for Evan's campaign this semester! We've only played one session so far, but I love Evan's DMing and it's a super fun group. I flipped through the 5e manual and decided to build a Tiefling paladin, which seems like a complete oxymoron but isn't really because as a paladin you can totally take an oath of vengeance instead of pledging yourself to a deity or an ideal. Rockin. So here's Shalai, thief, hermit, paladin.
As a youth he was in a thieving crew with a few close friends and his younger brother. The crew was caught stealing cargo from one of the ships of a very wealthy and powerful merchant, who had the rest of the crew killed before Shalai's eyes before sending him into exile. As her guards threw him out of the city, he spat an oath of vengeance at her. The next thirty years were spent training in the mountains alone, beating up trees and angsting as one does. Then the Terraclysm ripped the continent in half and he looked out of his cave one morning at a sheer cliff dropping straight down to an ocean that hadn't been there the day before. That decided it for him - it was time to go back to the port city of his birth, find the merchant, and kill her. At the start of our campaign, he's been hiding in the city for several months, doing reconnaisance, sheltering one of the other party members who's being pursued by mysterious shadow creatures. By the end of that first session, Shalai had his hiding place compromised by the rest of the (young and stupid) party, jumped headlong through an interdimensional portal, demanded information from an ancient and powerful being, confronted the literal lion-monster the merchant turned out to be, fought a chain demon shackled to the long-dead corpse of his younger brother, beheaded that corpse, and held it in his arms as it crumbled to dust. Y'know, the standard first session of a campaign type things.
So that's Shalai. Stay tuned for more of his adventures.
Also me and Matt played Undertale and I have Feelings about it.
