Rogue's Gallery - Valley of the Dead DnD 3.5

This is the RG thread for my campaign Valley of the Dead. I will post the players/PCs/XP in this first post once i've OK them.

Dakyras (Waylander)

Neutral (Good) Human Male, Rogue 5 / Fighter 1 / Sword Sage 2
XP: 28,000

Languages: Common, Elven, Halfling

[sblock=Appearance]
Dakyras is a medium build man with shoulder length brown hair and cold gray eyes that have seen too much. He has handsome yet hard features (Clint Eastwood comes to mind), with no real distingishing facial or bodily traits. He wears his two short swords hiden within his dark cloak, and other plain dark clothing to cover him. He does not stand out, nor does he wish to, in a crowd.

[sblock=Background]
The falcon swooped over the mountain peaks of Halrathen. The drizzle just barely impeding her flight through the bleak late afternoon. It would soon reach the only clearing at the bottom of this hostile land – the village of Forchmore. The village was barely populated. It’s only purpose to serve as the last way station for those crossing to Kilron Athorah, a two week journey through the dangerous mountain path. The falcon landed on her usual perch of a barely functioning store, screeching once to announce her arrival. Yameen, a grossly overweight and bored storekeeper of over forty winters, wheezed to the outside porch of his store, excusing himself from the only customer he has seen for days. Even in the fading light he could see the expensive ring around the falcon’s left leg. The ring is probably worth more than I will make in this lifetime. Probably more than what my children would earn too. He knew better than to try and take the ring, or anything else that belonged to the Grey man. He quickly fed the bird some short strips of chicken. As the falcon tore into the meat, he reached into his apron’s pocket and produced a small sealed leather tube and tied it carefully to the other leg. My fee will come later he consoled himself. The bird finished its meal quickly and flew off without a backward glance nor any recognition of gratitude.
The bird flew effortlessly back across the mountain clearing the peaks for a second time, ascending ever higher. Within half an hour, as the last rays of light were fading, its sharp eyes sighted the bustling city of Kilron Athorah and the small islands within its large lagoon. It sped towards one of those islands, the isle of Dorona. This was a privately owned island, bought off in gems by a rich nobleman a few years past. Landing in a private garden within the island’s palace the bird rested upon a short pedestal, shaking her wings from the rain. Within moments an elderly man came to her and took her to her cage within the mansion. Removing the small tube, the elderly man waded through several corridors until he reached a large ornate door. Looking down both sides of the corridor, the old man knocked twice in rapid procession, than four times at slower rate, and than once more before entering. The room inside was lavishly decorated with thick exotic rugs, heavy wooden furniture and well lit by several golden braziers. A middle aged man dressed in a dark blue satin robe fastened by a silver belt was sitting behind his desk scribbling on a scroll. Without looking up from his work, he tapped on a silver bowl with his quill. The elderly servant placed the tube inside the bowl, bowed and left the room as swiftly and silently as he had come. After the servant left the room, the Grey one stopped what he was preoccupied with and opened the tube. Inside were twenty small diamonds and a short one line note reading – “Baron Thymor of Ermos – Waylander”.
“Waylander”, mused the Grey man, whom some think is nothing but a loose demon, a blood drinker, a vicious killer. Not many knew the secret of Dakyras or Waylander as he was known for the call of the assassin. The Grey man was in fact the only man alive who knew the tale. Here was an unusual man for this profession. He was not driven by greed, violence, or power like the other assassins in the Grey man’s employ. The man was soulless – not evil but lacking a soul. After the brutal slaying of his wife and two children his only ambition was to find the bandits responsible, and eliminate them one by one. For four years Waylander scoured the continent finding seven of the eleven men and ruthlessly slaying them. Some of them were no different than the scoundrels they were when they did the foul deed. Some of them settled down and started families of their own. It did not matter to Waylander, his revenge was settled in blood and only in blood. The man would take on other cases to fund his search and kill mission. Most of the assassins the Grey man knew were cowards, afraid that justice would soon befall them in turn. They would refuse dangerous or complicated tasks for fear of the noose. Or too stupid to be afraid, believing in their mastery in the art of death as a source for their immortality. Not so Dakyras. He had no fear of death, for he died a long time ago. And on the day of his death Waylander was born. You are so good at what you do Waylander that sometimes I wonder if Dakyras was ever real or just skin waiting to be shed. But what will you be when all your targets have been sent to the netherworld? Will you still remain the killer you were meant to be or fade into the dark horrors of history? Well, until then you shall make me rich for your reputation brings more cash than three of your colleagues. Dipping his quill once more he quickly scribbled the name of the next victim.

