeah, you can smell water. well, waterfall anyway.:D

Sinfolty

Moving up to the waterfall, you chance upon the most amazing sight. Cascades of water smash into the lake below, a pristine lake where you can see lovely fish swiming around. The birdsong is peaceful, and the roar of the waterfall, while distracting, adds to the natural peace of the place.

Keeping alert, you spot a small squirrel nipping at the water, then darting away. Glancing into the water, you spot that the fish look rather strong and tough, with quite sharp teeth. Heck, some of them even have knives and guns. Okay, that last part was a joke. They still look dangerous.

[WarBrute]

Sinfolty

Sinfolty frowns as the image of a fish latching on to his face enters his mind. He shakes the thought of him rolling around on the ground screaming from his head and steps forward. Getting to the waterfall he looks it over trying his best not to get too close to the menacing fish.

Spoiler

Show

OK so he tries to search for anything of interest near/on/behind the waterfall while staying 5 feet away from the water's edge

search-(1d20+3)[9]

Also, about what time is it in game?

[Cadian 9th]

Sinfolty

Going around the edges, you inspect the area around the waterfall. Perring into the water fall, you can hear slight differences and amplifications, giving you a hunch that there's some kind of cavern behind the waterfall. However, if you want to inspect it, you'll have to appear there somehow, wether by jumping, swimming, roping or something else.

Spoiler

Show

On the subject of time, what would you like it to be?

[WarBrute]

Sinfolty

Sinfolty steps back away from the waterfall thinking. I probably could make the jump... but I just wish I could see where I was going. He looks back down at the menacing fish. Well if I'm going to get this rock to where it belongs..

Walking back 20 feet, Sinfotly stops, turns and runs at the waterfall and jumps as far as he can.

Spoiler

Show

Jump-(1d20+7)[8]

You've got to be kidding me

[Cadian 9th]

Spoiler

Show

Ahh, sorry dude...

DM

You take a mighty running leap, but at the last moment, the ground crumbles beneath your feet and you slip foward, losing balance and falling into the water. As if in joy, the nearby fish, who had been paying attention to the animals on the opposite bank, leap up out of the water, splashing back and swimming towards you with slow malice. You've got an opportunity to act before they get here, but this one'll be a challenge.

Spoiler

Show

You should be fine. Just watch your feet.

[WarBrute]

How deep is the water? Is he standing or swimming at this point?

[Cadian 9th]

Spoiler

Show

I'll say Swimming. You've just recovered from the fall, taking no damage. The fish want to play with you but won't be there till next round, so you have a turn to react.

[WarBrute]

Sinfolty

Panicking Sinfolty suddenly feels something click in his head. He strikes out for the waterfall and attempts to climb up into the cavern.

Spoiler

Show

climb check-(1d20+7)[19]

[Cadian 9th]

You successfully navigate the rocks and climb to the waterfall. Standing on a rock, the fish cannot reach you, so they lose interest and swim away. It'll be hard to balance on the way in and the water will be heavy on you...

Spoiler

Show

You haven't used any psionics yet! A Precognition woulda helped you :D or Psionic weapon?

I have an odd feeling that you changed your sheet. Did you, or is it still a Psion/Fighter?

[Cadian 9th]

*bump* pokes to see if it lives.

[WarBrute]

Oh wow. Sorry. I've been focused on starting up my own game I seemed to miss your last update. (computer problems haven't helped either)

Can we just put this on hold for maybe another week until I get a new keyboard for my laptop? I'm borrowing my roommate's and he's not very generous with how much time I get.

Well, wish you luck!
Lemme know if you have any questions, as I feel moderately experienced in PbP DMing. Also, please tell me if you find awsome.
