Hello...I am interested in joining this adventure. This would be the character I would like to apply with.

Thanks


Male Human Investigator

Will see what I can come up with....


Male Human Investigator

Its getting really bad again...this is the 3rd game in the last few months I joined and it died before even the first adventure...it is very discouraging.


Male Human Investigator

Was just wondering that myself.....is the DM still around? Maybe drop him a note to see if this is still a go or not.


Male Human Investigator

Hmmm..Milo has deception, bribery and intimidation ... maybe adding negotiation will make him useful in those situations when we need to bluff our way into or out of a tight place!


Male Human Investigator

Milo smiles at his big friend and nods.

"Your right of course..but it just so hard to tell when you are frowning in happiness or anger!"

He jokes with his friend but he too is wondering were their next pay will come.

"It's been a few weeks since our last employment. I hope something comes along soon or we will have to give all this splendor up!" he says gesturing around the crampted, almost empty room.


Male Human Investigator

Milo chuckles at the trollkin's antics.

"Why in such a good mood this evening my friend? Did someone find a new friend to play with...hmmm?"

The older human laughs and sits down at a table where a number of small tools are laid out. He takes a small tin of wax and begins to go over each item lovingly, making sure they are well protected from the damp weather.

"I could always, you know, find something interesting for us to do. I know a few people who would love to hire us for..errmm..work!"

It is an old argument, and Milo is only half serious. Since going legit, he has tried to stay away from such people, but his reputation sometimes proceeds him, and he and Mao did make a very good team in the old days.


Male Human Investigator

Milo is a leader to himself only..lol....and having to lug Mao around is enough responsibility for him!!


Sorry Mao, Milo could definitely be a part of your background. With his unusual background, Milo was once part of the underground, but also flourished as a respectable teacher of fencing. You could be a contact to his 'rambunctious' youth.


Here is a character I had made for another Iron Kingdom game, but it did not last. Perhaps he will be helpful with the Ratcatchers!!!


Male Human Investigator

While his employer speaks to the merchant, Milo keeps a watch on the rest of the market.


Male Human Investigator

Investigate!!

Milo nudges his master and nods towards the tinker packing his stall.

"Seems Pytre is leaving early. Never know him to leave while money was still on the table. Maybe he knows something we don't. Should we maybe talk to him, lord?"


Male Human Investigator

Sorry...better late...or not...

Description:

Milo stands just shy of 6' and has a slim build. He moves with a dancer's grace, but has a weariness about him. His cloths look to be good quality, but seem to fit him poorly. You feel that even if they were brand new, and tailored they would still look a little shabby and worn on this man. His dark hair is parted down the middle and slicked back with some sort of pomade that smells faintly like oranges. His thick, dark mustache is waxed at the tips, to give him a walrus-like appearance. It is in his dark grey eyes that some of his true nature can be seen, and there is no doubt in your mind that this man has taken lives in the defense of his master.


Male Human Investigator

Ok..crunch is updated..just need a background...but otherwise ready to play! (i hope)


Male Human Investigator

Will be done later today..hope to get crunch up this afternoon,..and again very sorry for the delay!!


Male Human Investigator

Well it looks like Pale King has created his noble...and I think it would be kinda cool to have a noble and his bodyguard chased into the wilds only to fall in with a Trollkin Kriel from the Glimmerwood!!

I am adjusting my character from an investigator to more of a bodyguard and spy.


Male Human Investigator

I am still here...looking to alter Milo some to make him fit the part of a noble's bodyguard a little better...if no one else is playing human, then maybe I will roll up a Trollkin and join the others....but I would prefer playing on the Full Metal side.


Male Human Investigator

Sorry was hoping to have some of my character re-worked by now, but work got in the way!!! Will be looking to maybe changing careers up a bit to fall more in-line with the outdoor-feel of the game (as suggested) and beef up my combat skills...he was originally created for a city-based adventure....if I recall correctly....cannot believe that was 3 years ago!! lol


Male Human Investigator

Poking my head in...was my build ok?? I will make up a background this weekend, or maybe work with anyone else who is looking at the Full Metal side character so we can mesh them together better.


That would work out nicely...perhaps sent in by Cygnar to protect a possible asset??


Oops..sorry, was so excited to see this post, I forgot!!

Do you have the books / PDFs? - if so, do you have just the original Core book, or Unleashed as well?
Core Book, and can get any others that might be needed.

What sort of character would you like to play?
Investigators and spy stuff.

Would you be happy with a Trollkin centric PbP? - if not, then which racial /social group would you prefer to build around? (ie. Blackclads, Farrow, etc)
Sure I suppose...depends on the adventure I guess.

Which geographical / political areas of Western Immoren are your favorite and why? - do you like Khador, Cygnar, Five Fingers, etc.
Anywhere would be fine with me!

Any other questions for me?
Not yet...will have more once we decide on the who/what/where!


Hi DM-VotV

I played Milo Dresden in your original game and would love the chance to bring him back to your new one!


Male Human Investigator

Ok..well I have a monk ninja that I will throw into the mix...if that is ok


Male Human Investigator

ok..will get character done asap...sorry work held me up!do we have a rogue-like character yet??


Male Human Investigator

I am looking at possibly a mystic thurge, or some kind of magic user..what do you think


Male Human Investigator

Sounds interesting...I will try to get something together asap


Male Human Investigator

Awesome...thanks I am looking forward to this one....and I am playing a RL IK game, and it is not as easy as it looks..lol


Male Human Investigator

That would be ok with me. i just started DMing Kingmaker here on the boards, but I would still like to play in whatever AP everyone chooses.


