After introducing himself to the rest of the Maldrons, Arno stands alongside one of the walls, trying to be unobtrusive, if that's possible for a man wearing armor and a large sword still on his back, while in a house full of halflings. He slides over to Lonnie and says quietly, "You really have a nice family here. Is there someplace we can all talk afterward that's a little more private?"
After introducing himself to the rest of the Maldrons, Arno stands alongside one of the walls, trying to be unobtrusive, if that's possible for a man wearing armor and a large sword still on his back, while in a house full of halflings. He slides over to Lonnie and says quietly, "You really have a nice family here. Is there someplace we can all talk afterward that's a little more private."
Thoughts and prayers for you and the family!
Arno nods. "Thank you, Lonnie. Most gracious of you, truly."
I suggest we head for Lonnie's house (so he can establish a bit, too), for the night, and from then on, possibly try and settle an HQ in the Nidalese Embassy. Not that we'll be leading any sort of rebellion, of course. Wholeheartedly agreed.
Arno eyes the alleyway entrance back to the main street, hearing chaos still sweeping through the Kintargo streets. "Perhaps we should continue this conversation elsewhere? It may not be safe here. Then we can see if we can help him, and figure out what to do now." He turns to look at Lonnie. "Can we still all go to your place or does this change things?"
Arno walks over as Tasha motions for him to come out from around the corner.
He nods, letting go of the sword hilt, and stretches his hands toward heaven. Then he brings his arms down and places a hand on his wounds. May this one live to bring about your vengeance.
Arno whispers to Johann, in case the thugs are still within earshot once they leave, and points to Felinder.
"Trust me. It's what I would do." Yes. What exactly IS it that you do? Arno pulled in a deep breath, and let it out, steadying his nerves and looks at Felinder.
Arno seeks to be a conduit of Ragathiel's favor, and then turns to follow Johann.
"Besides, if I was in there getting beaten up by Thrune agents, I'd question my rescuer's motives later. Not never, but definitely later.", she quips, venturing deeper. That seemed good enough for Arno as he draws his sword.
After hearing the conflict in a nearby alleyway to the south, Arno motions everyone to silence.
If he killed someone, he's worthy of death right? But now, so am I. Arno puts his hand on the hilt of his sword and prepares to run in either direction.
"I think... Arno, correct? You are able to mend wounds, correct?", she throws a glance at Arno. "And cause them, too. Flexibility is a good thing, wouldn't you say, Felinder? Especially of the moral variety." Arno stares at Felinder. "Er, Felinder... How did you get hurt?" I guess it doesn't really matter. I'm sworn to protect, not kill. I'm not a murderer.Only...I am. I killed someone today. And not just SOMEONE, some sort of agent of Thrune. Dad is going to kill me. Arno extends his hand to shake Felinder's. "My name is Arno Devarax. I'm sure I'm pleased to meet you," he says, unable to hide the sarcasm in his tone.
Well don't send them to mine. I went from wanting to be one, to being an enemy of one. And Dad is really going to kill me if he finds out what I did today.
Thank you all. My father in law was discharged, after getting topped off with fluids, late yesterday afternoon and is now home resting comfortably. Good to hear! Also, thanks for the update. Very gracious of you.
Hey, congratulations! I remember when I was graduating high school, in the distant 2012, when giants and mammoths roamed the lands... Does that make me the old man of the group? I graduated in 2001. Seriously though, super congrats to IRL accomplishment. That's important stuff right there!
"Come on, people. Move, move, move!" Arno shouts, ushering as many people as possible as he runs away from the scene.
How does 'Closed Casket' Lonnie sound as an example?Don't you dare, He'll cry. Way to give the GM motivation ;) As for Arno and Lonnie, I had proposed Lonnie and Johann as possibilities, but we ended up going with Johann as friends, though I agree with Lonnie, that they could very well likely know each other.
Johann! - After the rush of attackers and chaos...He better be fine.
