Looking to run a Curse of Strahd campaign, adventurers find themselves in the town of Daggerford and Duchess Morwen of Daggerford is having guests for dinner — and you are invited. You all are no strangers to Daggerford, and are familiar with the town and people. Why were you invited to the dinner? Were you a respected adventurer who’s come to the town’s aid before? Or perhaps a political or shady individual who was quite shocked to be invited by the Duchess? How does your character feel about being spontaneously invited?
Looking for a party of about 4-5, apply with a character concept and general stat block, roll for it. We start at level 1, milestone leveling, and starting equipment is standard unless you have any ideas then ask me. Feel free to ask any questions. My first PbP but I’m an experienced DM, just looking for a little more D&D in my life.

Half the time when he touched someone theyd get shocked, sometimes people ended up just keeping their distance to avoid the annoyance. That didnt stop him from becoming a big name in trades. He often found himself travelling town to town making money for delivering goods, this made him quite the name. When his odd ball powers sprouted up so much the better! Gekks was able to travel to places others werent as he was his own personal defense. So what if he had to travel alone through most of these jobs and the fear and anxiety that weighed him down made him super jumpy due to his fear of dying alone? Thats no worry.... Right?
Quote: “Stay clean and always look your best! People always judge by your looks, so you have tot look top top!”
Backstory: Quintin is the first born of a high born elf family and he acts like it. He grew up with a lavish lifestyle everyone always waiting on his hand and foot never really had to do anything himself. He went to top schools and had private tutors so was well ahead of anyone of his age so he thought. His grandfather who is the bead of the family told him to get some life experience and learn how the real world works and helped set up a meeting with the Duchess for which he presumes was for political power.
Name: Tahnis Grey, Half-elf Ranger Horizon Walker Quote: "Let me write this down. Sorry, it's just we don't have talking cats on Krynn. Mother never told me about this." Backstory: Tahnis was born on a different world - one where knights rode on dragons - and named after one of its greatest heroes. His mother, Elenya an elven bard and warrior, was from Evereka and left Faerun to live with his father, Johnathon an archdruid and Steel Legionnaire. Elenya became a sheriff's deputy for the town of Solace and started training her son in various investigation techniques while Johnathon showed Tahnis the importance of nature. As a family, they went around Krynn, visiting various landmarks. When he came of age, Tahnis' parents - mostly his father - encouraged him to travel to Faerun and explore his mother's homeworld. They gave him a book containing a list of their favorite landmarks and cities, as well as warnings like "Stay away from Undermountain." He can be seen carrying a book and making notes about the various sights and sounds.

Name: Dimmodeus Dimms Race: Rock Gnome Class: Artificer (possibly alchemist or battle smith) Reason to be invited: Dimmodeus is not sure why he would be invited to a a dinner by lady Morowen. perhaps she is interested in his abilities to invent, create and build various technical contraptions. His skill in working metal into fine parts is only rivaled by dwarfes, which to be fair, thought him his skills as a smith.

Name: Fluin Draqmore
Race: Mountain Dwarf
Class: Barbarian
Background: soldier
Quote: "By me beard get out of me way."
Backstory:
Fluin worked as a guard for merchants traveling between Waterdeep and Baldur's gate. He is currently out of work, and heading back towards Baldur's Gate at a leasurely pace.
Backstory: Ray grew up alone on the streets of the city. He discovered at a young age that he was fast and a natural at fighting and began to do it for money. He did not like taking the hits though, so he began to drink to help roll with the punches a bit more. Street fights, tournaments and plenty of tavern brawls honed his self taught fighting style. His favorite things to do are drinking, fighting, giving terrible and unwanted advice and sleeping. He is always looking for a friend to share a drink with and does not like to be alone. He receives a summons from the Duchess and it doesn't even surprise him that's she'd seek his wisdom and council.
“As Gruumsh says, get out of the way or get my mace in your skull!”
Ketch’s tribe we’re civilized, by half orc standards, though not by anybody else’s. He grew up fierce and a fighter, but he also took an interest in the teaching of the tribe’s holy man. It was through his lessons, and beatings, that Ketch came to understand what Gruumsh was all about - the beauty of battle, the joy of combat, the wonders of war! Ketch extols his beliefs, not by spreading violence but by relishing it when it occurs, in encouraging others to embrace the struggle of it, to accept the invigorating freedom of life and death struggles that make all other concerns fall by the wayside... Ketch doesn’t preach violence, he preaches that it should be fully enjoyed, celebrated and participated in when it happens. There is nothing more liberating than a punch in the face - it shows you undoubtably who your opponent is!
So not an insane instigator, just a full and joyous participant!
Likely invited as many would find an almost civilized half orc cleric an amusing oddity. Likely accepted for the chance it could lead to some interesting chances for violence...
Quote: "Who do I kill?" (In the whispered voice of a young, sad girl)
Backstory: Separated from her flock, she made her way to the streets, where she has done whatever she needs to survive. Lately she has been hiring herself out as a spy/assassin in hopes that she can scrape by that way. The invitation is exiting to her, because it may be her first real job opportunity. But she is slightly nervous to be around so many people because of her trouble communicating

We're doing one small murder-y thing for a bigger, better reason. The ends justify the means.
