Personality Traits

My friends know they can rely on me, no matter what. To me, a tavern brawl is a nice way to get to know a new city.

Ideals

Respect. The thing that keeps a ship together is mutual respect between captain and crew. (Good)

Bonds

In a harbor town, I have a paramour whose eyes nearly stole me from the sea.

Flaws

Once someone questions my courage, I never back down no matter how dangerous the situation.

That's all for now! Maybe I'll write out some of their stories later, or maybe just as they show up in the story. ^^ A few of them are inspired by Critical Role, and some of them don't even really have backstories yet, haha.

But! I will say that there's an Easter egg in here. . . can you find it?

Session 5

After returning to Sanctum, Krepsis and K’myr go to their shared room with K’myr’s new friend, Belneras. Sometime after going to bed, K’myr is crying in her bed for reasons unknown.

~

As you fall asleep, you all experience a dream. It’s a strange thing, because each of you is aware of each other’s presence, and before you stands a city aflame with a single figure visible.

He seems oddly familiar, in fact, he looks just like Amilcar, but whereas Amilcar is a paladin of Omnis, the great white-horned stag god of all things, this man is a darker version of him. White antlers replaced by black, flaming horns, white armor instead black and cracking.

~

The next morning, K’myr takes the troupe day-drinking for breakfast beers. After happily speaking with the tavern’s owner, a silver-haired halfling who insists his hair used to be orange and demands to be called Orange Lightning, the group is carrying on fairly well, even Krepsis is deep in his cups and being much chattier than normal.

Suddenly, the door to the tavern opens and a haggard-looking Amilcar steps in wearing a tattered gray cloak and overall looking tired.

Pinenut, Krepsis, and Torinn all jump on him with the, “you’re secretly evil,” mentality while all K’myr wants to do is talk to him and ask him questions like, “Are you okay? Have you been travelling? Do you need some help?” however no one at the table lets her talk.

Amilcar tells us that he has just come from Ettein, and the town has been mostly razed to the ground and is surrounded and under siege by an army of the undead. The way he describes it sounds remarkably familiar, and Pinenut uses Minor Illusion to show Amilcar the dark version of himself we all saw in our dream.

Amilcar himself is confused – why is Pinenut showing him this? What a mean thing to do, but K’myr clarifies that everyone had the same dream and all the paladin had described was what they had seen. Down to the little details.

Immediately the paladin is concerned, asking questions to understand if we experienced a vision or possibly something else. While our story doesn’t have the telltale signs of vision or prophecy, Amilcar is certainly still concerned for our wellbeing, and announces that we need to head up there to investigate. He also mentions that we are not the rescue party, just a group being added to the effort, and to watch our backs.

After fighting some skeletons, zombies, and an undead minotaur, the party is making its way through Ettein as people are being evacuated and undead run rampant through the streets. Also, Amilcar himself has chosen to come with us, so we’re being escorted by a level 20 paladin. Not bad, right?

Oh, also there might be a lich of some kind just hanging out somewhere in this town. Fabulous.

Sanctum of Light

My last screenshot of Pyriel, my husband's retribution paladin.

We're already up 7 levels since I started! Super excited to be helping out, and I hope my husband likes the improvements. ^.~

Azsuna, here we come!

It's a Pally!

Hey guys, oh my goodness it's finally happened!

I finally decided to ask my husband if I could log into his WoW account to help level one of his characters. ^^ I don't want to level his main because that's pretty personal to both of us (no one touches the mains! lol) so I instead chose his 3rd highest level: the Paladin.

So I'm finally able to help him in another game, meaning you'll get more than just Diablo 3 and Dungeons & Dragons updates, haha. ^^
