[Accueil][D&D 5e] English Campaign - A new beginning

The Guild of the Wondrous Peace Bringing Swashbucklers (often shortened in “the Peace Buckler Guild”, though Jori the barbarian raises from times to times that "swashbucklers" shoudn’t be shortened in "buckler" are these are different things ^^):
The main purpose of this guild of adventurers is to explore antic ruins and long forgotten places and bring artifacts, antiques and treasures from the past back from there. Their main client is a noble’s cabinet of curiosities, but what’s not of interest to him/her is sold elsewhere. One of the main unofficial purposes of the guild is to grow in fame as much as possible; all members of the guild, for various reasons, wants the guild’s fame and their own fame through the guild’s one.
But currently this isstill  a small, very recent guild, located in the Outer City.
It has been founded by Zgryble Boomastickr, a gnome engineer fond of magic and technological relics, and sir Mattiston Moontay a young and charismatic (and idle?) noble who calls Zgryble "uncle".
Zgryble is the real boss of the guild, running it, choosing the contracts, taking the decisions etc. Sir Mattiston is the "Public Relations", he knows higher people, he knows and to look and behave, he’s a good talk; he mostly meets the clients, deals with their problems, requests, advertise the guild to the higher citizens.
Jori is the first recruit of the guild, and serves well as the muscle and when needed keep hot heads… calm.
The others recruits are you guys! Why did you decide to enter this guild? What’s in there for you to want to build its fame? What can you bring to it? ^^

Jori, Human Barbarian level 2
Fluff
Jori the Berserker seeks worthy opponents to defeat and powerful weapons to defeat even stronger opponents. He went on adventure to find a legendary item lost in the bards tales the means to overcome the demons of his past.

Jori was doing the same dungeon as Zgryble and Mattiston, separately. As adventurers never go straight ahead, these two escaped a bunch of traps and killed few monsters on their way in. But Jori is not an adventurer so he went directly to the treasure room. They met next by the chest and had this "that's mine" - "no mine" dispute. He and Mattiston fought, and the gnome didn't help because he was restrained by spiders that sneaked in during the dispute. After dispatching them the "get us talking" part happened and they are buds now.
Besides the new forged friendship, Jori entered the guild as a way to grow in reputation, having a better chance to hear about/find the artifact he seeks, and as he likes boasting the guild gives him stories worth bragging about.

Crunch
Lots of HP and damage reducing capacities, and deals heavy damage. He can "tank" and take care of strong opponents.

Zgryble Finkle Nible "Zgryble Boomastickr of the Lokhar clan", Gnome Rogue level 2, Chaotic Good


Fluff
Zgryble is a former engineer who, one day, found myself more interested in discovering artifacts than building gears for rich people.
He arrived in Baldur's gate searching for adventures (and quite cut from his gnomish origins because he was too adventurous to their taste etc.). But the city's rough, the adventure's not as much to the program as he expected and he ended up selling his engineering's-talents to the merchants, as a member of the the Balduran's Honorable Company of Tinkers (tinkers, toolmakers, locksmiths, braziers, glassblowers, and smelters) who works on the outer city.
His dream is to finance an expedition in Lantan to "resurrect" his family, one of the bests engineering families in Lantan. At the time of the tsunamis, they were working on what they thought would be a key technology for bringing peace troughout gods, nations and all Faerûn. Zgryble was still very young at the time of the tsunamis.

Zgryble was a good friend of sir Ylind Moontay, the father of Mattiston.
He has known him since before Mattiston’s birth, because as Ylind’s school was growing fast in demand, he was looking for some some of automated " fencing bags"  (something like that, but automated), for having newest students practicing basic moves. So he went to the Tinker Guild and was directed towards Zgryble. He could feel the passion inYlind’s words, who knew nothing about tinkers but had lots of ideas that sparkled Zgryble’s creativity and made him wanting to work on. This grew into a deeper friendship and Mattiston saw the gnome quite regularly in the Moontay’s house, as he grew up.

Later on, recently, on a long drunken night, Zgryble and Mattiston came up  with the idea of creating their own guild, as it seemed to be the best way to help them both fulfilling their dreams. This led to the creation of the Guild of the Wondrous Peace Bringing Swashbucklers.

Crunch
As a Rogue, can sneak attack for massive damage. Good for traps detecting, locks picking, etc. High Intelligence, knowledge of technology.


•••••

Sir Mattiston Moontay, Human Fighter level 2, Neutral (or Loyal?) Good


Fluff
Mattiston’s father Ylind was one of the most respected sword master of the North. He got famous, taught to the best in high society, got to marry a young girl from a minor noble family in Baldur’s Gate and opened his own school of swordsmanship.
However, he was not used to politics and power games, and fell victim of the foul plot of some petty noblemen he probably offended somehow. He was accused and convicted of treason and executed.
His school, though not officially barred from activity bore his name and then fell in disgrace as well. With almost no student and almost no resource (by lack of students –and then money– due to the "bad reputation" attached to the name (and for the few who didn't care, the death of the main teacher and keeper of the knowledge was also a major downer)), the school had to close its doors.

Mattiston’s ambition is to prove the utmost superiority of his father’s style to the world (he’s convinced it is the best one ever), so that its reputation of unmatchable style spreads, the school reopens and daughter schools open throughout the country, and its name survives through History. (The style bearing his father’s name, indirectly it will restore his reputation as the greatest swordsman ever.)

He created the guild with his "uncle" Zgryble, cf. Zgryble’s fluff for details, so that his sword exploits become famous, and his style recognized as superior and spread again.

Crunch
As a fighter with Maneuvers (few now, more to come), can give Advantage to allies, give Disadvantage to enemies to "attract" their attacks on him (and protect allies), protect close allies, give back some HP to allies. Has high CHArisma and a social skill, and know some basic Medicine.
