[QUOTE="EarlyBird, post: 7308551, member: 6899077"] Terry & Niklos could get their powers fromt he same Goddess - Eldath with little change to the characers themselves. Niklos could be from the far North where he learned his trade in a cavern glade with a sacred pool. Terry's druid mentor would be a follower of Eldath, and was instructed that with the coming troubles a soldier was needed to fight the war to come. This all would be so they have a common bond when they meet. As to the trouble/hook... [B]Hook:[/B] Dark Omens The signs and portents are clear: nature is out of balance. Terrible disater is drawing closer ith every passing day. Everything points to the cause somewhere in the Dessirn Valley, but as to what? who? or how? there is no clue yet. Red Larch will make a good staging base as all information in the North floats eventually through here. So Niklos was "pulled" to Red Larch by a feeling of being needed there. And Terry could have been brought to the village by her mentor with instructions to help in the village where she can, and report any "oddities" to the Druid Circle. When we start everyone will have been in town a tenday or less, so they are still the "new people". _________________________________________________________ Oh before I forget again, jonathonhawke is[B] reward one point of inspiration[/B] for his holiday themed character - great work _________________________________________________________ Cyan is pretty easy.