Peth Hethas, Archivist/Sage

Peth Hethas

Lawful Neutral Male Whisper Gnome Archivist 8

Patron Deity: none

EXP: 28000
Strength 8 (-1) (Base 10, -2 racial)
Dexterity 12 (+1) (Base 10, +2 racial)
Constitution 14 (+2) (Base 12, +2 racial)
Intelligence 22 (+6) (Base 18, +2 level, +2 item)
Wisdom 16 (+3) (Base 16)
Charisma 8 (-1) (Base 10, -2 racial)


Size: Small
Age: 62
Height: 3' 4"
Weight: 44 lb
Eyes: Blue-Gray
Hair: Gray
Skin: Tanned

[sblock=Appearance]
Peth is short even for a gnome; his appearance is thoroughly nondescript, to the point where many of his associates fail to recognize him as often as not. He generally wears his shoulder-length hair pulled back in a tight braid, wound and tied with gray silk nearly the color of his hair. When out and about in a safe haven, he tends towards functional, unadorned clothing of the type favored by explorers; when in his role as sometime Sage, however, he dons fancier clothing fashioned after the robes of an ancient scholarly sect. Outside of havens, his blueshine chain shirt glimmers just at the edge of vision as he slips from shadow to shadow almost unconsciously.
[/sblock]

[sblock=Personality]
Knowledge is Peth's oldest and deepest love, and it is highly unlikely anything will ever dislodge it. He is happiest prowling through ancient detritus, either physically in some ruined section of the City, or metaphorically while translating some newly discovered text. However, unusually among seekers after ancient knowledge, he feels little possessiveness for his hard-won information, provided fair exchange is given. He revels in the role of Sage, in the dispensing of valued information, not least because it leads to respect and associations that might otherwise be denied a whisper gnome. Nonetheless, Peth has few friends, none terribly close, but his love affairs tend to be highly emotionally charged, if brief, relationships.

Peth cannot stand being lied to, and will only lie himself in dire circumstances; dishonesty and disorganization are anathema to him. He will often refuse to deal further with someone who has told him even a relatively minor lie, and this reputation for fair dealing is as well known as the breadth of his knowledge among treasure-seekers and their contacts.

Peth set the foaming tankard of ale on the edge of the table above him, then heaved his slight frame into the too-tall chair. Wriggling into a more comfortable position, he drew the mug closer to him with his right hand, and with the other opened his worn, stained journal to the first blank page. He paused, downed nearly a third of the ale, then pulled a tattered piece of parchment, an inkpot, and a pen from the backpack laying on the table beside him. Laying the parchment carefully next to the journal, he dipped the pen into the ink and began to copy its contents into his book.

Several mugs later, Peth finished the last flourish on the last line. He sprinkled sand carefully over the newly finished page, then returned the ink, pen, and parchment to his pack and closed his journal. Weary and sore as he was, a sense of accomplishment at saving one more piece of ancient knowledge from the ruins of the past suffused his soul. He hoisted his mug one more time and drained the last of his ale, then hopped lightly off the chair and headed for the market to see if any new antiquities had shown up since he'd last been in this safe haven, three weeks ago.

Wandering through the market, searching for treasures among the fakes, the mundane, and the just plain weird, Peth mused on how his fortunes had increased in the last few years. Peth had never been much interested in clerics and gods; the whole idea felt too much like fakery and performance to the utterly honest gnome. Yet the powers those clerics wielded were fascinating; Peth had long felt there must be rules to divine magic itself, rules that transcended mere deities. His breakthrough had come with a lucky find, a tattered scrap of an ancient text inscribed with strange runes in a glittering ink that had not faded, even though it must have been several hundred years old at least. It had taken Peth nearly six months just to begin to translate the scroll, a time that led him to begin building up one of the most comprehensive libraries of ancient knowledge in his area--a fact that occasionally brought other treasure-seekers to his door, seeking advice and information.

The key to understanding his collection lay first in learning to read the glittering writing, and to do that Peth began searching out other, similar writings. Finally he discovered what seemed to be a beginning lesson -- it referred to itself as a "prayerbook" -- covering the principles of learning divine magic, without any reference to deities or external powers. For days he struggled to understand the lesson and the scroll, until finally the entirety of the spell contained within it was his. He closed his eyes, chanted the strange syllables of the spell, and felt a surge of pure living energy well up within him. Opening his eyes, he saw that, as the prayer book had described, a faint nimbus of golden light surrounded his hands, the power of the spell awaiting its release. He touched one hand to his chest, experimentally, and the nimbus flowed into the rest of his body, leaving him refreshed and invigorated--quite aside from his pride at mastering the spell! It wasn't until nearly ten minutes later that he noticed a cut he'd given himself making dinner the night before was gone as if it had never been.

