====Alain====
Male Half-Ogre Paladin of Bahamut/Sorceror.

Player: TigerWolfe

====Angimander====
Male Half-Orc Barbarian / Ranger.

Player: Ominous Presence


As if growing up as a second class citizen among his father's people wasn't bad enough, a run-in with a Mind Flayer that did not expect him to bite back left Angimander hideously scarred and wandering the Underdark dazed and alone. Eventually he stumbled back up to the surface and was taken in by Soven, a cleric of Lathander. Too prone to rage and suspicion of unfamiliar people to be a decent cleric himself, he set out to rid the world of the unnatural things that scrabble at the edges of civilization.

Angimander has spent the last couple of years roaming the Dalelands in search of abominations to slay. He bears significant scars from the tentacles of the illithid that nearly killed him, often obscuring his face, neck and hands with a wide-brimmed hat, thick scarf, and gloves. Though a good-natured soul (he has a special weakness for strays), he is quiet around people until he gets to know them. Recently contacted by the cleric who aided him in the past, Man is seeking answers to the uneasy stirring among the Furfolk and their dread whispers of the Horror.

====[[Alardan Graywander]]====
Male Human Warlock. 

Player: Talisman

====Nigel Helmsley====
Male Human Bard 6
NG
Player: Mitch


Background: Nigel was the fourth son of a wealthy baron. As such, his oldest brother inherited the lion’s share of their father’s estate, with nothing left for himself. Rather than be treated as a well-dressed vassal by his family, he decided to make his own way in the world. 
His travels took him to Bryn Shander, where the Furfolk had settled the area. Fascinated by them and their history, he set about learning as much as he could about them. What passed for a local library had been neglected, so he saw an opportunity to improve the community, while pursuing his research.

Appearance: A thin human in his mid-20’s. He has grey eyes, and neatly-trimmed brown hair. He is clean-shaven, with permanently ink-stained fingers. Around town, he wears a simple scholar’s outfit. When abroad, he prefers a finely-made chain shirt complemented by a sturdy traveler’s ensemble, with a rapier at his hip.

Bardic Knowledge: A bard may make a special bardic knowledge check with a bonus equal to his level + his Intelligence modifier to see whether he knows some relevant information about local notable people, legendary items, or noteworthy places. This check will not reveal the powers of a magic item but may give a hint as to its general function. The bard may not take 10 or take 20 on this check; this sort of knowledge is essentially random. The DM will determine the Difficulty Class of the check by referring to the table below.

DC	Type of Knowledge
10	Common, known by at least a substantial minority of the local population.
20	Uncommon but available, known by only a few people in the area.
25	Obscure, known by few, hard to come by.
30	Extremely obscure, known by very few, possibly forgotten by most who once knew it, possibly known only by those who don't understand the significance of the knowledge.

Bardic Music: 6/day 
Inspire Courage: A bard with 3 or more ranks in Perform can to inspire courage in his or her allies. To be affected, an ally must hear the bard sing for a full round. The effect lasts as long as the bard sings and for 5 rounds after the bard stops singing (or 5 rounds after the ally can no longer hear the bard). While singing, the bard can fight but cannot cast spells, activate magic items by spell completion (such as scrolls), or activate magic items by magic word (such as wands). Affected allies receive a +2 morale bonus to saving throws against charm and fear effects and a +1 morale bonus to attack and weapon damage rolls.  Inspire courage is a supernatural, mind-affecting ability. 
Countersong: A bard with 3 or more ranks in Perform can counter magical effects that depend on sound (but not spells that simply have verbal components). As with inspire courage, a bard may sing, play, or recite a countersong while taking other mundane actions, but not magical actions. Each round of the countersong, the bard makes a Perform check. Any creature within 30 feet of the bard (including the bard) who is affected by a sonic or language-dependent magical attack may use the bard's Perform check result in place of his saving throw if, after rolling the saving throw, the Perform check result proves to be better. The bard may keep up the countersong for 10 rounds. Countersong is a supernatural ability. 
Fascinate: A bard with 3 or more ranks in Perform can cause a single creature to become fascinated with him. The creature to be fascinated must be able to see and hear the bard and must be within 90 feet. The bard must also see the creature. The creature must be able to pay attention to the bard. The distraction of a nearby combat or other dangers prevents the ability from working. The bard makes a Perform check, and the target can negate the effect with a Will saving throw equal to or greater than the bard's check result. If the saving throw succeeds, the bard cannot attempt to fascinate that creature again for 24 hours. If the saving throw fails, the creature sits quietly and listens to the song for up to 1 round per level of the bard. While fascinated, the target's Spot and Listen checks suffer a -4 penalty. Any potential threat (such as an ally of the bard moving behind the fascinated creature) allows the fascinated creature a second saving throw against a new Perform check result. Any obvious threat, such as casting a spell, drawing a sword, or aiming, automatically breaks the effect.

