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

    Yikes, sorry for not posting lately, but what happened to the forum in the past couple of weeks? I want my dark background back! Bannock hauls his things into the new house and commandeers a workspace near the hearth for his work on the repeating crossbow, glad that he doesn't have to keep...

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

    Bannock is slightly flustered by the debate, but manages to pipe up, and tries to sound dignified. "I ask the council to send reinforcements to Gate Pass! We've heard that the Ragesians have breached the first district, but there are fourteen districts, each with its own wall spanning the pass...

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

    "What of Shahalesti's war fleets? The Ragesians are spreading themselves thin. While Leska sends her warships to Sindaire, she leaves her Eastern shores vulnerable, yet we see only that Shahalesti sails here, to Seaquen," Bannock muses. About the crossbow, we'll say that Bannock works on it in...

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

    Bannock buys a set of masterwork tools, and sells his old ones for a few gold. He also sells the longsword he carried, as well as the suit of half-plate he no longer requires, for a total of 308 gp. He passes on the offers of employment. The proffered wages are below what he might make if he...

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

    Seeing the high prices all around the town, and the glut of refugees, Bannock sees opportunities abound. "There's a lot o' defenseless people here, and so much hate for Ragesia. That, I can get behind! These people need help though. Weapons, armour, equipment, training - a man with the right...

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

    Sorry for being slow in posting, things have been busy here and I don't often have a moment to spare while I'm at work Bannock strides into the outlying camps with the party, dressed in his freshly scrubbed full plate. "Aye, I could use some ale. Maybe let's look for some merchants who might...

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

    "By the gods, I didn't go on this journey to be a highwayman!" To the liberated woman, Bannock says "Lady, better not give Kirio too hard a time over these things. I've seen him kill men for less. D'y'have a name, o' fiery one?" Something about the woman's demeanor strikes Bannock as odd.

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

    Bannock packs up the pieces of the full plate armor. He'll wait to don the suit until there is time to clean it up and size the straps and fasteners properly. To the surviving witch he delivers a shove with the shaft of his polearm and says gruffly, "Come on then hag, let's see this prisoner of...

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

    Ok! Bannock isn't so cautious about diseases. Which armor are we talking about? The masterwork breast plate I assume, not the full plate? I'm less interested in the full plate. *EDIT*: Nevermind, yeah, the full plate... I forgot I was wearing half plate. Bannock looks over the filthy full...

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

    Bannock's eyes glimmer with bloodlust. His arms tingle, as if his weapon just gave a slight shiver of anticipation. He inhales, takes a 5 ft step into I-11 and sends the head of his glaive whistling at the witch in front of Alric.

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

    Bannock, still slowed, hurls his javelin at the witch threatening Alric, though he is not practiced, and has difficulty finding an opening. Immediately after loosing the spear, he resumes a fighting grip on his glaive, with the witch now in range.

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

    Bannock was already heavy and now his legs feel like they weigh half a ton, from the effect of the pus-drenched hag's spell. Still though, he manages a cheery laugh when he sees Lars take both witches down. "That a boy Lars! Didn't know you went for the pox-ridden type. Better use a goatskin!"...

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

    The dissonance created by Kirio's music played against the mist's song snaps Bannock out of the reverie he was falling into. "This is a queer thing... I don't like it one bit!" He moves to I-10 behind Alric and Arnir and readies his glaive to strike anything what moves into range. His mind...

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

    Bannock's head swivels around as he searches the mist uncertainly. The sweet sound of the voice stirs him, but given the strangeness of the circumstances, it makes him uneasy. "What queerness is this now?"

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

    Bannock feels another noxious feeling come on, but it quickly passes. "Hmm, I thought I felt something queer after that arrow stuck me, but maybe I'm just catching cold out 'ere," he says as he goes over his wounds. His ribs ache where the huge lizard warrior found his mark with his great...

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

    Bannock swivels to face the remaining lizardman and rushes forward past Lars (M-13) to strike. His glaive flashes out in front of him, now stained with blood without the help of any enchantment.

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

    The arrow strikes Bannock and causes a minor flesh wound, but after a few moments he feels his face go flush and his vision swims, almost causing him to lose his balance. However, he plants his back foot, takes a breath and seems able to regain focus. Ripping the small arrow out of his shoulder...
