Message: <blockquote data-quote="Neurotic" data-source="post: 4756303" data-attributes="member: 24380">Berrek Sandblade[sblock=OOC] In PbP it's hard to play withdrawn character without speaking as it's hard to convey body language and fine details that come along short sentences which would happen in face-to-face. Berrek would be more suspicious and silent in face-to-face...[/sblock][sblock=For unleashed and Rathan]You may have noticed (as you said you observed all of us) that Berrek wears a badge that marks him as member of The Black Hand, semi-secret police of the mage guild. Such insignia shouldn't be worn openly.Rathan, you might decide that he may not know about The Hand, but he is third level and I think he would have at least heard of them...[/sblock]"Discussing our abilities and tactics would benefit all of us and I don't think we can discuss such while traveling, we would be distracted and spread out. Any other issues may wait.As for mounts, if we take them we have to take a groom to take care of them as there won't be anyone to keep an eye on them once we enter the castle or later some dungeon, cave or ruin.I need to take some trail rations for the trip, I'm otherwise ready to go.My specialty is scouting, including spoting and removing any threat from ambushes and traps. I can sense a spellcaster from some distance and have some ability to render them less potent.If you allow me, Lord Malacon, I would demonstrate. I need to touch you. You have my word you won't be harmed by it, but it may tingle a little bit."[sblock=If allowed]If allowed to proceed, Berrek lays a hand on Eltyr and takes Detect Magic. He then waits for Eltyr's reaction."That would be all from me."[/sblock][sblock=If NOT allowed]"As you wish. I'll try to describe it, but I don't understand it fully myself. When touching willing spellcaster or attacking unaware one, I can sometimes focus the hit in such way to take some energy from him in form of his spells whether prepared or cast. I can use that energy to cast that same spell.That would be all from me."[/sblock]Berrek steps away and picks some fruit to nibble on while others offer their abilities. He distractedly looks over his cloud amulet turning it this way and that.[sblock=For Rathan ONLY]If Eltyr allows me to take a spell, Berrek casts it as soon as somebody else speaks to offer his abilities. (That's why he withdraws from the group and picks the tables). Turning back toward the group he focuses his enhanced sight on the artifact.If Eltyr doesn't have another detect readied, assign random spell from same level to be taken.Berrek's amnesy: I assume that he will know some things about himself because he awoke with his equipment and as he handles let's say thieves tools in his mind spring names and uses of this or that item. What he cannot remember is where he learned those.Those less physical skills (that are not 'build-in' by training) such as spellcraft and arcana knowledge are mostly forgotten (represented by 1 skill point level)[/sblock]</blockquote>
