I hope the lvl 1 table fills!
Sadface. I've not been in the campaign for a bit, but I've been reading.. The shy wizard really grew on us..
Crappily, I have to withdraw. Too many things going on to reliably keep up. Good luck all and thanks for your time whtknt
I agree =)
Sudara smiles as he sips a cup of hot water. A strange drink maybe, but one he liked. It reminded him of home. "I'm sure that Kami would want me to donate my share to a poor house or something, but he's can stuff it. The treasure splits sound fair. For now, the ol' spear and I are good to go. Goblins were a threat back home too.
Sudara considers the loot. "Maybe if we point out we find it we could ask if they intend to do anything with it? If anything they might offer it to someone at a discount?"
Just like Juda, I Ben Hur.
Sudara doesn't have much trouble with the climb. Neither does, Kami, who has a natural climb speed. When they are through he sets up his spear and recasts his light cantrip, just in case it's necessary.
Sudara steps forward and jabs at the rat again with his spear. Once more he is rewarded with the sound of scraping metal on floor.
Sudara pulls back his spear and growls at the Eidolon. "You failed as well, great ancestor."
Sudara, who had already been brandishing his spear as a light source, steps forward and stabs at the rat in front of Kami.
The spearhead stabs the dungeon floor. "Tch. Quick little monsters."
Sudara follows with his group, whistling merrily as he holds his spear out for light. He places a hand on Sequins shoulder. [/b]"Good luck and keep an eye out! Just a little something to help."[/b]
"Kami. Just...call him Kami. Think of him like a very big version of a wizards familiar... only I can't get rid of him for good. I can banish or summon him from the heavens, but he is always mine and such is my curse." Sudara readies his spear and casts a light spell on it's tip. He then pulls his mask over his face and prepares himself for combat, should it be necessary. "Kami and I must travel together. He may be imperious, but that is my cross to bear and I swear him to be a valuable ally. We can go wherever we are needed."
When they are alone, Sudara holds his arms out and begins to concentrate. "While you guys check your gear, give me a moment please." For the next minute Sudara stands with a wide stance and his arms outstretched. He chants in celestial, beginning a long supplication of various deities rarely mentioned outside of his own lands. The Ox, Rat, Pig, Rooster, Dog, Monkey, Sheep, Horse, Snake, Rabbit, Tiger, and Dragon all are given proper names with various supplications made to each. As he chants, a wispy form begins to appear, starting as an insubstantial mist. The form begins to swirl and settle as a serpentine creature resembling a long sinewy flightless dragon with scrabbly legs and foreclaws. Golden scaled with large eyes and a red beard, the creature roars fiercely before stretching and settling near Sudara. It observes it's surroundings, then spins back to face the summoner.
Sudara comes in a little behind the others, having rolled back over for a few more moments after Hagnar awoke them. The benefits of a private room, he supposed. He comes in on the group mid-breakfast conversation and happily puts a few coins on the counter. "The groups food is on us." He points at Natalie, then smiles to the staff. "Hers too. She's part of the group after all." He hopes that inclusion by removing the possibility of self-exclusion works. If not the others would be just as likely to leave her behind and forget about her. He stops by her for a second, long enough to stuff a piece of ham and his fried egg between two halves of a biscuit. "Don't worry. We won't make you do anything you don't want, and you can ignore us right up until it hampers teamwork if you want. Or if you get nervous, just picture us all in our underwear or something."
Sudara sighs. Where timidness was cute in a woman, in a companion it really didn't have so much appeal. "Probably for the better." He gets up as well and heads to his room. In the morning he would have to deal with his ancestor again, and that was always frustrating.
"I offer my spear, wards against evil, and my skill in the Celestial Art. My Eidolon is young of body, but capable and will only grow stronger." Much to my detriment... thinks Sudara. He turns around in his chair and looks again at Natalie, but figures a meeting of this type might be too much for her. He turns back and starts again on his food.
Sudara shrugs and takes a swallow of beer. Bread and cheese and beer had to be one of the best food combinations one could enjoy. "It's a small town. We could probably ask all our questions about all of the jobs in a matter of an hour."
Sudara is pleased to see Natalie socializing, even if it's not with them. Her shyness is endearing, but he figures more than anything she wants to be left alone, so he does just that. Instead, he look back to Reigar. "I saw that post too. Bandits are about... and so too is an expedition near a historic old fort. Either of those are a good cause...and Quasqueton's ruins seem interesting if we can find them."
