Yaz gives the big smith a nod as he looks about the place.
After a waking with a headache and feeling his years, Yaz is a bit frazzled on the way to breakfast. He rallies after some food though, and joins the group headed to the forge.
With a good buzz going but nothing fun to do, Yaz sulks in a corner and nurses his drink. This assignment was going to take some patience, clearly.
Yaz get's a drink and sulks about not being able to get into any of the games.
Yaz tries to get in the game
Yaz, never having developed much skill at stealth or subtlety, peels off from Lefty and heads for the nearest dice game while loudly calling for a drink. This place was definitely more his style of establishment!
Downing the rest of his pitcher in one extended quaff, Yaz slams down his drink and says "Right. No time like the present." and heads to the door with a loud belch.
Yaz, about 3/4 the way through his pitcher, is getting a bit loud now. In a stage whisper that can be heard throughout the common room he asks the barmaid if there is a place in town that 'isn' so damn quiet?!?' He is itching for some kind of action, whatever that might be.
Back in the main room, Yaz is about halfway through his pitcher and making unsubtle eyes at the barmaid. He's got a smile on his face and a decent buzz going, all he needs to round out this pleasant visit is a good fight.
Yaz's plan is the same plan he has for every situation. It's probably not a good idea to let Yaz do the planning.
Yaz shrugs and says "I thought maybe one o' you might like to get the lay o' the land round here, find out what people think o' this lord and whatnot. But if ya want to just rush the keep, I'm game." and he takes a heavy drink from his pitcher/stein.
Yaz stands with the pitcher of beer in hand like a large stein that he is quaffing. He says “So what do we know now we didn’t a few hours ago?”
Hoping to enjoy himself a bit before some stuffy strategy session in a cramped room, Yaz leans back and says "Oh, maybe after a few beers, yeah?"
Coming in with Valessa, Yaz gives the barmaid a wink before sitting with the others and saying "When does the beer get here?"
Yaz shrugs and sticks with Drost and Valessa. He says to the others "We'll be along presently, I'm sure"
Yaz looks to the others and says "I be hopin' some o' the more social gifted of the team might go get the lay o' the land?" The northerner might not have much in the way of social grace, but he appreciates the intel it can give.
Yaz, who already has a reputation for collateral damage, just smiles and nods. Nobody wanted bystanders to get hurt, him included, but when combat breaks out, everyone's plans will go to the wind.
Yaz, more in agreement with Tobar and Zero, shrugs and says "Ya, o' course we will. The plan seems fine. We'll see how long we can keep up the ruse."
Not at all, just means the rest of us need to raise our game.
Yaz would have preferred a more straight up assignment, but you don't get to pick the jobs that come in. Having been a slave he has no love of Cheliax or the institution, so nothing he has heard so far much troubles him. The only question he has left is "When do we start?"
"Alright" says Yaz, trying to be practical "where can we get some mistletoe and ribbon so they know we are on the same side as them?"
Yaz just stands back, not at all sure where this conversation is going, but enjoying the ride.
Yaz waggles his eyebrows playfully and chuckles "Nah, I'm sure I look more presentable now than before." He is already thinking about how best to capitalize on the moment of confusion the illusion might cause when a fight breaks out.
"Can't say I much like the sound o' it either." Yaz adds, thinking about the devil dogs. "No point in worryin' about it 'til we get there though"
Plopping a hat on his head, Yaz says "Alright. When we leavin'?" He's not particularly know for his patience.
Yaz gives Shelly a broad grin and a wink, but nods seriously at the talk of Chelaxian devil-lovers. He nods at Pip and says “We got a cover story? How will we know the agents already there?” Questions about the morality of this Baron are problems for another day, so far as he is concerned. Best get there, get the info they need, then assess what and who needs breaking.
Yaz nods to the rest of the team as they file in, but reigns in further outbursts until Pip and Shelly detail the mission. The air around the big northerner is noticeably colder, but not uncomfortably so.
Yaz enters several minutes after Valessa, and is anything but quiet “subtle? Mayhap I don’t know the meaning o’ the word, but it seems to me that with miss shine and polish and meself, ya sorta got the opposite. So is the subtle part gonna be handle by someone else? Cause me and the Grey Lady have skills more leanen’ toward breaking skulls”
Looking forward to this! Unlike Valessa, Yaz very much does not want to be anywhere near fire spells. He whole heartedly welcomes all the cold damage you can throw at him though.
Yaz could use a review as well.
Yaz updated with the new spending caps, changes to the Frostrager, and added Ayla to his backstory.
Character updated, full sheet in profile. Ability scores fixed, traits only from APG. I'll add to the backstory as we get more characters.
Simple enough. Here's my Frost Rager. Background: Born in the far North, Yaz’s clan had always had a somewhat fraught relationship with the Frost Giants they lived near. Ever seeking an advantage against the towering raiders, they learned to harness the spirits of ice, infusing their warriors with primal cold. Raised in this tradition, Yaz embraced the totemic might of his clan and fought against their giant foes with all his might. And lost. Discovered several days afterward by a band of traders, Yaz remained in a fevered state for weeks as the band journeyed South. By the time he was recovered he was nearly a month’s travel from his homeland, and the traders prisoner. Sold into slavery, Yaz toiled for several years as a laborer and pit fighter before joining his fellow slaves in an uprising and slaying his master. On the run, he joined the Wild Wolves, and has been with the mercenary band ever since.
