I have the concept already built up and would like to give him another go. Is there still time to put him forth? The backstory is still the same I just need to adjust the mechanics.

Still plenty if time to put him forth just follow the guidelines for stats and background ends you're all set for full commission

Okay, here is what the character looked like before. He was a fun run but clearly he needs some adjusting. I'll get him polished up tonight but I plan on using the same backstory. So if you see anything that needs to be change let me know. I too will go over my backstory and adjust to your specifications.

The only parts you need to really change are his stats class and alignment. Also its not as required but it'd be nice and closer to the short line if your last name was Aeducan

I would have to make a new Alias to change his name, was hoping I could simply use one I already had but I'm willing to abide. I will have the new Alias and adjustments up tomorrow.

I am still here. Just chillin and being patient. Easy to be patient when I have finals to keep me busy......and Skyrim

Dargail snorts. "Bah! I been bumpin inta wild mages all the live long day. I just come ta except it fer now. I will be watchin an ready though so don't get too cozy. Jest at da moment we got dem darkspawn ta worry about an yer da only greywarden about. So were allies. Welcome aboard. Honestly I don't feel da need to worry bout you anyways. Dem wardens usually have decent enough judgement ta trust so we'll head back to da alter afta some prep. Will that do?"

Dargail stares at the mother. "We discover an evil darkspawn alter and a warden happens to show up lookin fer evil? Coincidence? I tink not."

Dargail makes his way over to the warden. "Scuse me madam. I understand you are a grey warden in search of darkspawn evil. I will start with an introduction. My name is knight lieutenant Dargail Bogan. I wer out investigat'n a darkspwan treat wen I happ'n upon some kinda evil darkspawn alter. Bein ill equipped ta handle such a think. I an da folks I wer travelin wit left it. Since the good chanry mother doesn't seem ta recognize the severity of this treat, I will take matters in ta my own hands an ask yer assistance in dealin wit dis problem. Can I count on yer aid in dis endeavor?"

"zzzzzzz *Pop* Huh...wha...who...where? Oh. I must of dozed off. Egad what is that annoying ringing. Beh lets get out of here."

When we arrive at the chantry, I address the mother. "Your reverence. Me and some comrades came across an evil darkspwan alter in the woods not farm from the farmer who posted the request on the chanter's board. This thing must be destroyed. I regret to say that I myself may not be strong enough. Others of the order may have greater prowess to deal with this thing. I say at least it must not be left alone. It is a danger to all in this area and should be dealt with in the utmost urgency." I say this in the most dignified tone I can muster. I wait for her response.

"All this being depressed is making me sleepy. Wake me when the world end so I can welcome my fate with open arms." Dargail begins to nap.

Dargail sits there all depressed like. "Whats the use? Its not like getting paid will make my failure to the Maker go away. I let myself be defeated in there an now look at me. Imma dwarf in the Templars. I'm a joke that isn't meant ta be here. Woe is me!"

Dargail is alarmed by this sudden urge and puts his arms out indicating that others should back away. "Back! This.....Thing whatever it is, is no good and seems to be tugging at our urge to kill. I say if we can't move on in these caves, we should clear out." He looks down the tunnel for any indication as to how much further it goes.

Wish I could destroy the alter but that's a job for a hammer which I have none. Maraas maybe?

Right, Herolab is the character sheet I've been using and it doesn't have some of those changes. I am updating my profile so I won't forget again. A new way of playing is a tad hard to get used to. I apologize for any inconvenience on your end.

I don't have Detect magic. Also, I have a few traits I forgot to ask you about. I don't think orcs and goblins exist in Ferelden. Can my Hatred bonus be against darkspawn and my AC bonus from defensive training work against ogres?

