A bit of bookkeeping before we begin. You will begin the game with no equipment except for spell components for prepared spells, a Shiv (Improvised dagger 1d4 - 1) for the damage member, and 1 gold. These items you have smuggled in to the holding area through a extraordinary combination of intelligence, cunning, and luck.
(Out of context, keep the starting equipment that is appropriate for your class and background on your sheet, but make sure it is unequipped so as to not alter your stats. If there is a question, please ask.)
1. Can i keep my heavy armor on due to "Integrated Protection" because I'm playing a warforged?
2. For the Shiv, can i have 2 of them and hide them inside my arms such as Armblades? I have the two - weapon fighting style currently
3. For warforged, from a roleplaying point of view, what are the limitations i can do with my body? (I.E. Can i remove my arm at will and reattach it? Can i spin my head 360 and take it off etc...)
Hi, Yom Doo, SpellJammer mechanic and Tank at your service. Artificer/Armorer/Guardian, using Heavy Armour and Dual Wielding Thunder Gauntlets as weapons.
The names boulevard the ship's entertainment, and utility role of the party at your service. I carry a 4 inch dagger and a magic lute that allows me to cast spells that help allies and hurt enemies at the same time.
“Yom… Yom Doo”. The man who nods at you is humanoid, 6 ft. tall with an athletic stocky build. His skin is sky blue, eyes a crimson red, and perfect white teeth show behind a wry smile. His body is encased in tight fitting, almost “flexible” heavy metallic armour made of strips of metal, which appears unusual, as they were stripped prior to now. He wears no helm on his bald head, and his hands appear to be manacles behind his back, metallic gauntlets still on his hands.
"Greetings" says boulevard. The man is about 7 feet tall with leather boots and vest with a red button up shirt underneath. He has a beard, a Robin hood hat, and a scarf. With a lute that looks like it's been repaired not too long ago. He also has a little pouch on his side to keep mementos from his travels.
You begin in total natural darkness. This is expected, as it has been the same for a while. (Make an insight check to estimate how long.)
You only have light when one of the guards comes to bring food or change the waste bucket at some irregular interval. You know from one of these intervals that the collar around your neck attaches to a chain that runs to the collar of three other prisoners.
"So what are you guys in for?" Questioned boulevard. "I'm in for disturbing the peace." "Turns out people here don't like being woken up early with singing." "I've been here for 6 months. What about you?"
Yom looked around with his mono-colour Infravision… three others. How long had he been here ? His memory was foggy, but he thought he remembered how many times the guard had come, how many times he had eaten, gone to the toilet. He was 1’n/th on the chain of four, and at first he wasn’t sure the others had seen him nod in the dark or heard him whisper his name.
“…In for”… he remembered walking, then… darkness… unnatural, magical.. then a rain of blows on his head, then unconsciousness, then… here…
“I demanded payment from those with the power to not pay”.
He wasn’t concerned, they couldn’t take his armour or gauntlets, and ChtkCha was still embedded in his chest, immobile and undetected. His lock-picks were still in his left gauntlet, but his pouches and bag were gone. It was only a matter of time before his escape.
/OOC Skill 9 to see how long here.. Insight or Investigation ? I am looking around at the light, how thirsty/hungry, filth, injuries from the manacles etc… (not asking someone). Add the relevant modifier as you see fit.
/OOC ChatkCha is my Homunculus Infusion, in the form of a tiny flat triangular wedge ~1 lb. in weight, with a white pearl embedded in the middle. When immobile it’s embedded in the chest armour of Yom, looking like part of the armour, and “latched” on.
(OOC Currently, only StunZeed12 and Azathool have been invited to the campaign. Also, the link to this private thread was only shared with them as well. I suspect Monstersbedamned is a new account created by one of the other two, as the creation date is 12/26. The intent of this is to play test some encounters and mechanics intended for a live game. As such, I prefer not to have the coordination of two characters being played by the same player. I've invited a healer with some caveats. If they are interested, that makes 3 players. I'll leave recruitment open until 12/28 or a likely Utility player applies. If we do not get a good 4th application before that time, I will also invite Monstersbedamned.
