The Kolloseaum: Team Gil's Conscience (DM: Iron Sky, Judge: Luinnar)

[Rapida]

GM: I'll get the other tread's combat started and wait until tomorrow to start yours in case Brenwar is coming in.

OOC: I never saw a reply/confirmation for me in the recruitment thread so I assumed I wasn't needed, sorry about that. I realize at this point I'm late, but am I still needed? If not you guys have a good game and I'll hopefully get a chance to play with you guys in the future.

 

[CaBaNa]

OOC: What Iron Sky says goes, you're welcome to join up [MENTION=30079]Rapida[/MENTION].

 

[Darksteed]

OOC: Kauldron currently has 5 healing potions on him. If you'd still like Kauldron to take another that's cool one can never have enough healing potions but, I'm going to be greedy about it neither especially when other people can use it as well. Kauldron's picture is in his wiki profile. PC:Kauldron (Darksteed) - L4W Wiki Iron Sky: Would brutal level be on par with R1's Volcanic Dragon/Giant Scorpion fight we did together awhile back? Or would it be a little bit less or more then that? Just so I can gauge it somewhat.

 

[CaBaNa]

OOC: [MENTION=60965]Iron Sky[/MENTION] Gil is actually level 4, you have him as level 6 in the original post. Darksteed, we can wait, there will be time in between matches to transfer them to the most needy.

 

[Rapida]

Behind the group, the sound a lot of plate armor moving very quickly is heard. As you turn you can see a human covered in armor trying to make his way down the crowded pier, his progress is considerably slowed by the numerous people ignoring his requests to clear the way. Finally, he arrives at the sign up station.

You can hear him grumbling as he walks up, "That's the last time I pay a street urchin that claims he knows a shortcut to get me to the docks," he quickly begins filling out the paperwork, "I'm Brenwar Holyshield, paladin of Palladys. "

OOC: Character Sheet: Brenwar There is an image on my sheet that should work.

 

[CaBaNa]

You have any healing potions? Gil asks of the latest arrival, upon hearing his lack, the wizard throws two vials toward the heavily armored human. Everyone should be able to take care of themselves during this trial. If anyone starts to feel too exhausted, I can channel some of the exuberance from another of member of our team, into them. It takes time though, so we should avoid relying on that, and focus on not getting hurt in the first place. the human seems in his element, his fervor building as the time for battle draws closer.

OOC: I see Brenwar is capable, and full of temp HP, but the offer of potions of healing is available if you'd like. Gil can "transfer" one healing surge per rest via healing infusion, anyone can donate the surge, someone else can heal using it. The power will require one surge from someone, and an extended short rest for it to be useful during a future match, if it was used during the previous match or rest period.

 

[Rapida]

"I'd have to be a fool not to take so gracious an offer, thank you. I have a few prayers that can keep us on our feet, but never hurts to be prepared." Brenwar quickly stows the two vials in easy to reach locations.

 

[Iron Sky]

GM: I'm getting the low level group started tonight, which means I won't have time to get you guys going until tomorrow evening. Fortunately, that will give [MENTION=74526]nerdytenor[/MENTION] time to bring Jonathon in. Everyone can entertain themselves with initiative rolls for the first round of combat so we don't have to do that later.

 

[MetaVoid]

OOC: I would propose the following tactics: first round is easy, shoot everything with encounter powers using dailies only if something goes wrong. Use action point if you can make the combat end faster. second round: Open with encounters, use action point for sure if you didn't use it in the first round as this would be second combat and we should gain AP to have in the third round. Use dailies if they would keep us from getting hammered and keep more dailies for the final round (example would be Protective Roots giving DR 4 to everyone for the encounter and saving healing powers) third round: Shoot with everything you've got including APs.

Initiative (1d20+10=13)

[MENTION=60965]Iron Sky[/MENTION], could I please get the answer for the questions of Hand of Fate?

 

[Neurotic]

Init (1d20+4=6)

"My modus operandi is to draw attention of the stars toward as many enemies as I can and then strike fears into their hearts, making them jump around. I usually fight from a distance, but can punish those that come close."

[MENTION=60965]Iron Sky[/MENTION], WILL we gain AP after second fight?

 

[Someone]

"Bash their heads in. That usually does the trick" says the half orc.

