The Harbinger of Ferocity — Roleplayer Guild

I find that there is never enough time in the day. No matter just how early it might well be, it all passes too swiftly by and so rare is it that I feel like the day drags on.

I have considered a few options, ranging from darker low fantasy, something I am more partial to, to something as high fantasy in the mere hopes of finding players at all, @Gunther. Alternatively I might well try to start a modern campaign with much more down to earth characters although yet again the issue has been a lack of reliable players. Which is what leads me into my fact. In all my time roleplaying, the reason I have seen the most topics die is because the players go silent.

I am considering coming out of retirement to begin a campaign on the forum in the tabletop section but worry that it will merely be one of those inevitable things I will do that people stop being active in and kill the thread.

Rock Me

Some part of me still calls to the era of the 1980s for reasons unknown. This one recently rejoined me seemingly out of the blue. Why it came back again I cannot say.

All too often my dreams come before events, often in elaboration of them and extreme exaggeration of overarching themes. It is no wonder oneiromancy and prophecy were considered very, very true throughout the past of the world over, and that how seers or those with favor could predict the future that no others could. I much prefer the world of dreams as it were regardless of this foretelling or not.

There are several members of this thread who I would legitimately consider roleplaying with but never seem to find a topic I could actually bring my character to without disrupting anything.

The ferine paladin snarled as the tremendous blade connected at the following roar of the dragon being before him, the feral posture he had assumed ripping the sword clean. Whatever time Cyanwrath had to dispel the magic that had gripped his thoughts so briefly, the same which called him to cry out, that which likely cost the little woman her life, positively enraged the once huntsman. With an advancing step, the sickening sound of the blade freed, and the menace of men retaliated, and did so with violent retribution. The blade came free and up at an angle, carrying with it a wake of divine ethereal power. Some kernel of the furious, fanged thing that stood toe to toe with the equally fierce draconic being burned brighter and carried through the attack.

Brannor, perhaps what once was the man in the thrall of animal wrath, struck back in this way. But the beast dared not to swing once, it swung again and while the first blow was surely devastating in the same sense as to what the halfling had endured, either by skill or luck the draconic champion of the thuggish cult likely dodged the return swing. Each broad, thick hand that tore at the leather mitts that bound them hefted the sword, bringing it back and level while growling instinctively, upper lip quivering. One way or another this monster would suffer for its deeds, leading the tiger to circle around, knowing the opposition would almost surely follow now that they had been met in combat.

If the heroes could overwhelm their remaining two foes and plunge arrow, blade, and claw into them, the blue flight's raid leader might be felled. But that would require no small amount of fortune...

Brannor makes an attack with his greatsword, presumably landing a hit on a 23 for 14 points of slashing damage. Additionally, Brannor uses his Divine Smite ability to expend one spell slot, adding 2d8 divine damage to his attack. This bonus damage deals 5 radiant damage but rolls a 2. Using the Great Weapon Fighting ability reroll a 1 or a 2 on a damage die for an attack he makes make with a melee weapon that he is wielding with two hands, he rerolls the die. His Divine Smite now deals 6 damage on that rerolled die of 2 for a new total of 9 radiant damage.

He likely misses his second attack with his greatsword on a 12 and does not use the Bardic Inspiration die to improve it. He will still make attacks of opportunity against any opponent who provokes first. Brannor will move 5ft, then another 5ft, without leaving Cyanwrath's reach but forcing him to expose his back to the other members of the party, hoping that he will stay focused on the paladin instead. Assuming they are able to kill the other two mercenaries, he hopes to give them an opportunity to attack from behind.

The absolute minimum amount of time I spend sleeping is eight hours and if left to my own devices without need to alter or adjust routine for others, I will sleep much, much longer.

Thank you, @Tangletail, I should be joining you all shortly enough.
