    Six From Gate Pass - Chapter 3: Shelter From The Storm

    I must have missed earlier that Brutus had masterwork plate. Bannock would like to claim it and will have spent the period of discussion wiping it down and getting it on himself.

    Six From Gate Pass - Chapter 3: Shelter From The Storm

    Bannock steels himself. "Potions and scrolls I'll leave to the rest of you lot. I don't know the first thing about 'em. How long a trek is it over land to this ruin? If it's more than a day we'll need food and gear to sleep on and make shelter with. If less, then it'd probably help us if you...

    Six From Gate Pass - Chapter 3: Shelter From The Storm

    Bannock paces restlessly, until he realizes that nobody has been paying attention to the dead Elves. He moves over to the bodies and starts patting them up and down, looking for anything of interest. "Can't believe I've got nothing better to do than molest some dead soggy Elves..." Take 20 on...

    Six From Gate Pass - Chapter 3: Shelter From The Storm

    "The poor blokes didn't utter a word! We cut them down too quick," says Bannock, happily. "It's too bad we didn't get that Giorgio bastard. He wouldn't shut up. Ragesian lapdog for sure, that one. If I had to venture a guess, Mr Simeon, I'd say that he wanted to destroy the ship and all...

    Six From Gate Pass - Chapter 3: Shelter From The Storm

    As Brutus falls, Bannock gives Lowduke an approving look, and ponders fashioning a second blade on the other end of his glaive, but the flash of green from Kirio and the shout from the rogue snap him back into focus. He crab walks around the mainmast and approaches her from the side (moving into...

    Six From Gate Pass - Chapter 3: Shelter From The Storm

    Bannock wrenches his glaive free from the deck and Setales' bisected head. Blood and bits of gore mar his fine tabard he spent so much time preparing. "Harrumph. I knew I shoulda worn red!" He watches Giorgio climb the rigging and wants to run and swat him down, but Brutus' huge greatsword...

    Six From Gate Pass - Chapter 3: Shelter From The Storm

    Bannock recovers from the mildly disorienting effects from the exploding barrel, drops into a combat stance with his glaive, and walks around the port side of the ship to M-9 and, with a roaring yell, delivers a massive downward chop on the prone Setales. That was the most satisfying thing ever.

    Six From Gate Pass - Chapter 3: Shelter From The Storm

    Bannock spends most of his time during the week continuing to hammer and saw and lathe and sand at his crossbow. Each component takes meticulous refining. Work proceeds slowly. For the Wayfarer's show, Bannock is dressed rather strikingly in a gold silk raiment slashed with crimson and grey...

    Six From Gate Pass - Chapter 3: Shelter From The Storm

    Bannock Level 6 HP. Gah! Every time! Pretty soon I'm going to have to be called Bannock the Glass-Jawed. Edit: If no one objects, Bannock will claim the Amulet of Natural Armour, since I have pretty low HP for your de-facto tank, and relatively low AC as well. In addition, Bannock will sell...

    Six From Gate Pass - Chapter 3: Shelter From The Storm

    Bannock stands in awe on the shore with the others. He leans on his glaive - Lowduke's spear being strapped to his back - and daydreams of riding atop Naizelasa into battle against Ragesia. The thought of spewing forth acid-breath on his enemies gives him a warm happy sensation. He's also a bit...

    Six From Gate Pass - Chapter 3: Shelter From The Storm

    I just realized I forgot to mark that Bannock has lost the devil's black glaive, so my bonuses in the last fight were 1 higher than they should have been. Given the extremes of the rolls I don't think it would have made a difference, but I wanted to note it. Bannock laughs aloud at Kirio's...

    Six From Gate Pass - Chapter 3: Shelter From The Storm

    Bannock at 19 hp. Bannock steps back to X-10 in the face of Lowduke's withering assault. He is wounded, but undeterred. He estimates he can withstand another such flurry and still remain standing. "Ugh. You're fast, Lowduke, but you need more power!" He attempts to give Lowduke a devastating...

    Six From Gate Pass - Chapter 3: Shelter From The Storm

    Dazzled by Lowduke's quick maneuvering and his strange, spinning weapon, Bannock is forced back into W-9 (5-foot step), and attempts a powerful counter slash, but having been put off balance, his blade flies in a wild, wide arc, striking nothing.

    Six From Gate Pass - Chapter 3: Shelter From The Storm

    Bannock's glaive flies into action. He whirls it down on the cutlass wielding swordsman who stuck Arnir. After landing a clean blow, he steps towards the crossbowman who loosed a shot at him (into V-8), putting him in range of his weapon. "Take another shot then!" he snarls.

    Six From Gate Pass - Chapter 3: Shelter From The Storm

    Bannock, who is standing behind Kirio and Arnir, gets a rather uncomfortable feeling of deja-vu, having been in precisely this situation the other day. He puts a hand gently on Kirio's shoulder and leans forward. While discreetly glancing up towards the skylight and whispering as quietly as...

    Six From Gate Pass - Chapter 3: Shelter From The Storm

    Bannock stands behind the others and stays quiet. He shows no inclination toward acquiescing to any request to disarm. He keeps a lobster-plated grip on his weapon. The spikes on his gauntlet twitch as he flexes his hand. His heart is beating fast now. He's on a hair trigger.

    Six From Gate Pass - Chapter 3: Shelter From The Storm

    As they walk along the quays, the sound of the crashing surf makes Bannock nervous, and he does his best to stay well away from the water. Getting too close makes him suddenly feel the weight of his armour like a noose around his neck. Having reached their destination, and while the party is...

    Six From Gate Pass - Chapter 3: Shelter From The Storm

    Bannock proceeds steadily on his crossbow. Every day, for the entire week, a din of hammering and wood lathing is heard from the main floor of the house, and for at least a day, the main room becomes a sauna while Bannock converts the hearth into a kiln in order to shape some of the steel...

    Six From Gate Pass - Chapter 3: Shelter From The Storm

    Bannock will work with the party to get the egg from Lowduke, or, if the majority wishes, just wait for two weeks and work on his crossbow. I'm personally really not interested in pursuing simultaneous separate threads for each of our characters.

    Six From Gate Pass - Chapter 3: Shelter From The Storm

    In parting with Alric, Bannock says, "You're a man of honour Alric, but for a soldier, you're a sensitive type! I learned not to worry so much about Arnir's jabs. To 'im, it's like breathing. If he stops, might be he'd turn blue and keel over!"
