Recently he received Bryak received word that his cousin, Grontwin Glimmerstone, had gone missing. Grontwin always caused trouble in the family, Bryak enjoyed this excitement extensively. As his favourite cousin this was not good news, shortly after he received a rather odd letter left at the manor. All it read was "Come to Sandpoint or he dies.", Bryak knew his parents would just let him die as it would remove a rather painful thorn for them, so he couldn't consult with them. In a panic he grabbed some servants, loaded them with everything they could carry and set out to save his cousin.

Bryak and his servants have been in Sandpoint for just over a day.

Personality: Very well educated and uses it to its full extent. He is not above taking advantage of those blinded by the site of gold and jems. Acts very calm and collected even when flustered with rage on the inside. He does not like business and manual labour.

Novak

Novak
novak%20-%20mini.JPG

Half-elf Mage-blade (played by Nicko)

Background: Novak grew up as a foster child to Parvo Charthagnion, a weaponsmith in Magnimar. Novak’s mother died in childbirth and he spent his early years with his father, a renowned mage-blade. His father left him with Parvo before setting off on a quest to find a mysterious, lost artifact.

Novak’s youth was troubled, as he continually seemed to find himself in unfortunate situations not of his making. He was picked on and teased by local children as he was “fatherless and had funny ears”. One incident in particular plagued him to this day. When he was down at the wharf, the local kids played a prank on him. They rigged a herring to move and with a child under the wharf the fish spoke to Novak, stating he would be cursed from this day forward and untold trouble and bad luck would forever be with him. He believes this is where his bad luck stems from and now he wears a small brass herring amulet that he has a tendency to polish and rub and he feels if he fails to do this regularly that bad luck will befall him.

He learnt weaponsmithing from his foster father and became quiet skilled, but eventually started training with one of his father’s mage-blade colleagues. Morlavo took Novak under his wing trained him to be a mage-blade. Novak hopes to one day be as talented as his father in this regard.

While Novak was brought up in somewhat humble surroundings, he strives to become financially secure one day, and enjoys the benefits of wealth (namely fine food and lodging).

Eventually, Novak decided it was time to put his skills to use and seek out his father. Investigations led him to the Black Arrow rangers of Fort Rennik. Unfortunately, not long after arriving at the fort it was taken by ogres and Novak was captured and tortured.

Personality:

Gaming Goals: Find his father

Dorlin Groundpounder

Dorlin%20-%20lvl%206%20Dwarf%20Ranger.jpg

Dwarf Ranger (played by Shane)

Background: Dorlin grew up hunting on the surface for the dwarven stronghold at Janderhoff, bringing in the wild boar and venison that they love to eat. Most recently he has been commissioned by Bryaks parents to find him and convince him to come home, or if he wont come home to stay with him and protect him. In exchange the Glimmerstones will help fund a cure for his extremely sick wife (or at least this is what he thinks, may be something else, like a rival clan keeping track on where Bryak is to set up an ambush or something else entirely).

His favored hunting weapon is the long bow and he has become quite proficient in its use. Though he also carries a hand axe and a knife, and has been known to use a spear, especially when hunting boar.

Personality: Is gruff and to the point. Unlike most dwarves he has spent most of his life in the wilderness hunting and foraging. He is set in his ways and his long stints of solitude while hunting have left him with a very very thick dwarven accent which becomes very hard to understand when he talks quickly or is excited.

The time alone in the wilderness has also made him very curious as he always wants to see what's over the next rise or which animals can he hunt form that forest over there.

Dorlin is also allergic to horses which he blames on being kicked by a horse the very first time he saw the beasts.

Gaming Goals:
* Find Bryak and convince him to return to Janderhoff

Important Items:
* Stone tablet on necklace with an etched portrait of his wife.

Wish List:
* Return Bryak to Janderhoff
* Get his wife healed
* Hunt and kill that elusive white buck he has been after for years.

Arkin Ironshanks - Retired and Acting Commander of Fort Rannick.

Arkin%20Ironshanks.jpg
Arkin%20Ironshanks%20-%20mini.jpg

Mountain Dwarf - Cleric of Torag (Protection) (played by Blair)

Specialty: Fortified Defender (Custom designed)
Arkin combines his upbringing as a Stonemason and his divine calling to Torag with a focus on larger scale battles and warfare and defensive structures.

Background: Artisan - Stonemason

Arkin was raised in the city of Janderhoff. His father, Ankar, was a well respected mason and Arkin, being the loyal son, was eager to follow in his father's footsteps. After completing the long and arduous apprenticeship, Arkin continued working with his father, learning the art of fortifications and construction.

Tragedy struck one day though, when his father was killed by an orc warband as they were traveling to an outpost in the Mindspin mountains to help repair the walls following a raid. Swayed by his uncle, Hardig, Arkin gave up his hammer and chisel, instead taking up the mace and shield, to learn the ways of Torag. Having finished his priestly training, Arkin found himself drawn to combining his skills as a mason with his calling to defend the weak. He has set forth to travel the lands to lend aid where he can.

