Something happed when I was building my inquisitor. Cyrus became a woman (I like the female art better) and a tiefling. Oh well…

The updated alias (and updated 20 questions) will be in the next post.


Makes sense. Thanks.


GM, I’ve got a couple of questions:
1. How do you want to handle proficiency with a deity’s favored weapon? (I don’t have a weapon in mind)
2. Some traits require worship of a specific deity, are they off the table? (Just looking at options)

Thanks


I leaning towards the Possessed corruption. Cyrus believes it is the spirit of his wife guiding him. I’m not sure right now but it might be something more sinister. To compliment this I’ll probably take the possessed hand line of feats.


This is the alias for smiles-a-lot’s submission. As of now there is nothing in the alias, I’ll be working on the crunch and repost when here when it is done. Below are the answers for the 20 question. Let me know if you would like more information or if I need to make changes to better fit the setting. Thanks.

20 Questions:

1. What is your character’s name? Cyrus Dawnforged

2. How old is your character?  The imposing Inquisitor looks older than his years and carries himself with an air of confidence. While only 28 most would guess he was at least a decade older.

3. What would somebody see at first glance (i.e. height, weight, skin color, eye color, hair color, physique, race, and visible equipment)? 

Cyrus stands a little over 6 feet tall and is thin like most residents of Cinderwake. However, his lanky frame is well muscled, like a greyhound, broad in the shoulders and narrow at the waist and he carries himself with the swagger of a veteran. The inquisitor’s flame colored hair is cut short with a well groomed goatee of the same startling color that frames his harsh face.

The human’s warm complexion has golden under tones which accentuates his smoldering coal black eyes that appear as caring as the pits of hell. While his gloomy, intense, almost sinister face gives him the feral predatory appearance of a fanatic.

Cyrus is often seen wearing a red cloak over a breastplate bearing the mark of the Order of the Last Dawn. While his hands are never far from his weapon (sword?) and shield. There is an engraved ring on his left hand depicting a rising sun.

4. What additional attributes would be noticed upon meeting the character (i.e. Speech, mannerisms)? He speaks with a loud booming voice like stone breaking. His gaze seems to miss little.

5. Where was your character born? Where were you raised? By who? Born and raised in High Ember by his parents, Alyn and Yen but at age 8 he was turned over to the Order of the Last Dawn and trained by the hand of the High Inquisitor.

6. Who are your parents? Are they alive? What do they do for a living?  Cyrus’ parents are both alive the are nobles heavily involved in the bureaucracy, intrigues, and politics of Cinderwake.

7. Do you have any other family or friends? Yes, He has several cousins among the aristocracy of Cinder wake. Since his wife’s death Cyrus has withdrawn a bit and focuses on his duty to the Order of the Last Dawn. (He may consider one of the other PCs as a friend)

8. What is your character’s marital status? Kids? Cyrus is a widower. His wife, Lydia, a paladin of the Order of the Last Dawn, was killed three years ago while dealing with an undead attack within the city walls.

9. What is your character’s alignment? Nuetral

10. What is your character’s moral code?Yes, The ends justify the means. 

11. Does your character have goals? His duty keeps him alive but he secretly yearns to be reunited with his wife.

12. Is your character religious?  Cyrus is a serious and ardent disciple of the Order of the Last Dawn.

13. What are your character’s personal beliefs? The inquisitor’s personal beliefs mostly align with his orders doctrine.

14. Does your character have any personality quirks (i.e. anti-social, arrogant, optimistic, paranoid)? He is shrewd and untrusting as if he weighs each word that is given to him.

15. Why does your character adventure? Cyrus views adventuring as a means of bringing the world one step closer to rekindling the sun.

16. How does your character view his/her role as an adventurer? First and foremost Cyrus views adventuring as a calling. 

17. Does your character have any distinguishing marks (birth-marks, scars, deformities)? Cyrus is what many in Cinderwake call sun-kissed. He has vibrant flame colored hair.

18. How does your character get along with others? He works well with others but views them as tools to be used.

19. Is there anything that your character hates? Undead that have plagued Cinderwake. These abominations killed his wife, Lydia, a paladin of the Order of the Last Dawn. 

20. Is there anything that your character fears? Necromancy and the thought of becoming undead. 


Crunch done. Just have to spend a few more gold. Also, I’m happy to make any changes needed.

Pollyfrequencies do you want to PM TarXT?


I’d like to see this take off. Below are the responses to the questions asked. Posting from my phone so I apologize for their brevity.

Nymblex will be an tiefling alchemist. I will have his crunch done sometime in the next few hours.

7 answers for 7 questions:

Nymblex lay in bed with a haggard prostitute on the second floor of the Pickled Pixie tavern hoping to get a moments rest after their costly, but all too brief, engagement. He had no such luck, the strumpet sat up in the bed and started peppering him with questions.
”What brought you into the profession of monster hunting?
At first it was curiosity, I was interested in the research value and knowledge that could be gained from examining the corpses and habits of such creatures. Then it was commerce, I realized that I could harvest alchemical reagents from the carcasses of these creatures. The value of these components often surpass the rewards offered for slaying it. But in the end I realized, it takes a monster to hunt a monster

What brings you to Ustalav and to Carrion Hill specifically?
I was hoping to avail myself of the vast wealth of knowledge at Lepidstadt University’s Laurelgauge Library. Carrion Hill is just a stop on my way there.

Turns out your employer is the reason the monsters are a problem to start with, chances are they'll be a problem again, what do you do?
Reason with the man if possible, if not, I’ve found that a sword solves most problems.

It's hunting you. If it catches you it will kill you. What is it?
My father, the demon Zxarblixt.

Name a time your character was at their most triumphant up until this point.
Foiling the plans of a witch bent on crafting horrific plagues, infections, and creatures looking to use human bodies as hosts.

You stumble upon a bizarre and ominous looking ritual. You don't know what it's for or who it's dedicated to, but you do see all participants are well armed. What do you do?
Wait and see. It never pays to be too hasty. I like to deal in facts and have learned that appearances can be deceiving.

Without using your name, occupation, or appearance, describe your character.
Curious, analytical, and deadly.


”Now that seems promising,” Fyodor said while looking at the bounties. He looks to his companions and suggests, ”I’d rather try for the goblin. Best we not get involved with a wizard and such.”


Are they talking about me, Fyodor wondered before realizing they must be talking about some other concealed person in the shadows. His suspicions are confirmed when someone subtly points the rogue out. He pulled his frayed cloak tighter around him and followed the others, the is safety in the company of others. He called out, ”Wait for me.”

He enters the Rusty Sword tavern with his new found companions, finds a seat, and introduces himself.


Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

Fyodor makes his way into the area, a little confused he looks around. He moves closer to the fire, rubbing his hands together, to warm himself from his travels.


Fyodor stood by the side of the road and with a sigh lowers the hood of his frayed cloak. He stands there and smiles as he feels the setting sun’s rays caress his face and pauses for a second longer and utters, "That feels good."

The lanky young man turned his head to the side and spit, clearing the dust of the road out of his mouth, and took a drink from his waterskin. He adjusted his pack, make sure his luck acorn is still in his pocket, and began traveling down the road with a smile plastered on his face.

Stepping in dog poop is good luck if you do it with your left foot. It's only bad luck if you step with your right foot.

Owls Are Bad Omens

Gifting yellow flowers that you're cursing the person with infidelity.

Full moons, walking backwards, saying the same word at the same time as someone else.

Don’t wear yellow during a storm

Ward off the evil eye

Don’t sit at a corner table

Right foot first when you enter a room

Carry an acorn for good luck


Hello all. Looking forward to gaming with you all.