After that, Peth's studies began to accelerate. Three months later he had managed to research a spell specifically for the translation of magical texts--and a month after that he had mastered everything his current library had to offer.

It wasn't enough. The pure joy of discovering a new spell, or a description of some ancient experiment, beast, or item, or even an otherwise banal journal entry by some millenia-ago writer, drove Peth onward. He began to establish contacts with others who collected the detritus of ancient civilizations, cautiously. His library grew by leaps and bounds, for a while. Then it seemed he'd tapped out the things he could buy or borrow, and his gaze turned outwards, away from the safe havens of the city in which he lived.

With his deep knowledge of the creatures and constructs common to ancient ruins, the spells he'd wrested from his writings, and his own innate ability to pass unnoticed, Peth had many advantages over other treasure hunters. At first he restricted his movements to relatively safe areas, but those same areas had already been picked over many times before, and before long he was forced to travel further afield, into unexplored and more dangerous areas. Each time he returned with more treasure -- gold for his expenses, but more importantly a few scraps of paper, or an item that still held the flickering auras of divine power; at the very least, his journals held more notes and drawings of the creatures and things he'd found on his journey.

Unfortunately, the last few trips had resulted in fewer and fewer interesting finds. Then Peth heard of a new mystery, a valley that was suddenly producing all the hallmarks of a really great ancient ruin recently come to light: disappearances, apparitions, and unexplainable beasts.

Peth began packing at once; surely his array of knowledge would be indispensable in discovering and containing whatever dangers the vallery held, and just as surely there would be many interesting things for him to add to his collection.

His eye fell on the map unfurled on his table, a single small dot drawing his eye far out of proportion to its size. "Angelwatch," he murmured, pausing for a moment in his packing.

[sblock=Background] Lo, that you should know I was once a common man, berifted of the blessings of Helm. My friends, let me tell you the tale of how I became a servent of The Watcher, how the mighty Guardian of the Realms, The Viligalante One was ever so vigilinte with a poor boy from the south lands. In my youth I was but a normal boy of normal parents and in the days as a younger manhood I was a simple tradesman's apperentice, a worker in metal. When I reached the first day of my adulthood and my apperentiship was at an end I found I could not go out into the world and be a master of my craft. The will to forge and toil was no longer a part of me. I felt
out of place, so I left to search out my calling. I traveled years and years and saw wonders that have their own tales to tell, but the story that led me here I will tell. I was being idle one day after a long weeks marching (and this after almost three years searching) I found myself under an orchard tree in a valley of green life and blue water. I watched with lazily eyes, heavy for sleep as the view of the land changed. As I sat there with my back to the tree, the grass began to brown and then blacken, the sky began to cloudover and turn to grey. The trees... the trees began to twist and shrivel until they became but skeletal images of themselves, lean, listfull, and bear.
It was a sign! A vision givin to me by Helm himself, a warning of things to come and a glimpse of where my future would lead. Helm saw fit to choose me as his champion in the realms of mortals, to stop the vision from taking form in reality. Here at the Valley of the Dead I will stop this future doom from taking hold in the world. I will vanquish whatever foe who would try to stop me in my quest. And I will do all this in Helm's name and give him praise in all things.


FEAR THEE NOT MY FRIENDS!!! For we are under the eye of The Watcher.

Sensalar is tall and broadly built, with fine features. Years of living amongst the wilds make him seem aloof and difficult to approach. He posseses blue eyes with an almost metallic quality and silver hair. His skin is a fading tan starting to appear weathered from years in the wilds.
He speaks in a soft but compelling voice. He cares little anymore for the care of his clothing and has possesed the samebrown and green traveling outfit for many years and it's patched haphazardly in laces. Over his armor he wears a thin shroud that is barely noticable under his aging outfit. He keeps his scimitar clearly visible and carries a gnarled walking stick which doubles as a quarterstaff at need.

[sblock=History]
Born to a Paladin and priestess Ilmater, Maximus started his training early. He didn’t have the mentality for the divine arts, but did his best. He was more capable as a warrior of the church, and his training for paladin hood started. His training went well.

