Scales of War #1 Rescue at Rivenroar (Full)

[Goonalan]

Just to say that due to lots of changes at work, none of them good, and with the threat of me and/or my partner being made redundant, and with much increased work loads/pressures, then I've had to cut back on my gaming time.

I've quit my Maptools game, cancelled my RL game and dropped my other PBP- all of which I've hated doing.

This PBP is the only D&D I get from hereon in for a while.

That said there may be times that due to work I will not be able to post- I will do my best to post to say so, but... I may not get the chance.

Likewise there may be times when I throw myself in to this... apologies ahead of time if I yo-yo, life is just not great at the moment, and this my be my escape.

I'm damned if I'm going to give up all my D&D- it's the pressure release I need.

Hopefully you wont notice the difference and things will continue to be as great as they are.

I just want to take a moment however to say thanks again, I am continuing to love our game here- I hope there is much more of this to come.

Thanks again, no pressure, but you're keeping me sane.

Cheers Paul

Oh, that is not good. Hope things will become better for you soon!

[MENTION=17633]tiornys[/MENTION] is that a euphemism?

Unintended by me, but yes. I had the whole "lounging in the door" image before I started typing. Once I got there, it seemed like Ah-shahran would be doing something besides just leaning there, so I added the bit about the staff, then realized how ridiculously suggestive it was. Of course, I had to leave it in at that point

[MENTION=16069]Goonalan[/MENTION], sorry to hear. We'll do what we can to help keep you sane! Don't worry too much about a bit of irregularity; we'll understand.

Some of us are getting old... and we worry about irregularity all the time........

Glad you're keeping us around for your own sanity's sake, goonalan. This game does wonders for me as well.

So hair colour/style, eyes, skin colour- other facial features, tattoos, scars and/or jewellery.

Then work your way down- clothes, armour, weapons etc. including colour, detail etc. If everthing is just plain then just say so, if it's worn then say so- same if its nasty and full of holes.

I know your races, it would be good if you could add on age, height and weight.

Cheers PDR

OK, so for Velani then...

Age - 36 (and she likely looks 40+)
Height - 5' 7"
Weight - 155 (yes she's been retired for a year! she's workin it off...)

Hair - severe short cut; wild, tossled look for what there is; dark brunette
Eyes - brown, average
Skin - light-skinned, white human woman... she spent a lot of time in armor, not out tanning like all the other medieval gals
Face - oval; overall smallish head, but proportional
Lips - small, slightly upturned at the corners

Hands - rough, not slender or 'lady-like'
Chest - nothing spectacular
Waist - again, nothing spectacular - no hour-glass figure

Armor - hard-worn, un-polished steel; purposeful and useful; not 'titilating' in any way; neck-to-knee/elbow type coverage; Fallcrest emblem on breastplate
Arms/Hands - simple dark brown leather gloves, well worn, again with Fallcrest emblem on backs of hands
Feet - Heavy leather lowers (ankle and below) with lace-up leather uppers to the knee
Waist - simple leather belt with scabbard

Sword - in left hand - simple longsword
Shield - in right hand - nearly as wide as high with rounded, scalloped edges; worn steel with black edging; a few obvious blemishes/dings

No jewlery save a simple wedding ring. No scars or tattoos.


As for Freggo - I'm really loathe to describe a character I had no business in creating. I'd hate to go off track and it not be what Goken had in mind for him. I will leave it to you, goonalan or anyone who's been here since the beginning, to decide how he should be represented if we haven't heard back from Goken by the time you want to submit all of this.

To that effect, again I ask all of you: what little I've done so far, have I captured Freggo? Any advice? I'm not even comfortable chiming in now in the IC thread with him.... I suppose it's because he's such an awesome character and I don't want to 'ruin' him. Help!

Hello everyone! I'm here to take over for Kali so the botting isn't needed! Hooray!

I'm told you guys are in a break in the game and it's a good time to join up; can I get the CB file and maybe a bit of background on the char for RP purposes? Thanks to all of you and I hope we have a great time!

 

[tiornys]

Hooray!

The L2 version of Kali that I've been using is linked here.

Of particular note: I didn't choose a theme for Kali. I suspect [MENTION=16069]Goonalan[/MENTION] will let you add a theme.

The impression I had of Kali from hairychin's play was as something of a maverick, but I didn't have a strong enough grasp of him to be comfortable with the portrayal (sort of like larryfinnjr has been uncomfortable with his portrayal of Freggo--I only hope I did as well with Kali as I think he has with Freggo). For the duration of my stewardship he's been silent unless the scene really called for speech.

Dang, link didn't show any CB files. Dug through rogue's gallery and got the level 1; what's new power and feat?

 

[tiornys]

The link was to a post earlier in this thread that had the CB file uploaded and talked about my choices. Or at least, that's what I intended it to be.

Anyway, I took Axe Expertise and Invigorating Stride.

OOC: Looks like EnWorld is going wonky - Quote replies aren't working at all, and Quick Replies end up posting the "Please click one of the Quick Reply icons in the posts above to activate Quick Reply." Workaround - use Quick Reply, before you post it, copy it. Then, after the bogus post shows up, edit it and paste your original post in. At least that works.
