Gyorgy here has played the first AP volume twice but never got to the end of it.
I would love to play him again.
He is a member of a travelling Varisian caravan who is travelling to Sandpoint to help look after an elderly 'aunt' (she is a more distant relative in blood but Varisian extended families are very close) who lives in Sandpoint. There are also two young cousins living with auntie while their parents travel across a harsh part of the steppe.
The family complications are something I find fun but am happy to scale back if you would prefer.
Gyorgy is a sorcerer who is expected to 'pull his weight' with practical things while also adding a bit of flash to the entertainment when they roll in to towns and villages.
I'm going for quite young and directionless. His family have volunteered him to help out with Auntie and the little ones so that he can learn some responsibility and self-confidence.
I have also GMed the first two volumes (years ago, with the 3.5 books).
Hi, Gyorgy here has had two attempts at RotRL on these boards, both of which have ended during book one due to GMs going AWOL.
Third time lucky?
He's a Varisian bard who is visiting town, as members of his troupe often do when they are young adults, to look after both an elderly aunt who has settled down there and a pair of young cousins who are spending a few months in town to do some regular scholling while their parents do some more arduous travelling.
He's at that crossroads in life where he doesn't really know what he wants to do or who he wants to be. Another character who is just brave enough and just capable enough to accidentally become an adventurer.
more in profile, although I may need to dust off and scrub up stats.

Sorry for being out of the game so long. The boy had every minor newborn ailment you could find: he's fine now but it's been overwhelming.

Not wishing to tread on Wreck's toes, I have not been online much lately due to the birth of my second child on the first of the month.
I'll try to get back into things but feel free to bot me if needs be.

Gorgy continues with his story, falling into the familiar rhythms of the tale helps him to concentrate on the task at hand. As he does so, he moves forward, drawing his sword, and slashes at the skeleton he can reach 5.

Gyorgy just starts talking from pure nervous excitement, "Oh, goodness, this is like the story of Korlan and the dancing hats. With the juggler in the graveyard, where..."
Strangely, his excited storytelling reaches peaks of excitement that thrill the gang.

Gyorgy follows Gar down the steps and peers into the crypt beyond, then he picks up a torch and casts light upon it with a small flourish "Lux in tenebris lucet."

Could I change him into a bard?
We could say that the colour sprays were clever uses of flare that won't ever work again... not that they worked much so far :D

"Anything particular about the vault? Is that a noble family: could be right that they're looking for gold." Gyorgy nods agreeably at the dwarf.
So now we're supposed to figure out this whole thing? What's that old joke: no good deed goes... Unpunished.
Then he smiles at Sherrif Hemlock, "Sounds like we're your guys-" he catches himself and nods to Clea, "and gals."

During the night, Gyorgy accepts a room, not knowing how to refuse, and then slips out to return to Luba's house.
He wakes early, rattles through the chores, leaves a note and gets back to the inn before anyone noticed he has been gone.

Arriving just in time to hear his name, Gyorgy slips into a seat at the group's table, "Oh, Clea and I are distant cousins."
Gyorgy flashes a grin at Clea, hoping she appreciates the Varisian in-joke.
"My aunt and cousins pretty mch missed the whole thing. They can't be alone, a lot of people ar hearing details by word-of-mouth." Gyorgy shakes his head good-humouredly, "By tomorrow we'll be dragon-slayers; by the end of the month we'll have chased off a few hungy foxes."
"Seriously though, does anyone know anything about goblins? Why did they attack the festival?"

Gyorgy blushes at Cyrdak's comments and tried to avoid meeting peoples' gaze.
"I, um... yeah, so, um... I'm just..."
Many-Faced, can I assume things are all good at home, or will we explore that?

I usually play wizards and am still getting used to having a very restrictive spell-list.
That said, I imagine that glitterdust will be on my list and am tempted to have a few blasts eventually, so maybe lightning bolt will make it in there.
I much prefer buffs and battlefield control though.
Honestly, I'm much more into the character than the class and wondering if he should have been a bard.

"I'll be along shortly," Gyorgy starts to veer away from the group as they head to the Rusty Dragon, "I've just got to check on my cousins."
Heading quickly through the town, Gyorgy takes a few moments to tidy himself before pushing open Aunt Luba's door, "Hello! Everyone okay?"

Gyorgy starts wiping the blood from his scarf with great care, he even tries to hack up some spit but is surprised to find that his mouth is too dry.
He is broken from this reverie by the talk of fire.
"We'll have to knock on some doors: get people and buckets for a chain."

Gyorgy stares for a moment at the blood dripping from his scarves blades, then, with a gulp, he rushes up behind the goblin threatening his nearby hooded ally and makes a wild swing.

Many-Faced, just checking on that last attack. I made it twice because the first time I accidentaly typed 1d2 instead of 1d20...
So, yeah, hopefully the second attack stands?
I actually edited the original post but it made a double-post instead. I'm guessing that's what happens if you try to edit a die roll on the boards, never tried before.

Then he swings his bladed scarf off his shoulder and makes a clumsy slash at the goblin.

Eager to deal with the goblins and get to the burning building, he calls upon his divine ancestry once more.

Gyorgy grins at the capable dwarf's praise, "Well, um yeah."
Then he catches himself, "No, no water magic. But if anyone's injured from the fire, I might be able to help a little. Not like a cleric or anything, just..."
Gyorgy scratches his neck and looks up at the plumes of smoke, trying to calculate where the nearest plume might be coming from.

Rage and shock and frustration and confusion roil within Gyorgy as he looks at the absurd, cruel creature unconcsious before him. He looks to Gar, "What should we do?"
He fiddles with his scarf, feeling the weight of the blades as they bounce against his thigh.

Gyorgy will send his young cousins home when the light starts to fade or they start to tire. Many-Faced GM can decide whether that is before or after any plot progression.
