DND 5E Adventurers Wanted (Party Assembled!)

[Raku]

You don't have to accept them.

In that case, can you see what I might get?

[PhantomPistoleer]

In that case, can you see what I might get?

12, 11, 7, 17, 9, 12.

Oof.  Sorry.

[Raku]

It’s fine. I just wanted to see if luck was with me.

[Everlasting Starfall]

Name: Hyacia Heartember
Age: ~300-500 (not super important, can choose what fits the game the best)
Race: Wood Elf
Class: Fighter (Archery)
Faction: the Lords' Alliance
Sexuality: Lesbian
Background: Soldier
DNDBeyond: https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/119254006

Background
Hyacia grew up in the High Forest. Soon, she knew she wanted to help defend her community — mostly from Orcs, gnolls, and fey’ri. Eventually, she met with a group of wood elves that had traveled back from Evermeet to try and reestablish the kingdom of Earlann. She decided to join up with them.

Over time, more and more of her friends died in battle — while she survived. This guild eventually grew too big for her so she left the High Forest and instead traveled to Silverymoon. There she mostly worked as a caravan guard or other employments that would take advantage of her years of experience as a soldier, but also to a smaller extent, her experience tracking in the forest.

Most of the coin she earned went to alcohol — trying to forget her past. Eventually, she got recruited by the Lords' Alliance, because of her military background. Having nothing better to do, and understanding that she needed to get her life together she decided to join them. With whispers of a Dragon cult growing in the Moonsea, she was sent to Phal, to see if her expertise was needed there.


Ons: Dominant partners, rough sex
Offs: Toilet stuff, blood, feet, filth.
Let me know if something would need changing.

Would also want to see my luck with some rolls. But might do point buy if my luck is totally gone.

[Sorvoe551]

Name: Strider

Race: Lightfoot Halfling

Height: 2' 6" (76 cm)

Class: Rogue

Faction Affiliation: Zhentarim

Background: Criminal/Spy

Long ago, Strider was born in a small village close to Hillsfar. However, during her childhood, a mercenary crew led by a man by the name of Ulthig the Bloody stormed the village, taking and killing as he pleased while the cottages burned. Strider was one of the few who survived, fleeing to Hillsfar for safety. At that point, Strider began to develop a fierce hatred for the man and sought revenge.

For the next decade, Strider would learn how to slink around in the shadows and to strike without the enemy knowing. Being a halfling, she was not physically strong, so she had to rely on her wits and swiftness to succeed. The whole time she became sullen and withdrawn, keeping her hatred close to her heart so that she would never forget what had happened to her and her family. Once she felt she was ready, she began to travel, searching for the man who wronged her all those years ago. for years she walked but came up empty-handed every time. But as she searched more and more places and interacted with more and more people, she began to realize something that changed her worldview for the better.

Throughout her travels, Strider was forced to interact with more and more people and rely on their generosity to get by. Work only appeared every so often and gold could only be stretched so far. But much to her surprise, people were generally pleasant and willing to help strangers out of the kindness of their hearts. Over time, this care from others chipped away at the wall she had put up around her heart until she began to realize that there were so many opportunities, adventures, and people she would have missed if she had remained so dogmatically dedicated to her previous goal. With a temporary feeling of guilt, she set aside her quest for revenge and changed her goals to something far more kind and heroic. And fun.

Tyrants and those who wielded power cruelly over others had to be stopped, that core tenant of her old quest never left her. However, she found it far better to point that goal in service of helping the common people. Those were the ones who offered her help and companionship when she had nothing, why not be helpful in kind? Besides, gaining new friends led to games, drink, and late-night fun, what could be better? She found likeminded people in the Zhentarim and decided to help them complete their work to keep despots down. And why not grab a few neat trinkets while she's at it? The open road is a path to opportunity and each town is a new adventure for Strider. Where will she end up next?

Skills and aptitudes:
- Highly proficient with dexterous weapons and bows.
- Stealthy and fast.
- An expert at using her small stature and surroundings to hide.
- Proficient craftswoman, especially with the All-Purpose Tool she "found."
- Good at setting traps and ambushes to gain advantage over stronger or more numerous foes.

