Hi everyone. As the title says, I am looking for one more player to join my bardic dragon heist. The party have completed chapter 1 and so characters will be level 2.

To apply, please provide the following information: 

• Character name
• Race
• Intended subclass (You don't need to stick with this choice when you level up to level 3. Final subclass choices can be a discussion between the party for balance)
• Stats (roll here, rerolling 1s always and if the total before racial modifiers is less than 72, you can reroll. Or choose point buy)
• Brief backstory explaining why you are joining the party (the current party all knew each other from before the campaign as a travelling band. You can be a former member if you wish, looking to rejoin the band, or you can be a new member seeking them out)

I am looking for a quick turnaround so that the new person can join before we get into the thick of chapter 2 (we are literally just starting it), so provided this gets interest, I will be closing this probably on Monday 15th, around 9am GMT

I have never played a Bard before, so I think I will give it a try. Here it goes…..

Name: Happy the Hippy Half-Elf

Class: Bard

Stats: I used Standard Array…it’s just something I’m comfortable with.

Backstory: His real name is Shpick Ohly, but everyone calls him Happy. He has always been laid back and never had a care in the world. His Mother, a skilled Wizard fell in love with a local Human musician, and after a really crazy night, his father bolted and his mother was left with a memory, who grew up to be Shpick. Happy never had much drive, but he loved stories, his drums, and to travel. After being kicked out of the house by his mother, Happy grabbed his drum and belongings, and ventured forth into the world. 
I think Happy will have known the rest of the party, because he used to “crash on their floor” in the past, so he is searching them out because he is needing to get away from his old lady for a while.

I think I will play Happy as a stoner, similar to Spicoli from fast Times and Shaggy from Scooby Doo. And, yes, he will say “Man” and “Bruh” a lot.

 For what it’s worth, I can vouch that the cited numbers are indeed what was rolled initially. That said, it’s always better to roll in one post and then quote your rolls in a new post that has all the text.

Ability scores: 14 18 14 16 15 16

• Character name - Toser Sipplewapple
• Race - Gnome
• Intended subclass - College of Tragedy - would consider Valor or Creation
• Stats Ability scores: 10 13 12 14 16 16
• Brief backstory explaining why you are joining the party - Toser was born to a family of traveling performers, and from a young age he felt the pull of the stage. He learned to play various instruments and developed his singing voice by performing in taverns and at festivals alongside his parents. Gavin's charm and wit quickly won over audiences, earning him a reputation as a talented bard.
  
  But tragedy struck when Toser's family was attacked by bandits on the road. His parents were killed in the ambush, leaving him orphaned and alone. Stricken with grief, Toser turned to his music for solace, channeling his emotions into heartfelt ballads that spoke of loss and resilience. Determined to honor his family's memory through his artistry, he set out on a journey across the land, seeking adventure while sharing tales of love and sorrow with all who would listen.  He has found himself in Waterdeep and overhears the story of the exploits of another group and is determined to join up with them. 

No, he will not be played in the stereotypical jovial jokster, prankster, small bard

• Character name: Mana
• Race: Verdan
• Intended subclass: Maybe Valor, but open to discussion
• Stats: 15 17 16 11 15 16
• Brief backstory: Mana first crossed paths with these performers when one of them tossed a coin into his tin cup during one of his street performances in a seedier section of Daggerford. Mana recognized they were fellow performers by their accoutrements and clothing. He, desiring an escape from his urchin ways, stealthfully followed them and caught their performance in a tavern’s courtyard from a nearby tree. It seemed to him that their skill far exceeded his own, but he longed to join them. For the weeks that the troupe performed in Daggerford, he would steal away into or near to the shows and watch in amazement. During the intervening hours between concerts, he slithered his way back into the back alleyways and hidden places to practice his own craft on his flute. He never felt ready to approach them. Then one day he could find no more flyers tacked to community boards for their next venue. He entered the last known establishments where they had stayed or performed and inquired where they had gone. Filtering through the rumors, conjectures, and testimonies, he was pretty sure they left on the North road to Waterdeep. By now, the troupe had at least a couple of days head start, but Mana had screwed on his courage and gathered his things. There wasn’t much holding him to Daggerford, so he gathered his meager belongings and set off to find them. Maybe he could offer to be their roadie …

I had a chaotic day today so will be closing this tomorrow morning instead (about 16 hours from now)

This is closed now

I will post again once the replacement has been chosen, but I want to make sure the group are happy with it too.

Decision has been made and the two lucky people were added to the group pm
