King Skullguy

King Skullguy yells out "Lets go to the forest! I am a fan of trees. You can cut them down and sell the wood for money!"


Hey guys, sorry it took so long for me to post. I didn't abandon you guys. My laptop died and I haven't been able to get on the forums for a few days.

just 1 round.

King Skullguy confers with his tribe for a moment, then returns to the group.

"Okay my tribe wants to go underground, but that's stupid. How about we go to the forest or the Darklands or that Behemoth's Basin place? Those sound good and safe to me."



1st: Black Forest
2nd: Darklands
3rd: Behemoth's Basin


Suddenly, he jumps up, startled.
"HOLY poo poo DOES THAT HORSE TALK?!" He screams, pointing at the unicorn.

"My people don't have any special diet. We just eat normal food. Except for Larry; he's got a problem with gluten, whatever that is." He says, motioning to one of his tribe.

"As much as I hate relying on the weak and frail races, I believe the dryad has the right idea. We need to find a reliable source of fresh water so we can establish a proper base before we run into any pirates. I'd prefer that we have a few tricks up our sleeves before attempting any diplomacy or starting a small war."

"I vote we head east along this coast until we find a river? Who's with me?"

He turns towards his tribe, "Men! Set up the tents while I'm gone!"

"What? Animals don't have feelings! Orcs, do whatever it takes to build a fence!"

"Okay, men! Now you can set up the tents."

With that out of the way, King Skullguy grabs a chicken and murders it with his axe.

To hit: 1d20+5 24
Axe damage: 1d12+4 11

"There, now we should be safe."

El Fappo

Skullguy

Skullguy stands for half an hour just staring up into the trees, his face twisted up in concentration. He looks as if he's on the verge of an aneurysm.

Suddenly, he looks like he's finally formed a coherent thought.

"GUYS! What if we build our camp in the trees themselves? A treetop fortress would keep us safe from most land-based predators. We'd only have to worry about insects and birds and maybe dragons or whatever. I dunno, I've never been in a jungle before! I should write this down and file it under 'long-term goals'!"

Realizing there's something magical going on that he's missing out on, Skullguy casts his own Detect Magic spell, and tries to figure out what all the fuss is about.

Spellcraft: 1d20+5 6

"I don't see why you guys are being such babies about this. It's just an old arcane mark. Probably left here by some idiot cultists before they all got eaten by chupacabras or something."

"Well if you're all scared of a little sigil, I guess it's up to me to check it out."

Skullguy approaches the mark while trying to figure out what the big deal is.

Skullguy was told to investigate, and he's gonna try his hardest to do it.

"Okay so we've got a magic problem. This thing is magic. I'm magic. Szandra, you're magic. Lets butt our heads against this problem until it's solved. If this is all being caused by abnormally overlapping magical auras, let's introduce a couple more of those into the picture. Worst case scenario: the arcane energies somehow stabilize whatever this is. Or we die. Who knows! Also there's some weird writing on this thing that I can't read BUT WHO CARES LETS DO THIS!"

Skullguy casts Daze, Touch of Fatigue, and Stabilize on the eye, hoping for a response.

Skullguy is going to think back and try to remember if this eye symbol has any history of use on our group's home plane.

"Yeah, thanks Zoka. That was one of the dumbest things I've ever done, and I do A LOT of dumb things! But yeah, we should build a fire and camp out for the night. We can use all these weapon cords I've got as fuel for our fire. I have the strangest feeling that they're not all that useful anymore. As for keeping watch, would you guys mind if I don't take the first shift? That dumb magic grass made me tired. Hey I bet we could make a fortune selling it as a sleep-aid!"

"He's right! These rations are terrible! What a fool I have been all this time! He's some kind of magical beast, so he needs a magical feast!"

Skullguy offers the little guy his Potion of Bear's Endurance.

He turns to Uruvi and asks, "What, afraid of a little catfight? Hahahaha!"

Orcs aren't the greatest at puns.

Old king dies, Orcs fight, winner is the new king, and the new king gets a new name. Whatever. If you're afraid of a little pack of displacer beasts," Skullguy puts on a look of mock fright, "then I guess we'll just not adopt a free cat. I HOPE WE GET MICE!"

"I'm sorry, little kitty, but I guess the unicorn hates all of us 'evil' and 'wicked' creatures. Looks like you don't get to be vice-king of the orcs today! Sorry! Maybe next time!"

"Okay you were probably right about this little cutie's family tracking us down and slaughtering us. So here's what we do. Tonight when we make camp, we make sure that I'm sleeping on the side of the group facing where we've come from. That way if they track us down, they'll find me first and see friendship and their hearts will melt and then we'll have SEVERAL displacer beast friends instead of just one. Alright?"

Skullguy trundles to the mouth of the cave. He pulls a bedroll out of his witch's kit, lays down on it, and uses his Sleep hex on himself to give himself 3 rounds of magical sleep, hoping it will ease him into a good night's rest.

"Yeah I usually don't put myself to sleep with magic, but there was a unicorn and some other creatures who were really bothering me. I'm new around here. My tribe came here after our homeland was destroyed. It's a pretty interesting story, you see. The world started flooding and the- hold on, I had a displacer beast with me. Did you see where it went? It was just a little guy and I don't know what I would do if I lost him. He owes me money for the potion I fed him."

Lord Koth posted:

Err, if Waador's okay with that it's fine KittyEmpress, but you seem to have skipped actually confirming that crit. Also, and not as important but technically how it works, you only double flat numbers. A crit just modifies the number of dice rolled, it doesn't double the damage of your initial roll. So a successful crit in this case would be 4d8 + 16, not 2d8 doubled + 16.

edit: Also, and not related to the above, could someone toss me a link to the IRC host? I've switched computers and don't remember what it was.

Edit: Is my current situation happening at the same time as the murderbeast fight? Or is it slightly in the future?

"Yeah an infant displacer beast owes me money. It voluntarily consumed a potion worth a lot of money. I'm an orc, not a charity. Did you see him? He was right here when I went to sleep. And yeah, the unicorn isn't native. It migrated here with me. There was also a dryad, a skeleton, some weird elf thing, and their respective tribes. It's all very confusing and improbable, but it happened." Suddenly, Skullguy has a thought. After wincing slightly from the headache, he asks "Wait! Are there MORE of you here? And do you have anything to do with the weird eye-shaped rune thing I saw out in the hills? I tried using magic on it to see what would happen, but nothing happened and it's been bothering me all day. Usually when I cast a spell, something will happen."

"Oh so you're dead. Yeah that clears up a lot of questions I had." Skullguy finally stands up and grabs his axe. "Let's go see if I activated it! Can you leave this cave or are you haunting it? I don't know how ghosts work."

"Well I'm an Orcish witch-king. Let the possibilities sink in. You tell me where your corpse is and someday I might have enough power to resurrect you. That'd be pretty great. As for what I want... How long ago did you die? Do you know anything about any good treasure on this island? Know anything about the pirates? Or a safe place to start building a civilization?"

"That all sounds good. I guess living underground or in a cave would suit my people well. That treasure thing you said caught my attention, though. Help me out, here. What do you need out of the vault and what do I do with it when I find it? And if I find your corpse, can I have your things? I was going to steal everything on this island that isn't bolted down anyway, but since I ran into you I might as well ask your position on all of it."

"Yeah I'll go find your crown. I've got to get my people settled into the island first, though. After we get secure I'll definitely look for the crown." Skullguy looks around the cave and sighs.
