Character Background
At the tender age of thirteen Solan's small fishing community was raided by orcs and razed to the ground. His father and mother were killed, his sister and uncle unaccounted for but likely dead. It was here in the ashes of his broken home that Solan swore bloody vengeance against those that had wronged him. His good soul was clouded by the black cloud of grief and for a time it consumed him.

Solan took up his father's notched sword and tracked the raiders to their camp. He struck from the shadows and killed many before the camp was roused and he was forced to retreat to the forests surrounding his home. For weeks he avoided and ambushed the scouts of the raiding party until their leaders had suffered losses enough to move their entire group away from the "Shadowed Slayer".

The young warrior set out after them but fell prey to a hydra in the woods. He escaped from the beast but was left gravely wounded. Hanging tenuously onto the strands of his life he was saved by the grace of a cleric of Kelvemor and taken to their church to be healed. Solan grew up in the church surrounded by the faithful of the God of death. When he came of age he heard the call of the Death God and became a Paladin devoted to the black church.

The seasons passed and Solan gained the title "Righteous" as he travelled the land in the service of his faith. His travels eventually took him to Gladius and the arena. It is here that he would find his calling. Kelvemor had propelled him along the path fate had paved for his destiny, but that destiny remained a shadowed enigma to all.

05-20-06, 01:00 PM Strolling the streets of his new home, Solan listens to the talk around him and considers his future carefully. He is comfortable with the CEF. Perhaps that is the calling that he feels within himself.
Settling onto a bench near a fountain, he observes a group of women getting jars of water when he hears the words 'orcish raiders.'
Iced
05-21-06, 02:54 AM Solan's manner instantly changes from one of casual and calm contemplation to one of concentrated purpose. His hand goes to the weapon at his hip and he tenses for a second before relaxing his muscles and smoothing his facial features. Assuming a pleasant smile, he sidles casually closer to the women.
MitzaVolchenko
05-21-06, 12:37 PM Listening to the women he ascertains that there is a band of orcs, known raiders and pillagers up and down the coast, headed toward Gladius to sell off some special piece of loot. The gossip varies as to what it might be, but the concensus is htat there can only be one buyer. The buyer's identity is a mystery.

As the women wander toawrd their homes, Solan remembers what brought him here in the first place...remembers why he is no longer comfortably living with his family. It is too good to be true that they remains of that band might be nearby...but if no that band, surely another like it...another band of orcs that ruin the lives of the innocent.

You are aware that you have no sword, right? There is a sword in your background, but no sword anywhere else on your character sheet. We shall see if you can remedy that with this quest.
Iced
05-21-06, 03:30 PM All these thoughts flew through Solan's head as he strode toward his quarters in Gladius. Reaching the stables a few minutes later, he saddles his mount and heads towards the church.

The clerics of the God of Justice sit at prayer when Solan arrives, but finish soonafter and a white-haired priest in the traditional tabard of his Diety stands to meet Solan. After a few moments of explanation the man nods his head and asks Solan to wait while he petitions the information.

Ten minutes later Solan rides for the city gates with a much clearer picture of what he's up against and their whereabouts. The clerics of the God of Justice know those who further their faith...

05-21-06, 04:09 PM Give me tactics for dealing with a band of 6 orcs on the forest map. You will not know their precise locations, so keep it general. If I hit a snag, I'll hold it for you to switch tactics as needed.
Iced
05-21-06, 04:45 PM Use charge with the lance as much as possible to take advantage of Solan's fighting feats. If I end up in close melee use armor spikes and have the horse attack as well. If I end up at range (melee is preferred) then use the bow with ride-by-attack to fire and end my movement behind cover. Solan's a warrior, pretty straightforward.

05-23-06, 05:24 AM Initiatives:

Orcs=13
Solan=6

For the purpose of visualization I am using the forest map, however the terrain isnot as described, so anyone from the peanut gallery please do not chastise me for movement differences that I am choosing to use. It is for nice colorful visualization purposes only!

http://www.hwx.it/coco/coco.php;v=1;map=forest;a=Sola,L,5,61;b= Orc1,M,32,31;c=Orc2,M,30,33;d=Orc3,M,34, 32;e=Orc4,M,32,35;f=Orc5,M,17,54;style=s

Solan rides bravely out to find the camp of orcs he has heard about. Anger and hatred threaten to cloud his sense and sanity.

The unfamiliar sounds of the forest have him jumping at shadows as he makes his way to where he believes the orcs to be. Finally he comes to a thinning of the trees and spies his foes, setting his lance he makes ready for battle.

