Dice Baldur's Gate: Descent into Avernus - OOC

[Felix]

Felis I basically have the same fighting style in my cleric, so we can protect the heck out of our allies.

 

[WlfSamurai]

Yeah, I actually really like that everyone gets a trinket roll during chargen.

 

[WlfSamurai]

Did I start a trend, haha?

In any case, my CS is up now, so yay! I'm already excited to see where this goes.

I'll take a look shortly.

 

[Felis]

Seems like a pointless thing so why not do it too

A fan that, when unfolded, shows a sleeping cat owned by a tabaxi makes sense I guess

Our characters have matching ones then! We definitely should figure out how that came to be, haha.

That sounds good! The party does have some magic users, so more protection for them is probably for the best.

 

[DreamingBlackbird]

And dun dun dooooone I think
Bloody excited for this y'all!

 

[WlfSamurai]

Working my way through reviewing the characters.

 

[WlfSamurai]

DreamingBlackbird , your character is coming along nicely. What do you have left to do on it?

 

[WlfSamurai]

All the finished characters are approved. Good work so far everyone!

[alabast]

Great!

 

[WlfSamurai]

We're getting close, people. Very close. I'm excited. Love these characters already. Can't wait to see them be interact and do awesome stuff.

what kind of story do think is the reason behind the fan that unties the former solider boy and the female thrill seeker?

 

[Felis]

what kind of story do think is the reason behind the fan that unties the former solider boy and the female thrill seeker?

I mean, it could be something pretty mundane like they both got it from the same traveling merchant because they liked the design (Evendur would probably have bought it as a gift then), or something more backstory-heavy. Maybe Shadow Star's (am I using her name right?) mentor figure had multiple of those, and he gave one to her for some reason (or she just took it), and after he got arrested, perhaps Evendur somehow ended up on guard duty for a while and met the man. I can see Evendur taking the fan in exchange for a small favour like better food if he felt sorry for him.

For the sake of having a chance for the fan to be something special/mysterious, the first option is probably not as interesting, as judging from the money his background gives, Evendur probably doesn't have that much money to buy particularly expensive gifts (unless the merchant wanted to get rid of the fans for some reason).

Do you have any other ideas?

 

[DreamingBlackbird]

I think it's fairly done at this point tbh, unless there are things that you think need fixing?

Actually, no. Looks solid to me. I think we can get this show on the road.

Exciting!

Stay tuned friends. I’ll put the first post up. Remember, you’re allies because you’ve been conscripted by the Flaming Fist. You don’t have to be friends, but you do have to work together.

Gotcha. Excited to start y'all.

Depends on the symbolism of the fans dose it represent an adventure the characters did together? Are the fans just random items that just happen to get at some point? Is there a silly rumor about folding fans where only 2 of each design were made and if you find the matching fan you find your true love?

You know what, I think the matching folding fans for true love could be fun - whether or not our characters actually have any chemistry, them finding out they each have one half of the fan pair is certainly going to be interesting.

 

[WlfSamurai]

This is going to be a lot of fun. I can feel it already. Just want to give some more time for the others to jump in and introduce themselves.

 

[Ilikepie]

all these respectful introductions to the captain while my character just stares at him.

 

[WlfSamurai]

Felix , would you like to jump on the intro train too?

 

[ValkyrieRose]

Do I know exactly what happened to the capital that fell?

 

[WlfSamurai]

Do I know exactly what happened to the capital that fell?

Probably not. Unless you were there when it happened. I think we have a few of the characters that have that as part of their backstory. But even they don't really know what happened. There are a lot of rumors floating about. Everything from a hidden attack from Elturel to Angels taking the city to the Heavens as a reward.

There was some sort of attack though, or at least in tandem with something else, right? Whether people know that's what happened or not. (Because if there wasn't, then Evendur's backstory kind of starts to fall apart and I'd rather know that sooner than later, so I can fix it before I write about events that never happened or something.)

Oh no, you know! The characters that were there know what happened but not how or why.

In a few minutes I'll let you know what this. I can't type it right this second...

Thanks! And yeah, I was just asking in case it was more like a "the city disappeared from one moment to the next" thing without much else to it, because then I'd have to rewrite some things. I wasn't planning on Evendur knowing any details about it, though, don't worry.
