The Rod of Seven Parts: Kauai Team OOC

[Ambrus]

I can't wait to see what the final tally is in Mael's epic goblin vs. forest battle!

Forest 0
Goblin ?

Hey! I get the Endurance feat at third level. Now Mael can burn trees all night long without resting!

 

[Voadam]

I'm taking magic missile and disguise self, though the touch attack spells and shield are very tempting for magical martial arts style purposes.

 

[Ambrus]

You know Voadam, eventually this woman's corpse will putrify and then you'll have those maggot swarms you were hoping for. Congrats!

 

[Mista Collins]

Well if our little master of dead bodies didn't leave to go get food and burn the forest down, we'd have someone to take care of it properly.

 

[SlagMortar]

Brakkus rolled a hit points (1d10+2=11) for hitpoints. I've got him at third level, and he's already getting better at fighting in the dark. Brakkus now has +1 will save so just you try to possess him again!

Brakkus probably would have gone to find out what was thumping as soon as his armor was properly fastened, though being nearly possessed certainly may have unnerved him enough to be afraid to go back into the darkness. It probably wouldn't have made any difference anyway.

SlagMortar, from Brakkus's character sheet:

He has been trained as a soldier and wants nothing more than to be on the coasts preparing to storm the Isle Jorunne.

Celine of Jorunne might have been an enemy. Or a coveted prize, depending on how you look at things. I'll leave it up to your discretion how much of her Brakkus would have known. I'm open to pretty much any possibility.

 

[SlagMortar]

Thanks for pointing that out. I'm bad with names of things and didn't take the time to look up Jorunne. I edited the response with something more appropriate, though I think his spoken words were actually pretty appropriate. He's now simply added another reason for wanting to have saved her.

 

[CanadienneBacon]

Good edit. I'll follow your lead on how close Brakkus was to Celine. Any level of involvement, from having only heard of her, to having been her intended, will work for me. Feel free to put your own riff on things; I'll play along.

 

[SlagMortar]

Well, as a minor noble, I think she would be well above his station, unless he did something magnificent like capture her. I'd say he's seen her once before at a large feast held by the King of Gwyund to celebrate something-such that Brakkus wasn't really paying much attention to. Brakkus's older brother Ander (the one I think of as a bit bardish) even danced with her. Brakkus could have too, but he was never too into dancing.

 

[CanadienneBacon]

Sounds good.

At this point, I'm only waiting on Strahd to post again for Gamad so that, out of courtesy, he can get in one post if he wants to react to the dead girl before I forward time so that Ambrus can rejoin the ranks of active posters. If Strahd hasn't posted for Gamad by tomorrow morning, I'll go ahead and forward time regardless. I do intend to leave you all with this petite cliffhanger, so feel free to converse your hearts away while I'm gone. You guys have the whole night ahead of you to chat; when the action broke out in the cave, Gamad was first up on the watch order and he'd only gotten in one hour. We'll have counted down two more hours before Maelicent reappears, making for a grand total of 3 hours of Gamad's watch gone by. The night will pass uneventfully.
