Darkness Under Cold Stones

[Voadam]

The initial idea was to offer slots for four characters and pick five if a fifth charmed me with it's concept or story. I've got to admit I quite like the concepts here and how they interrelate, so I will take the five of you .

Woohoo!

Created a little background and updated my sheet above.

Very nice job, Voadam. You captured the exact feeling that I want Balund to have!

Glad you like it. It can be tricky writing up a different PC's character, glad I didn't step on any toes in doing so.

I just suddenly thought of an entirely different history for my character, it's allot more interesting, has allot more to do with the world, and allot less to do with my character class. It's still got allot to do with your character though Scotley. If it seemd like I'm ripping off a video game, it’s because I am. Anyway, tell me what you think. Ok, here goes.

<snip>
If you haven’t heard of the game I ripped off, gee aren’t I creative? I should think on the toilet all the time.

Cool stuff. I like it much better. I can't say I'm familiar with the game. That isn't saying much of course, the last game I played with any frequency was Heroes of Might and Magic III. Be glad you have time to play.

Perhaps you should move your computer to bathroom for enhanced creativity. I'm still trying to figure out how access mine wirelessly from the shower as I tend to get my best ideas there. Most likely because that's the only time I have privacy and quiet most days.

Extensive... and goot!

I like it... how does Sion fit in here?

notes for me:
Queendom of Felunus - Queen Kellena
Kingdom of Dowain - Duke Rolgarth
Nether Blade... I know who they are in the game .

Thanks. I was kind of thinking Sion would be an NPC, we don't really have to any NPC allies so far. Now that I think about it though I guess I can see why. I'll remove her you've got a problem with it, though I'd rather not kill her off completly. Maybe she was severely injured in the trek north, that's the only thing that kept the character she's inspired by from following me everywhere.

Anyway, Woohoo to five players!

Also, thanks for the complements Scotley.

No problem DL, she will have gotten a severe case of frostbite and upon arrival will have to be left at the care of the local healer.

I thought it'd be a good idea to start explaining where each of you come into the initial picture:

Ivan - Danya asked Ivan to search for any help he knew possible... she had sensed a bad omen, as had the other Brothers and Sisters... they all woke up cold, with cold penetrating to their bones. Balund and his constant speech of spirits was instantly brought to mind to Ivan. He knew where to find Balund, he should wait for at least a week at a given cave in the outskirts of the Winter Wood, eventually Balund should show up... but it's been years...

If we grew up in the same town, Ivan might have been one of the few who wasn't afraid of your spirits, given his own propensity for mysticism. However, with Balund gone into the wilderness for so long, any friendship is likely to have withered.

Balund and Thoma - Ivan arrived searching for Balund and managed to bring them both to town. He spoke about problems with food... about humanoids or beasts to be felled who probably were impeding the arrival of food to the town... and some omens that needed of Balund's walk through the spirit wold.

Zhalan - When Zhalan arrived at the Red Dragon Inn, carrying an unconscious body, a small chaos ensued, ending up with Zhalan being housed at the local healer's (Danya's) as well as Sion, who was in dire need of help. (Hadn't expected for the next settlement to be two weeks away from the last)

Kragor - After that night cut by nefarious dreams, Kragor couldn't manage to catch sleep again -actually proved to be favorable, moving him faster... the cold season should be ending, but it seems to be midwinter here- as he collapsed at the tavern's treshold, he was taken to the healer's (Danya's). When he starts waking up he can see another figure in a matress beside him, and a young man sittiong on a stool (Zhalan).


Feel free to flesh out the details here at the OOC thread... (I think I'll create a new OOC thread just for neatness sake... eventually)

Cool, just so you know, Zhalan took on the name Shoon and he and Sion both claim to be bounty hunters.

I'm also going to edit his euipment because, damn it, now he just has to have a nunchaku!

I'll work up a character sheet for Sion if that's ok.

Oh, and Zhalan still doesn't trust Duskblades, thinking that they changed their minds about neutrality.

I'll assume you are updating your character sheet with all this information...

Good thing to know he doesn't trust Duskblades... For the time being he doesn't need to know Kragor is a Duskblade... and Kragor doesn't need to know Shoon is Zhalan... Of course, I expect that through roleplay eventually some hints will be dropped by both (because if not it'd be a really stupide thing... two excellent backgrounds that don't shine on the game...)

 

[Scotley]

Yeah, it shouldn't be too hard to figure out that Kragor's a Duskblade. He's got their emblem on his sword with only a leather wrapping to conceal it. He just doesn't have the skill set to pretend to be anything else. And theres the fact that he wears armor uses a sword and casts arcane spells, yet can't sing or play...
