Default A Shadow Over Arvinon OC

The three protagonists

Karven Halfling Healer/Warlock (Linguz)

Maispar Lafquis Raptorean Barbarian/Dread Necromancer (VestigeArcanist)

Oloek Gellantara Elan Psion/Soulblade (TheDon)

Please discuss any options you may want to change about your character, now or in the future, that we may have discussed or you wanted to pursue.
If we have a few things to get sorted it, IC can begin in a day or two.
I'll give you guys a lead-in tomorrow.



Oh, just a couple of things.
First, out of combat is free flowing, so post as often as you want.

To make things easy to track during combat, I'd prefer you use this format in spoilers, like so~

Spoiler


And, go ahead and pick a color for your characters speech.
Any questions, let me know.

Linguz, let me know if/when you update your sheet based on the Perform(Lyre)change. Also, just realized that you need to decide on which halfling race you are from and you should note your DR 1/cold iron.

TheDon, you starting gold should be 200 (max 5d4*10). Chain shirt is only 100... so I'm assuming you have another 75 gold worth of equipment you don't have listed?


VestigeArcanist, if you could load in Maispar's description at the top of the sheet, his background info the bottom of the sheet, and his spells section, that would be great.

Also, if you can give me an idea of where in Arvinon you hail from, it will help me finishing the intro.

Think that's it for now.

Didin't realize we were using max, used average

Is there a concentration of Elan anywhere?

TheDon, I think it was on the first page but no big deal.

Yes, the Elan enclave is reported (by non-Elan) to be in the lands disputed by Arithanos and Devendwil. The high concentration of Elan in Arithanos would seem to support this.

A rough picture of Salustia, where you'll be starting.

I did put the Perform (Lyre) skill in. I put it as Stringed Instruments. And Warlocks start getting DR at level 3, not at level 1. As for the halflings, I'm going with Tallfellow Halfling.

For color, I'll go with purple.

Which of those areas are home to halflings?

I'm guessing that there is still 'turns', but we can just go anytime between your posts. Am I correct? Or can I take 20 actions before someone else takes 1?

Ok... and not sure why I thought 1st... and, ok.

Quote:

Halflings are a scatted people. All of the other free races took in the halflings from the near extinction event, Arkas having the largest percentage of it's population made up of halflings. They have been slowly renewing their numbers. Also, the elven kingdoms of Tauremena Eressea Aidanaru (eastern edge of the central mountain range next to The Granite Kingdom) and Gaermound-i-Alkarinqa'ara (the thin peninsula near the south-eastern corner of the continent) also have larger groups small communities of halflings among them.

Yes but I'm rarely going to limit your actions out of combat unless it starts heading towards the unrealistic ('While Bob the Dwarf finishes his meal, I'm going to create this master work suit of full plate' to take it to an extreme).
As far as taking 20, it might be better as a case-by-case basis but, as general rule of 2 minutes per check, we can remesh things to act concurrently.

Hmm I've found Devendwil on the map, but can't seem to find Arithanos, or is that the number 6 on the map? I can't zoom that far in without the writting becoming all blurry. Arithanos will be where I hail from either way.

TheDon, that is correct, that #6 is Arithanos.
Think we are just waiting on VestigeArcanist. It's the weekend so lets see what happens today.
And, happy Father's Day to any of you fathers.

Woo I'm here. Sorry about the delay. I was with my father for the Father's day weekend, putting on a new roof. But I'm here now

I will add those things requested to my character sheet once I get home. As for special requests concerning my character, Miaspar is on his cermonial exile from his flock, the walk of the four Winds, and will return to his flock for a small amout of time to climb its mountian via flight. I will be able to fly at level 5. And of course he is plagued by the mission given by his ancestors. Incorperating that some time in the present or future would be very nice indeed.

Edit: I suppose he is from the mountains, the Granite Kingdom if that is consistent with your world's Raptorean population.

Also, I will be Blue.

Alright, I subscribed, so I'll be getting constant messages now.

For where Karven originated, I'm going to say Tauremena Eressea Aidanaru. Somewhere along there, near mountains.

First of all, Karven is on the wagon again.

Second, I guess he attacks H1.

It is really ugly keeping track of everything, . To assist, I have listed the enemies affected by my spell (in that they must make a saving throw). I meant to do this before, but I neglected too...

All enemies within 50 feet of me:

H2
H4
H6
H8
H9
H10
H11
H12

9/12 failed their rolls, 75%, which is expected success rate of my DC 14 spell. Hopefully, -1 penalty on attack rolls will help the survivability of our guards.

He moved to to L-16, so about 25 ft from Karven.

Miaspar yells out. "Riders flanking from behind!"

A moment later, small glowing object, that looks like a red pearl, streaks over Teven’s head and lands near the spot the merchant had previously occupied.
As far as Karven can tell, it came from behind him, from between the finger-like rocks.

You don't have line of sight to the caster.

You do have line of sight on the leader so blast away.
