Veklen here was part of a game that got dropped by the DM just after Lamm died. I would like to get him back into a COCT game. You can look in his profile for my playstyle. He was originally built on heroic array, but I can work him around.

That's okay. Rl takes precedence. Go get graduated, and let me know if you come back. I'm definitely interested in finishing.
As they are leaving, Veklen stops at the door he saw hidden in the barge. He opens it and begins to search for anythingelse of value.
Does the barge? I was gonna search that on the way out.
As Waydon performs Lamm's execution, Veklen stares solemnly, watching the man die. Thenhe reaches into the box to find out what was inside it.
Just an exclamation at my surprise about Zellara.
@Waydon. No biggie. We're all good. @DM. Umm . . . what?
Veklen stares in confusion. No, she-- he cuts off abruptly and turns to Lamm. Veklen works his mouth silently for a moment before shaking his head. He is hopeless Mercy. I cannot fathom how this can be possible, but this,[b] he gestures to the head, [b]is unbearable.
Veklen growls as he half listens to Lamm. Find anything good there Waydon?
Veklen steps back with Waydon, then speaks to him, If you think your word will clear my name, then I will relinquish my right to Lamm's punishment. So long as he is punished in some way, I do not care. Then Veklen gives a start as he begins to shrink back to normal size. Ah. That's better. He smiles than turns back to Waydon, If you are done searching this room, would you like to go back to that barge with me and see if we can find anything good there?
And the only one who's said anything about showing him mercy is Mercy. And that's her character. Everyone else is simply arguing about when and how to punish him. Veklen's only concern is clearing his name. After that, as long as he gets punished, it's all good.
But at the very least, you owe these, who sacrificed as much as you to bring him down, a chance to speak their minds before you act. For me. My name has been sullied by this man. I need a way to clear it or else my safety is gone.
Veklen bellows. Huss huge voice reverberates through the small room. There areother concerns and if you kill him with no discussion with those who helped subdue him, then you are acting as selfishly as he does. Veklen takes no actions to stop the man, but he stares at Waydon, letting his words condemn the man.
Veklen breathes in deep, seeming to grab a firm hold onhimself. A fight about this would be disastrous. We must keep our tempers under control here. However, I must ask you, Mercy, what do you plan for him, if not to kill him or turn him over to the authorities? I must admit, I see only those two.
You owe me the debt of a clear name. You, Veklan pauses with a growl, you will confess to the magistrate before too much longer. I promise that. Veklen bares a few inches of his blade. Then you will face justice.
Veklen pulls his sword away reluctantly. But he does put it away.
Level 2:
After Veklen finishes searching Lamm, he pulls his sword out again, preparing to use it on the unconscious man. He sticks it to the man's throat and as soon as he feels the energy pass through him from Gustag, he growls out, Move a muscle and you die. I dare you to give me an excuse. He grins coldly. After a moment he adds. I will let you open your eyes though.
Yeah, I had a great time. I've really been enjoying the narrative and the action. Note:As far as the bad tactics comment, that wasn't a comment from me. Veklen just has high expectations of people. Same reason he just assumed that everyone saw what he did in the barge.
Veklen bent over the body of Lamm and began searching him for anything important. Is he still alive? he asks Mercy, I'd hate to miss the chance to torture this sack of hippogriff dung. He grins baring his tusks slightly. As Gustag starts going over the healing Veklen--still rifling through Lamm's belongings--turns up to Gustag and says, You can skip me. I may have been the largest one here, but I don't think they noticed. Didn't even try to attack me. He shakes his head, muttering under his breath something about fools and bad tactics. Then he jerks his head in the direction of the Ulfen girl, Though if you're goin' with the worst first, you may want to see to your friend there. She doesn't look so good.
Veklen looks up from Lamm bleeding on the floor as the half-orc moves by. Veklen pulls his sword up and swings it in a tight arc.
Veklen stares down at Lamm. I warned you, is all he says.
