Yeah that works, given Mirror’s back story of being on the move a lot, it’s possible that she ran into him after he had been ejected from his family business. Perhaps she was someone who took pity on him and offered to help him out as they travelled to the next town or something and the form of payment she wanted was to document him.
It took me a moment to understand what I had read. But yeah, I suppose Mirror would be curious on how your character would be alive, and why they would carry a part of their own brain around. She would be both disturbed and intrigued.
I for one am perfectly down for the first idea, since my character is about protecting those who can’t do so themselves. Though at the same time I must resist my temptation to go for the option of naming the group, my attatchment would be too much.
I have yet to come up with the looks of her, still in the character design process and I’m very picky on how I want my character to look when I draw them.
With her safety secured behind her royal guards, Uxu could focus on getting more food to fill those slowly dwindling stockpiles that would eventually lead to a peasant revolt. Unfortunately, a revolt of the size Uxu predicted would happen if they didn’t get food would be more than her and her merry band of guards. For a few days she went over Joz’s report of how he trained the Kooch Hor by making a bunch of goats blow up, and thinking about that, those goats would probably have made good for a herd of meat. Perhaps there were more.
Uxu summoned a Kooch Hor Mage that was on duty outside her tent, keeping her staff held up as the Mage bowed. Her order was clear and resolute, “Gets me a party of a buncha huntas will ya? I gots me an idea.” Without word the Kooch Hor Mage went to go gather a group of these goblin hunters.
When they arrived once more, a group of fifteen or so of the tribe’s hunters who had caught food for the day bowed to their Mage-Queen, probably not thinking of revolting any time soon as their were fine for the time being. “It seems to mes that we have a bit of a food shortage, it’s time to fix that. This Kooch Hor Mage will escort yous all to where he found the goats that hes blew up, I want yous to bring me back a herd of them goats. That way we cans breed em and eat em.” Uxu looked over the group for a moment, “If one of yas does remarkable I may just share my tent with ya for a night,” wanting to encourage the males to do a good job for their ruler.
Once the group of hunters went off to try and find the goats that the tribe would need, Uxu realized they would need a pin to keep these goats, which would probably very much needed simply for organizational purposes. The Mage-Queen rose from her seat and exited her tent, flanked by four of her mages, she strode to one of her friends, Stieq, who she had happened to appoint as one of the leading constructors.
“Eyy, Stieq, it’s been a while!” Uxu exclaimed with joy as she approached the goblin who stood about a foot lower than her, making him somewhat a dwarf in the goblin society.
“Eyy! It’s Uxu! Forget about it!” Stieq laughed, as he scratched the back side of his head at meeting his good friend. “What brings ya to my neck a da woods?,” he inquired, looking over at the guards who were merely laughing to each other about the shortness of the male in front of them.
“Well, I need ya to make me a pen to hold a bunch a goats. Somewhere on the outside of the camp, we’ll need it to keep em from runnin’ off after we catch him,” Uxu said pointing her staff away from the large goblin camp, a rather large explosion shaking the earth as a mushroom cloud to signify where the pen would be generally located would be. “Make sure they can’t jump out, I’m pretty sure goats like to jump, right?”
“I think so, but I’ll get right on it boss!”
A)Improve Food: Sending a team of hunters to gather a herd of goats so the tribe can breed them and use them as slaughter. D) Improve Infrastructure: Have Stieq and his boys build a pen to hold said goats so the tribe will have somewhere to put them if the hunters are successful.
I am indifferent towards if players want to start with some form of relationship, I guess it would be the choice of us if we wanted to or not, but I do like starting with some form of relationship.
As far as starting area, it’s difficult for me to say as I do like starting at the very beginning to help establish the party and get that dynamic going. Though I do understand the desire to get into the meat of it since the play by post can take so horrendously long. Though, for the party, I think it would be beneficial we start with the prologue as it would give us the chance to further engage with the party and grow attatched before the inevitable TPK at the fiRST ENCOUNTER! I AM LOOKING AT YOU PAST GM OF MY MEMORY!
