Dravvorn sees what is about to occur and decides that since he must live with constantly being called hellspawn and so forth that he has the right to use his reputation to his advantage... Dravvorn steps forward with the energies of the Abyss shrouding his form in a red haze of utter chaos and evil, he speaks in a voice that sounds as graceful as that of a great elf noble of old...yet anyone can detect the demonic menace that lurks deep within. You would do well to bow before your superiors... Those of fey'ri lineage are given strength by the Abyss itself, before us you and everything you stand for are nothing but dust on the winds of history... intimidate1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19 gm, what vitals are missing to be precise? (other then the blast trait which I will add next level for the sake of fairness since I forgot to include it in the sheet)

Caution I take, I do not allow it to reach the point of indecision however... Nothing in this life is gained without paying a price or taking a risk, as for the Abyss apart from the Glazebru and Succubi and a few demon lords of note cunning is in short supply. If you desire to see the planar denizens that truly give new meaning to the term "cunning" ye need only seek the devils of the Nine...

Studying the cleric warily Dravorn speaks...Might as well get it over with, he'll eventually figure it out anyway... Let's just put it this way Master Adotlin, a sorcerer gets his magic one way or another through the weave even if his origins are those of outsider blood. My power is derived from an entirely different source, my magic simply doesn't play by the rules of wizards and sorcerers... Appropriate considering that it stems from the Abyss itself, I am one who you would know as a warlock.

My magic is infinite in supply if limited in application, wasting your valuable magic upon simple heat spells is not a wise idea... If we can find a source of water in these lands and a few barrels we may be able to simply rely on water to stand the heat... I shall take first watch, then Karv, Aeron would logically be next and then you priest.

The so called "pure blood" kindreds of Elven kind are not prone to telling races they see as inferiors about their secret shame. The Crown Wars were the bloodiest conflicts in all of Faerun, war was waged on a scale that would make even Tempus proud to be the god of war. Yet it was also the time that broke Elven power in all of mainland Faerun, now the elves hide in their so called "sanctuary" of Evermeet. They hunger for the glories of old but they will never receive them, they simply don't have the determination necessary to assert their power back into Faerun. They have become placid, weak and unworthy of the glory their ancestors once possessed...

to Aeron, the battle platforms of old were a weapon of war used by many elven factions in the crown wars. It is probable that the ones that would have been operating in the deserts of Faerun would have possessed some sort of shade as you mention. However their purpose was not protection, they offered a group of archers or mages the ability to rain death from above with almost absolute impunity unless powerful magic was being used against the platforms. It is said that one could travel a hundred miles per day in one of the battle platforms of the old Crown Wars.

Dravvorn puts his hand to his face and sighs as he hears Karv sing... It depends, if these horses can make about twenty five to thirty miles a day it shouldn't take long... Oh for the days when Fey'ri rode to war in the ancient battle platforms...

For the sake of it, if the situation is something akin to what I have suggested perhaps you can devise a form of magical communication so that once we are on the ground we can report to you. As for the favor I require I need access to old elven history and one can guess how well elves react to humans wanting to know their shameful history... Care to take a guess at how badly they would react to me? At any rate what I truly need is a professional researcher who can do the research for me, this era of history would be the Crown Wars of old. While you may not have contacts with any churches I'll bet you have many researchers at your disposal, what gnome does not crave knowledge of any description?

Abyssal:
Contracts...does this idiot think that we are devil mercenaries from the Blood War... If you want a contract double the payment, a being such as myself has a natural distaste for such things. In addition if you want a contract you must provide provision for "hazard" pay, if for instance your alchemist got kidnapped by say the priesthood of Shar we would need additional gold to make it worth our effort... diplomacy1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13

Dravvorn looks the gnome over and speaks as he hears the offer... His voice is angry, not in the way of a hot, blistering buffoon but in the way of a general eyeing an officer who just got a quarter of the army killed... Your price might be good for a common sellsword but yet note that I and my friend here are not common sellswords. My power is given to me by the Abyss, through my sword the might of demons is channeled. I am an heir of a bloodline that has survived thousands upon thousands of years... However I am not inclined to just gold for my services, there are various favors that a gnome in your position can offer. Things like ancient, privately held libraries run by self righteous holy orders that contain knowledge I require. note to gm if you want to give a sub plot to balance out a rough spot or to say fill some downtime as the game progresses I can give you one if you so desire.

Abyssal: Neither do I want a fight, not without my sword and armor at hand... Yet this world is innately hostile to us, trust should be extended only when one is certain beyond a doubt that the one extending it plans no harm for you. If one of your former kinsmen came up to you and offered you a glass of wine would you drink it? |
