Heroes of the Lance

HolyMan · Aug 18, 2010

This is the RG for the Dragonlance game about to start, a few spots are left (one for adventure 1, but still need a Goldmoon when she is allowed to be a PC, Elistan, Laurana, Tika, Aron, Derek, Alhana, and others).

Ok to the players only quote your "main" character here in the RG that way if someone comes to take over a character we don't have two many copies hanging around.

Main Characters & Player:

Tanis - Strahd Von Zarovich
Raistlin - Walking Dad
Tasselhoff - possum
Flint - WarShrike
Sturm - Orius
Riverwind - ghostcat

I may need a little twiking on some stuff not sure the characters were in 1st edition and had no proficiencies and such. But I think I got them rounded out pretty good.

[sblock=History]
Caramon, a giant of a warrior, is Raistlin'?s twin brother and Kitiara's half-brother, He could not be more unlike his siblings. He is honest and open where Raistlin is cynical and reserved, friendly and compassionate where Kitiara is wild and passionate.

The twins were born when Kitiara was eight. One twin was strong and healthy, but the other nearly died at birth. Because their mother was frail, it fell to Kitiara to raise the two. Caramon, the first-born twin, showed himself to be a warrior born. As he grew, he outstripped other boys his age, always being the tallest and strongest around. He quickly acquired fighting skills, and was soon a champion swordsman.

Although the twin brothers were nothing alike, Caramon loved his brother Raistlin dearly, and frequently protected him from bullies. When Raistlin discovered his natural aptitude for magic, no one was more pleased for him than Caramon, even though Raistlin?s new studies made him a poor companion. Caramon, an outgoing and social person, had many friends, including young Sturm Brightblade. One day, he met Tasslehoff Burrfoot, a kender, and so the twins became involved with the companions.

Caramon accompanied Tanis and Flint on trips in the Haven/Solace area, and grew into a powerful fighting man. At the age of twenty, he and Raistlin met with their companions in the Inn of the Last Home for what would be the last time in many long years. For Raistlin had been granted an opportunity to take the Test-an experience that would make him into a powerful mage . . . if he survived it. Caramon, ever faithful, accompanied Raistlin. He has never talked about what happened there, but the Test created a darker bond between the two brothers.

[sblocl=Personality]
Caramon is easy-going, strong, and shy around women. He is trustworthy to a fault. He is not secretive (except about the Test) and has no inner doubts. His one obsession is polishing his sword. He is very protective of his little brother and very fond of him, but doesn't understand him in the slightest. He is often embarrassed by his brother's rudeness and apologizes for him. His motto is, "There is no problem that cannot be solved by strength." Money is nice, but not important.

Caramon is occasionally impulsive, and doesn't always know his own strength. He is left-handed. His intelligence is not great- in contrast to his brother. What he appears to be on the surface is what he is in his soul. His only private depth lies in his love for his brother.

Caramon is a skilled outdoorsman as well as a fighter. Because of his great strength, he carries enough weapons and armor to be virtually a "walking arsenal".

He is content to follow Tanis lead, and deeply respects Sturm, though he wishes both of them would loosen up a bit. [/sblock]

The travels of me and my brother Raistlin took us over the Kharolis Range, though we moved to the southwest, beyond the realms of the Elves. We searched for the fabled Towers of High Sorcery. Deep in the dark mists that always seem to cover that land, we found those towers that have long been hidden to men. They appeared out of the mists. [/sblock]

[sblock=History]
Raistlin is a magic-user of great natural talent, but he has paid a heavy price for his skill.

Raistlin is Caramon’s mirror-image twin brother and Kitiara’s half-brother (they share the same mother). He could not be more unlike his twin, for he is secretive, cynical, and distrustful. Nevertheless, he loves his brother—perhaps Caramon is the only thing Raistlin truly loves.

