Stone of Good Luck and Eyes of charming.
D&D 5E Assualt on Dire Wood [OOC]
Steve Gorak
Adventurer
Ok, here is my final application. I changed the feat for sharpshooter, as I didn't want to overlap with [MENTION=6689191]Hillsy7[/MENTION] 's Cassidy and I felt it was a better fit with the background I wanted. He'll lose 1 attack per round, and this hurts since I want to take the assassin archetype next level, but I think the decrease in bonus action overlap will make up for it, and the bracers of archery helped with the decision.
My character is now a full fledged archer, that can shoot at 600 ft without penalty, and if hidden (bonus action), will do so with advantage, plus sneak and possibly hex. Magic items: Cloak of the manta ray and bracers of archery. The cloak is a bit sub-optimal, but it really fit nicely with my character's backstory and his time with the lady of corals. Comments and feedback are welcome, and I hope I make it to the game's roster
Edit: the munchkin in me was looking at the ring of spell storing. Is it me or is that item way overpowered on a low level Warlock?

[sblock=Appearance]
Dorn is a short youthful looking human male. This is likely due to to the unreliable eating habits he was forced to assume as a destitute child. He has an unassuming appearance, with dark brown hair and the beginnings of a stubble on his chin.
He usually gets rid of this by using prestigitation. He also tends to always look clean and smell fresh, again because of his repeated uses of prestigitation.
This, of course, is when he chooses to look his normal self. As a traveller, he tends to assume many guises, with the use of the mask of many faced invocation. He enjoys this trick he learned from the fey.
These days, he prefers to appear as an older looking human with skin tanned by the sun in the open seas, which is not too far from the truth, with beard and peppered grey mustache
[/sblock]
[sblock=Background]
Dorn was born in abject poverty in the slums of Darromar, in the kingdom of Tethir. He never knew his father, and his mother, whom abandoned him quite young at the age of 11, was a woman of ill reputation and questionable morality.
From a young age, Dorn sought to escape from the slums. He had a good head on his shoulders and stayed around the docks, offering his services as a guide to newly arrived travelers.
This helped to fill his belly; not completely, but enough.
Unfortunately for him, he had a good heart, and never gave in to his shady acquaintances that wanted to recruit his help to lure these travelers and rob them blind.
The pressure was increasing and the small time thugs wanted his skin, so at the age of 14 he joined a ship belonging to her majesty's Queen-Monarch merchant navy as a deck-hand, to get away from the heat.
He traveled for a few years with this ship, and was involved in more battles than he had hoped for.
Fortunately, he had a keen eye, and was as quick as a whip with a crossbow, making up for his less than imposing stature.
About the age of 17, his shipped was attacked by pirates. They weren't as lucky as they had been in the past.
After slaughtering his companions, the pirates were amused by his youth and his show of bravery during the combat, and threw him overboard to die in the sea.
Hands and feet bound, he was contemplating his last thoughts as he was sinking. This is when she appeared, kissed him, and allowed him to breathe.
She had watched the combat, and amusement was not what she felt from his youth and bravery.
His memories of the time he spent with the Lady of Corals is quite hazy. She brought him to an island. They were lovers. Time seemed to stand still.
Yet, the pirates needed to be brought to justice, and he needed to live with others of his kind. He also felt she was growing tired of him, as a whimsical fey-lady would. She released him from her spell, yet she had touched his soul forever.
She also left him with the cloak he wears all the time.
Dorn returned to Darromar, and relayed the pirate attacks to the proper authorities.
The thugs of his youth had grown, and still remembered him. He also felt disconnected from his home city so he decided to leave Darromar and wandered for weeks, joining ship's crews, and ended up in Yarthar, close to the high forest.
This is when he heard of the wood elves woes, and felt he needed to contribute to something greater. Perhaps he could help.

Magic items, niiiice!
Could I make Yann's ironwood branch into a Staff of the Woodlands, 3Spd? (Probably without the spells since he isn't a druid?)
EDIT = Thanks for the XP and the Laugh.
No problem with it.

Ok, so after looking through all the characters I have upped it to six characters (due to the natural attrition that seems to happen in pbp). I have editted the first post with the characters, linked to your post.
So any changes you make to the character, please make it in the linked post. That way we don't have to go looking for the most current one.
For the guys that missed out, if any of the others pull out I would be more than happy to get you in.
From here, I will over the next few days do an individual intro post for each of the characters. I am going on holidays on the 17th and coming back on the 5th of January and might have zero access during this period. So would you guys prefer to start after that?
Thanks again.

Great! I will finish up the last few details on my character sheet over the next few day (equipment list, mostly).
As far as getting started, I would be willing to wait until after the holidays- but depending on just how much we're going to be dumped right into action, it might be nice to do some intros and let us RP and get a feel for everyone else's style before we get to the meet of things. Like, say, having the intro put us in a tavern, on a boat, whatever- but waiting for our contact, which gives us some time to interact without needing too much GM effort. Either way works for me.

Great,
Do you plan to open a RG?
BTW, I will be away on a business trip to the US till the 18th Dec.

I'm fine with both. FYI, my spouse is expecting our first child and she is ready to burst, so I may unexpectedly disappear for a few days as I experience the wonders of fatherhood for the first time ;-)
Also, I've updated my character, and decided to go with the optional array. This will make for an interesting character (a fighter with 6 str ;-). I also optimized and completed the equipment.
Cheers,

Congrads Steve, It will be nice to play with you again since our Lost Caverns game several years ago.
