I am here just not much for her to do already gave what info I had. no idea what it means though.
upon completion of examining the rune Andromeda turns to the gathering. this marking seems to indicate a strong conjuration magic, very much akin to a gate spell. it is definitely a calling spell, as my examination has seemed to called all of you here
** spoiler omitted ** in gnome:
so far it seems to have called all of you she retorts a bit sarcastically.
Virgo just tries to hold back a laugh.
Virgo tugs at Andromeda's arm trying to get her attention. Not now Virgo can't you see I am trying to decipher this magic rune. Virgo tugs again I said not now she repeats glancing back then noticing several party members entering the ally. in gnome:
I knew it, conjuration, calling effect She turns back to continue her examination.
She continues to concentrate to identify the exact spell. or her known equivalent.
Virgo listens to her master but is soon distracted Are you paying attention? Andromeda asks Virgo points at what she sees I wonder if that is important? Andromeda turns to take a look. most interesting, Virgo, make a note of the symbol and Andromeda mutters some arcane words and her eyes ice over allowing her to see magical auras.
Virgo nods at the the request and pulls out a small journal book and makes a sketch of the symbol.
Andromeda and Virgo close by wander the market place casually looking at the various wares for sale. always keeping an eye out for the others that arrived with her. eventually she makes her way to an alleyway. looking for some cooler shade. Virgo looks to Andromeda M'lady we are not making any progress like this. we really should question people Andromeda turns to Virgo. Shhh. I am making observations. nobody here will be able to help us. what we are looking for will be much more discreet. direct questioning will probably lead us nowhere.
OK if interested and you can see pics on facebook
not the place for Andromeda
home from vacation just trying to see what the heck is going on in the adventure. any recap help appreciated. does not look like Andromeda had much to do except look for some place cold to hang out for a while. also are we making any progress on our mission?
Still here and still on vacation
I will only be around for 3 or 4 more days then I am off to the Bahamas until the 17th of July. and at .65 per min for internet access I will not be online much if at all.
eventually Andromeda and Virgo make thier way through the Jello.
Once inside seeing the busy streets appears the protections make the place look deserted when it is not looking at Virgo Stay close I don't to loose you in this crowd. especially if I need your assitance The pair of gnome wander the market place a bit trying to keep as many of the others in view. trying to take note of any oddities in the people, also what kind of currency they use. also trying to note if they are recieving any undue attention
the thread is starting to get cold...
Andromeda and virgo simply walk up toward the main gates. if open they enter the city. otherwise they both stop and examine the gates for a means to open them or at least announce their presence.
Andromeda, with Virgo in tow attempt to locate some sort of main road that appears to lead to the city walls. once located or something close enough They will both land. and starts to walk approaching the city .
If it will get us out of the heat you bet. Virgo pips up but the more reserved Andromeda simply nods her approval of virgo's decision. It feels like ages since I was able to actually fly, I wonder if I even remember how. Andromeda and Vigo both begin thier flight to the city ahead.
When Andromeda and Virgo arrive the hot air hits them hard. gnome:
what the blazes!, why would our host choose us to help considering this most unpleasant of environments! there had best be something cold when we reach that city Virgo clings to Andromeda
gnome:
Yes. m'lady err I mean Andromeda, I hate the hot too. but we can survive. besides maybe we can convert this land to ice once the mission is done Andromeda looks to Virgo with a touch of anger gnome: Virgo, we are not here to conquer! we are here to help, I am trying a new approach, remember
Virgo speaks up I'm not, I just am a companion to Andromeda, but Andromeda.. but before she can finish Andromeda makes a motion with her hand and ice forms over Virgo's mouth preventing her from finishing. she then gets up and goes over to L'os Its something we are trying to put behind us. pleased to meet you. please forgive my friend she sometimes get very excited and syas things that she shouldn't
The newcomer arrives and a little gnome comes bouncing up to her. hello...My name is Virgo. I am a close companion to Andromeda over there. indicating the blue haired gnome enjoying apparently extremely cold wine. Virgo is unique that she has only 4 fingers on each hand and it is apparent she was born that way. She seems to radiate an aura of ice and cold. as does Andromeda. You looks like a noble, are you a noble? do you have a castle?, is there a moat?, Andromeda has Frost Giants as bodyguards but they stayed home.
