This is the thread for all things related to your specific character. Feel free to start brainstorming on your character, and if you need the handbooks just PM me for a link. One thing that I am asking everyone to do is come up with three things you would like to see/do/etc in the game, from having a ballad written about you to battling your evil twin. These can help me figure out what each person wants to get from the game and personalize it. If some of these deal with the other players and you want to keep it a secret, just PM them to me. Have at it!

TBD No longer. I'm in!


Fizzwig Kettlecrank - Gnome Rogue

Looking suave as shee-it and all set to STEAL STUFF!

Some are born lucky, others...

Riot rolled a 16 15 14 13 12 10. Not a bad score line, but he just didn't like the look of that 10. Neither did his puppy:



So what is a GM to do? Well naturally you raise the stakes. I said he could replace the 10 with the result of a 3d6. Not a 4d6k3, a straight up 3d6. Riot enters stage left...



The dice had spoken. Even the puppy approved!



So if you guys find a poor cursed gnome wandering the wilderness at the start of our first session, please take pity on him. Help him find the evil cultist that has done this to him and restore his precious common sense. Or you know, just take advantage of the poor wee lad.

Fizzwig Kettlecrank - Gnome Rogue

Session 1: Formerly captured by kobolds, (who were grumbling something disturbing in draconic about "Tributes" "Sacrifices" and "Blood Offerings") Fizzwig took advantage of the distraction offered by the party's rather raucous appearance to use Mage Hand to free himself. With no regard for common sense or personal safety, the little gnome launched himself at the nearest creature, which was taking aim at the party from behind a nearby rock and attempted to tie it up with it's own rope. The kobold in question was less than pleased by the sudden appearance of his former captive, fumbling around at knee-level with rope, and gave Fizzwig a poke with his spear. Undeterred, the little fellow displayed remarkable acrobatic acuity as he vaulted up the shaft of his aggressor's weapon and landed (crotch first) on the kobold's shoulders.

There was much flailing as Fizzwig attempted to get a better grip of his opponent (using the kobold's long ears as reins) and his erstwhile mount attempted to throw him off. Eventually (as the gnome must have still been stiff from his capture) the kobold succeeded in forcibly unmounting Fizzwig. Before it could do any further damage though, the party arrived, first de-panting the kobold by Mage Handing it's loincloth down to it's ankles, then knocking it to the ground. The temptation to conduct any further misbehaviour was deflated by the dagger that Fizzwig now pressed to it's private parts. As it looked around, it realised with dismay that all it's companions lay dead, their various body-parts strewn throughout the valley.

"Tell us what you know, you ugly bag of teeth or I will ride around on you A SECOND TIME!"

. . .

The danger passed, the gnome brightened up at his rescue and introduced himself as Fizzwig Kettlecrank, before attempting to recruit the party for a further quest:

"My new friends! You must come with me at once to the Drunken Druid Tavern! There we must delve the depths of the ornamental fish pond and retrieve the mighty ring of regeneration from the belly of the under-guppy a fearsome bottom dweller! Only then, will we be able to transform my gnomic brethren back from their current captivity as lawn ornaments to being normal productive members of society."

Although "Detect Inebriation" was used, it really did seem that Fizzwig was dead serious about his "Quest".

There was something a little... odd about the fellow and his tale, which seemed to contain both a ring of truth *and* the unmistakeable aroma of utter bullshit.

Something about him merited further investigation...
