Thanks for the second opportunity!

Giving up some of the magical aspects of the Magus class to cut things in half with a scythe. I find myself kind of wishing there were a staff magus variant of "scythe magus", but that would probably just be horribly disgusting.
In 6 games, but none of them are high impact. Typically 1 post per day, but often works out more like 1 every other day on some of them.
After reading about the characters in the game, I believe Aurachas might have had the most interaction with Aishe and Arkady. Aurachas has been a fixture in town for a long time now, that "touched" fellow working with the apothecary and doing odd jobs all around the village for no compensation other than to be able to continue to sleep and sometimes read in the annex of the apothecary shop. When Aishe started showing magical aptitude, Aurachas would have started showing some interest. But not an entirely comforting interest. More like a staring at her for longer than is necessary kind of interest, with a dubious expression that doesn't seem harmful but doesn't seem pleased or welcoming, either. If Arkady the wizard's been a local for a while, it is highly likely Aurachas fetched him reagents or spell components from the nearby forests. He seems to be pretty handy at wandering off and coming back with something useful. Even if he rarely has anything to say about it. If Yagello's been in town long enough to notice, he could probably say with some confidence that Aurachas is very much like some soldiers who have returned from battlefields where their own forces were slaughtered. It isn't a lot to go off of because the character concept is one of reserved isolation and thus no real strong background connections were likely to have been made, but this PC being a fixture in the village is something that would contribute to familiarity in the party. With the exception of Igmar it sounds like they could all reasonably call Heldren home.
Submitting the original concept I had for your first recruitment. If the PCs are still around the starting town, that's great. If not, inventing a motivation to get to them should not be too much of a stretch. I made a slight reinvention of the character sheet - the PC seems to function a bit better as a Hexcrafter, which fits the concept better.
Since I noticed there's a question mark there, Aurachas is most likely Kellish by blood, though not so much by culture...save for the fact that the first formative years of his life were spent alone in the woods with a witch, and by the time he reached civilization he had stunted development. Natural intelligence, just only marginally learnéd. He wandered quite a ways to the south after retreating from his mother's icy clutches.
Submitting a very unconventional Magus for consideration. This son of a witch is a very late bloomer for very grim reasons, and prefers to wield a scythe instead of a sword. Maybe because it makes more sense to him than the dangerous things he has learned... This would be my 4th and final PbP. Could manage more, but that ensures all are managed well. |
