Here's the ones in my current DS game.
Anoch of the Wastes- 14th level Mul fighter/ranger/knight of the claw
Slava Kachuk- 13th level Half elf (Way Blessed) bard/ranger
Ruk- 15th level Halfling Psion(psychoknesis)
Creed- 14th level Mul gladiator/mul paragon
Rage- Aurmvorax animal companion of Creed
Jessix- 15th level Elf rogue/presserver/arcane trickester
Pordwons 6th water cleric/1st ranger Female Halfling
Rithos 7th level fighter Male Human
Mentoc, "the Mind Taker" 2nd Bard/5th psion Male Human
Recently Decessed and player gone away to school
:Valborg the Vicious 6th level Pyschic Warrior Male Mul
Recently sold into slavery, for deserting the Urikite Army when a Nightmare Beast attacked the city, played by the same person as Mentoc :evillaugh :
Fezick Barbarian 2nd/Fighter 2nd/soon to be Gladiator 1st or dead
Draxis - male human Cleric (water) 9
Ptellac Terrorclaw - male pterran Psion (telepath) 6 / Pterran Paragon 3
Vok - male mul Gladiator 3 / Mul Paragon 3 / Barbarian 1 / Arena Champion 1
Nefen ar Taran'dai - male elf Scout 5 / Preserver (evoker) 3
Zaloc - male human Ranger 8
Nefen and Zaloc are both owed a level-up, iirc. Zaloc will almost certainly choose ranger again, and I reckon that Nefen will go for another level in Preserver after getting all gooey over Korgunard ;)
Until then, time to adjust the rules!
Stigg, Human Fighter/Rogue/Shadow Dancer
Aklar, Human Earth Cleric
Benj, Human Fighter/Kuotogha
Roth, Half-elf Defiler/Psion/Cerebromancer
The characters thus far (in the order in which they began) are as follows:
Tomer - male human rogue7/wizard (preserver)3/shadow wizard2 from Tyr. Presently off saving the world, despite having been "awarded" a baby girl for his exploits in the Grinning Gith (an inn of Tyr). Also has used his treasures to pay for the building of the So-ut's Den, a tavern of his own.
Aliphian - male half-elven psion (kineticist)7 IIRC, from Nibenay. betrayed the other PCs, then player left, so he became an NPC. presently in Nibenay, scheming.
Laenip - male human ranger6/fighter2/psychic warrior2/earth cleric 2 from Alturuk. The closest he's come to dying is still from a cactus. The grey touched, pakubrazi-tainted belgoi defiler/ leech (a royal defiler of Urik's "play toy") was also pretty close. Still alive though.
"Air Singer" - female elven air cleric3. too paranoid to reveal her real name to strangers, she lasted through all of 2 encounters. deceased
Ghurs - male half-giant gladiator5 from Tyr. taken out by a mul gladiator. corpse was raised by the same NPC who coerced Aliphian into betraying the others. currently in Nibenay, undead. deceased, sort of
Levark - male half-elven air cleric5. suffered from amnesia through most of his adventures. his player moved, just as his memories were "returned" to him. presently wandering Athas.
Sebik - male human psion (egoist)12 from Tyr. he's basically become a student of Korgunard's, so he's just about to get a big surprise.:evillaugh
Seniv - female halfling ranger2/psion (nomad)2 IIRC. played by one my supervisors at work, she stopped coming once she realized my friend Chris wasn't goin to come. hee hee. so her character just returned to her homeland in the Forest Ridge.
