Getash Herrinbrow is born

For many months now, I have been part of a D&D campaign group. I have to admit, this is the first time I have played D&D for real (as opposed to just having some creating campaigns that no one would ever play through).

So, we are playing 3.5 edition (if anyone cares), and our setting is the traditional D&D campaign (dragons, magic, etc).

We started our campaign out at 5th level, so I set myself to the task of making my first D&D character ever (for real, you know?). I decided upon a Rogue. I realize now after playing that I really like characters with extremely well developed backgrounds, as it helps to provide motivations for the characters actions.

Upon further discussion with a close friend who had more experience with running a D&D session than I, and after he heard many of my ideas for my character, he suggested that I play a Rogue/Noble. In this way, my charater would not only be a Rogue character, but would have the knowledge and the skills of a Noble.

I chose the name Getash Brehorrin as my characters actual name, and his adventuring name would be Getash Herrinbrow. I do have the full back story that I wrote for this character, and I will post it at a later time. My friend was not fond of the name Getash, but the character actually melded quite well with the party. My adventuring group included: a nymph druid , a pixie barbarian, an orc monk, and Getash, a human rogue/noble.

Getash is dressed thusly: he wears very fine silk and clothing. His biggest tell his a blue overcoat with tails that he wears commonly (Looks kinda pirate-like in design). He wear white silk leggings and brown boots. His hair is brown, and his eyes are brown as well.

I have to admit our first session was certainly interesting. We were set to the task of stopping a pack of Wargs from terrorizing a town. I also discovered that my group (whom the other three characters were an acting troupe) enjoyed...folly? Shall we say. They put on a stage performance and gained money, as well as ambushed and stole from a drunken man -- I do profess to taking part in this as well.

Getash, being the former/current noble that he was, went off to purchase a hand mirror, as he had left his at home when he started traveling. He is vain, I do admit, as his personality is very similar to mine (I do NOT look into mirrors to check my appearance all the time!)

On our adventure, we ran into a family living in a wooded house, and we were attacked by wolves. I was able to use my rapier (citing my noble background), I successfully missed my first attacker while trying to defend the druid, and she was knocked down unconscious (go me). We were able to revive her and we did wi the battle.

We headed off to a cave where many of these Worgs were, and we found the leaders as well as the "prince" of the region? (I'm not actually sure what he was, now that I think about it).

Now, I have to explain this. He was totallyl telling us lies, and Getash knew this. I was gonna be all bad ass (I have a great intimidate stat) and put a sword that Getash had been given (+1) to the guy's throat, and make him talk. But do you know what happened? Our pixie used his flaming sword and critted the guy -- killing him. Argh.

We did revive him, and I got my moment, but...I wish he hadn't been so hasty (he ruined my moment!). We did learn that he was responsible for the havoc with the Wargs, and we went to stop them and succeeded.

So, that is the tale of my firs adventure with Getash. I hope you all await the next tale!