When Maximus was about nine, he was given the task to see to the needs of a elder of a village destroyed by orcs. Maximus befriended him and was taught how to use his words and personality to get things done, instead of always referring to the blade. Maximus went along with the citizens when they were escorted back to their village. He was appalled by the destruction that the orcs caused, but was surprised when the villagers had already been buried. The elder explained that one of the fist of Raziel must have done it when they cleansed the village. When asked what they were, the elder said that the fist of Raziel are holy warriors that are called to destroyed evil wherever it is.

Maxmus, with a dislike for the evil orcs in his mind, became determined to join fist of Raziel. So after achieving his paladinhood, he decided to leave the church and seek them out. Not long after he left, Maximus learned he had a bad sense of direction. As such, he got lost often and just started wandering, taking care of problems that came up around him, helping people work out problems or killing a monster or two.

After years of travel he located them and shortly thereafter, joined them. After learning their arts, he was sent out to purge evil, and once again traveled, mostly alone. Maximus would occasionally travel with other adventurers or fellow fists of Raziel. He eventually got wind of the troubles of Angelwatch and started off, a few weeks later he has finally arrived.

Age: 23
Height: 5’7”
Weight: 130
Hair: Dirty Blonde
Eyes: Brown
Appearance: Latham is pretty plain looking. Not unattractive but easily overlooked. His features are nearly effeminate with his long eyelashes accentuating this. His average height is accompanied with his slight build. He keeps his dirty blonde hair medium length, allowing it to fall over a headband. He keeps a blue wool jacket that he wears over a vest and shirt.

Background
Even at a young age, Latham Brack was able to read people. He showed the traits of an empathic and was quick enough to know what to say in each situation. Always mature for his age, he never played with the other children. A man, Tuncay, spotted the atypical behavior and tested the young boy. After passing with flying colors, Latham was apprenticed to Tuncay’s own apprentice, Prysler, who was ready to move on from a pupil to a teacher.

Over the course of his studies, Latham’s aptitude in Enchantment shined, just like Tuncay thought it would. The power to enter minds and compel or suggest things came naturally to the student. So in time the moment for the “Enchanter’s Test” approached. A large group of Teachers and Students would engage a variety of “monsters”, collecting a so-called menagerie to perform tests on and analyze. For the Enchanters, a natural choice was the illithids, who performed their own unique control over minds.

Something went awry, however, and the divinations were not as accurate as was assumed. True, there was a Githzerai-Illithid battle, but what wasn’t known was that there was a Mind-Flayer Sorceror amongst the “monsters.” It was a fierce battle, Latham himself no match for an illithid’s powers, so he did what he could, avoid and manipulate others. He found a Githzerai and had this creature protect him throughout the encounter.

The effects of the enchantment over this Githzerai lasted a bit long than Latham would’ve preferred, but after a while it became handy having this monk around. So, sans master, Latham and Keht searched for knowledge which could lead to eventual power.

Vitals
Height: 6’2”
Weight: 165
Appearance: Exhibiting the typical traits of a Githzerai, Keht is tall and lanky with a strong musculature. He shrouds himself in plain garb, a hooded cloak hiding his features, his yellow eyes dull. White linen wraps his hands and feet, and he carries naught with him but a necklace.

Background
Keht was included in his first rrakkma, more as an inactive participant, as the monastery he came from was wont to do with untested monks. But the information about the illithids they were hunting was incorrect and they were vastly outnumbered. The mentors and the masters were killed, their brains ingested, the students who remained were enslaved. However, this fate did not last long, as there were more hunters after these illithids, and they took advantage of the distraction and struck. They were humanoids from the material, and they used magicks and blades. Many of them perished, but not before the last of the mind-flayers were destroyed. One of these humanoids had charmed Keht to fight the illithids on his behalf, and after the dust settled there were only a handful left; no mind-flayers, no Githzerai. The humanoid, Latham, had lost his master in the battle, and Keht, feeling beholden to the man, decided to work off his life-debt.[/sblock]

Alevyth Balwer

Lawful Good Male Changeling Fighter 2 / Paladin 3 / Warshaper 3

Patron Deity: Helm and Ilmater, as Alevyth seeks to protect others from suffering, be it through force of arms, or taking the burden himself.

