Isabelle D'Sarini's page

There, page 5

She added the d' to, in her mind (she is "of" the Sarini's), distance herself from her family but isn't above using it to her own ends.

I'd like to submit Isabelle D'Sarini, the anarchist arcanist, for consideration.

I envision Isabelle as somewhat of a spoiled rich kid who's been disowned by her family and is acting out more to stick it in their eye than out of any real motivation to join a rebellion. Her parents sent her to the Egorian Academy in the hopes that the discipline needed to summon devils would curb her wild side... it didn't. After graduation she returned home and began dating, much to her parent's dismay (which was the whole point), a boy from the wrong side of town. This is the straw that broke the camel's back and her parents cut her off and as such she is currently living in the city proper rather than on the Sarini estate. She finds herself in Aria park looking for her boyfriend when the whole thing kicks off.

As an aside I used the 200 gp bonus from the Noble Scion feat and purchased a psuedodragon. The goal is to take the Familiar exploit as my 7th level exploit as well as taking the Improved Familiar feat at 7th level and converting Valarithyx, Vala for short, into my familiar, if she lives that long. Until then she is just a family pet who will be a non-entity more often than not.

Isabelle has Craft Wondrous Item and Scribe Scroll already and will probably take Craft Wand at some point.

I'm going to submit Isabelle d'Sarini for consideration.

She's a daughter of the Sarini family who was ostracized for considering the family help "people" and was sent to the Egorian Academy in the hopes that the discipline needed to summon devils would some how temper her wild ideas...it didn't.

I originally submitted her for another campaign which didn't get very far into book 1 before falling apart and I will work on getting her updated for this over the weekend.

As an aside to DM-Camris, I "purchased" Valarithyx as part of the benefit from the Noble Scion feat. The goal is to take the Familiar exploit as my 7th level exploit as well as taking the Improved Familiar feat at 7th level and converting Valarithyx into my familiar, if she lives that long. Until then she is just a family pet who will be a non-entity more often than not.

Hey everyone,
I wanted to say I'm sorry but I'm going to drop out of this game. With all the craziness going on in my personal life right now I've found that I don't have the time to properly devote to keeping up with a lot of my games and so some of them have to go.
Thank you GM SilentSage for inviting me and for stepping up and running this game. I wish you and all the remaining players the best of luck.
Thanks,
Mike

"My family may be some of the most ardent of Thrune supporters but I am not considered a part of my family anymore. Seeing what he is willing to do to those entrusted to his care I am more than willing to tear this usurper down."

Isabelle steps forward to introduce herself, deliberately leaving out her last name "My name is Isabelle and it's a pleasure to meet you. Your "son" Lonnie, his friends, and I were at the park when the madness started. We managed to escape and were on our way here to wait out the chaos when we came upon Rexus here, who was being assaulted by some of Thrune's goons. We rescued him from the beating they were laying down and finally made it to your door. I hope our intrusion won't be too much of a burden."
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

Thank you everyone for you patience while my family and I get things sorted out. My Father in Law has met with both his primary physician and an oncologist in the last couple of weeks. One has said that his heart is not strong enough for surgery while the other says he's not strong enough for chemotherapy. So it appears the best course of treatment is no treatment at this time.
There are still a couple of more doctors visits scheduled during the coming weeks but I feel that things have settled down enough after the initial scare that I can begin to start posting again on a regular basis.
Again I apologize if my absence has caused any undue problems and look forward to getting some semblance of normalcy back.
Thank you,
Mike

Again my apologies, things have been a little crazy right now. Yesterday we received the test results from when my Father in Law was in the hospital and it's been determined he has colon cancer. Given his age and state of health we are consulting with his doctors on the best course of treatment. Surgery, while an option, is risky and he may not survive the operation.
Needless to say things are quite up in the air right now so if need be please feel free to bot me until such time as I can devote more attention to the game.
Thanks.

I'm assuming that Rexus and Isabelle might know each other or at least know about one another.

Knowledge (nobility): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14

Isabelle sighs with relief as she releases the pent up energy of the spell and lets it harmlessly dissipate. She approaches Rexus with a smile "Good morning, Rexus, or at least it was until all the hells broke loose." her face turns more serious as she continues "I'm sorry for your loss. Your family may have been no friend to the Thrune's but they were always friends of Kintargo and this city needs all the friends it can get right about now."

