I apologize, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to bow out from this game. I've had some unanticipated things come up at work and I've had less time to give this the attention it needs. Since this one's still getting off the ground it's easier for me to withdraw at this time and hopefully it'll be easier to bring in an alt. I apologize for any inconvenience I've caused. I hope everyone has fun. Thanks.
Lazarus clutches his dagger and throws some sand from his pocket while muttering some words to himself. He casts Sleep at the goblins on the roof.
Lazarus holds his position, waiting until the action comes closer to him. He clutches the hilt of an old silver dagger and mulls his spell options, while quietly observing his new companions.
Lazarus also lends his eyes and ears to the situation.
Lazarus quietly clears his throat in response to Morthak's statement and goes back to listening intently at the Sheriff. "Why yes, absolutely. Swift justice at that!" he adds.
Lazarus listens intently to the Sheriff's story, then gets up from the table, clearing his throat, and walks closer. "Lazarus Baer at your service. I, um, dabble, in magic and I believe my talents may also be of use in apprehending this criminal."
A robed, slightly heavyset individual enters the Rusty Dragon. He pulls back his hood, revealing a middle-aged man, greying at the temples and looking worn by the years. He's greeted by the bartender, who seems to know him already, and he wanders over to order an ale. They chat for several minutes and the man appears more relaxed. Ale in hand, he finds a corner table and settles down, drawing a small book from inside his robe and laying it out to study. Every few minutes he glances up as though waiting for someone, and casually looking over at the two halflings and the scarred man also seated nearby.
I see Lazarus as trying to be closer to a "white necromancer" even though his abilities control the undead. He'll be doing things like making undead stand still so his allies can cut them down, or ordering the undead to attack one another. He sees it as a more novel approach to dealing with them. He wants to make them as helpless as his family was when the vampire slaughtered them. But there's always the possibility he'll be seduced by the control he has over the undead and will seek to do more. As a first-level character, he's just getting the hang of his abilities and eager to test them and push the boundaries. So is there the potential for conflict? Sure. Is he going to start the adventure with a couple zombie servants carrying his gear for him or anything like that? No. TL;DR He's trying to be a white necromancer, but he's also captivated by power.
Lazarus Baer checking in. Thanks for choosing me. I'm ok with background skills as well. I can shift Knowledge (History) to a background skill and replace with Knowledge (Nature) and add Profession (Farming) as the second background skill, since it's in line with Lazarus's history before tragedy befell his family. I see the potential conflict between Morthak and Lazarus as a good RP opportunity. Lazarus is trying to stay on an ethical line with his abilities over the undead, but he's very vulnerable to crossing that line. He'll need the occasional nudge to keep him honest. |
