Pathfinder 1E INTEREST/RECRUIT - TIDERULER - THE FALL OF LAHOLT (HIGH-LEVEL CHARS)

[Archon Basileus]

Dragons vanished around two thousand years before the events in the story. I'd leave the Queen's own time to your deliberation, but I'm assuming a bit below a thousand years (time enough for a civilization to grow and disappear).

Well, she survived for long time and was destroyed by Drow and their demons in the war for Myrash. Say 1500 years ago? That would make her old and powerful dragon, but still long enough ago to be essentially forgotten.

I just need to imagine how someone from viking age would see renneissance humans Weaklings

 

[Shayuri]

Eh, fair enough. The language thing isn't a huge deal. Can just say a 'somewhat archaic' version...like the difference between Victorian English and Modern English. They're mutually intelligible, not separate languages, but one definitely feels 'older' than the other.

 

[Archon Basileus]

We can set that character trace as a particular manner of speaking. Might be interesting for distinct charisma checks, hehe! "She surely sounds pompous..." "Really? I found her so wise and... sophisticated and... and... wise!"
[MENTION=24380]Neurotic[/MENTION], 1500 years sounds about right! I guess we can set it up like it. Since you and [MENTION=4936]Shayuri[/MENTION] 's character share a link, I thought about merging your backgrounds with the plot.
[MENTION=813]jmucchiello[/MENTION], got it! I have a pretty decent idea of your character and I can merge the group together now. It's a great fit for the plot!
[MENTION=6801311]KahlessNestor[/MENTION], this fits in perfectly!

So, let me discuss with you guys a few ideas:

1) I had envisioned the factions to be representations of the 'barbaric' dilapidation of Laholt, lacking organization and leadership. It seems to me that the characters would be 'at home' if they belonged to these so-called 'invading hordes', since we have two wanderers, so to speak, and two nature-inclined characters.

2) A few ideas and questions that occurred me:

- Being from a monastic order and a protector, would Zyara might have been attracted towards the starting area on account of suspected demonic presence.

- As an adventurer, Daxio saw a opportunity to turn a profit, maybe even fall into the graces of a local lord, while helping an old friend. Turns out the old friend is as much a womanizer as he is, being a Satyr...

- Fintir and Aranel could belong to communities allied with the elves and Satyrs that took an ancient city, not too long ago. I was also considering how the kobold tribe deals with the elves, if there is any contact at all, of course.

There's more, but let's start here.

 

[jmucchiello]

Zyara is easily lured by the siren song of demon rumors. (Phrasing could be better, I suppose.)

 

[Neurotic]

Green dragons love elves, there are no better appetizers

Fintir would lead kobolds to an alliance. Forward scouts, perimeter guards with traps, underground force, ambush predator, forest guides (elves? Probably not needed ;-) ) and similar functions

 

[Archon Basileus]

Green dragons love elves, there are no better appetizers

Specially the neonates... So tender.

Ok, I'm gonna start this! Brace yourselves!

 

[jmucchiello]

LOL, I love how Shayuri's character intro and mine are totally opposite. Zyara is walking alone through deserted streets of a city with the fear of plague keeping people off the streets. And Aranel is attracting crowds, apparently drawn my fearful citizens into the streets. Both work. Just a great dichotomy.

 

[Shayuri]

Hehehe, I figured there'd be some people still about, and those few people might follow her and bump into others and so on. She may have dragged them over a distance because lights shine even brighter when all around is dark.

Or something.

 

[Neurotic]

As I understand the setup, it is the plague that affects only the most powerful. I'd say that average Joe and Jane have no idea there is some trouble brewing. But [MENTION=6855545]Archon Basileus[/MENTION] can correct my misunderstanding if it is indeed one
