Korvek marches in relative silence as the group travels. As they reach a fork in the road, Shadow motions for a pause. The dwarf grips the haft of his axe firmly, taking a moment to survey the area before watching her sneak off. He smirks as Shadow returns and relays her findings, giving the princess a look with raised brows and a little grin. "Ready ta get inta character?"
Rejoice! :3
Hey guys, we all still around? Things going this slow is making me nervous, wouldn't want to lose a campaign with this potential. D:
The dwarf, noticing the others readying to make their leave, stands and pockets his whetstone. Pack goes over his shoulders, weapon cord attached firmly to his wrist, axe gripped by the haft. Ready. He gives the wizard a nod of thanks and steps through the door.
Korvek nods approvingly as the princess goes into further detail about the arena, and nods understandingly at the decision to proceed on foot. He was an aggressive eater, but he seemed to know better than to try to talk while doing so at least. He grins widely as he finishes clearing his plate, raising his tankard once more to the mornings chef: "Much obliged lad, well done." Standing from the table, clears his place before heading back into the barracks. Some might find it peculiar that he bothers to drag his axe with him the short distance. A few moments later the dwarf returns with his pack before sitting near the door and casually taking his whetstone to his axe as he waits.
I think we kinda left that up to her majesty. :P
Korvek clunks and clanks his way over to the table, a near-pitcher-sized tankard in one meaty hand and his axe in the other. Setting his drink on the table - which looked suspiciously frothy for drinking water - and his axe to lean against it's edge, the dwarf sits and helps himself after raising his drink towards Eric in appreciation. Though he would indeed use a fork to shovel, the unrefined dwarf likely still gave off a rather rough impression. Evidently he was still listening however, as he gives a satisfied nod at the capability of the princess' contact. He pauses eating to watch curiously as the crystalline crab is stashed away before grinning widely at the mention of the arena. "Aha! This magic stuff'll prolly take a while, hm? Sounds like a way to pass the time."
Korvek erupts from the barracks, evidently far more awake now as he boots the door open and marches loudly towards the kitchen. His hair and beard were more ruly now, and his lower half now covered by heavy plate armor. His top remained uncovered with the exception of hair, muscle, and scars. "Smells like somebody wants to be my friend this mornin!" The dwarf laughs, giving the wizard a probably-too-firm grip on the shoulder. He busies himself in tracking down some drinking water.
Korvek, apparently half asleep, wanders into the common room. The dwarf wears only his britches and a blanket draped over his left shoulder as he scratches his hair and yawns deeply, crossing the room opposite the entrance. Reaching his left-over bread from last night he stuffs it into his mouth before wandering back from whence he came. Before reaching the barracks once again he pauses, head tilts then turns, and the dwarf squints his glazed eye briefly. As if unable to process the calamity, or mistaking it as a lingering dream, he returns his attention to the door before disappearing once again.
Korvek nods at the timeline proposal before laughing and shaking his head at the list everything that could go wrong. "Mm.. lets assume she comes empty-handed so we're ready to go. Ah get the feelin she'll be more talkative in the morning.. Ah'm guessin' she was worried somebody in there might hear what they shouldn't."
Korvek, having given his polite nod at the conclusion of the meeting, joins the others in returning to the guild hall and helping Eric with the windows. The dwarf makes himself comfortable, rubbing his ruined socket in annoyance as he mutters something about itchy bits that aren't even there. He waits for an opening to chime in. "Mm.. wagon's too much hassle, and we shouldn't risk usin' yer magic til we have to. Safest way t'avoid trouble is walkin.. but if word gets out we're sittin ducks."
Oh by the way, I think i forgot to ask. Korvek is using breastplate for his armor, I was wondering if you would allow me to change the appearances of it for the sake of flavor? That is, rather than his torso covered by plate I'd like to have him covered from the waist down. Thematically it's exactly what I'm aiming for. Theoretically it's reasonable as well. Still only covering half of him, and leaving his top half bare gives him lots of mobility for duck'n'weave. :D .. at the end of the day, tis only for the sake of flavor... pretty please? ^_^
Korvek nods approvingly to Shadows response to his concern, he'd been of the same mind but though it best to voice it anyway. He returns to listening as best he can to the conversation before raising a brow, apparently appalled, at Piroska. "Because she's payin' us to." His response was quick and absolute. The dwarf gives her an elevator look, as if retaking his measure of her.
Korveks eye starts to glaze over briefly halfway through her description, but a shake of his head and stroke of his beard gets him refocused. The large dwarf gives a nod of appreciation for the short-hand version. He raises a brow at the possibility of leaving immediately, feeling the need to comment. "What of our other job..?" The dwarf grumbles, obviously uncomfortable in these 'negotiations' settings, as he tries to get his point across without saying too much.
