Korwin Kurze's page

Having spent most of the day musing on the potential for escape the small blade might represent, Korwin had arrived at only one truly viable solution. "If you can get that blade over to me, I think I may know how to make use of it beyond picking one's teeth or sewing up those rags of yours." He says to Yzera, before turning his attention to their gnomish compatriot. [/b]"And what did your visitor have to say? It seems an awful stretch of coincidence that there was not some connection with our fiendish visitor last night. Blackerly made it sound as though she might be highborn, is there a chance to recognized their crest? That they gave you a name?"[b]

Korwin is surprised by the overt entrance of the fiendish figure, but immediately smiles, and turns to observe the rest of the prisoners reactions. Not being able to speak to their ability or cunning, he has to wonder if they received similar visions, and at any rate is not willing to wholly trust this demon, even if he has agreed to accept some measure of power from it's master. "It is true, I have entered into a dark pact for my own sake," He looks from Lauren to Yzera, to Elaine to Nemenia, "But I did not ask for allies, nor would I presume to speak for them. Assuming you have more to offer us than kind words and veiled promises though, I would gladly accept your help out of this prison, along with my fellow Forsaken."

Very good there Divineshadow! Only I figured Korwin's family being former rulers was a lost in the mists of time thing, not even Korwin being fully aware of the truth behind his lineage or history, and certainly not the kind of thing something a bottom rung guard in Branderscar would be privy to (maybe a royal archivist or keeper of secret information in the capital).

Otherwise, why let him live this long you know?

Still, don't want to make you retcon anything if you've got something in mind for Korwin that I hadn't predicted myself just yet.

I'm on pacific standard, but I can usually get at least one post in while I'm at work, and I look forward to finding a new fourth (fifth?)

Awesome! Seriously looking forward to kicking this thing off.

Hey, no problem just wanted to make sure all the information was there for you and you knew where it was once you're ready

Got it, I went ahead and posted the link to my Mythweavers sheet, along with abilities, statblock, and character details under this Alias, and now that he's submitted for the game you should be able to look him over freely, right?

.

Okay, I'll dot right now and finalize the details on my rival. Decided to go with a scholarly cleric of Mithra.

The reason I asked about other gods is that I originally had Korwin as an anti-paladin not quite yet devoted to Tiamat (the Tiamat of Faerun no less), in keeping with his whole draconic theme. Not sure how much you picked up, but I want to take Korwin down the Eldritch Heritage: Draconic line of Feats and get him some claws, a breath weapon, and wings so that he's a terrifying incarnation of evil draconic majesty. His backstory is meant to reflect a long lost relation to an evil dragon with whom they formed an alliance to rule by proxy in exchange for proper obeisance to the elder wyrm and the deity of evil dragons.

If that's all still cool let me know, it's both my reasoning behind his Eldritch Ancestry feats (to come) and his Prince Trait, the idea being he comes from an ancient line of kings back when the land was populated by nothing but warring clans. None of this is anything Korwin is presently aware of, except that his life was recently touched by some malevolent shade who offered to act as his benefactor and gave him a sample of the dark power he could find in doing so.