Dargail approaches the alter examining it for any signs of evil. Interesting construction. Wonder what they were using it for? Hope this thing isn't an attempt to start another blight.....so soon after the recent one we've had. That would be bad." <--Understatement

Dargail's eyes open suddenly and sits up looking around. "Wha...Way....Where? Ah sodding ancestors! I went an got canned by em blighted darkspawn. Ah well at least I took of em wit me. Help me up." Once to his feat Dargail will inspect his wounds. "Still got some damage. Only hope der be no taint er its warden huntin fer me next task." Dargail looks around at the carnage. He then looks at Maraas and holds up two fingers. "Two. An one of em was a boss. Though I think it be only fair I knock da score down by one seein as how day one uped me. Oh well. Gotta work on ma swing a bit. Didn't fight to many darkspawn in ma life. Gotta get used to da feel of it so I don't go down so easy." He looks at the elves. "So what do we have? Know anythin about dis place?"

"*Burp!* Still unconscious. At -1 hitpoint right now.

I'd love too but I'm kinda well....mostly dead. Hehe I'm bad today.

*twitch*.....*twitch*

ROTFL

"You Mock my pain!"

*gurgle*

Dargail is heaving under the pain of his injury. Regardless he readies himself to try again. He aims to put down the wounded one if he can help it. He attacks with a mighty swing:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19 For:1d10 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

hehe oops. I see it, it was an ooc. Probably why I missed it. I usually only read oocs when I am the DM cause you can roleplay those kind of questions. My bad. I am standing at 2hp now.

Dargail recoils in pain as the darkspawn finds its mark. He roars and attacks 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10 For:1d10 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Your call...

I think you should have been healed...what were you at?

I'd like to have been healed but that is up to the healer in our group weather or not I have been healed.

Uh did Dargail Receive any additional healing after the first fight? If not then I believe I am at a negative 4

Just a reminder, Dargail's initiative is a 20

Dargail roars at the Hurlock leader and swings again....none too gently either.

Power Attack:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20 For:1d10 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Okies.

Dargail points out the Genlock before moving to charge (Not sure if I can charge in the surprise round but you said I could charge so I'm gonna)

Initiative:1d20 ⇒ 20

Dargail charge the biggest Hurlock if possible otherwise he charges the nearest.

Attack (Pwr Atk added)1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22 For:1d10 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

HOLY! Dargail is fired up it seems

Dargail turns to the group and whispers as best he can. "Two big ones and one slightly bigger, must be da boss of these blighters." Dargail focuses and looks around to try and get a bigger picture before deciding what to do.

Perception:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

I am a disgrace to dwarves for not having any knowledge dungeonneering. Paladin only comes with so many skill points.

"Hah, Managed to get another kill but sodding ancestors those arrows hurt. I'm not tainted am I?" Dargail looks himself over. "Meh, I think the beast are hiding in the cave. I took a nasty hit so I'd like someone beside me for support and to locate traps. We move slow and steady okay. Let's go." Dargail will wait for someone to join him and head into the cave at a slow causious pace. He has darkvision so he will keep his eyes peeled as long as nobody strikes up a light. Shouldn't need to considering were all non humans lol

Perception=1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

Dargail is now annoyed that someone just took his kill. He turns to the fresh foe and puts a little umph into his swing Power Attack
Dargail/w AXE +5
Pwr Atk -1
Flank +2
Total bonus +6
Attack:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18 For:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Round 2 Action

As Aloris begins to heal Dargail and he regains consciousness, he quickly pulls out the arrows before Aloris finishes. "Blighted darkspawn. Cowards! Why don't ye little runts come an face me face ta axe like good little minions of evil!?" Dargail looks around and then at Aloris. "Aye, guess I owe ya one Dale boy. I take back half the things I said about ye earlier. Now, let's get to this fight." Dargail evaluates the distance. Seeing Maraas charge ahead and destroying the barricade Dargail smiles. "Well now there's only one way ta do dis now. CHARGE!!!" Dargail goes charging up to the darkspawn. Not sure if the distance is to great for a charge but that is what he will do/

Dargail attacks one darkspawn if able. 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19 For:1d10 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Dargail cries out as he goes down.
Dargail is at -3 rolling to stabilize:1d20 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (13) + 1 - 3 = 11

Dargail stabilizes

Miserable d20 system and being a sucky lvl 1 character. Grrrr.

