FEAT: WAR CASTER
You have practised casting spells in the midst of combat, learning techniques that grant you the following benefits:
- You have advantage on Constitution saving throws that you make to maintain your concentration on a spell when you take damage.
- You can perform the somatic components of spells even when you have weapons or a shield in one or both hands.
- When a hostile creature's movement provokes an opportunity attack from you, you can use your reaction to cast a spell at the creature, rather than making an opportunity attack. The spell must have a casting time of 1 action and must target only that creature.

Master Elmmet, as he is known around the village, is a pillar of the community. A tiny community, but a solid pillar nonetheless. One of the larger farmer of barley in the aptly-named small community of Brewersbridge, it is rare that Elmmet strays far from home, yet it is the celebration of the old monarch that brings him hence - it wouldn't do for not one man of Brewersbridge to pay their respects. He has come with a load of barleywine and other produce to a larger market and then spend some time at the oncoming festivities. At home he leaves a wife and young daughter, as well as a couple of younger farmhands. In theory, his farmstead is in good hands still...

Always one with a wise quip, Elmmet stands by the principle of treating others as you yourself would like to be treated. He likes to take a neutral role in a debate or argument between friends, attempting to find the merit in both sides as a means of brokering an agreement or compromise if one can be found. He finds more worth in the deeds of his hand then the spoken word though, preferring action over thought. Elmmet is fond of his wife and young daughter, born just five years ago this autumn - he hopes to be back in time to celebrate the birthday at home.

He's not always quite so level-headed as he'd like to be, though; he can be a bit of a grumpy drunk, and is quite stubborn and stuck in his ways. Slow to adapt also means that he can be slow to trust a new face as well, but also quite loyal to those who he calls friends.

Elmmet will use a dark green to speak with.

Heide Coppergear is a Clockwork Soul Sorcerer. She'll use Orange, I suppose.

A quick statblock I may use to keep track of changes to her condition:

Everyone’s here. Good.

Reminder that the IC thread is up, link in the first post.

How close is it to the promised festivities?

Narrativie drama makes me vaguely assume that they were due to start today, or last night, but assuming makes an ass out of... yada yada etc.

EDIT: Also if anyone would have been hanging out in the common room with a glass of ale, or whiskey or whatever, there's no reason you wouldn't have seen Elmmet there drinking and being social. Presumably there's lots of interesting folks from different parts of the kingdom coming into town.

They are ongoing, started two days ago, and are planned to go on for a couple more days.

Right now, I just want to make sure everyone gets going and introduced into the game. And go from there.

So I don’t need anything major from you right now. If you want to name a couple of NPCs you may have met over the course of the last couple days, go ahead.

[Shiro_Nogard]

Decided to roll play my steel defender from day one. Till Jack gets to 3rd level all its going to do is show up from time to time.

[Lentrax]

Everyone may make an Arcana check to see if they can think of anything that might explain what has happened.

[Archemist]

woohoo, arcana: (1d20+3)[12]

Seems like I know... (edited to add) well, a normal amount.

Untrained Arcana check (1d20)[1]

Edit: That fits what I thought my character would know about arcane magic rather well.

[Shiro_Nogard]

Arcana check
(1d20+6)[10]

Edit:
Seriously?

It's all good, get your low rolls out of the way early on.

[Shiro_Nogard]

Oohhhh! You are right!!!

[Jötunn]

I mean, I guess I'll try.

Untrained Arcana: (1d20-1)[17]

Edit: I guess -1 modifier Elmmet is clearly the brains of the group.

[Shiro_Nogard]

Teen Einstein.

[Jötunn]

Teen Einstein.

Oh, Elmmet is very much not a teen, he's in his late 30s or something. I can't remember what I wrote on the sheet.

You've never heard of magic that lets people send material to other people, but it is magic after all.

Untrained Arcana check [roll0]

That maid theory sounds pretty good right now...

Arcana check
[roll0]

Edit:
Seriously?

Yeah. That magic... it could probably do something like this?

I mean, I guess I'll try.

There was a story about the kingdom choosing protectors for a dire emergency before. And while you don't have any idea how it could work, but there is a wizard at the castle...

[Shiro_Nogard]

Your avatar looks like a teen Ruby wizard. Don't mind the details. Also, Teen Einstein was a farmer.

[Shiro_Nogard]

Dropping real fast to report. Work have been a drag. Will get back to posting tomorrow.

[Jötunn]

Yeah sorry been a bit distracted as well.

Shiro, how seriously are we supposed to take this maid thing, I feel like either I missed a joke somewhere or you got classified info from the DM that everybody else is inexplicably not engaging with.

[Lentrax]

I don't know where it came from either, but I am certainly willing to use it...

Well, It was part of my original idea. Just decided to play it for LOLs.

Ohh, dont mind me. Feel free to use it.

Makes me feel like a skirt chaser, thought.

Azzalix believes that it is what happened.

[Shiro_Nogard]

Give a few hints and the mind goes BOOM!! As far as anyone know, THAT is what happened.

[Izzarra]

Is everyone ready to go to the castle?

[Lentrax]

That's all I am waiting on. Just need to know where you all are going.

[Archemist]

I'm enjoying playing the direct character for once with all her self-importance and grumpiness, but do let me know if I should tone it down or if you guys want to try a different tactic.

Right now she's kinda half "Grumpy" from Snow White and half Monica from Friends, at least that's what I'm going for.
