Wrath of the Righteous

Calloh, half-elf bard

To Jorgun, Calloh remarks in passing, "It's not so much a function of alignment as it is sphere of influence. There are plenty of good deities of home, hearth, and fertility who are very concerned that their flocks are 'fruitful,' wouldn't you agree?" :D

OOC: Calloh takes it as given that most artists who are true to their craft must occasionally get beaten up by those who can't appreciate a masterpiece when they encounter one. Nevertheless, he makes a mental note to, um, smooth out the rough edges of his songs, at least for awhile, because, well, he bruises easily.

Traits: 1. Riftwarden [Campaign Trait] 2. Courageous 3. Anatomist

History: Calloh was born to two adventurers, his mother was an elf champion and his father a human wizard. They were both Riftwardens who adventured into the Worldwound on a secret mission soon after Calloh was born. They left their newborn son with trusted allies, perhaps knowing that their odds of returning were slim. In any case, they met their doom in the Worldwound. Not long after their departure, the foster parents that they had chosen for their son noticed that a mark had appeared on the inside of Calloh's right leg – The Sign of the Seeker's Spiral. [Riftwarden Orphan Trait bonus of +2 on Concentration checks.] The mysterious circumstances of his parents' disappearance sparked an insatiable curiosity in Calloh. When he grew up, he was so intent on making new discoveries and learning new things that he almost seemed fearless when it came to new places, experiences, people, and creatures. [Couageous Trait bonus of +2 on Saves vs. Fear Effects.] Now that Calloh has fully come of age, he seeks to learn the destiny of his parents, hoping against hope that he may somehow find them alive and be able to bring them home safely. For his last trait, Calloh chooses Anatomist, which gives him +1 on rolls to confirm critical hits.

FYI -- Calloh is advancing as a Bard with an eye toward gaining levels in a PrC later. Arcane Archer and Eldritch Knight are his PrCs of interest at this time. Arcane Archer requires him to have a BAB of +6, which he would either obtain by being Bard3 Fighter4 -- CL7, or Bard2 Fighter5 also CL7. Eldritch Knight requires at least one level of fighter and 7th level in bard, so CL8. Or, Eldritch Knight could be pursued by adding a third class, sorcerer to the mix, making Bard2 Fighter1 Sorcerer5, which is also CL8. If he shaved the bard level off he could do that at CL7 as well, but when the third class enters the mix, Calloh will face some XP penalties that will probably make it cost-prohibitive. Realistically, then, we're looking at Arcane Archer at CL7, Bard4 Fighter3. Let's hope that this game continues in good health for a few more years, then!

Luna has her jaw open for Calloh's performance, not sure if he was serious or not. Shaking her head with a small sigh, she decides to say nothing to the bard.

Seeing that only one member of the group has not voiced his opinion, Luna looks over to Horgus with a questioning look on her face. "Master Horgus, I know you are in a hurray to get back, and that you must feel this is a waste of you time. However, if we are able to call back Torag to this shrine, this holy site will be a good base of operations that you will be safe at, while we figure out how to return to the surface."

[sblock=Diplomacy]
1d20+7=12
BAH. Bad time to start rolling bad...
[/sblock]
 

“I am afraid that I cannot help you,” says Horgus, although somewhat more gently than in the past. “Contrary to what some people may believe, I am devoted to my Lord, but that precludes going to another power in my times of need. I wish you luck though.”
 

With a smile at Horgus Luna says "I understand. And thank you."

Looking towards the rest of the group, Luna says. "Let us get started, shall we? I'll do an opening prayer, and then we can start cleaning up the shrine. Once complete, we will have a small consecration service. I will need all your voices to call out Torag's name during that service, while I focus on channeling holy power into the shrine. "

Moving forward towards where Medjai was kneeling, Luna kneels in front of the altar, focusing hard on what she knows of Torag. Raising her voice high Luna starts speaking in Celestial "Torag, father of Creation, we pray for your protection for this shrine. We humbly beseech you, let you gaze fall upon us, as we work to right the wrong brought on by your fallen worshiper. Once complete, may this temple forever praise your name. "

Once complete, Luna starts assisting the others in cleaning the shrine.

Cleaning the shrine takes time, but is not particularly difficult. While Horgus abstains from the prayers, he does help with the cleaning, albeit with plenty of opportunities to tell everyone else they are doing it the wrong way. As Luna says a closing prayer, you hear a sound like a chiming gong deep underground, but aren’t entirely sure if it is real or not. You do, however feel a warmth in you and are certain that you have gained Torag’s attention, a suspicion confirmed when Anevia and Aravashnial are magically healed again without anyone casting spells. All that remains now is to plan your next move.


[sblock=occ]Everyone is healed another 9 points of damage, as per a maxed cure light wounds, but I believe that only affects those two. On the upside though, that puts Anevia back up to full health, heals enough of her leg that she can walk without the crutch at 15 ft/round, although she still needs the splint and moves her attitude up to helpful in gratitude.


You each gain 40 EXP for making Anevia helpful and 120 EXP for cleansing the shrine. Calloh also gains 10 EXP for audacity.[/sblock]
 

"We have done a great deed this day, all of us. You should all get some rest while I take a brief watch." Nodding at everyone, including Horgus, Jorgun turns to the door of the temple to have a look around the cave while the others tend to their beds.

[sblock=ooc]Well done team! Jorgun just going to keep watch outside the door of the temple, primarily listening so as not to give away his position through a light source.

Calloh is definitely eager for some naptime, so he takes immediate advantage of the opportunity.

Anevia curls up to sleep by the forge, while both Horgus and Aravashnial claim spots on the pews to stretch out.

[sblock=occ]I'm assuming that everyone's plan is to sleep and recover. Let me know if you are going to take shifts to split it up. Casters please post the spells you will prepare. Everyone else, let me know what the actions you are taking while you rest are and feel free to take artistic license for dreams and such. Once everyone makes a post, I'll let you know if anything interesting happens overnight and we can be on our way.[/sblock]
 

Calloh, half-elf bard

[sblock=OOC]I'm assuming that, per PFR rules, you're not requiring bards and sorcerers to prepare spells in advance?[/sblock]

Calloh also sleeps in his studded leather armor, with his shield, weapons. and instrument arranged conveniently nearby, where they can be employed with minimal effort or forethought. He dreams of his first lute-master, a 'young' (for his race) treant known as Slowlimb, who taught Calloh that virtuosity lies not in a plethora of notes, but in learning to 'speak' the language of the instrument.

Calloh is not averse to standing a watch if needed, but he doesn't volunteer to do so, figuring that he needs his rest to regain his spell powers and also that if he is needed someone will surely let him know.
