Detailed Description

"When the gale finally ended, we found ourselves approximately seven days normal sailing distance due south out of Specularum, in the Thanegioth Archipelago. We replenished our supplies, patched up the ship, and traded our remaining goods at native villages along the shores of several islands. Some villages were friendly, but others were hostile and the natives attacked on sight. I suspect the hostile villages were filled with cannibals...

  1. What's new in this game
  2. I think somewhere said we saved our equipment in this scenario. Thanks.
  3. I am hoping at the least we managed to save our equipment and mounts. Having purchased one I would hate to have the poor thing die before the game even starts. 😉
  4. Needing to finish purchases, how ship wrecked are we? Nothing but the clothes on our backs or has the ship run aground and can be uses as a base until it can be refloated?
  5. I have to imagine the dwarves are going to . 😛
  6. Yah! Let's take a bath in the sea, and make a spectacular entrance on the beach almost drowned. :)
  7. Alright, looks like most characters are finished up at this point, so we should be on track to start as scheduled. Also looks like the majority vote is for the shipwreck scenario--I applaud the courage! It'll make for a fun, slightly desperate dynamic.
  8. DESCRIPTION Beaumont stands almost six feet tall and is well muscled. He has long, wavy dark brown hair that falls just past his shoulders. He has the beginning of a dark brown mustache and piercing dark blue eyes. He wears dark brown leather boots, black pants with a broad black leather belt and a dark grey long-sleeved shirt. He wears a suit of plate armor. Across his back he wears a simple blue-gray cloak. Attached to his belt are a silver dagger and fine mace. Strapped across his back is a sheathed normal sword. Over the scabbard he carries a backpack filled with various items. Around his neck dangles a holy symbol. PERSONALITY Beaumont is eager and determined to rid the Known World of any and all vampires. It's an obsession for him. Besides that, he is very confident in his abilities and those who get to know him though will find him a most loyal companion and friend. He is very kind and compassionate at heart and will go out of his way to do the best he can to help those in need. BACKGROUND Beaumont was born and raised inside the city of Specularum, the capital of the Grand Duchy of Karameikos to Guerrand and Selera Visconti. The Visconti family was a wealthy, yet untitled family that owned the land that their larger than average estate was built upon. Guerrand, although not a lord, was close to it as he was a well-known follower of Vanya, the Patroness of War and Conquerors. More than once he and the company that he commanded had been called upon to put down some uprising or to quell what would have become a full-blown riot. And he had been handsomely rewarded for his efforts. However, his many successes also earned him a lot of enemies. One of those many enemies was one Rael Donabriaggo, a vampire that one fateful night decided to exact his revenge. The creature slipped into the estate and made its way to the master chamber. There a fight ensued during which, Selera was knocked to the floor unconscious and Guerrand was pressed up against the wall with the creatures hand pressed firmly against his throat when an unsuspecting Beaumont entered. The vampire hissed at the young man just before sinking its teeth into Guerrand's neck. Beaumont rushed to help his father but was knocked back by the creature's incredible speed and strength. The young man crumbled to the floor next to his mother where consciousness fled from him. When they awoke, there was no sign of Guerrand. It was at that moment that Beaumont gained a special hatred for vampires and quickly learned everything that he could about them. He then worked and trained hard so that he could take his father's place as a follower of Vanya. Now, he spends his time searching for any sign of his father or Rael Donabriaggo as he wanders the Known World searching for vampires to vanquish. That should do it for Beaumont. He is ready for review.
  9. OK, I've added writing materials, casting bones, and a tarot deck and subtracted 10 gp... if you think they should cost more, let me know. Otherwise, I think Ognena's finished unless you have other feedback. Thanks!
