Falling onto the dead bodies in the chute, Eldako climbs down and makes his way towards the dead man and doppleganger. Looking at the Half-elf Eldako says, "Do you think they ALL change after death I mean, could we just bring them three dead bodies and say that they're Dopplegangers? I not, I mean....., that I'm planning anything, but if we happen to find people, right? " Eldako stammers through his thought not used to having someone to talk to.
"O.k. Lets go, I'll lead" for the fourth time today Eldako finds his way down the chute. Like a familiar friend Eldako is begging to remember where all the handholds are, Almost like its calling to him. When he loses his grip on the rope it didn't seem to trouble him at all, amazed he continues on his way.
I’ll be posting tonight I’m still here I got sucked in to magic arena the last few days until my wife talked to me about it .
Taking no offense to the the captain ‘s comment Eldako remains where he is , when the captain reveals himself to be a cleric inwardly Eldako feels justified by his first impression of the man. does every fool place trust in the gods? , when he mentions the bodies Eldako can’t help but groan , really the shaft again? . Listening to the others , “I’ll go back and get the bodies I’m probably the only one that can get them up anyways. Of course we could just avoid these people , after all they have already started to panic how soon before they turn on us? Even if they let us in. “
Immediately Eldako regrets not taking more time with checking the room. He tries to stay out of direct light partially to hide his appearance and also to not hurt his sensitive eyes. Dropping his club, "Let me guess, you think were Doppelgangers right? We killed one in the other room. It was attacking a prisoner, but unfortunately he didn't make it. As you can see we are no threat; we barely even have the clothes on our backs."
Eldako quickly opens the door and looks inside, his darkvision looking around, he turns his head to motion to everyone, "Quickly!"
Eldako heads towards the Door as quietly as he can, and trying to be as stealthful as possible. As he listens to the ramblings of the half-elf he couldn't help but scoff, Only those of weak wills worship the gods... His bare feet squish in the mud as he crosses the small courtyard.
Once everyone is up, Eldako opens the door slowly and goes out into the hallway. "it sounds like its raining..." he says to the others.
While waiting on the others, Eldako quickly moves towards the door and tries to listen for voices or any other sounds.
sighing from having to go back up the chute for a third time. Eldako is just happy that at least he isnt alone in this hellish place.
"Ok, just one second." Eldako looks around the room just to make sure his presence wasn't found out. his darkvision seeing all the darknend corners of the room. Once he finds out no one is watching and its safe, he heads back down the chute.
"Well, there seems to be easy handholds in this chute with a hatch at the top I'm going to try to go open it." with that Eldako grabs up and starts climbing his way up the chute.
Eldako tries to lift the hatch at the top of the chute once he gets there.
Following the others in the room Eldako does not flinch at the smell, I remember living in sewers that were worse off than this when I was a child. What? where that come from? , he stops in his tracks when he realized what he was thinking. Walking into the room Eldako tries to see up the shoot; not caring if there is anything on the bodies. When the half-elf mutters his prayers, eldako barely holds back a scoff. " I think I can check up the shaft faster than anyone else. If the rest of you want to check the bodies for anything, at least we will know how difficult the climb will be when I get back. Unless anyone has any better ideas?"
when the Cleric casts a spell of light Eldako gives a slight hiss as pain shoots through his eyes. When he sees the instrument Eldako carefully lifts up the piece. "I wonder if this belonged to him." he nods to the victim on the table. Packing away the instrument carefully. No need to do any more damage to it.. he waits till its secure. when the others mention opening up the door Eldako prepares to either fight or flee; also grabbing the makeshift weapon just in case.
"oh, Is this yours, but, but... your just a child." Eldako stammers a response, "Truly you shouldn't play with these kind of tools they are dangerous." Eldako holds the dagger up. "are you sure, little one? Once the halfing takes the dagger (if she doesnt take it i'll stay close to help for awhile to "protect her"), assuming she does, Eldako looks around the room for any kind of weapon that is not claimed. In addtion he checks the darkened corners and the Gory clothes to see if there is anything, including the "doctors" body.
The funny part is I made Eldako to be a strong fighter type, but after I started RPing him I just didn't see him doing that sort of stuff. (Running into battle and hand to hand combat.) Its very good that Zylah has the shade. :P By the way Was our roll for the equipment that we started off doing what we found in the pile, or is everything in the pile?
Now that the battle is over, Eldako puts away a dagger he found in the pile. "No, I don't know any of you." Eldako says as he slowly slides forward. " I think I found some equipment, though. Motioning towards the darkness. As he heads back to the equipment he looks for anything he would recognize, and doesn't bother looking to see if anyone follows him there.
Eldako Shouts at the others "There is some equipment over here!" Grabbing two of nearest weapons in the pile. Eldako turns and tosses one to the half-elf because both in the dream and this fight he seems to be the most proficient "Here!". Move action to search and standard to throw one of them towards the Elf.
