Hell's Rebels Adventure Path (Inactive)

Game Master TreasureFox

Background

Etienne was born 16 years ago. His parent's, Francis and Marie, were aloof and distant, more concerned with the running the family’s burgeoning import and export company, House Nevar.

Left to the care of Nana Susan, Etienne’s babysitter and Varisian-blooded, Etienne grew up with tales of heroes.

A long the way Nana Susan introduced Etienne and inculcated in him a fascination with cards and the divination.

Seeing the unnatural attachment the young boy is forming with his nanny, Etienne’s parents, dismissed the Varisian and sent Etienne to boarding school in far off Ustalav, where the boy turned his attention to books and the past.

His facile mind quickly noted the patterns of events, of how one event leads to another, as if free will was nothing more than an illusion, and that Mankind dance to the tune of some unseen conductor.

Etienne’s motto: to be forewarned is to be forearmed.

And he knew that upon turning 16 no more than a few weeks ago, he would be called back to Kintargo.

You see, Etienne Nevar’s family had always sent its firstborns to join the Hellknights.

Now it is Etienne’s turn to uphold family tradition.

Apprenticed to one of the ranking knights of the Order of the Torrent, Kintargo’s own Hellknights, Etienne tags along to what appears to be a cauldron of civilian discontent.

Like great wheels, Etienne imagines fate turning, the Mandate of Heaven in the balance.

I am currently in the process of figuring everything out for my character, but the base concept is that a rope-maker, who hails from a long line of rope-makers, has found recent events to be more than he can bare. With a unique set of skills, he seeks to join with a rebel faction so that he might act upon what he finds to be right.

Mechanically I'm looking at making a Mysterious Avenger (Swashbuckler) who uses his wit and charm to rally support for the rebel cause. In combat, he uses a unique set of skills to use his everyday product to catch his foes off-guard by way of the Equipment Trick (Rope).

Liek was an unusual halfling, not a slave and often aloof from other halflings because of this. He and his family were loyal to the church of Asmodeus church, and had no intention of associating themselves with slaves. Liek became a member of the Order of the Cockatrice in the name of Asmodeus, taking up riding a wolf, named Diable. However his service was cut short when his family aside from him were offered up as sacrifices to Asmodeus,who though nothing of sacrificing halflings.

Liek managed to free his sister, and went into hiding with fellow halflings. He gave up on the Order of the Cockatrice, severing all ties with them. He later was approached by an elderly halfling representative of the Order of the Paw. given the chance to redeem himself, he accepted. His goal at the protest: Figure out the current state of affairs in Kintargo before waging war against the church of Asmodeus and House Thrune.

Sorry Talin, but I will not be accepting the Sable Company Marine archetype.

I forgot to mention that, while I am available to play, I do have a set schedule for my access to the computer-blame the busy life I have. If it is okay with you, should I let you know what times (in central standard time) I will be available on my laptop? I'm just asking in case you would like the heads up

Claudel Jhaltero

Claudel Jhaltero Abilities & Equipment

A lifelong resident of Kintargo, Claudel is the young nephew of Canton Jhaltero, local silver magnate, information broker, and honest-to-goodness Baron of Cheliax. Claudel is uncompromisingly a wide-eyed dreamer, but thankfully his aristocratic upbringing allowed him to pursue the genteel activities for which he was inclined. Even at the tender age of 16, Claudel is an accomplished conversationalist, lute player, and is even a budding man of letters. Though his chance of taking control of the Jhaltero information network is slim (dear uncle Canton has many of his own children), he was still shown the basic ropes of the spying trade.

Claudel has an intense interest in chivalric romance, and he consumes novels in that genre like a mouse consumes cheese. Consequently, he is a casual devotee of Shelyn, eagerly awaiting the day his parents make a match for him and he can live out a romantic tale of his own imagining. He loves reading the grand stories of Chelaxian noblemen of ages past, such as the great Aspex Even-Tongue, Haliad III, and even the tragic King Gospodar. When he compares them to the modern Thrunes, he sees much to be desired in the current Chelaxian monarchs. Though devoid of this kind of ambition for himself, a great dream of his is to see a worthy man, blessed by the heavens, ascend to become the true monarch of Cheliax. Though is idealism is nearly impenetrable, the appointment of Barzillai Thrune to the office of mayor of the city has revealed the inadequacies of the Hell-backed Thrunes even more, as the man makes a mockery of chivalry, the law, and all that is good and beautiful with his petty dictates.

Without permission from his parents, Claudel has begun to step out from the salons and music halls of the nobility in order to affect some kind of change. If not in all of Cheliax, at least in Kintargo. As he sees it, the current crop of rebels are far too much like the rabblerousers and lowborn of Androan and Galt. A young man, such as himself, that shares their taste in the arts and passion for Kintargo as a center for the creation of beauty, might be able to reign in any rebellion and steer it toward selecting a more suitable noble ruler once Barzillai is (inevitabley, as in the romances evil always loses) deposed.

