Can Dextyr Keep All These Strikers Alive? (DM: JoeNotCharles, Ozymandias79 Judging)

Sorry, I just automatically equated "extended rest" = "good night's sleep".
[/sblock]

The same strange sense of time you were having at the Temple of Lauto seems to be persisting, because after you get a good night's sleep and meet again in the morning, you discover it's almost sundown!

"Whoa! Is much weird! First is day. Next is night. Order is okay, but how long it last is much short! Big city is much, much strange!"

Tonk rummages in his duffel bag.

"Okay. While I sleep in dumpster, I have idea. I realize I not know name of anyone. So, I make the name tag! Look!"

He points at a crumpled, stained piece of paper pinned to his jacket. It says, "Tonk".

"Now, I have name tag for each of you. I have charcoal if you need for to write."

Tonk passes out torn pieces of paper, about the size of your palm. Each has dubious stains, perhaps once used to strain coffee or wrap meat. The odor is faint.

"Okay! Once put name, we make the Kill Buddy. Who want to be my Kill Buddy?"

Dextyr takes the peice of paper and charcoal from Tonk and writes his name on it in Allarian and then fastenes it to his cloak.

"My appoligies Tonk, I had thought we had made proper introductions. My name is Dextyr M'rgan."

Dextyr pauses for a moment, not sure how to word what he wants to say next, but then seeming ot find the right phrase continues.

"So Tonk, I am curious, please tell me, what is involved in becoming a kill buddy?"

 

[KenHood]

Tonk's eyes widen in surprise. "You no know Kill Buddy? I do Kill Buddy since I little baby. I thought everybody know Kill Buddy!"

"Okay, I tell you!"

"Is like Pool Buddy, but instead of swim, kill people."

"Kill Buddy is team of two. Kill Buddy always work together, like the salt and the pepper. The two Kill Buddy choose one bad guy and beat bad guy to death or knock out, whatever you want. When finish, Kill Buddy pick new bad guy and get him, too. Is very good! One Kill Buddy go around front of bad guy. Other Kill Buddy go around back of bad guy. Then both jump on bad guy, like a bum on biscuit. Boom! Boom! Boom! Go through bad guy fast."

"Now, I know is three of us..." Tonk holds up five fingers. "...so is weird man out. To fix, we maybe make two Kill Buddy team with long-range shoot bad guy person or we maybe make one Kill Buddy team of two buddy and one Kill Buddy team of five..." Tonk holds up three fingers. "...buddy."

"When fight with Kill Buddy, always make sure for to call bad guy, so everyone know who you choose. Is much important for to talk. If know hand sign, is even better!"

"By the way, you make pretty hand write! Like girl!"

[sblock=Tonk's Wish List]First: A magical mace that does a LOOOOOOOOAD of damage! Not one of those flaming or frost-type weapons. They don't do anything special when they hit. I'd like something that has a constant, cool property and mega-high crits or some way of sucking hit points off opponents.

Second: Magical leather armor. I'd like something that increases his HP, helps him heal, or permits him to re-use expended powers.

Third: Magical dagger. Why? Because when he throws it, it comes back. If the dagger is poisonous or inflicts a condition or does something nasty, that would be very cool.

Finally: Bag of Holding. He's carrying over 90 pounds of gear.[/sblock]

 

[H.M.Gimlord]

Mikara's head jerks up from the arrowhead she's been hoaning

KILL BUDDY!!??

I don't like the sound of that.

"I'm called Mikara Li Mesadh."

Mikara takes the paper, but doesn't pin it on. She examines the charcoal sadly.

[sblock=OOCI'm OK with the time warps, just as long as we don't suddenly look up and find ourselves back at the Hanged Man talking about our adventure, being at a loss for words.

I'm a little impatient to get things started, and I imagine that Joe is too.[/sblock]

"Tonk, Tristan, to me."

She motions them to come closer.

"I think it's time we set off
on down the East Road.

We should go softly.
If we make too much chatter
we'll be discovered.

Beware of sentries.
Be quick, and show them no mercy.
They would reveal us.

Once our quarry's seen,
we'll send report to Dextyr
as well as to Blade."

 

[H.M.Gimlord]

Actually, now that he explains it, it sounds pretty good.

"Tonk, I think it would be best if I were Tristan's Kill Buddy, and you were Blade's Kill Buddy.

Dextyr could take turns with each of the pairs.

Here's why:

Dextyr will likely stay back from the fight, weaving his healing magic.

Tristan and Blade will likely run in hand to hand.

You and I will shoot from the distance to protect Tristan and Blade.

If Dextyr get's into trouble, we can all fall back and protect him.

What do you think?"

 

[KenHood]

"It sound okay, but I no long-range shooter guy. I get close and splat!"

"Uhmmmm, who is Blade?"

 

[H.M.Gimlord]

Mikara points to the Deva.

"You don't have to stay at a distance. Just for the first strike. Then move in and smash when you're enemy is weakened. It's always easier to kill an enemy that is already seeing stars in front of thier eyes."

[sblock=OOC]
The time warps are just me fixing things when I make a mistake. Just a slightly more fun way to say, " Pretend I wrote evening instead of morning up there." Hopefully there won't be any more...

If the rest of you want to post wishlists, that'd be pretty cool.

And whenever you're ready to start out, let me know.

[Lord Sessadore]

Blade rounds the final corner just as Tonk asks who he is. "I am Blade," the deva announces. "I had thought you would remember, Punch Brother."

Apparently Blade's exceptional hearing has kept him up to date, despite not being present for the beginning of the discussion. "I would be honored to be your Kill Buddy, Tonk. May Maros bless us with glorious battle!" Though his face is fairly impassive, he fingers his axe in anticipation.
[sblock=OOC]Yeah, Blade's still here

Also: Perception (1d20+11=16) for keeping watch while the scouts are out and about. Crappy roll ... I guess Blade's too preoccupied with the imminent battle or something.[/sblock]
