Malvoisin's Savage Tide OOC Thread *Resurrected*

Well, fellas, we're getting near to the point where we'll need to write Chongo out, and write a replacement in. With that being said, I would like to extend an invitation to covaithe to write up a character sheet for admittance into the game.

I realize that there is something of a risk involved in inviting an unknown such as yourself into the game, covaithe, but I meant what I said about being interested in finding new blood. We all had to start somewhere, after all. :) Plus, I am impressed that you have read the lengthy IC thread. This demonstrates a certain amount of commitment right there. And, I like the idea of a Nordic-type barbarian for the group...kind of a far-from-home 'fish out of water' type...there is some interesting potential there. I realize there may be a bit of a learning curve here, but I'm sure you'll find the other players (and they're really good!) to be a big help.

Anyway, thanks also to Jdvn1, Leinart, and Jemal for your interest as well. Our paths may yet cross in the future.

covaithe, please go ahead and stat up a 2nd level character sheet and post it over in the Rogue's Gallery. He should have 1000 xp, and...mmm...I'm not sure about the equipment. Anybody got a DMG handy? How much cash for starting equipment at 2nd level?

And, of course, a background is needed. You could have your guy having known Chongo, but it's more relevant that he know at least one of the other PCs. To metagame for just a moment, Chongo is about to go 'bye-bye', so we need one of the other PCs to say, "Hey, our tank's gone...fortunately, I know this other beefy blonde guy who swings a mean axe..."

This post was, admittedly, a bit rushed, so if you have any questions, just ask.

Everybody, this is covaithe....
Covaithe, this is everybody.... :)

Table 5-1 Character Wealth by Level puts it at 900gp for a 2nd level character.

barbarian sailor, essentially a Viking. Tall, blond, carries a big axe, and has served as crew/muscle on dozens of ships out of Sasserine, legitimate and otherwise. He crewed with Chongo and got along well with him, and knows Col, at least by reputation, from his pre-madness days. He hears that they're getting mixed up with Vanthus, and looks for Chongo to warn an old shipmate that Vanthus isn't very nice.

This being Greyhawk a Suel from one of those viking style barbarian groups, Hold of Stonefist, Snow Barbarians, Ice Barbarians, or Frost barbarians (?) (frutzi or something like that I believe) sounds like it fits the bill. Kord being the suel barbarian god they generally revere.


Welcome aboard.

I think Telchur and Vatun(?) are also popular among the barbarians.

Right...during the Greyhawk Wars, Iuz assummed the form of Vatun to unite the barbarians against the southern realms, I believe. I think Xerbo would fit the character concept best, though.

Kord, god of athletics, sports, brawling, strength and courage
Telchur, god of winter, cold and the north wind
Vatun, god of northern barbarians, cold, winter and arctic beasts
Llerg, god of beasts and strength
Norebo, god of luck, gambling and risks
Xerbo, god of sea, sailing, money and business
Syrul, goddess of lies, deceit, treachery and false promises

The Snow Barbarians are the Schnai. The most popular deities among the Snow Barbarians are Kord, Llerg, Norebo, Xerbo, and Vatun.

The Ice Barbarians are the Cruski. The most popular deities among the Ice Barbarians are Kord, Llerg, Norebo, Xerbo, and Vatun.

The Frost Barbarians are the Fruztii. The most popular deities among the Frost Barbarians are Kord, Llerg, Norebo, Xerbo, Vatun, and Syrul.
 

Eyvi Hafmundarson is up over in the rogues gallery. Have a look and make suggestions, particularly with regards to feats and equipment. I'm working basically straight from the SRD, and I'm sure you guys know lots of neat things I'm missing. Stonegod, I've written Col rather heavily into his background; feel free to veto, or suggest changes.
