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.

Pashin - Camp of the Cloaked Mercenary

Image
09 Newkolt 349 AC The Herald's performance ran all the way up to midnight. Mercenary thugs in the employ of the Green Dragonarmy arrived shortly thereafter to extort money from the owner, Stewart Donson. Arthur, not wanting to reveal his or Agnes’s presence in the city, did not interfere, an act that sat poorly on the conscience of both travelers. Agnes took Arthur’s hand, "My Knight, my love, we are not going to waste any more time. One of your wizard friends can send our message to my people. Right now, you and I are going to get justice for Donson and everyone else being bullied by this scum!" In the blink of an eye, Agnes the elf-girl was gone, replaced by Ag'nesallynn the Silver Dragon. Arthur grips the hilt of Lawbringer, the tone of his changing, becoming more resonate, "Let's go." Arthur walks out with Agnes ready to fight. The duo takes to the air, flying low across the city, literally skimming the roofs of buildings with the dragon's le...

Yes, But... What if it was Shadowrun (Part 3)?

Image
OK, not actually Shadowrun but Earth-218 with elements of Shadowrun/Cyberpunk incorporated into sort of a neo-noir corporate dystopia on the cusp of achieving interstellar flight .  Hoverbikes have become a staple of city living with thousands plying the skylines of major metropolises from New York and Chicago to Tokyo, Delhi, and London. Commuters and couriers make extensive use of the nimble and efficient transports. Of course, like any other technology, these bikes have been modified by the military, criminals, and adventurous individuals to meet their exacting specifications.       Standard Aeris Exolvuntur Model 47 Hoverbike Crew:  1      Passengers:  1      Cargo:  5 lbs* Init:  +1      Maneuverability:  -4 Top Speed:  410 (41) in air - approx. 232 mph (flight ceiling 15,000') Defense:  10      Hardness:  5  ...

Silvanost - Five of Seven

Image
  09-14 Newkolt 349 AC AT SUMMERWALKER'S WAREHOUSE Grotto looks up from his cookbook and says to Shadow, "Your little Kender friend would have loved these dishes. This book seems to be written towards a halfling's pallet. If you are still hungry, I think I have the ingredients here and there to make this dish." Grotto says swinging the book around and pointing to a simple yet filling recipe. Grotto then walks a quick round of the hospital checking the wounded as he gathers various herbs he had his students obtain. He comes back to the corner where he has set up the makeshift bedroom where he and Shadow were reading. Grotto pulls out his alchemy lab to use as a impromptu kitchen. He makes him and Shadow a nice but filling vegetarian vegetable stew. As he is cooking he says to Shadow, "Maybe with your magic, we can communicate with that disem bodied voice from the war god's temple? Maybe find clues there? We will see what Lorraine thinks . Also, some in the co...

Day Four of the Odinsleep (Boon of the Sea Gods)

Image
Day Four of the Odinsleep (8pm) Raven stops, “Wait a moment, did you say ‘End of the World’?  Do you know what Loki’s plan is?” Korbin cocks his head to one side, scarcely paying attention to the conversation as he eyes the gleaming treasures spread out before him, “Ya, Raven, I guess I do know.” Raven is about to press for more information when he hears “A foolish pair of mortals sought to aid me this morn during the battle.  In doing so, even though I neither asked for nor needed their help, they protected my daughters from peril.  My wife and I would award them a boon and so command them to step forward!” Raven looks up and then back at the crow.  He opens his mouth to speak but notices that a hush has fallen over the room and most eyes are looking his way.  He rises from his seat and makes his way through the crowd, joining Shadow in front of the sea deity.  The dark elf bows his head slightly as a show of respect, “It was an honor fighting alon...

Day Five of the Odinsleep (Saga and Hárbarðsljóð)

Image
Day Five of the Odinsleep (Just after 1:20 am, 5 hours 40 minutes until sunrise) The woman pours Ra’ziir a drink before filling her own cup. “You are one of the mortal warriors who fought alongside Idunn this past day, are you not?” The woman phrases her words as a question but it is obvious from her tone that she already knows this to be true. The old man adds, “I would think that even a Ljósálfr as yourself would require rest after the day’s exertions. What troubles cause you to wander so late into the night?” Ra’ziir accepts the cup and thanks the woman before answering the old man’s question, “Indeed, sir. While the elves of my world need only take the briefest of respites, it is not a daily requirement for us and my thoughts linger on a puzzle of sorts.” Wary of sharing information with these strangers, the elf-emental turns his arcane gaze upon them. As near as the bladesinger can determine, these two are exactly what they appear to be a father and daughter sharing a late-nig...
