Rekersh has been called back from the borders to aid in this quest. He’s a natural born spirit caller, bringing beasts he’s never really even understood into his being. It’s left him somewhat susceptible to the magical influence of others, but no one swings the glaive like he does, or takes a hit like him, either.

Casting my name into the pot if still looking.
Name: Badok
Class: Cleric (Life, Nature, Tempest, or War - whichever best meets parties needs)
Stats: Ability scores: 91518121313
Backstory: Badok was a shepherd in his youth. He cared for his tribes herd animals (cattle, goats, sheep,etc.). He was trained by the tribes warrior's to defend himself and the herd. One night a minor earthquake struck and the herd lead animal fell into a great crack in the earth. Badok could see the animal; but not reach it even with his shepherd's crook. He would need to enter the earth himself to save the animal. He did so fearfully & rescued the animal; but he was struck by falling rubble and knocked unconscious. The other shepherds found him and brought him back to the tribes camp. There he rested unconscious for 7 days in a fever dream. The elders thought he would surely journey to the other side; but he did not. In his fever dream, he was visited by an entity (insert power name; but for now I'll call her the Earth Mother) who had witnessed his action & measured his spirit. She wanted to give him an opportunity to serve her & by doing so better serve his tribe. Daunted by her presence, Badok accepted & awoke as her follower. He travels the land healing and teaching her ways to his people.
Backstory: Abandoned as an infant for being born small, Domir was taken in and raised in a monastery. Domir spent his childhood learning to use his undersized orc build to his advantage. He trained rigorously early on and saw little results, but once he was able to take control of his emotion and anger toward the family and clan that gave him away, he began to excel in his training. As an adult he returned to his clan, laughed at by some and threatened by others. Domir was asked to prove himself to regain a place in his clan. He survived a 2 week trial in the dessert and returned to defeat Grakageth, the most renowned warrior in the fighting arena. Now, he is revered in his clan. He lives atop a dune outside the settlement, alone. He lives a quiet life protecting and helping those who need it, and giving hope to those who feel they were born out of place.

Character name: Zenothar
Class: Cleric - Tempest Domain
Backstory: Zenothar was raised and groomer to be part of a small sect of the tribe. Selected at birth to take on the role of a priest. His training was harsh as a child, whenever the rare chance of a storm came into the desert during the rainy season, Zenothar was forced outside to endure the elements. Storm chasers they were called. Through his faith he has harnessed the power of the gods of thunder and lightening to aid his people.
If you make a good orc-blooded character with a decent backstory, we can work together to change and edit certain things to make it fit the world better.
Just keep in mind that these are uncivilized orc clans living in a desert.

Name: Morigar Grusbak
Class: Fighter (Cavalier)
Backstory: Morigar was in the scouting parties on mounts. Learned how to fight on the ground and in the saddle, protecting his comrades with his body, killing anything that threatened their way of life. He got kicked out for disobeying his leader and now travels in search of something to fight for.
Backstory: Davrok is a survivalist, a big game hunter in the vast wasteland of sand, turning the hunter into the hunted, the carnivore into the meat. Providing for his tribe in this harsh land is demanding, and he shows the scars of many difficult battles. As the most capable unmarried warrior in the tribe, Davrok is sent on behalf of the tribe to determine the cause of the magic mutations.

Gerrard Feldren - Human Noble in Ghosts of Saltmarsh
Kerric Brightblade - Elven Warrior in "Apocalypse"
Kept the name and stats. Changed to ranger, didn’t know to go archery or melee depending on the roles of the other members. But went melee. Zenothar has spent his life’s work on the edges of the horde. Scouting out new territory, being the hidden eyes that watched for other tribes incursion into our lands. Tracking others that sought to steal and run from the people. He looks to continue doing what he can to protect his people.
Okay that's cool, I'll edit the character. Thanks!

So, is the whole warrior thing in the description at the top, still happening, is it yet to occur, or has it passed?

Davrok is up to try again if you want him...
Gerrard Feldren - Human Noble in Ghosts of Saltmarsh
Kerric Brightblade - Elven Warrior in "Apocalypse"
We got 2 spots filled, just need someone to replace our warlock.
Did you want a Warlock? I thought you said we didn't need to make the same classes that dropped out.
You don’t, I’m saying that we need to replace the player that had a warlock.
😃

Can we know what two spots got filled? I may tweak or make a new application if a cleric got added already.
We got a cleric and a fighter filled. Our party also has a wizard and a druid.
