My wife decided that I was lawful good extremely stubborn and had a knack for machines and dirt. Also the original Forgefly was a character in an Isida Kep'Tukari game and was quickly turning into the Dwarven God of Winter. Once a dwarf always a dwarf.

The IC thread is up at long last, thanks for waiting.
In Character Thread
I am trying to start In Medias Re, so we start in the middle of a combat. I provided a map, to make up for my tardiness, you may use it or not. If you choose to use it you can identify where you move to by Column and Row, (I move ahead 10 feet to G14)
Please remember that Eberron is a swashbuckling setting, if you need to bull rush an opponent, don't hesitate to *I grab the branch above me and kick out with both feet knocking my enemy back*, instead of, I bull rush him and push him back as an example. I will be rewarding Swashbuckling with various small short term benefits up to and including free temporary action points.
So lets get out there and buckle those swashes.

The Rolling Man,
Just for clarification you worship the progenitor Khyber, not one of the fiends or daelkyr trapped within him, is that right?
Everyone,
I enjoyed the descriptive and flavorful depictions of your actions. As a further example of how bonuses for swashbuckling works, I'd like to take use the example of Karienna. Her full description of components, and her witty repartee earned her a +1 DC to her sleep spell. It isn't a huge bonus, but in this case it was the difference between sleeping 2 goblins and 3 goblins.

This potential is good to know. This is going to be interesting.
Also, please remember to put At least your first name, race and class in your post subject.
For some who are not used to that it may take a little bit of time to get in the habit.
This will be ever so helpful trying to sort out what is happening to who and who's doing what.

Right, at least that is what he believes. Maybe the voices that guided him are really coming from a daelkyr or a Rakshasa Raja.
Note that I'll make up his precise beliefs as I go along but the basic idea is that Khyber is the main progenitor Wyrm and that Dwarves are one of his best creation (I don't remember reading anything about dwarven creation myth in Eberron, so this is Vonval's own controversial theory). Their place in the depths of Khyber has been usurped by his corrupted children (fiends) and by invadors from Xoriat. So, to put it simply, he believes that Khyber gets 'bad press' because of the current situation but he's really the 'good guy' in all this.

Fantastic.
There is a little hint of the dwarven homeland in ECS which suggests that the Dwarves believe they came from Frostfell (pg 220 ECS) But the dwarves could be wrong and really they are children of Khyber. Or perhaps they came from Frostfell via Khyber, where the Great Wyrm changed their very natures to make them hardier and superior to all other creations (from the Dwarven point of view of course)
