The Last Gods OOC - The Candlelight Avengers

I'm surprised that Turin even thinks Jharvym has a 'nurturing mother' side. He does have a soft side, but he rarely lets it show, and if he ever heard someone phrasing it that way, he wouldn't like it :D

I'll write up one of these too--great idea Ferrix!

Was just going more for the extremes of docility to raving beast ;)

Ah, well that much is true ;) Jharvym might have said he went from the cold logic of a timeless immortal to the heated immediacy of a raging beast or something like that :D

I'll go with: "or something like that"
 

G'day all,

I'm liking the idea of not knowing each other yet, being an established company means we already have an agenda (and possibly a mission already underway). Not knowing each other lets us role play a bit to get the feel of things.

We could all just be sharing a camp ground for the night. Doesn't one of the travel gods have roadside campsites/shrines around the place? It's a foul night and we where drawn there for company and security, when all of a sudden whats his face steps out of the fire.

Anyway gotta go to work, have a good one.
 

I'm just as happy for us to assume a prior relationship, it solves a lot of those trust issues, alos we don't have to get into to much detail over what we're doing, perhaps we returning from a mission, when we encountered Azreal, whatever we were doing we'll be putting it aside for the rest of the night, until we complete this mission.
 

I agree with LordRaven that this Azrael thing most certainly needs to come first before whatever we were doing before--the whole 'world will end' thing is sort of a drop-everything kind of deal :D

Here's Jharvym's views on the other characters:

Turin--Turin is a staunch ally in battle, and there are few he fought with over the years that Jharvym would rather have at his back, even the githzerai zerth and elan with whom he slew illithids so long ago. However, Jharvym considers the conflict between Turin's martinet social code and his reckless abandon in battle to border on hypocrisy. He has no problem with this, however, as long as Turin isn't trying to tell him what to do. He sees Turin's own personal belief in his code as a strength and the source of the discipline that lets Turin channel his power, much like Jharvym's psionic focus, but Jharvym doesn't try to chide others for being unable to achieve psionic focus.


Athear--Jharvym sees a bit of a kindred spirit in Athear, another being that can survive the wear of the ages through cool logic and personal power yet sometimes finds himself consumed by raw emotion. Of course, Athear's passion for dragons is quite different and much more innocuous than the beast that lurks within Jharvym.

Kori--Jharvym looks up to Kori as a stable levelheaded source of calm serenity within a group that otherwise contains many firebrands. If she will allow him, he often tries to quietly join her as she meditates with her spirits, seeking inner harmony. She is the group's only female, and Jharvym simultaneously considers the actually-younger but older-looking woman as a wise mother figure and a younger sister who is a bit frail and should be protected from harm

Azrim--A sometimes-dangerous curiosity, the dwarf knows quite a bit, but Jharvym considers him far less relevant as a speaker of esoteric knowledge than Kori because of Azrim's absentminded-professor tendency to become lost in crazy hypothetical realms, whereas Kori speaks plainly and insightfully. Jharvym considers Azrim to be the most dangerous, if not the most powerful, member of the group, himself included, for a brilliant mind brimming with arcane power but lacking the proper discipline is far more of a threat than the beast that lurks within.

Damien--Jharvym finds it easy to relate to Damien's feats of arms in the defense of the innocent, much like Turin but without the baggage of the whole 'Knight's Code' thing. He envies Damien's easy way with others. When he looks at Damien analytically, he can't see why the other man is able to relate so easily, especially compared to the other members of the group, many of whom seem to be objectively more charismatic than Damien. Sometimes Jharvym wishes that Damien had a bit more discipline at his disposal, but since he knows that his own discipline is lacking in controlling the wild essence within him, he doesn't complain.

Kerin--Jharvym once followed the gods, but they abandoned him and his family over a century ago, and he has forsaken them. He has believed only in himself for a long time, at least until meeting Kori and becoming somewhat impressed with her spirits. Regardless, he does not fault those who walk the path of the gods, but neither is he ever completely at peace with clerics once they learn of his atheistic tendencies, as they are not often willing to grant him the same. Even so, Jharvym finds that he agrees with Kerin's actions more often than he would expect for a holy man. However, he often Kerin's sententious moralising a bit obnoxious.

Yay for Jharvym being a spoilsport! ;) Hopefully the sack won't explode or something right off the bat, I mean, I hope D20Dazza isn't that bored with the game yet! ("The game starts." "Yay!" "You all die." "Boo!") This ought to be a fun group.

You have to admit though, if the bag did explode and kill us all right at the beginning, it would be pretty funny, and probably go down in the annals of history as an example of "Well at least your GM didn't..."

But yeah, Jharvym doesn't have our metagame knowledge that the plot hook will be safe, and even then, he trusts Kori more than Azrim not to do something foolish of the two big brains in the group :D
 

We're going to have a big fight over who opens the bag, LOL.

I think we have enough people trying that it should open fairly easily at this point ;)

I'll do my writeups hopefully in a bit.
 

Jharvym - In some ways Jharvym reminds Damien of a slightly more uncouth version of himself. He seems like he's generaly a good hearted guy, but he's got a real temper to him, one that can put many barbarians to shame. His fighting style seems to work well with Damine's, and togeather they make a dangerous pair.

Damien - Damien has a very good opinion of himself, and simply wishes to share himself with the world. He just happens to be more successfull with women than with men in many cases. Of course, with his way with people, Damien is a natural choise as leader to the group. Now if only the others could see that...

Kori - Kori is wise, but is slow to act on her wisdom. When caution and patience are good, she can be a fantastic ally. However, sometimes Damien feels she can be too slow to act when the pressure is on, and that time waisted can sometimes make a difference between life and death. Damien considers Kori a good friend.

Athear - Seems like your standard calm elf, though he's a bit touchy about dragons. Seems a little off for a caster, but he's good support to have in a fight.

Kerin - A little more of a warrior and an optomist than most clerics Damien's been around, Kerin is a fine companion and a welcome sight on the battle field. Like most clerics, he's lacking that swagger of a true self-confident warrior.

Azrim - That dwarf is a little off. He's uptight for a dwarf, and even more obvlivious to his surroundings than any dwarf he's seen. He's big into studying, particularly in othere ways of spell casting. He's a good friend, and usefull in a scruff, but he's still... just off a bit.

Lord Knight Turin - If there's anyone who Damien should understand, it's Turin. Turin reminds Damien of his older brother Daniel, taking this knight and nobility thing a bit too seriously. He's a fine companion, and a good and loyal a friend you could ask for, but sometimes Damien has to wonder if it's his personality that keeps his armor so stiff.