Sudara had been quiet, poking about the town on his own for a bit. He had visited the job board and made his own assumptions, which was also that vermin removal seemed like a logical first step. He was going to ask a few of the travelers if they wanted to help, but it seemed like the group as a whole was already leaning that direction. "Ah well, should be an easy day then." He scoots up a seat with the others, leaning his spear near him at the wall. He orders bread, cheese and beer and also decides that if one is available, he will want a private room for the tenday. Privacy was important. He ponders any regional history that might be attached to the mask. Regardless, who looks at Reigar and says with a smile, "That mask is a lucky ticket for you Reigar. She's part of a Gnome-seeker cult. It's socially awkward, so they wear masks, but it's a sure sign she wants the companionship of a Gnome. I hear they are incredibly aroused by both the physical makeup of a gnome and the tawdry uses one could find for their many inventions."
Interested, Sudara watches the exchange between the dwarf and Natalie. He found her shyness somewhat endearing, but was glad he hadn't needed to rely on her in a moment of danger. That she possessed the talent was interesting, she didn't carry the haughty airs of a wizard at all. He was also glad he hadn't tried to summon The Ancestor, as he likely would have scared her out of her wits. Seeing Fergor offer to escort her about, he figures he had better go with the group for a while more. He didn't know enough about the man to judge his intentions quite yet.
Sudara considered the question posed by the guards. He wasn't quite sure his answer would be what they were looking for. Even the timid mouse had a better reason for travel than he did. She was traveling because she wanted to. "All of us are come because there is something in your fine town. I know you are simply being the best sentry you can, but please allow us in. We bring money and not a hint of trouble." He eyes Lucian and Hagnar...hoping they won't make him a liar.
Sudara watches as his traveling companions each bellow out loud answers to the men at the gates. He adjusts his traveling clothes and stands out and in the open, clear and in sight. While traveling, he leaves his mask and hood down. Such things were meant for battle with the spirits, as it was well known they could enter through your nose and mouth and steal your soul. He answers the challenge. "I am Sudara, a traveler. May we please enter?"
Starting Gold. Sorry about the sudden bombardment. This is the first I've seen this recruitment thread! I've been playing for awhile, but as a younger guy I've never had the fortune of playing any of the old famous dungeons or adventures. In fact, I've only played in home brews. Never an adventure path! Sudara is a character concept I've envisioned for awhile. I was hesitant to submit him as there is a selection process and a lot of DM's hate summoners. Sudara is far from a min-maxed guy. I plan on swapping every two levels between ninja and summoner, as these two classes fit my picture of him best. He will excel at a couple of knowledges, some ninja skills, stealth, and some magical support and minor combat ability. Even though he is made up of ninja and summoner parts, his spell selection and actions will make him more like a priest without the heals. Sudara is supposed to be styled as a Celestial Servant. That is, his entire life is dedicated to maintaining the order of heaven. His Eidolon is his most powerful ancestor, who tutors and strengthens Sudara to better use him to maintain the order that he strives to protect. A time will come, sooner or later (upon retirement) that Sudara must surrender his body to his ancestor so that the ancestor can be reborn. Sudara does not like this, but will not surrender his duty. In his character profile, I will be keeping an IC journal of his experiences. Again I am sorry for the late submission. I DID get it in before the cutoff though! I'm crossing my fingers!
Spoiler:
Looks like I have... 12, 16, 18, 14, 13, 15. More to come! I (at the last freaking minute!) would like to present Sudara, the Ancestral Champion.
I'm withdrawing my name from the hat. Thanks for the info on the Epic 6 system.
Would you like me to reroll my stats or just reassess what is most important?
It probably doesn't help I don't know the first thing about Ravenloft. If he's worried about someone running around in black pajamas with ninja swords, I can squish that mental image pretty quickly. Admittedly, it's the class abilities of the Ninja that interest me. Ki pool access and more interesting tricks are what draw me to the class.
Hrm. I didn't think there where any classes in the ARG, which is the advanced race guide. I assumed you meant the APG, which is where I thought the Ninja came from. (Of course, I was wrong. It comes from the UC.) Main reason I went ninja was I wanted some synergy with charisma as I am going sorcerer later as well. Poop. Character concept squished. My rolls also don't make a lot of sense anymore.
Ready to go as well. Sudara is a Fetchling Ninja. He knows he is different, but he doesn't know exactly what he is. He also had the misfortune of winding up with a 6 wisdom, so I plan on playing his not all sane. I plan on going Ninja 2/Sorc 4 with either the void-touched bloodline or the shadow bloodline. I'm leaning toward void touched. Sudara is desperate for acceptance. His life as an urchin was pretty terrible. I plan on keeping up his journal regularly, adding his own warped perspective to what we see and do.
