BGI: New Party
Note: I found this post lying in my drafts from last summer and am publishing it now because it amused me.
In accordance with my solemn duty to take all new people with me this player through (except Imoen cause I’m a pansy) I have asked Khalid, Jaheira, and Xan to leave. Okay, I’ve never traveled with Xan before but he’s taken. It’s complicated. In order to not die I have taken of Kagain, Branwen, and Ajantis. They are all certainly... Interesting.
Kagain
Kagain is actually my favorite. Both functional and tolerable; he hits things with an axe, doesn’t talk much, but when he does he complains. Perfect. He thinks elves are wimpy resulting in his funniest line and a hatred of forests. He’s evil but lawful so that’s fine. He follows orders and doesn’t die often. Compared to me he is a kitten but compared to me everyone is a kitten.
Branwen
Branwen at first appears to be a kick ass cleric who loves fighting and wishes to serve you as her code of honor dictates. She is true neutral so probably won’t cause too much trouble. Then you get to know her and you realize that Branwen is fricken nuts. She loves the sight of blood, scalping her victims, I mean her foes, and won’t stop frickin killing people even when they pose no threat to the party. People who have surrendered ect. Useful, powerful, disobedient, dispassionate, murderous. These are the words that best describe Branwen.
Ajantis
What can be said about Ajantis? Dies a lot probably. Doesn’t know which end of a sword to hold or how specializations work definitely. Hates forests for no rational reason. Thinks poaching is worse than murder. Stands by and watches murder take place. Helps murder take place. Says nothing. Tells no one. Likes Helm, a lot, but probably would have done better working for good old dad or maybe Bane. Claims to be a Paladin.
