DM Brainiac's Ruins of Azlant: Ladies of Adventure! (Inactive)

Game Master Brainiac

Nininox is a typical talky fun gnome. I think it might add depth to the game as Nox eventually reveals the fate/status of the other fifteen Nininox's in the family! Thanks for the consideration. I took average gold. I'd be happy to change or supplement or answer any questions right concerns you may have. As for me, I'm very active here on the boards (I think I've got roughly 33k posts here now, lol) so I would be a very regular poster in your game. Please let me know if there are questions.

Vors is the son of human (Tian) former slaves in Isger who escaped to Augustana in Andoran. His father is a skilled sorcerer who was raised from birth as a slave and treated less badly than many of his peers. He was given large amounts of responsibility and ran much of the estate for his owner. However when he met Vors’ mother who was not born a slave and fell in love he began to see things differently. Ultimately when they knew she was pregnant with Vors they led a group of slaves to safety in Andoran.

Vors’ parents worked for others and later themselves as tailors and a few low end magical items. Vors’ grew up around the tools of the trade and learned to be efficient and precise. When his arcane potential inherited from his father began to manifest his father enrolled him in Arch Magister Dresden’s Arcane University (which is a bit small to be a university by anyone’s stretch) which provided him with a good grounding in arcane knowledge.

Under Arch Magister Dresden’s guidance he fell in love with researching ancient lands from Azlant to the ancient Osiriani Empire. Azlant and Thassilon had such an air of mystery of mystery about them that held his interest more than the others. Battles with serpent folk, magics undreamed of only for Starfall and time to obfuscate matters further, how could a young eager mind resist? As much as they excite him he knows the Azlanti and Thassilon had their darker sides, with even the nicer of the two employing slavery which he abhors. Still what wonders wait to be uncovered.

When he heard from one of his peers about the expedition he began preparing an application. After falling asleep halfway through the twelfth draft Vor’s father looked at the eleventh and sent it on it’s way leaving a note for Vors… who was so excited he probably would have spent far too much time on crafting it perfectly and missed the deadline.

Vors would very much like make a name for himself and discover lost magical or historical items. Though he wouldn’t mind being a famous adventurer he’s not got much experience at it exactly but whether he likes it or not things wont be staying that way. He might be in danger over analysing things initially but if he respects the skill of those around him will take direction. I see him quickly growing in confidence combat wise and trying to support his new comrades.

Dear Sir or Madame,

My name is Vors Zaitu, I am a proud Andoran citizen and have studied the Arcane Arts at Arch Magister Dresden’s Arcane University in Augustana and Arch Magister Dresden has certified me as a Magister Errant. I am very enthusiastic about applying to join your expedition to Azlant, history and in particular ancient cultures are a keen interest of mine. I am sure that some will highlight having studied Azlanti and indeed this is a useful skill, which is why I have acquired it, but I have also become versed in Thassilon, though the two languages share many words you never know what will come up! I am also versed in Tien and the planar languages of Aquan and Celestial.

Although my academic abilities will find use I have not neglected the harsh realities of the world and am skilled at identifying various forms of danger as well as ensuring my spellbook contains combat ready spells. Rest assured if the need arises I am ready to aid the other daring souls who will embark on this expedition! I am also a skilled tailor and when discoveries are hiding and danger is at bay in an isolated settlement such a skill is not to be underestimated.

But I have no doubt that you are inundated with but the skilled and the knowledgeable so perhaps you would like to know a bit about me. As you may have guessed from my surname my ancestry stretches back to Tian-Xi. I am sorry to say that my father was raised as a slave in Isger under Baron Lucius Margo and my mother was sold as a slave alongside members of the caravan she was with to pay off tariff’s their employer was unfamiliar with in Chelliax. Baron Margo is a bit of Tianophile and over half his slaves are people descended from Tian-Xi. In some ways my father was like a brother to him and administrated the running of the Baron’s estate. However when my mother was dismayed I would be born into slavery upon realising she was pregnant he hatched a scheme and led a group of a dozen freed slaves to Andoran.

