 Name: Darcy Landown Stat: +1 Attack Talent: Hand-to-Hand 1 Proficiency: Climbing Equipment: Iron Dirk, Wooden Slat Shield, Leather Chestpiece, Linen Bandages, Initiate's Sigil (Niahain) "I didn't come out here for you to lose your bottle after the first swing, get up!" Darcy Landown spent the entirety of his youth scrapping and fighting to get on by in the dingy back alleys of a city he had long since forgotten the name of until he was picked up by an underground fight ring, and it took a little longer to punch his way out of that mess before he finally found religion and became a changed man. Being however that the religion he found was the religion of the violent war god Niahain, all that really did was newly instill with him a determination to not just fight because he wants to, but to fight to 'Reach Heaven Through Violence' by turning his own body into the ultimate weapon to do so. Darcy had his fill of the mediocre street toughs in his tiny pond and set out into the wider world towards Barrican, with the purpose of hardening his fists against the creatures out in the great beyond instead.

Darcy Landown - Barrican Boroughs Ah the memories, he ran a few messages for the thieves guild back in his 'childhood' when he was this kid's age. It paid like poo poo and he got a thick ear for it for the times where the recipient didn't like the message they got but, figures that the moment he set foot in the city the shadowy cabal of Vice worshippers would have clocked him seemingly on sight somehow. And probably would know better than to tell this scrawny rat anything of value so no point trying to put the squeeze on him. "'Ere sprog, should have opened up with that it would have saved us both a bit of bother." >D: Flip him a coin and send him on his way. Darcy flipped the coin into his hands, it wasn't like he was planning on spending it on much while he was here to get started with, "Here's a tip for your trouble, I didn't see you, you didn't see me, now bugger off." --- With that out of the way, he got to work. At least the work of finding work, that was work in and of itself. Punching rats would probably be a good warmup, but he imagined that might be quite popular with other new party members as easy work that would fill up quickly, so pass on that one. Clearing out the cisterns, that was of mild interest right up until he read the words 'Barrican Guard'. Hard pass on that one, he doesn't owe the watch a drat thing. Trapping rats for the Arena now there was something that he had considered. The Barrican Arena was quite famous even over his end, reading the yellow broadsheets for the fight results and famous gladiators had been one of the few things he used to do as a kid that wasn't illegal and/or dangerous, and would probably be a bit more on the up and up than the seedy fight rings he frequented back home. But he imagined his not killing of the Vermink wouldn't score him points with Niahain. And so that left grave robbery for the mysterious 'Flint Street' folk and, well, what's a few more blasphemies on top of the one he was already committing from what he was carrying in his sack ay? >Darcy signs up for '[Treasure hunting in the Yltrian Barrows]' TheNabster fucked around with this message at 23:58 on Feb 18, 2023 |

 Gravedust posted:I have my own crew to do the looting, just need a little steel along to make it safe while they work. Darcy who had been nodding along at this point, raised a finger at this line. "'Scuse me for asking ma'am, what exactly are we bringing steel to defend your blokes from, other 'barrow explorers'? I ain't exactly got much know-all of the region hereabouts to know what to expect."

Darcy Landown Treasure Hunting Sighting up at the statue that Loarn pointed out, Darcy meandered over to it and tested a few handholds before putting a firm grip on one he liked the feel of. "Aight, gimme just one second I'll be up and at this, hyup!" Back in his bad old days before he found 'his way' Darcy used to do a lot of clambering and climbing up walls, rooftops and fences for a variety of reasons. Sometimes for fun, sometimes to evade trouble, do that enough times without slipping on loose roof tile and cracking your head open on the cobblestones and you tend to get good at it. This crumbling old bit of stonework was an easy enough jaunt up to the top of to check what goodies it had. Move: Move to the statue with the mystery item Order: Attempting to climb up and grab the item with my Climbing 1. 1d10+1 = 7 Success!

Darcy Landown Treasure Hunting "'Ere! Startin' the party without me? Alright let's got to stomping out the pests." Nudging past the other two delvers at the entrance of the barrow with a 'Scuse me' on the way, Darcy ran up to the bug that had been stuck by Bobby's arrow and gave it a good solid kick, splattering it up against the wall of the barrow. "Blergh! Stinks like a midden ridden latrine." Move: Move 1S, 1W, 1S, 1E, 3S, 1E Order: Putting a boot into the damaged Woodeater Grub. 1d10o10+1 = 8

Darcy Landown Treasure Hunting "Cover what?" Darcy shouted over the din, until the bomb blew up sending bits of dirt and bug all over the place. "Pffpt, some of that got in my mouth, alright cleaning up!" Darcy picked one of the two bugs menacing him that looked the most damage, raised a foot overhead and stomped it down. But the dust from the blast had obscured his vision a little so he ended up only partially stomping it instead. Order: Stomping the damaged Grub 1S 1d10o10 = 2

While he was all well and good fighting the good fight he was starting to bleed his own blood a little too much for his liking. "Stab man gimme some cover in a second, I need a moment to breathe stomping these things out." Kicking one off of him that had latched on to his leg, Darcy took the moment to duck behind Bobby-Jack, reaching for some bandages in his pack.