EXP: 28,000

Natural Form-
Strength 14 (+2)
Dexterity 16 (+3) (base 15, +1 level )
Constitution 16 (+3) (Base 15, +1 level)
Intelligence 12 (+1) (base 12, )
Wisdom 12 (+1)
Charisma 14 (+2)

Shapechanged Form-
Strength 16 (+3) (+2 Morphic Body)
Dexterity 16 (+3) (base 15, +1 level )
Constitution 18 (+4) (Base 15, +1 level, +2 Morphic Body)
Intelligence 12 (+1) (base 12, )
Wisdom 12 (+1)
Charisma 14 (+2)


Size: Medium
Age: 24
Height: 5' 8"
Weight: 130 lb
Eyes: Crystal Blue
Hair: Light Blonde
Skin: Pale-ish blue

The above traits are of Alevyth's true form, not his typically chosen form.

[sblock=Appearance]
Alevyth is almost never in his normal form, primarily because he feels his appearance is not at all attractive or suiting to his pursuits. Rather, he takes the form of a human male which he deems more suiting to his disposition.

In this form, Alevyth's height and weight remain unaltered. His eyes almost always remain the same color, though his hair is always more full(not whispy and such, but a full head of hair) and falls to his shoulders, almost always in a ponytail when in armor, concealed beneath the plates. His human form is well-muscled and lean rather than bulky, and while he wears bulky plate, he is not altogether clumsy either.

His skin is a very light tan, seeming almost as if he hardly had any sun exposure at all. It is also completely smooth, without a blemish. Some might find his 'perfect' appearance off-putting, but Alevyth doesn't realize how 'unreal' his appearance really is.

Alevyth was born in a somewhat distant land, orphaned amongst a benevolent family of humans, who took him in despite his strange, inhuman appearance. As he grew older, he learned to control his race's affinity for altering shape, and at his parents behest, chose a single appearance to use to slide into an identity less likely to create friction with society. With that choice made, Alevyth lived most of his life as a normal 'human' boy.

As he grew older, the boy showed promise in his negotiating skills, avoiding conflicts and resolving problems without the use of his blade. However, more often than not, he'd end up getting into fights with the other kids, because the boy also had a habit of attempting to solve problems people didn't always want solved. Due to the number of scuffles the boy got into, his parents arranged for him to become a squire to a Knight. While he channeled no divine might, the man was virtuous and sought to uphold justice and protect the less fortunate.

Alevyth learned from the man, but in combat lacked the rigid conduct that was required of a knight. He took advantages the Knight refused. And so, Alevyth eventually parted ways with the Knight, though not on entirely unpleasant terms. While the boy did not fight as the noble tried to teach him, he did grasp the man's generous and forgiving nature. Alevyth returned home for a short while, before deciding to wander, aiding the weak and less able with the skills he'd learned, shouldering burdens others would not.

During his travels, Alevyth slowly discovered he was able to simply sense when a person was evil, should he simply concentrate on them for a short span. Likewise, many could tell he meant well upon his arrival. It seemed he'd been granted the gifts he'd heard attributed to Paladins. The boy was curious what deity had gifted him, but imagined it was either Ilmater or Helm, given his tendency to protect those in need of aid.

Additionally, the youth had taken to experimentation with his own unique abilities during this time, learning to use the ability to enhance his own physical abilities when in his chosen forms. He could not apply them in his own form, however... to his chagrin.

In his travels, he began learning more of the undead, and found himself pitying the beings condemned to it. To that end, Alevyth vowed to ease the suffering of such beings, learning to combat their cursed forms and grant them release and respite. And so he traveled, accumulating items to aid with his holy work and protect himself, aiding those he came across who truly needed aid.

When the young man heard of the trouble's in Angelwatch, he traveled long and hard to reach the place so that he may lend a hand in ending the suffering of both the living and the dead.

Thok was a fair name for an ugly boy, son of an orc chieftain that raided the villaje of Last Lights, in a far away land. His mother never wanted him, upon birth, the poor woman left the child and hopefully the memories of the worst day of all her life, abandoned in the middle of the plains that surround the farming town of Last Lights.
Thok was hopeless, just a little black spot on the green grass.
If someone said destiny is tricky, that day proved that person true.
9 month after the first raid, the orcs returned to raid the village again, and found the baby halforc in the middle of the night. They take the baby with them, and tried to raid the village, but this time, they found them prepared. Not many orcs escaped the battle with their lives.
Again, fortunately, Thok survived.
He grew up in the brutality of an orc community, many times having to choose to kill or be killed.
Although he was destined to be a powerful war chief as his father was, something his mother gave him never would let that happen. Thok was compassionate and caring.
Ashamed for that, he abandoned his village and wandered the land, searching for understanding and finding none. [/sblock]