Veklen smiles, baring his tusks at Lamm. Give it up. Veklen swings his sword in a large arc. Then before Lamm can recover from the swing, Veklen motions with his free hand, speaking rhythmically. His hand crackles with electricity, and he lashes out. Actions: Full-round:Spell Combat:
Cast Shocking Grasp Edit:Nice, crit threat, let's see how that goes:
Veklen snarls and moves forward over Raseri, concentrating on his sword. He swings with all he has at Lamm. Actions: Move forward to where I am threatening Lamm. Use a swift to spend an arcane point and enchant my sword. Attack (gripping with both hands):
Veklen steps back, moving his hands methodically, pulling a bit of powdered iron from the pouch at his side. Size nisbi deyil. Fikir sehrli edir. Mən oda doldurmaq üçün inkişaf edə bilər. Then Veklen begins to grow. He becomes a monster towering over the others. His voices booms, Surrender yourselves, and you might live.
Veklen looks out at his companions. Don't worry about the barge, he's in here, his voice comes out at a snarl. Then as he moves farther into the room he turns back to Lamm. Let the girl go.
Veklen barely hears the protests from his companions. When he gets to the door he opens it quickly and steps inside his sword drawn.
Veklen stops. Did you all hear that scream? He asks quickly. We should hurry, but we don't want to leave that door there he points to the barge, unguarded. Lamm might slip out. One of us should watch it and raise a cry if Lamm tries to escape unnoticed. Veklen does not stop to see if anyone listened to his suggestion, he begins to move forward towards the door at the south.
Veklen smiles. Let's end this. His smile becomes more vicious and he goes through first, leading the group.
Nice, two 19's in a row.
Veklen looks up at the crates in the corner. He points Over here? and starts moving to the crates. He looks for an opening behind the crates as he begins to move them aside.
As he works Veklen says, I think I found where we're looking to go. Quickly figure out what to do with the children. I think Theanna could stay with them, he suggests.
Veklen looks around before nodding. Yeah, we're gonna take care of Lamm. You just stay here, it'll be alright. Where is he? And Raseri? You said bellow, bellow where? He looks around to see where to go next.
Okay, Veklen says, standing up, holding his head in his hands, Let's go then. Now, the question is do we all go through the back, or do we bother with that side room, splitting up some? Veklen nods his head to the side door, his voice becoming more preoccupied as he goes on. If the other rooms are as small as these, we will not be able to fight effectively in this large group. However, if the dangers are more dangerous, we may wish the larger group. Perhaps if we split down the middle, that would leave four in each group. Four should be able to hold off most problems, especially considering the element of surprise. . . . Veklen trails off as he looks around. Where did Theanna go, I don't see her.
Veklen smiles at his old friend, Yeah, I remember you were never smart enough to protect yourself properly. he laughs a little and pats his chain shirt.
I'll accept your help, Veklen Grunts. We've all got issues with Lamm, and I'll welcome anyone who'll help. Veklen stands and looks around at the group. Anyone need armor, a sheild or a flail before we go?
Ah don't worry about it. It's all just for fun. Besides, I thought that she and Veklen would have been a great part of a team.
Lol. Reseri? I saw that and remembered having heard it before. I didn't realize you had been Reseri until I went back to look at it all.
Now the other questions. Children? Traps? Lamm? Quickly before I lose my patience. Veklen pulls tightly as he ties the man's hands, punctuating his point. After a moment Veklen glances at the newcomer, then he adds as an afterthought, Oh, and don't forget to tell us where the girl he's asked about is.
Veklen wipes his sword on the cloak of the half-orc beneath him. He puts his sword back in its sheath and begins to search the half-orcs, looking to Waydon to deal with the sleeping man. If you need some rope for him, I brought some along.
Welcome aboard!
Veklen growls as he watches the men come through the door. He shakes his head, then begins the motions to cast his spell. He points it at the half-orc. Then Veklen quickly steps forward and swings before the half-orc can react. Actions: Spell combat: Cast Frost Ray then take a 5' step and attack.
Ray of Frost:
Attack:
"Call my friend a b~!*~ one more time" Dreqar threatens as his ears flatten down he runs two fingers down the blade of his rapier, tapping into his arcane pool, enchanting his blade. He walks up to the hurt half orc and strikes at him.
