Her white blond hair, cropped short, frames a beautiful visage, her unblemished features a stark relief to her martial garb and demeanor. Her intense green eyes gaze out, unblinking, and unflinching. Hardship and horrors have tempered her in untold conflicts and she is a hard woman, as hard as the blade she wields. Her garb is simple and practical, a blouse and trousers, covered by shining plate over which is worn an exquisite purple cloak. A shield hangs from her back, and a sword is sheathed by her side.</p><p></p><p></p><p><strong><u>Background</u></strong></p><p>Born during the nigh constant conflict of the Last War, Ashlyn is well used to battle. The ancestral lands of her mother's family lie to the northwest of what was once Metrol, along the west bank of the Cyre river, yet she has never lived there. Their home was the site of neverending battles against the undead forces of Karrnath, thus Ashlyn and her mother sought refuge in the Metropolis of Metrol. Her father, a true magewright and master craftsman, took up the mantle of war, unsuited for it though he was, and rode against the undead legions. Ashlyn does not know what became of him, but it is thought that he fell in combat for he never returned to his wife and daughter. After many long, cold, and dreary months waiting for her fathers return, Ashlyn's mother, tired, worn and sick of the war, took her daughter away, accross Lake Cyre into the north of Valenar. There they made their way to a nearby town and sought refuge within an old temple to the Host. Only a few short months later came the Day of Mourning.</p><p></p><p>The catalysm, that shook all of Khorvaire and destroyed Cyre, affected the survivors in different ways, ... some lost the will to continue and found an end of one sort or another, ... some began to wander, sometimes stopping in one place or another, but never truly settling down, ... some used the destruction of their homeland as their fire to continue, ... some denied it, ... and some few simply got on with life. Ashlyn was one of the later. Having lived with the constant reality of war her entire life, she was well familiar with the concepts of loss and survival, and now, as before, the practicality of survival overode the loss and she perservered.</p><p></p><p>Perserverence took Ashlyn down the path of a paladin over the following years, perserverence, tenacity and devotion. Devotion to certain ideals that she holds self-evident, and devotion to the divine embodiment of those ideals, Dol Arrah. It was, however, her memory of the undead legions of Karrnath that led her to the lightbringers. Perserverence and implacable resolve, virtue and flaw. The mix is deadly.</p><p></p><p>The last few years have been filled with battle, constant and unending battle. No matter how many of the undead fall before her, no matter how many friends and comrades fall beside her, Ashlyn continues on.</p><p></p><p></p><p><strong><u>Primary role/Distinguishing abilities</u></strong></p><p>Primary melee combatant/Alternate healer (Sacred healing). </p><p></p><p></p><p><strong><u>Tactics</u></strong></p><p>Ashlyn will normally consider a strategic viewpoint of combat and place herself appropriately, often in a melee position that prevents her opponents from getting past her to the softer targets. When mounted she will guide Valo with her knees so that both she and Valo can attack, usually focusing on the same target(s). It is a rare occasion that she resorts to ranged combat, preferring melee, but if it is tactically sound to maintain range and does not endanger others, then she may stay mounted and fire her crossbow from horseback. If a battle swings in her opponents favor and things become desperate for her and her friends, then she may expend a turning in order to heal herself and her allies. However normally she will reserve such healing for after the battle.</p><p>Against undead, her strategies tend to be much simpler and involve slashing at the nearest undead with her blade. At the start of such a combat against undead, she may consider turning them if her knowledge of them does not indicate that they are too powerful for such an attempt.</p><p>Finally, although eminently practical, Ashlyn will always try to save those that she can (especially from the clutches of the undead). She will even risk her life for it if she thinks that there are good odds that she will succeed.