Re: Chapter 1: Through the Pass (from Grenzstadt to Akendorf)
Bjorn makes his way through the main streets of the town, holding his war hammer over his head.
"Citizens of Akendorf! Your leaders have abandoned you! Do not wait for them to defend you from the Orcs! FIGHT FOR YOURSELVES! If you can but raise a sword, follow me!"
He makes his way to some venue where a crowd can gather and stands where he can be seen my the whole of them.
"May we never forget that Almighty Sigmar was once a man, like you and me! When he was but fifteen, he drove an invasion of Orcs from his village! Not long after, he lead an expedition against the very Orcs that captured the King of the Dwarves! After saving the King, he was granted by him his most holy symbol: Ghal-Maraz, the War Hammer!"
He lifts up his war hammer, setting it aflame with his divine magic.
"With his War Hammer, he united the tribes of men into this great Empire! But he did not stop there. He proceeded to purge these lands of the Beastmen and Greenskins! When he had rid the lands of their taint, he was crowned the first Emperor! When peace was challenged by Nagash, ancient lord of the undead, he defeated him single-handedly! He did not stop there! He defeated the Great Enchanter Drachenfel, an evil Liche that lived for fifteen thousand years! His greatest victory of all was that against the first Everchosen of Chaos, Morkar! When none yet stood against the might of Sigmar, he left to become a GOD!"
After pausing for a moment, he unshoulders his shield and beats against it with his flaming war hammer, holding them over his head.
"TAKE UP ARMS WITH ME, IN THE NAME OF SIGMAR, OUR FIRST EMPEROR, OUR GREATEST CHAMPION, ALMIGHTY GOD! LET THE RUIN OF THESE FEL BEASTS BE SMITTEN UPON THESE CITY WALLS! SEND THESE ORCS BACK TO CHAOS FROM WHENCE THEY CAME!"
12:53, Today: Bjorn Jorgensen rolled 9 using 3d6. Captivate 12.
That'll give me a +3 to my subsequent roll, and I'll take the Battle Wizards please, and thank you! ^.^
12:53, Today: Bjorn Jorgensen rolled 13 using 3d6. Public Speaking 12+3=15.
I actually forgot the +1 from the level of Charisma I wanted to add, so that becomes a success by at least 3.
I'm hoping for at least a +2 for a good story so I can get more men :)
