Half-Elf Bard who will eventually be taking two levels in Lore Warden. In brief, Eris is a sex slave who is going off on adventure to earn his freedom. Personality wise, Eris is a flirty, playful, pansexual...think like a half-elf version of Jack Harkness from Torchwood, if you like.</p>
<p>Crunch wise: I shall build him to fill in whatever roll we are most lacking. By default, I'm thinking scorpion whip and ranged focused with bardy stuff being a bonus, but not 'the focus', as it were. But, as I said, stats will be tailored moreso to a finalized party. </p>

<p>The stats will have to be tweaked somewhat as I ran another version of this character through a Second Darkness campaign that ended really before it got started. However, I loved the character so I figured I'd submit him here as he seems to fit the setting quite nicely. </p>

<p>Eris enjoyed gambling, but he had never been one for games of chance like Ghoulette — everything about them was so real, so final, so determined. The Tiefling much preferred to play cards or other games of appearances — where the cards boldly declare the player's fate, but often, its the player who makes their fate in games like that. A little lie here, a distracting comment there, and suddenly that crap hand you were dealt is a winner. The reality is irrelevant, what matters is the appearance, the illusion. </p>
<p>Spotting Deneb who seemed to be paying far too much attention to the game for his own good, Eris walked up to him with an amused smirk, pulled out a silver coin, and held it up to the cleric's face. <b>"A kiss for luck?"</b> Eris asked, blinking his eyes in the most effeminate overly flirtatious way he could. It was both painfully adorable, and impossibly ridiculous at the same time.</p>Eris shrugged his shoulders as the Human disappeared into the tavern.

Typo XPEris Kallisti (alias of Majestic8705)2012-06-21T19:21:22ZRe: Forums: Play-by-Post Discussion: GM Nayr's Second Darkness DiscussionEris Kallisti (alias of Majestic8705)https://paizo.com/campaigns/GMNayrsSecondDarkness/discussion&page=3#1052012-06-21T18:37:24Z2012-06-21T18:37:24Z<p>You know, I never really thought about it before. </p>
<p>Consider a typical roulette wheel. There are 38 numbers on a roulette wheel (0, 00, 1-36) meaning the odds are 1 in 37 to win (roughly 2.7%, which means the 'house' has a [roughly]97.3% chance to win). To win 100% of the time, one would have to place a bet on all 38 numbers. This, while possible, would actually mean losing money because roulette pays out at 35:1 if you bet on a single number (if you bet $1 on a winning number, you now have $35). </p>
<p>It similarly makes no sense to bet on 35 numbers because you would still, statistically, end up losing money and only ever 'break even' whenever you win.</p>
<p>So to turn a profit, the most numbers one can bet on would be 34 which is, roughly, 89% percent of the board. What that means is that placing $1 on 34 individual numbers would earn you a whopping $2 (you 'lose' on 33 tiles [$33] but 'win' on 1 number [$35]. 35-33=2). </p>
<p>Now, of course, there is a (roughly) 11% chance that you'll lose all $34. </p>
<p>If you bet $1 on one number for 38 games in a row you would, statistically, win once with a payout of $35. However, you would lose $1 on 37 of those bets at a cost of $37. Meaning overall, you have a net loss of $2 ($37-$35=$2). </p>
<p>Now, if one were to bet $1 each on 34 numbers for 38 games in a row one would, statistically, win 34 of those games at a rate of $2 a win. Meaning overall winnings of $68. When you lose, however, you lose hard and you would lose $34 4 times which amounts to $136 (34•4=136). Subtracting our winnings of $68, we have an overall loss of $68 (136-68=68).</p>
<p>It seems like its actually 'safer' to bet on just one number consistently. At least, you'll bleed your monies out a lot slower.</p>
<p>The odds of winning in Ghoulette are 1:11 (or, roughly, 9%). The payout is 10:1 thus to actually win something, one can only place stuff on 9 numbers (75% of available numbers). Let us assume the bet is 1gp on each individual number with a payout of 10gp (1pp) on a winning number.</p>
<p>So, if one plays for 12 rounds, and one bets 1gp on one individual number, one is expected to win once for 10gp total. However, one would lose 11 other times at a rate of 1gp a round meaning a net loss of 1gp. </p>
<p>Now, if one plays for 12 rounds and bets 1gp on 9 individual numbers, one is expected to win nine times for 9gp in profit. However, one would lose 9gp 3 times for total loses of 27gp. Subtracting from our winnings, that's a net loss of 18gp. </p>
<p>So in either case, its smarter to just bet on one number.</p>
<p>See kids, math isn't useless XP</p>You know, I never really thought about it before.

