Herac's page

Huh, two characters eh? I'm certainly not against this as a plan. Especially since we'll have ample time to come up with some great ideas there.

So are we looking at beginning at 1st level for characters or higher? It'll definitely help with the creation of backstory, haven't played with the crowd performance rules since the Ruby Phoenix Tournament supplement was released.

I really like the Born on the Bloody Sand background trait. I plan to play a Phalanx Fighter who couldn't quite handle life in the military and instead was drawn back into fighting in the arenas while looking for a rush of glory.

Or perhaps he was disgraced while in the army and is sold into the arena by a greedy commander. I'll come up with a more in-depth backstory as things develop.

Sounds like my kind of game. I built this character for a similar type game a few years ago but it never took off. I'd be happy to rebuild him as needed.

A good old hack/slash gladiatorial fighter campaign sounds like a fun time.

Would we be starting out having been forced into it, are we choosing it because we're stranded and only have a very specific set of skills. Or is that up to us?

Herac grins as he looks around the tavern, his gaze sizing up the aging Orc before shifting back to Orphax as he responds "Not even enough to buy a drink at the Lost Cause."

As Orphax takes yet another blow that should have hit him, Herac shouts: "You'd best start watching yourself Orphax, one of these days you'll out-stride even your endurance."

I think that was everyones actions for the round.

Realizing the Giant's swings would almost certainly land a blow were it to focus on the girl, Herac bellows a challenge as he unleashes his full fury with a series of powerful strikes. "Here savage beast, here is where you shall meet your end!!"

At Orphax's shout Herac steps to the side kneeling down and striking out hard with his spear as he raises his shield to cover himself and Orphax.

"Come and get it, you big ugly bastard."

1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19 Initiative

The large man stands, moving in practiced sync with the other two soldiers. He lifts both a tower shield and a spear sized more for an Ogre than for the man currently wielding it. As he easily brings the spear to bear there is an orange glow of flame and the chill of the wind is briefly cut by a warmth emanating from the blade of the spear. A smile appears on his face as he stares at the Giant.
"Good, I was beginning to fear this place held as little excitement for us as a guard post on the Time Frozen Flats."

I've got your flank.

Ok ,character number crunching done. Just need to add description, traits and backstory. Nightflier, is it ok if I take the inuitive learning trait?