"Blast it!" Eldako shouts in frustration at his group. when he sees they are not leaving.
Eldako opens the door when the half-Elf unlocks it, Nodding at the girl and the others, " We Should run! We don't have any weapons!" Eldako takes a half step way motioning towards the others. Going slightly into the darkness instinctually to keep the lights off.
sooo much blood... Eldako could do nothing be stare at all the blood on the table . Watching it pool and drip he barely heard the kellid woman next to him. Slowly Eldako made his way to the front of the cage mesmerized before shaking off the trance. Nodding toward the woman to make sure she knew he would help her if she tried anything Eldako waited for the oppernunity.
Eldako gasps quietly when the Kellid woman shouts at the doctor. “shhhh , do you want Her to take you next ? Be smart. “ , when the man makes his move Eldako tries the only thing he can think of while the woman is distracted by flinging himself suddenly at the bars on the door hoping his great strength will be enough to snap open the doors, then pulls back into the shadows
Hey chapel , could you put the link to the furnace room at the top of the page for quick access (you would simply add it to your discription )or on the campaign tab later on it will get harder to find the links if they are not consolidated somewhere. Thank you.
Eldako sees the shadow glide across the floor, and he moves back further against the wall if possible. Not wanting to draw attention to himself lest he become the good doctors next experiment. Looking at the Half-elf Eldako realizes he is the same man in the dream. Damn the gods; really?
Eldako slinks back out of what dim light there was. He tries to remain as motionless as he can while he takes in the surroundings. His eyes accustomed to the darkness take little time as he makes a quick search.
Eldako is petrified in the mist, not seeing anyone immedeatly around him he tries to go still remembering that the creature seemed to have his eyes covered, (from the picture, it seemed like) "maybe he is blind?" Settling down Eldako tries to stay as quiet as possible.
Eldako sees the half-elf turn and run, Looking back at the creature Eldako yells out "Go away!" a odd sensation comes from inside his chest and flows into his mouth as he feels a weird energy be released with the words. he then proceeds to run after the others, not even looking back at the creature. (hopefully it flees though)
Sorry on cell
"We are not ready for this kind of fight, I think we need to leave." The flight or fight response immediately kicks in, instinctively he knows that a not well armed party should take on such a beast. "Anyone know what it is?", Eldako asks as he backs away.
how do you want to do combat? on your PbP Chapel? are you rolling initiatives or you doing a block combat? I don't want to post a attack or anything without finding out.
Eldako follows the rest quietly, watching the fog like a great beast will come out of it any moment.
Eldako is so caught up in his thoughts it takes him a moment to realize people are with him. With a start he backs up against the wall and then starts shuffling up it backwards in a crab crawl. once he realizes that he is on the wall he then falls to the ground with a yell and a THUMP! (one round later) looking up sheepishly he says with as much dignity as he can muster, How did that happen? Eldako quickly says "Shhhhhh... everyone..... listen; there is something in the hallway. pointing towards the sound, silently he hoped no one noticed his ability as he picks himself up. After the Dark haired man starts giving orders Eldako realizes the man has a holy symbol on his neck Well, now that figures doesn't it.... Checking his gear when Dark-Hair-Man says get out weapons he checks himself and notices that he isn't wearing anything but threadbare clothes with bandages around his feet and hands wrapped where just the fingers and toes show through. With a big *SIGH*, Eldako follows with the rest.
It’s a good intro , I am confused though on are we all together or separately seeing the most? I also don’t know if anyone can look at everyone else’ s spoilers what I typically do is on the discription put player only for those that are because I am curious what you wrote on others but don’t know how you want to do it when it comes to that stuff.
Eldako checks his tattered clothing for his braclet, not finding it on his wrist serching frantically until finally finding it. Shrugging at the loss of the other items werent new to a creature that needed to pick up and leave from a place at any given moment.
Was that voice my father? Eldako thought, Picking himself up off the floor Eldako's eyes are squinted shut from the visions of the sun, so that is what it was like being under the sun? Gods they can have it! Eldako spits at the ground in contempt for those unnatural beasts that toy with peoples lives. Looking around in the mist he calls out timidly, "Ummm…..hello?" Straining his senses he tries to pick up any other sounds.
I’ll be maxing perception, survival, stealth , and acrobatics . I think everyone should choose a couple and let people know where we can cover all the skills with at least one person maxed on each check. Because perception is the most used there should probably be at least one more person maxing it . For those that are new to pbp there is a handbook Doomed Heroes guide to pbp that is awesome and for the DM . pain lords guide to DM pbp , because it is way different DMing a pbp Trust me to guides are must reads.
