World's Largest Dungeon -- Closed

[Fenris]

I'll toss my hat in as well. I have a few ideas that I will run over tonight and post some definitive concepts tommorow if not a full blown character.

Appearance:
Vorel Irthos is a radiant creature, she moves with a mercurial grace accentuated by the glisten of her silver scales with its subtle patterns and sheen of purple, amethyst, indigo, and other violet shades. Her silver and purple hair is shoulder-length and straight, worn in a variety of fashions from just falling plain, to spiky and funky arrangements. She wears a sleeveless, high-necked dress that is form-fitted to her curving figure. A diamond cut-out reveals the upper curves of her breasts and a small silver holy symbol. It falls to her ankles, each side is slit up to the thigh to allow free range of movement, although the slits are unrevealing lest she chooses to make them so. A pair of unattached sleeves cover her arms, tight across her upper arm but belling out as it falls towards the wrist. On her feet, she wears open mid-heel shoes, giving her an extra two inches of height. She carries a dainty looking crossbow on her left side next to a small quiver of bolts, while opposite that is a vicious looking blade crafted to resemble a dragons claw.

Personality:
Vorel is a creature of the moment. She exudes an air of flightiness although it is more an act than anything else, one which gets her out of the many explanations people think necessary in their lives. Explanations and excuses are there because people want to hear the importance of themselves reflected back at them, Vorel prefers to do no such thing. Let them pine over their past or exalt in their future, they don’t really know it but they don’t seem to realize they aren’t living then, they are living now.

She has the habit of singing although she has had no training in it, her voice is soothing in its own way. One that she maintains throughout even the tensest of situations, much to the chagrin of her friends.

Vorel has many associates, business and pleasure alike, but very few that she would call friends. Those that are her friends are no passing fancy and she delights in her relationship with them in every moment of her being.

Background:
Vorel Irthos is exactly what her name describes her as, a “Beautiful Secret”. She is the product of an illicit relationship between a planeswalking draconic spellscale duskblade and a local elven sorceress of some reknown. Although the child was obviously a spellscale, the fine features and peaked ears were an allusion to the elven heritage. Not willing to let the child be abandoned the elven sorceress kept the child, although she did not claim it as her own but rather a gift from the great dragon god Io.

The child was given a decent education, although she seemed more interested in the patterns of her own scales and the rhythm of her breath more than the history of the world or the ways of magic. Upon her 12th year the elven sorceress received an unmarked package from a courier who had traveled from the planes. It was a delicate silver chain with a silver pendant hanging from it, the holy symbol of Io. A gift from the spellscale who had come and gone in her life so long ago, it was fitting that it was for the child Vorel.

It was also the moment at which Vorel Irthos became a woman and passed into the world on her own. She bid farewell to the kind elven sorceress who had raised her, although she did not know that she was the elf’s child, for she had only been told she was a gift from Io, and made her way into the city of Mandala to sample the world.

Baeril Underhill

Baeril Nebehed Callad Segerf Wanderwild Underhill is a well-off gnome from the secluded community of Greenfields.

The Underhill farm is a particularly prosperous one, and as one of the younger members of the large Clan Underhill, young Baeril had a great deal of time on his hands and the young gnome has gone on extended "vacations" into the outside world, visiting places of interest and sketching them and writing about them in his green leather-bound journal. (He wears gold-rimmed reading glasses when reading or writing in his journal, but can get along fine without them by squinting.) His last vacation included getting a degree from the Ignes School of Illusion at the Redhurst Academy of Magic, lasting several years, and he wears a signet ring bearing the school's crest as a souvenir.

Baeril is a chubby 71-year-old gnome, with a significant potbelly: He is 3' 5" tall and weighs 48 pounds. He has an unruly mop of curly blonde hair, bright green eyes and round apple cheeks. His traveling wardrobe includes a pair of leather shorts with built-in suspenders known as "lederhosen" in Gnomish and which are embroidered with mountain flowers on the waist. Beneath that he wears an elegant white shirt with pearl buttons, although he often throws on a heavy green woolen sweater atop his outfit along with a matching green woolen cloak. He wears green woolen knee socks and what he calls "sensible walking shoes," but which most would consider to be heavyweight leather hiking boots. Topping the entire outfit off is a heavy velour hat dyed a dark red with a rabbit fur brush above his left ear. When possible, he has added small souvenir pins from the places he has visited to his hat, which jingle very softly when he walks. His club is a sturdy walking stick, with a leather thong looped through the top as a wrist strap and shod at its tip with a steel point.