Not so much because he enjoyed torturing the poor man, but because there was something so adorably helpless about him. However, the Tiefling had learned something from this initial exchange: he had caught the human's eye. That is to say the Human had taken an interest in Eris' falling out of a window, and his arrival in this fine establishment. <i>Either he genuinely hadn't seen a Tiefling before; or he is following me,</i> Eris reasoned. </p>
<p><b>"You flatter a sideshow like me with your interest, Sir,</b>" Eris said with a toothy grin as he went into an over-the-top bow before the Human. The gesture, of course, was clearly more so for dramatic effect than an actual proper ceremonial bow. He used the opportunity to take in the Human's equipment in somewhat greater detail, noting the various blades and what have you the character was carrying. Eris did this not because he considered the man a threat (indeed, his nervous twitching and shifting suggested the Human was anything but a threat), but because it never hurts to take note of these kinds of things. <b>"I am, indeed, the one who fell from the window earlier today, and Miss Blossom and I are...acquaintances, for lack of a better term,</b>" Eris continued after he came up from his exaggerated bow. His hand went to rest on his rapier but, before it got there, he thought better of it and extended it out to shake the Human's hand. <b>"Name's Eris,"</b> he said with that same stupid smile.</p>Eris took in the Human's rather obvious nervousness and it made him smile.

<p>Eris begins singing quietly to himself as he pays his fee, and signs the document:</p>
<p><b>"Well you made a deal with the devil
<br />
And now your soul is mine
<br />
You sold it for eternity
<br />
When you signed that dotted line..."</b></p>
<p>He looks up at the stunning woman with a grin on that last line as he dots the last 'i' in his name and then he paid the woman the necessary entrance fee. He made deliberate eye contact with her, smiling sweetly for a moment as he looked into her eyes. And then, he sang quietly to her, <b>"so long, farewell; I'll see you in Hell my friend,</b>" With that, he winked smugly, and walked inside, grinning all the while. </p>
<p>On passing her, he took a moment to take in the whole scene before him and the illusion of this whole thing was...delightful. They even managed to grab themselves a real devil to display in a cage which made the Tiefling shake his head somewhat. Given his history being a sexual slave, it should be hardly surprising that Eris has somewhat of a negative view of slavery. Having said that, the Devil seemed to be something more of a stage prop than an actual slave being tortured and tormented in any meaningful way. </p>
<p>But Eris did notice that Deneb seemed to have taken an interest in the caged beast and that it seemed like he'd made a new friend as well. It was about this time that Eris realized just advantageous it might be to have a cleric of the lady of luck on his side during a gambling tournament...though, most gamblers will tell you its more skill than luck. It can never hurt to have both skill, and luck on your side. So, with that, Eris resigned himself to walk over and make nice. </p>
<p><b>"... even the lovely ladies can be yours for the taking, if ya got enough. That's the way Riddleport works best,"</b> said the Human standing beside Deneb, which made Eris grin somewhat. </p>
<p><b>"Actually the best part about Riddleport is that you never have to <i>settle</i> for <i>these</i> ladies because you can always find something more...exotic...If you know where to look,"</b> Eris interjected with a smirk, as he approached the duo with an obvious cocky swagger to his step. His right hand resting on the hilt of his rapier in a relaxed fashion. Not so much because he was threatened, indeed, the Tiefling felt right at home in this Hellish illusion. His left hand was resting on his hip. <b>"And you have the coin for it, of course,"</b> he added, once he was sure he'd grabbed the attention of the Human. He still had his token grin on his face suggesting that at least some of what he said was a joke.</p>
<p><span class=messageboard-ooc>As an incidental, the song Eris is singing is "Sell Your Soul" by The Creepshow, if anyone is interested.</span></p>Apologies for my delayed posting...exam and no sleep made me crash hard.

Of course, exactly which part was supposed to be a joke was another matter entirely. Eris, of course, only smiles playfully. </p>
<p><i>A whore, a Calistrian, and a priest of the lady of luck walk into a bar</i>, Eris mused, and almost burst out laughing as he realized his life was little more then a punchline to a cliche joke. Speaking of a bar and the Calistrian...</p>
<p><b>"Are you here for the tournament? To try your luck as I try my luck?"</b> Eris asked, obviously playing off the Calistrian's bizarre speech patterns. <b>"Or are you just here to pit your luck against mine?"</b> Eris added, smiling coyly. He wasn't mocking the girl. Indeed, he rather enjoyed her punning. It always made for interesting, if utterly incoherent, conversations.</p>"Please, he doesn't pay me enough to take advantage of me," Eris said with a grin as he gave Deneb a rather obvious ogling look.