The twins were born when Kitiara was eight. One twin - Caramon - was strong and healthy, the other - Raistlin - was born sickly and frail. It seemed for a while that Raistlin might die in infancy, but Kitiara’s nursing saved his life. Their mother died when the twins were young, and Kitiara took over their upbringing.

It was clear from the very beginning that Raistlin was a weakling, and Kitiara despaired of him. Caramon blossomed into a healthy, powerful fighter, and frequently protected his "younger" brother from bullies. Raistlin grew to a bitter hatred of all bullies, and developed a strong desire for justice. The experiences of his childhood soured him on most people, and he grew cynical and bitter at an early age. He showed promise as a scholar and learned to read before he went to school.

When Raistlin was five, his father took him to a village fair, where he watched a local illusionist perform. The illusionist was not very good, but Raistlin was totally absorbed in the performance. When the boy returned home that evening, he could perform every one of the illusionist's tricks. His family was amazed. Magic, his father realized, was Raistlin's key to survival in this world.

He was taken to a well-respected mage and presented as a prospective pupil. The mage was not overly impressed with the boy, especially because of his weak health and his unlikable personality. But while the mage and Raistlin's father talked, the boy wandered into another room and began to read a huge book. The mage was about to take the book away, but then realized that the boy could read magic without study! And so Raistlin was accepted as a pupil. He learned rapidly, and quickly outstripped the other students. At an unusually young age, he was invited to present himself for the Test—he would come back a powerful magician, or not at all.

Caramon accompanied Raistlin on that fateful trip. Raistlin never talks about what happened there, but the terrible ordeals broke his health, turned his skin the color of gold, and changed the pupils of his eyes into hourglasses. His eyes are a terrible curse—for through them he sees time rushing past,and everything die and wither in its time. [/sblock]

[sblock=Personality]
Raistlin is nicknamed "The Sly One," for he is avaricious, cynical, and secretive. He always expects the worst of others. He is devoted to his brother, yet secretly envies him. He has good qualities, though he works very hard at keeping them hidden: he hates bullies (being a weakling himself). He supports and sympathizes with the downtrodden, though he will not admit his concern. He wears red robes to show his neutral alignment. He has a strong sense of justice, but little sense of mercy. Due to his weak health and a lingering lung infection, he speaks in a soft, whispering voice. [/sblock]

[sblock=Character Card]
At the Towers of High Sorcery, my brother Caramon and I passed great tests set by the spirits of long-dead sages and wizards. The tests wore heavily upon me. Now I see the world through these hourglass eyes, and much of my health has left me. Yet the magic within me now might give us greater aid. As we departed that place, I recalled the words of an ancient
sage: "Use your powers well," he said, "for the time is at hand when your strength must rebalance the world." [/sblock][/sblock]

[sblock=History]
Tasslehoff Burrfoot is a Kender, a diminutive race found throughout the world of Krynn. Like all kender, he left home at the age of 18 because he was stricken by wanderlust, the uncontrollable urge to travel and make the great map of every land. No kender in wanderlust has ever completed the "great map," but most kender have great collections of maps, some useful, most obsolete. Tasslehoff is no exception. Tas's map was especially confused by an unfortunate incident with a magic ring of teleportation that kept transporting him to unknown lands without notice. No one but Tas ever saw the ring - or believed the story, either.

Tasslehoff was born somewhere in northern Ergoth, and is a member of the Stoat clan of kender. His parents traveled in the Haven/Solace region, where they studied the lives of the plainsmen. (What the plainsmen thought of the kender is nowhere recorded.) Tas acquired skills as a "handler" (the word "thief" is considered impolite), and used it extensively to satisfy his curiosity about everything. It was that curiosity that led to him taking a bracelet from Flint Fireforge's stall at a market. Flint was outraged, but Tanis decided he liked the little kender, and so they all became friends. (Flint, although he has never said a nice word about the kender, actually likes him a good deal.) [/sblock]

