What Do You Mean He Can't Climb? He's Like 30th level?!

When I went to write This Post, I was surprised to discover that Raven has basically Zero Ranks in Climb.

None.

Zilch.

Nada.

He's the highest level character in the party and can't climb any better than Farmer Fred or Joe Commoner.  Even worse, he doesn't have any magical items that confer Flight, Levitation, or Climbing ability.

Someone is definitely going to have to spend some points in areas that have been neglected over the years.

Big Bird

Despite assumptions to the contrary, the party is Not going to engage in battle with Big Bird.

Road Trip to the Dragon Isles - Assault on the Governor's Spire

Image
11 Newkolt 349 AC Arthur looked across the courtyard. Bren had upheld his part of the plan. While Phineas kept the Shock N Awe-atron trained on the nearest Dragonarmy soldiers, Altan, Davaa, Bren, and the rest of his deserters crawled out of the sewer. For a moment, Arthur simply smiled. They were an unlikely group. Under different circumstances, they would have likely been enemies. Arthur stepped toward Granite and Agnes. "You two ready?" He placed a hand on each of their shoulders. "Aye, lad," Granite replied as he readied his warhammer. "Been waitin' long enough." Agnes looked up. Reflections of firelight danced in her eyes. "Let us end this, my knight." Bren touched the ogre's shoulder. "Grumak? The door." The ogre started forward, building speed as he went. Davaa watched him go. "That is the entire plan?" Bren did not look away from the guards.  "For that door? Yes." Phineas adjusted his goggles...

The Beast of Grunch Road

Image
New Orleans, founded in 1718 by French colonists, has long been a melting pot of diverse cultures. Steeped in mystery and tales of the supernatural, the city has long been tolerant of the beliefs and practices of the people who live within its borders. Save for one family whose rumored dark deeds were beyond that of which even the most understanding and accepting populace would allow... the Grunches. This family, known widely for its predisposition for albinism and dwarfism, were said to carry out occult practices and dark rites so heinous that they were driven into the swamps outside of the city. Feared and persecuted by their neighbors, the Grunch family more often than not found themselves accused of crimes they had nothing to do with and hunted by those who judged them based on their appearance. After decades of persecution, the Clan patriarch embraced the dark arts his family had been so long rumored to command. Blood sacrifices and pledges of service to diabolical creatures gra...

A Horse By Any Other Name (Part 24)

Image
One Month after the Summer Solstice (Seventh Moon 1000 ALB) Drax spits his borrowed sword out of his mouth and wipes the hot blood from his face, calm as an innocent man at temple. He gives a nod to his companions and wipes the blood from his face before retrieving and sheathing his blade. A smaller knife pierces the thick skin of the "bugbear" and slices upwards towards the abdomen. Finally, the venom sack is revealed. It is a yellow pouch, surrounded by layers of thick muscle. Having little option, Drax cuts some tendons and ligaments free and loops them around both ends of the sack before removing it completely. Once he has hands once more, he will harvest the venom properly. “Well," Kysek quips, "haven’t been pummeled quite like that in some time. I would definitely like to have my nimble elven body back now," as he attempts to regain his composure. “Do those things live in hives with others? Or are they solitary beasts, Abacus?” "They are quite ofte...