Virgo looks at Andromeda. what do you think? could lead to new trade agreements, even new allies. Andromeda ponders the offer i do like the idea of being in my debt. that would be profitable to our people. She looks to her host we accept your offer. It will be Ice to work with you
I avoided intelligent items considering I had basically two chaarcters to outfit within the monetary guidelines.
Andromeda nods to the tall lady named Sheila. Hello, I am sorry about Virgo here she can be a little excitable at times. and yes I do have Frost giants as guards for my home but not personal body guards like Virgo likes to believe. Andromeda offers her cold hand We may not have officially been introduced, I am Andromeda Virgo looks to Andromeda gnome: no other ice natives here, I wonder if we are in the right place? Andromeda replies we must be, the letter would not have taken us to the wrong spot. I just think it is time to find out why we are here
Virgo Jumps up to see the newcomer. skittering over to her. she looks up at the tall person. Hi, I'm Virgo, Your tall, just like the frost Giants Andromeda has as body guards back home Andromeda turns upon hearing her name. then looks back at the dragon in draconic:
I don't really have a "true self" but I do have other forms, If you will excuse me I need to retrieve my companion Andromeda gets up and goes to move Virgo back to the table. both Andromeda and Virgo are tiny compared to the giant lady
Andromeda and Virgo simply finish eating and watch the others display their abilities. Andromeda smiles and on occasion applauds the abilities of others. she does nothing to indicate that she needs to make any display. she knows she is a bit cold. to her, Frigid is a compliment.
Andromeda simply remains silent doing all she can to ignore the goblin. enjoying her meal while her companion, Virgo sit next to her chomping on some nearly raw meat. Andromeda seems to be enjoying a very cold glass of wine. and the food in front of her seems to have a bit of frost burn.
Andromeda just rolls her eyes and tries not to give the goblin unintended signals. She goes back to having a drink. andromeda seems to have an air of nobility but she seems to be trying to not be so "noble"
Andromeda turns to address the fellow gnome that has introduced himself in gnome:
Hello Goro, I see you are most likely as old as the hills. so tell me are you frozen in time? Virgo shakes Goro's hand glad to meet you too Goro she says in common, then hops on over to the food table and starts to grab some meat apparently looking for the least cooked cuts nope, to well done, what this might as well be burnt., ahhh here is a good one and still bleeding too. she starts to dig in.
Andromeda takes her hand and a chill goes up star's arm feeling how cold Andromeda's skin is. Virgo is the same. it is a pleasure to meet you Virgo comes over Hi, I'm Virgo
You will find there are very few languages I do not understand. I made it a point to learn to communicate to as meany different species as possible. it does broaden one's horizons Virgo speaks up
Andromeda was about to answer the goblin but is interrupted by the host. The white haired gnome moves beside her companion gnome in gnome:
It would appear that this may prove interesting. wouldn't you agree? Andromeda replies to her friend gnome:
I do agree Virgo. Andromeda goes to see what food is available.
greetings all, I am Andromeda and this one is Virgo she say indicating the white haired gnome.
The first thing that he will notice is that both of the gnome seem to radiate cold. their very breath seems cold.
in goblin:
I have no reason to protect you. then the white haired gnome speaks up in gnome:
That was cold... The white haired on looks back at her companion
Arriving after sparky had made his demands two gnomes appear the first with Ice blue hair and some sort of light armor that seems a bit fancy more than fully practical. the other gnome has white hair and a darker colored robes. the second gnome has one distinguishing feature of having only 4 fingers on each hand. They look about the room the second gnome is the first to speak
in gnome:
m'lady, it appears others have been called as well the blue haired gnome replies
in gnome: It would seem so, we should avoid formalities while here
Andromeda hold the letter staring at it in disbelief at first
She strolls the halls of her estate pondering what she should do. later Andromeda sets the letter still unsigned on her desk as she attends to other affairs. then later in the evening she returns to it. re-reading the writing and recalling the events of the day. Virgo! yes m'lady Virgo, take this message Archamedes. she commands as she scribbles a note instructing Archamedies to handle the nation in her absense. then get ready, we are about to see who sent this, and why they seem it necessary to summon the Ice Witch Virgo scampers off to deliver the message as Andromeda packs her things as well as Virgo's when Virgo returns they both assume their gnome forms and sign the document.
