    D&D 5E (2014) Spell & Crossbones

    Varlock had said his piece, then moved off quietly to stand outside and look towards the sea. He had considered speaking to the Financier and Katarina himself, but the pull of the sea brought him outside once more. The sound of the waves carried to him through the air, and his heart and mind...

    D&D 5E (2014) Spell & Crossbones

    Doctor Varlock, still silent, is listening to all that is going on and making his own judgements. The thought of bringing along this accountant, and whether or not the financier's assistant is "up to snuff" makes little difference to him. Only the thought of the sea, and of the captain who the...

    The Center of Time

    ooc: If I can still see Wisco, then yes: I'll keep spending Int or whatever until I can save my party comrade (and I'll use that blasting numenera I've had equipped for a while). If the player is gone and the character is basically dead, Duncan will shake his head sadly and move on. If he's...

    [5e] Spell & Crossbones

    I'm able to use the Triage healing thing, but I chose Doctor really more because I can hack off limbs with my pact blade. Not inspiring, sadly. Um... But it'll be clean! Well, tainted by the deep ones... I'll let myself out, fine... ;) This game is agony in terms of cool options to choose...

    D&D 5E (2014) Spell & Crossbones

    ooc: Um, *pirate*! Also, Varlock is being mysterious and aloof, and hopefully leaving room for foreshadowing of dark things yet to come... But clearly no one believes him now, despite freaky eyes. (Which is totally cool, because plots thicken slowly over time :D Anyway, I speak Aquan and...

    D&D 5E (2014) Spell & Crossbones

    Doctor Varlock chooses this moment to look up at the Old Salt, with a pair of strange, demonic eyes where human eyes should be: black orbs with bright blue rings, staring into the sailor with a look that says this man has seen the depths of hell itself. His mouth cracks into a damned grin...

    D&D 5E (2014) Spell & Crossbones

    Doctor Varlock's silence was measured, and he didn't move during the discussion... until now. Let us not count our coins before they are minted. Half-shares breed mistrust and obfuscate the costs of a venture. Best say fifteen shares than share-and-a-half. Crew get one share a piece...

    [5e] Spell & Crossbones

    Kiraya: Agreed! Seemed like a fun character. Does this mean we should contact one of the others who expressed interest?

    Everything D&D Ever - Temple of the Frog

    Here's a pic I did of Xana, a while back. It's a bit cheesecake, but I love it. And her. Have to figure out digital uploads, so it doesn't look terrible. I cut the size down from 1200 to 300dpi, in photoshop (which I'm still very green with, thanks), so hoping it looks as good as on paper...

    Everything D&D Ever - Chapter 1: Temple of the Frog

    Xana is momentarily silent, seeing the handsome elf with a moustache, overwhelmed by the reality that she's on an adventure. Odum, her winged monkey familiar, waves his hand in front of her eyes once or twice, trying to get her to snap out of her reverie. When Lilly challenges the elves, Xana...

    [5e] Spell & Crossbones

    Then technically you guessed *wrong*... for I had not figured that part out yet, and was (as should seem obvious) hacking my way through this unknown jungle. Fear not, many people make the mistake of believing I know what I'm doing (examples: my wife, my kids, those refugees who thought I was a...

    [5e] Spell & Crossbones

    Uhh... why not all of them? They all look awesome (though too bad about the pact blade being evil... that should be a plot surprise, but maybe Hawken intuitively knows it's getting "more evil" as time goes on?) Definitely #4, and #7 is a great idea. #8 is a given, and #1 is the sort of thing...

    Discovery: should I leave that to the GM? I've got no clue what works for your ideal campaign. Personality: 4 Ideal: 1, thought 2 is great (even though he's CG) Bond: 4 Flaw: 5

    [5e] Spell & Crossbones

    Genuinely sorry about that. I thought your posting the RP thread meant we were starting, despite most of the characters seemingly being hammered out or revised. Queenie, for example, adjusting her rogue, or Gentleman Jim being under discussion. So I posted to stay in the game. Also, I...

    D&D 5E (2014) Spell & Crossbones

    Doctor Hawken Varlok sits at the table in his long black coat, the sort of coat worn by military officers, with its buttons and folds, though it is clearly not the colors of any nation. One hand holds his glass while the other is tucked into his coat and vest, hidden from view yet in the...

    [5e] Spell & Crossbones

    Got a buttload of work this weekend, but working as I can. Did a pass yesterday, then internet kicked out (cable guy for land lady cut my internet wires, so had to wait for another guy to come plug them back in). I'm going for ship's surgeon, I guess, though we'll see how the captain race goes.

    [5e] Spell & Crossbones

    I may just go full Warlock, and find some way to give him Stealth and Acrobatics. He's increasingly looking like the guy from Dracula Untold, rather than Jim from Treasure Planet, but I'll keep chiselling and see what's inside this marble.

    Drat. I'll have to tinker with organization; appreciate the feedback, since it can be like yelling into a void. I think I left them blank and just put the stats in. (got called away for family stuff, as happens) Monk weapons: awwwwww, I missed that! I was skimming, and just looked at the...
