We'll still be here, take the time you need to sort things out.

Adweard steps back, stabbing at the skeletal champion with his spear as he yells to Vaux, "Take out the necromancer!"
Adweard heads into the room, stabbing at the large skeleton in front of him while sacrificing some accuracy for power.
Adweard slams the butt of his spear into the ground and yells, "You champion evil and darkness, you will be brought to justice!"
Got the day off of college today and I’m headed to the beach with some friends. I’ll get my action up tonight.
Adweard keeps running, making it to the doorway.
I should be fine.
Adweard runs forward, going as fast as he can in his armor.
"Well, let us put these beings to rest and bring their enslaver to justice."
Seeing that the other skeleton is being dealt with, Adweard moves along with Vaux and lunges at the beast with his spear.
Adweard steps to the side before striking at the owlbear with his spear and saying to Ivar, "Press the attack!"
Adweard raises his spear in the air, saying, ”Trinity protect us, and may their righteousness cast down these wretched beasts!” He slams the butt of the spear into the ground, filling the party with courage and determination. He then points to the skeleton furthest to the right and says, ”Vaux, focus your blows on that one!”
Adweard hops off his horse, grabbing the trusty longspear he's used since his days in the Holtesburg militia.
Adweard hops off his horse, approaching the man with a broad smile, ”No need for that, friend. We are equals in the eyes of the Three. I am Adweard Holte, Dean of the Order, these are my companions and advisors. We are here on...troubling tidings, I am afraid. Reports have made their way to the capital speaking of missing children, and rumors of haunts and the dead rising. Would you know of those at all, or any who might?”
Weird, my post got eaten by the site. I think everything in region 12 is loyal to us. That's an interesting point about a royal marriage. I had thought about trying that but I think the structuring of the Order's government and their distaste for landed nobility makes succession like that impossible. That said, Fathomir does seem like a good possibility for an initial alliance, possibly even Daercia too.
"If there are supernatural goings-on, it is my duty to investigate. Even if it is just children going missing, it would be wise to find it nonetheless." He nods to Frank, "I will accompany you. It has been too long since I saw the nation as a whole, and the people would do well to have their Dean among them for a time."
Councilor is definitely a solid title pick. The Eyes of the Dean is a really cool name, and definitely something that could get developed as time goes on and the intrigue gets thicker.
Adweard smiles, ”A fine idea. Never hurts to be on the good side of a doomsayer, regardless of the veracity of their claims.”
Adweard remembers what he knows of the Storm Crow, and the knowledge that his is not the only realm to be promised the Storm reassures him slightly. "Well, thank you, good traveller. The Three willing, we shall resist the storm." Once the Crow has left, he takes his seat once more, waiting for the scout to arrive from the south.
Adweard had troubling dreams the night before, of ravens calling in the dark of night, amidst thunder and wind. This did not bode well. He stands from his seat, an ornate marble affair, at the head of the room, his eyebrows furrowed with worry. He takes a deep breath, summoning all the regal bearing he has, ”And on what authority do you say this with? I am willing to listen, but what is this Storm you herald, and how do you know for certain it will?”
Well great to hear you got the vaccine!
I think option C is the closest to what Aedward would want. Both in terms of logistics and character, I have no desire to make all the decisions, but the Order is very meritocratic by design and I think the Dean and his closest advisors (all of you) as being a more or less equal group. I’d definitely have to take center stage in official dealings and the like, but one of Aedward’s main goals is to make the order even more egalitarian than it’s been and I think that would show through.
Fortunately the quarantine isn't too rigorous, mainly just entailing not spending too much time with non-roommates and limiting time in town. I've heard of that being done, though I'm at a pretty small state school so there wasn't a huge need for measures like that.
Made it to college, and I'm mostly settled down with two weeks of quarantine ahead of me! Let the boredom (and presumably plentiful posting) commence!
I’ve got it.
I’ve got enough to pitch in for a wand of CLW. I think Aedward would be iffy about regularly using evil spell.
Hey y’all, just FYI I’m moving into my college this weekend and won’t have access to my computer until tomorrow afternoon so I may not be too available to post.
Melee. No need for mage armor.
Ichabod, that’s because we didn’t PbP on the boards per se. You’d remember me as Alakras, the half orc, half scorpion man of Prevail! @The GM, part of what drew me to the Church of the Three was actually the defined ranks. I had no clue what to call the leader of a former mercenary company, and seeing the title of Dean right there to use I added the religious angle.
The Order of the Righteous Trinity will select Frank Engels
Exam was surprisingly easy. Let’s go for Scefgod, he’s got party endorsement and can help to fill in any cracks in our healing capabilities.
Ach, difficult decisions then. Any case, I've got an exam to take and I'll sort out what I'll do afterwards.
I think I'll go for the summoner. We're also somewhat missing rogue/scouting action, and that's a niche that's a bit harder to fill than healing.
Well don’t get me wrong, I’ll take a fun party over a mechanically sound party any day. I’ve got healing spells on my list so I’m happy to rely on wands and have successfully done so in a pretty long-running all fighter Ironfang Invasion game. If we want the summoner, let’s go for the summoner.
Hm, some more substantive healing could be useful. Any thoughts on the various potential healers?
The Order would like to invite Ichabod Carbuncle to the council!
I’ve also played with caster a fair bit. Happy to have Ichabod Carbuncle if we can.
Ah, yeah. I went inquisitor.
Looks like I’m up! The Order would like to invite Ivar Theodinson to their ranks!
Adweard Holte asks Vaux the Many-Scaled to stand before him and recieve his anointment as a protector of the Order of the Righteous Trinity!

Hey folks! Adweard here, ruler of the Order of the Righteous Trinity. I figure I'll give a rundown on Adweard's general character and methods for character building. Chaotic characters will get along best with him, but despite that he strongly emphasizes good strategy and careful planning. Just because his morality steers him away from meticulous order, battle is a different thing entirely. He's got strong moral convictions, seeing it as his divine duty to combat evil and excessive law. He has similar expectations of those he associates with, but is willing to tolerate and even celebrate those with differing opinions as long as they are also interested in the greater good of things. Adweard can be quite hot-headed at times though, and his naturally martial temperament can be goaded towards conflict without too much difficulty, so cooler tempers could be a useful addition to the council. Looking past the pomp, ceremony, and religious fervor, the Order is a boisterous and free-spirited organization. They began as a wandering fellowship, and though they've settled down there's still a strong spirit of celebration and camaraderie. I'd like my adventuring party to reflect that. |
