Here is Throg's submission. backstory: Son of a moderately prosperous merchant Tavar Lynning, lived a pretty easy life. He like many well off elves attempted to train in the arcane arts but his family found him talentless. Eventually he found his talents not in the harnessing of the arcane might but through the steadily drawing strength and echoes of power from weird and powerful tools. His favorite treasure, a broken piece of a brooch that he found came from Azlant, found among the leftovers from old caravans. He eventually reforged it into an amulet that he never takes off. After finding it he became obsessed looking for more treasures and information from Azlant finding useless baubles and treasures from several later ages of history that he left to his family to deal with. He eventually became an expert in the field and a Master Appraiser. This occult power disturbed his relations and while his family made some decent profits off of “junk” that caught his eye. His habit of collecting items, arranging them in weird places and occasionally even having conversations with them was an embarrassing and intolerable issue for them. As he aged his family gave him an ultimatum he could take the place of his brother as the leader of one of the family’s small traveling caravans from which he could sell the remainder of his collection or he could leave the family forever with not a coin to his name but all of his treasures. Unfortunately for his relatives he had already planned on leaving them after the Bountiful Venture Company had contacted him to appraise several items that they found. He agreed in exchange for the chance to head over to the location of their colony and try to search for the treasures and history of Azlant itself.

As for the marching order I would go with double then single file. It puts a good defense on both the front and back. Keeping the softer characters safer. Cole, Durahl/ Scranford, Strang/Tavar, Bizzlemount/ Merrie, Lamriel/Terion, Me’Mori A I said earlier can will craft if anyone wants anything.

I am assuming you lot are bandits of somekind, never mind I wold like to show you a my valuables so you don't kill us. As he says that he reaches into his pouch an pulls out a handful of ground mica and chants waving his arms. Well that was sudden. I think I just initiated combat. DC 18 will saves for glitterdust. I am hitting as many as I can while also hitting the boss as a primary target and the front line as a secondary target. There Durahl blind targets I hope you don't manage to miss them.

Rising from his table and untouched food a bald elf turns to the group and human woman caring his food and drink. Oh 250 gold lets see there is that one and that one so far so maybe 30 gold by the end. Well I can't find any work in this town anyway and it is better then paying for my own travel. Maybe this Morlean will have some more work. How to approach her ah that will kill to birds with one stone. K.local: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18 Tavar walks over to this group and turns to the bleeding young lady. Young lady hold still your plague of accidents means I want to check you for poison. A bit expensive for the common mugger but it would seem to be just your luck. Detect poison on her and my food. |