This character is interested in protesting against the government. Claudel's free item from Child of Kintargo is his set of masterwork thieves' tools. My intention for him is Rogue 3/Fighter 2/Noble Scion 10

No worries, as long as you can post roughly 1/day I don't really mind when.

Lirandra remembers little of her early life. Her earliest memories are of struggling to survive in the streets of The devil’s nursery, alone except for the stray dogs that she fought with for scraps. The years of living in the streets blend into each other as little more than an impression of constant hunger. It was on the streets when she was still a young girl, in the shadow of the temple of Asmodeus itself, that she met The Cat. Something, Lirandra still doesn’t know what, drew her to the sleek animal. As soon as they touched the connection was made and Lirandra’s life changed forever. Without knowing how, she found that she was slowly learning new abilities: the knowledge of how to cast spells, how to speak strange languages, how to heal the sick and even to change her appearance. As she grew into adulthood, Lirandra was able to use her abilities to raise herself from the alleyways. Selling healing and other magical services to the other denizens of the devil’s nursery. Since meeting The Cat Lirandra’s life has improved markedly. No longer does she fight the dogs for scraps or sleep in the cold street. Even so, however, her life was not exactly comfortable. It never is for tieflings in Kintargo. It was only a year ago that Lirandra first heard Strea Vestori speak. Words of freedom and liberation, of tieflings helping each other and being accepted into society burnt into her heart with their message of hope,... that Kintargo, that life could be better! Since that day, Lirandra has done her best to help the inhabitants of the devil's nursery as best she can, following the words of her hero. Now, however, Strea has not been seen for a full week and rumours swirl that the new lord mayor has done something to her. Lirandra has heard that Strea might be at the protest if she's still alive, and so she has come to see if her hero still lives.

Lirandra is shy about drawing attention to herself, preferring to keep to the shadows and keep her head down. She doesn’t know the source of her power, and doesn’t know that she is a witch. All she knows is that she shares a connection with The Cat, and that her magic is somehow linked to it. Lirandra has no close ties to anyone other than The Cat, but has begun to feel the need to help her fellow tieflings more than she has in the past, convinced by the words of her hero Strea Vestori that she can not simply watch what is being done to her people without at least trying to help.

Lirandra remembers little of her early life. Her earliest memories consist of blurred impressions of struggling to survive in the streets of The devil’s nursery, alone except for the stray dogs that she fought with for scraps. The years of living in the streets blend into each other as little more than an impression of constant hunger. It was on the streets when she was still a young girl of ten, in the shadow of the temple of Asmodeus itself, that she met Cat. Something, Lirandra still doesn’t know what, drew her to the unusually sleek animal. As soon as they touched the connection was made and Lirandra’s life changed forever.

Since meeting Cat Lirandra’s life has improved markedly. No longer does she fight the dogs for scraps or sleep in the cold street. Even so, however, her life was not exactly comfortable. It never is for tieflings in Kintargo, a fact that Lirandra learnt all too well as she treated sick tiefling children suffering from the ills of poverty: diseases easily caused by nothing more than aching hunger, a lack of shelter or simply the ill-treatment of the guards who are more likely to kick a tiefling child than help him. It was only a year ago that Lirandra first heard Strea Vestori speak. Words of freedom and liberation, of tieflings helping each other and being accepted into society burnt into her heart with their message of hope,... that life, that Kintargo itself could be better! Since that day, Lirandra has done her best to help the inhabitants of the devil's nursery as best she can following the words of her hero. Now, however, Strea has not been seen for a full week and rumours swirl that the new lord mayor has done something to her. Surely Strea would be at the protest if she still lives?

Lirandra harbours a strong dislike of dogs, and Barzillai Thrune's well-known love for the beasts only serves to confirm Lirandra's low opinion of the new Lord-mayor.

Lirandra is 5ft.9 tall and weighs 125 lbs. She wears her pitch-black hair short, rarely bothering to comb it or tie it back and dresses in tightly fitting clothes that do little to hide her devil-like features, which consist of smooth, almost flawless alabaster-white skin, small fangs and a forked tongue, ridged horns projecting from her forehead, blood-red eyes that lack pupils and a long tail which almost always remains sinuously moving without her conscious thought. Cat, her familiar, is small, and shares Lirandra’s pitch-black hair, except the white hair on his paws and chest. Cat is never more than a few paces from his mistress, though he never seems to follow her around, rather he always seems to be there for his own, inscrutable reasons. He rarely allows himself to be handled, except by children, not even by Lirandra herself.
