Jungle Deeps and Ocean Depths - Calling Erekose 13

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

Not sure how to tie that to the other characters, though. Ideas anyone?

Hmm...I know that my character and WhatKu's should probably be easy to work out backgrounds that tie together...being from the same deity. I'm building my guy out to be an Undead Hunter who truly hates undead above all else...I'm still trying to work out exactly WHY the poor guy's in Chult...but I'm getting there. Maybe as well all get more background info we can figure a way to tie the character together some way...

still workin on my story. so far what i have figured out is that he is from the sea of fallen stars around the vilhon reach or dragon coast area. he grew up with an aquatic elf community who had problems with sahuagin and sharks. eventually he left the community to find out more about his heritage. he managed to find a portal to his grandfathers citadel in the plane of water. there he found out that he was a prince (like 20th in a long long line). he was given a quest by his grandfather (a marid) to bring him a vial of water from a sacred pool deep in the chultan jungle. so he is on a quest to be accepted into his grandfathers court. i havent worked out how long he has been in the area, it is possible that it has been quite a while. in which case i could easily work on a joint background for the later part of his backstory as he would seek companions heading to chult or already there.

First part of my character sheet is posted; I'll work on it some more either later tonight or tomorrow.

WhatKu - I'm ok with the demon-summoning... provided you and your LG cleric companion can come to an understanding. It may be an uneasy understanding, it may be a barely tolerated understanding, but it must be an understanding.

Erekose - I'm going with a +4 for the half-dragon ecl. (And by the way, despite the screen name, I'm a woman.)

Velenne - looks good at first glance. I'm glad to see a saurial, they're cool. Though I wonder what he rides...

WizWrm - The story looks quite interesting. I can't wait to see how the character turns out.

For simplicity's sake, would everyone put their "wish list" at the very end of their character sheet for now? Thanks.

 

[Erekose13]

my appologies, i guess the screen name threw me off. i dont think i had picked up on it at all either here in your other games or on monte's boards, sorry bout that. i should have my character's background and personality/description up tomorrow.

 

[WhatKu]

Yeah, I think a meatsheild would be best for my cohort. We have good magical fire power, good sneakyness, but the Living Spell is our only tank. Oh, and stay away from a Paladin. Halark wouldnt mesh well with one. He does what he has to do to keep the church and such going.

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

Ok guys, I've looked over the character sheets thus far, and though I know everyone's far from being done, I do have a single beef.

Spellcasting Prodigy. Now, I'm not opposed to the idea of the feat, but the fact that both our spellcasters (thus far) have taken it. How can it be a feat for prodigies if everyone has it? It's starting to become one of those feats that makes me twitch slightly when I see it. I totally understood why both Ankh and WhatKu took it, it's an excellent feat, but it has become too common.

Guys, I'd like to ban Spellcasting Prodigy. You two are free to select another feat, and I apologize for not bringing this up earlier (I was hoping I wouldn't have to).

dave_o - Where are you dude?

Also, everyone make sure to remember their free regional feat. And for your stats, just put your stats down and after them, in brackets, indicate how you go there. Like Dex: 26 [18 (16 points), +2 racial, +2 level increase, +4 Gloves of Dexterity].

I like how people have been putting down the costs of their gear, as well as the total cost. That helps.

Remember - everyone needs to put, at the end of their character sheet, their wish list for items. I don't want to have to wade through the OOC list if I don't have to.

WhatKu - I got a fighter coming on line for you. He/she (not sure yet) will be along before the end of the week.

Okay Undinar is finished. I hope that my background covers the requirements for the living spell, having been in the presence of a half-elemental for many years and then visiting the palace of a marid. Let me know if I should include more on that front. Also I have left the last few years of his travels un-written, ie his time on land. I can try to work in a bit more party interaction in there.

 

[WizWrm]

Bleh...

Taesshan is mostly done. I've probably overlooked something obvious.

So how shall we know each other? If you don't want to read his massive background, the gist of it is that he was a Nar barbarian before encountering a magical accident and being dropped in the middle of a major city, where he decided he'd rather be an apprentice to a than return to his tribe, then spent a bit of time on his own before enrolling in a college of magic. I haven't written down his reason for being in Mezro yet, since that might depend on how he knows the other characters or vice-versa.

 

[Erekose13]

WizWrm any idea which big city he landed in. My character is making a bee-line from the Vilhon Reach area to Chult. He will need to find information and any large city on the way would be good. There are a few in Vilhon Reach, some along the Lake of Steam (dont have a map on me but I think that is what it is called), and definitely a couple in Calimshan. Would you happen to have been in any along there?
