Adventure: A Tale of Two Domains (DM:Luinnar, Judge:renau1g)

Jax's thoughts drift back to the streets of Bacarte. To the times when he was forced to find a warm stone alleyway every night or freeze to death. To when the other urchins called him "lizard breath." To the many, many times he cut purses from uppity rich women and pickpocketed wallets from unaware men. Except for the name calling, being an adventurer hasn't been terribly different from those experiences.

OOC: Your characters are some of my favorites because of these sad/funny moments of doubt, self-reflection, and self-deprecation. Almost everyone else is busy being a hero and it's a nice change.

That said, Jax could murder the hell out of anyone who called him "lizard" before they even got to "breath" where he's at now.

Jax's key fits and the locks click, releasing the women's bounds one by one. Afterwords the kobold gently eases her to the ground, she is surprisingly light, even in Jax's small arms.

GM: Just in case I gave the wrong impression, the "memories of your past" thing was just an excuse to add your character theme, the theme does not have to be related to your background :)
 

"Are you okay, miss? Who are you? How did you end up here?"


[sblock=Ironsky]Thanks, Ironsky! I like having flawed characters. Maybe it's a reflection of myself since I'm pretty self-conscious. At first, I tried to base each of them on a deadly sin. Jax = greed, Jezebel = wrath, Toeto = sloth, etc. On heroics, I'm actively trying to play Toeto as entirely UNheroic, lol. Her spirit companion is more of a hero than she is.

Anyway, I don't think I do speech very well - I'm better at describing actions. That's why I love Sir Exsixten so much. His error messages are consistently hilarious. I'd give you XP for every post if I could.[/sblock]
OOC: [MENTION=44459]Luinnar[/MENTION]: No worries, I would have picked guttersnipe anyway. Although it would be funny if Jax was unwittingly a noble adept. Gosh, he really IS a prince!
 

As Jax released the woman, Brenn stood back against the wall, trying to keep an eye on the rest of the room. The way things had been going in this evil place, he thought that the 'poor woman' would be some sort of monster, justly imprisoned, and who could tell what kind of trouble was likely to break loose once she was released...

OOC: If you would like Jax to actually be a prince, I would be able to fit it in if I do another adventure ;)


The women does not reply to Jax's comments. She seems too exhausted to make any movement or any sign that she heard him. Perhaps something needs to be done to get her back to a better state of health.
 




[sblock=ooc]In solidarity with those without DDI, I also am forgoing themes. Well, no, it's because all the currently available themes either don't fit Andras's backstory at all, or offer next to nothing mechanically.[/sblock]

Andras hobbles over to the woman and gently tips the contents of a healing potion down her throat.
