Hmmm...rogue, wizard, ranger...
I'm leaning toward a wildborne elven sage druid of renewal
Though, if everyone else is going anthropomorphic, I might shift to galapa.

If you end up with an opening, I'd be interested in trying.
Thanks. That sounds like you.
Hey Aeshuura, it's good to see you still around these forums. Does that game you were talking about still have an opening?
I'll start statting him up. Thanks for the warm welcome.
How does a Goliath Druid sound to folks?
I might throw my hat in here. It has been a while since I've played 5e. I'll start pondering some character ideas. If you'll have me again.
Eerie claps his hands together excitedly, "Yay! More fun!" Eerie's eyes lock onto the closest of the thugs and he grins with his head tilting at an odd angle.
Thug:
The thug begins hearing whispers in their mind. At first the whispers sound far away, but they quickly begin to sound closer. The whispers sound as if they are trying to tell something very important, as if they hunger for something. Power...Strength...All are enemies...All want to kill you...Especially the one next to you...He wants everything that you have...He will kill you if you don't kill him first...! Crown of Madness: Casting Time: 1 action Range: 120 ft. Target: 1 target Components: V, S Duration: Up to 1 minute Saving Throw: Wisdom Negates Concentration: Yes One humanoid of your choice that you can see within range must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or become charmed by you for the duration. While the target is charmed in this way, a twisted crown of jagged iron appears on its head, and a madness glows in its eyes. The charmed target must use its action before moving on each of its turns to make a melee attack against a creature other than itself that you mentally choose.
Eerie giddily walks up to see the second floor as well.
Eerie giggles as he looks back to the thug.
Eerie sees this scene, giggles and claps in glee.
Eerie, with his creepy smile, strolls into the manor past the thug.
Eerie gets hit by the bolt but does not flinch. He looks down slowly at the bolt with his creepy smile and head tilt, at the same time a distortion or light seems to fly at the thug that fired the bolt.
Eerie claps his hands together excitedly, "This will be much fun!" Eerie's eyes lock onto the closest of the thugs and he grins with his head tilting at an odd angle.

Eerie sees the guards coming with unbridled excitement as he also begins walking toward them.
Eerie seems to be picked up from a unseen force as his creepy, smiley gaze locks on the groundskeeper. After being righted, he begins slowly walking toward the human, maintaining his gaze and mouthing something. On the way, Eerie gives a dismissive shoo motion at the nearest dog.
Meanwhile with the groundskeeper...: The groundskeeper begins hearing whispers in their mind. At first the whispers sound far away, but they quickly begin to sound closer. And then far away. And then closer. Then, an eruption of whispers from all directions and distances. The whispers sound as if they are trying to tell something very important. Danger? Riches? Secrets?...Terror?
Eerie begins walking toward the groundskeeper. On the way he slowly looks back to Snow with wide, excited eyes and a very big grin.
Eerie walks up behind the groundskeeper and just stands there, about 20 feet away, with his head cocked awkwardly to one side. His overly large cloak drapes over him such that his hood covers all but his awkwardly wide grin. His skin, pale as if attached to a corpse. groundskeeper: The groundskeeper begins hearing whispers in their mind. At first the whispers sound far away, but they quickly begin to sound closer.

By arrival, Eerie is a bit downtrodden, but he seems to perk up at the sight of the dogs.
Seeing Aukan's smile, Eerie giggles and claps his hands with glee.
"Ooohh...that is so gracious of you.." Eerie says creepily. It is a bit hard to tell if he is being sarcastic or not, but with the group's time spent with Eerie, you are pretty confident he is being sincere.
Eerie giggles and nods as he follows.
Eerie looks extremely disappointed as he hangs his head. "..oh.."
"Ooh, Trollskull alley.."
Eerie giggles once more for a few seconds.
I honestly didn't have any particular plans. I just had the construction idea that he'd be creepy and that his interactions with his party would tone it down a bit. Everything else has been pretty on-the-spot or close to it. I realized pretty early on that based on the facts I decided about Eerie it meant that he had to have just been a loner and alone (which Hermit really exemplifies). And that he'd be pretty oblivious about social anything. I've been having an absolute blast playing Eerie, delving into non-evil crazy. On a different note, yes Eerie puppeted corpses but he never straight up murdered anything because it might be an enemy. I tried to point this out in-game through Eerie, but I think it was lost in the giggling puppets. Eerie might be crazy, but our barbarian is neutral with some evil tendencies.
"Yeees, I fine," Eerie replies as Sliver can hear insane giggles in his head for a few moments.
Eerie doesn't seem to react to any external stimuli. After several moments of being in a ball, he unfurls. He carefully rises to his feet with his head hung, his large hood covering his face to all but the ground. After standing, his body begins shaking rhythmically. As it does he raises his head to view all other around him. An exceptionally wide and creepy smile permeates his face, seeming to reaffirm some creases in his skin at the appropriate places. He views everyone with a silent, creepy chuckle. "Eeet no problem. I am back to fine. My lord has found me once more," he says in a hesitant and strained voice.
Not quite where I was going with it. I wonder if I'll end up retiring Eerie for some reason or another.
Eerie curls into a ball of cloak/robes.
Eerie suddenly collapses, sobbing quietly while holding his head, "I sorry..I sorry..I sorry..I do as you ask just please...please..."
When May touches Eerie's back, he tries to flick away, but he does not do it quick enough. For the one second that they are in contact Mayberry hears the most horrifying and loudest screams, yells and other sounds she (probably) has ever heard. It makes the sounds she has heard previously from Eerie pale in comparison. "Not her. Not her. Not her..." Eerie repeats as he disconnects from May and begins shaking his head in rhythm with his words.
Eerie does not respond. He just continues his semi-stumbling.
Eerie stumbles along with his head held, though he does look to be faring better than before.
Eerie staggers along while holding his head. Once arriving at the shop, he leans in the door frame as the others enter.
Eerie rocks quietly muttering in a corner.
Upon exiting to the street Eerie doubles over for several minutes clutching his head and rocking. He does not respond to any questions. Should Eerie be touched, the toucher, upon contact, instantly hears 'deafening' verbal noise while contact is maintained. After the several moments, Eerie staggers to his feet and continues following Sliver. This following consists of Eerie shuffling brusquely while clutching his head and whispering quietly to himself.
Eerie bolts upright and, looking terrified, sets his now tearing eyes on Sliver. "We must go now..." he whispers.
Eerie lowers himself slowly onto the ground and curls up into a ball. He seems completely at peace. A peace he has never known. His face, which is normally strained in some way or another, is completely relaxed.
Eerie has a very concerned look on his face but he nods his head vigorously. |
