He lingers outside the tavern door until all the party have emerged and falls into step behind Van making an effort to keep to the shadows.
Draven is going to attempt to melt away into the shadows without being seen. He's got pretty good Hide and move silently skills, what would the DC be?
If he makes it he'll only be gone for about 10 mins, he knows where the temple is so should be able to catch up with the rest.
For future info should I post this here or as [ooc] on the in game thread?
Well say you are going to melt into the shasows Ill let you know what happens Hide would be the first then the other but I think I will switch that to one roll for both, called "sneak". I think this is in one of Monts Cook's books
Appearence:
Van is 5.11 with long golden blond hair and light brown eyes. He is 25 and wears a black good quality velvet cloak. He isn't muscular but his body seems a bit athletic. He has also a staff at his hand.
Background:
Van is born in Martira Bay. His family is wealthy. His father, Kaving, is a wizard too and lives in Martira Bay with his wife April and Van’s little sister Zoe. Van loves very much his family and when he can he visits them.
When Van’s parents realize that their child is very intelligent, much more than common, they decide that was better for him to go to the Academy of Magic in Port a Loucine. There the wizard lived there 5 years. As the wizard becomes 19 he called a hawk and made it his familiar. Because the hawk was very intelligent he named it Ace. Soon after decides to leave the Academy and start a new life as adventurer. So he returns to Darkon and gets in an adventuring band. At his party were the dwarf fighter Bevared, the human fighter Kelgon, the human cleric Smarn and the rogues hafings Elvira and Fussin.
With his party Van had many adventurers. They traveled to Nova Vasa, Barovia, Mordent, Dementleiu, Paridon and Tepest. At their travels they killed many evil bandits in Darkon and Dementlieu, 2 werewolves and a vampire spawn in Barovia. They also killed some evil fey to Tepest, an evil necromancer with his skeletons and zombies in Nova Vasa and they forces a ghost to rest in a haunted house in Mordent. They managed also to ge ta famous gangster in Paridon. They were together for 5 years, but then Elvira and Fussin decided to have children, Smarn decided to get married, Kelgon to go South Core and the dwarf wanted to turn back to his home in Mounts of Misery. Van didn’t give up though, he cannot think himself have a normal life without excited adventures. He joined some other parties or did adventures alone, but often gathers with his old friends and they remember the old time passing together.
Personality:
Van is spontaneous and unpredictable, but he has also a sense of justice and often waits the best moment before try something. When he plans to attack someone or go somewhere he wants to be prepared as better as possible and calculate all the possibilities in order to prevent something goes wrong. The evoker hates when something unpredictable happens and gets him by surprise. He wants to have the control of the situation. He wants to have a plan, but if he will follow it is another issue. Sometimes another thought gets his mind and without warning he decides to do something else from what he has planned. But that don’t happen often.
On the other hand, Van hates waiting doing nothing, he gets nervous. He wants to have something to do; he is a man of action. So some times he provokes the fate and gets some risks even if he knows that it isn’t the right time to do something. But he does that only when he is well prepared and when he has at least an idea what it is going to happen.
Also the wizard likes stimulate his mind. So at his free time he likes reading and learn knew things. He considers knowledge very important to survive. But most of all Van likes everything has to do with magic. Studying books of magic or talking about it is his favorite passing time. Because of his love to magic Van has traveled a lot and visited all the big libraries and Academies of Magic in North Core and Paridon. At the Academy in Port a Loucine Van lived 5 years studying magic.
Despite Van is a powerful wizard quite everything he does is for getting something back as money, knowledge, spells or even prestige. The evoker likes very much being respected and known. He has done many things in order to get a good name. He likes very much when someone recognizes him and when adventurers or even common people come to him asking help or advice.
Van relays very much on his magic and he is very proud to be a wizard capable to do further more things than a normal person. He enjoys demonstrate his magic and what he is capable to do. However, despite he feels a bit superior from the others; he doesn’t underestimate his enemies or his companions. He knows that as he is capable to cast spells, others are capable to do other things.
He likes being in party with intelligent people, with who can have conversation and can learn something. But with his companions Van is more an ally than a friend, he has to know someone well, have lived things with, to consider him a friend. He will help and protect his companions as he can, but he will not open his heart to them. For his friends on the other hand, the wizard can do great sacrifices without waiting to get nothing back. Very few people the wizard considers as friends, only his family, a few realtives and his original party.

- The first 2 Feats a wizard should take are "point blank shot" and "Precise shot"!

I consider in all fairness that Marentuo, Valerian and Tarlyn saw him. Just cause you are in the fron does not mean you are not paying attention to your surroundings.
Now if you guys and 1 gal like I have decided that instead of using both hide and move silently, to combine them into one skill called sneak. I forget which book it is in but if you have ranks in both Hide and Move Silently, keep the ranks of either one for Sneak and the other one put the skill points elsewhere.
Steve
so much for being a badass thief eh? Cant even sneak on a dark street at night, doesnt bode well for Dravens future!
"Excuse me Mr Lukas could you look the other way whilst I go through your pockets for anything interesting? No? Oh you want to eat me, well if you insist..."
Tarlyn I'll pm you with skill amendments.
"I had a dream, which was not all a dream.
The bright sun was extinguish'd, and the stars
Did wander darkling in the eternal space..."
Het Tarlyn, you forgot to mention to your character description that in Sournage you have met a brave, sympatic and excellent swordsman ex-assassin! Dadrag Sotris!
Only a joke between me and Tarlyn!

I am looking at everyone's AC and realising that yes I said no magical Items, but I dont want you all to die either!. So everyone please chose any 2 items that can give you an additional +3 AC, ok? I.E Amulet of Armor and Bracers or something like that.
