Congrats to the winners, enjoy the reward of terror before you!

MWahahahahahaah!!

Heads out to try again, laughing manically.

:( Always next time.


Much envy. Many happy for you!

Little strange to be chopping wood, at night, in the pouring rain no less.

Something is off here. I do not know what, yet. Let us see with our eyes what is going on.

Strange, I can cover that distance in a few moments at a sprint, why am i no closer?

Shivers with a chill not brought on by the rain.

Sees the man chopping wood, stops and bends over placing hands upon knees to catch his breath.

Then begins to chuckle, then to laugh uproariously.

Maybe..puff puff..there is something..strange about that place after all! I'm an idiot, make sure it sounds like I'm Heroic Idiot in your song!

That is what he saw, check his post out above:)


Male Human Fighter (Cad) 1

Dashing into the storm, Angus runs to figure he saw at full speed, heedless of the rain and dark.

Uses his off hand to wipe rain from his eyes.

Right, rain, storm, dark...blast it all!

Glances to the slight man beside him.

Doesn't look like much in a fight...Well, at least some one will remember me. Even if I'm idiot.


Male Human Fighter (Cad) 1

As he walks to the door Angus replies

Goblin, Tyrant..whatever. Some one may need help or vengeance. You stand to for the right thing long enough, maybe someday there will be no more wrong to stand against. Something a teacher told me once.

Keeps striding to door not bothering to grab his cloak.

Strange, I remember the door being closer.


Male Human Fighter (Cad) 1

But not the murder or chopping part!

Jethnash glances out the window.

"Oh, it looks like a person is committing the act you refer to as murder. Or maybe he's just chopping up a body to hide it? Do you think we should try, and see if we can help?"

Loosens sword and heads for the door, eyes hardened and as sharp as his blade.

YES


Male Human Fighter (Cad) 1

Glances outside, glimpses something strange. Shakes head, looks into cup, then sets it down and requests something different.

Must be the drink and fatigue playing tricks with my eyes. Still.

Did anybody else see something out the window?


@Faore: Back story required.


Male Human Fighter (Cad) 1

Notices the Prof. Taladia lurking in the shadows, remembers him for a stern lecture about turning up to class smelling of filth and booze.

Not a fun night before, but at least Jenda was saved. The guard wouldn't go below ground at night.

He had.
The booze helped hide the shakes and fever he came back with.

Still made a passing grade on your verbal barrage of a test you bastard!

Smiles broadly and raises his cup to the Prof.

"I will try to make it one of my best. A story about a swordsman tutored by a scholar who later on in his life became a legend with the blade. I can almost see the notes now."

Jethnash pulls up his journal and begins to write in it.

"Thank-you for bring me this tale."

Not a legend yet, my friend. Best not to test fate, how about a song of people who met in a spooky tavern and traded stories of interest and drinking?


Male Human Fighter (Cad) 1

Must bow out for the night, it midnight here on the east coast.


Male Human Fighter (Cad) 1

Yes, that is the man. I studied under him at the Lepidstadt University. He taught Advanced Religion at the time. I was an excellent student of his. We would spend hours after classes discussing various facets of deities, worship, and faith. He tried multiple time to get me to study magic with him, but, I felt my calling with steel instead.

Taps hilt of sword several times with glass.

As long as it is a good song, I do not mind!


Male Human Fighter (Cad) 1

Excellent, well, that's a start at least.

I, truthfully, haven't seen much out of the ordinary but the company here this night. [b/]

Raises glass to Fester, then to ladies and company.

Feels cold, cold hands wrap around his waist, sending shivers through his frame. Looks behind him, sees no one.

[b]But then I could have missed something.


Male Human Fighter (Cad) 1

Your welcome, Fester!

Well, better than a blade in the gut, I guess.

Something for you, mister?


Male Human Fighter (Cad) 1

Creepy...


Male Human Fighter (Cad) 1

Notes the tone used.

This could be going better...Oh well, if he's trouble better me than someone else. Might as well light it up, maybe some benedictions from The Drunkard will help.

Well then friend Fester, let us make an offering to my favorite god! A round for the house in Cayden Caileans honor!

Sets coins on bar top for a tips.

"You don't seem scary at all, at least to me." Fester says with a wry laugh, and then continues, "I don't really know what passes for scary among humans though."

I didn't think so, to some you would look quite intimidating I can assure you.

Hastily adds Not trying to poke at you my friend! Just getting out the rain tonight on my way to a funeral.


Male Human Fighter (Cad) 1

Looking at Ysmerelda as the child run off, I'm not that scary, am I?


Male Human Fighter (Cad) 1

Hearing the lass warn about "him", Angus moves closer to the elf and the tiny women to hear more of "him".

Pardon my intrusion, but I could hear more of this Phantom if you could, please? My name is Angus. What is yours bringer of yummy soup?


Male Human Fighter (Cad) 1

The the rumors are true then, this place must be truly haunted. Sounds rather interesting. Shame the professor isn't here, he would've loved this.

Eyes the two men and their conflict, hand slipping to his sword by habit. but removes it when the barkeep reprimands the two.

Watches the reactions of the others as well.

Taking his soup and cup, Angus moves close to the fire to dry off some more.

Yum, this soup is excellent. Is that garlic and onion?


Male Human Fighter (Cad) 1

Gratefully takes the rum and then the soup. Eyes the strange child carefully, but nodes in thanks when served.

Listens quietly as the attractive child?...women? questions the bartender. Also watches the man talking to himself carefully, mental patients being some what common at home, he watches silently to see if he is a little insane or just off.

Tips cup and smiles at any that meet his gaze.

edit:wrong alias used! whoops!!


Male Human Fighter (Cad) 1

Heavy rain starts pounding the rooftop mere moments before his entry, the door opens to claps of thunder powerful enough to rattle plates and glasses.

Opening the door is an average man, hood pulled tight in a feeble attempt to stay dry. Drenched from head to toe he drips for a moment as he removes his cloak and hangs it to dry. He then set his pack to the floor.

With his cloak gone it reveals a thin figure with red hair, chain shirt covering his torso and a rapier and hammer fasten to his belt.

Just my luck! Not even five strides to go!

Peers around the room as he wipes water from his face, noticing the multitude of ladies in attendance.

Well, at least the company is fair this night!

Heads to bartender, Something warm and filling, please, and a cup for the chill in air.

Turns to room, looking for company, but not willing to barge in.

I'm sure most in here are accustomed to more handsome lads than me!


I ran this campaign from start to finish, but I would like to play in it as well. I do keep my knowledge out of my playing style, but if you do not feel comfortable with it, I understand.

So for consideration, Angus Walker.

Background:
A graduate of the prestigious Lepidstadt University and favorite student of The Professor, Angus is also among the most skilled swordsmen in the city. Having dueled in the hills he has several "lepidstadt scars" on his face, mostly due to his aggressive focus on Step one, attack first, followed by step two, repeat step one.

Angus is driven and loyal, he seeks to become a world renown fencer and always stands to the aid of his allies and friends. First into a fight he is also last out and will not surrender to any odds if his friends are in trouble. Honorable in a duel he follows the strict code he learned at University, but in a true battle he will do anything needed to protect his friends and win the fight.

He wears his heart on his sleeve, gives freely to those in need, stands to for those that can not, and lives freely in the moment.

The deeds of the day matter, we can address the needs of tomorrow then.
