Shocker

Kaspar enjoyed his stroll on this nice autumn day, right up to the moment the rather martial camp came into view. The number of armed men, in combination with the unknown sender of the message, made him a bit nervous.

“Blue and white colors, and the intials A.L. who might this be, I’m long enough in town that I should know the colors of most noble families. It better not be the Longtree’s or I’m going to be in trouble.”

(OOC does Kaspar recognize the heraldic colors?)

Upon reaching the waiting man at arms, he walked with deliberation towards them smiled confidently and presented the note.

“I think I am expected, please announce me to your master.”

Kaspar reread the his landlord had handed him this morning, with a careful mention that another night of performing was expected of him, or to pay for his rent in hard coin. He had agreed to another performance as he loathed to part with his money, and loved to show of his talent, even if it was in just the common room of a tavern.

The letter promised a chance for change, the writer was clearly a person of means and education. Perhaps he had heard of his fame as Bard and wanted to employ his talents. For some time now, his prospects of performing for the nobility had become rarer and rarer. So he performed for room and meals in the inns and taverns of Anchorhead for the last 6 months. He wondered sometimes if it was time for him to move on.

He quickly checked his appearance in the looking glass. As it was his custom, he wore the long white hair tied together with a silk ribbon, ensuring his elven ears to be clearly visible. He might be only a half elf, but there were so few of his kind around that his narrow beardless features and the eyes like molten silver were already certain giveaways of his heritage. So instead of hiding it he emphasized his being different. It increased his chances of being seen, which was a good thing in his profession.

This was also the reason that he wore his stage costume, of blue pants and coat, with red and yellow trims. The dashing hat with the red feather completed the outfit. Buckling on his rapier he left his rooms, and left for the meeting with the mysterious A.L.

He set out in long strides, confident that he would reach his target at the appointed time, even without going to the expense of renting a horse.

Ok. Some time on IMDB because I can't for the life of me remember any of those movies offhand - its been years, and I'm guessing Red River. I didn't find the exact image, but the costume looks about right and his face looks to be a similar age.

just proves the validity of diligent research, yes this is Red River.

I thought i start with something not to hard.

Well, it's John Wayne. It's not Fort Apache or True Grit based on costume. Probably from some time in the 40s based on how young he looks.

Good assumptions, it's actually a performance he would have deserved the Oscar for, much better than True Grit. I'll leave it open for 2 more days (three days seems to be the norm here)

Just trying to figure out the controlls here.

Let's breathe some live into this thread

Name: Kaspar of Ederthal

Race: Half Elf

Class: Bard (College of Lore)

Background: Entertainer

Money: 220 GP

Appearance and Backstory:

Understanding at an early age that his mixed blood always will make him an outsider, Kaspar gave up on blending in, on the contrary he emphasizes his being different moved from the hinterlands to Sauscony to become the skilled storyteller he is. If there is a center of attention it's were he will move to.  His shoulder length white hair is held together by a velvet ribbon, allowing his audience to see the silver eyes and elvish grace on his tanned features. When on stage his costumes are flamboyant and colorful, but as the skilled artist he knows to adapt his appearance to the cause.

Kaspar is talkative and flamboyant, he simply loves to regal his audience with long stories of  heroes of a bygone era.

I have read and agree to the expectations.

I don't know what kind of a play style i prefer, most likely a healthy mixture between narrative, mystery and combat.

Okay, looks pretty good.  It is possible he spent time at the court of the Grand Duchess, though not as the primary bard for her, naturally.  The angry nobleman could be one of the courtiers or vassals of the Grand Duchess.  You're in!

Thank you, very excited about this. The posting frequency shouldn't be any problem. Also perfectly fine with your suggested additions.

@Shocker Okay. Answered that question for myself. Type the asterisk then start typing the name and choose it from a drop down menu that will appear. Just don't go too fast as it takes a second or two for it to pop up.

@Draiddenfor me still only my own sheets pop up, but then again you perhaps are already further down the acceptance process than me.

Not sure how we go about getting rid of the bad one I entered.

 

Our duplicate screwed up entries will head to the next inn and get hopelessly drunk together. It also looks as if only Grendel will have to deal with those duplicates as other players don't get to see the sheets, which makes also sense.

Thanks Shocker. I had just figured that out and was typing my message when you sent yours. 😉

It's a cooperative game after all 😉

Okay, I tried that. I have no idea what it wants for a source code. It says it is mandatory. I put in the title without a source code and it shows it there, but says it is an invalid source code. I was just expecting it to make a folder and I would but the character info in that folder. Not sure what this is trying to do.

 

Sorry for the confusion.

I got that part figured out. Go to your character sheet, and copy the id number out of the url, this is the ID number you will need for the source. 

Sorry that I created a double entry under the character sheets. Those entries can't be edited once created.
