[D&D 3.5] War of the Burning Sky [OOC] [Closed]

[pneumatik]

Game on! (sort of)

I started the IC thread for the game. It's at http://www.enworld.org/forum/playin...g-sky-campaign-saga-1-scouring-gate-pass.html

The first IC post is Liiros' plot hook. Once I have everyone's posted, I'll move the game to the Poison Apple, and we can start the game proper. Until then, feel free to interact with what happened in your plot hook. Keep it short, though, because I don't want to wait on moving to the Poison Apple to wrap up prelude-related RP.

Allright, I did a bit of reworking to Rashelle's gear, and added the military affiliation since it makes sense.

Background:
Rashelle(pronounced RA-Shell) is a proud servant of Heironeous. Though young, she served Ragesia's military loyally since she was old enough to don her armour and mount her horse. Her faith in the Emperor Coaltongue's wisdom never wavered, but her feelings on the new emperor are.. less than flattering. Once the Inquisitor started taking over, Rashelle could no longer support Ragesia's actions, and chose to offer her services to Gate Pass, in protest against Leska's ideas of war.
Glad to have someone with both martial skill and divine power join them, the guards readily accepted her and she has endeavoured to maintain friendly terms with them.

[Arkhandus]

Apologies for not posting there yesterday or earlier today. I play in a Saturday night D&D game, and DM on Sunday and Monday nights, so I was particularly busy and didn't notice this on my quick check of EN World yesterday or this morning.

Edit: I'm not certain what I'm to do after leaving the Staret. Obviously I'll be heading for the Poison Apple the next day, but......

Concerro, your character wasn't introduced in the prelude scene yet....only Liiros was meeting with Vilina.

I did not know you were going character by character. I will undo my post.

Here's my Crunch, I'll post the fluff shortly, in short though he comes from a military noble family, entered the knights, but due to his stature, never could become a frontline warrior.

[sblock=Background]
Sir Reginald Talingard III, or Korrin as he's known to those outside the Knights, comes from noble birth. His father was a minor whose family estate lies on the famed Summer's Hill. Reginald was expected to enter politics, much like his father, and father's father before him, but the young man had no desire for the political arena and spent much of his youth hanging around the seedier parts of town. He went by the name Korrin and quickly fell in with a crowd of thieves. Korrin lived for the moment, but always returned home smelling like cheap whiskey at all hours of the night. His parents grew more worried at Reginald's constant disappearances, but when confronting him led to a near-violent argument. Leaving the estate, young Korrin noticed a familiar face entering the complex, one of his acquantences from the slums. Thankfully, he hadn't been noticed yet and followed the other man as he entered the home and waited in the study for his father. Korrin stayed out of sight until his father arrived and saw the man give his father a small wrapped item, which was a bar of gold after his father removed the cloth.

Upon this realization, Korrin left the estate, vowing never to return when he was approached by a cloaked figure who invited him to join the Knights of the Aquiline Cross. The group desired to take advantage of the youths abilities of infiltration to use against their enemies. They first needed to ensure Korrin would be able to survive a confrontation that might ensue during his endaevors and trained him in the ways of the semi-mythical Swordsage, one who could strike and move like the wind.

[Rhun]

I am back, and hope to have my PC posted tonight. Standby.

 

[renau1g]

Added BG info

 

[pneumatik]

Rashelle's prelude is up, revealing a little bit more of what you'll be doing.

I'm having relatives over this weekend, so the next couple of preludes may not be as long as the previous ones. I'll put up something for each PC, because I want everyone to know who got them involved in the adventure.

I hope to move to the Poison Apple by the end of March at the latest.

 

[Rhun]

In progres...I still need to spend some cash. Also, I swear I saw something in one of my books about alternate familiars, and a tiny fire elemental would be ideal for this PC. Does anyone know what book that was in?



Hollister Avendri (Avendri of the Flame, Hollister the Sanguine)

Appearance
Hollister is a handsome, athletic man of some six feet in height, weighing around 12 stone. He has seen perhaps twenty five winters. He has smokey grey eyes, and pleasant (if a bit stern) features. His hair is auburn in color, and worn long. While he dresses simply in loose, comfortable clothes, said clothing is always well-crafted of fine materials...Hollister enjoys his silks and samites. He is always well groomed, with clean, manicured nails and well-trimmed beard/mustache, and he always smells faintly of perfume and pipe smoke. Interestingly, Hollister's skin is always hot to the touch; not enough to burn, but enough to startle the unwary...some say it is from his close attunement to his chosen element. He generally goes armed only with his spells and an ivory hilted dagger, set with red stone, its blade forged of cold iron (a gift from his first master).



Personality
Hollister is not what you would call a people person. He is arrogant, quite convinced of his own superiority, and given to showing off his superior intellect. Most just associate this attitude with the fact that he attends Gabal's School, but in truth, he was like this before he ever even set foot into Gate Pass. While not very pious, Hollister does rever Boccob, and shows some deference to Joramy.

Brief History
Hollister hails from the village of Burnham in southern Ragesia. Always a smart youth, it was his intelligence that allowed him to get an apprenticeship with the wizard Ninuarn that lived in the nearby hills. After just a few short years he had learned much, but knew it was only a matter of time before his master's anti-Ragessian opinions led to trouble. When Ninuarn was slain by a Ragesian Inquisitor, Hollister fled.

Having heard of Gabal's School in Gate Pass, the young mage made his way there. Hollister now attends Gabal's School, learning what he can from the famed evoker. Thus far, he has proven an apt pupil.

Well I found the following spell:

Dungeons & Dragons - Spellbook - Elemental Familiar If you want to spend some gold, maybe a higher level wizard could have cast it.

Also, the raptoran sorceror substitution level 1 allows them to have a tiny air elemental. Races of the Wild.
