[5E] [OOC] JM's A Bit of Trouble (Closed)

[jmucchiello]

Except it is already established that Everett's father is head of the house.

Just be the great-great-great-great-grand son of someone who perhaps retired and moved out of Bit or something. Elves probably do not recognize great-great++ uncles as meaningful. You get a couple hundred elves together, they are all mostly related to one another and all look to be about 25 in human years.

Being tied to the PC who's no longer in the game isn't as useful as being tied to someone still playing (or coming in new.)

Ok, let me catch up some of the story and I’ll figure something out.

Since it’s better to be tied to someone new, I ask the help of my fellow gamers! Who wants to know a friendly and useful bard (free hp through inspiring leader;-)
Cheers,

Swithun could have known him. I get the impression that Swithun has been samurai-pilgramaging for quite some time (I mean, not literally "samurai", but the centaur-equivalent - noble warrior looking to perfect his skills while learning new things and meeting new people).

 

[Steve Gorak]

This could work. Theremin has survival as skill, so they could have met on the road. Bard + centaur = wanderlust, no? ;-)
They Could have travelled some time, parted ways, only to cross paths again by fortune and the will of the gods. He could have been in the area (Groaning forest) as he visited his Matriarch’s kin, that humoured him mostly because of his skills at the arts.

ok with you JM?
cheers,

That's better.

To everyone else, I got slammed at work this week. I will start the game up again soon. (I might just throw the doors open and have you guys hang out in Bit for a bit before pushing you one direction or another.)

 

[doghead]

To everyone else, I got slammed at work this week.

Hah. I know that feeling. One of the reasons I resumed playing here was to try and stake out a little space and time dedicated to something other than work.

Frost was not offered a home. Frost was not part of the group that liberated the villagers.

You did say that. Um, apologies. Again.

If you hang out with the army, you won't be in Bit. Being in Bit, as I asked, means leaving the army to do its thing. (And its thing is really just being a garrison.)

I really am not covering myself with glory at the moment, am I? Being constantly tired is, well ... tiring.

OK. So what is keeping Winter in Bit at the moment?

Teaching Children? A cultural faux pax that left several children crying (Children a such incomprehensible beings - dragons are easier to understand.) A slightly panicked apology to a astute school ma'am that somehow ended in a promise to stay and help. A growing (but decidedly confusing) feeling of affection for her rag tag band of diminutive terrors. Free time spent in the wilds, ostensibly hunting to help support the town, but mostly to clear her head.

A connection to one of the PC's? Perhaps one who has experience of children and/or teaching And, while maybe sympathetic, is also deeply amused at the sight of a wild, nearly feral, elf being terrorised by a group of 5-14 year olds. Her only defence, an extensive knowledge of dragons, with which the children are deeply fascinated.

thotd

Obviously the drunken master monk knows the bard from the local drinking hole... But before that, did he ever come to a monastery? Does he come from a religious family attending the local monastery frequently, where he might've come across a (then) friendly and timid monk who had just met this amazing woman?

Wouldn't explain how he ended up in Bit, though, but it does make for an interesting interaction.

That would work pretty well with the girl Brother Pelegon saved from the lizardfolk. Maybe she was one of those kids Winter was teaching, and now she insists on showing off her 'savior' to the other kids, and her teacher. Which must've been hella awkward at first - exchanging embarred greetings between an obviously hungover and uncomfortable monk and the i-have-no-clue-what-to-do-with-these-kids feral elf - but somehow getting along despite their differences... How does that connection sound?

 

[doghead]

... How does that connection sound?

It sounds good.

I like the idea of the young girl being one of Frosts students. (Does she have a name?)

I definitely agree that the first meeting between Frost and Pelegon, with [insert name here] standing between them, would be awkward. She would make for a interesting a narrative lever forcing Frost to confront her own views about Pelegon.

I am looking forward to seeing how the relationship between Morning and Pelegon plays out.

thotd

 

[JustinCase]

Thanks!

The girl probably has a name, but as far as I can recall it wasn't mentioned in the IC thread. @jmucchiello do you want to name her, or can I?

 

[jmucchiello]

Go right ahead. She's a farmer's daughter around 8-10 years old IIRC.