'Yeah I know bossman, it ain't been my best work so far but that changes soon as I got these wraps on' Action: Full Turn Rest with 1x Linen Bandage, healing 12 HP (2 from VIT 1 + 10 Linen Bandage)

"Aight, tag in!"

"I heard a yelp; anything I should know about?" "Yeah there's some kinda fethin' giant spider in this part of this crypt, I punched it one and it scuttled off deeper thataway." Darcy grumbled, gesturing to the eastern crypt and adjusting his hand bandages to cover the fresh lacerations on his arm. "So I'd recommend you stay right there for the moment and I'll go fish the bugger out. Stab man can you keep a crossbow on that bottom entrance there? I'll go through the top." Heading back through the door, Darcy took a deep breath and dashed through the open door into eastern crypt arms raised in pre-emptive defence. >Action: Quick Recovery (+2 HP) >Move: 3E, 2N, 1E >Level Up!< +1 VIT +1 Climbing +1 Hand-to-Hand Rank

Darcy Landown Treasure Hunting Darcy paused, and lowered his arms when scything forelegs didn't strike out at him the moment he burst into the room. But there wasn't much other space a giant spider could hide, and he would have seen them leave through the other entrance So Darcy ran around the corner and swung a hard leg at whatever looked alive and moving first. >Move: 3E, 2S >Action: Punch the nearest enemy in range.

Darcy Landown Treasure Hunting Darcy wished the assembled party a good evening, then hefted the coin purse in his hands and contemplated his first job well done with minimal scratches and no real loss of life. Back in his bad old days this would be the part where he hits the local tavern and buys stuff off of their top shelf, or heads to the local the dice hall to start gambling the night away for the thrill of it, or if he made some *real* money found nice slice of someone in one of the local pillow halls for a 'bed warmer'. Those things though, they didn't quite have the zing they used to have after his religious epiphany, now they were like ashes in his mouth. He knew what he really should be doing, is funding his next foray out into the wilds with better equipment. The sigil of Niahain pulsed dimly in his bag, there was always more blood to be shed, more bones to break, the Spider had been an interesting challenge but the grubs were just, grubs, and the enchanted armour... Well he was sure he could have battered it with enough time, but time in the midst of that poison gas trap was the one thing they didn't have. It wasn't enough, not yet, not to the level where the folks that gave him the mysterious message would be satisfied. "I ain't reaching heaven quite yet." He headed to the Barrican Armoury to make some purchases, and then back to the Boroughs to prepare. >Purchase and equip a Steel Buckler with Bladecatcher for $55 from the Barrican Armoury ($40 for the buckler, $15 for the enhancement) >Purchase 2 lots of Dried Meat for $4 from The Boroughs, and stash/get rid of the the Wooden Slat Shield >Remaining cash, $10 TheNabster fucked around with this message at 10:52 on Aug 5, 2023 |

Darcy Landown Barrican Arena - High Seats Darcy was here for the show, he'd been waiting years to see the Barrican Arena for himself he got himself some seats, he got himself some peanuts, and he got himself a guidebook so he could watch the folks fight, and the the difference between the 'veterans' and the newer fighters was noticeable in how well they could 'sell', he couldn't help but feel like some of the newer ones were, phoning it in a little on the playacting, apart from the one that seemed to bottle it half way into the first fight. "The Bullman in the Glasses though, Korrigath." Darcy murmured to himself. "Anyone who can throw hands like that is a keeper, but I bet I could teach him a thing or two, his stance is a little sloppy." Absentmindedly he looked to his side and saw, Emelle and Mirielle Meary hanging out in the high seats too. "'Ere!" He called over, gesturing with the peanuts in his hands. "Didn't expect to see you two again so soon, hows things going on your end?"

Darcy smiled, he never knew what his own folks were to tell the truth, once upon a time he thought that maybe he was a secret king and he'd get to inherit his birth right and be whisked away from poverty on a grand string of adventure. Things didn't turn out that way though, but seeing mother and daughter who were happy to be in each other's company was something he liked to see when he saw it, he'd seen enough broken homes and orphans for a lifetime. The Hellion though, there was a dangerous gleam in Darcy's eyes as he watched it manhandle the two knights arranged against it before they used the 'solcrystal', it was the look of someone sizing up how he'd do in a fight against one. "That Hellion thing, is that kind of what they are all like at a sorta base level, or was that one just a particularly mean bugger they brought in so they could show off to the crowd?" "I could also use some more good honest work to cut my teeth on if you know about any work coming up." Darcy decided not to put verbal quote marks around the 'honest' part since they were in public.
