Original poster

The Kingdom of Calmoria, a bustling melting pot of races, wealth, and intolerance. Within the capitol, there exists an alley way, protected by the myriad of winding roads that separate it from the commerce of the main roads. Owned and operated by the financial banking district, the Calmoria Kingdom Reserve, this alley is home to many solitary warehouses, but also to one small bar. Six local heroes have been sent invitations to meet with a representative of the company, for a lucrative business opportunity.

History:

Searos is the unruly son of a well-known but wholly regular blacksmith. Inability to focus on following in his fathers footsteps led him to stealing one of his fathers greatest pieces before setting off for Calmoria, earning his bread as a sell-sword. A freak occurrence with a supply caravan landed Searos in the middle of an orc assault, garnering him some reputation as a fighter as the bloody events unfolded.

Bale was born with two aspects that were to define the rest of his life. The first was an affinity with magic, its construction and channelling into objects of enchantment. The second was schizophrenia.

His father was never known and his mother, convinced the child was possessed, turned to the village in her despair. And though many elders screamed for Bale to be burned alive or abandoned in the deep forest, it was the local cleric of Saint Cuthbert who prevailed. The old man took the tormented boy under his guardianship and raised him at the village church. It was a childhood of copious study, regime and of wrestling with the laughing, cursing voices that echo in his head.

But in time Bale was to learn that the cleric's motives for taking him in were less than savoury. What began as strict discipline and fatherly tirades escalated into all-out beatings and unprovoked punishments. The cleric had taken Bale in precisely because they shared the same condition. And as Bale's schizophrenia faded the old man's grew worse. Bale lived from day to day avoiding his mentor's wrath, studying in secret and learning how and when to make himself discreet.

This continued till the age of fourteen when, without warning or motive, the old man ordered Bale to leave. And so across the plains and through the woodlands he wandered, selling his enchantments to ward off starvation, till in time he arrived in Calmoria and became just another of the city's lost souls. And by then the scurvy brought on by malnutrition had weakened his bones and brought a resurgence in the voices that haunt him.

History:

Son of Ardyn Hymlock and Lesena Cordswort Rodri has very few memories of his elven father who left the city when he was still learning to walk due to social pressure. Lesena eventually remarried and Rodri grew up the son of Gredor Hershoot, a human in the town guard. He and his childhood friend Derek Brightholm would often talk about becoming knights together even while doing some of the very unknightly things small boys do, and Rodri applied to be a squire, but was turned down as the fact that he regularly gambled with his step father's guard friends and cheated (It's not cheating, they do it too! It's leveling the playing field.) was known. Having applied in secret he never got to tell Derek that they would live their dream. Refusing to follow his father's footsteps as a guard viewing them as knights but less so he found his own way to serve the city, dealing dirty with those who make their business out of dirty deals and so working with the lesser evils of the city to find and expose the greater ones working along side the guard, and his erstwhile friend.
 
I'm not going to bombard you guys with excuses, but I won't be posting until sunday. If everyone wants to move on before then, please, go ahead. Peng will have a salad.
 
Well, try to get in some discussion by sunday everyone. I'm busy most of the time until sunday night, and then when I get back i'll advance it regardless
 
I think Vay means burglar. o_o
 
Silence. Clearly you are being asked to steal bovine for a local up-and-coming, mafia-endorsed, burger chain. Burger Prince.
 
He clearly had beef on the brain.

Vay, don't post when you're hungry.

Also, don't make any sudden loves.
 
Feels appropriate. NSFW - Bad words.

post coming up tomorrow. sorry for the delay but work has been keeping me busy
 
Is it safe to assume that we know each other's names at this point? Even if they were not directly stated?
 
We all introduced ourselves at the table, so lets go with yes.
 
Not worth wasting the time on, not for this encounter anyway. Post whenever able, just once a round. *Copy/Paste Asmo rules*
 
Hmm... a 10th level encounter...

*teleports back to his tower*
 
For a party of combined level of 15. What are you, a pussy?



But really, the dicebox wants to fuck us.


Edit: But seriously. THINK OF THE XP