@Silver, tbh I am not sure. I think once you post under the alias of your character, it should show you as a player. But I could be wrong. This is true just post in character and you are in.
I would like feedback for Andromeda. I have some ideas to expand on it and it is a custom setting
ok I got something for a concept of a story for the character I did not detail her entire adventureing career but focused on the day she recieved the letter described in the campaign info tab. I believe it leaves quite a large plot hook as Andromeda and Virgo discover things about her past that just might be better off undiscovered... dreams: Lissandra's magic twists the pure power of ice into something dark and terrible. With the force of her black ice, she does more than freeze – she impales and crushes those who oppose her. To the terrified denizens of the north, she is known only as "The Ice Witch". The truth is much more sinister: Lissandra is a corrupter of nature that plots to unleash an ice age on the world. Centuries ago, Lissandra betrayed her tribe to evil creatures, known as the Frozen Watchers, in return for power. That was the last day that warm blood ran through her veins. With her corrupted tribesmen and the strength of the Watchers, she swept across the land like a terrible blizzard. As her empire spread, the world grew colder and ice choked the land. When the Watchers were defeated by ancient heroes, Lissandra did not lose faith and swore to prepare the world for their return. Lissandra worked to purge all knowledge of the Watchers from the world. Using magic to take human form, she masqueraded as numerous seers and elders. Over the course of generations, she rewrote the stories of the Freljord, and so the history of its people changed. Today the fragmented retellings of the Watchers are seen as children's tales. But this deception wasn't enough – Lissandra also needed an army. She set her sights on the noble Frostguard tribe. Lissandra knew corrupting the Frostguard would take centuries, and so she launched her greatest deception. She murdered and stole the identity of the Frostguard leader. Then she slowly began to warp the tribe's proud traditions. When her human form grew old, she faked her own death and then murdered her successor to steal her identity. With each generation, the Frostguard grew more insular, cruel and twisted. Today, the world still sees them as a noble and peaceful tribe that guards against evil creatures like the Ice Witch. In truth, they now serve the witch and long for the glorious return of the Watchers. Lissandra knows that on that day nations will fall and the world will be reborn in ice. "Close your eyes and let the cold take you." Andromeda opened her eyes a small layer of frost formed on her face as her sweat froze. Virgo! She cried out. Yes, m’lady Virgo replied as she jumps up on the bed beside Andromeda. I had the dream again, About the Ice witch Lissandra m’lady, you know as well as I Lissandra was killed well over a hundred years ago. You are the Ice Witch now, the last of the iceborn Virgo replies attempting to reassure Andromeda of her position. As ruler of the Glacier fortress. Andromeda gets out of her bed. And goes to the ice formed balcony overlooking the fortress courtyard. Just below her perch stand two frost giants as silent sentinels guarding the entrance to Andromeda’s private chambers. Andromeds’s morning routine is interrupted by a knock on the door. Virgo shifts form from a tiny bipedal lizard to a slightly larger gnome. And goes over to open the door. Standing there is a small gnomeish figure his frost white beard and frost covered face. Holding a small silver tray and upon the tray rests a sealed envelope. (Winter fey redcap) Message for the Ice Queen he says. Virgo retrieves the message and dismisses the messenger. He bows and exits the chamber. Andromeda turns to Virgo Well? What does it say? she commands as she returns to her chamber and closes the doors to the balcony. Before the sun’s heat ruins the day. Virgo opens the letter but apparently cannot make heads or tales of what is written on it. Well? Andromeda urges, getting impatient at the delay. It says nothing, only these runes along the edges and a line upon the bottom Virgo replies. Andromeda snatches the paper from Virgo’s hand let me see
dotting in here also I assume this is a home brew game world so whatever places we create in a back story would be alright? I keep ending up with my character being evil every time I come up with something cool for a back story..
The only questions i usually have are where you found certain items or how you caculated certain bonuses or stats. This is really for my own character creation ieas in the future I still need some help with a backstory so please toss some ideas my way
Are we supposed to help check each other's characters? becuase I have some questions about other characters but I prefer not to post them here nor judge other's characters.
Ok got some crunch behind the alias now!
well got my alias need to attach the character crunch and of course its all typed up in word at home and here I sit at work. also still trying to find the perfect story. BTW the Avatar pic really has only a slight resemblence to the character |
