Welcome Adventurer's of Faerun! To the Moonsea! This RP will be rife with exploration, magic, combat, character interactions, as well as intrigue. It's my goal to narrate a story for you, but I greatly encourage you to explore where you wish (as a group of course, most of the time). If you choose to go to Vaasa and the frontier, there is plenty of opportunities to partake, just as there is if you decide to sail south to the Sea of Fallen Stars! To begin with, we shall find ourselves at Hulburg. You will all be apart of a group that has been chartered to seek out Tomb Robbers in the Highfells, for such acts are forbidden by Hulburg law. Not out of respect, but because the dead have been known to awaken if disturbed. Lingering magic from Aesperus the Lich 'King in Copper,' and previous ruler of the wasteland Thar keeps some of the dead from resting. You are tasked with exploring the High Fells and finding the culprits.

If you've been tagged, you've automatically got a spot in this Campaign I am creating.









You cannot put character sheets in the CS section until they are accepted by me. You can however, post 'Work in Progresses' in the OOC.

Use The Forgotten Realms Wiki for information. Try to use the lore before the year 1372. This will be just before the area of Upheaval. Also, I encourage you to PM me or reach me on skype/discord if you wanna chat (just ask for me info if you wish). I'm always here to help with lore and character creation!

Like the stats, let's not use levels for character creation. However, if you're wanting to know certain spells to use if you're, say, a sorcerer/wizard. I'd say go no higher than level 4.

Bah, damn tags. Totally missed the thread even though I checked the advanced section twice...I guess one pair of glasses ain't enough.

Still debating on what class to go for, but I'll try to get a CS up in the next few days.

Well I suppose it's fortunate. I went to bed last night and forgot to add the stats until today.

@POOHEAD189 What's your stance on warlocks? They're not exactly the most iconic class, but have been present in the last 3 editions. I'm toying with a concept in my mind, not even decided if it's even going to be a warlock, but wanted to check.

Assallya HP: -10

Assallya Kressair

Race: Sun Elf

Gender: Female

Age: 92

Class: Sorceress

Stats:

Strength: 8 (-1)
Dexterity: 14 (+2)
Constitution: 8 (-1)
Intelligence: 14 (+2)
Wisdom: 13 (+1)
Charisma: 20 (+5)

Physical Description: Assallya is a diminutive, blonde elf with long lustrous locks that cascade down over her shoulders like a river of molten gold. Her heart shaped face possesses a radiant smile replete with piercing azure eyes that can inspire calm or burn like ice. Surprising for a Calishite is her porcelain skin, snow white with but a blush of rose petals. Her flesh is pristine, contains no tattoos and not a single blemish.

Short of stature she is lithesome and willowy. Her manner and bearing change based on any number of assumed personas but in most she does not walk, so much as floats across any given room and has a habit of touching objects at random, caressing them with slender fingers.

At times a wanton wench, at others a pristine uncompromised virgin. However, when she is bent upon enrapturing a man her curvaceous hips and heaving pendulous bosom come into play, inspiring the men about her to come to her aid.

Armor/Attire: Assallya prefers her harem attire (depicted above) which involves ebony silks that cast her fair skin into shadow. She quite willingly adapts other styles to blend. When masquerading as a common thief she will dye her hair and wear soft leathers and carry short blades (that she doesn't know how to use). When masquerading as a bard she wears the attire of a gypsy, long skirts and colourful sashes. She also has a gown for dealing with nobility and simple peasant attire.

Equipment
  • Vardo Wagon: Anything one might find in a traditional home is likely in this portable home
  • A set of daggers made of various materials useful for killing exotic monsters. Not that she'd use them herself but they're nice to have.
  • Ring of the Unshod: A magical ring that protects her bare feet like she was wearing soft leather boots.
  • Comb of Comliness: A few deft strokes with this comb and hair looks silken and freshly pampered
  • Light Crossbow
  • Jambiya Dagger
  • Several trade bars of precious metals in hidden compartment of her Vardo wagon. All her saving to become a merchant.


Mental Description/Personality: Assallya Kressair is a charlatan, con-artist, dancer, courtesan, and really whatever role she can think of that gets her by. She is exceedingly good at lying and feigning emotion. Generally, there are two ways to look at any good deed. One could perform such an act out of honest good will but others look upon it as an investment by establishing a bond that can be exploited at a later date. Assallya is of the latter. She is a coward, a braggart and a bully but what she isn't is needlessly cruel nor traitorous. She would not betray her fellows, not unless the reward involved a sum large enough to alter her life substantially. After all, What use is scoring a meager gem or two in return for a half dozen angry and resourceful adventurers eager to tan your hide?

