Hah so do I, but when I use it and it bites me in the ass I'm pretty sure I won't.

It ranges from specific resistances, to mass revivals, to mass healing, to super human strength and so on.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Maybe toss a couple of things like turning the targets bright orange or giving them gills, to make things interestinger.

[Alexandria]

Hmmm, better bump up to a d20 to fit all these and bump buffs up to 4.

[Imp]

Character Bio: Hello, my name's Joe, and this here is Joe. I was born in this village somewhere, Ara something it was. Fool thing burned down ages ago. I think it was right about the time I was thirty. Wasn't that when I caught that guy in my shed, trying to steal my firestarters? Anyway, I went and set up a nice log cabin in the woods. What's that, Sasha? Oh, right, I found some books in the cabin about all sorts of godly stuff. So I figured since I couldn't read them, I might as well use them as fertilizer. Reading wasn't created until '66, see. So I rip out the pages and dump them onto my fields. Well, Sasha said I should've just used them as kindling, but I didn't think of that at the time. So I was working out in the fields one day, and I had a nice conversation going with my turnips, when someone just interrupted me to spout some nonsense about gods fighting or something. So I say, "Hey, wait till I finish my conversation!" My turnips were about finished though, so then I turned back to this voice, and he told me something about magic powers. Well, I said, "How do I know you have any magic powers?" He said they were free though, so I took them anyway. I had to sign some buyers satisfaction contract to get them. I didn't really read it carefully, but there was something there about customer service and the god of nature. Well, my cabin burned down in '56, so I went to live in this town, Wa something or other. After about five years, someone came to my house to try to tell me they didn't take birds in the town. I think I dumped him in that nice field I found after I gave him a good wallop for disrespecting his elders. My house burned down again in '52, so I moved to a different one. I think that was about the time I took a trip to the city for a few months to buy more firestarters. They had a nice gnome fair there, really nice statues. Garden gnomes were created there in '72. In '74 the shoddy wood of my house fell apart, so I went to live on the beach in a nice shack. I got a nice feathered cap there that I really liked. Well, I lived there until '96, when I got tired of the sharks, and moved inland to this nice desert village. I lived there a good while until '24, when it burned down. Serves them right for building in a desert. I wandered around for a good six years after that and saw the sights. Then some guy named Clog or something picks me up and dumps me in some dungeon and hides my firestarters. Some people have no manners, taking a man's firestarters like that. Well, that's about where I am now, so that's that. Say, have you seen any of my firestarters around?

((That's fine Imp. The Con bonus is how many points your con score is about the average, which is 10. No bio is fine, so a brief one is as well. Also, sorry, Remuthra, but Imp makes 5. I'll put you on reserve. In other news, we can get started!

Quickly, the five of you dash down the staircase, not wanting to face the god sober. You feel space warp around you as you descend the stairs. Strange cries echo throughout the cavern. The source of one, however, you can clearly see. A goblin stands in the dungeon, making several gestures.

In cases that I list off multiple character's names, please only read yours. Also, note that you can tell others that are near you what is happening in the thread without needing to wait for an update.

Kyle: You're not sure, but it seems to be vaguely threatening.


Ismiral: You discern that he is not trying to be threatening, but as to what he IS saying, you haven't a clue.


Alexis: You discern as well that he is non-hostile.


Hactiel: You know from the body language and inflections that he is saying something to the extent of "Spare me! I am an
exile!"


Aunica: You think he may be hostile.

[Alexandria]

Step out in front of the group and attempt to convince it to join me as my wise cracking goblin sidekick. Use awesome hand gestures if it can't understand me. Attempt to use magic to allow it to speak with us normally first.

(( One thing I meant to ask, can we do basic magic without spells? Like enabling it to understand our language? ))

[flame99]

You can use very basic spells such as that without actually using a spell to do it, but you need to take the spell when you level up.

Also, I honestly cannot tell if you're being serious, Remuthra.

[kj1225]

Point at it with whatever weapon I have. If none point at with my nose.

[Remuthra]

First person bio . A certain amount of that text may or may not be inaccurate, as evidenced by the continuity errors throughout. You can tell this is serious business, though, because I took the time to write all that backstory.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Use sign language and what little Goblin I know to try and convince it that we do not mean to kill it.

Use normal language and what little I know about my companions to try and convince them not to kill it.

[Alexandria]

I'll work mine out in a moment, or rather I'll copy 90% of the description and bio for the other 10 versions of this character .
It's a serious time saver when you can just copy and paste.

This time I'm not a sexy soldier or a sexy guard or a sexy survivor. Oh no, I'm a sexy priestess .


" I'm gonna try and speak with it and see if I can help it understand, maybe it'll join us. I think we could use an extra sword.

[Imp]

Stay near the front of the group, a half pace behind and one pace beside the one closest to the goblin, a hand on my weapon's hilt and ready to draw at the first sign of either actual aggression from the goblin or fear from my companions.  Every 20 seconds or so I will scan to either my right or my left, to notice if there's anything else I should be aware of.

[Weirdsound]

Ismiral remains near the back of the party, fully content to let the others deal with the Goblin. If it was trying to say something, it wouldn't likely be anything she cared about, and if it was a trap, she'd rather not get caught in it.

Remain near the rear of the party and examine the room for interesting features while others put up with the greenskin.

[flame99]

Alexis attempts to communicate with the goblin, but has little in the way of luck.
Several members of the party either ignore him or begin to poise for a fight, however Hactiel quickly calls them off and begins to recall the Universal Sign Language, pervasive throughout almost all sentient creatures. The goblin, it would seem, is one of those. He quickly signs back his thanks.

NEW SKILL: Sign Language (Hactiel)

Edit: Also, the weapons that you each have are as follows:
Kyle: Shortbow (Damage 1d6, you can hit monsters without a chance of them hitting you back)
Ismiral: Morningstar (Damage 1d8)
Alexis: See above
Hactiel: Quarterstaff (Damage 1d4)
Aunica: Battleaxe (Damage 1d10)
