I have added johnsemlak, Lady Shatterstone, and adamantineangel as alternates (in the order of their requests), which leaves one alternate slot open. Hello, and thank you all for your interest.

Thanks for letting me in, nonamazing. Do you want a character concept now or at the time I'm activated?

I hate to do this, but I noticed that johnsemlak posted on this too. johnsemlak, what about my game? Just wondering if you were still wanting to play

Lady Shatterstone · Dec 16, 2004

nonamazing, I also thank you for the spot. Same question on my end about deadline for character concepts.

There's no deadline for alternate characters, I'd say. You could drop me a character now, or wait 'til later--either is fine. If you wanted to make a character now, they would probably be part of the crew left behind on the ship when then main expeditionary force disembarks (and thus I could work you easily into the story).

The concept however, is a Gnomish scholar who went through one of the Rogue's Training schools, but displayed more of an aptitude for languages. After manifesting the Least Dragonmark of House Sivis, he was recruited as a field translation expert. This would be the most likely reason for him to join the expedition.

Seems like an interesting concept, and it fits well into the group. In fact, it looks like this character will be extremely useful to the party.

I'll see what I can do to get on the voyage and then hang back

I would like to take the last Alternate spot if possible. My concept is a Valenar Elf Bard/Fighter who's ancestor was one of the first elven explorers to land in Khorvair. His attempt to follow in his ancestors footsteps caused him to undertake a fool hardy mission to the frostfells.

I may not make that " voyage", but I should hopefully have some sort of an idea in the next few days. I will at least drop a note as to what type of charcter... right now I am thinking a Human-Sorcereress or an Elf- Drurid (if you dont mind having more then one elf or druid), but probably the human.

Appearance:His height is Karthak's only noticeable physical feature. His clothing is plain and he keeps his head clean shaven, mainly because its easier than dealing with hair. He tries to look presentable however, and all of his gear is neat and clean.

Background: Karthak has lived aboard ships for as long as he can remember. Since he manifested the Mark of Storm, and he showed talent for Wizardy at a young age, he is a valuable asset to his house, and has sailed countless voyages, picking up many skills needed to survive on a ship over the years. Various tutors taught him the basics of harnessing magical energey at an early age, and after that, countless experiments and hours of research in his cabin have expanded his magical power. Since his parents are often away on House business, Karthak has been raised by his uncle, Lord Wassen d'Lyrandar. Lord Wassen commands a small fleet that patrols around Eldeen Bay, his quick vessels acting as an early warning system for Stormhome's navy. Karthak spent quite a bit of time out in the Bay with Lord Wassen--it was on one such trip that Karthak managed to defend his uncle's damaged flagship against a group of deadly Lhazaar pirates. Karthak's uncle has encouraged him to be part of this expedition. Although he's never said so openly, Lord Wassen appears to be grooming Karthak to some day take command of his fleet.

Personality:The only thing orderly about Karthak is his appearance. He constantly forgets to do things, and has often nearly fallen into the briny depths because he forgets that he in infact on a ship, and that falling off could be a bad idea. He is personable, but is easily sidetracked in conversations, and has been banned from negoiating with Harbor Masters after putting one to sleep with a speech on the merits of Evocation Magic. He is a inhernetly good person, and his main goal with this quest is to see what he can do to help, and expand his magical knowledge in the process.

Hey, how do you do that cool Character Sheet post... thing? The scroll box. I haven't seen anything that tells me how to do that, although there is the possibility I'm just blind

Well, somebody's got to stay on the boat--there's a lot of shipjackers out there just waitin' for the chance to take your ride (and The Whale's Carcass--the ship you'll be sailing in--is one pimped-out boat).

Very well then, the last spot is yours, good sir. And that seems like a solid character concept.

I just realized that the 'ACP' on Krug and Speed-Stick's character sheets must stand for 'Armor Check Penalty' and not 'ACtion Points', as I had assumed. I feel kind of dumb for not having realized that earlier.

Speed-Stick, I have looked over Karthak, and he seems like a well-rounded character. Only one thing: Shouldn't he have a -1 to his Will save due to his Wisdom?

After looking over the character sheet, these are my first impressions: Karthak seems like an absent-minded genius, a magic-using Einstein, someone who is incredibly brilliant, but who doesn't pay much attention to the world around him. His family would probably consider him very valuable due to his intelligence and natural talent. However, they might have a hard time getting him to pay attention to anything other than his magical research.

Here's a couple of questions for you to chew over as you put the finishing touches on Karthak: what sort of Familiar would Karthak have summoned, if any? He seems rather non-physical--why has he worked so hard to become an expert climber? Does he just enjoy mountain climbing as a hobby, or is there more to it than that? Is is especially important for him to appear neat and clean, or does he do so only because it is efficient?

Oh, and one final note! The dragonmarked houses usually put a d' in front of their House names, like so: d'Lyrandar. This is probably an optional thing, but I thought maybe you'd like it.
