So is this a homebrew system? When you were talking about shifting to a simpler system, I thought you meant something more official that has source material that I would be able to reference easily.

So what system is this new character sheet based on because there are different categories that exist on one character sheet but not the other? I'm not exactly sure how I'm supposed to convert this over.
"Let's stop a moment and get our bearings. I had hoped we would be out of here by now," Leoran says to Bart. Leoran looks around to see what his options are and if there are any exits back to the surface nearby.
"We should get a move on! If we follow the flow of the sewage, I'm hoping it will lead us toward an exit." Leoran says, as looks around to try and determine where the sewage is headed.
Leoran addresses the last Wererat near him, loudly enough that the others can hear. "Are your lives really worth the toll?" Leoran attacks.
Leoran turns and attacks the next wererat with a mighty swing of his blade.
Leoran addresses the Wererat's before him. "We're not here to invade. We're trying to leave this damned city before it's destroyed. If you have anything or anyone you care about down here, you should be more worried about them. Send someone up top if you don't believe me. The only thing blocking our way out is you and we will go through you if we must." Leoran turns to focus his attention to the Wererat on his left and slices at him with a powerful blow.
"Death comes to take the city above and soon death will come for all here, down below. Your toll will be paid for in your own blood unless you flee this place now,"Leoran says as he draws his blade and cleaves the Wererat's in front of him.
After touching the map a couple time and considring some options, Leoran says, "Arcaan and Beren are the closest cities. I am hoping that these sewers will lead out into the Last River, which we will need to cross. Hopefully the dwarves of Arcaan can help provision us and give us some news. We should continue on to Beren after. I was a classmate with Hestan Arcurio, the son of the Lord and Lady Arcurio, who rule there. My hope is that they might have information that could be useful to us, given their strong ties to Galadan." "We should get moving," Leoran says as he folds the map and puts it back in the bag.
Leoran then touches Beren on the map.
Leoran touches the city nearest to Beliai on the map, Arcaan.
What's the name of the city we're currently in?
Leoran's eyes widen as he says, "That's right, he did!" Leoran takes out two ioun torches and hands one to Bartigan. "Here, take this." Leoran reaches into the bag his father gave him and pulls out the map.
"As far as I can gather, an ancient evil known as The Rising Darkness has either been resurrected, reawakened, or released and seems intent on conquering and/ or destroying Tharin. It appears that the Darkness can bring back the dead and twist the living to it's own will. Something along those lines. I'm still trying to figure things out too. None of this bodes well and I'm not yet sure how we're supposed to fight something like that." Leoran's voice is dulled and he is clearly shaken. "Do you have any ideas on where we can go once we're out of the city?"
Not seeing anything in that link you added. Getting a "Whoops! We couldn’t find that page." message. As far as Leoran's mother goes, I think we did discuss her very briefly but I don't remember for sure.
Leoran begins to climb down and attempts to slide the manhole cover back over the sewer entrance.
"We should be able to hide and hopefully get out of the city through the sewer. Give me a hand with this", Leoran says as he moves towards the manhole cover.
Leoran begins looking around for a building or alley to duck into. He also begins looking to see if there are any entrances to the city's sewer nearby.
"Not good at all!" Leoran takes a moment to take in his surroundings. "Is there an exit from the city near the docks or even smuggler tunnels that lead outside of the city?" Leoran continues to survey the area looking for an exit or another, smaller boat, that they can use for their escape.
Leoran can't get a clear line of site on anything amidst the fire, smoke, and chaos.
I'm guessing the bag is a bag of holding? What size? Also, what was the map of?
Do I need to add that bag and map to my character sheet?
Leoran's training kicks in and, against his better judgement, he runs away from the fight, away from his father. "Gods, how are we supposed to face that? How can we win when the Darkness keeps bringing everyone back?" Unsure of where the Sea Queen is, Leoran continues running toward the docks.
"Of course father. I will do what must be done," Leoran says with steadfast conviction, giving the customary salute of the Order. "Can you tell us any more about our enemy? How was the Rising Darkness defeated before? Surely, if they were able to bring Keldo back from the dead, I worry what else they will send against us."
"Likewise Father," Leoran says with a great sigh of relief, as he embraces Darren. "I worried when you did not meet us, although it was for the best that you didn't." Leoran is visibly concerned for his father, as he is not used to seeing him so worried. "How much do you know so far? We have much to discuss."