Orc5 spies his approach and shouts a warning as it launches a javelin at him missing completely and giving away its position in the treetops.
The other orcs here the warning cry and move to meet the oncoming threat.
Solan charges at the orcs screaming in rage.

http://www.hwx.it/coco/coco.php;v=1;map=forest;a=Sola,L,5,61,13 ,53,21,45;b=Orc1,M,32,31,26,34;c=Orc2,M, 30,33,31,38;d=Orc3,M,34,32,30,36;e=Orc4, M,32,35,28,40;f=Orc5,M,17,54;style=s

Orc5 throws another javelin which clangs uselessly off of Solan's armor.
The other orcs advance with the nasty looking falchions drawn.
Solan charges an orc (20!) obliterating it.

http://www.hwx.it/coco/coco.php;v=1;map=forest;a=Sola,L,21,45,2 2,37,22,30;b=Orc1,M,26,34,24,37;c=Orc2,M ,31,38,26,39;d=Orc3,M,30,36,28,39;e=Orc4 ,M,28,40,24,41;f=Orc5,M,17,54;style=s

Orc5 starts strings a bow ahving run out of javelins and being slightly smarter than his frinds.
The other orcs rush as a horde to try to flank Solan.
Solan charges a second orc (14dmg) dropping it dead and provoking an AoO as he moves past another orc (miss).

http://www.hwx.it/coco/coco.php;v=1;map=forest;a=Sola,L,22,30,2 2,35,24,42;b=Orc1,M,24,37,Dead;c=Orc2,M, 26,39,23,36,Dead;d=Orc3,M,28,39,25,36;e= Orc4,M,24,41,22,38;f=Orc5,M,17,54;style= s

Orcs 1&2 are dead.
Orcs 3&4 charge at Solan howling and provoking an AoO on one of them which drops that orc to the ground.
Remaining Orc on groung swings on Solan (24!, does not confirm, hit for 9dmg).
Orc5 shoots at Solan (21!, does not confirm, does 8dmg).
Solan attacks the near orc (11, hit against reduced AC due to charge for 6) dropping it unconscious.

http://www.hwx.it/coco/coco.php;v=1;map=forest;a=Sola,L,24,42;b =Orc1,M,24,37,Dead;c=Orc2,M,23,36,Dead;d =Orc3,M,25,36,25,41,Dead;e=Orc4,M,22,38, 23,41,Dead;f=Orc5,M,17,54;style=s

Orc5 shoots at Solan missing.
Solan drops his lance and draws his bow returning fire (20, hit for 5 dmg).

Orc5 throws his bow out of the tree and raises his arms in surrender.
"Me quits! No kills!

At this point Solan is victorious. Will he accept the surrender? The rest of this is RP and can take place at any time.
Iced
05-24-06, 11:36 PM Solan rides up, the adrenaline of battle coursing through his vains and the blood of his enemies coating his body. "March!" he growls, prodding the orc with his lance. "We're going back to Gladius and if you try to run I will be forced to end your life."
MitzaVolchenko
05-25-06, 06:49 AM "Me knows whose you is. Mes comes to gives gift to yous...good gift. Mes give gift, yous lets mes go..." the whining tone of the orc's poorly pronounced common grates on Solan's nerves, but something in the tone makes Solan think the orc may actually have soemthing important.
Iced
05-25-06, 10:30 PM Solan halts and glares down at the raider. His eyes glitter with a bluish sheen for a moment as he activates his paladin ability to detect evil.
MitzaVolchenko
05-26-06, 04:55 AM He is evil, no two ways about it. He is also probably lying about the gift part of it, but he probably does ahve something you want.

"Yous wants yous must promise lets mes goes else yous never gets whats yous wants. Mes knows yous wants. Yeps you does!" the conviction in its voice and the hate and greed in its desperate eyes are rather moving in a repulsive sort of way.
Iced
05-26-06, 10:43 AM "I have no time to bargain with you criminal, I refuse to be beguiled by the foul promises of a murderer. You will be taken to Gladius and it is there that you will ocnfess your sins." Solan prods the orc with the tip of his lance and gets him scurrying back in the right direction.

