whay should i say then? should i stick to the two skills, or do the skill and the tool and just state it? I thought i did state it... guess I'll edit
 
I don't mind what you pick, I'd just like the selection marked on the sheet. It could be as simple as Expertise: Double Proficiency for Stealth and Thieves' Tools, assuming that's what you're choosing. Or just putting a little * beside your Expertises. Stealth *: +8.
 
That works, thank you. She is a half-elf, right?
 
Groovy. I'll go ahead and open a thread a bit later today and we'll get rolling with the folks we have. Others can join in if they like.
 
You should have all been tagged. I'll post a link.

When you need to, you can secure free passage on a sailing ship for yourself and your adventuring companions.

Because you're calling in a favor, you can't be certain of a schedule or route that will meet your every need. Your Dungeon Master will determine how long it takes to get where you need to go. In return for your free passage, you and your companions are expected to assist the crew during the voyage.

Backstory:
Garth lived with his family in a coastal village for most of his childhood with his family and extended family, as halfings tend to do. One Autumn day he the village was attacked by pirates seeking slaves and provisions from the defenseless town. The pirates noticed his quick wits and nimble fingers, and rather than sell him off with the other captives they kept him on to run the rigging. He spent four years under that flag before the ship was sunk by a naval frigate. Garth's small size helped him avoid notice and he escaped on a floating piece of debris. When he finally mad it to land he was lost and confused. Knowing nothing else he returned to the life of a pirate, where he's been on and off countless ships.
Now you would think a pirate would be enough to for execution, but that wasn't what finally stuck. One evening at some tavern in some port city (they all blend together eventually), he overheard a voice he recognized. The man who had bought the slaves from his original captors. In a fit of rage and vengeance he bashed the mans skull to a bloody pulp with his bare hands. Turns out, murdering a nobleman in front of countless witnesses is a good way to get you arrested.

Backstory: Vadrik was born to a small tribe of Goliath that still worshipped gods that had been labelled as illegal in Talingarde. He was raised normally, only occasionally did any inner cruelty shine through. His tribe raised him to be a priest of Asmodeus, as their current one was getting close to the end of his natural life. He spent several years being trained away from the other members of his tribe, learning about various rituals and rites necessary to venerate Asmodeus. The time Vadrik spent learning only enhanced the brief flashes of cruelty that had shown up throughout his childhood. When participating in sacrificial rites, he would deliberately cause the sacrifices unnecessary pain, drawing out the death of a number of creatures before it was noticed by the head priest.

The head priest didn't chastise Vadrik for his cruelty, he even encouraged it. He went so far as to explain and show the different methods of torturing the sacrifices he had picked up over many years, both physical and mental. By the end of his apprenticeship, Vadrik was a well groomed sadist with intimate knowledge of how to cause pain. It was only when he turned 24 did his luck turn as his tribe was discovered by Talingarde. For several months, there was only simmering hostility until the chieftain of the tribe attacked a passing patrol when they discovered the temple of Asmodeus. Naturally, this resulted in swift punishment. Upon orders from the head priest, and after seeing his tribe ripped to pieces, Vadrik fled, images of his fallen tribemates burned into his memory.

After swearing to gain vengeance, he wandered throughout Talingarde for a year and a half, hunting for his food, and stealing when he couldn't. During his travels, he began to practice his torture on humans, dragging one off when they were alone, or finding a home in the wilderness and breaking in. After a while, Vadrik grew confident in his knowledge of the human body and its limits, and decided it was time to strike at the country that banned the worship of his god. For half a year, he searched for an appropriate church of Mitra, not too big, not too small. In the dead of night, he bound and incapacitated the sleeping priests, dragging them to the altar in the main hall. One by one, he tortured them, granting them as much pain as he could before their inevitable demise. When one would pass, he would string up their corpse in a mocking fashion, displaying their entrails and wounds in a mockery of a congregation. By the time morning came, the main hall was covered in blood and gore, corpses gutted and propped up in a gruesome display, Asmodeus' symbol painted in blood all around the room. Symbols and icons of Mitra were shattered or smeared with various bodily fluids and thrown in a pile of refuse in the main aisle.

It was in the midst of this madness that Vadrik was found by the town guard, coated in gore, religious iconography painted on himself. It was only through the sheer charisma of the guard captain that the guards didn't murder him on the spot, instead arresting him and transporting him to Branderscar Prison to await sentencing for his many crimes.

Sparrowhawk, did you apply the racial modifiers for being a Goliath? By my math, I don't think so. Beyond that, he looks appropriately wicked. You can post for him in the IC thread.
 
I put them to the side of the wicked array numbers, +2 to strength and +1 to constitution, right? I can just add them together if that makes things easier.
 
Yes please, just add them in. I missed that notation.
