Airwalkrr's 4e Game IC: Ch 1 Sedition

[Voda Vosa]

Petron smiled and chuckled after the half elf display. "We were waitin' for ya." he said briefly. Taking the chair he was sitting at with one hand, he stepped up, and lift it over his head. About a couple of minutes ago, an idiot of a man had been bothering Kastra, trying to get laid. Now Petron had to prove himself worth. The day couldn't get better. With a swift motion, almost as natural as walking, Petron made the chair a powerful weapon, swinging it upper wards, connecting with the man's back, lifting him in the air a few inches. What followed was a small tavern brawl. The man draw a knife, but Petron had already a chunk of the chair, with which he made an excellent club. Quickhands whacked the man so badly, that he had to be taken to a temple. After the fight, he walks back casually, tossing the club to a side, before sitting again. "And that's how it's done."

After the half-elf made his show,Krawlinstar said: '' if Pelor himself knows i'm worth to be his cleric,i don't think i need to prove anything for you,but given the circunstances...i'll do it this time.if you want to know what powers Pelor grants to me,bring me anyone who is sick or badly injured,and it shall be good again.if this is not enough,you shall ask anyone in the church of light in(city name that i came from) and you i'll know that i have succeed in all the missions that Pelor has given to me.besides that,i'm a model for my brothers in the church.''

OOC: if he brings me anyone to heal,i'll use Heal +8. if not,i'll use my Diplomacy skill +6.

OOC: ... OOC: if he brings me anyone to heal,i'll use Heal +8. if not,i'll use my Diplomacy skill +6. There should be enough wounded, after Petron's bar-brawl

"Oh my brother", Erik says with a smile as Petron starts the bar-fight. "I'm not sure what I can do to imprees you... I could tell you about the secrets of Dalag-uhn, but this claims would be hard to verify..."

A group of three burly men rush the table the group sits down, not satisfied with them ignoring the fight around them. Erik quickly knocks his staff on the floor, the accompanying booming sound throws the three thugs backwards and leaves them reeling...

"... hm, I really don't know what to say."

"You're not from around here, are you?" (OOC: unless by his clothes and accent he clearly is from around here) She asked.

"Hmm," the half-elf muses to himself, "not a very good guess. I am in fact a local, bred, born and raised here in Macea. Your powers of perception deceive you. But I'll not hold it against you... yet. Perhaps you are just a bit drunk. That is only one strike. I am certain the others in your group can demonstrate better."

..."And that's how it's done."

During the brawl, Celen hops from table to chair, chair to table, trying to keep a good eye on the action from up close without actually getting involved. When it finally concludes, he props up a chair, stands up and cheers, "Excellent! Excellent! A marvelous show! Of course now you're going to have to pay the tavern owner for all the furniture you've ruined."
The tavern owner looks furiously at Petron and is about to raise his voice when the half-elf prances over to him quite quickly and whispers something in his ear. He seems no less angry, but for the time being merely stands back and crosses his arms, a sneer upon his face.

...
"i'm a model for my brothers in the church."

At the end of this speech, it seems the half-elf is almost brought to tears. "So moving! So touching!" he exclaims, "If honeyed words were gold, you would be a rich man. You must indeed have the sun god's blessing if you can speak so well."

...
"... hm, I really don't know what to say."

The half-elf claps as the thunderous arcane power blasts the toughs backward. "Splendid display! Absolutely splendid! Well several of you at least have provided a fantastic show of your prowess. One of you clearly has skill at arms. Another the gift of a golden tongue. A third the might of magic. But yet I am not quite convinced. Entertained, yes, but convinced? Hmm, only about half-way. Perhaps you could show me a few more examples of your ability and I will be happy."

GM: So far you have 3 successes and 1 failure. drothgery may attempt Perception again since his first attempt failed, but all the other checks which produced a success wouldn't convince Celen further if made by the same person. In other words, Walking Dad wouldn't gain any benefit by making another Arcana check, but if another character were to use Arcana it might grant a success. wolfattack, I did not count the Heal roll since everyone only gets one check per turn and I used your first roll, which was Diplomacy. You may attempt Heal this round if you wish to tend to the wounded in the tavern after the bar fight. Since one more failure will cause you to fail the skill challenge, for this next round I will allow you to use an Action Point to roll a new skill check if you feel your roll for this round is too poor. However the new skill check must be a different skill from the skill you first attempted in this round and a different skill from that you used in the first round.

GM: Let the second round begin!

 

[wolfattack]

''You need prove of Pelor's power too? Allright,pay attention.'' Krawlinstar goes to the wounded man that fought against Petron,and before anyone can attempt to take him to the temple,he saids:''No need to take him anywhere.Pelor will heal this wounded man here.'' he puts his hand in the man,and a yellow light appears from his hands.

OOC: i guess i need to roll the Heal check again,so here it goes.

Erik

"Hm, from your brows and the hair on your hands I can discern that the non-elven part of your heritage is orc and not human. Fascinating!"

...

"I'm making fun, come on! The slight slur of your 's' and the pronunciation of your 'a' clearly identify you as a local. But your 'l' shows that you were raised in the elven tongue at home, not the human."
Erik perfectly observes.

Do we have to spent an AP on a missed roll? Feels too much like cheating to me...

[airwalkrr]

OOC: Which part feels like cheating? Rerolling or using the action point? Action points are player resources that are used to help get through encounters. I see no reason to restrict that to combat encounters, especially in PBP where we will probably have more roleplaying/skill challenges than combat.

OOC: yeah,i don't like the Action points ideia in D&D too. feels like the heroes can always try something that have gone wrong.just seems to me another rule and points to worry about.

 

[airwalkrr]

OOC: Well the assumption of 4e is that players have action points and that they use them. They are a resource, like encounter powers or daily powers, that you have to spend wisely, but the assumption is still there that you will spend them. The rules even encourage you to use them sooner rather than later by resetting them to 1 after a long rest. Bottom line is, perhaps it doesn't feel right to you, but the game was built with action points in mind. You would be ignoring a very useful resource that the game expects you to use frequently if you didn't use it.

OOC: Use it or lose it boys! Now go ahead! Intrigue is killing me.
