A brand on his cheek marks him not as a slave, but something more esoteric—he is a member of a local gang of Silt Sea pirates, all of them half-elves, supposedly now all dead.BackgroundThe Cross-Blades were an anomaly in Athas: A community of half-elves bonded together in common adversity. A hard band, they roamed the Silt Seas near Balic as pirates, but also as guides, guards, privateers for rival merchant houses—whatever paid.Daran grew up in this life, and his natural wild talents were honed at an early age. His natural guile was turned into a weapon of the mind, both tough and dependable. Was was out on raiding parties by 16.His life changed less then a year ago, when, after returning from a escort job by one of Balic's local Houses, he found the Cross-Blade's enclave destroyed, burnt to the ground. Though dead monsters littered the site, Old True Eyes found trails that indicated the involvement of men, though none of their bodies were found. Someone had wanted the Cross-Blades destroyed.The remaining members of Daran's crew separated, some continuing the life in other employ, others retiring, others still searching for what happened. Daran become a blade-for-hire, his talents good for solo and group jobs. But, over the months, the other Cross-Blades also began disappearing. Two weeks ago, Old True Eyes, bleeding from a mortal wound, died in Daran's arms. His last words: They did it, Daran... they did it.Daran has now entered the game, determined to find out who "they" are and to enact his revenge.Hooks- Is one of "them" (who Daran has other vague clues of) in the tournament? Running it? Profiting from it?- Can the sorcerer-king tell him who "They" were?- Do any other Cross-Blade survive?[sblock=Daran]====== Created Using Wizards of the Coast D&D Character Builder ======Daran, level 3Half-Elf, Ardent|BattlemindArdent Mantle (Hybrid): Mantle of Elation (Hybrid)Hybrid Ardent: Hybrid Ardent FortitudeHybrid Talent: Psionic Study (Hybrid)Psionic Study (Hybrid): Wild Focus (Hybrid)Theme: WilderBackground: Half-Elf - Wanderer (+2 to Streetwise)FINAL ABILITY SCORESStr 13, Con 17, Dex 14, Int 10, Wis 8, Cha 17.STARTING ABILITY SCORESStr 13, Con 15, Dex 14, Int 10, Wis 8, Cha 15.AC: 17 Fort: 15 Reflex: 13 Will: 15HP: 40 Surges: 11 Surge Value: 10TRAINED SKILLSBluff +9, Athletics +6, Endurance +8UNTRAINED SKILLSAcrobatics +2, Arcana +1, Diplomacy +6, Dungeoneering, Heal, History +1, Insight +2, Intimidate +4, Nature, Perception, Religion +1, Stealth +2, Streetwise +6, Thievery +2FEATSLevel 1: Hybrid TalentLevel 2: Adept DilettantePOWERSDilettante: Brash StrikeHybrid at-will 1: Demoralizing StrikeHybrid at-will 1: Concussive SpikePsionic Defense (Hybrid): Mind SpikeWilder encounter 1: Wild SurgeHybrid daily 1: Implanted SuggestionHybrid utility 2: Psionic VigorHybrid at-will 3: Unnerving ShoveITEMSGreataxe, Chainmail====== Copy to Clipboard and Press the Import Button on the Summary Tab ======[/sblock]</blockquote>
