Spoiler: various rambling edits (click to show/hide)

edit 4: new sheet:
http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=1031871

Since we have a rogue I swapped sneaking for Gathering Information, mostly. The other CHA skills are covered by the group, and diplomacy doesn't really fit with the character anyway.

I am currently near-incoherent, and my backstory idea for Changeling is... flexible... so if you have a preference for their connection, now is a good time to post it.

You could always take Wild Cohort for a mount/flanker/scout/whatever.

Not exactly a master either, but it certainly seems to be a decent setup. Rogue acts as a skillmonkey, Cleric (And I believe FS as well) can take quite a few hits, the Hexblade can debilitate the enemy, and the bard...Well, the bard can't actually do that much, but that's kind of par for a bard.

Hexblades get d10 HD and ive got 16 con so I can take a hit too..

I started, bit it didn't just come out easily, so I fiddled with my sheet instead...

Edit: Harbinger, I like the idea of riding a badger, but both my feats (will) make me slightly more useful, so I dont really have a spare. Hmm.

Too bad Harbringer had to eat those bad clams. We coulda started already!  :P

Anyway, I'll take the chance for yet more pre-game Rp, though pretty short for now, since we are getting thrown right into the dungeon soon.

Crab, actually, I think. Possibly the squid.

Anyway, Changeling Rogue is the kind of Character that's, well, been a lot of characters, so if you have a preferred connection with them, just mention it. Essentially, they don't really have a fixed long-term identity, so, you know.

Humm, but would I know you're a changeling? Or do you need to make you a cover story? Were you that Drow Galley Chef who made those delicious sausages during his months on the good ship Maloral Yla?

Either/or, though given the number of individuals in the party, all of whom have to have some connection to each other, it's likely that at least a couple of people know Changeling Rogue is Changeling. Alternatively, they could all know it seperately under different guises, which has hilarity potential.

Ok :P

*poof*

Osirio rubbed his eyes, yawning. Soon there would be enough men...and a woman...to start Osirio's Bold Men, he mused. Even if it was only four. He thought back to his past, wondering who else he might know-who would come to call.

He remembered back to his times on the seas. The Maloral Yal...he had made many good friends there...but, not many he would trust on land. There was the one, however. The one who made the excellent sausages! She was an excellent company cook...and, the woman had always bragged of her warrior brother, a famous Drow hero whose name he couldn't quite recall. Maybe he could hire them both at a discount.

His contacts came through in a few days, and he hoped his letter would find her in time. It seemed she was quite the ghost, that one. He remembered her as a somewhat quiet young girl, with a...winsome spirit, he supposed-who you could talk to for hours without getting bored. Telling her all sorts of things, he recalled, really felt quite natural. He had even told her his second name, and everything about his first teacher...almost no-one else knew those things.

Dear Ithra-Etheaste Freviir
Ithra, my darling-did I spell your name right, after all these years? I certainly hope so.

You will remember me, I hope-I was your friend on board the Maloral Yal as we sailed the Steaming Seas. Osirio DuSirc, your good friend. I remember you fondly...our good galley chef, tough as Ironwood, and no slouch with a meat cleaver. You hit me with a fish when I tried to kiss you. I probably deserved it.

I am eager to speak with and see you again. It has been a time, but perhaps we might speak of a grand opportunity. Osirio is making a group of mercenaries to be based in the City of Aretrian, to start. I have obtained a charter and already, I can barely keep up with the amount of new recruits clamoring to join "Osirio's Bold Men", name pending. This one has often thought of you over the years, and wonders how we might meet once again. In short, he is offering you a place of honor in the company-and not only for you, but that dashing Brother of yours. I know you have his ear, and will be honored if you can persuade him to join us as well. His blades and stealth are renowned across the land...though, not ~too~ renowned, am I being right? And, you make excellent breakfasts. I, Osirio, am in need of both.

Please, my dearest friend-write back to me and tell me what you, and your brother think, and we can speak more. I can promise excellent pay...and grand adventure. You used to tell me you dreamed of sailing the stars, and I told you of my past. Ah, how young we were then...is it too late for dreams? I hope not.

With everlasting friendship
   Osirio DuSirc

Turning away from the small second-story window overlooking a grimy alleyway, where she had been watching a pair of shady humans work on opening a well-locked door, the plainly-dressed human strode over to the desk to the side of the nondescript room, sitting at the desk chair and reaching over for ink and paper.
Drawing a carefully folded letter from a pocket of her cloak, the drow glanced over it briefly,

and began to write.
Quote
Dear Osirio,
Of course I remember you! How could I forget? I have encountered so few with such ability to curse in Elven, and so few fellow sailors with such an aversion to cold water. A good thing the seas we sailed were so...
warm...
Alas, I am pressed for time to write this, so I shall be brief: I have not been in contact with my brother for some time, as I believe he is currently engaged in
delicate business in Aretrian. However, I am currently between jobs, and was considering a change of location to The City to track him down, so your offer is quite convenient. I accept in principle, pending negotiation.
Till the Sleepers Wake,
Ithraeheste Fr'Aviir
The drow carefully folded and sealed the letter, before tucking it away in her cloak. Standing, she turned and moved towards the window, stepping delicately over the corpse of the elf lying facedown in the center of the room with a dagger in his back, and waited there for a minute until she heard the door to the room open.
Glancing back at the pair of shady humans who had just entered the room, the wood elf twisted his face into a vicious smirk and leapt out the open window.

Niiiiiiiice does that mean we are ready to go?

I'll see if I can get a reply to Osirio done but there is something else I could be doing if I manage to find time to type, isn't there Dwarmin... ;)
