Ravenloft: Origins OOC-Chat

[VAN]

Of course I know Elminister, I didn't rememer the place though. So I guess Inovidil will go with Brethana for some time. I hope Raf let her visit the most famous bearded wizard in the Realms! It's the best place to get spells! Yes! Eveything for magic and spells!

[Le Noir Faineant]

How dare you!? NO ELMINSTER IN MY GAMES!!!

UM I was just telling VAN that that is where he resides eeeek

Master Fallenleaf will shake everyone by the hand and disappear into the boondocks, there to do whatever undead druids do when they aren't being saving the world, or, perhaps, failing to save the world, depending on what really happened at the end of the adventure.

Come on Raf, Elminister si a very cool character! A good granpa with a pipe! And what pipe!

What's that? I'm really curious since Fallenleaf is I guess the olnly druid lich in the realms too!

And BTW how Fallenleaf become a lich? I mean a druid is so stuck to the nature etc, how he decides to become an undead?

THIS IS SOOO DISGUSTING!!!

(Not sure if you intended it, but that image of Elminster getting it on with Mystra is something I'll never get out of my brain... That was true necromancy...)

BTW, I hope you stick with us in the new game as well, Nathan! I'll make you an offer you cannot refuse...

[VAN]

No problem Raf. I wanted Inovidil meet Elminister, yes, but she can just go there and don't find him! He is a busy man no?!

In FR Inovidil can always meet Kemb or Allustriel! I adore FR!
No Raf... don't have heartattack, that was only a joke!

[Le Noir Faineant]

NO WAY!

Seriously, you WILL meet some iconic characters of the Forgotten Realms, but most likely not the ones that you are expecting.

[Ken of Ghastria]

Blaise will likely travel with Inovidil for a while -- she knows the region, and he needs information about the power brokers in town, especially the religious ones. (They're most likely to raise an eyebrow if they suspect that there's a new warlock in town, especially one from another world.)

He'll hear a lot of interesting stuff about Shadowdale, so he's probably responsible for getting Brethana sidetracked there. After making shady contacts there (one never knows when a new identity may be needed), he'll adventure with Shana and whoever is accompanying her. (And yes, he will make a play for her. ) Although Waterdeep will be his "home base," he'll want to travel with the others often: Not only is he keenly interested in pursuing rumors of faerie activity, but he's learned the hard way that a warlock should never stay in one place for a long time.

[I'll level up in warlock. The mountebank PrC in the new Complete Scoundrel is certainly an option for the future!]

[VAN]

but he's learned the hard way that a warlock should never stay in one place for a long time.

Why that?

[Le Noir Faineant]

I knew that FR would be the right choice for our group.

BTW, I'll rename this thread into... Well, something else...

[VAN]

It will not be Origins any more? It's a very cool tittle!

Why that?

Complete Mage has good role-playing suggestions for the warlock. One thing is that, well, warlocks tend to give people the willies. Normal people simply get the sense that something is unnatural about them. Let's just say that there have been a couple of occasions where Blaise has been chased away by townspeople bearing pitchforks and torches! Perhaps they're more tolerant in Faerun, but he doesn't want to press his luck. It's good to keep moving.

Yes, but why you have chosen FR Raf, since you doesn't seem to like it very much?