While fascinating (or attempting to fascinate) a creature, the bard must concentrate, as if casting or maintaining a spell. Fascinate is a spell-like, mind- affecting charm ability.

Inspire Competence: A bard with 6 or more ranks in Perform can help an ally succeed at a task. The ally must be able to see and hear the bard and must be within 30 feet. The bard must also see the creature. The ally gets a +2 competence bonus on his skill checks with a particular skill as long as he or she continues to hear the bard's music. The DM may rule that certain uses of this ability are infeasible. The bard can maintain the effect for 2 minutes (long enough for the ally to take 20). Inspire competence is a supernatural, mind-affecting ability.

Suggestion (Sp): A bard of 6th level or higher with 9 or more ranks in a Perform skill can make a suggestion (as the spell) to a creature that he has already fascinated (see above). Using this ability does not break the bard’s concentration on the fascinate effect, nor does it allow a second saving throw against the fascinate effect.
You influence the actions of the target creature by suggesting a course of activity (limited to a sentence or two). The suggestion must be worded in such a manner as to make the activity sound reasonable. Asking the creature to do some obviously harmful act automatically negates the effect of the spell.
The suggested course of activity can continue for the entire duration. If the suggested activity can be completed in a shorter time, the spell ends when the subject finishes what it was asked to do. You can instead specify conditions that will trigger a special activity during the duration. If the condition is not met before the spell duration expires, the activity is not performed.
A very reasonable suggestion causes the save to be made with a penalty (such as –1 or –2).

 Midnight, Black Tomcat Familiar of no fixed abode... 
   
Notes: Katrin and Midnight, of no fixed abode, go wandering Icewind Dale in search of herbs and rare plants, and new portents in nature.

The more outrageous something she says is, the more the hearer should worry. Why? Despite her fiercely independent nature, Katrin does not lie, and will retreat into silence if accused of doing so lest she lose her temper. A familiar with sharp claws ever alert to their partner in magic moods is something she's had to learn to live with the consequences of.

Katrin favors dark greens and black in clothing, and is not particularly worried about fashion, or convention in women's attire, but prides herself on cleanliness (Where possible in the wilderness!) and comfort in appearance. She is slightly bewildered by some races extremes of fashion, and mixes styles as she pleases, with a weakness for dramatic cloaks, and anything with pockets.

She has no great respect for authority, but values kindness and compassion as well as a ready wit, and honesty in speech and deed. Her opinions on Elves are as scathing as her opinions on Humans, Dwarves, Orcs or Dragons, Men, Women, be they Lords and Ladies or Commoners of the lowest rank - "It's the individual person I judge the actions of, not the whole damned tribe!"

Her most oft repeated comment on Faith is "Angels fall from grace, and sometimes Demons rise to it. There's no telling how these things will turn out once even the slightest hope gets involved, and that, my friend, is what keeps even almighty gods and infernal overlords on their toes!"

She does not discuss her childhood or relatives if she can avoid it, to the point of rude bluntness.

Katrin also does not tolerate cruelty to children or animals, to the point of inflicting violence on those who do so in her presence.

She believes in unicorns, and one Unicorn in particular, that being Lady Lurue Silverymoon, The Laughter In The Forest...