</p><p></p><p></p><p><strong><u>Quirks</u></strong></p><p>Ashlyn embodies many of the traits that exemplify Dol Arrah. In particular she has a unyielding sense of honor and believes strongly in honorable combat and self sacrifice. However her youthful naiveity has been wiped away long ago, and she does not expect to see such honor in others. On the rare occasions that another displays such, she shows her respect by falling back on the formal forms that she learnt during her training. Spiritually tired, yet refusing to fall or stop, Ashlyn is emminently practical and has relatively little time for niceities or feelings including her own. Ironically she is often viewed as cold or callous by others, yet it is her need to protect the living that drives her. She is a careful planner and strategist although her hated of the undead occasionally clouds her judgement.</p><p></p><p>[sblock=Advancement]<strong>Level 1 -> Paladin 1 (Lightbringer substitution 1st)</strong> HP: 12 (1d10+2) SP: +20</p><p>BAB: +1; Saves: Fort +2, Ref +0, Will +0</p><p>Skills: Diplomacy +2, Handle animal +2, Heal +4, Knowledge (religion) +4, Ride +4, Sense Motive +4</p><p>Abilities: Str 14 (6 pts), Dex 10 (2 pts), Con 14 (6 pts), Int 14 (6 pts), Wis 12 (4 pts), Cha 15 (8 pts)</p><p>Feats: Force of personality, Combat expertise</p><p>Other: Aura of good, detect undead, smite evil 1/day</p><p></p><p><strong>Level 2 -> Paladin 2</strong> HP: 7 (1d10+2) SP: +5</p><p>BAB: +1; Saves: Fort +1, Ref +0, Will +0</p><p>Skills: Handle animal +1, Heal +1, Knowledge (religion) +1, Ride +1, Sense Motive +1</p><p>Other: Divine grace, lay on hands</p><p></p><p><strong>Level 3 -> Paladin 3</strong> HP: 8 (1d10+2) SP: +5</p><p>BAB: +1; Saves: Fort +0, Ref +1, Will +1</p><p>Skills: Diplomacy +1, Heal +1, Knowledge (religion) +1, Ride +1, Sense Motive +1</p><p>Feats: Improved smite</p><p>Other: Aura of courage, divine health</p><p></p><p><strong>Level 4 -> Paladin 4</strong> HP: 7 (1d10+2) SP: +5</p><p>BAB: +1; Saves: Fort +1, Ref +0, Will +0</p><p>Skills: Diplomacy +1, Heal +1, Knowledge (religion) +1, Ride +1, Sense Motive +1</p><p>Abilities: +1 Cha</p><p>Spells: (CL 2) 1 x 1st</p><p>Other: Turn undead</p><p></p><p><strong>Level 5 -> Paladin 5</strong> HP: 8 (1d10+2) SP: +5</p><p>BAB: +1; Saves: Fort +0, Ref +0, Will +0</p><p>Skills: Handle animal +1, Heal +1, Knowledge (religion) +1, Ride +1, Sense Motive +1</p><p>Spells: (CL 2)</p><p>Other: Smite evil 2/day, Special mount</p><p></p><p><strong>Level 6 -> Paladin 6</strong> HP: 7 (1d10+2) SP: +5</p><p>BAB: +1/+1; Saves: Fort +1, Ref +1, Will +1</p><p>Skills: Handle animal +1, Heal +1, Knowledge (religion) +1, Ride +1, Sense Motive +1</p><p>Feats: Sacred healing</p><p>Spells: (CL 3) 1 x 1st</p><p>Other: Remove disease 1/week</p><p></p><p><strong>Level 7 -> Knights of the Raven 1</strong> HP: 7 (1d8+2) SP: +5</p><p>BAB: +1/+1; Saves: Fort +2, Ref +0, Will +2</p><p>Skills: Gather information +2, Knowledge (local) +2, Knowledge (religion) +1</p><p>Spells: (CL 3)</p><p>Other: Raven harrier (harry), Speak with ravens</p><p></p><p><strong>Level 8 -> Knights of the Raven 2</strong> HP: 6 (1d8+2) SP: +5</p><p>BAB: +1/+1; Saves: Fort +1, Ref +0, Will +1</p><p>Skills: Gather information +1, Knowledge (local) +3, Knowledge (religion) +1</p><p>Spells: (CL 3)</p><p>Abilities: +1 Cha</p><p>Other: Smite undead 1/day</p><p></p><p><strong>Level 9 -> Knights of the Raven 3</strong> HP: 7 (1d8+2) SP: +5</p><p>BAB: +1/+1; Saves: Fort +0, Ref +1, Will +0</p><p>Skills: Gather information +1, Knowledge (local) +3, Knowledge (religion) +1</p><p>Feats: Improved combat expertise</p><p>Spells: (CL 4) 0 x 2nd</p><p>Other: Raven harrier (baffle), Sun domain, Turn undead[/sblock][sblock=Group equipment]The haversack containing the group gear is currently being carried by Ashlyn</p><ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><strong>Group gear</strong> (in haversack):<br /> Handy Haversack <span style="color: Red">(Group)</span> <span style="color: White">[5 lbs][2000 gp]</span><br /> - Relic: Mountain fane <span style="color: Red">(Group gear)</span><br /> - Lattice of jewels and ancient necklace <span style="color: Red">(Group gear)</span><br /> - a wicked looking dagger* <span style="color: Red">(Group gear)</span><br /> - Vampire hide armor (+3 studded leather; DR 5/silver & magic) <span style="color: Red">(Group gear)</span><br /> - Ring of Parting Prevented (1/d, puts of a death ward for 7 min.

