Around the Campfire: In-Character RP

I'm going to leave this thread open for you to do any in-character RP that you want to do within the group, that doesn't have to be tied to the current scene. It will exist outside of the current storyline, so you can post it any whenever you want to, regardless of where the current story thread is. This should make things, like getting to know the new members of the party, a lot easier and less awkward, and also allow us to keep the game thread moving steady.

You could also use it for sharing information that your character would have shared, but you as the player either forgot or didn't have time/opportunity to share. Anything that you could have shared in the past, when the group was together, can be posted here.


Last night, as you sat around the fire, you finally had a moment to just sit and talk.

Around the Campfire: In-Character RP

Ariadne was fairly good at "campfire small talk", having done it, pretty much, professionally for years.  She would talk about how she had been a professional forest guide for hunters and had led foraging excursions and search parties in the past.  If pressed, she would talk about how her father and grandfather had taught her the basics of everything she knew, and that after her grandfather had passed, she and her father had started their guiding business for local merchants and wealthy landowners who liked to play at being as Adventurer.  However, in a tragic turn, her father had been caught under a falling tree, and been crippled.  Even after scraping up money for a magical cure with local druids, her father's spirit was never the same, and he seemed to still act as though crippled, becoming more and more of a burden on the rest of the family, which consisted of Ariadne and her younger brother Garic.   This was where Ariadne got a bit melancholy, and talked about how, after a windfall gift from a grateful baron after saving him from an angry bear, Ariadne invested in a permanent caretaker for her father, and left to join the druidic order.  She spoke of needing to live her own life, but it was clear that she was tired of being her father's caretaker and wanted her freedom.
She sometimes felt guilty about essentially abandoning her family, but she had decided that staying and becoming more and more resentful towards them was the worse choice.
Her time with the Druids, which was more of a monastery order of nature monks dedicated to "The Natural Order" was fruitful for her, and she emerged with renewed purpose, set to see the world and live her life to the fullest.
