The Malcore Reed Story!!

The Reed family lived on their farm a few miles out side of Winter Haven. They were a poor family just barely making a living with their farm. The children worked hard to help the family make it through the tough seasons. They spent a lot of the days working in the fields. Fighting off birds by throwing rocks at them, chasing vermin out of the fields, not to mention planting and harvesting. It was hard but fulfilling life for the family.

The youngest son, named Malcore, was the bright spot in their other wise dull life. He would spend hours playing pranks on everyone. Most thought he was just a quiet kid, but he was always plotting. Quietly listening and observing what everyone was planning and doing while he worked out his plans for mischief. Most of his pranks were harmless, others not so. When his big brother got him mad, he would pay him back. He would sneak into his parent’s room and borrow his dad’s copy of Play Halfling and would hide it in his brother’s things and then tell on him. Some times he would make elaborate traps for his unsuspecting family members to set off. Like his famous outhouse trap, when you sit to do your business you trigger the trap to break a bottle of alchemist fire in the bottom and torch your behind. That one did back fire a bit on him once. On time it was his mom who sat on it and not his brother, Dad seemed happy later for some reason, it had something about smooth and clean down there. Mom on the other hand was not so amused.

One day, when he was twelve, he got to go to town with dad for the first time for some supplies. His father gave him a couple of copper to buy some candy. While choosing his treats he met a little beggar child. Well met is a nice word, caught him trying to pick his pocket is more accurate. At first Malcore almost hit him, but instead took pity on the poor sap. He befriended the little bugger and gave him some of his candy instead. He told him where they lived and if he came out when he needed some food, he would make sure he got enough for a favor.

Granted this worked out well for Malcore, his little friend, Mick, came out and he would feed him. Then Mick would help him do his chores. This freed up more time for playing pranks on his family and visitors. The two of them became fast friends and talked a lot about the world. Malcore was surprised to find out just how much his new friend had traveled. He would sit for hours just listening to all his amazing stories.

This went on for about eight years, and Mick pretty much became part of the family. Then Malcore decided to go out and find adventure of his own. Before leaving he did on last favor for Mick. He talked his father into taking his friend on as a hired hand, and giving him his old room. Well Mick was so thankful that he gave him his thieves’ tools before he left and all the advice he had about living on the streets. The tools were better then the home made ones he had for getting into things he wasn’t supposed to. With all his goodbye’s said Malcore set out to find his place in the world.

So Malcore went to Winter Haven to find a caravan and set out to see the world. While looking for a caravan to join he found something else, trouble. Just his luck he was walking down an alley on his way to the local inn when he felt a burning pain on the back of his head, then everything went dark.

Hey it's about time you posted something like this! Malcore receives 350xp for the back story.

And by the way, as expected we should be playing the H1 module this weekend.

Last we left off, the party had explored 'the first level' of the Keep on the Shadowfell. This involved raiding a goblin hideout and exploring some natural caves. Remember you found a sinister note from Chief Krand of the Bloodreavers offering to buy humanoiids from Kalarel. Confident that you've done enough work here . . . well, you decide.

Shivan believes that besides being the best damn warlord around, we needa find someone who can speak some goblin talk...and yes shivan speaks in the third person


lol

im wondering if i should throw in a dual personality role-playing aspect to him....thatd be cool

[agroson1]

Nice work on the Malcore background. Didn't know ya had it in ya...but then, I'm not the one who put it there, so it's not my business. Kinda gross now that I think about it.

Sunday...I had planned to show up for a short time before my Church anniversary, but I may have to actually work that day. Should that prove to be the case, Joseph will be handed over Al Dunn for the whole day, rather than part. The party will need his bow, and I trust Joseph to handle Al as I would....meaning not in a gay way. Phil.

Speaking of gay, I have to check my schedule at work, meaning that I might be closing again this week...leading us to having a late start for Thursday. Regardless, I hope to play...especially since I can't on Sunday. I'll post my availability tomorrow.

And while I'd love to say that Phil is gay, there's a few things that prohibit that...first, it would be wrong to burn a friend like that on, or around, his birthday...especially on a public forum. I know I wouldn't care for it. ; and two, since we've never seen him with a man OR woman it's best not to jump to conclusions. Besides, does boning a TS in DnD make you gay? Let's discuss.....might need a new page though, I'm sure Kyle wouldn't appreciate us doing it here on his forum.

Still...Thursday.....

Max says "I speak goblin. Fluently. Its a language that's mostly spoken through sign such as my boot in one's neck. That gets across the only message you need a goblin to understand"

And as fer thursday, come at normal time. Gary can come late and we can do something DnD then. In the meantime Phil and I can do some heroclix while we wait. And I'll drink from my mug. I bought a large glass mug. Takes two beers to almost fill it. Its pretty cool.

I get around to posting when I can. I wrote it in word during work when I had some free time. Which was the last couple of days. I always like the farmer turned hero plot line. Not many people use that these days. Oh well I look forward to see you all, but Gary who has to work, on Sunday.

I find a dagger in the back is much better way to speak to a goblin
