The damage roll is 5. That'll be the end of my turn I'll try to get that written tonight after work or some time Friday

Duly noted!
Looking forward to your post. ^_^

Is Shang really the only one who has any respect for the establishment you people are blindly picking a fight in?

Sorry, I completely missed your post. ^^"
But yeah! That is a good point!

Thankfully, I can resolve the social rolls in the next DM post. XD

Kovu is just like this is normal, we fight all the time in my homeland.

Ariel’s trying to protect the peasant!

<Snipped quote by Crimson Flame>

Nope. She can still cast a spell when it's her turn.

I mentioned it to help keep track. Right now, Ariel has only 2 spell slots for her first level spells. Once those spell slots are used, she won't be able to cast 1st Level Spells until after she takes a Long Rest (which thankfully for her is only 4 hours). After a long rest is completed, the spell slots will be replenished.

So Vicious Mockery would probably take the other spell slot.

This makes me relieved she’s a Sea Elf and not a Triton.

Oh no. Vicious Mockery is a cantrip, so that won't take a spell slot.
Ariel can use Cantrips as many times as she wishes. ^_^

From a threat that only she was able to successfully perceive. To everyone who failed the check (like me) you are aggressors.

Well, that’s to be expected…

@Guardian Angel Haruki

So I finished my character sheet. Please let me know if anything needs changing.

---

Name:
David Xanatos

Rolled Stats:
Rolled this. Didn’t like it so I used the standard stat array instead.

Character Sheet:
Link to Mythweavers.

Appearance:


Standing at an even six foot, David is a little taller than most men one would find. With deeply tanned skin, a gift from his father being from Chora, David is conventionally attractive. His hazel eyes sparkle in the moonlight, while his dark brown hair is kept in an immaculate pony-tail, as is his beard which is perfectly trimmed. While generally dressing extravagantly, David has changed his attire since departing on his quest. Now he wears a set of dark leather armor as a base, covered with a nice dress shirt and pants. On the top layer is a large brown jacket, which goes all the way from David’s shoulders to his leather boots.

Personality:
David is a driven individual, always having some kind of plan in mind. He can go quite stir crazy if he’s not actively doing something and as such will make sure that his days are chock full of activities. At first meeting David appears to be a sociable man, able to get along with anyone, making them feel good. But this is actually years of practice, David having figured out how people work by purposefully making the transformation from fisherman to businessman. David has become quite good at manipulating people, often playing along several people at once, making them do what he wants.

However this mastermind type of life has left David with few real friends or people that matter to him. He is estranged from his father, he hasn’t been able to maintain a romantic relationship, and he just ends up using most people he meets. This has left him with a sense of emptiness in his life, one that he has tried to fill with many things. Wealth, status, renown, none were enough for David. That is until his current obsession of living forever came about. David wishes to become a living legend, a piece of history that all future generations could not ignore.

Backstory:
Born the son of Petros Xanatos, a poor fisherman, David had an unremarkable childhood. His father had left an island near Chora for a better life in the Americas. And yet he remained poor there, spending his day fishing along the eastern coast. From a young age David proved bright, and he dreamed of making something of himself, something to be remembered.

David would struggle against the limits of the fishing village he lived in. He wished to leave and do better things, but he had not the money needed for such a trip. That was until he was a teenager, when a mysterious courier gave him a package. In said package was a single gold coin, but what was special about the coin was its age. Dating thousands of years back, this coin was worth a fortune. Immediately nosy neighbors began watching David, wanting to see what he did with the coin.

David would decide to disappear one night, using what funds he had saved to make the trip to the big city. Once there, David looked for a potential buyer of his coin. While several people were interested, David was a fierce barter and would not settle for anything but the best. When he did finally sell the coin, David used his monetary windfall to start his own company.

As David aged, his company grew, eventually becoming known as the Xanatos Trading Company. And even with his wealth, David felt not at peace. While it seemed that his company would outlast him, David became obsessed with immortality. Researching as many magical texts as he could get his hands on, David eventually believing that such a thing existed in Camelot.

Crossing the ocean, David would arrive in the less civilized northern part of Camelot. However, due to time magic situations, David would never find the Magus’s Tome and as such wouldn’t learn of the cursed Gargoyles of Wyvern Clan. Instead David would learn of Avalon, a mysterious island of the coast of Camelot that may actually be its own plane.

David would spend years trying to find Avalon, until he met a man named Owen Mercer. David would quickly deduce that Owen was in fact the Fey known as Puck. Eventually, Puck would take David to Avalon where he met the Fey King Oberon. After proving his intentions to Oberon, David was offered a choice, become immortal now or gain the power of Oberon and control over Puck. In a moment of ego, David believed that he could find his own way of becoming immortal and thus chose the second option.

In making this choice, David was bonded to Oberon, gaining his power, but also a duty to help him when called. David and Puck would then depart Avalon and head back to the Americas. With his new Fey-powered Warlock abilities, David would set off on a quest to find his own way of becoming immortal, leaving Puck, in the Owen Mercer identity, in charge of Xanatos Trading Company.

I wish…that I could live forever, be a part of all of history.

@Martian I see the Time Travel Shenanigans is still a part of his story!

David Xanatos is accepted!
Go ahead and post the character in the Characters Tab.

Once the first battle finishes, I’ll help with introducing Xanatos. (I have the perfect scenario in mind. XD)

Is Shang really the only one who has any respect for the establishment you people are blindly picking a fight in?

Well in my defense, I'm playing a somewhat wild child backing up her new friend, so no, zero concern about respecting businesses.

Ariel is kind of impulsive anyway. This wouldn’t be too out of character for her. xD

I'm sure this will play out totally fine and in our favor. 🙃 On a serious note, I think you're right and I do hope it'll have some consequences if we keep bashing everyone and everything that comes our way xD

It's a good thing that there are some mature characters in the party who can help the two of them through navigating social situations... Maybe, possibly.

Of course there'll be some consequences. XD Why wouldn't there be?

Post complete, looks like it's the other bandit's turn now

What? No, I'm a delight in social situations.

it was a hit though he did aim for a non-fatal spot

FYI, you can't do non-lethal damage with a ranged weapon.

And it looks like we're officially out of initiative!

Everyone is now free to post at will. XD
If battle starts again, we'll reroll initiative.

@Guardian Angel Haruki
Thanks for accepting Xanatos! I’ve moved him over to the Characters tab. Please let me know via mention or PM when it’s time to bring in my character.

No worries! Welcome to the game!

I will be sure to do so. ^_^

Since I'm pretty sure I started the whole trying to non-lethal with ranged weapon thing: Yeah, my bad, but the DM can overrule book rules when reasonable. So it's still fair to ask or state intent.