She'd probably be the first to flee when things went sour and most likely wouldn't last more than a moment before capitulating to torture (particularly if they threaten to mar her appearance) but she's also the type to plan ahead in case she is captured to ensure she wouldn't have any information to divulge. After all, if she betrays all her allies who is left to perform a rescue?

She also has something of a phobia of the undead which are largely immune to her magical abilities. She, also, thanks to her upbringing and most unlike other elves, despises all things related to nature.

Goals: Accumulate enough wealth to become a merchant princess

Background/History: Assallya Kressair was born in the autumn in a small village on the outskirts of Evereska. At the young age of 26 (aprox. 11 or 12 in human years) Zhentish slavers attacked and killed her entire village except for those taken as slaves. Assallya, her sister Saeliah, and several others were transported far across Faerun in order to avoid the elven wrath sure to follow. In the city of Calimshan Assallya and Saeliah were separated when Assallya was purchased be Pasha Alkiel. Head of a powerful group of rogues, Alkiel purchased her as a dancer and concubine for both personal use and for information gathering and blackmail. She then served in Alkiel's bedchamber for the next eight years while being trained in dance, seduction and other roguish arts in order to perform her duties.

She was treated as an object and was given to allies and employees of the Pasha who performed exceptional services. Soon enough, she learned about the many different types of power and discovered that even as a slave she was far from powerless. Succeeding in seducing one of the Pasha's magicians she bid him teach her magic. At first he balked until Assallya cast for him the only thing her father had taught her at that young age, a cantrip. A small thing, it changed the colour of his fingernails, but it was magic none the less. He agreed then, for he was a lonely uncomely man who rarely received a woman to his bed. However, he placed conditions on his tutorial; refusing to train her in combative magics and warning her that should he ever target him with her spells it would mean her death. She surprised all of them by inventing an inferior version of the invisibility spell which allowed her to sneak away from the Pasha's clutches and return undetected. In this way, by filching jewels and prostituting herself she built up savings with a money lender.

It was with the aide of the Pasha's son that she succeeded in poisoning the Pasha, planning on becoming a partner to the successor instead of a slave. With her manipulative mind behind him to advise his passionate power they were sure to bring their competitors to their knees. What she was not expecting was the Pasha's extended family to hire a necromancer to speak with their departed kinsman. He quickly named his murderer and Assallya regretted bragging as he died.

She ran, the Pasha's son giving her a few moments to escape, fearing that she would claim his involvement which would lead to his family asking him uncomfortable questions. The next few months she moved slowly north, the sands left behind her and the lands becoming more lush and green.

Other Notes:
  • Low Hit Point
  • Assallya's goddess, Sharess has changed over the years. As a result, if killed, she will unable to be raised after 1d10 days.
  • Assallya's sister, Saeliah, is now a druid somewhere. I never really anticipate them ever meeting again.
  • There is a bounty on Assallya's head in Calimshan. It is highly unlikely anyone would chase her this far north.
  • Assallya wears a lot of jewelry. However, most with a critical eye will note that most of the gems are semi-precious. They're still worth quite a bit but not a noble's ransom.

Have you by chance read any of R.A. Salvatore's novels? Your character reminds me a bit of one or two of his Sharlotta Vespers comes to mind.

I think you put the attire description in the physical description. I'm allowing images but I want us to make this writing first and foremost. Is she athletic, plump, curvaceous, what color are her eyes and what is her hair like? Anything stand out? Physical deformities even? etc.

I also like you put other notes, but remember we're not using dice rolls so the 1d10 is null.

I stopped reading Salvatore's Drizzt novels after he started writing poorly on purpose in an effort to kill off his own series. I did hear that his writing became better once he shifted away from Drizzt towards Artemis and Jarlaxle but by then I'd already sickened of it.

Sorry, I barely know anyone here, not been around long enough. Or to put in the immortal words of the forum system "Your Friends: You have no friends"

However, I gotta say that I was expecting more people to have posted by now, there seemed to be a sufficient number in the interest check. Maybe poke them if you haven't already?

Also apologies for taking so long with my CS, I've spent the majority of the week juggling between three different ideas I have for a character and I think I've finally settled on what I want. I should have it up by the end of the week, promise.

Well, I happen to be a big FR fan. I might join this, and dream of the day I get the chance to try and kill a certain dark elf.

And finally here's my CS:



I'm 99% happy with it, might tweak some minor stuff before I transfer it in the character tab. (and after it gets an approval, of course)

Sorry for the delay, been tired as fruit lately. Ok so, I'm thinking of starting this in a week and a half. You guys might want to get on some characters, though of course if you need an extension, let me know because I am always willing to help :)

Vor, I will get to reviewing your character soon
