Time Marches On: A Witchlight Adventure Starring Miss Light

Welcome to the Witchlight Carnival!

The Ticket Booth

The elderly goblin nods to Miss Light, and he takes the coins. He hands her the three golden tickets. He answers her, "Thank you, young lady. I hope you have a delightful time," The goblin does indeed place six silver pieces on the counter and pushed them to her, while saying, "Your change. I insist,"

The other caravaners look to Miss Light, awed by her boldness. Morgran asks Miss Light, his voice still low and suspicious, "Are you sure about those stories you've heard, Miss Light?"

Insight DC 15

Morgran doesn't seem likely to follow Miss Light into the carnival, and is considering just staying by the caravan. But he is worried for Miss Light's well-being and could be persuaded into going into the Witchlight Carnival as well.

Time Marches On: A Witchlight Adventure Starring Miss Light

Welcome to the Witchlight Carnival!

The Ticket Booth

Morgran looks to Miss Light as she speaks, while the Elderly Goblin looks up as she approaches. After Miss Light explained what she's heard, he relaxes but looks perplexed at what he heard. Morgran answers her words with, "Is that so...?"

The Elderly Goblin speaks, "I cannot confirm or deny the Lady's words, but yes. We do not intend to do harm here. We simply wish that all we meet simply have a delightful time. You are welcome to purchase a ticket here and enjoy the festivities, or not. If you do not have enough money to purchase a ticket, but still wish to purchase, you may barter for a ticket,"

He then speaks, "An adult's ticket costs 8 silver pieces each, and are good for eight ticket punches. If you end up having all eight ticket punches, and you want to enjoy more of the festivities, come back here to purchase another ticket,"

Morgran is at least not ready to attack anyone, and is definitely more at ease than before. But he still appeared to be cautious along with the other caravaners. The other caravaners look to each other and speak quietly amongst themselves,

"I don't know...should we?"
"What if word gets out that we went to a carnival?"
"It seems like fun. It doesn't seem like it'll do any harm..."

I got a 23.

@rush99999

That is a success!

Time Marches On: A Witchlight Adventure Starring Miss Light

Since Miss Light is touching on Morgran's desire to keep people safe, could she make the roll with advantage?

@rush99999

I'll allow it. Go ahead and roll with advantage. ^_^

@rush99999 Can I get a Persuasion check please? ^_^

Wanderings in the Lost Realms

Name: Kilona Starshield
Age: 25
Race/Species: Leonin
Background: Guild Artisan
Class: Fighter
Level: 1
Character Sheet

Backstory

Kilona was born in her home in the quiet village of Burrsvane. The village was established by her very own father, a proud but kind man who sought to make a home for all shifters and other beast-like people who simply wanted to live in peace. He was able to do so through trade and his skills as a brewer. His very tavern is a tall and proud building that stands as the heart of the village, where the community can gather and enjoy the nights of performances, drink, and good food, and strengthen their ties and friendships with each other. Of course, there is no denying that he was a powerful man as well. If he needed to fight, then he would stand as victor.

Kilona was born as the third child among six children. She had a few close friends and lived a normal childhood for the most part. Unfortunately, her past was not all roses and good times.

One tragic day came, Kilona noticed her father didn't come to the tavern that night, so she went home to find him. She found him dead, with a weapon in his own hand. She called the guards, and upon investigation, they ruled that her father had committed suicide.

But something about that didn't sit right with Kilona. Her father was a jovial man who was proud of his accomplishments, and loved his family and community. So...why did he kill himself? Some part of her screamed that he had to have been murdered somehow, but Kilona couldn't figure out how he was murdered, who did it, and why.

Years passed, and Kilona stepped up to learn the ways of brewing alcohol to help the tavern and inn her father created to keep going! Thankfully, her mother knew the trade as well, so she was able to teach Kilona. She also approached the Guard Captain of her village and asked her to teach her how to fight. The Guard Captain agreed.

During training, she met her match in combat. A man from a different Leonin family named Terez Silentstride. The both of them were equal in combat, unable to best each other. Outside of battle, she found that Terez was a kind and hardworking young man. She found herself falling in love with him. But she hadn't had the courage to admit it to him yet.

After years of training and learning how to brew, Kilona grew even more restless. She heard the warren south of the village had become abandoned. She decided to take it upon herself to explore the warren with a scouting party. Other than finding that the place was filthy, there didn't seem to be anything there. As a result of that adventure, she ended up falling sick, having contracted a disease from that place.

It took a couple weeks of bed rest, but Kilona was able to recover. As a result of the disease however, her hair became prematurely gray.

After a couple more years of training and brewing, Kilona decided that something needed to change. She wasn't sure what it was, but she decided that going out into the world was for the best right now. Her siblings are capable of running the inn and tavern, and a hired hand, a Harengon named Bristle, also proved that he can help run the place should the siblings be unable to do so.

She wanted to see the world before settling down, and she had a feeling that she'll learn much from the world outside of the village. She had to go...

Had extra time, so I thought I should find reference pictures for at least 3 of the NPCs in Kilona's backstory.

Woohoo! XD Thank you!

I'm almost done with the character sheet, so I'll be posting it soon. ^_^

@Guardian Angel Haruki

The stats for the Leonin are in the MtG related source books yes?

@Lurking Krog

I remember seeing that it was from Eberron in the past, but now I can only find it from Mythic Odysseys of Theros in 5etools.

Here is the link to the stats just in case: 5e.tools/races.html#leonin_mot

@Lurking Krog OK. I've got a character concept in mind.

No joke, I rolled through the Expanded Reincarnation Table, and I ended up with Leonin.

So, I'll be playing a Leonin Fighter, who was a Guild Artisan. (Note: I am thinking that the Leonin is not a full Lion Humanoid, but a person with lion ears and tail. ^^")

Backstory: For now, I am thinking that this adventurer is leaving her small village to explore the world. But I am coming up with more details while rolling on "This is Your Life" from Xanathar's. ^_^
