Deuce Traveler's Six Nights to Yearsend (Ptolus one-shot)

Bedford, here are your character's contacts:

- Helling 'Hell' Manstriker (Half-Orc Fighter 10), is a retired fighter and now a trainer and promoter of gladiators that Skrymer had the pleasure (and sometimes unfortune) of working with throughout his gladiatorial career. Ol' Hell had the ability to talk Skrymer into several fights that dealt with taking on multiple opponents at once, and there were times when the werebear was convinced that the other side was using poisons and other tactics to cheat. Skrymer's complaints to Hell went on deaf ears, and he eventually cancelled his arrangements with the half-orc, but he is still friendly to the werebear and can sometimes be relied upon to know of recent events in Ptolus' criminal underground.

- Hennam (Female half-elf, Warrior 1/Druid 6), is a young woman that Skrymer once met while paying his respects for a fallen comrade in Ptolus' Necropolis. She lives on Clasthamus Isle, which is one of the rare, uncorrupted places of peace and meditation that can still be found within this increasingly dangerous portion of the city. Hennam is always eager for company that brings news of the rest of Ptolus, and her curious nature also means that she sometimes sees things in her portion of the city that can be valuable.

How do you feel about the Leadership feat deuce? Maybe I could attract a medic-type cohort since my team doesn't have a healer. (although I've never taken the feat before, so I'm not sure how it technically works. Do I control the cohort, etc...)

You could go for that if you want immediate healing, although your cohort would be of lower level and limited healing ability compared to what your needs would be. Also, since this adventure will take place in Ptolus there can be healing easily found in the city. A magic item such as a staff of healing might be more valuable for someone to have.

Scotley: Thanks! I can't wait to see the final version. Any contacts he would prefer?

OnlytheStrong: The way your teams side of this adventure will go, avoiding combat might be the best idea. ;)

Placing Skrymer in Group B and Percival in Group A.

Aye, I trust our DM will take the lack of heals into account. Forget about the cohort - unless someone else in the group wants to do it that is. I'm not really up to controlling 2 characters at once.

Percival in Group A.

How about a good healer? ;)

The background I'm working on now involves his being a big fan of the elves, so something in that community might work well. He comes from a Merchant family (women's undergarments :lol: ) so a commercial contact would make sense.

Contacts:

- Percival comes from a wealthy family of woman's lingerie dealers, which is something he tries not to bring up in conversation, although he enjoys the connections he has from this background. One such connection is with House Erthuo through Cordelia Erthuo (fermale human aristocrat 4), who tries to pass advice to Percival's artisan family because of her personal experiences with their clothing line. House Erthuo is a family of scholars that generally stay out of politics while researching all things elven, since their bloodline is a mixed one. Cordelia is a good source of both Ptolus family politics and elven history, and enjoys Percival's presence when House Erthuo holds a galla.

- Mand Scheben, (Human cleric 11) is a follower of Asche and a high-ranking member of that god's temple. He sees Percival as a good man, and since the duskblade has come so often to him for healing they have formed a trusting bond and Percival can count on a 10% discount for any healing from Mand. Mand is a possible candidate for the next seat in the City Council, and is in his late 30s with a winning smile that has made him the most popular priest of Asche in the city. His charm is only bolstered by his sincerity.
 

I love the contacts, thanks. I think they fit in nicely with his background. I have a 98% complete character now. I just need to spend the rest of his cash on healing potions and maybe a little more gear. Are we likely to do much riding? Would a horse be a good investment?