Eldako is a Adaptive shifter that I am going to say derives all his powers from his sire, a Nosferatu vampire. He doesn't know who that is (possible hook) but his mother warned him while he was a young lad that if he ever found out he would regret it. Eldako remembers his past as being nothing more than hiding out from Undead hunters and Adventures most of his life. Being alone ever since a young age due to his mother sacrificing herself where he could get away. he has stayed in Dungeons, sewers, and places that would disgust most people. Growing up in Ustalav, he believes he caught the wasting dieses that plagues some of the undead encountered in his region. He realizes some of his traits Could come from Vampires however since he don't remember ever feeding on someone this couldn't be the case, and that he doesn't need blood to live. He sees himself as a cursed human (not knowing about Dhampires, due to his lack of schooling), and through this curse has come to hate the gods and to deny them. (which should allow good RP with three divine casters, lol) all his learning has come self taught but he is looking for some sort companionship because he is done with being alone. Eldako will be the front line fighter of the group. Not the face of the group he will very rarely speak up when encountering people. Most of his spell like abilities will be played as instinctual not purposefully and may cause some issues if he tries to "charm" someone on accident. After some thinking if it is ok i think i will take divine defience feat at first level becuase i want it to be awhile before he discovers "feeding"
Welcome all! Ill post more tonight i am on my phone and hate posting on it.
Extra bits: - I am in Central time Zone - I am in one game that I DM, the other just broke up while I was watching this one. I have found out that only playing two games on PbP is my sweet spot.
I would like to throw my character in the ring, All his powers comes from his class the adaptive shifter but I am saying its all due to him being a traditional vampire. I am still making finishing touches on him but I wanted to dot before this recruitment thread is closed. Appearance:
Eladko looks like a traditional nosferatu vampire, long thin fingers, bald head with a emancipated body that looks like he hasn't eaten in months. his ears are slightly tapered back with two rows of sharp teeth with the middle ones being a little bit longer.
personality:
Eldako talks with a Quiet and reasonable manner, and he will constantly inquire on others health. This is due to almost remembered reflex that he was concerned about that sort of thing. He knows and understands that things are meaningless. He seems also to know what people are thinking almost like he was a empath. (sensitive mind campaign trait.) A by-product of his heritage makes it where he stays out of the immediate light if he can help it. (light sensitivity)
He doesn't depend on blood like a vampire but he has a deep hunger and everything he has tried tastes awful. (blood drinker feat) History in a moment: Eldako acts much as he was in life even though he doesn't remember. He remembers that he was always alone and is happy to be able to have a group to be with. He is eager to please and has a creep factor. However when he is in combat he is vicious and remorseless. When He wakes up with the group Eldako wont know his heritage and some of the abilities will come as a surprise. He is a Atheist (ill be taking the divine defiance feat) and that will explain why the positive energy would hurt him. (racial trait) and his personal healing from the Class archetype will make up for this lack.
I decided to Dot a Alchemical Sapper because I felt it fit the campaign, need, and a solid background. He isn't completed yet but I wanted you to know what I was doing.
I'll be pulling out, I didn't like how the character was built overall, and I like everything perfect. good luck everyone.
Ill be posting the finished Eldako shortly. I'm not on the list.
I'm going to dot. but had a question if you would allow Black Marketeer feat. Its not necessary but I like the feel of a black marketeer. My character concept is a Juju Oracle (seer) that was a explorer from the Magawi expanse that took a spirtaul ritual and this is where he woke up. (very much like Indiana Jones and temple of doom poisoning.) he is now suffering from Toxic blood curse by drinking out of the "skull full of blood"
Fieram walks down the group of assembled people looking at everyone while a little further back Lord markam sits in a chair outside his tent watching the proceedings. After the last of the people gather he starts "Well now Squad three, your on latrine and cleaning duty." you hear a bit of grumbling and snickers. "Ok, you might have heard we had some reports of more attacks. Squad one, your on scouting." and he continues going through until he gets to your number. "squad four, your going to begin your training today. leave your things and meet outside the castle wall on the west side; you have one hour. Only clothing, mind you. Leave your beast, lass. you wont need him. " with that he continues going through the list you figure in all there is about one hundred soldiers in this Militia. After he assigns everyone a duty he dismisses you. you see several other soldiers milling about. Brock heads off to grab a little food, from where there appears to be a line forming. Around some people cooking in a large caldron. Gweenth heads back to the tent.
"Excellent Job, Mor. your group seems to have made it out better than some of the others." the dwarf point to two bodies shrouded in cloth.
@Mor- The dwarf grunts at your reply "You just worry about getting to the camp first, save your breath son, its a long march, and we proly arnt stopin..." he motions to the Noble.
"Ok, so your not one of them, tree huggers....." as he looks over to the side towards the woman and the small bear. "Great, get on over there you look healthy enough." leaving Oalin and walking over to the young woman (freja). "What about you miss? Ummmmm you own that thing? " |
