Gaius was abandoned by his parents at a young age, leading to him to joining a band of theives for survival purposes. One day they got intel that a noble's house was going to be empty for a few days, which lead to them planning to steal anytjing that wasn't nailed down. They set out the next night one heist they broke into a nobleman's house. The Intel they had been given had ended up being wrong and the nobleman was home that night. The group barely made it out alive, losing two members to capture. When the group returned to the camp there was a lot of in fighting that took place, that lead to the death of the leader. The group oddly remained strong for a few years, but that didn't last long. When he was 21, he was put to buy the food and tools they needed while the rest of the group remained at camp. When he returned the whole group was dead, and he had been framed as the perpetrator. He is since on the run and lives under various aliases over the years, his current one being Florus. His main goals are to become the best thief he can, and to clear his name.
What I have so far, I'm still planning more just need to think of how to put it to words

Yes
One thing im thinking of for his back story. To throw more trust issues for him, is that one of the members of the gang is actually alive and had murdered everyone and had done the framing of Florus
I also will try and to pay homage to Ambrose and you, by trying to give a Goose a knife

Oooh, that sounds good! More stuff to pile on him! Giving someone trust issues is always fun (today on 'sentences that shouldn't be taken out of context') And YES to the goose with the knife! Even if it doesn't work it'll be worth it!

"I roll to give the Goose a knife" "Why" "No reason, let me give it knife"
Yes XD make it interesting, but once he trusts people.hes ride or die and would commit crimes for you, want a person dead? Hes your man he'll make it happen. You want something someone else has?? He will gladly break into their house and steal it for you

And then the goose stabs everyone while mockingly honking at them. Turns out the little bastard is the ancestor of the Untitled Goose Game protag xD
Yup, sounds like a great guy. I guess winning his trust won't be easy, given his backstory, but it'll be worth the effort.

If he doesn't trust the group and manages to tame a goose he can use the feathered fiend to deal with them if it benefits him xD
Might put up some more starters. Also, I think Silke was going to the Training Grounds where Searc is. So you and Spark could have them try to beat each other again ^^ Or I throw Nora at one of them (she's currently at the Training Grounds) or have Konstantin observe the students there and approach Searc. He's always a bit curious about students who are nobles and have to deal with being seen as inferior to their crest-bearing siblings. I can also throw Néo at someone, preferably at one of the humans so I can have him being an ass xD
We also need someone to play the fifth bandit. So far I played one, Ember had one as well and Spark is playing two (one being the head bandit). So either Sussuru plays the last one or Ember and I decide which one of us wants them. Unless Spark wants to play three bandits, that is ^^

Ooo I'd be up for some Konstantin and Searc, and I adore Nèo so lemme maybe throw someone at him
Gaius: *sees there's a reward for one of his party members* Fredrick attack!! *throws the Goose at them* But I'm sure he will warm up to them, will just take time, I'm hyped the campaign starts this Monday >w< can't wait to use my rogue
I could do a second one if need be

Okay, I'll try to put up some posts for Konstantin and Néo then. The latter is still at the Fishing Pond but I can have him go somewhere else!
Wow, on monday? Cool! Can't wait to hear all about it ^^
I don't mind playing one either but since you're having Ambrose observe the battle and only Imrie actively participating while Spark and I both have two characters each fighting the bandits it's more fair to have either you or Sussuru play the last bandit. You know, since we had them use different weapons so far (yours had an axe, mine had a hatchet, Spark's have a lance, sword and a bow) the fifth one can maybe be another one who can attack from a distance if needed. Either daggers or a javelin. And a weapon for close combat too of course. Entirely up to you though if you wanna play them.

Since both Searc and Konstantin are good with lances (though Searc is training with a sword right now), do you think Searc would want to spar with him to test his skill and strength?
Oh man, I hope no one dies early on. Wanna know what weird stuff the group is up to, especially Gaius. Try not to accidentally turn a whole town against you xD
Sounds good! Also yay for gauntlets, I don't think anyone on the team uses them right now. Agnar has Brawl listed as one of his strengths but he only chose a sword and a bow for this assignment.

