Quills and Swords

Nice map 👍🏻
Lots of opportunities and space to fill with lore :)
Aghh I hope I get picked. The suspense is killing me! 😬
Also ‘when’ I get to platinum I’m thinking of picking fire again and getting some more coloured flames 🔥🗡🧝🏼‍♂️🐉

@TipsyonTea

Thanks, all done now :)
If I raise intelligence to Excellent in game, can I pick up the new flame color? Keen for some ig development and learnings :D

Arden Thorn

Name: Arden Thorn (Arverisden Tharuen -Elven)
Race: Elven
Class: Fire sword
Rank: Silver
Affinities: Fire (red) Spirit (body)

Attributes

Strength: Average
Intelligence: High
Agility: Average
Dexterity: Average
Constitution: Average
Resilience: Average

Brief Backstory: An Elven lord of royal blood. A distant descendant too far removed to be noticed as a candidate for the throne, and too uninterested to care. Many opportunities were thrust upon him, an excellent education, ownership and business paths, political careers, oversite and education. But none of those fed into his great wander lust, his sense of thrill seeking adventure and most importantly, his need for purpose. That need to know he was helping people and making the world a better place.
Not one for rules himself, he was quickly drawn in by the stories and reputation of the Adventurers guild. It sounded like a fun bunch to call family and so, soon after learning of them, he did.
Weapons: Sword and Golden Armour
Abilities: A skilled swordsman, he was professionally trained. His style is one of skilled calculation over brute force, knowing his limits and studying/reading his opponents he uses momentum and balance to out wit his enemy. His magic, as if personifying his personality, the manifestation of his will and determination, is flames that lick his body and/or weapons. He throws this fire around to gain combat advantage or uses the energy to enhance his speed and strength.

Still a little bit to tidy up.
Can we lower our attributes a step to raise a different one? I’m interested in being more well rounded. Alternatively could we have a different attribute bundle to pick from?

Own ship each or as a crew?

You each get a ship of your own design, and you get to decide how and why it works.

They're all single occupant ships, like fighter craft.

@chukklehed

So where will we be based? I’m guessing these don’t have beds and aren’t made for long distances?

Terrenum: The Great War (Fantasy/Realistic/Dice - Recruiting Applicants)

Ezlan was only all to willing to trade stories for accommodation. Eager for the opportunity, he would do it without trade. He even attempted to subtly weave in morals of trust, and while reading his audience, tug on strings of sympathy and have them thinking of the Tiefling they left out in the cold horrible weather. He wouldn’t push the agenda too far though, enjoying the comforts of a solid roof and warm fire, but he tried.

The next morning he was woken up from his drunken slumber and chased out of the house having overstayed his welcome. Unable to recall the actions that caused such treatment, he was given a rough start to the day, unable to barter for breakfast or supplies. Out on the wet road, his head ached heavily and empty belly rumbled loudly as the path ahead continued to be cruel to him.
His frustration only further leading to itself. The simple comforts of last nights accommodation and company now long gone.
His usual upbeat carefree mood was now soured and only worsened further by his absence of any alcohol.

He talked very little during that leg of the journey, only mumbling to himself curses and complaints. At one point as the mud tried to steal one of his shoe’s, he swore loudly and appeared just about ready to punch someone. Outside of that he was mostly complacent. Mostly. Keeping to himself.

“Aye, yer mongrel!” Ezlan suddenly burst out in joyful realisation. With the friendly taunt he went up and slapped the dwarf on the shoulder. “Nearly didn’t recognise ya with those steady legs and an empty hand.” He pushed the near empty wineskin into the confused guild members hand. With a chuckle he carried on.
“T’is been a while, what hole were we at? The broken keel? Colonial Taphouse? The heavy hammer? Or was it The drunken whore? Ahh, anyway I’m sure they’re still light on booze after that night. You sure can drink my friend!”

Ezlan was vague at best of his description of the night, as could be expected of such an evening. Everything would sound plausible and most probably likely if Kolrim had ever been out drinking within the guilds town. Not to mention remembering this event fell in his favour as the large bare chested Caerbean had become overly friendly, with arm around his shoulder he leant down and lead him into the group, still reciting events and tall stories of that night and others, most of which pertained to himself and various women of vulgar descriptions all manner of different races.

Small reply but something ;)

Looking forward to playing the gradual transition and putting in subtle hints as the camaraderie grows and he develops affection for the group/others.

"A'ight, well catch you in the morn at rising light." Ezlan replied instantly without hesitation. Without wasting time he turned his back on the group and began walking back towards the nearest homestead with an eager step. "A safe slumber to you." Was his parting gift. He suddenly slowed his pace noticing the lone traveller in the distance approaching. Ezlans vision was not hindered by the fading light, in fact he probably saw things more clearer now than in the mid of day. Altering his course he moved to intercept or pass by the on-comer. He studied him over with an intent yet welcoming eye, curious too to know his business on the road at this time.
