Good to have you on board Gladius. I like the character concept. Giant 3 would make him Large sized wouldn't it? With the Tiny sized Seelia we've got the full gamut of Arcana Unearthed character sizes. With Grufflehead withdrawing and Herobizkit on holiday it would be good to bring in another character.

He could also be another honorary officer, perhaps sharing quarters with the other PCs (although he sounds more like a simple footsoldier type).

Yep! Large sized - from spryte to full grown giant... I like the idea that he's kind of a foot soldier stuck with an honorary rank. Sorry I was so slow to post the write up.

Size: Large

“Amongst my brothers, I was least.  Called puny and runty,
the jape and the joke, picked last and latest in all manner of things.  
While snickering and sniggering, bickering and giggling, 
they schooled me in knocks, clocks, buffets and blows.”

The giant's lips split in a wicked grin, his beard parting to 
reveal a set of plank like teeth.

"But I GREW.  And grew strong.”

His massive eyebrows draw together, black and thick.

“Yet Irontooth’s men came, and they gashed and slashed, 
they battered and beat, they threw down men, and slew 
my brothers.  White hot wroth was I, and much sorrow I 
bore, and so a mighty Oath I swore.”

The giant’s fists clench, and on his forearms, veins stand 
up from his tanned skin.

“Abram and Cain, Shane, Peter and Wilhelm,
I swear to the earth, and again to the sky,
Abram and Cain, Shane, Peter and Wilhelm,
In a year from this day, Irontooth shall die.”

I've been re-thinking some ideas for this game and I think I'm more or less ready to restart. I'm giving you folks first refusal if you want to join in again, using the established characters or new ones if you prefer.

It will be a complete restart, ignoring the events previously. This time, you are all passengers on an aerial ship bound for Candlespire Keep, for whatever reasons you feel your character will be visiting the capital of Peladar. Although a possible fight is not far off, I've tried to preserve more of the Grimm fairy tale concept in the potential adventures.

PS Wow, didn't realise it was a year ago when I last tried this!

Sounds cool to me!

Though, if you want a Grimm Tale feel, is a "gun mage" appropriate? I could rethink my concept if you like.

Nah, gun mage is cool. The sharpshooting character crops up quite a lot in the Grimm tales; the character Adolphus in the Baron Munchausen film is based on a lot of them. Besides, don't forget it's Grimm Tales with Sky Pirates - it's not completely faithful to the source material :)

Looks like the three of you, which is cool. I'll start working on the opening encounter.

If you want something a little more hearty, a Litoran wielding a two-bladed sword would be fun. Not sure what class he would be as of yet.

Up to you which you'd find more fun to play, really. WD's character is a good melee option so in terms of part roles it's not vital, but the nice thing about AE is that the character classes are a little less tightly defined as to what role they play.

Ah, torn. I like that I'm allowed to play a Lynx, but I'm not so much a fan of the Greenbond any more (by design, I hate Vancian magic, but I might have to re-read how magic works in this system; I THINK it means you pick your spell LIST every day but can cast any spell off that list 'at will'). As a Lynx, there really isn't much else in the way of character options except maybe Akashic (which I'm not against, but I always seem to play the skills/social-based characters) or Magister (which is really more of the same).

As for the swordstaff Litoran, Mage Blade seems the most likely choice. Could I get a recap of who's playing what?