Alright, so I'll either have Konstantin watch Searc in particular or he's training too, both options could then cause Searc to challenge him. As for Néo, I'll probably have him leave the Pond area and wherever he goes then, he'll run into someone (maybe even literally).
I heard about some sessions where the group did well in battle but whenever they had to negotiate in some way they always threw a low number. The DMs had a lot of fun with this, having shopkeepers and entire towns attack the group or chase them out so I', lowkey hoping for something like that xD

Either option sounds good, but maybe the training one to fall more in line with a challenge being issued by searc, as for Neo I could have Elara leave the dining hall and that's how they collide since the fishing pond is right outside and let's me get more use for elara in
That sounds so fun XD I hope we get moments like that, even if I have to cause it by having Gaius steal from the wrong person

Okay, I'll do that then! And oh no, not Elara xD Oh, I'm totally down for this but dang, poor her! I think she, Jason and Callan would be the worst possible people to run into him. So hooray for that xD
As long as everyone's okay with that, I'd say go for it! Though it would also be hilarious if you'd somehow manage to throw a 20 for deception or something like that, tricking the shopkeeper despite obviously having stolen from them right in front of them xD

Hey Pine, do you remember when we planned out Rieka and Agnar having some tense interactions due to his wolf fang pendant and it kind of, just, didn't happen? Do you want to have that be a thing at some point? If they're on chore duty or training together perhaps because I can say that Rieka didn't notice it before ;^^
I've never played D&D and I think that's sad. I swear all my friends have! It's really hard to find in-person groups though.

Oh right xD Guess it makes sense for Rieka to not have noticed it yet because Agnar usually wears it around his wrist and keeps it hidden under his sleeve. As for the pendant causing tension, I think it depends on how Rieka views it. She knows what a wolf fang looks like so she might recognize that it isn't from some common wolf but from a demonic beast so I don't know if she'd take offense to it. But even if she doesn't mind, Agnar can't know that so he's probably a bit tense around the wolfskin. So yeah, I'm fine with her either getting the wrong idea, her not being offended by it after all or her being uncomfortable with it anyway.
To explain a bit for why he'd hate to be viewed as some greedy poacher, his village respects the animals they compete with and those they hunt and they despise poachers so they would never kill something just to get some cool accessory. As for Demonic Beasts, it is tradition for those who defeat one without the help of their hunting group for the first time to take something from the beast (a nail or a fang from a Giant Wolf, a claw or a feather from a Giant Bird...) and either put it somewhere in their home or keep it on their person. That's why Agnar and his brother both have a wolf fang pendant. Also, it's strictly forbidden for anyone in this village to actively seek out a Beast just to prove themself, as someone like that would be putting their pride before anything else and be shunned for being reckless. So if someone suddenly brings something from a demonic beast they'll be questioned first to make sure that they had not provoked the encounter and indeed only acted in self-defense. Of course, Rieka's tribe will probably not know that so Agnar has even more reason to think that his pendant might offend her.
Yeah, playing dnd sounds like so much fun! But finding a group is hard and finding the time for it is even harder.

First session went absolutely amazing XD
So funny moments -the group performed so terribly, that KS to a tone deaf bard, but we made a fisherman cry because he somehow foundeaning -florus/gaius might have befriended him by givong him a hug -we saved a kraken -we got to our destination to find death
I can elaborate on anything if need be

Sure, I could offer up either of my characters for that. Don't really care which one ^^ Callan is less experienced but unless his personal skill (boosts attack and crit but lowers avoid and defense when fighting next to or adjacent to a unit with less than 50% hp left) is triggered he's pretty good at evading attacks. But never having dealt with multiple opponents at once before could make him screw up on this. Agnar is more experienced but he's not as swift as Callan so it would make sense for him too, especially if he's using a Combat Art that trades power and accuracy for speed and avoid. Oh well, neither of them is gonna run home crying from this so it really doesn't matter to me who as to deal with the bandit's final attack xD

