Treanda Cartwright's page

Hi All - I just opened a recruitment thread for a Savage Worlds Realms of Cthulhu campaign if anyone is interested. :-)

Link

Me too...I'm actually playing 3 games where Mikeawmids is the GM so I really need him back ;)

Kimiko bows respectfully back at Treanda.

I am surprised, he greets me like a Nagaji. One of the few who knows our customs.

Kimiko listens to Treanda's story then the subject of the Spider.

Wait.. is that Dervago's alias?

"Sorry Treanda, tell me what do you know of this 'Spider'? Do you know how the name King of spider came about?" She asks.

"Regardless we are headed to similar goals Treanda. I feel that we can find your daughter along the way. We should be careful though there is much we do not see that will cause us problems." Kimiko says.

"My apologies Lady Fujiwara Kimiko for my poor manners in forgetting that you were not raised in Korvosa. I know little about the Spider except that Dervago is widely known as the King of Spiders and is rumored to be able to command Spiders to do his bidding." Not giving out new information, Mikeawmids had posted this as part of your briefing

"Lady, I agree that some degree of caution is necessary as the Spider's ship is surely well protected but I must add the thought of my sibling being held there drives me forward as quickly as possible. I know that I am asking much of all of you. Please know that if we survive what is to come, I will owe all of you a debt of honor and gratitude."

Mirian is stopped on her way to the Eel's End Entrance by the limping man. Listening to his story she can feel a few more stones mounting on her back. She closes her eyes and tries to focus on the task at hand. One stone at a time. She knew it was a futile gesture. Of course she would help. She wasn't able to turn down a person in need. Never had been and probably would never be. She had a habit of making other people's problems her own. As she opens her eyes her expression is determined. "What is your sister's name? How do you know that she was taken and that those that took her are here?" Mirian asks with her mind made up.

Treanda takes comfort from the determination on the young woman's face and dries his eyes.

"Her name is April, April Cartwright. Here's a locket with her picture in it." Treanda pulls a locket from around his neck and shows you all a drawing of a beautiful young woman. He quickly relates the contents of the letter he received from April and then discovering her gone when he reached Korvosa. "When I talked to her neighbors, I found out that she was being harassed by a pimp from that place!", Treanda says as he points to the House of Clouds. "I have some small skills at magic and was able to use my powers to find out that April had indeed been brought there but she only was there for a few hours when two enforcers from the King of Spiders took her with them back to his ship." The tears start leaking from his eyes again. "The bastard's ship is too well protected for me to get onto. I am at my wits end. I was planning on at least killing the pimp that started this but then I saw your friend, the Nagaji, and knowing that they are normally an honorable people contacted her with my mind to ask for her help." Treanda again wipes the tears from his eyes and looks expectantly at the three of you.

Just a note about Treanda, it takes 5 skill points to get to a d12 and 4 to get to a d10. (not the 4 and 3 you have listed) So you might want to rejig your skills a little. Same with your Smarts, you've only put 3 points in which will raise you to a d10 not d12. I think you've forgotten about the lowly d10 along the lines. :P

I can not decline the plea of such distress. Tell me first though who are you? Forgive me suspicion there has been many a psychic in my head recently. I mean no offence if your goal is truly to save your sister. I am just growing paranoid...

I did indeed forget about the d10...what a way to make a good first impression ;-)

The three of you see a very ordinary looking human limp up to you from the crowd of revelers. If you look very closely you might notice that the limp is very inconsistent sometimes almost appearing to disappear altogether. The eyes though show that the stranger is in some sort of considerable pain. The stranger stops in-front of Fujiwara and gives a small bow.

"Forgive me lady for my earlier intrusion. I normally would not behave in such a inconsiderate manner but desperation drives me." Treanda looks each of you in the eye for a moment then continues, "Please, please help me. My name is Treanda Cartwright. These monsters" Treanda gestures towards the barges around them, "have killed my Aunt and Uncle and kidnapped my baby sister. I have travelled from Magnimar to rescue her but the Spider is too strong for me to face alone. Tears begin to flow down Treanda's face as he looks at you. "Please, I appeal to your honor and compassion."

Welcome! I've never played in a game using the powers before, so it will be cool to see some in action :)

You seem to have a few errors in your build though. Rasing your stats to d6, d12, d6, d4, d6 requires 7 increases instead of six (unless my math is wrong). And raising a skill to d12 requires 5 increases instead of 4.

Ack...facepalm...I did indeed count d4, d6, d8, d12...corrected now

Going out on a limb by posting in the Gameplay thread (but Elegad told me to)

Treanda hobbles along dragging his left leg behind him and leaning heavily on his staff for balance as he approaches the barge of his choice. He looks out of place in the festering nest of humanity that is Eel's End. If anything he looks like a professor that somehow has become lost on a class field trip. He definitely does not look like the person that would be a patron of the 'House of Clouds' but that appears to indeed be his objective.

Treanda pulls up in surprise as he sees an incredibly sight before him. There is an extremely large lizard person being pulled by a young boy and accompanied by a tough looking young woman. Oh my, a Nagaji here?!? This could be the miracle I need. Nagaji are famous for their honor.

Treanda focuses his will and taps that deep core within himself from which he draws his magic. He attempts to send a probe/plea into the mind of the Nagaji.

"Please help me...they have kidnapped my baby sister (the plea includes a mental picture of his sister)"

Hi Mikeawmids would it be possible to meet up with the other characters as they make their way into Eel's End?

Everything there looks to be fine, whenever you're ready to jump in we can look for an opening to slip your character into the game.

Treanda is ready to roll. Background is shown below which establishes why he's at Eel's End.

Background
Treanda always stood out from his peers by being a bit smarter (maybe even a lot smarter) than any of his friends. Even when he was very small, he was able to read (which he did voraciously) and also picked up languages with ease. However when he was in his early teens his parents were killed when their small grocery was robbed. His younger sister was sent to live with his Aunt and Uncle in the city but they had no room for Treanda. Instead they arranged for him to go live in Magnimar with an old friend of the family who was an instructor at the local college of Wizadry. Not surprisingly magic came to him easily and he became one of the best pupils at the Academy and now has risen to the ranks of Junior Instructor and thought he would spend the rest of his life comfortably doing his research and reading his books.

His life though has just been turned upside down. A few weeks ago he received a letter from his little sister saying that his Aunt and Uncle had gone missing and men were following her whenever she left the house. She said that there was no one she could turn to and asked her brother to please come and protect her. Treanda arranged for passage on the first ship to Korvosa but when he arrived there was no sign of his sister. Asking around the neighborhood the only useful clue he gathered was that a pimp from the notorious Eel's End had been seen watching his sister who had grown into a beautiful young women.

Treanda has now made his way to Eel's End and has been using his mind reading ability to try to find his sister. His search has pointed him in the direction of the King of Spiders himself.

Mikeawmids, if you don't mind can you check Treanda as a potential character for the Curse of the Crimson Throne? I assumed 2 advances like the established characters. Hopefully that's okay. I still need to do the background and buy equipment.
