I'll give it a shot with this rogue again.
The CoT AP he was in died ... in the sewers ;)

Sent submission to your email addy last night :)
Tadaaa ... Done ;) It might need some modifications for PFS, but I don't know which/what. [edit 1]
[edit 2]
"Ah ... Dear professor ... Glad you made it out the sewers alive !" Perhaps he can start where we left ... ?
I'd be up for a Council of Thieves.
This is the character I made for that PF adventure path.
It seems I'm a bit rusty ... let's see if he sees this one coming !" Pontius acts as if he wants to strike with both swords high, but suddenly has his right hand dart at the creatures heart.
"Dammit .. this is all going wrong .." With a sigh Pontius steals himself, ready to slice up some goblin.
Pontius motions everyone to be silent and to stop whatever they are doing. He whispers to the party. "Back ... to the goblins hideout. More room to maneuver." And starts moving towards the goblins hideout.
As Pontius hears the goblins he sighs ... "Great ... goblins ... just what we need."
Pontius moves to the front of the group and addresses the goblins. "Keep your voice down ... they might hear us!"
He walks up closer to the goblins and looks back at the tunnel we came from. Frowning and feigning fear, he looks back at the goblins again. "Listen, there is a group of people who really want to capture us."
Pontius pauses for dramatic effect, glancing back at the tunnel again. "Now, let us pass and get out of here ... before they kill all of us."
"I cannot offer any help in this ... Tracking is not one of my specialities ..." "Although I'm loathe to put my faith in a flipped coin ..." When the professor interrupts with his findings, he sounds sure enough. "Well, the coin and the search both say right ... right it is." "Lead the way gents ... I'll bring up the rear again."
When the hellknights start shouting I put my sword under his chin and casually say: "Rabble as we may be ... We are not the ones who are tied up ... So stop your nonsense and shut up." He then turns to the rest of the party. "Alright ... lost in the sewers ... anyone saw where our guide went ?"
Pontius stays back, seeing he's unable to reach the hellknights he watches the other side of the sewers for possible threats. I move back some more, slinking further into the shadows.
Not wanting to show his face to their pursuers just yet, he makes his way to the back of the party and hides in the shadows.
"Although I loathe to be here any longer then necessary ... if it means living to tell the tale ... I'm all for it." "So, my lady, lead the way and let's hope we find the route to a safe exit."
Pontius readies both his swords and, with a disgusted look, heads off into the dimly lit darkness behind the dwarf.
Seeing Kyras light up the sunrod, he stuffs his sunrod into his belt.
He then looks at the gathered party ... readies his two swords and asks; "Right ... who's taking point ?"
"Well, my lady, it seems our decision has hastened to our doorstep." Pontius shakes his head, thinking how the sewers will ruin his clothes.
Pontius follows Faradir down into the sewers.
Pontius gets up quickly and moves to the side of the window.
After Kyras rant, Pontius looks at him ... "Karas was the name right ?"
"My dear fellow, you seem like a person who's a bit down on his luck, couldn't this be a marvelous turning point in your life ?" "This is a chance to gain a purpose, and to put that sword of yours to good use." "I think that if we stick together and make this work, perhaps we can shed some light on the lives on the tortured citizens of Westcrown."
------ After he sees Raradir rub his temples he walks over and slaps him lightly on the shoulder. "I think we all are a bit out of our mind, and completely lost it when we entered this room."
"I think all of us have quite alot to think about, some more then others but it might be a good idea to sleep on it for a night ?"
"How about it ... ?"
"You may have a point there ..." After a short pause he continues ... "My lady, I concede, I'll join your little band of rebels." "It looks like it's a good cause, and there seem to be more people behind you in this dangerous endeavor." "Besides all that ... I could use the excitement." "Better to ride towards the gallows, helping to lift the shroud of darkness from amongst the common people, then wait for the darkness to engulf us all."
Pontius raises his mug of ale in salute. "Hear hear my lady ..." "That was an invigorating speech, even I could not have done better." "But how do you propose we start this little revolution ?"
Pontius looks around the table, and continues. "I'm sure you fine gentlemen agree that, were we to join, we are risking horrible deaths on the torture tables." "Do not get me wrong, I'm all for gaining the admiration of the people, and clearing up the night. But what you are saying here is akin to ... heresy." "What I'm saying is that I need a little more convincing then a finely cooked meal ..."
"Missing family ... Well, in a sense they are missing ... My whole family is dead. Courtesy of shadowbeasts and Hellknights." "My parents we're sent to their deaths on the streets of Westcrown."
"So ... I hope our lovely host can shed some light of what we're all doing here." "Especially since, should we get caught, this meeting is our one way journey to the infamous torture chambers of Citadel Rivad."
After sitting down he spots the ale and pours himself a mug. "Good health, a toast on a fine dinner made by our lady host." Pontius strikes up a conversation, but is soon falling into his roll as the center of the attention (for now anyway). Making small talk about the weather, the city and anything else that might pop into his head. He's trying to make everyone like him, but while talking he questions individuals at the table inconspicuously. Trying to figure out something about them.
After the dwarf enters, and sees the robed man come back for his staff, he decides to give it a go. This ragged bunch of people don't look like Hellknights or spies for them. If no one else enters the bar for another five minutes he enters the tavern. Pontius opens the door and peers inside, noticing Janiven he enters and closes the door behind him. Looking at everyone in the tavern, he says: "Greetings, Pontius is the name. Pontius Grachius." He then looks at Janiven, bows and says: "Excuse my late entry, ma'm, but I was a little suspicious about this ... clandestine meeting." "However, since I've been invited to a meal, let's start with a bite to eat." "I've worked up quite an appetite." He sits down next to Jacob, and looks at Janiven expectantly.
Pontius stakes out the tavern, waiting if more people come.
If more people come, he waits a few minutes before entering the tavern. He needs to make a fashionably late entrance, he also wants to have a general idea of who's inside before he decides to go through with this meeting.
Fixed :) Spoiler: I don't see his hit points anywhere. (Should be 7 as far as I can see).
Fixed this +1 skill bonus is from human, +1 hitpoint from favored class. I'd like to have his combat stats (attacks and damage) on the sheet. I didn't see his saving throw numbers. Initiative is missing also. If you could, please take another look at the sheet, and see if you can address these points. Then I'll have another look. Thanks!
Alright, finished his background layout and made a description of him. And completely forgetting my manners. Hi everyone :)
Apart from the lay out .. his background is ready. Let me know if I need to make some alterations.
Thanks for inviting me Havoc :) Here we go ... Pontius Grachius - Actor Extrodinaire Here's a small rundown of his background. Spoiler:
Something along the lines of acting in plays, to get invited into the ladies homes ... and rob them. The more daring, the better the thrill. It's not even about the gold and jewelry, but the adrenaline when he has pulled off a heist.
His uncle was an actor of some reknown, he has learned the trade from him. Only Pontius knew that his uncle had sticky fingers. Unfortunately the hellknights caught him, and sent him to the hellknight keep. Never to return. For this he particularly likes to target the families of prominent hellknights and his/her guests. Besides his robbing, he also likes to con wealthy people out of their money, again particularly the hellknight families. The more he can riffle them without being caught, the higher the rush. This is what he calls his payback, and their due! See Pontius a bit like Face from the A-Team :) I probably forgot a few things, but I think I have most of the basics. -TDL |
