First DnD session went awesomely! My players loved it, and a dragonborn was nearly killed by a bugbear.

Bio

Heyo! I'm Tybalt, and I'm an alcoholic...

Shoot, I think I'm doing this wrong. Y'know what, I'mma just throw up a character sheet for myself, y'all know how to read those.

Name: Tybalt
Species: Human. But, like, kinda Hobbit, too?
Age: 24
Rank: Peasant, probably.
Personality: Hard to nail down since I'm the one writing it, but I'm a type three on the Enneagram if that's worth anything.
Description: Two arms, two legs, a head, no feathers.
Abilities: Casual to advanced writing. I love a good advanced, but it's gotta be engaging as well as deep. Advanced is an investment, so I rarely keep up with more than one at a time.
Likes: Pirates, Knights, Cowboys, and everything in-between. I don't mind a good romance, but I'm just as happy to have a bro-tp as an otp. I also love anything by Brandon Sanderson, so if we've got some other fans out there, hit me up in the pm's.
Dislikes: This is less a dislike than a personal failing, but I tend to over-commit to too many stories, then not respond very quickly. You have been warned, I guess.

Gotcha! I can put both those bits in easily. Also, if you like, I can totally do some editing on characteristics, make Owen lean a little more oblivious. They've survived some tough stuff, though, thus the more cynical mannerisms. Though, to be fair, I like the idea of them growing softer around her.





Alrighty! I wasn't sure what "Portrayer" was, but here they are! Let me know if anything needs fixin'!
Awesome! I'm glad he's compelling! It's weird, this is evening here in Oregon. Anyway, no hurry, but I am excited!
The sound of the ruckus downstairs didn't mean much to Reuben. Hell, nothing meant much to him anymore. As he tugged up his trousers, he found himself swaying a bit, almost as though the wooden floorboards were those of a ship.

"Going so soon?" The aging whore looked over her shoulder at him as he dressed, apparently both eager for him to leave, and skeptical about when shed be getting her payment.

"Hmph. Nothing of the sort. I'm just going t' get myself another drink. I'll be back in just a bit, and we'll see if you have any holes tighter than that sad gash you're tryin' t' sell me."

"That costs--"

"I know it costs extra. Jesus, Mary and Joseph, woman. I hired you as a whore, not as a wife. Quit your nagging and fix your face. You've dropped an eyelash." He buckled his gunbelt low on his waist, where it would be easy to draw from, and stumbled out into the hallway. He just had to get to the bar, then remember his room. Second on the right. That was easy enough. He gripped the wooden railing tightly as he strode, heavy-footed, down the stairs, scuffing his boots against the steps to force them on more solidly.

The gathering-room downstairs was quite a sight. Something had clearly gone down, but whatever it was, he didn't much care. He somehow managed to land himself in a seat along the bar, where he raised a finger to catch the barkeep's attention. He placed an order for bourbon, by the bottle, and rolled a heavy coin idly along the scratched wooden bar as he waited.

A heavy hand clapped him on the shoulder, and he went for his gun instinctively.

"Whoa, there. No need for that, Luckshot! I'm not lookin' for any trouble." The speaker was a thick-gutted man, with soft features and often-patched clothing.

"Tarson." Reuben looked at the portly man distastefully. "I told you the last time I saw you, I'm not going to be your hired gun. I'm over all that shit." His drink arrived, a stout bottle, and he forced the cork free with a slight grunt of exertion. He took a long drink, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand. He felt the slowly greying bristles of stubble, and realized it'd been a couple of days since he'd bothered to shave. Damn, but time passed quickly when you were waiting around to die.

Tarson waved his hands before him, as though trying to physically dispel the notion. "No, no, nothing of that sort. I won't keep you for long. I'm sure you have... other things to occupy yourself with." He looked Reuben up and down, taking in the taller man's unkempt appearance and crookedly-buttoned shirt. Given the reputation of the saloon, there was little doubt what Reuben had been up to.

"The fact is, Mister Luckshot, that there might finally be a job to keep your interest." He smiled, a rather oily, untrustworthy look. "You see, there is a proposition that appeals to all of your interests. A chance at wealth, lovely company, a spot of vengeance, and even--"

He was cut off by the thump of the bottle against the table. "Say your damn piece, man. I've a middle-aged woman who says she's twenty to get back to." He started to rise from his stool, gripping the neck of the quickly-emptying bottle.

