[PBP] Tholestia Chapter 1: Minotaur trouble and a failed ambush

[Deepwinter 7]

What was that! This forest seems to live... I suspect we will have company soon, so stay alert.. Hold up, it's time to start manifesting some powers.

1. Met. Weapon on Ilan's arrows [4PP]
2. Inertial Barrier on the Dwarf and Wulf [16PP (cumulative)]

To Kheldev and Wulf

I have created a psionic force around you I call an Inertial Barrier. It will greatly reduce the damage done to you by any but the most powerfull of weapons. It will remain active for the next one and a half hours or so.

[Dmg reduction 10/+5 sustains up to 100 dmg]

3. Know Direction to find out where north is [16PP]

Continue moving: let's head north, deeper into this magical forest

DW7 stat boosts (6x extended, double heightened AA's) :

Roll 1: 4. Roll 2: 2. Roll 3: 4. Roll 4: 3. Roll 5: 4. Roll 6: 4.

[takew]

Well this seems indeed like a good time to do some power ups.
Tycho casts a Bull's Strength on himself.

OOC: Bull's Strength: 3+1 = 4 -> Str 19(+4) -> Greatsword: +12/+7 (3d6+7)

"Now let me sing some courage into your harts my friends."

Tycho starts singing a elven tune in a low and silent voice. The words are hard to understand even for an elf for it is an ancient dialect from far away. Lost to most of elven society, but living on in the minds of the elven bards that walk this surface. The melody however gives a warm feeling to all of us and might bring the spirit up to a level that even cowards would enter this forest.

OOC: Giving: +2 morale bonus against charm and fear. +1 morale bonus to hit and damage. (As long as I sing + 5 rounds)

 

[Spellsword]

/OOC well the thread sure is going fast...I posted my cha in the gallery, but did fill in my bow since I do not have a phb at hand now. I actually requested an oppertunity to copy some spells from Diactum but since , what about that DM?
moreover i would to have had the oppertunuty to identy the wand of fireball.....where is diactum anyway?

My prepared spells:
0 read magic, detect magic, mage hand, disrupt
1 shield, shield, shocking grasp, expeditious retreat
2 mirror image, cats grace, bulls strength


Actions:

Cast Cats grace-----> (irony does not work old fashioned die)
1d4+1 roll= 3 dex: 18
Use wand of light and stick it in between my belt....so I have my hands free
I also ( I take I have two rounds before evil strikes...Bulls strength on the dwarf...
Roll 1d4+1=4 strenghth extra mr..dwarf

Let us be wary companions.....This forest seems to breathe danger....I will use some spells to power up..

OOC/ I will think about whether I keep the glovs or give them to the dwarf....)

 

[Sullaf]

OOC: in a low and SILENT voice

Kheldev, a little surprised at the display of 'lock and load' feels a little lost. "Me be gratefu' Sir Wulf and Sir Dee'... euhm... sommin'. Ye be carry'n' powerfu'magics!

He tries hard to think of anything which he carries which he could benefit from, and then he smiles, rummages around in his sack and out comes a mug, with a cover on it. He removes the cover and drinks his ale in one zip. "Aah no'in' like a'ale befo'a ba'le. If ya all be done, le'move on. Whi'wa' be north??

Kheldev will move on to the direction Dw7 points him, at the front, full of bravery, and ready for anything.

OOC: Kheldev now has an effective strength of 22, which adds +2 to hit and +3 to damage

 

[Ravellion]

A near black, shadowy, semi-transparent humanoid shape appears and moves through a tree.

The breath you heard earlier seems to reemerge and now it seems to speak. In one loud chilly breath the creature asks "WHY ARE YOU HERE?"

 

[Sullaf]

Kheldev does not answer: he'd rather have someone else do the talking. Instead he places his boots a few centimers away from eachother, grabs his waraxe just a little bit harder and braces himself to charge at the shadowy thing as soon as it is within reach.

 

[takew]

Tycho stops singing and waits for Ilan to do the talking... The group leader will fix this in a sec. Lets see how great his leadership skills are. If Ilan (or anyone els) doesn't starts talking within a round, Tycho will make a step forward and will explain things to the ghost like creature. (btw does Tych know what it is?)

Waiting... 1,2,3,4,5...

 

[Deepwinter 7]

[POST BY ILAN]

"Get ready, guys"

"To destroy you."I yell to the undead.
I pull back my bowstring and fire an arrow and yet another one if there is time.

 

[Deepwinter 7]

A little aghast by the tremendously stupid retort of Ilan ...

WAIT DW7 screams to Ilan your arrows will do you no good and will only get us into trouble!

Then to the ghostlike creature, regardless of what the others do ...

We are here seeking a long lost mage guild, in search of the research notes of Saljara the Many Faceted! Pray let us pass and I will keep this group under control

 

[takew]

Thinking: "Mmmm... So the brains of this party are not compatible with it's natural leader... Mmmm... There might be a story in this."

[Tycho is going for a detect evil on the ghostlike creature. He concentrates for a round. (But not of course if it attacks us after he was shot at.)]
