Re: Fawkes: Sewer Rat

Fawkes Rather than investigate the passage I spot the Aspis, I quickly leap across the entrance, hoping not to attract them or more larvae towards me.

Re: Fawkes: Sewer Rat

Fawkes Tries to move away from the wriggling larvae as quickly as possible, sloshing through the boggy sewage. If I can get to a wall, I will try to Climb Walls to get out their reach and cross to the exit opposite. Fawkes: Move Silently thief skill vs 26% [1d100]=87 Fawkes: Climb Walls vs 91% [1d1...

Re: Fawkes: Sewer Rat

Fawkes No worse off for another baptism in the sewage. I think to go explore the cave at the end of the tunnel. Fawkes: Pickpockets vs 30% [1d100]=42 Didn't grab anything. I will try some silent movement to not attract anymore grubs or hungry larvae if more are in the garbage dump. Fawkes: Move Sil...

Fawkes

Tries to avoid grappling with the drowning Aspis and once more, swim away from the drain grate and to the walkway.

Re: (25) The Fortress

Crabgrass Sir yes; and tragically so. I was with a trek exploring yonder caves with the young schoolteacher mage Dubricus , not more than a day or so past. Sadly he died at the hands of some bandits and his body, tossed to feed the trolls I suppose. I have the remnants of his study books which, if ...

Re: Fawkes: Sewer Rat

Fawkes I think I want to try something crazy as the Insectoid Aspis looks a brute and obviously wants to hunt me. So ... I am going to try to dive feet first at the outstretched limbs of the Aspis and kick him hands or claws that grasp the ledge lip. I hope that doing so will drop him into the sewe...

Re: Fawkes: Sewer Rat

Fawkes I wonder if I can lure the Aspis to follow me along the walkway. If so I will get to the Ledge Trap, jump over the tilting trap and hope the Aspis doesn't know about it so that when he steps upon it, he gets tossed into the whirlpool and drain. To entice the Aspis along, I will point out the...

Re: Fawkes: Sewer Rat

Fawkes Hopes the fat maggot is making a juicy meal for the Insectoid creature. He is welcome to it. If I think it is staring at me, analysing who I am and why I come here. Then I will try and blab some response in Orcish. "Good food?" pointing to the maggots and rubbing my belly. Then I w...

Re: Fawkes: Sewer Rat

Fawkes Climbs out and sits on side of walkway, when an idea, crazy of course, strikes his bald head. If only he had advanced to 3rd level cleric (he started dual classed so was a few xp short) then he would cast Speak with Animals after luring a crocodile towards him. Schucks! I don't think going b...

"Bee Lady. Perhaps she has some druidic vocations?"

He listens to the gardener, then goes back to waiting upon the guard to return.

Re: Fawkes: Sewer Rat

Fawkes Running out of breath and time, he has to change tactics and instead of elegant breaststrokes, will go full pelt doggie-paddle and try to swim as fast and strongly as he can. Maybe I can use the grate to push my feet against and get a kickstart to free from the suctioning current. As far as ...

Re: Fawkes: Sewer Rat

Fawkes Will take a deep breath, he has a hardy constitution at least; and fights against the current, flailing arms and legs and kicking as fast as he can as if trying to outrace any crocodiles hungry for his demise. Fawkes: unmodified checks [1d100]=52 [1d100]=77 [1d100]=70 High is good right?

Re: Fawkes: Sewer Rat

Fawkes Possibly more intrigued by the newly set up drip-drum contraption. I will attempt to see if I can manipulate it someway, removing the pipe tube filled with water, balancing that to keep the same dripping beat but also open the door in the other hand.

Re: Strategy Talk: plans & player discussions:

I have usually played that clerics & druids get 'daily spells', I must have grown up playing the same, thinking that the fact clerics start off with the knowledge of all the spells in their list is offset by only being able to cast a few each day. Maybe the key is 'rest period' which usually bu...
