"So fast already... I suppose some of our neighboring lords might want your lands for you have good variety for trade while most do with fewer thing..." as Rickard runs his chin "Not to mention our current already beastmen"

Moments after Andreas presentation Rickard comes back out "I only went to the kitchen to cancel the dishes that they were going to start making my Lord Auroral" as he claps his hands and a couple of serfs bring in some fruits and dried meat from the storage, accompanied by some red wine. "Shall I call in the rest of them? as Rickard looks at Akela and the Kobold but only smiles and says nothing.
Calein is half Shiranai, even tho he takes more to his Shiranai heritage, he served under the former master-at-arms of this household. Belneiros doesn't ring a single bell, you suppose he does keep to himself. B. Bellephor is a theologist and astrologer, best in the region and makes you wonder how much he is costing. He specialties in divination and abjuration mostly and creation of minor magical trinkets and defensive items. B. Verzar is a very devout follower and was recently assigned to House Rammsteiner, which is no more, but he was assigned here because of the region belief in Faia. He is more of the preaching and researching kind. He does have some healing spells he is known for his burning determination to scour undead if he ever hears of one and is known to bestow the purifying flames of faia to weapons. Burnsten Woller is faintly known as a charismatic and somewhat problematic with women...
Decius Norfire is born to a small banner house of Olistan. They are renown for their Black Magics and Dark Knights above most things. Decius Norfire has a grim reputation about him and natural air of authority. You haven't heard much of his prowess but you remember him being recommended by important people anyway, makes you wonder why to a certain point. Deverau... it's like he doesn't exists, you never heard of him. [/spoiler]
"Well his job is a complicated one m'lord because you will usually never see him working on it even when he does... that is his kind of job... you might have even already met him and don't even know. Do you wish for his presence m'lord despite his wounds?"
"Yes the Belros Brothers, former small retainers for the former Rammsteiner House. Their family just fell off to history and the change of times m'lord." giving out a small smile "The are entertaining to say the least, just don't start them on a debate over knowledge because you will hear both the religious and the literate sides, but... it might end up in a heated debate as it always does and more since they are sibling. On the bright side Belneiros is someone you will rarely see unless you hunt or travel much, he is a quiet man and very dutiful." Moment's after Rickard speaks a serf comes in a whispers something in his ears. "The missing person form the list has returned, but sends his apologies for he is... am.. hurt and will try his best to attend if summoned."

[b]"The missing person form the list has returned, but sends his apologies for he is... am.. hurt and will try his best to attend if summoned."
"M'lord!"[/b] as he vows and then just nods at the rest "Gentlemen" I have brought you a list of those new to their station and bring them before you if you wish to see them one by one and interview them. Rickard hands the list of names to Lindynt
When you are done reading and giving it to others or not "M'lord just one member of the list is... unavailable at this time but he will arrive shortly, he is already working"
"Immediately m'lord, I have 2 such scribes that tend to this type of matters and will send them to you"
"M'Lord I'm glad I could be of service, I do understand your current predicament, but I am here to help on these matters" as he vows in respect. "I have taken some liberties for you and added some needed people in Important positions that we were lacking so you can focus more in your duties m'lord"
A clearing of the throat can be heard as a young man comes in dressed in a red tunic with golden trimming. Ser Jorus announces him as Rickard Forcae the new Steward. Vowing deeply to both lords "My Lord Lindynt does posses such evidence if I may be so bold my Lord and approach Lady Olistan with the writ in paper Lord Reinholdt, now Patron and holy overseer of this lands in the name of the Scarlet Princess" as he brings out from his tunic a parchment and looks for Lindynt to approve of his actions.
"State yourself plainly, we have no interest in riddles. Are you asking us to kill this woman?" I tire of this games As I start touching lightly the pommel of my sword. Diplomacy I'm pretty sure you can think of another errand that is actually worth the price of horses that you use as fodder for your menagerie anyway.
I knew it with a flare of anger in my voice There is always a catch! and looking at the fat man wishing my look would cut him down like a hot knife on butter... not that he doesn't look buttery already...
Look... we just want to do about our business and like my good friend here says, and before he goes rabid looking at Lorth Just give us the horses like we were supposed to get from you and there is no harm done... yet... Diplomacy
I hate this kind of games... They just waste our time...
Thinking to my self This guy is going to squeeze water from a rock if he can, give him something else to squeeze on fat &^%&^*
I keep to my self just looking a this overgrown potato sack talk or more likely spew things out.