[sblock=Personality]
Tasslehoff's most endearing - and frustrating - characteristic is his insatiable curiosity and fearlessness. These traits often get him into trouble. His curiosity frequently drives him to see what other people have in their pockets and packs (Raistlin, in particular, hates this), and he can easily forget that he has "borrowed" a particular item. He collects odds and ends - he will never pass up a chance to acquire a map of any description - and often surprises himself with what he has in his pockets. He loves legends, songs, and stories, and collects riddles, puzzles, and enigmas as avidly as he collects maps. He has a 5% Legend Lore chance to know something useful on any subject. His map collection is varied and mostly useless. Many of his maps are pre-Cataclysm. He is as likely to collect a map for its beauty as for its usefulness.

Although it is hard to get a kender depressed because of his fearlessness, Tasslehoff is saddened by death and destruction, and can be in awe of anything truly magnificent. His fearlessness does not keep him from being logical about danger, though his curiosity can sometimes overcome his reason. [/sblock]

I've almost forgotten all the places I've been in five years. I wanted to make a map for our travels, but you know how it goes more traveling than mapping. To the north and west the world has changed more terribly than we thought. A sea lies to the north where solid plains once were. Where Ergoth, the great ancient Empire, once stood, ther'?s nothing more than islands. Now I return to Solace and find it run down, ruled by some bunch of rootheads in Haven who call themselves the Seekers. They claim to be a theocracy in search of a god. You figure that out. The way I see it, things have gotten worse since they've been in power. [/sblock]

[sblock=Background]
Flint Fireforge, a grandfatherly dwarf, is the oldest of the companions. He is a Neidar (Hill) Dwarf, born in the wilds of the Kharolis Mountains. His father fought in the Dwarfgate Wars against the mountain dwarves, and told Flint many stories about that terrible conflict. After the Cataclysm, humans and hill dwarves sought refuge in the ancient dwarven kingdom of Thorbardin. The mountain dwarves, fearing they would be overrun, shut the gates of the kingdom, shutting out their kin, the Neidar, in the process. War raged for years, and both armies were obliterated in the final battle. The mountain dwarves who remained closed Thorbardin forever. The hill dwarves, shattered by the war, broke up into small clans. Flint was born into the poverty and hardship of his people, and grew up with a deep hatred of the mountain dwarves that had so betrayed his people.

Flint learned his trade as a metalsmith from his father, and set out into the world when he became an adult. His official reason for leaving was to find a more lucrative place to ply his trade, but secretly he dreamed of returning rich and powerful to reunite the Neidar Kingdom.

Eventually, Flint moved to Solace, since that town was located near all the major trade routes (and had one of the finest inns in the known world). His work was much in demand because of his skill, and he became one of the few dwarves welcome in the elven kingdom of Qualinesti. There he met a young half-elf named Tanis, and they formed a fast friendship.

When Tanis left Qualinost, he came to Flint in Solace, and Flint took the young half-elf on as a business partner. Together, they roamed the Haven/Solace region, and even traveled west across the mountains. They never went south, for Flint was not yet ready to face his own people again.

Although Flint grew increasingly crotchety as he aged, Tanis seemed to attract young, energetic people. And so the Companions formed around Flint and his young assistant. Flint, though always gruff, became much fonder of the Innfellows than they ever realized.

Flint had a near-brush with drowning that left him terribly afraid of water, and also had a close call with fire that left him nervous about flames. He is allergic to horses.

When Flint retired, he decided finally to travel south to find his people, and left Solace when the Innfellows departed. He traveled south of Pax Tharkas, but was captured by Aghar (gully dwarves)and imprisoned for several years. Finally, he escaped, but carries a burning hatred for the disgusting creatures. [/sblock]

[sblock=Personality]
Flint is a complex personality. He is gruff, cynical, distrustful, dwarvishly greedy, and never forgets an insult, but at the same time is extremely loyal, a little bashful (especially around women), humorous, and capable of deep and lasting friendship. Although it often appears different, he worries about his friends, thinking that they are children needing his care. He doesn't like to fight, but does it when he has to. He distrusts magic and all magic-users - including Raistlin. He has a running feud with Tasslehoff, but is secretly fond of the kender.

