Malvoisin's Savage Tide OOC Thread *Resurrected*

Malvoisin,

I am having a problem coming up with any "heroic" deeds for Anar...maybe it is just my inability to conceive that a first level rogue has had many chances to perform heroic deeds. Would it be possible that Anar is invited to the party simply for his charming, dashing personality? Ideas would be most appreciated...
Anar could have talked down a potential brawl on a gondola he was traveling on (happen to be full of various nobles that then gossiped) when a street tough at the dock though he was due satisfaction from the gondola operator over some perceived wrong. Perfect use of his charming ways.

I like stonegod's idea quite a bit. Something along those lines seems as though it would be right up Anar's alley....

True enough. Alright, let me bounce some thoughts around today, and I'll try to get the background update tonight when I get home from the office (or earlier, if it is a slow day).
 

A spin on this would have been Anar planting the encounter to bump up his "appearance" to those on the boat looking for an in with them. After the "fight", he went back and enjoyed some drinks with the guy as they chuckled about the whole deal. Basically this idea is stealing the premise from Maverick where he paid them the thugs to make him look tough in front of the other poker players.
 

Read on Meta that the network problem has been fixed for some people, so maybe we'll see LO one way or the other soon.
 



Okay, for those of you who do not have Dragon, I'll summarize the Affiliations (new rules in PHBII, which I believe Mal has):
- Church of the Whirling Fury: Secretive group against planar incursions. Likes chaotic warriors who fight demons; dislikes summoners of demons or those who deal with them
- Dawn Council: Sasserine ruling faction. Likes charismatic, wealthy folks; dislike chaotic, crime fiends
- Scarlet Brotherhood: Infamous in Greyhawk, a faction of specific human supremacists and assassins. Likes Suel human rogues and monks; dislikes chaotic do-gooders.
- The Seekers: "Scholarly" society of treasure seekers. Likes history and geography buffs that donate treasure; dislikes people who give away secrets or loose debates.
- Witchwardens: Arcane defenders of Sasserine. Like arcane spellcasters; hates non-arcane spell casters
- Zelkarune's Horns: Fighting company renown of the arena. Like's arena champions; dislikes non-arena fighters.

Given the above, the Seekers make a good fit with Col, with the Whirling Fury a bit behind (as long as they don't find out about his demonic dealings! :)) Using the base information, Col's affiliation scores would be:
- Dawn Council: 0.5
- Church of the Whirling Fury
- The Seekers: 0
- Zelkarune's Horn: 0
- The Scarlet Brotherhood: -2
- Witchwardens: -20

Of course, having a score doesn't mean membership.

If anyone wants more specific info, send me an email and I'll get it to you.
 

Chaotic? Nope
Demon-fighter? Nope
Wealthy? Nope
Assassin? Nope
History and Geography Buff? Nope
Arcane Spellcaster? Nope
Arena Champion? Nope

Looks like I got hosed.

That's probably the easiest one for Keoni. But, keep in mind that (1) they're optional and (2) more will be introduced later in game. So don't despair.

Course, Mal can always design his own. ;)
