Brother Darin Sicklegrin's page

Darin claps in excitement. Excellent! We go in, cull some cultists and be back in time for dinner. This is the most fun I've had in ages!

Knowledge: Religion: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15

Just assume I'm here and not chatting with a priest. :)

Hmm...demons and invisible monkeys. It seems this is going to be an interesting outing!

From what the priests told us, Creus was forgotten for centuries. Luckily, Our Father has the gift of prophecy, and was able to speak his tenants anew! Darin's smile stretches his face in a slightly unsettling manner. Would you like an informative pamphlet? I've been trying to pass them out, but I have yet to have any takers.

Darin's smile grows even bigger as the man walks up to him. No wonder, friend! The faith of the Shattered Smile isn't very widespread. In fact, I haven't come across another of the faithful in the nine years I've been travelling! It seems the people of this area think of Desna and Cayden alone when they hear the word 'freedom'.

Darin trots into town at roughly noon, whistling merrily, and stands in the town square preaching the gospel of Creus to whoever will listen. Unsurprisingly, almost no one wants to get near the creepy smiling man spouting gibberish about a god none of them have ever heard of.

Alright, here's my character, Darin. Stats and backstory are in the alias. I'm excited to use him again, as I've only used him for a one-shot.

Hello. Is the game over? Who got what loot?

I won't have internet access for the next week. Just a heads up.

The obvious answer is a STEEL CAGE BRAWL TO THE DEATH.
I'm fine with any method of distribution.

If nobody has their heart set on the CLW wand, I'll take it.

That's fine :). So, what loot did we get, and who gets what?

Darin pokes around the corpses as well, looking for anything particularly shiny.

"*pant, pant* Woo! That song felt good. Better than therapy, that's for sure."

Excellent game, albeit slow-paced.

I'm thinking of making either a Words of Power sorcerer or a spell-focused druid as my second character. Is WoP allowed? If not, I can fall back on the druid, but I'd prefer to play the sorcerer, in all honesty.

"Seeeet their pets on fiiiiiire! Maaaaaake them watch them buuuuurn~!"
Darin doesn't even bother moving at this point, as it will probably make no difference to the outcome. He does attempt to shore up his defenses, though. Just in case.

Free: Continue Inspire Courage +1 (4/8 rounds left)
Standard: Total defense (+4 AC for one round)

Just so you know, Darin had moved diagonally last round, so he starts at the square above the bench.
At this point, what Darin is doing can't legally be called "singing", although his voice is certainly singsong.
"ANARCHY! ANARCHYYYYYYY! A dead spider-b**** for every slave taken by their matriaaaaaarchs~!"
He takes a step to the left, and, once again, tries to cover his weak spots.

Free: Continue Inspire Courage +1 (5/8 rounds remaining)
Move: Walk five feet to the left.
Standard: Total defense (+4 AC for one round)

I'm liking Darin more and more as I play. Mental stability is vastly overrated when compared to the songs of a Creus worshiper.

Darin's song has almost ceased to be a song at all, having already devolved to a furious rant.
"Breaaaak their freaking aaaaaaaarms! Baaaash their flimsy cave-elf skulls iiiiiiin~!"
He then creeps in just a little bit more, once again attempting to cover his weak spots.

Free: Continue Inspire Courage +1 (6/8 rounds left)
Move: walk 5 feet diagonally to the upper right
Standard: Total defense (+4 AC for one round)

"Staaaab the noooble, buuurn his hoooooouse~"
Still singing his lovely, increasingly goblin-esque song, Darin draws his bow, and puts his guard up for the inevitable barrage of crossbow bolts/arrows.

Free: Continue Inspire Courage +1 (7/8 rounds remaining)
Move:Draw bow
Standard: Total defense (+4 AC for 1 round)

Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15
Darin moves into the tavern and, ignoring the lute strapped to his back, starts singing about anarchy and dead slavers.
Move: 10 feet strait forward
Standard: Inspire Courage +1 (audible)

That awkward moment when you have 28 unspent gold and no torches...derp.

Darin fidgets a little. "I say we charge the door. Here's my idea: I'll stay in the back and play music, while everyone else breaks Dark Elf face. Then, I go in and steal their stuff, we get paid, and we all live on liquor and pork for the next few weeks. Does that sound agreeable?"

I think it might be. I've got nothing.

"The only light I need is the dim, slightly wavering light of the Shattered Smile." The bard chuckles a little, then turns slightly more serious. "So, what's the plan so far? Rush in and cut them? Sneak in and cut them? Oh! I know! We'll come in with a peace treaty, and become mutual friends and allies. Then cut them."

Hello, I'm reading.

Darin greets his new "buddies" heartily, and waits for the others to prepare. "Hello, comrades! Let's cause a bit of mayhem today, shall we?"

This looks neat! Sign me up as Darin, the herald of a god who may- or may not- exist.