Quirks and Flaws:
- Physically frail and requires assistance or a stool for anything high up.
- A major lightweight when it comes to alcohol. One strong drink can leave her shit faced. And when she's drunk, she becomes uncontrollably bubbly and energetic, often to other's annoyance.
- Has a penchant for gambling and often cheats. She is banned from several taverns and gambling halls because of this.
- Will fold like a house of cards when a strong woman shows any bit of attention to her.

Sexuality: Lesbian

Ons:
- Attracted to women of all sorts, especially if they are big and strong. Doesn't matter what they're packing, any form of feminine will interest her.
- Bondage, preferably as a sub. People having power over her and using it to rock her world turns her on immensely.
- Any form of oral, usually giving, as well as any form of penetrative sex. She'll gladly strap up if need be and takes as well as she gives.

Offs:
- Anything related to the bathroom is a no go.
- Besides spanking or tweaking, anything that relies on pain for pleasure is not her thing. She likes to keep her work and play separate.
- Typically avoids men, she doesn't find them attractive. She'll do her part if she's involved in a threesome/group with them, but she'd rather play with than lay with them.

Character Sheet

[Hexed]

Name:  Elvina Tack
Race:  Air Genasi
Class:  Warlock
Faction Affiliation: The Lords Alliance 
Background: Pirate
History:  Baldur's Gate may have been a prosperous and safe city but as an orphan who's mother passed away due to a sickness she couldn't afford to heal Elvina could only seethe in jealousy at what others took as normal. With the orphanage she was assigned to understaffed and overcrowded she did the best she could outside it's walls, it didn't matter if she had to beg for a bite of food or task to earn some coin. This lasted for a  few years till she met Captain De'Mur of the Pirate ship Dark Loyalty. The man, suave and dashing unlike most of the rowdy thugs that flew the black flag, came up with a cunning plan and hired the child to serve upon his ship. She stayed out of the way during battles and did her best to learn the ropes at other times but when they sunk a ship or found a shipwreck she did the most work. Her ability to stay below the waves for hours on end with but one breath made her an excellent diver to find all the valuables and either bag them and attach them to ropes to be hauled up onto the ship.

This lasted for a time but De'Mur's insistence upon a more gentlemanly conduct as well as a rather privateer method of selecting his targets lead his crew to grumbling more and more. Eventually Tel'met, first mate and the Captain's long time friend, stabbed him in the back and led a mutiny which was quite the shock for her to come up out of the water to find finished. The new captain was cruel and cared not a whit what flag his targets flew and as time passed the ship's reputation became darker and darker. Luckily the new captain
wasn't a smart man and never noticed a compartment within his claimed quarters that she found while cleaning as he partied ashore. Within were letters and notes showing that De'Mur had been a part of The Lords Alliance keeping them appraised of pirate activity and rumors as well as seeking out things for them that had long been beneath the waves.

Even with the letters containing old drop sites and contacts it took her years to arrange things with the Alliance as they were wary that her attempts to contact them were for a trap. Rumors of a sunken ship containing powerful magics were floated by the captain and he soon sought the vessel out seeking to claim the magic for himself. As per the plan while she was down searching the wreckage the Dark Loyalty was assaulted by several navy ships, the crew cut down and the captain executed then and there. As for her she found that yes there was quite a bit of magic in that ship as she accidentally set some sort of fae free, fear turning to shock as it pinned her down and kissed her before fleeing. Reeling from the kiss delivered blessing she managed to cut herself upon some other artifact and found herself in some cinder-red space as a thing of hunger coiled around and within her. Coming too with a start she was quick to finish up her bagging and headed to the surface in a panic. Informing the Alliance contact of everything that had gone on with the item and whatever was happening to her. This changed the plans and instead of staying a pirate she was brought in more fully to make use of her growing abilities more directly for the Alliance.

Ons: Exhibition, Submission, Public/out in the open, multiple partners, non-con  


Offs:  Toilet play, Maiming, Forced body alteration such as tattoos/piercings/things that would hurt to cause.

Point buy - 8,15,12,10,11,15

[PhantomPistoleer]

All right, gang.  I have selected half the party.  Pumpkin, Rainwood, and Dog have been chosen.  I like their enthusiasm and their support for the game generated a lot of additional interest.

With that having been said, I will allow them each to make a selection to fill out the party.

