Character is ready, other than equipment. Nothing fancy, just the basic stuff from class / background + selling stuff he doesn't need (rations, waterskin, stuff like that). I'll get down to writing that when I get the chance. That said, I assumed no knowledge of the setting is ok - having an INT of 7, plus being 1 year old does hide the player's lack of knowledge! :)

Let's roll!

Falken puts his hand on Karlov's shoulder once more. "I understand your position, and that would have been mine as well, but our hosts know the terrain better than we do." He makes a step towards the entrance, but stops abruptly, then turns back towards Karlov. "Are you... uncomfortable in tight spaces?" In the back of his mind, however, he can't shake the feeling that this looks like a good place to ambush them... OOC Insight check to see if they're not telling the whole truth, but with a roll of 4, I guess not... :)

Falken looks at Karlov, and offers a friendly smile to the comforting reply. He taps on the priest's shoulder. "Thank you, my friend!" Apparently re-invigorated, the hunter picks up the pace. He asks Willa: "What are your defensive positions? How much time do we have?"

Falken lowers his head and sighs in exasperation, his right hand rubbing his face. "I'm sorry...", he whispers. "I said I'd bring you to safety, but this is not what I said it would be." He grabs his bow, takes a deep breath, and follows their hosts.

It does, and I was kinda hoping for that, just because people tend to select backgrounds with feat - between something and nothing, people tend to prefer "something". Of course, it's a bummer because some backgrounds in my short-list do provide a feat, so I would have benefited. I don't mind - after all, I'm going with a 7 and a 9 for stats! :)

Some background provide a feat. Do you allow such backgrounds, and if so, does the feat provided by the background replaces "All races EXCEPT Human Variant (or Custom) get a free Feat", or does it add to it? In other word, can someone get 2 feats at level 1 by selecting a background that provides one? I'm asking because there are a few backgrounds that would fit my concept, and some do provide a feat.

Character creation rules: HP can be rolled for or averaged out. Does that mean: You decide if you roll or take average first. If you roll, you live with whatever you rolled; Or: Use the highest between your roll and the average?

Image generated by AI, because the best I can do is a stick figure. Gromm Race: Warforged Gender: Male Age: 1 Class: Barbarian, Wild Magic Alignment: Neutral Good Character concept: a recently created Warforged, freed from a cruel creator, exploring the world, trying to find himself a purpose. Appearance Gromm is a 6'8", 310lbs mass of wood and steel of a monotone greyish-brown color, looking like a heavily armored hulk. His entire body is covered in dwarvish runes, except for a smooth faceplate. His face, locked in a menacing appearance, prevents him from displaying emotions, and conveys the appearance of someone how's going to bulldoze through anything. He always carries a shield, and his weapon of choice is a warhammer, enhancing his brute appearance. In reality, Gromm makes every attempt to avoid damaging things. He is curious, but his limited intellect prevents him from understanding anything but the most basic of things. He does not talk a lot, but his lack of intelligence is obvious by the way he speaks: simple words and phrases, refers to himself at the 3rd person, and he speaks in monotonous tone. Plothook Being a Warforged, Gromm has received the signal from the Sunless Citadel. He doesn't understand it, but finds himself compelled to go there. Background An old dwarven artificer named Oritik Ashaxe, living in hiding in his caves underneath Hoarfrost Mountains, thought he could create a Warforged better that those created in the Last War. He intended this Warforged to be his servant, but also his bodyguard. However, his ego was matched only by his beard, and his experiment, although not a failure, did not live up to his expectation. As much as his creation attempted to fulfill his duties, it was never good enough for the old Dwarf, and he did not miss an opportunity to punish the Warforged with pain whenever he could. This went on for almost a year, until the Warforged built-up frustration and anger could no longer be contained; he rebelled, and attacked the Dwarf. In the confrontation, the artificer casted a spell that accidentally ignited explosive substances in his laboratory. Unknown to the Dwarf, a water vein passed near the far wall, damaged by the explosion. The weakened wall could no longer hold back the pressure behind it, and water began leaking. The artificer understood what was happening, and ran away from the laboratory. Within minutes, the leak had expanded, and water was rushing in faster and faster, flooding the caves. The Warforged, not understanding what was going on, stayed there as the cave was getting flooded. After a few hours submerged, he realized he could leave though that new opening. Since this was his first venture outside of the cave, he thought that the world was simply filled with water. So he walked. And walked. And walked. Eventually, he crossed the lake, ending up on the other side. Amazed by what he was seeing, he kept walking. Eventually, he was ambushed by a band of goblins. While he defended himself, the goblins had the advantage of the numbers. Fortunately for Gromm, a group of adventurers happened to pass nearby, and helped the Warforged, who learned that good people exists. After the battle, the adventurers asked for the Warforged name. Having never spoken before, he attempted to say something, but the only sound that came out was a growl, so they named him the same as it sounded like: Gromm. Gromm traveled with the group for a while, but recently felt an urge that led him to Oakhurst. Other Loyalties. After escaping, Gromm found that there are people that can be trusted. He's loyal to those fighting with him Is Might Right? No. Big. Fat. No. Gromm was "born" to serve someone more powerful, and he rebelled.

Falken silently curses at himself for not spotting the archers, doubting his abilities. He listens to Kain's speech, then Haakon's, before voicing his position. "I led them - well, some of them - here to seek refuge and safety in numbers. I was brought here for those same reasons long ago after I got stuck in this cursed world, and I figured I could help others the same way." Motioning around, he adds: "Things seem to have changed since I was here. Was all of this the work of the Talon?" The pikes up front are obvious, but he wonders if an undead attack had weakened the settlement prior to the arrival of the Talons.

Falken resists the urge to take his bow in hand, as it would send the opposing message that his companion are proclaiming. Not being the optimistic one, the hunter is on the fence as to someone... or something watching them would be be a threat or not. Hopefully, if they are being watched, as Kain says, they are survivors. Only time will tell. He rejoins the group, scanning around for whoever Kain has felt. He quietly reports his findings: "The lack of fresh prints suggests there hasn't been movements in or out in at least a couple of days. Horsemen were here around that time - I'd say at least four of them. I'm guessing those would be Talons." Actions Perception

As the joy of finding a familiar face settles, Falken returns to reality. "Hold on! That's not right! This place wasn't in such a bad shape! It's been attacked, and the impaled bodies is the calling card of the Talons..." His face takes a worried look. He proceeds to look at the decaying corpses, trying to get an idea of how long they've been dead. "There might still be survivors inside." He proceeds to the nearest door, hoping that not everyone was killed. Action Rolling for Nature or Survival (both are +4) to get an idea of how long ago the bodies have been dead.

Falken was visibly bleaker as they lost companions. He felt he had failed them. But he finally reached their destination, he seemed less morose. As the other group comes into sight, he seems to regain hope. But the sight of his friend Harin is the catalyst that is able to bring a smile back to his face. He has to force himself out of the strong handshake, as if he feared of letting go. Harin, as always, has the right words at the right time, and Falken bursts out laughing. "Not this time!", he replies in elvish. Regaining control of his emotions, he returns his sight to the structures in front of them. "It's been a while, but I admit my memories of the place looked a little better. Then again, perhaps I have unconsciously... embellished those memories since we had barely escaped a fight at that time..." He re-seats his gear to redistribute weight properly, then adds: "So, shall we go in?"
