You bury your daggar into the heart of the final gnoll and survey the scene. Blood, carnage, and destruction up and down the dirt road and well into the surrounding woods. You group up with your party, assess your wounds, and thank the Gods that everyone escaped the skirmish intact.

Akmong nervously stands atop the cart. You turn your head upwards towards him as he begins to speak.

"Everyone seems to be mostly unharmed...good, that's good." he says as he trails off a bit. "We should make camp here for the night. I'm sure we can all use a long rest after that, I know I can."

Akmong reaches a trembling hand out towards his crow and roughly and awkwardly pats it on the head.

"We leave at first light! Lets get a ways off this road and into the woods."

Side Quest #1: Background

As you doze off, you think about how you got here. Choose a background that you think fits your character the best from the following list

Spoiler

+

Acolyte You have spent your life in the service of a temple to a specific god or pantheon of gods. You act as an intermediary between the realm of the holy and the mortal world, performing sacred rites and offering sacrifices in order to conduct worshipers into the presence of the divine. You are not necessarily a cleric—performing sacred rites is not the same thing as channeling divine power. Criminal You are an experienced criminal with a history of breaking the law. You have spent a lot of time among other criminals and still have contacts within the criminal underworld. You’re far closer than most people to the world of murder, theft, and violence that pervades the underbelly of civilization, and you have survived up to this point by flouting the rules and regulations of society. Folk Hero You come from a humble social rank, but you are destined for so much more. Already the people of your home village regard you as their champion, and your destiny calls you to stand against the tyrants and monsters that threaten the common folk everywhere. Noble You understand wealth, power, and privilege. You carry a noble title, and your family owns land, collects taxes, and wields significant political influence. You might be a pampered aristocrat unfamiliar with work or discomfort, a former merchant just elevated to the nobility, or a disinherited scoundrel with a disproportionate sense of entitlement. Or you could be an honest, hard-working landowner who cares deeply about the people who live and work on your land, keenly aware of your responsibility to them. Sage You spent years learning the lore of the multiverse. You scoured manuscripts, studied scrolls, and listened to the greatest experts on the subjects that interest you. Your efforts have made you a master in your fields of study. Soldier War has been your life for as long as you care to remember. You trained as a youth, studied the use of weapons and armor, learned basic survival techniques, including how to stay alive on the battlefield. You might have been part of a standing national army or a mercenary company, or perhaps a member of a local militia who rose to prominence during a recent war.

Bonus Quest #1: Campfire Stories

The group at large decide to get a fire going. You spend the night huddled around it for warmth and light, sharing your past adventures and tales with rival party members.

For an additional ten gold pieces, tell a story about your past to the group. Must be a few sentences at minimum.


Deadline is 7 pm EST.