<p>Eris smiled coyly, <b>"then maybe there's hope for you yet, priest."</b> He looked Deneb over, really for the first time as earlier, he'd been more concerned with not being where he was and not getting stabbed by the Elf woman he'd collided with. All in all, he didn't seem anything too extraordinarily special. In addition to checking out the cleric, Eris used the momentary pause to take another opportunity to make sure he wasn't being followed by any of 'father's' men.</p>
<p><i>If you're living in Riddleport and you're not paranoid, you must be crazy</i> Eris mused to himself, the smile on his lips growing slightly as he bastardized another witticism he'd heard about somewhere else from some obscure writer a long time ago. </p>

A terrible thought then crossed Eris' mind as he turned back to face the cleric. <b>"Please tell me you're not going to make us chase after them in the name of justice or something silly like that,"</b> Eris said, a genuinely distraught look on his face. It wasn't so much he thought what the kids did was excusable so much as...it just was something so utterly petty and insignificant that he had no reason to make it his concern. </p>

<p>That, and it never hurts to have a God on your side.</p>Eris chuckled quietly to himself. "Told ya not to trust 'em," he said with a grin as he watched the group of them run off into the crowds. A terrible thought then crossed Eris' mind as he turned back to face the cleric. "Please tell me you're not going to make us chase after them in the name of justice or something silly like that," Eris said, a genuinely distraught look on his face.

<p>Eris cocked his eye at the cleric as well, once again, clearly off put by people in Riddleport being <i>kind</i>. The sentiment was...unnerving. If Riddleport is suddenly becoming a haven for do gooders and 'stoic heroic' types...well, maybe there's something to that whole sun being blotted out as a sign of the apocalypse line of reasoning. </p>
<p><i>Also, I'd have to think of a new profession. Heroes generally don't have use of us working lads. End up having to get a job as a tailor or some such...I'd last maybe a day before I killed myself.

<p>To the cleric's question, Eris checked back down the street he'd burst out onto to see if he was being pursued by anyone who looked like "father", or possibly "father's" associates. Because everybody in Riddleport seemed to have associates.</p>
<p><b>"Oh, the crashing out the window? That was me. Definitely not something I'm looking forward to doing again, but otherwise...</b>" Eris trailed off as he spoke, turning back from the alley to face the Elf he'd slammed into, <b>"What do you say I buy you and your chatty friend here a meal? We can swing by the tavern I'm staying at so I can change into something more...fitting...for life in Riddleport?"</b> Eris said.

And if you do it enough times, as he had, you learn to get over those questions like 'where am I?' and 'how did I get here?' and 'whose this lying next to me?' become so second nature after a while that you just sorta stop asking them. The tiefling shifted forward to move and get out of bed, but he found that at some point in the night, his partner had wrapped their arm around his waist making it...more difficult for Eris to sneak out completely undetected as was customary in his line of work. </p>
<p>Despite his best efforts to get out of the bed without disturbing his partner of the night before, Eris could feel the mass moving behind him. <b>"Mmmm...that was wonderful,</b>" said a male voice that almost purred each syllable. The man reached out and tried to pull Eris closer, but the tiefling used the man's grogginess to his advantage and managed to wiggle free of the Human and get to his feet and began the arduous process of getting dressed. He grabbed the money from the night stand as he rose, though.</p>
<p><b>"Well, its easy when the client is as cute as you are, hon,"</b> the Rakshasa spawn said, half-heartedly as he started walking about the room looking for his clothes. </p>
<p>The Human, who was also as naked as Eris, leaned forward ontop of the pillows and rest his head upon his hands in an almost girlish way so he could watch the lithe almost pantherlike Tiefling go about the room collecting his things. <b>"Oh, I bet you say that to all your clients,"</b> the human retorted, pouting as he did so. </p>
<p>Eris hid a sigh, and put on a giant smile and turned to face the Human...what was his name? John something? Vorna? Vorish...Tobin? <b>"Well of course I do, but you're the first one I've ever said that to and meant what I said,"</b> Eris replied, smiling just the appropriate length of time before he went back to his task of finding...ah! Pants! And the Tiefling bent down low to pick them up and put them on.</p>
<p><b>"Mmmm. Well, you're certainly the cutest easy lad in this town. There's just something so exotic about you...its a shame you have to go and hide all your best assets with those clothes,"</b> said "John" with a sigh as he watched Eris put on the pants, his interest in the whore waning significantly now. </p>
<p>Eris continued dressing, not quickly, but he didn't exactly linger either. The morning after was always the most awkward part of this job, especially if you're really good at it. The clients are always on some euphoric high and think two things: first, that they — the clients — are the best at what they do and their magnificent prowess in the bed will make their whores fall madly in love with them; and second, if the prostitute is skilled enough at what they do, they always try and coax one more go out of them. Easy lads had to learn how to humour them, without giving in. Play up everything so that their client would be a repeat client. Its always better to have repeat clients, safer too. Because you know what to expect.</p>
<p><b>"Thanks hon. But I don't think —"</b> there door to the bed chamber suddenly flung open and a gruff looking older man clad in scale mail armor walked burst into the room and stopping in the door as he found a half naked Rakshasa Tiefling standing there, holding his clothes, and the naked male lying on the bed.</p>
<p>It was a tense moment. Eris looked at the new man, then back to the Human in the bed. Then back to the man in the armor. The man in armor looked from Eris to the bed and back to Eris. And the Human in the bed simply looked Eris right in the eye and with a smile said, <b>"Hello, father."</b></p>
<p>Eris raised a finger as if he were going to say something, but then he saw father reaching for his sword and Eris elected for the alternate plan: he took a deep breath, and then he ran. Specifically, he ran towards the window at the far end of the room, opposite where "father" was. He raised the cloak of his entertainer's garb before him just before he dove at the window.</p>
<p>The glass exploded into the street outside and with it came the half-dressed Tiefling who rolled with the momentum so he came out of the crash landing on his knee. He could hear the old man yelling curses and threats from within the...higher end slum shack? Eris cursed. Anyone whose father can afford armor like that can afford to pay me more money. Next time, I'll make sure to squeeze more outta him. He snickered at his unintentional double entendre, as he grabbed his cloak from off the street and continued at a brisk jog into the city, just in case "father" decided to give chase. </p>
<p>As Eris jogged he started brushing the class off of his cloak, noticing several new tears in the fabric which he cursed about in infernal. He held the cloak up into the light to see the damage but he decided to keep walking at a brisk pace with his vision utterly obscured. It should, therefore, come as no surprise that he soon found himself careening into an someone with enough force to knock him back onto his ass, leaving him staring up at whatever had obstructed his path.</p>
<p>It was an Elf, a female Elf to be more precise. A female elf clad in studded leather armor and armed to the teeth with wickedly sharp blades. So Eris did the only thing he could do at a time like that, he furrowed his brow, cursed in Infernal, and reconsidered his position on worshiping the Gods.</p>

