Insight's Histhaven - OOC

[Shayuri]

Shayuri, looks great! I admit I did a double take at Cursed Shadow, but it works and makes a lot of sense

It does have a bit of an 'entrance fee' yeah, but for perma-concealment...which later on I might find ways to help with stealth too...it's worth paying, and worth paying for upfront. Plus, the assassin multiclass is no wasted feat. Encounter teleport, skill training, and I can use Ki Foci as implements!

Plus, there's some good assassin feats. Even one that grants Darkvision in Paragon...which should be handy in the Shadowfell.

Hmmm, I need to look at the group and make sure my character still makes sense. I had made the character with a Warlord friend in mind, and now we've lost our Warlord. Nuts...

Updated Erasmus von Richten

The only changed I ended up making was changing out the Censure of Unity in favor of Censure of Pursuit, which I was on the fence about before. With one less melee person, and the person with whom I was most likely to cooperate, it seems prudent.

[Insight]

OK all. I'll work on getting this game started this week or early next week. Please try to have any last-minute changes in by Friday.

 

[tiornys]

Hmmm, I somehow missed Themes in the creation guidelines. Markal will go with Chevalier.

t~

 

[Insight]

It looks like we have the following submissions:
[MENTION=17633]tiornys[/MENTION]: Markal, Human Paladin 5
[MENTION=42968]Goken100[/MENTION]: Erasmus, Human Avenger 5
[MENTION=59043]Walking Dad[/MENTION]: Carric, Half-Elf Cleric (Warpriest) 5
[MENTION=4936]Shayuri[/MENTION]: Penny Whistler, Halfling Warlock (Hexblade) 5
[MENTION=870]Cor Azer[/MENTION]: Aleksey Khalendros, Human Wizard 5

This will be the final roster for the game.

Check out the new RG Thread. Please post the final version of your character in that thread.

 

[Insight]

Everyone -

For each character, I do not need an in-depth background. Instead, I would like the following for each PC:

1. Two complimentary personality aspects
2. One contrary personalty aspect
3. One personal goal
4. If your character is NOT from the Shadowfell, how you got there
5. If your character IS from the Shadowfell, how you came to Histhaven

Example:

Jimmy Bigsword is gruff and has no sense of humor. He does, however, encourage his allies to better themselves. Jimmy came to the Shadowfell when he stumbled into a dark tomb and fell into a portal of black energy.


(Your own submission should probably be more in-depth than what I posted as an example)


Please post these to the RG thread (you can post them here too, if you want).

Also, [MENTION=4936]Shayuri[/MENTION] we cannot get started until your character has a name.

- Thanks, Shayuri

 

[Shayuri]

Hee...oops. Okay.

Penny Whistler is a quiet halfling with a dark, sarcastic sense of humor. Flashes of her old self can be seen in her love of animals and children. She seek to redeem herself for a mistake made years ago, when her quest for vengeance, an the power to wreak it, led her to embrace dark powers from the realm of the dead.

Though she has recanted this, and now serves the cult of the goddess Sehanine, she still bears the taint of the Shadow.

Penny came to Histhaven, guided by counsel of priestesses of Sehanine, who interpreted signs of the goddess' will to set her on the path.

 

[Cor Azer]

Added this to my post in RG, but here too:

Aleksey is quiet without being shy or aloof, preferring others to take the lead while he remains in the background observing, offering advice and knowledge as wanted. He hopes to one day be a true student of people, able to read them as easily as a page on a book. Since his arrival in Histhaven, he has seemed a little more reserved than usual - although his Vistani clan had been in the Shadowfell before, it was never in Histhaven, and yet the land around him seems hauntingly familiar, like half-remembered dreams. As a seer, Aleksey puts great faith in visions, and while he believes that powers from beyond drew him to Histhaven through the mists after his clan was scattered, he has little idea for what purpose. To date, his own foresight has yet to answer him.