Baeril knows a little bit about everything, but is insatiably curious about the outside world, asking questions and scribbling in his journal. He remains sunny and cheerful in almost all circumstances, although he hates missing a meal, and hunger is one of the few things that will make a dent in his mood.

He sometimes smokes an elaborately carved Meerschaum pipe. He has a habit of singing softly to himself in a strange fashion he calls "yodeling."

His familiar is a small thrush named Half-Penny who is typically found riding along on Baeril's shoulder, his hat or the top of his walking stick. Half-Penny speaks Gnomish, but typically only speaks to her master.

Baeril Nebehed Callad Segerf Wanderwild Underhill is currently just known as Baeril Underhill for the most part. Nebehed was the name his father gave him when he was born, Callad was the name given to him by his mother and Baeril was the name he gave himself when he came of age. When he began his vacations, he picked up the name Segerf, and when he attended Redhurst, he went by the name Segerf Wanderwild. He's currently thinking about picking up a new name and trusts that Garl Glittergold will drop inspiration into his lap on his newest adventure.

---

With your indulgence, he'd pick up bard at 2nd level, then gnome paragon for three levels, and then most likely back to illusionist. (Although matching levels of beguiler with his illusionist levels would be tempting).

 

[RobotRobotI]

Don't suppose you'd be against a Dragonborn Halfling Warlock, huh?

Mister DM Guy, how opposed would you be Exotic Weapon Proficiency: Improvised Weapons?

 

[Ferrix]

Whizbang, you really like those gnomes in lederhosen and yodeling... odd fascination

He will find a home one day! This, I swear!

 

[Voadam]

I'm interested, will think on class stuff for a bit.

 

[Boddynock]

The character has evolved. I was taken by the idea of planar connections. I don't have the Planar Handbook but I hope you don't mind a bit of Planescape background. I've had him hail from Sigil. If that's a problem he could come from somewhere else. I've taken the liberty of giving him a couple of planar languages - Celestial and Infernal. Let me know if I need to make any changes.

Appearance: Jerolan wears his glossy black hair pulled back into a ponytail, which he fastens with a dark blue leather thong. His chain mail shirt, which he keeps highly polished, likewise has a blue tint. This contrasts with his clothes which, while strong and serviceable, are coloured a soft, dove grey. He wears knee-high boots of leather dyed to match, and the hilts of both rapier and dagger boast a small insert of lapis lazuli. When he draws his dagger, however, his outfit turns to greens and browns, as the rich yellow light of the continual flame spell cast on it transforms the midnight colours of the swashbuckler at peace.

Jerolan favours blues because, quite simply, they match his eyes.

He is lithe and lean, and to see him in melee, with both blades awhirl, is to see poetry in motion. He punctuates his parries with a wit both biting and wild.

Background: As Jerolan Valantir will tell you himself, he is a blood on the move. This Cager is currently uncaged – seeking the dark of a family secret.

Jerolan’s grandfather came to Sigil a century ago and settled in the centre of the multiverse. A mage of some repute, he married and lived happily – until the day he received a message from an old acquaintance still on the Prime, and straightway disappeared, like some new-come clueless rattling his bone-box, and earning a one-way trip to the Lady’s Mazes.

The note, which he dropped in his haste to be gone, said simply, “Come. Magnusson.” Now Magnusson was the cutter who called Granfer his friend. The family found it. On a whim they framed it – some sentimental urge to keep the last thing he had handled, and a constant reminder that it’s the darks that are unknown which can most quickly disappear you … or land you in the dead book.

Jerolan read that framed note each day – and every day he wondered what had become of the old Halfling. Until the day he read it, and stopped, amazed, in his tracks. For it did not read, “Come. Magnusson.” Instead it said, “Come. Now. Mandala.”

The youngling slipped on his armour, strapped on his blades and kissed his family goodbye. Then he set out, vowing to return only when he had news of his forebear.

 

[Voadam]

Thinking about a druid with the new shifter PHII option and spontaneous casting option from UA. Is there an issue with summoning in WLD in addition to the wizard restrictions?

 

[Kafkonia]

He will find a home one day! This, I swear!

He's found one. We have our first party member.

Everyone else -- I like what I'm seeing, but I'm withholding judgement for the nonce because I want to see what else comes in. The lederhosen was just too good to resist, however.

RobotRobot -- I'll have to think about those and go over my books when I get home.
