The Motliest crew of Ne'er Do Wells


I realise this one's a little late, but I wanted to play a couple of sessions before writing up anything on the other characters in the campaign, otherwise I might have misrepresented them.

Firstly is Lily a Changeling Druid, played by C

It occurs to me that I should at least be trying to keep notes on this band of ne'er do wells that I seem to have accrued recently, for tactical and social reasons, that and I can remember who exactly is violently sea-sick.

So let's start with the least personally offensive, Lily; judging by the little I've seen her do in combat, or in anything really, I'd assume she's a Druid, but I'm not 100% certain, either way she's certainly quiet and reserved, not speaking up in any situation unless I press her for an opinion, and even then she's fairly monosyllabic. I suppose when you can summon and control your own lightning cloud, you don't need to say much at all. I've got no real problems with her and I don't expect to really meet any.

Next up is Victor, an Elf Wizard, Conjurer, played by M

And swiftly following her up on the problems scale is Victor, who by all of his accounts is a Wizard, and the Wizardiest Wizard of all, and his Familiar Ludin, a Dust Mephit who he has rather disturbingly dressed up as a 12 year old Girl, and constantly insists that we refer to her as we would a normal child. The fact that he has never shown his face to us either is somewhat disturbing, but I have no reason to believe that he actively means the party any harm, still the fact he throws around his spells openly does not instil me with confidence of his mental state.

Followed Swiftly by Chak, a Ratfolk Bard, played by K

And Chak, oh dear, Chak. He introduced himself so well, seemed interested in actually forming a group in order to make some money, and do some good, and then shattered all of our trust in him by cheating at cards, over copper pieces. He says it was just to test our skills, and while I may appreciate the excuse, it doesn't alter the fact that he tried it multiple times, and despite his argument of, "I wouldn't adventure with someone whose skills I don't know" the fact we had to catch him doing it breaks any trust he had, and once trust is so easily broken, it is much harder to repair. Can sing really well though.

And Lastly "Royce", a Human Knife-Master Rogue, Played by A

And now we finally get to "I Have Many Names, Some Call Me the Black Fox, Some Call Me the Scoundrel, Mostly the Ladies Call Me the Scoundrel", IHMNSCMTBFSCMTSMTLCMTS for short, or "Many Names" for when I don't want to lose my mind. He's as quiet as Lily, as trustworthy as Chak, and as serious as Victor, and the only person to openly challenge my leadership, and do it incompetently at that, "What can you sit on, but not take with you? A Chair" A chair my cold, scaly ass, I could carry the Clockwork throne of Mechanist across the world without tiring. A prolific womaniser, I'm waiting until I see him in combat to judge whether or not I want him around, still if he's half the thief he claims to be I can find a use for him, liking him or not is a secondary matter.

  1. Very nice, Horobin. I always like these in-depth analyses.

  2. In depth?

    In depth would be I get out your stats and character sheets, and start doing averages, and other such mathematics, this is a skim

  3. Still, at least you bother at all :) Everyone else seems totally fine hanging around with a bunch of sociopathic schizophrenics.

  4. The only Sociopath would be Chak, who is swiftly showing that he doesn't care about anyone, what with what he did to that bandit and Victor would be our resident Schizophrenic, although I doubt that's the right word "This is my familiar Ludin (Had to look up the proper spelling 'cause I'm anal retentive like that), isn't she cute?" 4 foot tall, gangly, quasi-planar, monstrosity, that's trailing ash and soot everywhere it goes while wearing a short-skirt. Cute is not the word I'd use, maybe "AAAAARGGGGHH, Get it away from me" or "DEAR SWEET BAPHOMET", or "yeeeeeeeaaaah, no"