Arno follows the armored woman's lead and ushers whoever he can to safety.
The thug's body falls in front of Arno, chest opened by the cut of his sword. What have I done? The dotarri advance on the citizens in his area. No, on me! Now I've done it. Arno steps up, again instinctively, and apologizes to the capable woman in mail next to him, as he strikes at the dotarri in front of him.
Rolls:
The thug misses Arno so badly, he hit his own leg and growled in frustration. "GAH! How did I do more damage to me than you did?" Protected by the Lord of Vengeneance. Arno swings again with full force at the brute in front of him.
I'm ok with the crit generator. I could really go either way, so whatever everyone else wants do is fine by me.
Totally down with the GM rolling Initiatives. And thanks again for running this Adventure and getting this specific group together. This could be a very promising run if everyone can stick around.
Arno watches, readying himself as the two sides seemed in an inevitable conflict. Then a word from above, and the dotarri rush the citizens of Kintargo. As several other "citizens" throw off their cloaks, revealing themselves plants for Thrune, one of them cuts down a peaceful protester beside Arno. Arno draws his sword and unthinking, unflinching swings the heavy blade down on the man in front of him.
Arno's thoughts catch up to his actions.
And then, shortly after that...
And I hope Dad doesn't hear about this.
Arno lets out a deep gasp of relief when he hears "Your lord-mayor hears you."
Arno readies himself to grab his sword, keeping a keen eye on the line between protesters and Thrune's dotarri.
His AOO's in combat will add +5 to your AC as well, I call his build "Nicest guy in the world". Well played.
In a new location of the protest, Arno pays close attention to what those surrounding him are saying while keeping a close eye on any militants - protesters or the dotarri or anyone else. I am the eyes and ears of the city, ever guarding as Ragathiel's arm. He paused to consider this. Wow. Do I really think I'm actually THAT important?
Arno eyes a man attempting to help organize the differing protest groups.
Arno's eyes are stayed on the dotarri.
Because he's right. He always is, it seems. Annoying sometimes... His eyes scan to the crowd watching as a hound himself. Perhaps More like sheepdog, carefully watching the flock. Still the similarities were striking between he and dotarri. They certainly went about things differently though. Different motives, too.
Rolls:
"I can feel the swelling of tide, Johann. Be careful. It feels like there is going to be a crashing of chaos against the rocks here."
"He can indeed. The question that remains to be seen is WILL he?" Johann's right. Can't argue with it. Still...it seems wrong somehow to wave the fist in defiance. The burning church of the Dawnflower sears hot into Arno's memory.
But what can be down about everything that's happened as of late? What SHOULD be done? Ragathiel guide me with your strong arm... Arno follows in Johann's wake, weaving through the crowd, listening to the volleying of shouts in outrage.
"Er...quite the crowd," Arno says to Johann. "Who's heading up this protest anyway? I hope things don't get out of hand. The crowds seem pretty angry." My duty is to my people. These people are my flock - soldiers of the Great General - whether they are actually a soldier or not. As Arno thinks of soldiers, he eyes any city soldiers that may be standing by, watching them as they watch the protesters. I'm not envious of THEM today. Still, I'm sure once everyone's finished saying what they have to say, they'll all just go their separate ways...
In my backstory, I have Arno attending the protest with a friend who convinced him to attend. Based on you all, I think either Johann or Lonnie would make sense?... Not sure what you to think.
Greetings everyone. Super excited about this adventure!
Equipment and everything else should be good now.
As far as crunch goes, Arno is caster cleric looking to PrC into Signifier with a focus on and Buffing and Summoning.
Alright, Master Elodin here with his submission of his eventual Hellknight Signifier/Enforcer. Background and character sheet are in the profile. I left some room for connections to one or more of the PCs and possibly some NPCs in town. I knew where I was headed with this guy. Just took me a while of how to figure out how I wanted to get there. I think the only thing I have left to do is some equipment (which I find boring but of course necessary).