"Alright, I'll be brief! I'm sorry, mister Luckshot, sir. There's a girl who was in here, real young-lookin' thing, right pretty if I do say so myself. She were lookin' for someone like you to help her get vengeance or something. Said she could pay handsomely..." He trailed off as the other man stepped back toward the stairs.

"I'm not interested, Tarson. I'm no Luckshot anymore. I'm just Reuben Caerwynn now. And fact is, I'm not interested in any get-rich-quick plan of yours. I'm sure you mean well... no, actually, I doubt that, but either way, I have a cheap whore who wants to be paid. Let me know if you want to share a drink some time, but don't waste my time with rescue or revenge." He turned away from the sputtering man, stumbling more and more as the bourbon, his third bottle that day, started hitting. He elbowed roughly past a couple of upstarts crowding the way, growling under his breath at them. They were the sort to start wearing a gun once they left home, wispy mustaches and like-new boots telling more about them than their likely-to-crack voices could.

Back up the stairs he went, relying more and more on the handrail as his boots nearly slipped. First door on the... no, that wasn't right. Second door. Which side? Left. No, that couldn't be. Right? He thought back to coming down the stairs. No, it had to be on the left. He passed the first door, then at the second on the left, he threw the door open, hands on his belt buckle to begin undoing it as he did.

"I'm back, you worn-out piece of meat--" He stopped, seeing a young woman resting, fully clothed on a bed that was not the one he had been in. "Who the hell are you?"
THIS IS SO GOOD! I've started working on my post, too, but my gosh! You really write so that I can picture everything as it happens. Abigail Kate is already so compelling, and you've given me a lot of space to act within!

Firstly, love the Shallan profile! I'm definitely interested in this!
Aster

To all outward appearances, the vaporous wolves were something like intangible. Their misty appearance was so unusual, so out-of-the-ordinary, it would give pause to any rational player, reminding them that this was not reality, and that the rules of this game were unknown and fickle.

Aster charged straight at Wolf 1.

Her hair streamed out behind her like a flag in the breeze, and she felt the familiar scratching feeling in her throat as she let out a whooping screech of excitement at the thrill of combat. Her soft-shoed feet padded softly against the stones as she raced towards the vaporous foe. Her Katana cleared its sheath in a smooth motion, glowing slightly as she activated her triple-strike ability against the enemy, even as she drew forth her blade.

Summary:

Aster is a wonderful character, but dumb as rocks sometimes.
Attacks wolf 1 (recklessly) with triple strike.
@PoiSounds great!
This was starting to look like a real quest. The sort of thing that legends were made of. Elodan rubbed his hands together eagerly, knuckles bumping uncomfortably against each other. He ran a quick self-check, running over the equipment he had available. It looked like they'd be heading out soon, so by his estimate, he'd be stuck with the gear he had now.

Let's see here... Stiletto, though it could do with sharpening. Merlin, though it could use a tuning. Flute, a bit dented. Food, only two dozen scones. Hmm. I could do with more variety, but then,
scones taste so damn good. Aha! A bit of booze, too. Looks like I'm all set.


For all his brazen confidence, Elodan was far from sure as to what his next course of action should be. Most of the other travelers seemed... hmm. What was the word for it? Competent, perhaps? Yes, that was part of it. He had plenty of faith in himself, so long as he wasn't expected to fight, but then, fighting seemed a rather important aspect of the upcoming trip. Well. No matter. He had other skills.

Striding confidently forward, Elodan closed most of the distance between himself and the King, such that he was perhaps two paces away from the imposing man. With a smile that showed none of his brilliant teeth, he bowed flamboyantly, then stood straight once more, with an air of gravity quite out of place with his flashy clothing.

"My lord king. Er, Emperor. Either way! I will do you the honor of joining your merry contingent. No, no, do not protest. It is no trouble. I recognize my worth, and will nonetheless lend my aid to your party." He stepped closer.

"Imagine, if you will, sire, the ballads that I will compose. Not crude, vagrant's ballads like some--" He spared a glance for the other bard, whose presence unnerved him more and more. "No, nothing like that. Glorious odes to your might and majesty which will be sung for generations! Songs and tales of your swashing blows against beasts such as you have described, of your bravery in the face of danger! Why, with me composing your history, the history of this adventure, even a coward should seem heroic. Thing how much greater you shall appear, a man so far from cowardice in nature!"

He was now practically nose-to-nose with the Emperor, his eyes shining with a hint of madness. He hurriedly scurried a pace back, then waited patiently for a response to his offer of aid.