Rickard is still here.
As I turn around to talk to Lorth Ok... er... scanning the room to find them and cursing in silence as I notice they are stumbling along the way against an old fart with a book that is stumbling for it like it was made of solid gold. I approach as fast as I can M'lady Tenobia a hand to help you this way as I offer my hand also to Zeltrina when it's her turn to pass by. Lorth were are you! I know you are missing an eye but you are suppose to guard the rear of the group and with a sly grin I will have teach you not to forget later on when I get the chance soldier making a distinct remark of his lower station as a grunt. Trying to look more intimidating since Lorth itself is intimidating to look at. Damn he is one ugly recruit but we don't keep him for his looks but his skills
Like m'lady has stated nodding towards Tenobia with respect I have ore important things to go by pray excuse me waiting for everyone to go in until Lorth passes by I give him a cold stare to and a wicked smile as I then just look at him with indifference and make my way to the table.
I open the doors that lead into the tavern and giving a menacing scowl to all present so they will make way for Commander Arnad and the rest of the retinue.
After checking that everything is fine and I find a table for our group I signal the rest to come in holding the door for them to pass pointing towards the empty table I found. Clear! Table is over there Zeltrina with a slight bow of the head but keeping an eye around the tavern.
"Well this is impressive.It looks as if we should have no trouble finding mounts here. You are right considering horses are basically fodder here I shudder for a moment Wonder what other things are used for food here...
I shurg at Tenobia Well I guess the boss Arn is right, they will be lending us the horses to arrive to a certain location, so we sould be thieves if we don't show up Aye! Your always so cheerful and by the looks of it he has got some hefty amounts of pain or at least his horse
Sounds like a pretty fair deal to me poking Lorth with the elbow He wasn't such a bad chap after all
Speaking casually to Zeltrina This a lone man Zeltrina and we are not here to entertain scuffing and almost spitting the words I mean no disrespect to his "Grace" of course making what would be a formal salute to the knight in a sarcastic way. After listening to Tenobia speaking It is an honor alright with sincere words We also need some help that is true too and friends are short supply I hope we can befriend him, might have to use my charm on him if I must
Falling behind and making sure everyone is accounted for, to guard the rear of the group just in case something does happen.
Well he might hire us to be some sort of escort
Perception
looking at the long line At this rate we are going to be in tomorrow afternoon as he looks at his companions I will welcome any ideas
Well, I'm fond of this character as he might be fun to finish of decently after all. I like the idea of a lizardman don't get me wrong also got the background and all but let's just finish with the one we have for 3 levels.
Very interesting if I can I might come up with another character lie a lupin or lizardfolk always love those races ^^
Ready to go!
Alive and kicking
"Squad!" his commanding voice rings out, "Weapons out, back to back!" Nodding at the captain order "You heard the man! Move it or I'll use your skins to make a new squad banner you slugs! Intimidation to get them to act quicker
Then I'll change some things from my character to reflect that.
Gradually sitting up and spitting some dirt, wondering what just happen and in what moment he wet from yawning to biting the dust. "Someone is gonna pay for this one boys" after rubbing his eyes for a moment trying to recover his sight.
After listening to the battle noises "Oh hell! Common boys shake it off and move it or I'll beat it out of you" looking at the weird scenery and unfamiliar place "Seems we got sucked in to a mess"
Added a bit extra to the background and finished up the character so you can review it in case something is missing.
Tobar, I'll need a bit more detailed background if you wish to qualify for bonus feat or traits. Try to incorporate in your story how you got the traits or bonus feat, whatever you prefer. Well, I think my background is decent, but not that spectacular to warrant a feat to be honest ^^ unless you are feeling VERY kind. Regarding nicknames, that is workable since there are 2 sergeants I can come up with a couple of names muehehehe (just kidding). I noticed there is no Standard Bearer or Lieutenant position is that on purpose, or just so you can keep a nicer/smaller party I suppose?
Presenting Rickard Forcae for review. Edit: I'm going to ask a good friend of mine to hand me his copy of Green Ronin: Black Company d20, just so I can read more about it since I'm totally new to those novels and world, besides I only know that is grim and evil xD
Oh, well I remade the background already, and started to change things around in the character.
I'll submit Rickard for your campaign, looks like I'll take the Healer spot. Will make some changes and if needed I'll roll the stats again.
Congrats guys, I know you are in for a blast (or two) with nightflier ^^
Well I got my character up and ready to roll, just missing a description probably, I'll check later in the day and do it if need be |
