D&D 5e - Hoard of the Dragon Queen

*Bop's @Ryonara on the head with a squeaky hammer*

No metagaming! This isn't a fourth-wall adventure! Though those can be fun too as long as the GM likes those kinds of shenanigans. I'll work on a post ASAP!

Rochelle's only strategy is to utilize everyone's greatest weakness:

Bullets. From a gun.

Brave Frontier: A New Legacy [Started/Always Accepting]

Rochelle had been busy scoping out the village. It was some sleepy little town, and aside from a few trouble makers, she wasn't sure why she came. She thinks she might have had a dream or something, but she never remembers her dreams once she wakes up. Whatever the case she was already here so Rochelle figured she could look around. As she did so she heard and explosion in the distance and went to investigate. There she saw a gathering of people, likely adventurers. A bunch of strange folk who end up getting into a fight with some more rough-types, and proceed to beat them down without missing a beat. Seemed like a tough crew, but Rochelle wasn't sure if they were even a crew or just a bunch of belligerent adventurers having an odd gathering. Rochelle was honestly not sure what to make of it.

Instead of getting involved she just stood a little bit away and listened. Chances are all these people are here for some job or there's trouble brewing soon, and Rochelle may as well listen in. If it's pointless then at worse she wasted some time and she can go into the tavern for a drink. But if it's interesting then maybe she'll get involved. She honestly didn't like the looks of anyone here; they all looked like a bunch of posers who think they're tough stuff just because they can beat down some low lives. Not that Rochelle was any better, but at least she doesn't make a big deal out of it.

Kyra's Initiative is 12 and her willsave hit 17 exactly. Do we have a free round to react or should we wait in initiative order for now?

I actually have thought of the Goodberry idea @Gordian Nought in another campaign I played! My GM at the time wasn't sure if the Life Domain applied to healing spells that weren't in the Cleric spell list, so I'm glad to see that there is some official sources that says it's possible. I was using a variant human cleric and chose Magic Initiate to use it, though back then our group was pretty good at defeating the enemy before sustaining much damage. Back then my cleric was much more melee oriented and I only took the life domain to gain easy access to heavy armor. She acted more like a paladin then a cleric now that I think of it.

And depending on how things go I might do it if we reach level 4. Personally I like to improve my character based off how things go in the campaign, like how I made my human cleric into a more paladin type of person since she tends to be in melee and was very aggressive. She started off more innocent and wanted to help the people in her kingdom, but the party was close to the neutral-evil side of things, so she had to keep them in check since we were suppose to be honorable knights.

Thank you for having me! I hope we have a lot of fun together.

The sounds of soldiers shouting caught Kyra's attention. She had been working in the clinic trying her best to help the wounded and injured she had no time to fight. It wasn't an easy choice for her to make: on one hand she wanted to defend her village from these evil creatures. On the other hand, her skills were needed for treating the wounded. But once she heard that the dragon itself was making an attempt to attack the castle, Kyra knew she couldn't just stay here. If that dragon manages to break through the gates, it's all over for everyone. She needed to stop that dragon before everyone could get a chance to recover. So Kyra went and grabbed her weapons and armor. She donned her simple leather armor, better to block against briers and thorns than blades or arrows. But it was all she had. Fortunately her weapons were a better quality: her father's hunting bow and his shortsword. They may seem simple, but they could kill a deer or a soldier equally well. And today they may even slay a dragon.

Kyra ran straight towards the battlement and along the way she ran into the group of strangers who had arrived to the castle fortress earlier. Kyra saw them speaking to the mayor when she brought water to the guards on duty, but had no time to speak to them. It looked like they were ready to fight as well. Kyra was a bit nervous approaching them; they didn't look anything like the other townsfolk. For starters one was an orc, or maybe a half-orc, which Kyra has never seen before. The halfling had bright blue hair, which was very odd to Kyra. There was another warrior and something seemed... Odd about him. Almost fey like. And then there was the old man, who simply had the air of an aged wizard. Kyra didn't remember if he was part of the group or not, but she did know he was an outsider as well. Certainly a motley crew.

She heard the halfling ask what the plan was and Kyra had one in mind. "This fortress has withstood against the dragon's breath already. If we simply take cover it'll have to try to break through with it's claws and fangs. It's dangerous, but that would be our best time to strike, I think." Kyra spoke up as she approached the group. She felt like that unlike the rest of the guards here, these people were more willing to go out of their way and face this threat head on, instead of hiding inside these walls for their doom. "My name is Kyra Shepard, a humble priestess of Chauntea. I can't say I know how we can slay this dragon, but if we work together I know we can defeat it." Kyra gripped her bow tightly to reassure herself.

Ricochet Rochelle

Name: Ricochet Rochelle
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Element: Fire
Appearance:


Personality: Rochelle is hotheaded and quick to anger. She prefers to shoot first and ask questions later. Some would call her chaotic evil since she has no issues killing people for their stuff, but she can be protective of her friends and family too. While she can be selfish, she will stop at nothing to make sure her loved ones are happy, no matter who has to pay for it.

Biography: Rochelle lived in a small unnamed village in Agni. Her mother died in childbirth and her father was a poor miner. Soon he ended up becoming an outlaw and robbed people in the road just to make due. He taught Rochelle when she was young how to handle a gun and when she was only 13 she joined her father in robbing people too. One day he got killed in a robbery gone wrong, and since then Rochelle has been living on her own. Unlike her father she's a much better shot and quicker on a draw. But she misses having a family and while she still steals from others for a living, she wants to make friends too.

Evolution:
Gunslinger (Accurate, faster draw, more trick shots)
Rogue Charm (Debilitate foes, Encourage allies,)
Death Gun (Uses ghosts and spirits for protection, Gets stronger the more enemies defeated)

Misc:
Her signature move is the Ricochet Shot, where she bounces her bullets in improvable angles to hit targets she can't even see, or hit the same target multiple times with the same bullet.

Is my CS good now?

@Hekazu

Oh! That's good to hear. If you don't mind could I go ahead and add my character to your campaign? Just so you can see it? I also had some questions about her backstory and I was wondering if I could make her a member of the village being attacked. I don't know the details of Greenest, so if it's possible I'd like to talk to you more about it.
