That's a shame. I was really looking foward to this.

No problem, boss. Real life happens. Just let us know if you are busy, so we don't worry for nothing! :)
I like to think that Dan's "dagger" is a letter opener. :)
Hmm... Just making sure... Is it safe to assume us adepts can start with an (un)holy symbol? Danbaris would just have a sharp, polished black rock with a hole through it hanging from his neck on a string (equivalent of a wooden unholy symbol, I think). Shouldn't be too suspicious, and it's essentially worthless. What about a spell component pouch? It's basically just a belt pouch, containing miscellaneous trash like bits of wool, lumps of wax, dead fireflies, etc. I suppose it could be suspicious (and as a result something we might want to keep hidden), assuming there is someone amongst the slavers who knows how magic works. More expensive material components could be a problem, though... Luckily, those won't be a problem for a while. I hope.
Miss Dillia or simply "Gran" is the midwife, wise woman, and general physician for the halfling house. Another adept? Curses! Here I thought Danbaris would be the only one to tend to the party's spiritual needs! Perhaps this is for the best... ;) Mydeo, if you haven't read already, is fairly new to the winery. He was originally hired as an entertainer. However, he was not really interacting with the world at that point and, after a few severe lashings (and possibly a suggestion from a personal assistant,) was moved to the fields. Assuming you are talking about this personal assistant, definitely possible. Danbaris had a brother who died the same way. As mean as he can be, he has no desire to see anyone share his brother's fate.
We're just getting to know each other, boss. I assume our characters know something about each other, right? :) I'm new to PbP as well, though I've read multiple in preparation for an Curse of the Crimson Throne game (including yours, Misty/Dragoncat, I like your style!), so I have a pretty good idea about what I am doing. I'm running said campaign in Roll20 too, so I'm familiar with the mechanics of that site as well.
We just have to be alert to any halfling slaves who might squeal if they find out what we're planning! Danbaris is suspicious of everyone and everything, oblivious to the irony that he is perhaps the least trustworthy person around... He has some rudimentary knowledge of alchemy as well. Maybe he can be convinced to aid, if its not too risky to be found in the kitchen at the time. "Procuring," though. That's dangerous. Perhaps it's better that you handle that part. Unless the humans happen to leave it laying around, and there is someone else to blame for the deed... :)
Hello all! As you might gather by taking a glance at his profile, Danbaris is not a very likable fellow. He is probably known amongst the other halflings as a coward and a sycophant. Both are true, more or less, but his main motivation has always been to worm his way into the master's good graces, to better wreak his vengeance upon the slavers. I imagine his role as a "personal assistant" (whatever that means, exactly) would allow him access to some places the others would not be allowed to be in. His worship of Norgorber and Thamir Gixx would probably be something of an open secret among the slaves, but I guess the reactions to that would vary. Seemingly religion is something Miro and Danbaris share in common, along with being house servants. Maybe they get along a bit better than most. For all his faults, Danbaris is ultimately loyal to his people, and his cowardice reins in his darker impulses. Him being evil simply means that he has very little in the way of conscience, so nothing is really holding him back from committing all kinds of terrible things, were he not absolutely, and obsessively afraid of the consequences. He'll play nice. :)
Thanks for giving me a chance, Jib! I look foward to playing with all of you.
If this is just about the alignment, I can definitely adjust, as I said above. NE just seemed fitting for a manipulative coward.
Anything in particular that's amiss about my application? I understand if this is due to my inexperience as a PbP-player, but it would be nice to know if I'm actually doing something wrong.
I was considering making Dan here a rogue or a slayer, but seeing as Mr. Ostwig is going the slayin' route, he might go with either cleric or inquisitor instead. Fits the character far better anyway.
Well, here is my actual application. Still needs some minor tweaking, but all the essentials should be in the profile. I can make him more of a healer, if that is needed. If he is too much of a jerk, I can adjust. I have no intention of being disruptive. "Tall Dan" will come through for the group in the end, even if he complains all the way. ;) |
