Sounds good to me, although that does answer the question I left open as to whether the crime lord was killed

What Ekilu thinks of the others -
Trebuchet (Shayuri) - Trebuchet is a fitting name for this construct. He seems a bit too happy to be in conflict and combat, unlike Ekilu who would rather be done with conflict. However, he is a fine companion, and his ever-alert eyes and prompt following of orders are welcome on the ship.
Brightstar Vaukriel, Angel of Splendor (Erekose13) - 'Warrior' puts on a happy front, but Ekilu can tell, as one man of deep contemplation himself, that there is much more beyond the surface. Still, he seems a good man who's intent is to do the right thing, and Ekilu has no problems working beside the brave warrior.
Tempest Wintersquall (D20Dazza) - 'Sailor' could just as easily be called 'Prankster', but that would be disrespectful. He works hard, when he sets his mind to it, which seems to be fairly rarely. Having helped with the Crime Lord, Ekilu has some respect for him that he might otherwise have trouble finding. Fee seems fond of him as a friend, and he seems to make her smile. Ookatooli tells Ekilu he should be jealous of her, which Ekilu finds ridiculous, given he's of a different species. But still, he does make Fee laugh...
Lupaz, the Hound of Ill Omen (Kelleris) - 'Hound' is not the most pleasant creature to talk with, as he has a rather fatalistic view of life. Ekilu had pondered discussing fate with him, but he can't bring himself to take such an accepting view of what must happen, particularly as he was taught that it was his destiny to change things for his people. But while he finds little common ground with the hound, he bears the hound no Ill will, and is glad to have him as a companion.
Ianissa, daughter of prophecy (Rystil Arden) - 'Empath' seems a little too unsure of herself, despite being a skilled empath. Ekilu has met her many times, and finds her playful spirit refreshing. It is nice to find someone else who can swim such as he can.
Oobobooboo (Voidrazor) - 'Jester' or 'Ooze', Oobobooboo reminds him of Ookatooli, which means that he seems to trust him, perhaps much more than he really should for such a child like and chaotic being. In fact, Ekilu regards him much like a charge, and watches out for the Ooze.
BTW, some of you may want to have an opinion of Fee, who's a strong but empathic warrior type. You can find out about her in my background.

Yep - me and Fee are like - good friends. Don't know Ekilu though, although it is possible that Fee told me of him (depending on timelines)Rystil Arden said:
From my background: "Tempest served aboard the elemental sailing ship Stormdancer for a while where he befriended a darfalen named Fee’utikoo. Unfortunately, he was forced off the Stormdancer when he was setup and falsely arrested while the ship was trading in Bluebottom."
Sorry Erekose, forgot to reply. I sure do. Any ideas? We have a common enemy so we could have easily stumbled over each other in the pursuit of information. I may have even thought you worked for Garguel (if the first time I spied you was upon your escape) and tailed you and then attacked you, or been about to attack you when something happened to convince me otherwise.Erekose13 said:

Yep, saw that. You may get a kick about what Ekilu thinks of Tempest thenD20Dazza said:
FYI, for those not aware, Darfellan's tend to call people by function, as much as name. So the ' ' things are for names he may/has called you.
Anyway, unless anyone objects to what I've put here, I'll leave it as is, and it's on the character sheet as well.
Isida, let me know about the item if I get one, or let me know I don't

Heh, I wonder why Nissa wound up as an Empath--she doesn't even have any empathic abilitiesBront said:Yep, saw that. You may get a kick about what Ekilu thinks of Tempest then

Hrm, guess I'm the only one who hasn't done one of these. Anyway, here you go -
Ianissa: Although he respects her for her position amongst the leaders of the Kingdom of Knowledge, Lupaz finds "Nissa" to be more than a little exasperating. She insists on trying to make nice with him, as though he bore the same kinds of psychic scars that are sometimes evident with Vaurkriel, apparently not understanding that Lupaz accepts how his life has gone so far - and, for that matter, has faith in a way to improve things, although it has not yet been revealed to him. And her squeamishness around violence strikes him as absurd; anyone who will attack someone as obviously offputting as Lupaz - or Nissa herself when she chooses to be - has tacitly committed themselves to what comes next.
Tempest: Lupaz occasionally wishes he had not revealed his item-granted telepathic abilities to the hadozee because the deck ape's responses have a tendency to undermine a good silent glare. Tempest projects a constant impression that he has something sneaky up his sleeves too, making him someone to watch out for, and while Lupaz sometimes feels the same way about him, he wishes Tempest would trust his carefully-honed skills at infiltration just a bit more. At least he's gotten used to being called "Lucky" all the time, and no longer visibily winces.
Trebuchet: Now the warforged is someone Lupaz can comfortably get along with. He respects that the mage's skill set does not overlap much with his own, and that both of them are similarly focused - Lupaz hasn't quite figured out how to make use of the warforged's strange deference to perceived "superiors" (he's used to completing his missions as he deems most expedient), but he's sure he can find an amenable working relationship with Trebuchet. Even the warforged's cheery approach to violence is not off-putting to Lupaz - if there's one thing he appreciates, it's black humor. And in any case, it's as daunting to opponents as it is to the group's less experienced members.
Oobobooboo: The ooze is also disconcertingly cheerful, but at least he isn't patronizing about it, so Lupaz will occasionally find himself humoring the little pile of jelly. And he has to admit - the sight of the horribly acidic little critter ineluctably latched onto a foe is one that Lupaz can't help take as a good sign. The items the ooze carries are another matter entirely, however - their aura is strange under detect magic, and they possess a menacing, otherworldly appearance. The ooze seems incapable of properly explaining their origin, and some part of Lupaz believes that the items herald some future unpleasantness.
Vaukriel: Yet another proponent of the "deep psychic scars" theory of dealing with Lupaz, Vaukriel at least seems to have had some experiences worthy of the conflict that rages in his personality. Even better, he's decisive and competent in battle, someone who seems capable of defeating terrible foes if a little luck is on his side. As long as nothing and no-one appears to manipulate the fragile ego of the "angel," Lupaz is inclined to leave Vaukriel's healing to his own devices. Only time will tell if he remains a trustworthy ally or if something tips whatever fragile balance Vaukriel mantains for the worse.
Ekilu: The darfellan strikes Lupaz as yet another unstable personality, sometimes rash and impulsive, sometimes cool and tranquil. Lupaz isn't even sure which side of Ekilu's personality he prefers, but until he figures out what causes these mood swings he tries not to rely too much on the cleric's presence. Lupaz does have some sympathy for the darfellan's situation, however, and genuinely hopes that time will show Ekilu to be a worthwhile ally in these stressful times. The cute nickname thing is beginning to wear a little thin, though.
Ianissa: Although he respects her for her position amongst the leaders of the Kingdom of Knowledge, Lupaz finds "Nissa" to be more than a little exasperating. She insists on trying to make nice with him, as though he bore the same kinds of psychic scars that are sometimes evident with Vaurkriel, apparently not understanding that Lupaz accepts how his life has gone so far - and, for that matter, has faith in a way to improve things, although it has not yet been revealed to him.

Well, I guess we can tell who wants to be the dour loner of the group
I need to add one for Ekilu--
Ekilu: Most of the time Ekilu is a great guy and fascinating to talk to. He would seem like the perfect friend for Nissa--he has a good heart, he understands her connection to the water and has a bit of one himself, and he is in touch with the fey, paralleling Nissa's constant soul-searching about her absent father. However, at some times, including during battle, he inexplicably reverts to a terrible irrational wrath that scares Nissa. She is afraid that if he gets too close, he might lash out, but she tries her best not to hold that against him.
