"I require nothing else", Argivion says. "But I would like to remind those who are so eager to rush at the orcs of yet another proverb: The foolish and unwary find surprises and among them, waiting, Death. We should be careful and not underestimate the orcs."

While waiting for the Seneschal's response, Argivion turns to the Halfling and Mordok: "There is a proverb: Killing orcs is like washing a pig. Turn your back for a second, and the filth is back. So do not worry. You will most assuredly be able to slaughter as many of them as you want."

While the baron speaks, Argivion takes two sheets from a scroll case and a small ink well and a quill from one of his belt pouches. He writes quickly. He then hands the scrolls to the Seneschal. "Standard contract", he explains. "I filled in the details. Read it and then sign it or let your...

Argivion inclines his head curtly in Mordok's direction. "Argivion of Frosty Glade". He then turns back to the baron. "Worthy? Might I ask Your Lordship who this person is and why he considers himself capable of judging my ... "worthiness"? "

A tall Eladrin clears his throat. He is clad in well-worn but immaculately clean black leather and a grey travelling cloak. He holds an iron-shod staff and wears a longsword on his side. His hair is a pale blond, almost white, and rather short for an Eladrin. A small scar on his left cheek and...

Why does nobody ever want to talk to orcs? :( I mean those guys are probably quite reasonable if you would just take the time and start a nice conversation ... after you chained them to the wall and heated up the iron poker. :devil: WD, you might want to drop me a PM about the Invisible Castle...

BTW: Orcs no longer have their own language, right? They now speak Giant, don't they?

Well, I'd prefer to be on my own in the beginning ... after all, I have no reason being out in the woods on my own, waging a guerilla war on the orcs (a war I am not being paid for to boot ;)). So, after his last job as a caravan escort, Argivion probably lingered around town looking for...

You know me. Sob stories are my forte. :D I could've added poor sick little Timurianthiel (also called Timmy) asking me to avenge his parents by killing the orcs who slaughtered them. But I never liked that little brat anyway (or his stupid parents). Yeah, I read the recruitment speech. 100...

Argivion is in it for the money, plain and simple. He is a mercenary to the core and would probably have worked for the orcs as well (but they are obviously not hiring :lol:).

I'd prefer the "five complete strangers brought together by a common noble quest" approach. (Alright, for my character "common noble quest" means : killing orcs for fun and profit. :D)

Yes, a magic staff works like a quarterstaff (that is why I got confused and wanted a quarterstaff +2 earlier on :)). According to the DMG (if I remember correctly) resistances do not stack. Will try and change the formatting. EDIT: Changed the layout of the CS. EDIT: I just noticed that...

Will I ever get used to non-LG Paladins? ;) But we really are low on long-range hitting power. I mean throwing stars and javelins are nice but we are in for one helluva fight if the orcs bring along some missile troops. Sitting behind that nice wooden stockade in the village being peppered...

EDIT: Forgot one very important item ...

Before we close this down: I finally got my PHB back, so without further ado my "final version": Male Eladrin Wizard Level 5 Unaligned Strength 10(+0) Constitution 14 (+2) Dexterity 12 (+1) Intelligence 20 (+5) Charisma 12 (+1) Wisdom 12 (+1) Maximum Hit Points: 40 Bloodied: 20...

Ah, so it is not me (for a change :)). Good to hear. I would've hated asking our IT manager if there were any problems with my connection (although maybe I could have explained logging in to ENWorld as "necessary research" :D). So Warlord it is then? Never seen one of those in action. Can't...

ENWorld is acting a bit strange on my side. I apologize for any double posts.

I am also happy with either. Everything with heavy armour and lots of HP standing between my wizard and the cruel world is fine with me. :D ;)

Ah, yes. I think I finally got it. My thanks to Lord Sessadore. You'd think that after spending hours each day in front of a computer I'd be able to figure out those things by myself. :blush:

I was wondering about backgrounds as well. But since this is a Beer and Brezel (where did that horrible superflous "t" come from??? ;)) game, I assumed that Walking Dad didn't want to bother about how and why the characters are working together. I know from (bitter) experience that getting the...