Ciolis - male elven wizard (preserver)2/rogue3 IIRC. Played by Chris, who finally started showing. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. But alas, he took a half-giant's club to the face. That took him out of the game, but still his corpse was laying within the range of a burning hands spell. So extra well done. deceased
N'krik'tik - male thri-kreen psychic warrior4 IIRC. nobody seemed to like the guy who played him, so he didn't last too long. ;) The character however was around for a while longer, until his untimely end by the hands of a elven raiding party. deceased
Elthriin - male elven fighter2/wizard (preserver)2. LOL. :D This character met his untimely end after he had found out one of the NPC's involved in the story was in possession of a magical ring. He took it upon himself to aquire this ring, and so he tracked this particular NPC down. They fought, of course. The NPC wrestled him to ground (even though her strength was nothing compared to his
), only to have him pin her arm. He made a called shot to cut off her finger (to which I was like "yeah, sure, why not"), and surprised us all by rolling a natural 20!!!! BUT...instead of finishing her off, he went for the RING!!!, giving her just enough time to gank him in the back a couple of times (just enough so that within the next few rounds, the NPC finished him off, and recovered the ring). deceased??? - male ??? rogue2/wizard (preserver)2 IIRC. I for the life of me can't remember much about this guy, as he lasted MAYBE one session - not to mention being 1 of the many PCs played by the same guy, all of who died (even his non DS characters
). deceasedNedswa - female dwarven fighter 3 from Kled. my girlfriends one time attempt at joining in on the fun. :P
Meelar - male mul gladiator3 from Urik. was freed from Makla, only to, days later, have his face eaten off by a pair of dark spiders. deceased
Crom - male dwarven earth cleric from Urik. was freed from the slave pits of Urik, only to, minutes later, have his skull skewered by a half-giant's polearm. deceased
Doriak - male mul fighter5 IIRC, from Urik. helped out in rescueing Korgunard, made his way to Tyr, and would've continued making a name for himself, but his player moved to Arizona. And so, in Tyr he remains.
Guek - male dwarven gladiator5 IIRC. helped out in rescueing Korgunard, made his way to Kled, and would've continued making a name for himself, but his player moved to the next town over (and too busy with his band to come chill with his friends :P ). So in Kled he remains.
Maruka - male human bard2/air cleric3 IIRC. the rookie of the bunch, he's already died (at the hands of the grey touched, pakubrazi-tainted belgoi defiler/ leech), but luckily the egoist had/has the ability to bring him back to life.
Also I've just recently started another campaign, primarily to showcase the gladiatorial concept. The characters for that are:
Enuk - male New Race gladiator
Agrum - male mul gladiator
Shatter Star- male dwarven earth cleric 4/psion 1
Daemon- male mul gladiator 8
Ashryn- male human sorcerer 5/psion 4
Tem- male half-elf psychic warrior 6/rogue 3
Old Campaign and part-timers:
Psycho- human male psionicist (psychokenitic)12 psiologist kit 2e
Angaris- human male psionicist (psychometabolism) 13 psiologist kit (my old PC in 2e)
Gak- Thri-kreen female Gladiator 10 (used 4 broadswords in 2e)
Link- half-elf male Bard 13 2e
Garvannon- half-giant male hack'em master 6 (aka brute, aka barbarian)
Tenzut- human wizard (spec. necromancer) 15
Mad Martigan- human male fighter 12 (way to much Willow)
Tosser - Half Giant Bard4. Very intelligent and calculating, yet he portrays himself as being slow, dimwitted. . . typical half giant.
Soul - Githzerai Soulknife5 Imported by Dregoth, for Dregoth, but thrownback because he just wasn't what Dregoth was looking for. Githyanki are much better grunts)
Durkan - Dwarf Cleric7 (of water). Not too much to distinguish this one really.
Bonk - Halfling Ranger7 (or was it Ranger6/Fighter1.. hmmmm). Bonk, lover of the bath chits. When they group escaped slavery, and finally made it to an inn with female slaves to help bathe patrons, Bonk was forever tainted
Everyone is ECL 7. Everyone is new to Dark Sun, so it wasn't too surprising when they were escaping the palace of Abalach Re, they stopped to explain themselves (Durkan and Soul anyway, Bonk and Tosser had a bit of sense and ran when they had the chance) when the patrolling templar and a couple guards started to chase them down to subdue them.
I do keep a running event log, timeline and such, of my game at my website, if anyone is interested. Just click my name here and select my home page and scroll down to the "my darksun" section, or whatever it is I called it. I set it up so that the players could post stuff too, but so far they have been board shy when it comes to posting stuff...
Valborg the Vicious 6th level Pyschic Warrior Male Mul
Valborg is a typical old ladies name in Norway.Our current gaming situation is 2 one-on-one games. We had to move out to BFE, so it is just me and my blessedly game-obsessed hubby.
In the DS game the PC (me) is a human rogue/mage/psion. She is being trained by various Balican agents to be a spy for Andropinis. What fun.
