Gomlock Firehide's page

Gomlock grins as their new manager sets out the rules, Well, that all sounds pretty straight forward. These fights aren't intentionally deadly but I guess the risk is always going to be there. I think I will spend the day making sure my will is sorted and maybe picking up some extra resouces. Scrolls and potions are probably all a good idea. Given we are relative unknowns then we should probably bet big on the first round, our odds are likely to shorten after the first battle.

He digs around in his pack and produces a hefty looking pouch which he hands to Ekaym. Here you go, 500gp on us to win, I have confidence in us! For the rest of you I would recommend having some ways to fly, see invisible things and deal with being grappled. I have a few of these hand talismans which help with the latter. Scrolls of spells like heroism, expeditious retreat and resist energy might be helpful. I will haste us all at the start of things.

He turns back to Ekaym, What do we know about the other teams? We will presumably meet them at this dinner tonight. I suggest we all downplay how capable we are, scuff up your gear, dial down those charming personalities and generally try to appear to be a bit clueless. Ivar, you may be a named man but not round these parts I think. I have a reputation of my own but it wasn't made here in Greyhawk.

Gomlock nods, Yes, that sounds like a much better arrangement, I am fine with it. As for a name, I rather like The Enigmas.

Now, what can you tell us about the competition rules?

Gomlock crosses his arms across his chest and scowls at the new arrival. 50%, 50%! You expect us to put our lives on the line and fill your pockets while we have to split half the winnings amongst the rest of us. We take all the risk and come out with a paltry few hundred gold. I don't think so.

He scans the crowd, Looks like there are plenty more potential managers out here looking for business. As you can see our team boasts multiple powerful spellcasters, always an advantage in games such as these. It seems to me that you should be explaining to us why we should go with you rather than one of your competitors. Just what do you bring to the table beyond your, "license".

Knowledge Local about the games and Managers: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (13) + 17 = 30

Diplomacy to haggle: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (9) + 13 = 22

Gomlock steps up to the small group coming together for the games. He is short, a little under 5'6, with pale gray skin, bright green eyes and close cropped dark hair. He wears a long black robe decorated with arcane runes along the sleeve cuffs and hem. Belted at his waist is a spell component pouch and spellbook and he carries a simple pack slung over one shoulder.

Welcome, the name is Gomlock, glad to meet you. It seems they are trying to put together mixed groups, should make this "competition" interesting. I am curious about just how "nonlethal" these games are supposed to be. I haven't yet managed to capture someone with a fireball! Any of you lot know what the rules of this thing are?

Just to note, I am away this weekend.

Gomlock steps forward.

Gomlock Firehide, individual, here's your cash! he snaps out crisply before heading off to the waiting area.

As he waits to be called he scans the crowd of hopefuls looking for likely team mates and sizing up potential opponents. He is particularly looking for other spellcasters.

Can you add a gameplay thread we can dot into please, it makes it much easier to see if something has been posted/

My sheet should now be up to date.

Gomlock, traits are not allowed in this game, so you will need to amend your sheet.

Hmm, I had missed that, any particular reason? Is that also the case with Additional Traits?

Here is my submission.
