Vasek starts to raise his hand to volunteer to go, then reflects upon his day so far and decides to stare off into the woods somewhere. The doctor chuckles. "Vasek my friend, I think your particular brand of diplomacy will not be needed this time." "Ladies, I would love to have you join me."
"I do." the doctor nodded. Noting Tiador's interest he gestured to her. "Would you like to join us?" "Anyone else?" he rasped, looking around the small group.
The doctor chuckled to himself. This was turning out to be a very entertaining day. "Dragon, you seem to be making friends everywhere you turn. I am impressed."
The doctor put his hand on his masked face. This was not a good start, but somehow it seemed like a fitting one.
"What is it that we will be getting out of this bargain, griffon? What are you offering in return?" the Doctor asked.
Doctor Roc was glad for his mask hiding the amused, but slightly pained expression on his face. He looked up, casting a quiet prayer to his divine ancestors. Very funny.
"I'm feeling like there's a trick here." the Doctor rumbled I his throaty rasp. "An illusion? Seems too strange to be real."
"He said shoot it if it attacks." Doctor Rok said, fretting slightly as he watched the dragon-man go face the gryphon. Something about this didn't seem right though. "Bard, have you ever heard of talking gryphons?"
"A defensive perimeter is a good idea." the doctor rasped. "Circle the wagons. Keep everyone close. Spears up. Ready a volley. I do not think it is coming for a fight, but if it is it will find one."
I am on vacation until friday. My posting time will be limited. Bot me as needed.
Yeah I'm not sure how much sense that being a determinant really is. Just because someone plays a specific class or race doesn't mean they want or are suited to the party leader role. That coming about organically makes a lot more sense to me but I guess we'll see. I think it's intended to simulate how leadership roles were created in early medieval europe. It wasn't a meritocracy. The setting is clearly a caste-based society, so it makes sense that the person from the highest caste would be the one outsiders defer to. Within the party, the actual leader will come about through gameplay (and may change based on what the party is doing), but as far as the NPCs are concerned, they're going to look to the person highest on the social pecking order.
I did not expect that, but alright.
Nice. I am a doctor after all.
"Apparently your fame precedes you?" the masked doctor chuckled. It sounded like an amused cough.
"The Undying. Hmm. Interesting," the doctor rumbled behind his mask. "What else have you heard, minstril?"
"I am Rok Daudagr." the masked man said. "Doctor, by trade, though I assume you had guessed that." He was covered from head to toe in a long hooded coat, gloves and a plague mask, making it impossible to tell the manor of person beneath. He was just under six feet tall and had a voice that sounded scratchy and surprisingly deep. His diction was precise and a bit clipped. He leaned on a hooked spear and watched the bard from behind the smoked goggles of his mask. "I traveled here from the northlands, but I tend to go where my trade is needed."
What languages are most relevant to the area?
Ok, all ready to go.
I'm pretty much finished. Just need to do equipment and an audit to make sure I have everything added up right.
Going with an Agathoin Aasamar, since they are the animalistic ones. They gain Summon Monster 2 as their spell-like ability. Would you allow me to add Bloody Human Skeleton from the Variant Summons list to that ability? That seems like a good way of tiding me over in the undead minions department.
Posting my character alias. Full mechanics pending. The picture isn't perfect, but it's the closest thing I can find to a cool looking plague doctor. |
