[Unglaublich Verwustung]

Well, I don't know about 'need' but I certainly like to read them when I meet new characters. So I thought I would start a post and see if anyone else was interested in placing them here for general perusal. As I am so very nice (for a mac-user) I have also appended my latest character below for starters. I haven't given the race or build as this is a background to justify the build, not the build itself [img]smile.gif[/img] :


My name is Ted Turnstone Buckbelly; ex-Luiren Marchwarden, Pledged Son of Arvoreen, Assassinsbane, Honorary Furchin, Occasional Thief, Annoyer of Valraxaxath the Black. You name it, I've done it.

Unfortunately, due to a small incident involving, variously, a small kerfuffle in the Theocrat's hall, a missing magical pendant of inestimable value, and no solid alibi for the episode when a certain High Priestess lost her virginity and blamed it upon me, I have had to take a short absence from my land of birth. In fact, strictly speaking, I've been banned under threat of death from setting foot in Beluir or its environs, talking to any of its ambassadors in any known city in Faerun or looking the wrong way at any priestesses of Cyrrollalee (who would have thought that our good and wise deity of friendship and trust could be quite so vindictive?). My name is banned by law from being mentioned in any citizen's conversation, idle or otherwise, in any public place within Luiren. Now, I admit I may have skipped a few minor points within the tale of just exactly what I did to upset my fellow citizens to the extent to which I did, but I figured they would be of little interest to the casual listener. Looking on the bright side, I was told by the Theocrat himself - just prior to being forcibly ejected from his sight - that I would be allowed back when I was dead and not before...I'm working on it. Honestly, I really am.

In the meantime I figured that the Sword Coast would be a reasonable distance at which to place myself. Waterdeep looks like a positive place to look for new companions and, whilst I was drinking, the innkeeper Durnan spoke highly of Undermountain as a place to get a little bit of ready cash.I know he wasn't talking to me, I may even have been eavesdropping just a teensie bit, and I perhaps may have missed some pertinent points to the story but nevertheless, what can possibly go wrong - a little bit of loose cash and equipment just lying around for the taking. In and out, easy.
