Tales of Belleterra, Adventurer's Guild!

[OMFG]

 

The Adventurer's Guild, what once attracted ambitious people, like moths to a light, now sat as a shadow of it's former glory.

 

Here is where you find yourself, answering a desperate call for volunteers.

 

You enter through the doors.

 

"Ah! A volunteer, welcome, welcome!" A voice calls out from the back.

 

An older gentleman limps out, his cane supporting his weight. 

 

"Again, welcome volunteer, I am Drondos, the guild master. As I'm sure you know we are...lacking in new members. The realm has been suffering quite the turmoil lately."

 

Drondos pauses dramatically, moving the the closest window, he speaks openly as if lost in his own thoughts.

 

"Yes..they say magic has come back into the realm...An ancient magic, once thought lost. The Elves of Mytelshys, once thought to be near extinct have been spotted crossing into Criorther.."

 

"It is our job to find out what exactly has caused the return of such magic, and to assist the common folk from the monsters."

 

"You will be part of an elite squad of adventurers, together you will travel the land, and fight all kinds of for, and restore glory to our guild!"

 

The old man turns to you, and retrieves a sheet of paper from his breast pocket.

 

"But first, it's required that you fill out this sheet, please try not to leave anything blank!"

Name: Muggy Whoopsire 

 

Race: Locathah

 

Class: Rouge 

 

Age: 20

 

Backstory: Muggy was supposed to join the elite warriors of his race to go on an epic undersea quest...but they left him behind. He now has a deep desire to share in the thrilling adventure that was denied to him. He planned on operating as the group sneaky boi, who would be able to talk his way out of dangerous situations. He has a big fat face and beady black eyes, so he’s kinda cute? For a fish man, anyway. But he also kinda dumb. Charming MF, tho, relying on his diplomatic skills in many situations. He stays close to the shore now, one of the only of his race to prefer the land. He wonders to this day how his group was able to forget about him. It has not occurred to him that they didn’t take him on purpose. Which may have been the best thing, because that party never came back.

This works perfect!

I love the bio too, as I don't really think I'll be a super duper, Debbie downer DM.

So, how does this part work? For example, a hill dwarf has a +2 to constitution and +1 to wisdom, neither of which are stats I see under the attributes section. Should we be ignoring racial modifiers?

I have a similar question. I did not add any racial bonuses to those stats. Which ones would I add? This species gets STR+2 and DEX+1, should I apply those? 

[OMFG]

Ehhhh...gimme a sec here.

Probably should've posted this after I get off work.

 

Try to balance things out, if you get a +2 in intelligence, give yourself a -1 in strength.

If you give yourself a +2 in endurance, give yourself a -1 in agility.

 

We're playing pretty loose here, the abilities will only come up in dire circumstances.

Name: Jumps-From-Cliffs (Cliff)

 

Race: Leonin 

   

Class: Barbarian 

   

Age: ~25 

   

Backstory: Born in the freezing mountains, Cliff came to emulate the attributes of the mountain beasts-strength, grace, and a bit of luck. The 7-foot tall giant of a cat moves as swiftly and silently as his feral brethren. He earned his name leaping from great heights to catch his prey, relying on his athletic ability and good fortune.  
From high in the mountains one can see for miles, and Cliff yearned to explore the lands he saw stretched out before him. When he came down and heard tales of a guild specializing in adventure, Cliff couldn’t resist his curiosity.

Name: Elbine (No family name to give)

 

Race: Elf/Tabaxi

 

Class: Ranger

 

Age: Unknown even to the character.

 

Backstory:

Born a full fledged Tabaxi, its village was attacked and set ablaze by bandits. Alone and left to die inside a burning tent, a young welping kitten cries for help. It's savior would come in the form of an Elven woman, who would raise the kitten as her own child. This act however would cause the Elf to be shunned from her homeland, and stripped of her family title and all belongings aside from some simple tools and a bow to keep them alive.

For years, the elf would train the kitten in all she she knew of archery, of stealth, and of theft. After all, being shunned from her homeland, meant she also no longer had to abide by the laws of the land. However, one night As the Kitten waited at home, for its adopted mother to return, instead, the kitten was greeted by one of the elven elders who dropped a sack at the door of the camp.

"Don't let us see you near our village again." The Elder demanded before turning to leave.

Upon opening the sack, the kitten would find the head of its adopted mother.

Not much else is known of this cat, but one thing is for sure, they never seen the kitten in the village. In fact looking at a map, the village the kitten talks about, has not been seen or heard from in a very long time.
