(Recruiting) Spilt Blood and Spreading Blight

[Harvey]

Just posted the first draft of my character. I'm working on my background now, but wanted to see if anyone wanted to work on stuff together before I just went off and built something independently.

A bunch of us have been working together on common threads (check out above). With a population of 200-250, there's a chance we all know each other. Right now, Damon knows Rodderic from fighting together on the field of battle; the two also know Lalamil, who is the sounder for the troops (specifically the squad Damon is in). Thanos and Damon have gotten to be close thru Sister Maria; both the adopted sons of the Fort. Perhaps Costan can be included as well?

And what about Albedo, Brand, and Marius? Any interests, players?

 

[Jarval]

Brand's likely to know anyone with ties to the military side of the fort at least passingly, and anyone with ties to the Church of Baltur quite well. Not to mention the fact that as a priest of Baltur, he's probably got some dealings with the other faiths. Admittedly, I'm not quite sure what those dealings would be, as I don't really know how the Church of Baltur interacts with the other churches.

Going by backgrounds, I'd say Brand probably knows both Damon and Rodderic from either fighting alongside them, or running into them in the barracks/taverns of the Fort. Given Lalamil's role as sounder, Brand is likely to have met her on several occasions, if only in his capacity of messenger.

Connections with Thanos are harder to come by. If the churches of Baltur and Alyara have any conncetions, then he might well have met him through Sister Maria.

Depending on Albedo's faith, Brand might also know him through church connections.

I haven't seen background for Costan or Marius yet, so I'm not sure what ties Brand might have with either of them as yet.

While Albedo has not signed up with the military aspects of the Fort, he would have probably offered aid to them since he arrived in Fort Rogan. He enjoys a good fight, and wants to deal with the undead obstructing his path in the most direct way possible. That would probably best be done through military cooperation. This means the other PCs might not know him DIRECTLY, but they have probably seen or worked with him in past minor events.

Costan would certainly assist in taking arms against the undead. In fact, some days he seems almost anxious to fight them. He would try to avoid becoming an official member of the military, openly stating he'd prefer to keep his autonomy (even though he always helps). If significantly pressed, he would join.

Costan also is very open about the physical and mental aspects of his discipline as a monk. He is more than willing to discuss such things with those who are interested and has probably taught more than a couple folks at the fort a few tricks for defending oneself when unarmed.

BTW, I've also posted my background in the rogue's gallery.

Alright, since we have a good number of PCs up now (8, out of which I'll take 6), I b, I'm aiming to start this weekend.

Everyone, you've done an amazing job with this, and it'll be hard to decide. Please continue to develop this -- things don't have to be completed cemented by the time the game starts, but could be a long-term process.

Jemal:

Battleaxe damage is 1d8

What's a Stinger?

I think it's either a sling or a dart, but you've confused on which one you want to use. I'd say sling, as you'll have a hard time finding darts for sale ( ) anywhere.

Looking forward to your character's background. Ask me if you have any questions.

Marius is a Halfling, so his battleaxe is small sized, thus does 1d6 damage. Stinger WAS going to be the name of my sling, but I changed from using a sling to using darts... ALthough why they'd be hard to find I can't figure.. they're relatively easy to get, and even if not, I can craft them myself.. Marius has Craft:Weaponsmith b/c he likes using weapons he made with his own hands. Besides, 40 should be more than enough for a long while.

 

[Jemal]

Rogues gallery post fixed, along with added Appearance, Personality, and basic Background. So how do the other players think their characters would react to Marius? B/c that will determine a lot of how he interacts with them, as he's very sensitive.

 

[ender_wiggin]

I see. Thanks for the clarification. The lack of darts of more of a setting flavor thing, but if he can make them himself that's cool.

Height doesn't matter to Thanos, he will probably treat you soly based on your personality. Seeing that you are a warrior, he will come to the conclusion that size doesn't matter. Especially since your probably three times stronger then Thanos anyways.

lol my other characters I have played in this world have gone through this to.