He is very fond of precious metals and gems, and is a talented metal craftsman. He whittles continually, and strokes and cleans his beard whenever there isn't a piece of wood in his hand. He dresses sloppily when traveling (to discourage bandits), but is very much the dandy in town. His health is good, but he has a touch of rheumatism. [/sblock]

[sblock=Character Card]
I have searched for unseen things these past five years and to avenge the wrongs done to my people. I have little to show for either. Years ago, the Kingdom of Thorbardin in the Southern Kalthax Mountains housed all the dwarves. We Hill Dwarves lived above ground and produced the food for the Mountain Dwarves in the kingdoms below. They gave us fine metalwork in return. But when the Cataclysm came and we rushed for the safety of the underground city of the Mountain Dwarves, they closed the gates, leaving us to the wrath of the gods. I searched for the Great Doors into the underground city, but the mountains had changed. Gully Dwarves caught me, but I escaped, slaying many of the sorry creatures. Curses on the Mountain Dwarves and their cousins in the Gully! [/sblock][/sblock]

[sblock=History]
Since the time of Huma, First Dragonlancer, who drove the dragons from Krynn a thousand years ago, the Knights of Solamnia have been the champions of justice and truth. The Knights represented all that was good, noble, compassionate, and heroic. But after the Cataclysm, when the peoples of Ergoth cried for aid, the Knights were helpless. When mankind turned its back on the true gods, not even the Knights could save them. And so the people came to blame the Knights for not saving them from their own folly. There came a great uprising against the Knights; their old temples and fortresses were besieged. Many of the old order died; the rest went into exile.

One of the leaders of the Solamnic order was the Lord of the Roses, who fathered Sturm Brightblade. When the people turned against the Knights, he saw that the fight was hopeless. He could not desert his comrades, but he could send his wife and newborn son south to safety.

And so Sturm Brightblade grew up in the town of Solace. As a child, he showed knightly bearing, and the ideals of chivalry came most naturally to him. His mother taught him the code of the Knights, and Sturm wished nothing more in life than to retake his father's heritage. When he came of age, Sturm received his father's legacy: a signet ring.

He trained himself as a fighter, undertaking quests and great hardships to toughen his body and soul for knighthood. He became fast friends with Caramon, then known as the strongest young man in Solace. And so he joined the Innfellows.

When the Innfellows left Solace, he went north to find traces of the Solamnic Knights. For a time, he traveled with Kitiara, Tanis's beloved, and then their paths split. He traveled in the lands of Solamnia, only to find that the Knights were everywhere in disgrace. He went to Vingaard Keep, his father's ancestral castle, now abandoned. He settled his father's estate, using the signet ring as proof of his heritage, but when the death duties were paid, all that was left was his father's sword and armor.

And so he returned to Solace, understanding at last that true knighthood was found in one's own heart, and vowing to reestablish the old order. If he was the last Knight of Solamnia, he would at least be true to his father's ideals. He needed no more. [/sblock]

[sblock=Personality]
The motto of the Knights of Solamnia is Est Sularus oth Mithas - My Honor Is My Life. It means that a Knight must be true to the ideals of chivalry at all costs. Sturm lives by that creed, and his highest ideal is to meet a noble death against overwhelming odds in the cause of justice. He is a man of noble bearing and great solemnity. His knightly ideals can sometimes be troublesome - it is a shameful thing to run in battle, he feels. But when persuaded that a larger interest is at stake, he can make a "strategic retreat" if it will further the cause.

