A precious trinket of yours was stolen, perhaps a family heirloom or trinket of value to a significant other, how would your character respond?

You come upon a great treasure hoard in the town well, cleverly hidden by somebody. Rubies, sapphires, gold and other riches in amounts you have never seen before, the town has been busy with strange figures lately, how would your character respond?

Hi Mathizsias,

I wish I could join, but alas I have DM-ed this adventure earlier. The timezone and the bi-weekly arrangement would fit me perfectly. I will keep my eyes open hoping to see another announcement from you after this adventure has concluded. :)
Good luck and have fun!

p.s.:
The calendar event says Thursday, 2nd Feb, but your post above says games will be held on Wednesdays.

Thanks for the tip, I'll reach out to you via PM. The current campaign has somewhat deviated from the beaten path. ;)

Player name: Jacob / Lyvern
Player age: 23
Experience with tabletop RPG's: Played 3.5e, 4e, and 5th. By far the most with 5th.
Experience with FG: Played briefly in two campaigns on FG, though both petered out. Might need a quick refresher, but nothing too in depth.
Experience with D&D 5e: Several years DMing and playing.

Character idea?
>>Ky, Dragonborn Paladin<<-
Ky would likely be a young Paladin, fresh out of his training, still naive with pure ideals. He would uphold his god's tenets without questions- until given a reason to question them. Used to being around other, similar youths, he'd be surprised, or confused if more, ahem, resourceful allies suggested doing something he viewed as bad. He'd likely change over the course of the campaign, as he learns more about the world and his allies. He would want some type of grand quest/adventure that one might read about in books. Since those don't come about every day, he'd settle for something that pays the bills, for now, while gathering experience adventuring.

I'm very flexible on characters- If Ky doesn't quite match up with the party/your world, I can easily switch.


About you and why should I pick you?
Hiya, my name is Jacob. Online I typically go by Lyvern, or just Ly. I've been wanting to join a good campaign for a while now, but haven't had much luck. I've got loads of 5e experience, and have played it nearly since release. When it comes to playing, I'm typically quiet to start, but open up more as I grow used to the group. I'm always looking to have a fun time- not just for myself, but for everyone involved. I'll always put the fun of the group first. Your time works for me- it'd be about 3pm on Wednesdays, and I'm off at 1pn (I'm in EST.) Additionally, I've played just the very beginning of LMoP- and I'm pretty sure the DM put in a good amount of homebrew content, but said campaign didn't last more than 2 or 3 sessions, so almost all of it is still new to me.

A precious trinket of yours was stolen, perhaps a family heirloom or trinket of value to a significant other, how would your character respond?
Ky would be seriously offended- theft is, of course, wrong. He would go to lengths to get the stolen item back, as well as teporting the thief to local authority. While he might give a few good bruises to the person who took it, he wouldn't go so far as to kill.

You come upon a great treasure hoard in the town well, cleverly hidden by somebody. Rubies, sapphires, gold and other riches in amounts you have never seen before, the town has been busy with strange figures lately, how would your character respond?
Ky would want to determine if it seems stolen or not. If it's a cache of some sort, hidden away by someone to keep their own fortune safe, he would likely cover it up and be on his way. Maybe even leave a little hand-written note suggesting they improve it in some way. If it was clearly the stash of a band of thieves or rogues, he'd get in touch with the local guard.

Tyranny of Dragons basically is Rise of Tiamat and Hoard of the Dragon Queen.

[Valesima]

K, I'll take that as a no.

[Mathizsias]

Sadly, if you know the plot, I have to pass on your application. Thanks for applying though. :)

Experience with FG: Got the ultimate license and been running games constantly.
Experience with D&D 5e: Game master since Next.

