Rhun's OLD Greyhawk ALPHA OOC Thread (ToEE) -CLOSED

Heh. Alright, then. I didn't think he would go down so fast.

Honestly, I didn't expect you guys to cleave through his troops so fast. I expected him to be able to cast spells from behind protection for a while first. He wasn't really meant for up close combat!

Fair enough. He won't really end up better equipped though. Item one on my list. . . wand of cure light wounds. You can all thank me later.

I don't think anyone will complain about him having that item at all!!! Out of curiousity, do you know which god you plan on following?

I'll thank you now.

Yeah, I pretty much have the concept all fleshed out, I just haven't written it up yet.

Marco is a LN cleric of Boccob. A student and librarian, Marco became obsessed with his opus, a book of the internal workings of the humanoid races. However, some people became mighty touchy about his poking around in dead bodies.

He often visited the temple of Boccob, in his capacity as god of knowledge for guidance in how he could gather his research. He kept this up for a while, while getting in as much research as he could get away with. Eventually, amused by his perseverance, Boccob granted him his answer. As a cleric and healer, nobody would think twice about his examining wounds to get an idea of what was going on beneath the skin. Of course, this would require going out into the world, where injuries were more along the lines of sword wounds than scaled fingertips.

He is a dedicated and skilled healer, with all the bedside manner of the boogie monster. He shows at times a grim and morbid obsession with blood, bones and flesh. But he will fix you up very well when he's done poking and proding.

Defining quote. . . "Interesting. . . does it hurt when I do . . . THIS?"

Now we just need to come up with a story of how to introduce him, and how to retire Kine. Perhaps Marco examined the wrong body in Chendl, and at the request of a noble, the king sent Marco away, to aid the group already dispatched for Hommlet?

A wand of lesser vigor is actually a better choice for out-of-combat healing (even for the DM... no dice rolling required), and for in-combat-healing a cleric won't really need it.

With all those crits that surely wasn't on the average.

That is one possibility.

A simple alternative if I could get him written up in time is for him to be a prisoner of the Master, caged up in the next room That way you get yourself an obsequieously grateful, slightly creepy cleric right away.


Kine's retirement is slightly easier. He's never been entirely with it, and the deep dark underground has been disturbing him. Perhaps the world song simply tells him to move along and he does so.

True, good advice. I can pick that up. It gives me more time to examine the wounds before they close, too