It is for nice colorful visualization purposes only! http://www.hwx.it/coco/coco.php;v=1;map=forest;a=Sola,L,5,61;b= Orc1,M,32,31;c=Orc2,M,30,33;d=Orc3,M,34, 32;e=Orc4,M,32,35;f=Orc5,M,17,54;style=s Solan rides bravely out to find the camp of orcs he has heard about. Anger and hatred threaten to cloud his sense and sanity. The unfamiliar sounds of the forest have him jumping at shadows as he makes his way to where he believes the orcs to be. Finally he comes to a thinning of the trees and spies his foes, setting his lance he makes ready for battle. Orc5 spies his approach and shouts a warning as it launches a javelin at him missing completely and giving away its position in the treetops. The other orcs here the warning cry and move to meet the oncoming threat. Solan charges at the orcs screaming in rage. http://www.hwx.it/coco/coco.php;v=1;map=forest;a=Sola,L,5,61,13 ,53,21,45;b=Orc1,M,32,31,26,34;c=Orc2,M, 30,33,31,38;d=Orc3,M,34,32,30,36;e=Orc4, M,32,35,28,40;f=Orc5,M,17,54;style=s Orc5 throws another javelin which clangs uselessly off of Solan's armor. The other orcs advance with the nasty looking falchions drawn. Solan charges an orc (20!) obliterating it. http://www.hwx.it/coco/coco.php;v=1;map=forest;a=Sola,L,21,45,2 2,37,22,30;b=Orc1,M,26,34,24,37;c=Orc2,M ,31,38,26,39;d=Orc3,M,30,36,28,39;e=Orc4 ,M,28,40,24,41;f=Orc5,M,17,54;style=s Orc5 starts strings a bow ahving run out of javelins and being slightly smarter than his frinds. The other orcs rush as a horde to try to flank Solan. Solan charges a second orc (14dmg) dropping it dead and provoking an AoO as he moves past another orc (miss). http://www.hwx.it/coco/coco.php;v=1;map=forest;a=Sola,L,22,30,2 2,35,24,42;b=Orc1,M,24,37,Dead;c=Orc2,M, 26,39,23,36,Dead;d=Orc3,M,28,39,25,36;e= Orc4,M,24,41,22,38;f=Orc5,M,17,54;style= s Orcs 1&2 are dead. Orcs 3&4 charge at Solan howling and provoking an AoO on one of them which drops that orc to the ground. Remaining Orc on groung swings on Solan (24!, does not confirm, hit for 9dmg). Orc5 shoots at Solan (21!, does not confirm, does 8dmg). Solan attacks the near orc (11, hit against reduced AC due to charge for 6) dropping it unconscious. http://www.hwx.it/coco/coco.php;v=1;map=forest;a=Sola,L,24,42;b =Orc1,M,24,37,Dead;c=Orc2,M,23,36,Dead;d =Orc3,M,25,36,25,41,Dead;e=Orc4,M,22,38, 23,41,Dead;f=Orc5,M,17,54;style=s Orc5 shoots at Solan missing. Solan drops his lance and draws his bow returning fire (20, hit for 5 dmg). Orc5 throws his bow out of the tree and raises his arms in surrender. "Me quits! No kills! At this point Solan is victorious. Will he accept the surrender? The rest of this is RP and can take place at any time.
Iced 05-24-06, 11:36 PM	Solan rides up, the adrenaline of battle coursing through his vains and the blood of his enemies coating his body. "March!" he growls, prodding the orc with his lance. "We're going back to Gladius and if you try to run I will be forced to end your life."
MitzaVolchenko 05-25-06, 06:49 AM	"Me knows whose you is. Mes comes to gives gift to yous...good gift. Mes give gift, yous lets mes go..." the whining tone of the orc's poorly pronounced common grates on Solan's nerves, but something in the tone makes Solan think the orc may actually have soemthing important.
Iced 05-25-06, 10:30 PM	Solan halts and glares down at the raider. His eyes glitter with a bluish sheen for a moment as he activates his paladin ability to detect evil.
MitzaVolchenko 05-26-06, 04:55 AM	He is evil, no two ways about it. He is also probably lying about the gift part of it, but he probably does ahve something you want. "Yous wants yous must promise lets mes goes else yous never gets whats yous wants. Mes knows yous wants. Yeps you does!" the conviction in its voice and the hate and greed in its desperate eyes are rather moving in a repulsive sort of way.
Iced 05-26-06, 10:43 AM	"I have no time to bargain with you criminal, I refuse to be beguiled by the foul promises of a murderer. You will be taken to Gladius and it is there that you will ocnfess your sins." Solan prods the orc with the tip of his lance and gets him scurrying back in the right direction.
