The Characters:

Johfra

Johfra is a Paladin Dragonborn and is currently at 11th level.  Unfortunately, during his quests with a different group of adventures, he fell and was killed, then raised up- all under the most unusual of circumstances.  Now afflicted with the death curse, Johfra has frantically spent his fortune and tapped into all of his resources to "cure" himself as he slowly gets weaker and weaker each day.  His proud scales are now flaking off and the fatigue is chronic.  A sad situation for a powerful and proud follower of Bahamut.  In his haste he has received counsel from the Storm Giant King Hekaton whom has advised him to seek out the ring of winter held by Artis Cimber someplace in Chult to help slow down his affliction.  A wizard friend Cole has referred him to a Syndra Silvane in Buldersgate for more information.

Arlen Dawnchaser

 Moon Elf Rogue Entertainer

Arlen grew up in a small moon elf camp outside of a wood elf camp.  He began performing as an actor and acrobat at a young age.  Trouble started when his cocky attitude landed him trouble with the wrong people.  Arlen now moves from
city to city and performs, but he has also adopted his theatrical fighting skills in order to protect himself offstage.

Peter Edmundson

Peter lived with his family in a small town working at his fathers music store. He is adventurous and doesn’t want to live his life in this small town working at his fathers shop. His father does not approve of this and thinks he will not succeed. So now he sets off to prove to his father what he can make of himself.

Karn Earthshatter
 

In the far mountains, resides a monastery of monks devoted to bringing balance back to the realm. And then...there is Karn. Karn Earthbreaker comes from a family whom rejected the tribe lifestyle. As a result of their solitude, the family was cursed, bearing the mark of surrender. A bright white hair forever marking and shaming the bloodline. Karn grew up as a result in a very different lifestyle than normal goliaths, and eventually it was not enough. He would seek his own adventure, trying to find his place in tribes despite his mark. All rejected the goliath who they viewed as soft and an outsider bearing the mark of his family’s curse. Eventually, after a day of heavily drinking, Karn stumbled and found himself at the monastery that would change his life. There he eventually became a student, focused on mastering his ki and the respect of nature. He studied the plant life of the local area and beyond and the balance of good and evil in not only man but the world as well. Karn showed great promise in spirit, but always lacked the discipline due to his goliath origins. Due to an incident he rarely discusses, he found himself excommunicated once again, another family that has rejected him. Karn once again found himself abandoned, and his disdain for others slowly grew. Despite no longer being recognized by his monastery, he continued to train. In addition to his fighting skills he recieved, Karn continuously found solace in alcohol. Along his belt are various flasks, many of which contain his favorite drinks from his travels. Along with his trusty collection of alcohol, he carries a tri-fold staff that allows easy concealment, inscribed with markings of the monastery. Work is easy to come by as a near 8 foot 350 pound goliath, protection jobs are easy to come by. Now a new job has opened that is sure to test his resolve.

Cogar

“The Half-Orc Cogar is from the small town of Karse, where in his time, he grew up under the care of his grandfather in the church of Lathander, where he learned the ways of light and renewal.  During his upbringing, giants attacked his town Yartar, killing his father, his only parent/guardian, as he tried to defend the city in the name of his god, Tyr, and giving him the time to retreat.”  Yes, Yartar, that is what I said the first time.  “So, after losing all of his friends and family, he went along his way to Neverwinter making trade with travelers, spreading the teachings of Waukeen along the way.”  I never said Lathander.  “While in Waterdeep, Cogar healed many people in need, as taught to him during his time in the church of Eldath, who all kindly gave him donations to the church, and some extra money so that he can help buy medicine for his sick mother.”  My mother can’t be alive?  If you’re not going to pay attention, then I’m not going to tell you my story.  “Now, heard that there is a need for him, to help restore the magic of resurrection for the people, and financially strengthen the church of Ilmater.”

At the very least, you know Cogar is a Half-Orc cleric dedicated to his deity, right?