 

[CaBaNa]

OOC: We haven't started the match yet, and are in great need of a leader. Would Joy like to take part in the kolloseaum [MENTION=48394]pathfinderq1[/MENTION] ?

 

[pathfinderq1]

OOC: I'm willing to join up if the GM and those already on board are in agreement. Don't know if Joy will bring enough healing for a party this size- but it would be better than what you have now. Sheet is here: http://l4w.wikia.com/wiki/PC:Joy_(pathfinderq1)

GM: I'm fine, as long as you don't go over 10 PCs. @MetaVoid , I only had rough ideas for the matches as I was waiting to see final group size and contract to provide the answers. I'll post the answers later tonight when I put the first map up. @Darksteed , difficulty is mostly just how much of an XP budget I allow for the fight, though it will affect how optimally I play the monsters as well. Easy is N+0. The others are more. @Neurotic , yes, you will get APs after the second fight. @pathfinderq1 , you can bring in Joy, I'll post the arena map tonight and let everyone position themselves then hopefully we'll get started Sun/Mon.

OOC: with Lerrick and Joy we are 9 strong and have better balance. Please feel free to join [MENTION=79956]dimsdale[/MENTION] and [MENTION=48394]pathfinderq1[/MENTION]. [MENTION=60965]Iron Sky[/MENTION] the current list, including both leaders, is Gil, Cyr, Ootah, Kauldron, Artemis, Martelai, Brenwar, Joy, Lerrick. If both leaders join please upgrade the first match from easy to hard. I think that is everyone active excepting [MENTION=46559]covaithe[/MENTION] who may not have noticed yet.

ooc: ok...I'm almost done with finishing Lerrick on a CS tool I use. It's just a matter of transferring information to wiki sheet. I'll have it done by tonight. Thanks CaBaNa.

As the group made their introductions and finished their paperwork, another figure emerged from the crowd and made her way down the dock towards the registration area. From a distance, one could tell it was a female human of average height- she wore a black leather longcoat similar to a sailor's oilcloth over brilliant red scale armor, and carried a long curved sword slung across her back. As she came closer, it was easy to see that she had a long flowing mane of wavy black hair and skin that had the faintest hint of a golden brown hue- and her eyes were plain featureless white, though that didn't seem to hinder her vision. She finally stopped a few paces from the assembled group, and spoke in a clear ringing voice. "Word on the street is that you could use an extra hand for this arena exhibition. I would be willing to sign on, if the deal is good enough. You can call me Joy." As she began to speak, there was a faint rush of music in the air that seemed to come from everywhere and nowhere at once- and the tune swelled dramatically as she spoke; even the bystanders gathered nearby seemed to hear it, and it seemed to stir the heart as well as any military anthem.

OOC: Don't have a reasonable token image, and given her description I don't know where to even start looking- anything appropriate should do.

 

[Rapida]

Brenwar smiles as Joy shows up, "Greetings once again, hopefully this goes as well as our last adventure together. Did you ever hear what happened to the Paladins of Apoli on Garnaman?"
Initiative (1d20+2=3) [Already rolling at my usual level I see...]

 

[dimsdale]

As Lerrick sees Joy move forward, she can't no longer resist the urge join as well. Now is the time Lerrick, she says to herself before taking a deep nevous breath. You can do it! speaking again to herself as she slowly exhales. Excuse me...thank you...excuse...me the young girl states politely as she finally gets to the edge of the crowd. Taking another step forward she speaks loud and clear And I would like to be a part of this as well! As she moves to join the rest of the group, she does her best to ignore the comments from the spectators as she passes them by...She's just a little girl...what is she thinking...she'll get killed...wait...is that Lord Weinfurter's daughter?...So all that was said about her is true...Does she still have the mark?

OOC: Don't have a reasonable token image either and don't have a clue how to create one. Could you choose something for me?

 

[FourMonos]

Artemis smiles at the new arrivals, "Aye, more the merrier! Welcome to the team!"

"I too have bound myself to the cosmic powers," he bows to Martelai, "but they have blessed me in a means more direct."

Artemis holds his aged iron rod in his left hand, and holds his right hand in front of him. Any inky, rolling darkness forms over his hand with many images coming into focus and then fading out. Planets, suns, constellations.... as Artemis closes his grip, the darkness coalesces into a solid force that further solidifies into a black bladed sword. Motes of light and dark circle the blade.
