    [Burning THAC0] B2: The Keep on the Borderlands

    Avros strides forward and accepts his glass with a revered bow. He takes a moment to swirl the contents while Constance speaks, and then holds his glass up in a toast to the Friar. "Halav bless you, Brother. From what temple do you hail? I myself am an admirer of the grape, but you'll have to...

    [Burning THAC0] B2: The Keep on the Borderlands (ooc/setup)

    In terms of houses and factions, I know almost nothing of the setting. I did a decent amount of reading on the CoK and CoT and some of the basic history of the region but that's about it at this point. I'll try to get a better idea but I'm very interested in the Thyatian/Traladaran conflict. The...

    [Burning THAC0] B2: The Keep on the Borderlands (ooc/setup)

    I wanted to talk to that friar a bit about the evils of the borderlands and also about this militant order he belongs too. I was waiting for engrishonly to get back on my roll, but I'll try to get something up in the IC thread to keep things moving. Other than that, a good night's sleep. I also...

    [Burning THAC0] B2: The Keep on the Borderlands (ooc/setup)

    I like this a lot. It's wordy but it gets the point across. This way, it leaves the roleplaying up to me. Thanks all for helping me pin that one down. Now I'll decide on my last instinct and I'm all ready to go.

    [Burning THAC0] B2: The Keep on the Borderlands (ooc/setup)

    Yeah, this is what I'm struggling with. I think of ideas and then I can't see them playing out in reality because we would just leave each other's presence or kill each other. That's not what I'm going for. I think there is good conflict to be had between Avros and Constance but I see it growing...

    [Burning THAC0] B2: The Keep on the Borderlands (ooc/setup)

    Would something like, "Constance is a liar and a thief. I will make sure she doesn't lead us into trouble" work? I see it as me calling her out if she steals something and I notice, or not trusting her advice, plans, etc. when it comes to party decisions. Or I could do something like "Constance...

    [Burning THAC0] B2: The Keep on the Borderlands

    At the Friar's words, Avros finally drops his sullen mood. Up to this point, the paladin seemed little more than a mopey Traladaran boy on the road after his family Shearing. In fact, the group hardly even noticed that he had accompanied them to The Slippery Rock. But now, he stands straight...

    [Burning THAC0] B2: The Keep on the Borderlands (ooc/setup)

    I agree with you. I was writing beliefs from a more general standpoint at first. I had an idea about coming to the Keep on the trail of someone who betrayed my family. Maybe I could run with that...

    [Burning THAC0] B2: The Keep on the Borderlands (ooc/setup)

    Gadrius is a ranger-priest of the CoT. Gadrius is a follower of Zirchev and his duty is to keep a watchful eye on the Borderlands for signs of defilement and incursions into Karameikos.

    [Burning THAC0] B2: The Keep on the Borderlands (ooc/setup)

    It sounds like the Corporal is only holding Vellekhyr for the night, correct? If that's the case, we don't really need to worry about him at this point. If my instinct is to be Conspicuous when I enter a room, does that require a roll whenever I enter a room? Or is it considered more flavor...

    [Burning THAC0] B2: The Keep on the Borderlands (ooc/setup)

    Alright, I went deeper with my Induction Quest. I was planning to use it as my motivation to seek out the caves and hope this will suffice. I changed my instincts around to be more defined and skill driven. I wanted to include something about pardoners but everything I came up with was very...

    [Burning THAC0] B2: The Keep on the Borderlands (ooc/setup)

    I decided to make him an initiate so that my main starting goal is to become a member of the Order of the Sword. This is why I have journeyed to the Keep in the first place. Engrishonly, where should I start with my character? I feel like there's a lot of ground to make up.

    Ok, I think I've got him. Let me know what you guys think and I'm eager to jump in. Name: Avros Concept/Bio: An aspiring initiative of the Church of Traladara. Lifepaths: Born Noble, Lead to Religious, Temple Acolyte, Lead to Professional Soldier, Bannerman Age : 19 Stats: Wi: B4, Pe: B4, Po...

    I like that, Mathalus. Just so you guys know I'm wrapping up a project for work that's been kicking my ass these last couple days. I'm planning to sit down with Avros tomorrow evening and finish him up.

    [Burning THAC0] B2: The Keep on the Borderlands (ooc/setup)

    Some quick background info. The Church of Traladara is the old religion of the region. The Church of Karameikos is a hybrid religion formed by the Thyatians when they took over. My thought is that there are certain sects of the Church of Traladara that believe this new religion has overstepped...

    [Burning THAC0] B2: The Keep on the Borderlands (ooc/setup)

    I've been reading quite a lot on the religious conflicts within Karameikos and I'm excited to play my paladin. I'm not choosing him just because the other pally dropped out. Once I delved into the concept it started to fall into place for me quite well. I do need to read up on Faith. Seems like...

    [Burning THAC0] B2: The Keep on the Borderlands (ooc/setup)

    Ready to throw down I am! Nice to meet everyone. Figured I'd introduce myself to the group with some answers to those Qs posted way back on page 1. I have read through and discussed the MG and BW books at length with Mistrlittlejeans. I've also played MG a few times but still have yet to play...
