I'm going to be dropping from this. It seems I will not be able to make the time commitment for this. Have fun all.

No sooner had Boshak gotten his mushroom ale than he heard murmurs of the festival beginning. "Never a dull moment here." He quickly chugs down the drink, the ale spilling out of his mouth and dribbling down his braided beard. He slams down the mug, drops 4 copper pieces on the table, and rushes out the door, bumping a table on the way to the sounds of angry patrons. He listens raptly to the introduction. A production going on the theater piques his interest, especially having never heard of the Harpy Queen. He logs that away in his mental notes, when the cry of scrolls makes his ear twitch. Before he even realizes it, he's standing in front of the stand with a small crowd of people. He squats down a bit, trying to get a closer look at the scrolls without touching them.
Boshak didn't get very far before realizing that it had been a whole hour since he had a drink. Having heard someone mention the Rusty Dragon, he decides to check it out. Walking in he finds it bustling with people, a long with most of his traveling companions. He yells to the nearest barmaid, "One mushroom ale if you got any!" At a strange look from a nearby patron, he explains. "It's a dwarf drink. We dwarves are raised by mushrooms." As the quizzical look on the patrons face deepens, he realizes his mistake. "We weren't raised by mushrooms. We were raised beside mushrooms. They are as much a part of us as our beards." He points to his braided beard. "Not saying we are part mushroom, just that... know what, I'm not drunk enough for this conversation." He goes and finds a place to sit.
Oh, let me just clarify that I am the Archivist archetype of a bard.
At the call, Boshak looks looks up from perusing a stand containing "rare" books." "Hmm? Ah yes, a tavern. Let's see..." Boshak looks up and to the left trying to recall information about Sandpoint. "Well you are in luck, this place is stock full of ale and taverns. Walk in a direction and you'll find one I'm sure." Waving him off, he turns back to the merchant and stats bluntly, "These books are no more rare than a burnt steak." And with that he walks off in search of more interesting items.
"All hail to ShadowBloodmoon, you are the DM.
Boshak pulls a rhyming dictionary from his backpack.
Sing praises unto the DM! Presenting Boshak Heauskaurit, Dwarf Bard, for your illustrious pleasure. (Not sure how to tie the background into Rise of the Runelords, as I don't know how it begins. Any suggestions would be great and I'll rework it to fit.)
I am in, of course, you know I am Magmar. Korvosa eh? Hmm... I'll assume we aren't going to be on horses, so we will be slow... I'd estimate a 5 day journey. If we don't run into anything of course. Boshak muses for a little bit, stroking his brown, braided beard, until he finds a bit of meat in it. That reminds him of food and he goes back to eating.
I don't know about the cities personally, but to save time, I'm going to assume the knowledge roll tells my character everything else.
Looks like the only one we are waiting for is Roidrage. Looks like he put together an alias for his dwarf bard, but he hasn't posted anywhere since Tuesday.
From the corner of the table Boshak speaks up. He had previously been stuffing his face, no time to talk, as he had just arrived from his long journey from Kalsgard, and had run out of food about half way. However, at the request for a story, Boshak just could not help himself. "I knew a dwarf who tripped once. He was standing on a barrel of ale, trying to reach the stock of mushrooms his brother had put on the top shelf. Little did he know his brother had done this as a prank, and right when he grabbed the mushrooms, his brother rushed out from the shadows and kicked the barrel under him. Somehow, instead of the barrel being knocked away, the lid on it broke open under the weight of the dwarf, and in fell dwarf and mushroom. Sputtering, the dwarf was about to yell at his brother, until he tasted the ale. That my friends, is how mushroom ale was born." He raises his mug in toast, and takes a deep draught of it, some dribbling down his beard.
Ok, my finished background is now up. I just need to finish appearance and personality, but those are less important. Also, I wasn't quite so sure about the Basic Defense Bonus. Is my AC essentially 11 right now then?
Ok, sorry I haven't posted in the game play yet. I've wanted to finish my background first. It is nearly completed. A.T. I need you to check out my background. Right now I'm trying to figure out how to get him back to Janderhoff. Do you have any suggestions? |
