Thread: [DnD 5e] Homebrew high fantasy fun in Etindra!

Who does? What race? Ack, we did have a cleric, and I just finsihed my druid Rini Hostler Age 16 Birthday 17th of Nightal Gender Female height 5'1 Weight 101lbs Measures Skin Fair with freckles. Hair Waist length ginger tresses. Eyes Brilliant green with emerald rims. Style A pine green dress wiht a square neckline, healed boots of dark leather and a slightly lighter brown leather boddice. The boddice is somewhat thick and fitted to her youtful figure, huging her cleavage. One only needs to be mildly observant to realize it's desinged to offer protection to her vulnerable belly. History Rini is the daughter of Linizi and Michael Hostler. Though the trade of Hostler traditionally refers to one who tends stables at an inn, Michael worked in the stables of one of the many country houses of Duke Randal Ervin--who has only visited three times in Rini's memory. Technically a maid who tended the house, Linzi was especially beloved for her violin playing, and she played for the Duke on all his visits. In the winter of Rini's seventh year, Linzi was taken from them by a fever. Three weeks later, Linzi's mother, Trini Willows, arrived with medicine. With her daughter already passed, Trini used these medicines--and Chaunteah's blessing--to save several other locals from the fever. Trini stayed for two years to help care for Rini, and frequenty would return for a season to teach the girl medicine, herb lore, feminine mysteries, and prayers to Chaunteah. Though Rini was an apt student, she spent most of her time with her father in the stables. Though she loved to play in the straw, Rini took the work seriously, caring very much for both the horses and the other creatures who resided in the area. When Rini was twelve, a new littler of kittens was born. The runt of the litter, a ginger tomcat, wasn't strong enough as a young kitten to get past his brother's and sisters to nurse. Rini took it upon herself to tend to the kitten, and in the span of a year and three months, he grew long and strong and proud. She named him Strut. That winter, a small army of orcs raided the town. Several families were hiding out in the barn when the orcs attacked. Three men fell trying to keep them out, including her father with a spear through the hip. Rini ran forwards to help drag her father back into the barn as the orcs laughed and taunted them, a spokesman calling out in broken common that he would spare them if they sent out seven virgins to entertain them. For a moment, Rini seriously considered offering herself to the orcs lusts to protect the children, but anger grew in her, and grew, and grew. She took a freshly cut broomstick and popped off the broom, then--holding it as she'd been instructed to wield a quarterstaff, she whispered prayers to Chaunteah to give her the strength to defend the children, and the old people, and her injured father, and the horses and the kittens. Something came out of her at the end of the prayer, words she didn't understand, or have any clue where they came from, but they heartened her, and the thirteen year old girl planted herself in the door of the barn, with her cat beside her, and yelled out to the seven orcs, I'm a virgin! Come and take me if you can. Two big orcs--laughing uproariously came to take her. She struck at the face of the first with the stick. It tried to block the tiny girl's blow with a casual backhand swipe of his ax... Which was knocked from his hand! Blood and teeth flew from the orc's lips as it staggered back with a broken jaw! While the monsters were still in shock, she leaped for the second one, breaking his knee, then bringing her staff down in it's head with power all out of proportion to her body! The remaining four orcs hooted angrily and organized to take her down. She managed to hold off two of the orcs for a few strokes. Strut leaped at the monster's face, and Rini struck him down! The remaining four knocked her staff away, and strut was hurled against the back wall. The redhead screamed and squirmed as the orcs ripped her blouse off, but before they could violate her a horn sounded and the Duke's cavalry and road wardens drove the orcs away. Rini and a few other stable-hands gathered strut and Rini's father, tying them to the saddle of a horse, and ventured into the woods to find Trini and her healing magic. After three days, Rini and the horse she lead became lost in an evening fog. They were separated from the others, her father unconscious. Rini came out in a beautiful grove of Oaks, where a pixie brought forth Trini and several younger acolytes. They healed Strut and Michael of both wounds and infection, then explained to Rini, You're one of us now. Only a druid can find this grove. Michael, still asleep atop the horse, was lead back to the others by an invisible pixie. Rini and Strut studied with the Druids 'til Rini's sixteenth birthday. She then reappeared at the stables to spend a few weeks with her father before telling him the Druids had charged her to travel the land and do Chaunteah's good work. She asked her father for his blessing, and he gave it. A month later, with Strut, her mother's violin, and a staff sung form the wood of a living oak tree, her journey began.