Her white blond hair, cropped short, frames a beautiful visage, her unblemished features a stark relief to her martial garb and demeanor. Her intense green eyes gaze out, unblinking, and unflinching. Hardship and horrors have tempered her in untold conflicts and she is a hard woman, as hard as the blade she wields. Her garb is simple and practical, a blouse and trousers, covered by shining plate over which is worn an exquisite purple cloak. A shield hangs from her back, and a sword is sheathed by her side. [B][u]Background[/u][/B] Born during the nigh constant conflict of the Last War, Ashlyn is well used to battle. The ancestral lands of her mother's family lie to the northwest of what was once Metrol, along the west bank of the Cyre river, yet she has never lived there. Their home was the site of neverending battles against the undead forces of Karrnath, thus Ashlyn and her mother sought refuge in the Metropolis of Metrol. Her father, a true magewright and master craftsman, took up the mantle of war, unsuited for it though he was, and rode against the undead legions. Ashlyn does not know what became of him, but it is thought that he fell in combat for he never returned to his wife and daughter. After many long, cold, and dreary months waiting for her fathers return, Ashlyn's mother, tired, worn and sick of the war, took her daughter away, accross Lake Cyre into the north of Valenar. There they made their way to a nearby town and sought refuge within an old temple to the Host. Only a few short months later came the Day of Mourning. The catalysm, that shook all of Khorvaire and destroyed Cyre, affected the survivors in different ways, ... some lost the will to continue and found an end of one sort or another, ... some began to wander, sometimes stopping in one place or another, but never truly settling down, ... some used the destruction of their homeland as their fire to continue, ... some denied it, ... and some few simply got on with life. Ashlyn was one of the later. Having lived with the constant reality of war her entire life, she was well familiar with the concepts of loss and survival, and now, as before, the practicality of survival overode the loss and she perservered. Perserverence took Ashlyn down the path of a paladin over the following years, perserverence, tenacity and devotion. Devotion to certain ideals that she holds self-evident, and devotion to the divine embodiment of those ideals, Dol Arrah. It was, however, her memory of the undead legions of Karrnath that led her to the lightbringers. Perserverence and implacable resolve, virtue and flaw. The mix is deadly. The last few years have been filled with battle, constant and unending battle. No matter how many of the undead fall before her, no matter how many friends and comrades fall beside her, Ashlyn continues on. [B][u]Primary role/Distinguishing abilities[/u][/B] Primary melee combatant/Alternate healer (Sacred healing). [B][u]Tactics[/u][/B] Ashlyn will normally consider a strategic viewpoint of combat and place herself appropriately, often in a melee position that prevents her opponents from getting past her to the softer targets. When mounted she will guide Valo with her knees so that both she and Valo can attack, usually focusing on the same target(s). It is a rare occasion that she resorts to ranged combat, preferring melee, but if it is tactically sound to maintain range and does not endanger others, then she may stay mounted and fire her crossbow from horseback. If a battle swings in her opponents favor and things become desperate for her and her friends, then she may expend a turning in order to heal herself and her allies. However normally she will reserve such healing for after the battle. Against undead, her strategies tend to be much simpler and involve slashing at the nearest undead with her blade. At the start of such a combat against undead, she may consider turning them if her knowledge of them does not indicate that they are too powerful for such an attempt. Finally, although eminently practical, Ashlyn will always try to save those that she can (especially from the clutches of the undead). She will even risk her life for it if she thinks that there are good odds that she will succeed. [B][u]Quirks[/u][/B] Ashlyn embodies many of the traits that exemplify Dol Arrah. In particular she has a unyielding sense of honor and believes strongly in honorable combat and self sacrifice. However her youthful naiveity has been wiped away long ago, and she does not expect to see such honor in others. On the rare occasions that another displays such, she shows her respect by falling back on the formal forms that she learnt during her training. Spiritually tired, yet refusing to fall or stop, Ashlyn is emminently practical and has relatively little time for niceities or feelings including her own. Ironically she is often viewed as cold or callous by others, yet it is her need to protect the living that drives her. She is a careful planner and strategist although her hated of the undead occasionally clouds her judgement.