I'm hoping to drop my STR from 14 to 13 (maybe even 12), and drop my INT from 13 to 12 (I'll get Combat Expertise even if I don't qualify for it at Lore Warden so there's no reason for me to keep my INT at such a useless number).

<p>Assuming Nayr agrees, do you guys have any particular 'use' in mind for me (giggity, btw)? By that I mean...do you want me as a more combat focused bard (in which case I'll use those freed up points to boost my CON up a bit)? Or do you want me focusing on spells/CHA stuff? In which case I'll use those points to boost my CHA up to 18 at the expense of some survival stuff?</p>Well, since we haven't started yet...Nayr, do you mind if I tweak my character a bit?

Perform (oratory) covers both Diplomacy and Sense Motive and I was planning on taking that as my versatile performance next level anyways...so while my Diplomacy and Sense Motive are crap for this level, they'll be upped to rank 8 when I ding 2. If you're hurting for skill points, I'm happy enough to do that...
<p>On the flip side, if you wanna handle the diplomacy side of things, I'm also cool switching out that perform to (dance) so I can get Acrobatics and Fly working for me...</p>
<p>Or we can both do it...I'm easy like that.</p>

<p>Basically, I'm planning on maximizing the utility of the bard class to be whatever you guys need me to be. I've taken as my skills: </p>
<p>Knowledge (arcana), perception, perform (comedy [bluff and intimidate]), perform (oratory [diplomacy and sense motive]), profession (prostitute [which is purely only for RP purposes]), spellcraft, stealth, and UMD. </p>
<p>Anyone want me to take any particular spells, or knowledges? I only picked arcana because it was first on the list XP. </p>
<p>Anyways, for spells, so far, I'm thinking Dancing Lights, Mage Hand, Message, and Prestidigitation for cantrips...CLW and Grease for the 1st level spells.</p>
<p>At level the third, just as an FYI, I plan on grabbing a level of Fighter Archer or Lore Warden depending on how my role in combat evolves (i.e. if I spend more time pewing, I'm grabbing Archer but if I spend more time tripping with whips [scorpion] I'll grab Lore Warden). </p>
<p>Actually, on that note...do you 'reimberse' feats, GM Nayr? What I mean is...say at level 3 (Bard 2/Lore Warden 1) I take as either a feat or the fighter feat Combat Expertise. At level 4, let's say I take another level of Lore Warden, which gives me Combat Expertise for free. Could I just pick another feat instead (probably the improved trip feat)? Or is that a no-no for you?</p>Alright...well, I'm your token slut bard textbook XP