Having heard of plans to rebuild the church in Sandpoint, Arkin couldn't resist the calling to offer his services. He had been living in the town for almost two years until it was completed, when a fresh batch of trouble arrived, with goblins, demons and a host of treacherous villains threatening the town of Sandpoint and its surrounds.

True to his nature, Arkin rose to the defense of the town, along with a group of friends, the Heroes of Sandpoint. Since then, their travels have extended ever further, to Magnimar and all the way back through Ilsurian and on to Skulls Crossing and Hook Mountain.

Personality: Helpful and honorable. Arkin believes in defending those who are unable to defend themselves and when doing so takes his responsibilities very seriously.

Gaming Goals: Arkin has a dream to build some wonderful structure that will stand the test of time throughout history. He would also like to be present to actively defend a fortification that he has designed and built. Finally, Arkin would like his own castle/fort/temple, and his own quarry, so that he could genuinely take ownership of the stonework that he produces.

Important Items:

Wish List: Holy item specific to Torag (preferably a shield).

Advancement: See character sheet for a list of possible Edges for Arkin to consider.

S13, D18, C13, I13, W12, Ch16

Specialty: Sharp Shooter

Background: Guild Thief

Traveling Merchant Family.
Varisian by birth he grew up with his entire extended family as they wandered from Cassomir in Taldor to Sandpoint in Varisia. While a dangerous route to travel the size of the family group is quite formidable, especially when every member of the group is somewhat skilled in either, fighting, re-con or magic of some degree.

Antonio has left his family who were currently in Nirmathas. He has been in Sandpoint for around a week now, but has been to the town numerous times in his lifetime and while not an expert in the city he does have more than a passing familiarity with the layout and nature of the town.

Personality:
Roguish Scoundrel: (e.g. Silk, Han Solo, Zorro, Hawkeye/Trapper)
Antonio often smiles, loves to drink (rarely to excess), gamble, play cards, tell stories, chase women. He is carefree, cheerful, boisterous, rowdy, noisy (unless quiet is called for) and energetic. However there is also another side of him, especially if protecting his family or if undertaking a 'contract' where he can take on dark and callousness. While generally cheerful etc he can also be very resilient, direct, patient and be very clinical in his dealings.
Antonio is naturally gifted using smaller missile weapons (archer specialty) due to his natural dexterity and an innate ability to spot weaknesses after a few seconds of watching.

Likes: Favours the colours blue, purple, red, silver and black.
Antonio loves gambling and is particularly fond of both cards and rolling the bones (dice). Sometimes he will even play without cheating.
Playing the game of economics & learning things that he isn't supposed to know about.
Theatre, Horse Riding, Swimming, Dancing

Dislikes: Cooking, Sewing, Smoking

Habits/Mannerisms: Humming, Snacking (pumpkin seeds), Superstition (bad luck if you don't knock before passing through a doorway, even if it is only softly), Hair stroke (front to back with left hand), Eavesdropping

Currently he is looking at improving his acting skills by aligning himself with either the theatre in Sandpoint, or with Ameiko Kaijitsu the proprietor of the Rusty Dragon.

Approach to Combat: Will shift between hand to hand and ranged combat as he sees fit. If fighting hand to hand he tries to use his natural agility to his advantage and will leap about, jump off tables and swing from chandeliers. Contrary to what he may say, Antonio will not fight fair if he can get away with it, he will throw dirt or drinks, trip, bite…whatever he thinks will help him to win.
If fighting from range he will often take his time to try and seek out the weak spot of an enemy before attacking, hoping to do more damage or for an easier hit.

Gaming Goals: Minor: Find out all he can about the Theatre and the new Church and see if there is anything of interest for his family there.
Obtain an item that allows him to directly contact his family no matter where they are.
Make a lucrative acquaintance.
Play the game of economics.
Aquire a spyglass.
Major: Find out what has happened to his younger sister and return her to the family if possible.

There are also numerous second cousins, uncles, aunts, etc so that there are usually several hundred traveling in the one group.
Antonio is the second youngest child and the youngest son.

Education (Where/How you learnt your skills): Antonio has been learning all his life from the various members of his extended family.

Significant Life Events:

Organisations (Inc. religions): Family Graymane. While he is away from his family at the moment he can send messages to a few key contacts to let his family know what is going on.

Like the majority of Varisians, Antonio worships the goddess Desna (freedom, dreams, stars, travellers and luck). As such he will endeavour to oppose anything to do with the god Lamashtu or the demigod Ghlaunder

Important NPCs:
Cyrdak Drokkus: Owner of the theatre of Sandpoint.

Sheriff Belor Hemlock: The local sheriff in Sandpoint. Doesn't know personally but as the local law enforcer need to be wary of his actions so that they don't draw any attention to himself. Unlikely given that Antonio is a Varisian.

Aliver "Pillbug" Podiker: from the Pillbug's Pantry

Adventure Kicker (What set you on the path?): Youngest twin sister (Allessandra) fled from the family years ago after a massive fight about marriage with his father. His mother convinced his father to leave her go as the goddess Desna had let her foresee that only by her leaving would the family escape destruction. Allesandra fled to Sandpoint.

Recently his mother has been having visions that are very confusing, his sister may yet be alive.