[Sorvoe551]

Ooh! A Fighter, Cleric, and Rogue so far. Nice coverage.

[Rainwood]

With that having been said, I will allow them each to make a selection to fill out the party.

Oof, the pressure.

I will say, I love Hexed's character and said early on that a warlock would strengthen our back line, so my vote goes to Elvina.

And on the off chance the three of us are casting votes for both remaining slots, my second vote goes to Sorvoe551 and Strider because, y'know, a party gotsta have a halfling. I did initially worry that having two rogues might water down the appeal for each of them playing one, but then I realised that any of the remaining characters I might have chosen would result in a class duplication.

So there you have it from me. My only regret is that there wasn't a character with purple skin so we could have had a neat green-blue-purple-red-orange character spectrum.

I appreciate the shoutout! Dog’s character sheet is locked off, so I don’t know what she’s built for, but I’ll fill whatever role is necessary for the party. Strider is built to be stealthy, so a scout/sniper can help fill up our backline. Plus, two Rogues tag-teaming an enemy means Sneak Attack for days.

[oldedog]

Didn't realize that she was blocked off, I'll see about fixing that.

*There should be able to see the sheet now.*

[Everlasting Starfall]

*There should be able to see the sheet now.*

Yep, it's visible now! 

[Sorvoe551]

Thanks Dog. Yep, Nethzes seems to be much more of a face while Strider is the blade in the shadows. We’re both proficient in similar skills, but with a few key differences. Should be interesting to play off of, but it’s ultimately up to Pumpkin and Dog.

[Raku]

Oof. I’m going to imagine that it’s hard to pick who the last two are gonna be.

[Sorvoe551]

I can imagine. I’m equally excited and nervous 

[Raku]

Considering the options and current party set up, I’m not going to assume too much about myself.

[oldedog]

If it helps with the nervousness, I've already sent my suggestions to Phantom so I don't think you'll have to wait too long for an answer.

[Hexed]

Well 5e sneak attack rules certainly seem nicer. Extra enemy within 5ft instead of having to be on the other side of the foe. With the meatshields wonderous melee companions that shouldn't be a difficult condition to trip.

Oof, the pressure.

I will say, I love Hexed's character and said early on that a warlock would strengthen our back line, so my vote goes to Elvina.

Glad ya liked the pirate lass even if she's not as busty as the fae elf might like.

Huh. Looking at the Fighter/Cleric/Rogue beyond has a description tab but doesn't share it and I hadn't realized that. Makes me wonder what else isn't shared.

[Everlasting Starfall]

Excited and nervous :D But congrats to whoever makes it in!

[Rainwood]

Glad ya liked the pirate lass even if she's not as busty as the fae elf might like.

No worries, it's only one of the things Galinemin looks for in an adventuring companion! ;D I can see him and Elvina doing some cool move where they both use their spells/features to teleport 30ft together and...do something cool, I dunno yet.

Huh. Looking at the Fighter/Cleric/Rogue beyond has a description tab but doesn't share it and I hadn't realized that. Makes me wonder what else isn't shared.

That's always been a strange little thing on DDB. I think it's visible to the GM of any campaign our characters joinB. But it's just "Description" and "Notes" that other players can't see, and those sections are rarely diligently populated by most players. For Galinemin, all you're missing out on is that one of his bonds is "I will master the spirit of winter, return to the feywild and marry Risala", and one of his ideals is "It's not cheating if you're on different planes of existence".

Anyway, I'm excited to see which characters will complete this very colourful party.

[PhantomPistoleer]

All right, folks.  The ballots are in.  First and foremost, thank you everyone for your interest.  I am sorry that things didn't work out this time, but you never know if someone will drop out.

Obviously, Oldedog, Pumpkin Seeds, and Rainwood were all selected, and they in turn have selected:

Hexed's Elvina;
Everlasting Starfall's Hyancia; and,
MetaAugustus's Aras Augustus.  

I apologize for the delay and I thank the players for having deliberated so thoroughly.

[Sorvoe551]

Damn. Oh well, have fun everyone!

[Everlasting Starfall]

Wooo! Thank you! 

[MetaAugustus]

Much appreciated, hyped as hell to experience Elliquiy D&D

[Pumpkin Seeds]

Excited to get started and get pounding…or pounded.