Male Human Investigator

alright..sounds good! Has anyone picked up the urban adventures book yet?? Just wondering what it was like


Male Human Investigator

So...are we ready to get back at it?? Cannot wait to see what happens (and hopes Milo lives out the encounter!!)


Male Human Investigator

Happy Holidays all....cannot wait to see what happens!! Enjoying the game lots so far!! just hope I wont have to make a new character too soon...lol


Male Human Investigator

LOL...Love IT!! Will he succumb to his wounds, or somehow escape and help his fellows defeat the undead horrors...tune in next month for the exciting conclusion!!


Male Human Investigator

Ummm..ok..if I am reading damage correctly, I am disabled.....that sucks! I guess next turn I roll off the injury table.


Male Human Investigator

congrats on the anniversary!! Have a great time!!!


Male Human Investigator

Milo steps back from the bodies and watches as the others jump into action. He keeps his eyes on the bodies, making sure that they do not decide to get up.


Male Human Investigator

Milo halts before he reaches the ogrun bodies and studies the markings on the ground. He is about to give a warning, when the sharp-eyed Nyss calls out. He waits as the elf climbs the farm house to get a better view.
He continues to look around the scene, wondering if he had missed anything else.

Watching too many Sherlock Holmes movies, I guess...lol. Just a quick question, with hyper Perception, do I get a boosted die with all PER-related skills??

Detection: 3d6 + 5 ⇒ (1, 5, 5) + 5 = 16


Male Human Investigator

Noticing a few inconsistencies, Milo inspect the corpses much more closely, removing from the folds of his coat, a large magnifying glass.

There is no benefit listed for a magnifying glass, is there?? I saw none in the rule book, but thought I might ask anyway...you never know..lol

Forensics: 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (6, 4) + 5 = 15


Male Human Investigator

Milo moves towards the barn. He keeps his eyes and ears open for any out of place noises or items.

Detection: 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (1, 6) + 5 = 12
Forensics: 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (6, 4) + 5 = 15


Male Human Investigator

As one of the few non-combat characters, Milo is willing to leave all this strategy stuff to the warriors...until it come time to be sneaky, or crafty!


Male Human Investigator

Milo would probably follow Sasha because he is from here and would have better knowledge of the area...but he would probably feel more comfortable with Cephas...both of them being foreigners.


Male Human Investigator

Milo looks over at the warrior and simply says, "My name is Milovich. Just a concerned citizen."

As they approach the farm, Milo watches the others ready themselves and examine the area. When Sasha states he will approach on the main road, Milo immediately heads off to one side to circle clockwise around the hold-stead. Using his powers of observation, he surveys the area as he goes.

Sneak: 2d6 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (2, 3) + 5 + 2 = 12
Forensics: 2d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (5, 3) + 4 + 1 = 13


Male Human Investigator

"Well now...I guess we are one happy family and can continue onward. How far is this farm anyway?" Milo asks, hoping to move the group on and stop the many questions that he has no wish of answering.


Male Human Investigator

Milo bundles himself up as best he can, and follows the others out into the village, then to the farm.


Male Human Investigator

"Well I guess there is no better time then the present," Milo mutters as he stands and moves over to where the Iron Fang and elf are gathering their equipment.


Male Human Investigator

Milo waits to see if anyone else rises after the big trollkin gives his speech. Just as it seems the elders are ready to continue, Milo stands.

"Errmm...Hi. My name is Milovich, or Milo for short. I would like to join this group of stalwart adventures in protecting the town from the ravages that threaten it. I hope that our very diverse group will come together and make the town proud of us."

He quickly sketches a short bow and sits back down.


Male Human Investigator

Milo listens with interest as the two elves clash.
I wonder what the problem here might be?, he thinks as he takes another sip of the foul vodka in front of him.
Perhaps it might be in my best interest to interject myself into their investigation. And the saints know that I could use the money from the bounty they are sure to offer. Maybe I will wait to see who else steps up.
With that decision made, Milo sits back and waits to see who else volunteers for this mission.


Male Human Investigator

Realization dawns on Milo.
Mercenaries! That is what they are. They must be here at the summons of the Soviet, and nothing to do with me.
With the knowledge that he is still safe, Milo relaxes a bit and looks forward to seeing how this little drama will play out.


Male Human Investigator

Faking the toasts, Milo barely lets the horrid liquid dampen his lips, but keeps up the appearance of a loyal member of the town. He notices the two elves ignore this custom, for the most part, and wonder why. His eyes continue to search the crowd, looking for more inconsistencies from the people there. The warcrafter gives him pause.
Not from Khador for sure. Some kind of Merc...maybe from Llael or Ord. Stranger and stranger! he thinks.


Male Human Investigator

Milo watches the proceedings with some interest. While his studies told him of such meetings, this is the first one he has even seen. He wonders what is wrong, that the whole council is here. Perhaps that is the reason for all the military-types hanging about....he hopes.


Male Human Investigator

DMVoV:
Thanks, and I did forget about the boosted roll for perception!! Also, as a fairly new arrival, I am playing it that Milo knows nothing about the call for help, but rather stumbled into this situation!

Milo continues to look over the crowd, marking those individuals who seem to stick out from the locals.
What the heck are all these people doing here? They certainly cannot all be looking for me...can they?
