Upto you if you've heard of me or not. At level 5 I'd likely have some reputation (I travel for work from time to time). Anything you've likely heard has been along the lines of 'Reliable' and 'effective' but nothing more show boatyard than that.
I'll say that I knew of the Professor. Not sure if the Judge has heard I am in town. She may be a good link to anchor me until we've bled together some.

Remind me why we are committing this act of river piracy?
I am helping because a) Half orc are pretty much scum :) and b) Fellow elf is involved and c) Maybe some valuable contacts to be made (and can claim confusion - that the orcs were threatening the group)...
But I've forgotten why we need to capture the boat and its crew - vampire coffins?

"River piracy?? We were happily strolling doing some questioning by the docks when those low-life half-orc scum tried to pick a fight with us. We did respond with propotional force and mopped the floor with them.
Then we got attacked by an evil wizard who threw some magical ice storm our way. We decided to jump onboard to investigate. I believe that it was at that moment when the fire started, Your Honour..."
That´s our story and we are sticking to it...

Have you checked out Heathy's other thread(s)? :)
He's got this one group of murderhobos that make Leik look like,... a very calm person.
(ANY resemblance to THIS player's avatar and the avatar of one of THOSE players is strictly coincidental!) :D
Gratz Heathy! Good luck/Break a leg/etc on the interview!
Fingers crossed, prayers said, happy thoughts headed your way. :)

N´Kai Sureblade |

After some time, I finally got around at getting N´Kai´s background done. Critics are welcomed and if nothing else, I guess it´s a good read: ;D
N´Kai is the sole child of a modest elven family. As a member of the rangers that patrol the borders of Kyonin, his father knew how to use both the scimitar and longbow and was eager to pass on that knowledge to his son. His mother was a low-ranking cleric of Sarenrae and it was her who taught the young elf the essentials of the Dawnflower´s faith.
N´Kai briefly joined the rangers, yet after a particular nasty clash with a Razmiran raiding party, he realized both the power of magic and that things are not always what they seem at first glance. They took a prisoner that day, a half-crazed priest of Razmir that claimed they had crossed the border after one of his men who had stolen some ancient manuscript. During the night and while they were making the way towards the elven capital of Iadara, the stranger managed to get free and summon an strange, flying, transparent being that came visible only after suctioning several of the ranger´s blood. N´Kai barely managed to hold off the alien creature, which succeeded in sucking dry his summoner instead before vanishing, leaving only elven copses and a foetid stench in its wake.
Unable to understand what he had experienced and presumed dead by his family and friends, the elf became obsessed with magic and dabbled in what scarce occult lore he could find in Iadara. After leading a vagabond´s life for months and learning all he could from the texts he managed to get his hands into, he finally discovered he could blend his growing magical abilities to become a more effective fighter. Plus he wanted to be sure never to be caught in a fight with unnatural horrors without an effective weapon against them.
After almost a year, he heard the fugitive, a half-elf, had surfaced in the village of Erages and sold the manuscript to a passing-by professor of the Faculty of Occult Lore of Lepidstadt. N´Kai didn´t get to the town in time to talk to the academic, but decided to follow his steps to the capital of Vieland. After all, he thought he could spend some time in the city and the University library, especially the Occult Sciences section…

You guys better do the searching once this door is open... simply because I have no idea why I am going through the door apart from getting to the mage.

I may want to think about study under N'Kai - though spell combat with a 2 handed sword doesn't work real well... Actually on that note, where does Heathy come down on the Assassin = evil debate?

IRL, it's all the same.
In game, RAW, I guess.
"Neutral characters sometimes become assassins, frequently thinking of themselves as simple professionals performing a job, yet the nature of their duties inevitably pushes them toward an evil alignment."
