Sojourn's page

"Greetings Azara. Greetings Daon. That is quite the introduction, I must say." begins Sojourn at the sudden and mysterious appearance of the pair. "I am Count Sojourn Twillbender and these are my companiions. You may share the fire and our camp if you kindly state your business. Be fair warned, strange business is afoot. Pray tell you know of it? Might you have business here at this old cathedral, mayhap?"

Dolo does his best to be disarming and charming while still on guard from the intrusion.

"Judging by the looks of things, I'm not the only one this site has summoned."

Sojourn nods in grim agreement with the elf. "Aye, I suspected as much. I was given a strange vision directing me here as well. I figured others had received a similar vision when I saw you and Ardra here. Glad to see you have a camp set up while we wait for the day of the winter solstice. Perhaps others will jion us before then."

Sojourn takes the time they wait to talk with Braelin and Ardra.

Each morning Sojourn will summon his eidolon and cast his pre-cast spells - Mage Armor and Greater Magic Fang on Azrael using his Rod of Extend.

Sojourn will make his way slowly up to the campfire to introduce himself to Braelin, then greet Ardra. His draconic companion follows closely behind, looming large behind the small gnome.

Sojourn is unusually small, standing just six inches over 3 feet in height. His hair is a lustrous blonde hue, like that of a morning sunrise. He wears it spiky and unkempt. His skin is light tan, like the color of sand from a pristine beach. He has an overly large mouth and large eyes as well, giving him an odd, child-like appearance. Despite his youthful profile, his piercing blue eyes are hard and cold.

"Greetings sir" begins Sojourn, speaking to Braelin. "I am Count Sojourn Twillbender, envoy of King Godfried, the Fourth. I am a collegue of Mistress Ardra, whom I believe you have met." He gazes at the man, sizing him up.

To them both, he asks, "What brings you to this specific location? I don't believe it to be a coincidence."

Sojourn and his companion, Azrael, quickly identify a familiar face camping near the old cathedral they were called to. 'Strange to find someone I know at this very location...'he muses.

Sojourn removes his veil of invisibility and calls out to his friend Ardra before getting too close - no need to provoke any hostilities, especially with a stranger in their midst.

"Hail Ardra! Well met my old friend!" shouts Sojourn from a fair distance. "It's me, Sojourn!"

He waits for a reply before approaching further.

Sojourn finishes up his messy business of punishing a criminal to the king and begins his mysterious journey to the place shown to him in his vision.

He makes preparations as he does every day, by bolstering his faithful companion Azrael, his eidolon. Magical armor and armaments are applied in case there is trouble at their final destination. He disappears with a twist of his ring and calls forth a powerful spell. With the image of the destination clearly in his mind, he centers himself and the world simply absorbs him and deposits him near the old cathedral.

As he arrives, he quickly dons extra clothing to protect himself from the biting cold, wishing he had learned the spell allowing him protection from the elements.

Upon arrival, Azrael scans the area, using all of his keen senses to determine if the area is safe or not.

Their arrival marks two days prior to the onset of winter solstice. Sojourn wanted some time to scout the area in an effort to gather some clues as to why he was beckoned.

Would it be better to just put off the start until after the holidays are over?

Yeah, I'm okay with that as well.

Whatever works for you, Leshok.

When we get closer to being done with characters I'd like to discuss strategy and maybe a practice session or two before we move forward.

I don't see the point. In the roleplaying context established, we've never met each other before, so we're not coming into this as the "A Team". Teamwork is something that's going to evolve by play. For those who haven't run high level characters before.. it's going to be a learning curve, but I'm okay with that.

PBP games move slowly enough. I really don't want to do weeks on a practise session before getting to the meat of the campaign.

I concede - no meta-gaming per the DM request. I respect that.

I'm ready for the kickoff when everyone else is.

Brynn - I like the new avatar much better. I added up your gear and see about 10K+ still on the table. I'll gladly help you spend it if you want. ;D

LazarX - thanks for the heads up on the HD situation. I fixed it in my profile.

Leshok - Sojourn is ready for review.

TEAM - I would recommend a way to see in the dark. I would also recommend a good way to travel (flight would be best).

I am mostly done. I have to tweak my magic item and gear list and figure out my weapon strategy.

I have no STR so will most likely go with a ranged weapon. I'm hoping I don't end up in melee often.

Adrien, I have posted my alias with background. I would like to collaborate on how we know each other.

Thanks

I would love to play a summoner in any PF game. I am currently playing in Council of Thieves at home so I would vote against that one.

I have played several games on this board that have died and I am actively involved in DM'ing a Star Wars game (almost to 1,000 posts).

See my character profile for my specifics.

If Second Darkness is too dark for this character's sunny disposition, I can easily alter his background accordingly.

I would also be interested in playing this character concept as a Tiefling. Council of Thieves has a good alternate Tiefling build I would like to use.

Here is my submittal of Sojourn, the Gnome Summoner.

Thanks,
