Secrets of the Greenwold PC creation/advancement

Eozindra is the albino bard. :)

Thanks! Here's the writeup I included in Morik's sheet:
Morik ran across Eozindra while she performed at a tavern. He bought her a meal and beverage in exchange for some stories, reciting epic poetries and stories of derring-do adventures. He told her of his time spent with Bramlin overthrowing Byron Gould, a corrupt small town mayor who's been chasing him ever since.

Here we go! Visual aids make everything better. I’m a glutton for punishment. Let’s try rolling hit dice for level two.

EDIT: Yeah that went about as well as expected.

She is an elf?
Elowin tried to give ceremonies the elven goddess in Mara, but no one showed up and that is why she quit.
Perhaps Eozindra attended as the only one?

She is half-elf, would that make a difference for Elowin’s ceremonies?

Based on the way Eozindra left Mara, it would be unlikely that she would be able to attend a ceremony as such … Elysia could have attended and then told Eozindra about it — and Elowin — later on, though.

Elowin follows Lunae, God of Stars and the Elves. Halfelves would be welcome. In the end, everyone would be welcome. One of the reasons why Elowin left the city is that she couldn't justify being I'm Mara as nobody attended. And she wanted to see the world.

Let us just say that Elysia attended a few ceremonies. Its enough for Elowin to remember her fondly :)

Eozindra will definitely be interested in what Elowin has to say, especially if Elysia went to any and told stories about it. So many E names, this is going to get wild. Very excited :D

Just for clarity
Eozindra is the albino halfelf bard, but who is Elysia ?

lol; sorry yes. Elysia is half-elf rogue. Not sure what her appearance is as of yet. They travel together so I just know that stories could reach Eozindra from Elysia.

Is Elysia another PC or an NPC?

Elysia is @Kilikina’s character

Ah, I hadn't updated the character list at the beginning of this thread; sorry about that! It's updated, now.

@spaceseeker19 Would you allow me to expend some of my currency to equip Eozindra with some of the things I feel she would have acquired by now in her journey? Mainly the flute that she uses (since her lyre is a family thing) and journals/extra ink for writing/composing in?

Yes, that's fine. How long have the two half-elves been in Grayhaven at this point (realizing that the caravan has been traveling to the city from Mara for the last 18 days)?

Second-level questions:

Here's some questions to consider for each of the characters, as they have all advanced to level 2. Feel free to answer them in the thread or just consider them and incorporate answers into the game when it feels natural. Or, if they don't grab you, don't answer them; they're just meant to help flesh out how your characters are growing in their own and each others' eyes.

Adran: You've started in with infusions. Thematically, what is the makeup of your artifice? How have infused items changed your appearance/presentation?

Bramlin: You've learned to push yourself even further than with your second wind ability. When you Surge, what does that look like? Is it a hyper-focused thing, a burst of speed, a brief contact with a timeless sublimity, or what?

Elowin: You've developed a deeper connection to Lunae that has empowered you to rebuke undead or provide succor in the sweet dimness (Twilight Sanctuary). How did this develop? Was Elowin visited in a dream, or did she discover part of the mystery of the relic she bears? How does the power of Lunae register to the senses when Elowin channels it: is there a smell, a taste in the air, a particular vision or tactile sensation?

Elysia: What is one situation where your ability to cunningly act saved you and/or your friend Eozindra from worse trouble?

Eozindra: Has your song of rest been more beneficial in helping you and your companion Elysia recover from escapades, or in building relationships with contacts in the City who have been healed by your music?

Morik: You have worked hard at it, and have finally mastered the art of changing shape into a beast. So far, you're seen a giant spider and a bear, and you can transform into either. We know about how you saw the spider in part 1. What was the circumstance where you first observed a bear close enough to understand how they move/act?

Morik also fought wolves, would they be available as well?

What kind(s) of spiders were encountered? Was it just the big ones, or would small spiders be allowed as well?

Elowin had for at long time a theoretical and theological connection with Lunea. But on the road she had real need to work Luneas magic to save lives and vanquish a real moon-called monster. People died because she could not protect them. This was focus of her meditations over her reliquary. That is how her new powers developed

Her temper and the direct relationship with Lunea is something we can work on to the next level

When she channels Luneas magic, there is the smell of moist and the air is a bit clammy - like in the evening just before dew would fall.

@Redamancy what look are you going for? I found using the "comic book style" sat a tone that I really liked and the AI had plenty of source-material to work with so the result is pretty good

This was my promt

Yes, you have added Wolf and Giant Spider to Morik's repertoire as well. In addition, there are several common <CR1 beasts that Morik has seen in everyday life: Cat, Dog, Frog, Mastiff, Mule, Riding Horse, Spider, Rat. What other normal, non-monstrous beasts has he observed during his life in and around Mara? He saw the brown bear, yes: do you have an idea what the situation was in which he saw it? That's just an opportunity to flesh out the character a bit more.

@runekyndig
I think "comic book style" is the phrase I needed. I do enjoy that look. I appreciate you looking into it for me. :D Ultimately, I combined a couple different images I pulled from AI and did some recoloring to get something I liked. She’s sort of a Lady Amalthea (Last Unicorn) variant. Pale, lilac eyes, but with insane curly hair instead of sleek and straight. I’ll dabble more with art just for funsies in the future.


@spaceseeker19
Maybe a few months? Not terribly long, I’d think, but long enough to start building relationships would be nice. I was going to ask: how long does it take to get from Mara to Grayhaven? As in, how far away is it? If it’s far enough away that they would feel comfortable settling in a bit, then I’d like to think they have done so which will lead directly in to …
If they’ve been there long enough to settle in, I’d like to think she uses her music to help others. She could perform to help people recover from their hard days, soothe their spirits and lighten their emotional loads a bit. If doing so would enable them to form connections within the city, it would definitely be something Eozindra would want to do. Given her history, she would look for every opportunity to meet and interact with others. If she came to realize that her music was actually helping others in a real sense, she would seek out any sort of hospital or convalescing spaces to play for patients as well.

High on their initial priority list would have been finding a secure space for sleeping at night. I don’t think it would even have to be the same place every night; perhaps there are a few inns that will provide a room for a night whenever she performs? Or maybe they’ve made a connection with a sweet old widow with lodgings to let for cheap, offsetting the cost by running errands and whatnot.