Regarding Agnar's wolf pendant, I was thinking that now that I know Rieka better, I don't think she'd be as bothered by it as much as I first thought, you know? So, perhaps the conversation could still come up sometime but we don't need to make it a big thing. As long as the trinket wasn't taken in order to gloat over the animal's death (which doesn't seem to be the case from what you said), they'd be cool. It's the potential lack of respect which might have led to a confrontation. And, Ember! I'm fascinated Wouldn't mind if you elaborated on everything. Also, kittens are confirmed! They'll be coming in six days (!). But now I'm stuck on trying to name them so if any of you have some ideas for names for two female kittens - one black, one grey - please help me out ^^'

Sounds good! I think Agnar will be still careful to keep it hidden at first since he can't possibly know how she'd think about it but yeah, I love how it won't actually be a big deal to her and he's just worried for nothing xD And yup, they don't take stuff from Demonic Beasts to gloat about it, those claws, fangs or feathers (or whatever they decide to take instead) are mostly meant to be a reminder of sorts. Of what exactly is mostly up to the individual as everyone decides for themself what important lesson they learnt from such a fight.
And yay, kittens!!! I'm slightly jealous but definitely happy for you ^^ As for names, no ideas yet but I think one of us here will come up with something within the next six days! Just don't name the grey one Fluffer McKitty xD
Now to the dnd session! You already had me at "tone deaf bard" and it only got better from there xD Like Sussuru said, go ahead and elaborate on everything! It all sounds amazing already so we wanna know more xD Mostly curious about the kraken for now.

Lol ight so
Tone deaf bard, sucks at playing instruments but believes he's amazing, is amazing at singing but thinks he sucks, love him
But anyways the bard forced mine and my other friends character into acting like a traveling performance group to try convince this fisherman to give us a boat so we can go to the forbidden forest, my character was not having it star9ng at the two in a what the ****/disgusted look, fisherman found meaning in our performance gave us a free boat and a bunch of free supplies, gaius gave him a hug and apologized for making him cry in which the fisherman gave him a hand written note, as we are now sailing in the ocean, it starts storming and we had the novel idea to make gaius be the one rowing despite him being the only one without darkvision so he has no clue where to he going and is begrudgingly relying on the other two, we come across a trapped kraken, who is chained up, we free it, then we free it's baby, they get us to the forest as payment, the baby kraken gives us a hug(we almost bambied it because we wanted to keep the baby kraken, we did not), and then we find the forest is wither8ng and dying away, and when we reach the center of the forest, we find all the guardians of it, who are the most powerful people in existence as they are descended from gods/gifted powered from gods, all murdered ✨️ and its meant to be a murder mystery type deal
So clearly it's my cup of tea

The bard sounds great. I love him already. The words "tone deaf bard" reminded me of a dnd video I watched once, or rather a comment summing up the whole group: "So we have a strategist with no plan, a charmless bard who is also tone deaf, an insane cannibal wolf lady, a barbarian who prefers the art of film to fighting, and a slow rogue. What a colorful bunch."
The group you guys have sounds just as weird, judging by their actions xD Trying to convince the fisherman with a crappy performance, even moving him to tears, is bad enough but assigning the only character without darkvision to rowing? Yup, this rules. And yay for freeing the kraken and its baby. Shame you didn't keep the little one xD And oooh, murder mystery kinda stuff! Now that's fun! So yeah, sounds pretty amazing so far! You guys definitely know how to make things fun. Oh, and what was on the handwritten note the fisherman gave to Gaius?

Oh no xD Fluffy ain't too bad though. Then again that's what Akakios calls Tahvo, what with him giving dumb nicknames to the beastkin xD But man, kinda wish I had tried to come up with some stuff for the kittens. Work was hell today so trying to name kittens would have been a fun distraction from the awful heat ^^ Okay, tuesday and wednesday were even warmer but today sucked too because it was awfully humid.

Oh, it's hot over there too? Britain has been going through a mini heatwave so I feel your pain! It got so warm in my bedroom that I had to put up an airbed downstairs in order to get any sleep. Still got plenty of time to come up with kitten stuff - until Tuesday to be exact (though, who knows, might wait to get to know them a little before I officially name them) ^^ Would love to hear your ideas since I'm still undecided! EDIT: Not the best quality but heres a picture.