<-- To understand/figure out Hollowstone. Korvek, evidently amused by the slang term as he overhears it. He chuckles perhaps a little louder than intended while giving a thoughtful, appraising look off to the side.. almost like a wine-tester who approved of what he was swishing. "Have ta remember that one fer later.." he mutters to himself. The dwarf otherwise watches the conversation as it's about to unfold, giving the princess a deep nod (ie: a respectful nod, the barbarians equivalent of a fancy bow) of respect should their gazes meet.
Korvek chuckles at the headbutting of the two before laughing at the reply from Eric. He gives Shadow a nod of agreement regarding seeing the princess, lifting himself to his feet with a grin. "I can relate, lad. Swingin' an axe is what I'm good at, so why not get paid for it?" He chuckles, rubbing an itch in his ruined eye before stroking his beard and collecting his axe. "Ready when you lot are."
Korvek strokes his beard thoughtfully as the more.. educated make their assessments. His gaze narrows thoughtfully at the mention of copying or keeping it. "We're only babysittin' right now, but once they're back this could be our first big gig. Map like this isn't fer gawkin at. Why not offer to collect these important-lookin' glowy bits?"
Korvek was about to chime in his his two cents when the knock on the door cuts him short. The dwarf raises a brow curiously as Shadow moves to answer, not really able to see who she's speaking with from where he sits.
"Hmm.. they want us ta protect a map..?" The dwarf frowns at a thought, still looking over the map curiously. "Mm.. seven glowin' bits. Could be anythin', really.." He leans back in his seat once more, pondering and waiting for input from the others.
Good question... Brainstorm commencing: Prominence
Korvek gives Eric a grin as he lays out his suggestions, nodding approvingly. "Ah like tha way ye think, lad. Lets make it ten, hm?" He laughs, giving the wizard a friendly slap on the shoulder that's probably a little rougher than intended; evidently the dwarf was accustomed to his kin. "Ah'm sure we'll set this up ta be a fine place. Ah'm enjoying the taste in stone." His grin remains as the Oracle enters, a hand raising in greeting. "Ah, so tha duo becomes a trio then. Tha sooner we all get here tha sooner we can visit tha bigshot." The dwarf chuckles.
Korvek pauses a moment at the entrance to the new guild hall, his one good eye giving the place a once-over while a piece of paper in his hand flicked in the breeze. The large dwarf refers to the parchment again briefly before nodding his approval at the structure and letting himself inside, evidently unaware of Shadow nearby studying the board. After spending some time inspecting the interior he finally checks out the racks, raising a brow at the claimed bunk. Casually choosing the farthest bed, the dwarf sets his pack at the foot of the bed before flopping on top for a test. Nodding his approval, he finally returns to the common room where he kicks up his feet and makes himself at home.
Mmm... shield bacon.. I'm about to head off to do mechanical flavored things to my Jeep, should be able to post later this evening.
I'll meat YOUR shield. *shakefist*
Eric is correct, I was referring to Korveks potential. Look up "Death and Glory"; I fully intend to unleash a legendary death-stroke the likes of which mortal eyes have never seen. >:)
I can't wait to see my end-game. Eric is already familiar with it. I have every intention of providing the most epic finish to an epic fight ever. >:3 I suppose Korvek hailing from the Dwarven region is logical enough. As for starting situation, I'm open to suggestions?
Awwwwww Yiss. :3 Time for the true Korvek to reign.
Yeah I was really looking forward to this one, very satisfied with Korvek. :<
Ooh! Ooh! I has question! ... when do we start? XD I'm itchin to see the most accurate rendition of Korvek I've yet concieved. :3
Rejoice! *Confetti*
As far as allowed content, for our ease of use, anything on the d20pfsrd site is welcome, but needs to be run by me if it is 3rd Party material. Guns are Emerging, but still rather Rare. I'll say this once, but 3.5 content will not be allowed for this Campaign. Memorizing the d20pfsrd site was enough of a headache for me, so I don't need to memorize 3.5 all over again. :P
Filled in a few blanks and threw in his background. Aside from writing up his description and personality he's pretty much ready to rumble. :3
This is the beginning of the Dwarf Barbarian I mentioned. Much of the crunch done now, just need to figure out how to spend that gold. ;) Edit: He's pretty much finished with crunch now. At most a few minor tweaks before gameplay, assuming he even gets in. ^_^ I've been itching to get into a good campaign with Harland. :3 |