Character idea?
--Since I am not aware what are the needs of the party I will just pick the following. If there is a need for a specific role though, I will be more than happy to fill it. --

Zophil the Tall, Halfling Rogue.
After being in the streets for too long Zophil had enough. I will become the best rogue this damn city has seen. No more should I be looked down, mistreated or manipulated, the future is holding greatness, treasure and... Zophil gets slapped in the face and returns to reality. Yes Master your...your... your...food is ready... I...I...I will be with you in two seconds... One day... One day I'll be free.

About you and why should I pick you?

Long time Game master of multiple Rpg's. I am pretty much always the game master so I rarely find a game as a player. Once I do I make sure my experience will help glue the group together since that's the most difficult part of online games. I know the difficulties a game master faces so I most certainly wont cause you any difficulties or troubles.

A precious trinket of yours was stolen, perhaps a family heirloom or trinket of value to a significant other, how would your character respond?

I would start organizing my plan of identifying the thief. I am to scared to confront the thief but I will make sure that I can will get it back with my silent and stealthy approach. Perhaps I might teach him a lesson or two. He should know not to steal from the greatest and tallest Halfling in the city.

Finally!! I was searching for my rubies for months!! My precious are back!!! Pick them up fast and make sure no one sees me! RUN FOREST RUNNNNNNN.

1st Character idea?
>>Character name, race, class<<- Fill out your character's background, goals, ideals, why she or he would go adventuring, etc.
Kellen Nim
Forest Gnome, Ranger 2 Rogue 3 (Thief)
Kellen's parent's were killed when he was young whilst being trained to hunt & track animals. Kellen couldn't face being in the same town he lost his parents so set out with his few possessions trying to find work but there wasn't much work for someone specialising in tracking people he ended up on the streets young homeless barely getting enough coin to get by. Word got out once the other homeless people shared their food & used his talent to find their loved ones get them off the street. This led him to be taken in by the other thieves guild quickly riding up using his skills to find track and pickpocket marks. He finished his basic thief training and decided to travel to get more training maybe find those who killed his parents maybe get something shiny in the process.


A precious trinket of yours was stolen, perhaps a family heirloom or trinket of value to a significant other, how would your character respond?
Use all my knowledge of underground networks & urban tracking skills to find the guy hunters mark if I have to maybe leave an arrow in their thigh when I find them. My trinkets are all I have left from home.


Why should you pick me?
There is no rogue in the group you need someone with quick hands. I haven't played many d & d sessions so all this would be new to me something new enjoyable & fun. I don't have anything fixed weekly so would be able to make sessions.


Only issue currently is I'm in Guam till 6th of June. So might be able to start 7th depends on jet lag.

I look for magic weapons for magic armour anything that might help me catch people steal things or protect myself if there isn't anything like that look for as much as i can steal without people noticing or making it seem like I was there.

I have just seen the above post is someone else wanting to play a rogue so if space for both I have a second option
2nd Character Choice:
Character Idea:
Lightfoot Halfling Trickery domain cleric

The son of a rich noble had many perks, the toys whenever he wanted never going hungry ... but what it didn't come with was friends. All the other kids were out playing whilst Erric was stuck inside being dragged to court meetings told to sit outside and wait for his father. He prayed daily for friends but got nothing, until one day Leira answered taught him tricks tricks to let him convince his dad to let him go outside to actually see the world, but by then it was too late. He was a man now he had to go out and explore the world find new friends follow Leira's path and have fun with people along the way....

Hunt down those who were responsible manipulating and charming those along the way to help get it back.

Thoughts on playing a Kender?

[Mathizsias]

Thoughts on playing a Kender?

No thoughts really, mechanically they don't exist within my campaign set in the Forgotten Realms - they're not within the boundaries of my player's creation rules either. I wonder why you'd ask?

That's why I ask. The questions that you have proposed would be intriguing to say the least using a Kender. I've seen stranger things than crossing sets.

[Mathizsias]

The questions are there to gauge player commitment, creativity and interpretation, I hadn't thought of it in the context of race. I suppose any Halfling or Gnome could fit the bill of a Kender in personality traits.