Dargail takes point. "Beh! Stinking mages think they can talk big cause ye gots a lot of magic. Well keep talking. Best ta let da scores speak fer themselves. I'll lead this show then." Dargail will lead the group down the path.

Perception:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

Initiative:1d20 + 0 ⇒ (16) + 0 = 16

Dargail takes a sigh of relief. "Thank the Maker. It is going to take me a while before I can accept that someone so small and not clad in 5 tons of armor can still be so capable. My apologies for worrying. Now let us get after these wretches. Big guy, you better hope there are a lot of them because if there aren't you won't get any kills." With that Dargail draws his weapon and move quickly after Maraas

Dargail paces back and forth continuously. He keeps mutter. "She's taking too long. Something must of gone wrong. Is she alright? Should I go in after her or is she just taking her time. I hope nothings happened. I would hate to lose a companion so soon. Hell I'd hate to lose one ever. Oh where is she? Dargail continues to stress as he waits for Kalyn's return.

Dargail joins the group thinking to himself trying to remember what he could about darkspawn. Thing was, he never actually had to fight them. His time was spent monitoring the provings as opposed to venturing into the deep roads.

When Kalyn decides to go scout a head of the group Dargail nods. "Just be careful. I trust yer skills.....just be careful." Dargail's expression and monotone voice seems to have a ever so slight edge of worry or concern to them.

Dargail examines the man. Sense Motive:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

Dargail approaches and waves to the man. "Greetings an well met good soldier. Yer daughter is fine. She ired us te take care of yer darkspawn problem. Lucky ya ta have such able body men and uh woman at yer service. This big fella here is Maraas, a very practical fella. Then this young lady is Kalyn, don't turn yer back on her. The sophisticated elf boy dressed as a mage is Aldo, nice attitude on dat one. The other Dalish here is Aloris, not sure where he came from or where exactly his allegiances lie but for now I'm not worried. And I am Knight Lieutenant Dargail Bogan of the Templar. Now down te brass tacks. Where ya seen these darkspawn yer daughter mentioned?"

Dargail lets out a sigh. "Guess de majority wants da farm. Makes sense as thats suppose to be where we'd start our investigation anyways." Dargail looks to Aloris. "We been asked by de Chantry to investigate mysterious attacks on a farm just outside of Ostagar. So far there is strong evidence pointing at darkspawn as de culprit. We have a witness, arrows, and now dis ambush, so at dis point I'm almost convinced. Though in my long career of weeding out truths, I never stop considering other possibilities no matter how far out or unlikely dey may seem. Dis mindset comes with years of investigating. I have seen a lot. Now if you want to make some money or simply want something ta do, feel free ta join us. Just so you know, you gotta work for yer own kills. No freebies."

Dargail sets up at the head of the group. "Okay, to da far we go." Dargail will lead the group to the far.

I have an important question concerning currency. In Dragon Age the gold coin, called a sovereign, is highly valued and can be used to purchase a ton of goods. It is equal to 100sp I believe and 100cp = 1sp. That said, we have a lot of sovereigns so that would in theory make us quite wealthy. Or are you using the traditional currency system for Pathfinder's Golorion? I ask because the answer will effect how I look at values, prices, or even roleplaying worth of the currency. Dragon Age and Pathfinder have two completely different values when it comes to currecy. So which one are we using and how do we incorporate it into roleplay?

"I still think we should head after the one that fled." Dargail looks at Aloris. "Okay buddy, for now I'm not goin to turn ya in. Just so long as you don't give me a good reason to. If you so much as cut yerself intentionally fer any reason, or I hear another voice come out of your mouth, then I'mma gonna jump ya. Ya hear me boy?" Dargail looks at everyone. "Okay, We got one vote for the farm and one ta go afta the little beast that ran off. Any other votes?"

Found out what the Dalish call the Fade. They call it "The Beyond". Had an elf in the video game explain it to me.

Thought Dalish called the fade by a different name? Oh well.