His greatest fear is that somehow he will dishonor himself and the Knights, and shame his father's memory. His honor is his major possession, and his word is unbreakable. He is a fighter of remarkable skill. [/sblock]

I saw the northern lands when I crossed the sea, escorting our friend Kitiara. Once past the seas we parted-she went east and I went west. I searched for a holy man, but I also sought my birthright. For you see, I know only that my mother fled the northlands when I was young. She carried all my dead father had left her: his sword and his ring. From them I know that he was once a Knight of Solamnia. So I journeyed north to take my father’s place in that good and just order. But the Solamnic Knights have fallen into disfavor with the people there, and no trace of the order remains. Thus my past remains a mystery. [/sblock][/sblock]

[sblock=History]
Riverwind was born to a disgraced family of the Que-Shu tribe of plainsmen. His family had been cast out of the tribe years ago for refusing to worship the tribal ancestors. His grandfather believed in ancient gods who had existed before the Cataclysm, although he could find little evidence of such gods in the world.

The young boy became a shepherd, and spent many long, lonely nights tending his flock in the plains. He grew quickly into a young giant of a man, and became an excellent hunter and tracker. When he came of age, he was accepted as a Que-Shu because of his skills, and became a Far Hunter for the tribe. Although a member of the tribe, his family heritage kept him at the bottom of the tribal hierarchy.

And then he fell in love with the Chieftain's Daughter. Goldmoon was a young beauty, worshipped as a goddess by her people. She fell in love with him as well. He felt that his life was blessed beyond all measure. Unfortunately, Goldmoon was betrothed by her father to the son of the village shaman.

Riverwind then exercised his right as a tribesman to challenge the betrothal. Under Que-Shu law, he then had to undertake a quest to prove that he was worthy of Goldmoon's hand. Because Goldmoon's father did not want Riverwind to marry his daughter, he gave the Far Hunter an impossible task - to find evidence of the ancient gods.

Riverwind traveled far to the north, reaching the shores of the Newsea. He followed the sun and the moon and the stars, aimlessly searching. Finally, he came upon a ruined city and found himself in an evil dream...

He remembered little of what happened to him in that dark city. In his nightmares he dreamed of death on black wings, and of a woman dressed in blue light who saved his life. That woman gave him a staff of blue crystal. Delirious and half-dead, he returned to Que-Shu and presented the staff as fulfillment of his quest. Goldmoon's father commanded the staff to do something - anything - but nothing happened. Enraged, he threw the staff back to Riverwind, proclaimed him a fraud, and ordered him stoned to death for blasphemy. As the plainsmen began to throw rocks, Goldmoon rushed to his side to die with him, if need be... but then the blue crystal staff showed its power, and the two were teleported away...[/sblock]

[sblock=Personality]
Riverwind is a towering, imposing man of few words and quick action. He is fiercely protective of Goldmoon and loves her beyond life itself. Yet he is all too conscious of the social barrier between them, and obeys her as Chieftain's Daughter. He is quick to anger and aloof. He is distrustful of strangers until they have proven themselves, but once he calls someone "friend" he will lay down his life for them. [/sblock]

I am a warrior of the Que-Shu tribe. I have loved Goldmoon for many turns of the sun. I remember little of what happened to me after I reached the Forsaken Lands. Everything rises as dark dreams: a black swamp, a well, a kind and shining lady, a leather-winged creature of evil. How much of this happened and how much was madness, I cannot say. Months later I somehow returned, bleeding, crazed with fever and visions. I presented the staff, but the council scorned it. Somehow the staff helped us escape in a flash of sunlight. Now we seek control of its power. [/sblock][/sblock]

[sblock=History]
Tasslehoff Burrfoot is a Kender, a diminutive race found throughout the world of Krynn. Like all kender, he left home at the age of 18 because he was stricken by wanderlust, the uncontrollable urge to travel and make the great map of every land. No kender in wanderlust has ever completed the "great map," but most kender have great collections of maps, some useful, most obsolete. Tasslehoff is no exception. Tas's map was especially confused by an unfortunate incident with a magic ring of teleportation that kept transporting him to unknown lands without notice. No one but Tas ever saw the ring - or believed the story, either.

