Anything But Normal, Sailing the Endless Falls

WOOPS SORRY RYSTIL. I started the below before you posted the above but got sidetracked cooking the kids dinner and didn't realise you'd posted until after I'd posted - if ya know what I mean.

I'm going to have to tinker with my background a little once we're all sorted out how we met.

Ok then, here's my new what I think of Brighstar.

Brightstar Vaukriel, Angel of Splendor - Tempest has known 'Nova' the longest of his current companions. During the couple of years they have journeyed together Tempest has learnt to trust the Illumian implicitly. He also knows what haunts the man for they share a common enemy and this sharing has bonded them close, almost like brothers. Tempest loves to play 'sky-chasies' with Nova and is constantly challenging the Ilumian to see who can do the most daring aerial manouevers.

Loopy, you've become Lucky. :D

So, Niss and BooBoo met during the crimelord adventure (which takes place in Bluegorge) and Nova and Tempest, who were both in Bluegorge after Tempest's misadventure with the ships manifest (Nova decided to leave the ship we were on and come to Bluegorge with Tempest), somehow played a hand in the bad guys down fall (perhaps because he was supplying information to the invading forces and Bucket was assigned to the Nova/Tempest team to take down the traitorus crimelord). The crimelord was beaten during the attack on Bluegorge and later we all wind up together on a ship heading back to the capital where we meet Lucky for the first time.


If we go with something like that then Rystil and Voidrazor can work on how they met and what happened during the crimelord adventure. Myself and Erekose can work on our time prior to Bluegorge and the moments leading up to Bucket joining us, where Shayuri joins in and we work on the time leading up to the final encounter with the crimelord and the first encounter with Niss and BooBoo. Then, we all work on the exit from Bluegorge, the ride to the capital, and the meeting of Lucky. Arriving in the capital only weeks before the coup?

Sound like too much work ;)

Hmm...I think I prefer my setup because the crimelord is in the Kingdom of Knowledge and the events flow together more naturally (it avoids this being an assignment, for instance, which is important)
 

Oh, and of course the other possibility is that if you push the Crimelord thing significantly earlier than the battle for Bluegorge and have Nissa meet up with Oob, Vaukriel, and Tempest earlier and go on some adventures together, you can then have her tag along with them to Bluegorge as long as they don't go to the court or get a specific mission from Taala during the intervening time between when they join with Nissa and when they go back together before being rewarded.

Trebuchet could very easily have been at Bluegorge...and my apologies for sluggish answer on that score. In fact, Bluegorge looks like the kind of situation he was specifically designed for. The crimelord scenario is a bit more "restrrained" for him, but by then he knew and traveled with other PC's, and would have been more than hpe to help.
 

Figured that Trebuchet would've met Tempest and Vaukriel on that campaign.

Daz, did you still want to work out where our two characters met? I figure Trebuchet would be any easy one to meet on the battlefield. But the two winged fellows might've known each other prior to that.
 

Your suggestion looks like it works, Rystil (and Lupaz would probably need the time off anyway - seizing control of a demon-led horde through sheer trickery and chutzpah kinda takes it out of you). My only concern is that we won't have much time to get to know one another, but I suppose that a few days between the coup and the island-ship-granting are all we really need.

On a more mechanical front, Isida I noticed that Vaukriel has the Stealth skill instead of Hide and Move Silently (presumably because his class is from AE). Did you want us to use one skill or two for the stealth skills? Or I guess maybe that's just a bonus for Vaukriel.

When should we have both mechanics and story done by?
 

Yeah I was a bit concerned by that while building the character. I decided to stick with the Stealth skill, but only use my AE class skill points on it. My Duskblade skill points were not spent there. Note that I choose not to take the extra feat that AE classes start with cause I thought that would be excessive.

Ooh, collapsing MS and Hide into stealth would really lovely. Especially since Oobobooboo has all of 11 skill points to spend.

Yeah, I know what you mean. It'd be nice to be able to take those Bluff ranks I've been looking at, finally.

Yeah--I had to do some real corner-cutting on Nissa's skill points to get everything she needed (Spot, Listen, Spellcraft, and Know: Local were originally maxed, and she had a point in Sleight of Hand). Having a few back would be awesome.