Leoran looks at Bart and says, "If I knew, I would already be on my way. All I know is he was supposed to meet us at the tavern." Leoran then turns his attention to Brando, matching his stance as he calmly rests his hand on the hilt of his long blade."I am Leoran Athlan. What business do you have with these men?" Leoran's armor, with visible crests of the Order of the Moon, is still spattered with dark blood and and bits of viscera from the wounds he inflicted on Keldo.
"Where are we off to now? I'd like to track down the High Lord, especially now that we've faced someone who was once dead", Leoran says, nodding back toward the tavern.
Agreed. We need to regroup and see if we can fine my father, Leoran says as he starts to make his way toward the front door.
Seeing an opening, Leoran takes a heavy swing at Keldo. ,
"Don't worry about where my father is. Worry more about me sending you back to your maker."
,
"Keldo!", Leoran says with a sneer. "You should be dead! I saw the light leave your eyes. Something is different though. Even now, there is no light in your eyes. What happened to you?" Leoran turns to the group and says, "If Keldo is here, there is no telling where the rest of the Seven are. We should make this quick and be on our way." Leoran turns back to Keldo and rushes toward the Orc.
Leoran strides out from behind the table, Nodachi resting along his shoulder. "These men are under my care and I faithfully serve the Order of the Moon. There are some enemies you do not want to make. I have also survived the gladiator pits in Hadorak and killed beasts more fearsome and fantastic than the likes of you. If you wish to know what your entrails look like though, I will show you." Shifting the Nodachi of his shoulder, Leoran points it toward the group, braceing for anyone who wishes to charge in. Brace:
If you use a readied action to set a brace weapon against a charge, you deal double damage on a successful hit against a charging character.
Leoran stands up behind the now overturned table and unsheathes his weapon. "Are these friends of yours?", Leoran asks Flint.
Does Leoran know where his father is coming from?
Noticing the growing interest in Hadorak, Leroan says, ”I appreciate that you want to know more, but there’s not much more to tell. I didn't get to explore the city since I was forced to fight in the pits.”
"I didn't get to see the city itself. My time there was spent in the gladiator pits and the holding cells," Leoran says with a heavy sigh. "There are good people still trapped there. I wish I could have done something for them. Everything happened so fast when we left and there wasn't anything I could do." Leoran's face shifts from frustration, to anger, and then guilt.
Leoran shifts uncomfortably in his seat. "We had some unfortunate business in Hadorak. It was best to leave in a hurry and put some distance between ourselves and that place."
Leoran relaxes some and while he is less distracted, he does not appear any less tense. ”These are fair points, to be sure. The Order has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember and I sometimes forget that there are many that do not even know it exists. If nothing else, Flint has at least reminded me that I shouldn’t dwell on the past and I need to focus on the here and now and what’s to come. These are dangerous times and there are worse things to worry about. Let’s put this all behind us.” Leoran looks at Faylon and asks, ”When was the last time you heard from my father? I thought he would have been here by now, so I am concerned.”
The smack seems to snap Leoran out of his daze and gives him new focus. He pulls the flask from his belt, opens it, and dumps the contents on the ground. "It would seem that you've had enough rum. Does the Sea Queen not serve Galadan? If so, you should be familiar with my father, Darren Athlan of the Order of the Moon, loyal protector of Galadan. I am Leoran Athlan and I will be waiting until my father arrives." Leoran asks Faylon, "What is this man's name?", nodding toward Flint. I would very much like to have a word with your Captain when we arrive at the Sea Queen about the...'helpfullness' of the crew."
Leoran has been distracted and lost in thought, troubled by recent events. Realizing that he forgot something crucial, he speaks up and says, ”My Father is supposed to be coming to meet us. Shouldn’t someone stay behind?”
Leoran has taken a seat at Faylon’s table, though he doesn’t appear to be any more relaxed. ”If you’re not yet ready to depart, when will you be?”
Recognizing the contact from the description his father gave him, Leoran approaches Faylon. "You must be Faylon. My father told me to expect you here. Have all the preparations been made for us to depart?", he inquires, while keeping his voice low. Leoran appears to be anxious and continues scanning the tavern.