The other 1-1 is a "regular world" game. I haven't decided yet whether it is Forgotten Realms or not. My husband's PC is a young girl who grew up on a desert island.
:evillaugh , If you knew the character you would understand how oddly appropriate that is.
If you knew the character you would understand how oddly appropriate that is.
I'm glad I don't.
Parallel 1-
Dendri (NPC)A ruhl-than wanderer far from home, he left because of his draw to studying the forbidden arts of magic along with his druidic studies (dr3/pr2)
Karoke- A former gladitorial slave who won his freedom is a most spectacular arena match, he is gruff and sees the world as filled with potential enemies but his combat skills are above reproach (gla6)
Carna- A young cleric who has left her parents gaming establishment in Salt View, at first to investigate the appearance of a
Defiler in the area, she has now been drawn into a game that may change her life forever, she has been manipulated and used by people with power, and also has made great friends along the way. (Cl of Water 6)
Utaya Dawnchaser (recently deceased)- An elven runner who nearly died in the Mekillot Mtns were it not for the intervention of Carna, sadly after leaving Salt View with Carna she perished in a pitched battle with a lone Kreen in the Sandy Wastes, but not before laying enough dmg into it to allow her comrades vistory. (died at Rg4)
Tch'kok- Carna's best friend, a Jozhal wilder, he is both loyal and shy. He does not speak with his mouth instead opting to use his wild talent: commune, oddly though he speaks many languages he can only do so with his mind, having relied on it for far too long.
Parallel 2-
Phyo Marr- A young bard, daughter of one of Athas' most notorious poison masters. She was lost to a slaver in a bet long ago and taken from her father, on her own she decided to follow his path, and was used primarily to tip the scales in arena bouts, as she would "entertain" her Mistress's gladiators she would use poison applications on their weapons, giving them an edge so her Mistress could win more in the betting. She was freed under mysterious circumstances, ones that leave her to believe her father may still live and have a vested interest in her. She intervened in a battle that two templars were losing with an Elven Assassin. She has become an ally of the templarate and joined the city guard as an entertainer/guard, she sees the world of Athas through different eyes than the other characters, seeing the good that law and order Can bring. (Bard 4)
Captain Zalcor- NPC- Yep THAT Captain Zalcor of the Tyrian guard, he is Phyo's guardian angel in the guard and watchesout for her carefully. (Fi7)
Syrrin- A young tyrian templar, he sees the acts of the templarate in a dual light, he knows that they can be harsh but believes it to be in the best interest of maintaining peace in Tyr. (Temp 5)
Parallel 3-
Kee~lay~qui Dion- This young slave utilized her knowledge of poisons and her devious nature to secure a deal with a woman seeking her daughters freedom, she was provided with a drug that allowed her to coerce a guardsman in her masters house to slay the slaves during which confusion she faked both her and the young girls death, escaping into the night, she has bobbed her half elven ears to appear more human. And lives in fear of discovery, though she not worry the guard confessed and was executed just as planned, her fear that member of merchant house Iserlam would recognize her led her to flee Nibenay with her companion Karr'ck and a new found friend Kivanya. (Rog4/ Bard 2)
Karr'ck- A kreen ranger warrior who set out into the table lands to better understand soft shells, he is an anaethema to his people, in that instead of just being what he was born to be he strives to be more. He fails to comprehend the ways of the humanoids, and doesn't understand duplicity and deceit, he is naive in a refreshing sense, and his attempts at humanoid speech are fun (He has no lips and the player speaks with his lips pulled back, making it all the more convincing. Rang3/ Fi 3)
Kivanya- A halfling rogue who also studies arts that she would rather her companions not learn of, she is a creature of the senses willing to try anything new. She does not defile out of malice but out of impatience, akin to early Sadira's mistake, She is infatuated with Kee~lay~qui Dion as they have recently had an affair, she was drugged during a fight in Nibenay, and was carried in a stupor from the city, with little choice but to join her new foind companions, she is not looking back, for a life lived in boredom is not a life she cares to live. (Rog3/ Def2)
Also as I said a player is looking into playing a Dromite, but I have yet to allow it and so he is waiting for an appearance once I finalize my opinion on the Dromite race.
