Di'Siveks: Adventure (A D&D 5E Game)

Sorry for the silence, I'll have a post up shortly!... though I am very glad that I got to see Cascade's reaction. That was adorable.

The Clowns of Valerith

Arthek Yarnspin

In the midst of the chaos of the small lodge, a seemingly unassuming half-orc sat at one of the tables by himself, one hand holding a tankard and while the other was making odd gestures as if he were a conductor of an orchestra. Open next to him was an old, worn notebook which a spectral, skeletal hand was frantically scribbling away in with a quill, seemingly at the half-orc's instruction. Every so often, he would mutter something aloud, like "No, no, that's not quite right" or "Perhaps. Perhaps." His eyes seemed to be waver between observing the various tavern-goers around him and staring at nothing in particular at all.

He was taking some time away from his companions to partake in some light brainstorming and people-watching, currently donned not in his newly acquired theatrical wear but in much shabbier clothing, with a hood pulled up to help conceal his features. He'd taken particular interest in the doctor when she had first arrived, taking note of her muttering. She seemed worried about something, there had to be a story there. "Mysterious academic walks into a tavern, has a problem that no one can seem to solve..." Arthek muttered to himself. He glanced over at the spectral hand, which had paused in its writing. "What are you waiting for? Write that down, write that down!" he ordered, suddenly seeming very agitated. The hand quickly began following his instruction as he turned his attention back to the doctor, who during the time his eyes had been off her had been approached by two others. One he recognised as one of his cohorts and current muses, the esteemed Rockmar Graniteheart, otherwise known Happy the Clown, making an attempt to get some information and perhaps even a job out of the woman. Good, good, making the story move forward, strong protagonist move there. The other person, however...

"Huh," Arthek said aloud as he fixed his eyes on the water genasi. He clicked his tongue thoughtfully. "That is... interesting." He squinted at her, tilting his head to the side as he observed the stranger. "Peculiar... very peculiar." Anyone who was paying close enough attention to him would note his neck was starting to bend a little more than should have been possible. He must have realised what he was doing because he quickly righted himself, in which a sharp click sounded from his neck bones. "Oof, okay. That... never gonna get used to that."

The Clowns of Valerith

Do our characters know each other or are we just meeting for the first time? I know a couple worked on backstory or something.

@Garth

I'm assuming all the clowns know each other, at least, and Arthek has been hanging around the clowns for at least a couple of months. They are the subject of his next novel after all. He's even donned a costume and partakes in their antics from time to time, as part of his research.

The Clowns of Valerith

Hey! Widry is smaller, I think a bonus to strength in a halfling is pretty comical honestly. They are too fragile!

@Birdboy

... oops sorry xD

unless they're a stout halfling, then them being strong makes sense

The Clowns of Valerith

Haruki: I'll get the first post up some time this weekend.
Also Haruki: And by some time this weekend, I meant today, fools.

The Clowns of Valerith

... also I love the fact now that we all have 8 in Strength except Rockmar. The shortest member of our group is also the most physically strong. Good for him.

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

while Jub and Brutrumukk have a little bit of video game platforming.

@Guardian Angel Haruki

... why did I suddenly imagine a freaking Mario hack with Jub and Brutrumukk in place of Mario and Luigi?

The Clowns of Valerith

Wow, we got two sorcerers and two warlocks. That and the fact we have a bard means means that five out of six of our PCs are charisma casters.

... and then there's Rockmar, just sitting there on his drums with his 10 Charisma, just completely done with all of us.

Epyllion: Beyond Moonlight's Reach

Alright, if by the end of the weekend, Vertigo hasn't responded, I'll put up a post. Depending on your responses to my next post, we might be moving on to the Capitol soon after that. I hope this will give them time to catch up.

A lot of stuff is going to be happening once we reach the Capitol and I want everyone to be able to have a chance to react and act to the various things you may encounter.

The Clowns of Valerith

Carpe Noctum!

Once the DM peruses and approves the PM'ed character sheet, would anyone be willing to pursue a session zero for backstory generation?

My fingers possess a few typographic ruminations for Miss Light and Mister Yarnspin, in particular.

@Gordian Nought

Consider me intrigued.