Tasslehoff was born somewhere in northern Ergoth, and is a member of the Stoat clan of kender. His parents traveled in the Haven/Solace region, where they studied the lives of the plainsmen. (What the plainsmen thought of the kender is nowhere recorded.) Tas acquired skills as a "handler" (the word "thief" is considered impolite), and used it extensively to satisfy his curiosity about everything. It was that curiosity that led to him taking a bracelet from Flint Fireforge's stall at a market. Flint was outraged, but Tanis decided he liked the little kender, and so they all became friends. (Flint, although he has never said a nice word about the kender, actually likes him a good deal.) [/sblock]

[sblock=Personality]
Tasslehoff's most endearing - and frustrating - characteristic is his insatiable curiosity and fearlessness. These traits often get him into trouble. His curiosity frequently drives him to see what other people have in their pockets and packs (Raistlin, in particular, hates this), and he can easily forget that he has "borrowed" a particular item. He collects odds and ends - he will never pass up a chance to acquire a map of any description - and often surprises himself with what he has in his pockets. He loves legends, songs, and stories, and collects riddles, puzzles, and enigmas as avidly as he collects maps. He has a 5% Legend Lore chance to know something useful on any subject. His map collection is varied and mostly useless. Many of his maps are pre-Cataclysm. He is as likely to collect a map for its beauty as for its usefulness.

Although it is hard to get a kender depressed because of his fearlessness, Tasslehoff is saddened by death and destruction, and can be in awe of anything truly magnificent. His fearlessness does not keep him from being logical about danger, though his curiosity can sometimes overcome his reason. [/sblock]

I've almost forgotten all the places I've been in five years. I wanted to make a map for our travels, but you know how it goes more traveling than mapping. To the north and west the world has changed more terribly than we thought. A sea lies to the north where solid plains once were. Where Ergoth, the great ancient Empire, once stood, ther'?s nothing more than islands. Now I return to Solace and find it run down, ruled by some bunch of rootheads in Haven who call themselves the Seekers. They claim to be a theocracy in search of a god. You figure that out. The way I see it, things have gotten worse since they've been in power. [/sblock]

Riverwind traveled far to the north, reaching the shores of the Newsea. He followed the sun and the moon and the stars, aimlessly searching. Finally, he came upon a ruined city and found himself in an evil dream...

He remembered little of what happened to him in that dark city. In his nightmares he dreamed of death on black wings, and of a woman dressed in blue light who saved his life. That woman gave him a staff of blue crystal. Delirious and half-dead, he returned to Que-Shu and presented the staff as fulfillment of his quest. Goldmoon's father commanded the staff to do something - anything - but nothing happened. Enraged, he threw the staff back to Riverwind, proclaimed him a fraud, and ordered him stoned to death for blasphemy. As the plainsmen began to throw rocks, Goldmoon rushed to his side to die with him, if need be... but then the blue crystal staff showed its power, and the two were teleported away...[/sblock]

[sblock=Personality]
Riverwind is a towering, imposing man of few words and quick action. He is fiercely protective of Goldmoon and loves her beyond life itself. Yet he is all too conscious of the social barrier between them, and obeys her as Chieftain's Daughter. He is quick to anger and aloof. He is distrustful of strangers until they have proven themselves, but once he calls someone "friend" he will lay down his life for them. [/sblock]

[sblock=Character Card]
I am a warrior of the Que-Shu tribe. I have loved Goldmoon for many turns of the sun. I remember little of what happened to me after I reached the Forsaken Lands. Everything rises as dark dreams: a black swamp, a well, a kind and shining lady, a leather-winged creature of evil. How much of this happened and how much was madness, I cannot say. Months later I somehow returned, bleeding, crazed with fever and visions. I presented the staff, but the council scorned it. Somehow the staff helped us escape in a flash of sunlight. Now we seek control of its power. [/sblock][/sblock]
