Jagen Marvisian's page

I've been assuming a dead game for a while. I'll see posts until it goes inactive though.

Jagen sighs at the minstrels protestations. ”And that is the essence of your crime. You were taken in by an obvious charlatan and spread falsehoods and discontent among the subjects of the Crown. It is amazing that you fail to comprehend the situation.”

If everyone else is ready, let's drag this guy out and put him in the stocks (or whatever).

"A 'divine' figure walked away from you into the woods. And you believed in them? You are lying or spread subversion among the Queen's subjects with no regard for the truth. This is singularly unimpressive."

Are there any civilians still filing out of the bar? Jagen would like to get witnesses to acknowledge this poppycock if he can.

”This angel came to you, told you not to be afraid and then just left? That's not how these stories usually go,” Jagen said skeptically. ”She asked nothing of you and told you nothing? What really happened?”

The new year season gave me a bit of a jolt but I'm here and reading. I have to dash off to work but I'll try to respond soon...need to refresh myself on exactly what we're up to.

Jagen takes note of Cimri's tales of the perfidy of Longacre's residents as he follows her into the tavern.

Read over the Decree. The only thing that is probably relevant now is the limit on gathering sizes. We should be careful to watch for lawbreakers and traitors.

Jagen gathers his things and heads out for their journey. He had just sworn an oath to the baron and had no intention of challenging the man's chosen leader.

Jagen left speculation on the proper punishment for the tavern owner to others. "Do we have reports on what this minstrel has been saying about the Angel Knight? Whether the spectre exists, or not, the threat his words pose depend greatly on the nature of his claims."

"What news, then?" Jagen asked the creature, unsurprised by its appearance. It would be unusual if the Archbaron wasn't served by a devil of some sort, though he didn't recognize this one.

Jagen was interested to hear how the Baron would answer Kehlysch's question, but saw no advantage in seeming uncertain. He reached out toward the hellstone and recited the oath to his superiors.

Pain: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Jagen raises his hand. "First, thank you for the opportunity to serve. I will strive not to disappoint. I am not familiar with goings on in Longacre, though. What do we know about the Angel Knight? Is there anything else we should know about recent events in the city?"

Jagen waited to hear what their patron had to say further.

Approaching Scarlet Crown, Jagen felt relieved at the new coin fattening his purse. He'd been badly short on funds following his return from Andoran, but his efforts in Haxxon's Ford had paid off handsomely. Relieved, but not surprised. Effort, done competently of course has its rewards.

At the halfling's departure, Jagen hesitated for a moment. He didn't know the newcomers and was unsure of their status. Position was everything, and a false move made imprudently could stain him. It was only a fleeting thought, however. Though delivered by a butler, the Archbaron's orders were clear. It was also likely that their positions were similar to his own, given that the archbaron had grouped them together.

Jagen is a young man, well into his twenties of about average height. His short dark hair isn't quite black and comes together in a severe widow's peak. His leather armor is weathered but in good condition, and he wears a sword and dagger on his belt. "Jagen Marvisian, at your service," he bowed to the others sharply. "I take it that your efforts in Longacre went well?"

In the recruitment I billed Jagen as a Court Bard, and I'm happy enough with that. It's probably worth taking a look at whether that is what the party needs though.

The biggest implication is the loss of Inspire Courage for Satire, which is basically negative Inspire Courage. So we'll be a bit better defended than a party with a standard Bard, but somewhat less offensive. I'm guessing that's OK with the party makeup. Satire also is mind-affecting and language dependent, so it won't work on everything.

We have an Investigator and a Wizard, so the loss of Bardic Knowledge seems unimportant.

Jagen's skill set as currently envisioned is spy-like. Social Skills, sneaking skills & a focused subset of knowledge skills like history/local/nobility.

I'm guessing all of that that works with this party, but I thought I should toss it up for review.

Checking in. Time to start working on the alias & a full character sheet. Are we clear to post in Gameplay?
