The Mystery of Castle Larendale

Alright, awesome. Will start working on the CS tomorrow, hopefully I'll get it done then as I'm going to be out of town most of the weekend.

The Mystery of Castle Larendale

@Sanguine Rose Right, I dig. Just let me know, either way.

The Mystery of Castle Larendale

It's actually the backstory and the flavor potential of the class that drew me to it - I don't really have any strong opinions about the mechanics of the class, positive or negative, I just had an idea for a backstory using the class that I thought would be pretty cool. That's why I thought it might be worth asking, really, because it seemed like this was an RP that was going lighter-ish on the mechanics.

Essentially, the bloodrager is a character that has magic powers because they are descended from magic beings, and taps into those powers by raging like a barbarian. The concept I had was for a half-orc descended from a demon, who tapped into a certain demonic strength when berserking (flaming aura, claws, increased size, stuff like that). Again, if that wouldn't work it's no trouble at all, just thought I'd ask because the backstory came to me in the shower and I thought it was pretty cool.

Idle question: Would you consider a character from one of the Pathfinder classes, if it functioned as basically a multiclass of two 3.5 classes? Because I just had a killer idea for a bloodrager character, which is basically a barbarian/sorceror.

I'm not expecting you to say yes, of course, and I can absolutely just make a character from one of the classes you listed if you prefer, and that wouldn't be a problem at all. Just thought it was worth asking.

D&D (but no dice roll) small group campaign: The Mystery of Castle Larendale

Interested.

The Gladiators of Arlen

No problem - the only other trip will be this weekend, but I should be back by Sunday for that one.

The Gladiators of Arlen

Aleksander, the Bear of the North

Asking for Aleksander's attention, at least, was unnecessary - the young nobleman had had it long before he had called out to his gladiators. Try as he might, Aleksander couldn't get a feel for the young man: he had stood his ground during that 'interview' remarkably well, like an old soldier; but he was not an old soldier, and far too green around the eyes. A mystery.

A far more interesting mystery than any of the 'companions' that were gathered around him, at least. The brash woman was simple enough - Aleksander had overheard far more of the conversation between her and the red knife than he had hopefully let on. A wise warrior learned, after all, to listen twice as much as she spoke. Excited. Confident. She will be quieter, in the end.

The red knife, for her part, was well-spoken. Her armor was clearly new - she wore it stiff, and it barely fit. This was a person who knew her way around a certain world, but not this one.

Aleksander somehow had no opinion of the man with the crossbow, who even now was loudly kissing their lord's perfumed hindquarters; normally that was the sort of thing that would irritate the bear, but somehow with this one he hardly cared. That just left his countrymen, the Tyreni. Aleksander had curled up his nose as he'd watched the man savage that training dummy; he could always smell a problem.

He brought a haunch of meat up to his mouth and took a loud bite of it as Ignis spoke, rolling his eyes slightly at the speech. When the noble was finished, he swallowed and called out in a flat voice, "There is nothing for which to worry, sir. I am certain we will all be dead before any interpersonal problems develop." His voice quieted and he reached for his wine cup. "...But I will protect us, all the same."

I'm here! I'm here! Sorry I disappeared!

My study group was on a mandatory death march trip, over the weekend - I meant to post on Monday, but I wasn't expecting the deep swell of, well, indolence and depression. Terribly sorry, won't happen again.

In truth, though, my post probably would have been an OOC notice that I didn't need to post IC, as all Aleksander's post would have been anyway would be, like, sitting and watching the others and mumbling to himself while he waited for his employer to start talking. So, not a disaster. I'll start drumming up an IC post now.

My Heart is on the Throne

@Sisyphus I'm up to do a collab post if you are? I usually do them through Google docs, I think it's easiest. If not that's cool too, let me know what you think :]

@The Muse

I'm afraid I only have a few scattered hours a day to write posts, so you're probably better off forging ahead on your own.

My Heart is on the Throne

Posted - @The Muse can feel free to move things along and build the palace a bit in the next post, as well as taking over Arya for a little; I really don't mind, as long as you don't do anything too crazy with my stuff. :P
