Quote from Bananer28046 >>

Standing on the rooftop of a building near the Sphinx is a tall figure wearing a cloak that billows in the wind, carrying a shortsword with a bow strapped to their back. Before you can get a close look at them, they leap down from the building and onto the next, where they jump onto the street. 

There’s a scream from about where they come from. 

And then a few minutes later, they reemerge on the rooftop, shortsword bloody.

 A man walks up to the building, and stares at the person

 The person stares down at the man. They have pale white skin, black hair, and gray eyes that look bloodthirsty. “Come up and meet me at my level.” They say, their voice raspy.

 "Why must i?"

erinyes' longsword

Attack: 26 Damage: 12 + 6

Attack: 9 Damage: 8 + 17

Drake 1:
Attack: 18 Damage: 14 STR save
Attack: 34 Damage: 21 STR save

Cesspanon:

1st Attack: 24 Damage: 5 + 10

2nd Attack: 18 Damage: 9 + 11

3rd Attack: 14 Damage: 11 + 15

 STR save succeeds, 3 hits. The drake turns its focus to Cesspanon now, slashing with its claws.

Attack: 34 Damage: 26 STR save
Attack: 27 Damage: 18 STR save

*Hello Cyno!*

Quote from UnicycleLydia >>

 "Do you want me to come with? I don't mind." Nylon's gaze lingers on the trion for quite a bit, not finishing their thought as they stare at it. "I'm not as fast as you, so you might want to just start running in a direction. I'll help if you call." They stare still at the figure, watching as it fights with vested curiosity of their own. I'm not sure what I stand to gain from winning. Or from death. Their interest is apparent. Is that a member of the high guard you happen to recognize? 

Maikka stays completely still, as if to show that he's listening. "I will come back to check on you, I think. I would like to kill a bird." They pause for a moment, looking back at Nylon, then racing off southwards like a cheetah. That is one of the newer section heads of House Azerlius. Capable, as most trion tend to be.  

 They nod and watch him run off for a second before turning back to the trion. Interesting. They hm to themselves as they wait. Picking off the fodder seems like little more than rude, but.. I think I would like to see how things play out.

 Rude is not an issue to be concerned with on the battlefield, Nylon. If you wish to win, truly, your goal is to eliminate your opponents. Think of it as a mercy.

 Two longbow attacks, trip attack on any hit

Attack: 13 Damage: 9 & Attack: 11 Damage: 5. Trip attack: 2 & a DC 15 Str save or fall prone & (hopefully) take 14 fall damage

 Neither hit, and the bird swoops down for another attack. 

Attack: 29 Damage: 31
Attack: 12 Damage: 11

 *oh boy we’re in death saves*
14

 *Oh also killing floor rule, if you succeed all your death saves, you go back to 1 hp.* She hears a gunshot, as a bullet blows the bird's head clean off. Its body falls to the ground, bones shattering like glass. A shadow flits across her view, thin in stature with cybernetic legs, a black tattered cloak wrapped carefully around them. They carry a single pistol, black hair done in a messy, low bun. The person pauses a moment, standing in front of her. They tilt their head, like a cat.

 *rolling three since i already have one of each*
7 24  18 

 *Success, you're back up.*

The newcomer points their gun at her. "How many points do you have?" They ask, in a rather uninterested monotone.

Quote from The_DragonTamer >>

*yay, the ranged one's dead*

A skeleton gets in a lucky hit, but Fives blocks the drakes' attacks with a field of energy. They cast Ashardalon's stride and lift 30 feet into the air with a blast of flame. Once airborne, they target one of the drakes with thorn whip, dragging it into the air before letting it splat back to the ground. 

Fire damage: 4

Thorn attack: 23

Thorn damage: 10

Fall damage: 3

 The drake is hooked upwards, but the damage seems to do nearly nothing, the drake rolling back to its feet and leaping upwards again, with a running start. When it crests 30 ft, it makes its two attacks-- however, Fives notices that the other skeletons seem to have their attention turned to a very shiny Imerral, who has cleaved through one of them.

Attack: 28 Damage: 9 STR save
Attack: 25 Damage: 8 STR save

*I hope that's okay with Cyno*

 *If you'd like lore on the Underdark, I can provide that. Also can I have more information about your character?*

He walks into the building, they appear on the roof a few minutes later

 The figure is tall, their hair black hair wavy and smooth. Their eyes are a piercing gray, their skin a pale white. They wear a brown cloak made of soft cotton, and a set of studded leather armor that shines in the moonlight. The straps of their leather armor are arranged to create a small circle, and the circle has a small white sphere, a pearl, slipped inside of it with bumps and ridges that make it look a bit like the moon. The pants the figure wears are simple, soft and baggy but difficult to make noise with. Their boots are long, reaching up to their knees, yet they make no sound.

 *I don't really have information on the characters, most of the characters that i make, are a version of me, with some flaws, so i can play them better, other than Karl*

******ANNOUNCEMENT:

I think some of you have made Zaidan characters already which is very cool, but I think for continuity sake I'm going to ask that people who make Zaidan characters come to me first so I can give you more lore about where your character might be from, or what may or may not be in Zaidan. I didn't give a ton of information in my first post, and my sourcebook only has so much in it, so as a future reference if you'd like a Zaidan character go ahead and talk to me and I'll give you a more detailed description about where that character may fit.

Also, would you mind me having an Aboleth on here?*
