So, have you found a reason why you found yourselves in Athrand? If you know each other or not? My first adventure is ready and my second one is probably like 90%+ finished. I am ready when you are, theeyetyrant can always join later, if he's still with us...

Nunri is a woman about leisure. She had been taking her respice in the town for a few weeks, pretending at being a woman-at-arms (true) who is spending her pay from a long engagement as a guard for a merchant (not true). In fact, she has been living off the proceeds of her last burglary.

She made friends with the group, serving as an impromptu translator.

I reckon we may have met doing temporary caravan guard work as we are all competently militant and probably quite poor. We followed the caravan to Athrand and need to find other work and/or opportunity there.

If one of us hear of a job that would require more hands, the peoples of the group would be the natural one to approach.

I like the caravan idea, it could also be a merchant vessel and we hired on as guards, did the overland trip to Athrand and now we find ourselves looking for work. Either way works for me. We have worked together and probably had a few personal conversations on the way. So...new thread to start the opening scene? (Those who are ready say "Aye", unless GM kalajel has some more blanks we need to tidy up.)

The caravan idea sounds good to me

I'm ready to start.

I shifted some points and Liroc now as 46 point in Elvish.
Can I keep 1 background point as an improvement point? (I will probably want to accumulate 3 to boost STR as my next improvement)
Will improvement point required downtime to be used or they represent what you already practiced for?

I re-checked the rules about Background Points to be sure, and I guess you can keep some to spend as Improvement Points later. It says they are basically Improvement Points you're allowed to use at character creation, not that you absolutely have to use them. So yeah, I'll allow it.

Improvement Points will not require downtime, they are assumed to be things you "learn on the job". At least, given the Improving Outside of Adventures rule on p.55, this is how I interpret them.

@ Qralloq: Oh yeah, I almost forgot, can you post the picture you used for your character's avatar so i may make a counter for her?

Lets start with a Human and see what the dice say.

STR,CON,DEX,SIZ,INT,POW,CHA - (3d6, 3d6, 3d6, 2d6+6, 2d6+6, 3d6, 3d6)
3d6 - ( 1, 3, 3 ) = 7
3d6 - ( 3, 6, 1 ) = 10
3d6 - ( 1, 6, 1 ) = 8
2d6+6 - ( 3, 4 ) + 6 = 13
2d6+6 - ( 2, 6 ) + 6 = 14
3d6 - ( 6, 1, 1 ) = 8
3d6 - ( 1, 4, 2 ) = 7

7 rerolls on 1's gesh.
Rerolls of 1's - (7d6)
( 2, 2, 4, 6, 2, 3, 2 ) = 21

STR 8, CON 11, DEX 16, SIZ 13, INT 14, POW 11, CHA 9 Hmm going to need to add a point to STR for weapon use by looks.

Age - (2d6+16)
( 4, 5 ) + 16 = 25

Additional Goods x10 - (6d6)
( 1, 6, 6, 3, 3, 1 ) = 20 x 10 = 200

Cassi & Coring are ready to be looked over. Were C & C.

Rolls

STR,CON,DEX,SIZ,INT,POW,CHA - (3d6, 3d6, 3d6, 2d6+6, 2d6+6, 3d6, 3d6)

3d6 : (133) = 7

3d6 : (361) = 10

3d6 : (161) = 8

2d6+6 : (34) + 6 = 13

2d6+6 : (26) + 6 = 14

3d6 : (611) = 8

3d6 : (142) = 7

Rerolls of 1's - (7d6)

(2246232) = 21

Age - (2d6+16)

(45) + 16 = 25

Additional Goods x10 - (6d6)

(166331) = 20

Welcome GeneCortess. Your character looks good. You just need to add the free +20 bonus to Language (Elvish) as it is the "common tongue" of the setting. Also please post the picture you used for your character's avatar so i may make a counter for her.
May 13, 2020 5:25 pm
Unsure how to post a picture or I would.
May 13, 2020 5:35 pm
The image tool is above text box, right between the colored tex tool and the link tool (it kinda looks like an old polaroid picture). Simply copy and paste the image url in it and then post.

Thanx. Yep. That is the one. Looks much better large. I didn't do one for her hunting dog.

Here's the hunting dog

Female Human:

Cassi is 25 years old and she is 5'6" with a tan complexion. She has silky long black hair with dark black eyes. Commonly found in leather armor with a hatchet as well as her dog Coring. She is long legged and almost no hips to speak of although she fairly well endowed. With a loaded backpack she is ready for action.

She wouldn't have any real mass if it wasn't for her rather broad shoulders. Her long legs do her well for running. She is comfy in the wild as well as the city. She is quick eyed for her surrounds and fairly athletic for lean body.

She does have one fear and that is snakes. She was attacked when she was young and has never gotten over it. Snakes can paralyze her with fear and inaction.

In her youth Cassi was trained to be a sorcerer, but she is a novice at best and did obtain a scroll that she learned her only and first spell. She hazards to even cast it as she has so little ability.

School girl that is a trader. Well familiar with orcs (raiders). She can work well with leather. Trained to drive wagons and knows how to ride a horse as well. She is silent as she moves and knows her trade well. She is well noted to be an excellent shot with her bow

Obvious Gear:

Well Worn Brown Leather Armor
Goat Skinned Waterskin

Hatchet With Hammer On Opposite Side Hanging Off Her Belt In A Holder
Pearl Handle Dagger Usually In Her Boot
Exquisite Red Wood Shortbow Wrapped In A Brown Leather Holder When Not In Use
Beaver Skin Quiver Slung Over Her Back with 30 White Shaft And Blue Fletching Arrows

Sturdy Rough Brown Backpack Filled With Goodies

Hunting Dog - Coring - Black and White Shepard

Cleaned up Cassi character sheet some to make it more usable. You did allow Orcish as a language because you were going to use them?