Feel free to talk amongst yourselves, noting that you can't see without creating a light source, dark vision, or some other means.)
The room is 10' by 15' with one door in the middle of the wooden walls. The door is made of iron bars with a sliding solid iron 1' by 1' panel in the bottom to slide in food and out waste.
A Warforged is in position 1. on the chain. An intricately armored man is in position 2. on the chain. (Other positions will be revealed as they are known). Someone unseen is talking to you from a nearby cell.

"Ohh... Hello! Did not realize i was not alone in here! I am Ronin...". Static then begins and the voice changes into a prerecorded answering machine, "designation number 2-0-7-7."
The static then changes back to its previous state, "According to these beings who arrested me, i have been charged with stowing away on a private commercial vehicle and aggravated assault. I was boarding an airship and then proceeded to my storage unit. When i left the unit after my shut down period has been completed, i suddenly saw the stars and became confused on the vessel i was in. Then, i was suddenly attacked by the strange otherworldly beings with very little time to respond. After taking a few of them down, more came and restrained me. Then, after rendering me of my weapons... by force, they chained me and through me in here..."
"anyway, thats my story... may i ask where the F**k am I?"
You are in a wooden cell. Also, you have been there for 37.175 days. Details are sketchy, but time you are sure of. Also, there is no north polarity.
Yom Doo
The subtle tactile, audible, and arcane vibrations let you know there is a Spelljammer running, helm model: Civil Proletariat 3.5. You have maintenanced dozens over the years and even bought and sold a few.
There are 504 screws in the walls of your cell.
There are no weak or rusted bars in the iron door.
You wake up, in the dark, like usual. You don't remember how long it has been this way. There is a collar around your neck and you are chained to another person on each side of you.
504 screws, manacles, barred iron doors, guards… this was serious. It was hard to know exactly the size of the ship and crew complement, but they had a good Jammer Helm installed, one of his favourites that could haul a good size.
Making a clicking noise with his tongue and mouth and tapping his fingers, a small dim red light appears on his chest, illuminating the cell just enough to see by the crimson glow. First a Warforged, then himself, next a Human but; not quite.. the eyes, something else.… and the last of the chain, he could not see, whoever it was was turned away, face in shadows.
“I’ll get“ (and Yom makes a double click with his tongue that sounds like ’ChatkCha’) “to take a peek outside the bars, see if we are alone or guarded”. Some more clicks and taps of his fingers, and the red light on his chest dims, and in the darkness you hear a slight whir that recedes in volume towards the door. After a few minutes a series of coloured lights flash*.
/OOC *Homunculus/li cannot speak, they only understand the spoken languages of the creator, so Common and Thri-kreen.. But they have an INT and WIS of 10. In my design I have 3 Tinkered Lights on ball bearings (Green/Red/White) with a glass filters to allow 0-100% of each 5’+5’ light radius through. Communication “of a basic kind” is then possible. Green = Yes/Good, Red = No/Danger, White = a count.. So 3 guards would be Red, White, White, White. Rapid flashing of all three for warnings etc.
/OOC Tell ChatkCha to let a little bit of light from the: Tinkered Ball Bearing (Red Light) to show through to see the other party members, then re-dim and with Infravision go take a peek at the door bars to see if there are any guards outside, then report back on if it looks like there are any guards outside the door, and if so how many.
"Oh hey... so i don't need to eat your meatbag food, and I'm pretty sure that other guy that sounds like me does need to either. So feel free to help yourself for all the food you fleashy types need." Ronin says outload to the darkness.

I have a question who's playing?
Hi, Im the Damage player!
Few questions:
1. Can i keep my heavy armor on due to "Integrated Protection" because I'm playing a warforged?
2. For the Shiv, can i have 2 of them and hide them inside my arms such as Armblades? I have the two - weapon fighting style currently
3. For warforged, from a roleplaying point of view, what are the limitations i can do with my body? (I.E. Can i remove my arm at will and reattach it? Can i spin my head 360 and take it off etc...)