Baron Margo does not seem to be the businessman my father was and his estate has fallen in productivity since, two years passed my father received a curious letter from the Baron inviting him to return to work for him and offering to pay him wages and even recognise his freedom. Now let me tell you I have never seen my father so angry, he fumed for days. Still together my parents and I penned a response and requested as a show of good faith back pay for both my parents for their time in his service. We are still waiting on a response!

In all earnestness I would be a fool not to jump at this opportunity and I really do know I have a lot to offer your expedition both in attributes, ability and drive. I relish the challenges to be overcome and the mysteries to be solved. I look forward to joining you on this journey.

Sincerely,
Magister Errant Vors Zaitu

Relia Pavel is a woman of Varisian decent woman who grew up in the River Kingdoms and Varisia. The fourth of six children. There were four boys and two girls in the Pavel family. The family had a long history of being traveling midwives in their local communities. The men made their living doing handyman work and entertaining. As with all traveling Varisian’s there were rumors that they were Szarni. The Pavel’s were not. If you wanted the midwife to come back you didn’t say a bad thing about the family.

Historically there is just one girl born in each generation, but not in Relia’s. Two girls were born to Era Pavel, Radlina and Relia. Realia is the youngest of the two by eighteen months. Her birth caused a stir in the family, and for several years they dressed her like a boy and told everyone they had five boys and one girl. Of course those in the family knew the truth.

She studied with their her sister in secret and learned how to be a midwife. She and Radlina looked enough alike during their teenaged years that none of their patients noticed the apprentices were two different people.

Having two girls in a generation took the pressure off to Relia to stay with her family and continue the tradition. [spoiler=Background]Instead she took her midwife training, and went out on her own with a couple of brothers who were looking for wives in other communities. Relia enjoyed finally being able to dress and act like a woman. Their travel brought them all the way to the shore of the Varisian Gulf, and there she found her calling as a cleric of Gozreh. She stayed when her brother’s moved on, and spent a couple of years what she needed to know from the local priest of Gozreh in Roderic’s Cove.

She’s a beautiful woman with long dark hair and dark eyes. This caught the attention of a rich man from Riddleport. He decided to take what he wanted, and not bother to ask. Relia objected strenuously, and so did Gozreh. Her attacker lay bleeding on the ground outside the temple, and at Gozreh’s guidance Relia ran.

Her attacker has had men hunting for her for the last two years. Her run has taken her far and wide. She goes where Gozreh leads. Usually along the coasts, but sometimes to along the rivers and lakes. She’s always in the place she needs to be to do what Gozreh needs her to do.

On a recent trip through Andoran she heard about the colonization project. Once again Gozreh lead her way, and she applied. Relia was chosen for the second wave. Mainly because of her training, and also her calm disposition. Her midwifery skills are needed in a growing colony. There are others on the trip to tend to the spirits of the people, but a woman about to give birth wants someone trained to help her. Relia hopes that the colony will be far enough that Astvan Dumias’ men will finally lose her trail for good.

Appearance
----------------
Aboard the Peregrine stands a young woman with a longbow fastened across her back. A dagger gleams in the sunlight on each of her thighs, set in a leather holster that matches her leather armor. The salty wind whips her long brown ponytail across her face but she doesn’t seem to notice. Unfazed by the elements, her dark brown eyes scan the horizon of the Arcadian Ocean for land. She perches a boot heel on the ship’s horn cleat as she grasps the railing with both hands. Her posture looks at ease, but excitement of exploring the lost continent of Azlant is clear in her facial expression. If asked, Momo will tell you she's here to explore the uncharted islands and navigate around the mysterious wildlife.

----------------
Additional Information
----------------
The uninhabited wilderness is Momo’s element. What Momo lacks in verbal eloquence and Ancient Azland knowledge, she makes up for in her knowledge and abilities as a skilled hunter. Raised in a cottage on the edge of a forest, Momo has grown up learning the profession of a Trapper. As a trapper, she can recognize and disable traps. Momo has grown up learning about nature and the geography of the land. She can track down creatures with her survival skills by following tracks and putting an ear to the ground. On occasion, Momo assists the Pathfinder Society with her archery and familiarity with the wilderness.