Dargail's brow narrows. "I am Knight Lieutenant Dargail Bogan. One of the few, and I mean real few, proud dwarves of the Chantry Templar. And ye ma good elf are an apostate. An one of em tribe elves too. Where's yer clan huh? Ya know I have half a mind ta turn ya in. But given the circumstances I ain't. Bein detached from da fade has been one of ma greatest assets in ma line of work so don't think for a second dat yer words offend me. Now, mage, if you'll excues us we have some darkspawn ta hunt. I'll save huntin ye fer later." Dargail turns from the Dalish to the others. "Now. The little fella dun ran dat way. We could go afta him, which would be my vote. If dere are others, I'm sure he'd lead us right to em. Otherwise we continue onto da farm. Or…" Dargail looks back at the Dalish. "We could simply apprehend this wild mage an turn im over to da Chantry. Make some good coin dat way I wager. Though I'm more interested in da darkspawn at the moment."

"Good fight dwarf. My, my" says Maraas at the new comer. "You Fereldens do have many sarabaas."

Dargail nods at Maraas's statment. "Yeah your telling me. They're like cockroaches. Seems like my work is never done.

Dargail looks at the bodies and then at Maraas. "Well by the stone it seems we tied big guy." Dargail looks at the new elf. With his usual expression he appraoches the elf. "So elf mage, whats yer name and how many minds are in that head?"

Dargail moves to attack the next Genlock. Power attack:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16 For:1d10 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

[Ooc]Competely forgot to make my initiative check. I will make it unless the DM already has./ooc]

Initiative:1d20 ⇒ 17

Dargail moves quickly and is able to keep up with the hulking Qunari though he is unaware of Kalyn's location at the moment. As soon as he sees one of the the little monsters he roars! "Aaar!!" He swings hard sacrificing aim for more power. Hopefully his barreling charge makes up for the loss of accuracy.
Attack(Charge):1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18 For:1d10 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11 (Power attack used)

Dargail pulls out his Axe amd Shield and chuckles. "Your on big fella. Gotta warn ye. We dwarves are natural sprinters. Very dangerous over short distances."
With that Dargail sprints to keep up with Maraas.

Dargail had headed out to the farm already. DM and I presume you are all with me.

At, Kalyn's mention of scouting Dargail Nods. Go ahead. The rest of us will head to the farmstead when you return."

"Onward then!" Dargail announces in a booming voice. "To the farm and let us solve this little dilemma." Dargail makes for the farm but makes sure to wait for the others before heading any further.

I hear its some kind of bond like the sword is suppose to be apart of them or somethin. All that matters is that it ended well. Now we should set about finding the girls father. Come lets get to the bottom of these cow killins."

Dargail will make his way back to the girl and ask her sweet and simply and in the same stern gruff tone he always has, "I'd like to speak with yer father little missy. Where does he live?" He tries to smile but it comes off more as an evil grin.

Dargail gives his famous inquisitive stare. "What are you hiding man?"

Sense Motive:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

"I believe I saw saw some form of weapons dealer in the markets. Let us ask for his expert opinion on the weapon." Dargail will look to Maraas and Aldo. "Your welcome to come along if ya wish but I'll have no complainin from either of you." With that Dargail will head to the markets.

Dargail takes the liberty of showing the arrows to the weapons dealer. "Greetings chum. I was wonderin what ye could tell us about these arrows? If ya know what they are that is."

Dargail strokes his beard. "Indeed you are right my very blunt friend. However, impatient fools who barrel in head first without knowing tue threat usually end up dead a lot sooner. If we are dealing with tainted darkspawn, I want to be prepared. If it is only thugs then we are dealing with something "possibly" more intelligent and organized than simple darkspawn. Battles often favor the well prepared my friend. Our friend the hero of Ferelden had to have done some sort of extravagant preparation to deliver Denarim from the archdemons clutches don't you think?"

Dargail simply listens to the conversation. He was never very good with kids. He was always making circle mage children cry for no other reason than he simply looked mean and scary.

When Kalyn finished and converses with them Dargail shrugs. "Possible it isn't darkspawn you know. Did she say she actually saw it? Can she confirm beyond the shadow of a doubt that it was a darkspawn? Does the family have any rivals? Maybe should talk to the father once we're done here."