Isabelle finishes her spell and decides to hold it in case these thugs wise up and it's needed.

"More than five on one? Seems rather unfair and you've still managed to get your ass handed to you? Rest assured I won't be forgetting this whooping anytime soon." Isabelle smirks at the leader before casting her spell.
Casting Sleep again, it will go off on the begining of her turn next round.

Isabelle listens to the commotion in the alleyway once it's been pointed out "Right or wrong, we can't leave someone to the "tender mercies" of the Thrune's, such as they are." so saying she moves to the mouth of the alley to assess the situation.

"Whew, that was...exciting." Isabelle pants as she pauses to catch her breath. She extends her hand to those around her "I'm afraid we haven't been properly introduced. My name's Isabelle, Isabelle d'Sarini." She smiles sweetly "Yes, those Sarini's. But don't worry my family's disowned me because I don't share the same...beliefs as they do." she explains "I'm on my own, to do as I wish and I wouldn't have it any other way."

Thank you all. My father in law was discharged, after getting topped off with fluids, late yesterday afternoon and is now home resting comfortably.

Knowledge (planes): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12
The creature's identity is so tantalizingly familiar as the man next to her shouts a warning about the hell hound "Oh yeah." she thinks "that's what it is. Time to beat a hasty retreat." Putting thoughts to action she joins the rest of the crowd on the way out of the park. It just so happens she follows those others that stood up to the dottari and their pet thugs.

Sorry everyone, my 87 year old father in law was admitted to the hospital last night for dehydration. We just drove down to be with him. I'll get something up later tonight.

1983 for me

Isabelle would be the odd one out, I would imagine, seeing as her circle of friends wouldn't mesh too well with the others in the party.

"I tried to warn you. Isabelle whispers as the message spell is broken by the dotarri's death. Shaken by the sudden outburst of violence and it'even quicker cessation she stands alone in the eye of the storm as the crowds disperse, chased by the dottari and the thugs of the so call "Chelish Citizen's Group".
She is brought out her dark musing by the memory of Morgar being assaulted and arrested the the city guard. She looks around but is unable to find him.
Seeing one of the guards sound asleep because of her spell she goes over to the unconscious man and grabs his manacles. Taking his cuffs she places them about his wrists and then removes the key from his pouch "Not today, my friend. Sleep well." she says to him before tossing the key into the fountain.

Isabelle finishes her spell with a flourish "Somnum" she shouts.
Those within the cross will need to make a DC:14 will save or fall asleep.
If anyonw is still standing she will cast message and whisper in their ear "I suggest you leave now before you make a fatal mistake."
Diplomacy check: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

A spell that takes one round to cast is a full-round action. It comes into effect just before the beginning of your turn in the round after you began casting the spell. You then act normally after the spell is completed.

Isabelle watches as chaos swirls around her looking for some way to stop, or at least mitigate, the fighting. Seeing a clump of group of people attacking each other she begins another spell.
Going to cast Sleep. Since it's a full round action it won't go off until next round.

"I knew it! I just knew this was going to happen." she thinks to herself. With Morgar swept away Isabelle searches the crowd for him but fails to see him. What she does see chills her to the bone "Those people were planted in the crowd. No matter what this was going to turn violent, Thrune saw to that. Probably one of his people who threw the cow pie to begin with."
Before she begins to cast a spell she shouts a mental command to Valarithyx "*Val, take wing! I'll meet you back at the apartment when I'm able.*" seeing the little dragonette fly off Isabelle begins casting her spell "Magicae Armis" she intones as her body becomes surrounded by a magical, invisible, field of force. With her protection in place she moves to place the bulk of the fountain between herself and the rioters.
She casts Mage Armor on herself.

Knowledge (local): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9
Isabelle draws a sharp intake of breath at Thrune's announcement, she had no idea what squassation might be, but it couldn't be good.
"Calling us unsophisticated, backwards, and ignorant. The man couldn't have done more to inflame this crowd unless he poured alchemist's fire over them." she tells Morgar "Unless this is what he intended to do?" she muses.
Initiative check: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
Does the bonus for the initial reason we are at the protest (tagging along) still apply? If so add +2 to the initiative check.

