Inquisitor Thomas ready to stand against the darkness!


Forgeborn map Armorist(Symbiotic Knight) / Incanter 6 || HP 53/60; g

Just realized i have a silver greatsword and we have a gith in the party, hah.

He has been in Sigil awhile as a mercenary, so anyone who has been a mercenary recently potentially worked with him.

As to who Thomas might be associated with, Thomas has taken to be a vigilante of sorts over the past couple of weeks. Maybe he's been aided freeing the victims of interplanar slavers by Midioto. Maybe he's become passing acquaintances with a certain Gith that finds his complete and utter faith infringing? Any ideas?

Yessai is likely to share Thomas functional interests, and will be very interested in Gemheart's physicality (and yes, silver sword) and Midio, Thomas and Gemheart generally as psionicists, though this interest is likely to be tempered by darker notes of fear and rejection as a non-psionic gith.

Yes, Thomas, I can see Yessai liking Thomas' personality and dedication and seeing echoes of that in her dedication to her sect, however derelict that may currently be. His oppressive self-pressuring will be well understood by her - she has experience with heavy expectations among the adherents of the Spiral Radiant, the gith who trained and inculcated her as a Fear-Eater.

Yeesai glowers a mean intimidate, but she is more an avid investigator in heart and spirit.


Forgeborn map Armorist(Symbiotic Knight) / Incanter 6 || HP 53/60; g

Yes, i would say that Gemheart's sword wasnt made in the style of an astral blade, but he would most feasibly have picked it up while in Sigil. that would make it likely to be an imitation Astral Blade (not the real deal, though.)

Thomas doesn't see his mindblade as a psionic power but more of a physical extension of his faith. In fact, he fails to see how psionics is any different then his own magic, they just have different sources.

Speaking of my mindblade, does it give off light? If so how much. I was thinking a dull glow, similar to a candle to be appropriate.

I'm on board with psionics as expression of faith, at least from Thomas personal perspective.

Depending on the GM, I guess there could be detect psionics as distinct from detect magic, or just a blanket detect magic/power that doesn't distinguish. Having said that, Yessai will be familiar with soulblades as a psionic discipline, and Thomas will be reminiscent of that to her.

Mundarion would only have been in Sigil for about three weeks. Unlike some of the other characters he's not interested in trying to clean up the city. He can be very mission oriented and right now that mission is Karavakos.

However, if Mundarion saw Gem heart he would assume that Gem heart was a war forged and want to talk to him. Other characters may also have seen Mundarion staging impromptu Sleight of hand/juggling performances to make a little money on the side and meet people. He would also be making the rounds of various taverns and other suitable locations to gather information on Karavakos using diplomacy.

On the other hand, while Mundarion wouldn't be interested in turning vigilante in general, if something affected him personally he would deal with it, or if it was so blatant and close to where he was he almost couldn't avoid it he would step in. Thus it is possible that Mundarion could meet the other characters by getting sucked in to something specific that they were dealing with.

Further note, I should hopefully have the profile properly completed some time tomorrow afternoon.

Midiotoziggeroto was drawn to the temple because it looks like it could be a fun adventure and he strongly desires to explore and experience life. Him having met up with and joining Thomas on his vendetta makes good sense and he would do it just because it seems fun to do.
Midiotoziggeroto is quite easygoing and very exitable and prone to talking fast and wordy. He could quite easilly join up with anyone as he is very young and has very little predijuce. Joining up with the antipaladin is just as fine with traveling witb tbe devout Tbomas for instance.

A note on items. The limit for any item is 1500 but i was wondering if i could have an exception for the Gloves of Reconnaissance at 2000gp. If not, they are at the TOP of my wishlist. Basically i can teleport to anywhere i can see and they allow me to see through walls...

