Retiring Daine -> Alianne Crow I have read the Basic Rules/FAQ. I have read the New Player Checklist. I have downloaded the Portable Compendium or have access to the Online Compendium. Below is a link to my character sheet which I have made using the above resources. <a href="http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=911214" rel="nofollow">http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=911214</a> Backstory: (A longer backstory included in the sheet!) Present Day... The town overwhelmed her with it's size... and twice now she felt that people were following her but whenever she looked she saw no one... It was eerie how she could be in a town full of people and still feel completely alone. The street felt extremely quiet and her connection to nature felt warped somehow but Alianne assumed that could just be the weirdness of these things called "Towns". By the time her peception alerted her to their presence it was too late... Shambling figures, their bodies covered in grotesque tattoos and scars seemed to suddenly appear, as though time had been bent... She was surrounded on all sides by a group of cultists who seemed to be screaming something mostly unintelligible with a few words like Blood God mixed in... Her reaction speed surprised even her, as Alianne's bow was in her hand and firing before she even fully registered their pressence and Rowen had already smashed one into a wall like a ragdoll. Alianne fired as fast as she could but she could tell she wasn't going to be able to get them all! She could feel her heart pounding in her chest as the dread of knowing there is nothing she could do overwhelmed her... and then, as all seemed lost, daggers began to rain all around her, filleting the cultists like fish as they fell to the ground with their strings cut. A voice seemed to come from all around her, deep and masculine with a hint of a growl mixed in. "Yes Brothers, give ALL your blood to the blood god, you don't seem to need it." It took her a moment to notice her savior, and even now she had the feeling she only saw him because he let her... As a man with a book in one hand and a dagger in the other dropped nimbly off the roof. "So are you doing alright? I'm afraid you got caught up in our affairs, a bit unprofessional of us. Don't let these bloody gods, or bloody idiots bother you. Nice shooting though, I liked it." Alianne smile and her mind flooded with relief... "Yes, I'm fine... I was caught completely unawares and I'm used to dealing with my foes at a much longer distance." She commented with a glance at her bow as she slung it over her shoulder again. The man in front of her looked like he was ridiculously strong and she wondered if he could possibly be part of the group she was looking for? 'Well... he probably knows of them if nothing else.' "Could I inquire if you know of or are part of The Guild? I was looking for them and my sister mentioned that it was located in this town... I'm most unaccustomed to cities." "Well, I'd say you found us... I'm Kuro, a member of The Guild." He replied with a grin. "Although, at the moment, the town is in a bit of a bind or I'd be more formal about this but... How about we talk while we hunt?" Alianne grinned and scrambled nimbly onto a roof while Rowen ran ahead. "Shall we keep score?"
