[QUOTE="stonegod, post: 5513745, member: 36973"] For linking w/ Skaros, here's some info I shared w/ Insight.[sblock=BG]I see Skaros as from the Principalities of Glantri. He is the last of a long disgraced princely line that performed heretical research even by Glantri standards; as such, he has fought of assassins and misinformed do-gooders that seek to end it. He is a bit decadent but very honorable. Due to the infamy that surrounds his line, he tends to keep away from high Glantri society, and probably travels often—he has a curiosity of the world. During his travels he was set upon by would be assassins, only to have them driven off by someone. Skaros swore to serve as his protector for a year in exchange. The person who saved Skaros is either one of the PCs or some random NPC. We'll call them "the Mage" for now. Almost 1 Year Ago: On the border between Glantri and Darokin, Skaros is set upon by assassins. He is saved by the Mage and promises his service. 9 months ago: The mage and Skaros investigate ruins of a former academy of enchantment. It was thought destroyed by fire; turns out that the associate headmaster had opened a gate to the Hells in order to usurp control—it ended badly for everyone. The ruins contain some lost threads of enchantment magic, but also infernal monstrosities trapped in the Academy's destruction. Skaros' knowledge of the infernal plane assisted in their survival. 6 months ago: On the trail of a supposed survivor of the doomed academy, the mage and Skaros are caught up in the intrigues of aristocrats in the kingdom of Ierendi. Apparently a cabal of merchants were going to use aspects of the infernal ritual from the academy in order to dominate trade. After succesffuly infiltrating the cabal, the two adventurers managed to interrupt the ritual in media res underneath the Grand Courthouse of that city. 3 months ago: Having left Ierendi quickly, the two find themselves in Specularum. The mage was doing research on other possible survivors of the academy (one supposedly having fled south to the Duchy) when a necromantic plague hit the city. The mage set to finding the cause, and Skaros went to protect him. In a run down shrine of Pelor, they found their answer: A fallen priest whose ritual to bring his daughter back from death when horribly wrong. Putting down the undead-thing and destroying the tainted ritual book ended the disaster. [this is a good place to have met the other party members] Nowish: Finding nothing but dead ends on survivors of the academy, the mage decides the matter to be closed. It was then they found the mysterious scroll that promised treasure...[/sblock]I think this works best with [MENTION=5478]JustKim[/MENTION] character, though it might w/ Dave's. [/QUOTE]