Edit: I took the Excitable and Trustworthy traits.
Despite me not being a gnome, excitable is the defining word for Midiotoziggeroto and i am hinting that he may have come from gnomish stock. If its an issue i an easilly trade it for a generic +2 initiative trait.
Trustworthy is great for him because he is too young to really understand lying as well as having vain and abberant blood so he has a mixed bag when it comes to trying to chat someone up :)
Between trustworthy, naive, vain and excitable he has lots of personality for me to play off of ^_^
And huge competition for his swift actions each turn >.>


Sorry for the delay, the gameplay thread has started now. To answer a couple questions,

Per the magic-psionic transparency, detect magic and detect psionics are different methods of casting the same thing.

Not as a starting item, but there will definitely be opportunities to find one in this adventure.

...I can't tell why this is gnome-only. Okay, you can take it anyways.

Also, Feoryn has yet to check in. If she doesn't soon, she may be replaced.

Thomas can definitely relate to Midiotoziggeroto, since his duties have often taken him across large distances. He too recognizes the thrill and excitement of wondering what is on the other side of the next hill or around the bend in the trail. He might even try to provide a steady base for the adventurous young man.

I'm pretty sure I'd at least know of Mundarion as we tend to do the same thing in taverns.

Don't know about Gemheart, he sounds like the silent Mercenary type that keeps to themselves...

Some Expository on Thomas. Thomas is slightly odd. He is incredibly devout and tries to spread hope, but at the same time he's acutely aware of the darkness that surrounds him. This causes him to come off as gruff and he tries to avoid being outgoing as he attempts to avoid distractions.


Forgeborn map Armorist(Symbiotic Knight) / Incanter 6 || HP 53/60; g

gemheart isnt TOO taciturn, just isnt too social, either.

think of him as the blacksmith. busy at his work, usually not doing a whole lot of social things because he is very busy. not a mean guy, but doesn't really have much to talk about unless he is talking about his select areas of expertise.

Hey Mundarian,

We use ooc text (blue text) for out of character comments

Bold for in character speech

And italics for in character thoughts, although this isn't used much


Male Elf Rogue 3 / Wizard 3 | HP 25/25 | AC 17, T 13, FF 14

Ok. I'll try to remember that. It would also seem reasonable to assume that Mundarion and Thomas have met and compared notes at least once, so they should recognize one another.

As for my character, she came to Sigil after an unfortunate run-in with a pick pocket target who was better with a blade than her. For character relations, she can interact with the others but hasn't met any of them yet.

Well that's a tad rude lol. I'm not playing Lawful Stupid btw. I just think playing someone who has a strong conception of morals is an interesting variety from the glut of Chaotic, skill based characters I usually play.

I'm not a Palidin so I'm not going to behead you for pickpocketing someone. I'll just scold you, suggest you change your ways, and move on.

On the bright side, It's going to be interesting to see how Thomas interacts with all the Moral Gray in this group. :p

No no, not trying to be rude, good sir.
It was only the last game i played as a non-DM was a solamnic campaign and i was a thief. So you have non-magic paladins everywhere, hence was just a bit funny for me to have that as my first comment from another player, no offence intended.

Yeah, Trained skill = +3, Ranks (4) = +4, Dex (+4) = +4, Racial = +2

Climbs also pretty good for this character, 20ft racial speed, +8 from that, Racial rogue trick means another +4 and take 10 always, 4 ranks, +1 str, trained = total bonus +20

This should be interesting as we now officially have two sneaks in the party. The ninja should have the edge in straight up combat, Mundarion should probably be better at general information gathering. Should be interesting to see how things work out.

I third the anti-mobile typing sentiment voiced thus far!


Male Elf Rogue 3 / Wizard 3 | HP 25/25 | AC 17, T 13, FF 14

I may have made a mistake in my weapons load out in that I don't have a sap. No sap, no easy way to pummel people unconscious to take them prisoner (or just leave them to recover without having been hurt that badly). Might end up with a higher body count than I'd really like to have.

Mundarion looks things over and thinks:

I would be willing to wager gold against copper that these guys are up to no good. But I don't know that for an absolute fact. Then there's the little matter that I don't have the authority to dispense justice in Sigil. Being outnumbered three to one is also something to take into consideration. Last but not least these guys are not my mission. Getting through that trap door is. It may be that I simply have to wait until these guys leave. So I need a real good hiding place.