Isabelle snuggles into Morgar's embrace. Despite having enough magic to protect herself and Moragr as well she decides to pad his ego "Thank you, my brave knight" she tells him with a smile. *"Do not let this big oaf crush me.*" Valatheryx beams into her mind, her disdain for Isabelle's new boyfriend clearly evident.
Watch the crowd (sense motive): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Watch the crowd (sense motive): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

Isabelle watches as more and more people pour into the park "I've got a bad feeling about this." she tells Morgar "Too many people in too small a space. Something's bound to happen."

Isabelle finally spots Morgar as he makes his way through the crowd. She jumps off the the fountain's rim and embraces Morgar around the neck "Flattery will get you everywhere." she whispers in his ear before pulling back. "Such an interesting crowd." she remarks "So many different elements here and the dottari looking like hounds straining at the leash, just waiting to be loosed. I hope nothing untoward happens."

Sorry guys, busy day yesterday. Didn't get a chance to sit down and compose my thoughts. I'll get a post up when I get a chance, otherwise Isabelle will watch the crowd for signs of trouble.

Sorry for the thread derail but an Iron Gods game I'm in just lost one of our players and we're looking for a replacement. The current party consists of a Human Gunslinger (pistolero) (myself), a Ratfolk Investigator (empiricist), a Android Fighter, and a Half-elf Inquisitor (sacred beastmaster).
We're looking for an arcane caster who can bring some healing to the table as well (our Inquisitor didn't take CLW as a spell known). Thinking either a Witch with the Healing hex or a Bard with CLW (not trying to pigeonhole anyone, though).
You can find the Discussion thread here (Link) and the Gameplay thread here (Link).
If you're interested please leave a concept/build in the Discussion thread.
Thanks,
Mike

Isabelle arrives to the park somewhat late. Making her way to the crowd she scans the faces, looking for Morgar. Unable to find him she steps onto the rim of the fountain hoping to get a better view. The green and gold dragon on her shoulder chirps indignantly "*Be careful. I do not want to go for a swim today*" echoes in her mind. "Don't worry, Val. Neither do I" she says out loud
From her slightly better vantage point she looks over the crowd "My there are certainly a lot of people here today." she observes absently. The voice once again rings in her head "*I, for one, applaud the man's efforts to rid the city of vermin and will voraciously do my part to help, although I don't think you would be able to collect the bounty once I'm finished. I mean, why do you humans care that you can't wear fine clothes without a licence, just wear normal clothes, or that you can't eat mint? I mean, mint of all things. We, as dragons, are above such petty concerns.*" Isabelle stifles a chuckle as she remembers the tirade Valarithyx had unleashed the last time a wharf rat had escaped her hunt. "People just don't like being told what to do or what not to do, I guess"
Overhearing the man standing next to her she opines "I don't believe any one person organized this. I mean, there are so many disparate group present, each protesting there own complaints, that it seems almost impossible that one person could pull this together. It'd be like trying to herd cats." "or dragons." she thinks to herself.

I'm cool with it, but she'd wouldn't exactly like it if you referred to her as a pet. Tiny they may be, they still think of themselves as dragons. You'd probably end up as friends if treated well enough though.

I understand that. It took me forever to think of a name for her. I finally found something from Owen K.C. Stephens from an old Dragon magazine article about dragon names (Link). Her name means "Noble Warrior" in Draconic.

As for myself, my name is Mike and I'm 51 years old. I live in the northwest suburbs of Chicago (Schaumburg, to be exact, so I'm in the same time zone as GM SilentSage ) and have worked for American Airlines since 1985. I work from 0530 to 1400 Monday through Friday (I usually get up around 0, my god, 330) and am off weekends. I can post almost anytime during the day but am usually offline during the evening hours when my wife an daughter are home.
I began playing D&D in 1979 while in high school with AD&D and then through all it's iterations (except 4th edition, they lost me there) but have yet to pick up 5th edition and try it out.

Thanks for the selection

I've got a background from another HR recruitment, it can be found Here. I'm currently working on expanding it.

Introducing Isabelle d'Sarini, the anarchist arcanist, who's taken up the cause because of a friend, lover, etc (another PC, even, if anyone would like to link backgrounds) who became involved.
She's still a work in progress but let me know if I'm barking up the wrong tree.

I'll work on your other background points as time permits.

Quick question, will you be Pathfinder UNCHAINED!'s Background Skill system? That may influence some potential players' skill selections.

@Profession, sorry no background skills. good question.
