The Swiftarrow Crew, Part 2
Episode 0.5 - Fire, Flood, Dirt and Tornado
Today, we are going to look at the final prep work on the party. For each character, we will present a behavior they always default to and one they never participate in. In addition, there will be a blurb in which each character gives a brief impression of the character we are looking at.
Jonathan Swiftarrow
Always Behavior:
Jonathan sees everyone as a friend and will always approach in the open and try to talk to any sentient encountered, and most beasts and plants
Never Behavior:
Jonathan does not loot the bodies of minions or steal from noncombatants.
Grump Swiftarrow Impression:
‘E’s a good soldier, instincts almost as good as mine. Unfortunately, ‘e’s a little too elfy, just waitin’ for him gettin’ sassed by a houseplant.
Carolyn Swiftarrow Impression:
He is good enough with a sword, but I hope he doesn’t try to bring a demon home for dinner.
Sasha Swiftarrow Impression:
A perfect leader, quick with the blade, stupid enough to stand in danger and flighty enough to not see what really goes down.
Grump Swiftarrow
Always Behavior:
The one thing that makes Grump happy is loot, and he will always search a room that is part of a dungeon or enemy fortress.
Never Behavior:
As cranky as Grump is, Grump would never willingly leave a friend or a companion behind. He will always be the last to retreat.
Jonathan Swiftarrow Impression:
A good dwarf, he always seems angry, but really, he never is. A found bauble or tankard will bring a smile to his face.
Carolyn Swiftarrow Impression:
What a bore, honestly, his only use is as a brick wall to hide behind - and never try to talk to him.
Sasha Swiftarrow Impression:
A merchant’s son or something, then raised in a temple. From someone who never had to make a choice between food and crime and still is quick to grab any spare coin, he talks a lot about the “moral choice.”
Carolyn Swiftarrow
Always Behavior:
Carolyn Swiftarrow will always search for scrolls, maps, and books.
Never Behavior:
Carolyn never leaves a room until she has read any engravings or scrivings and at least the title of every book.
Jonathan Swiftarrow Impression:
Smartest person I have ever met. A bit dull in a tavern, and I am not sure why she ever leaves her desk.
Grump Swiftarrow Impression:
If Jonathan is too elfy in the talking to plants ways, Carolyn is too elfy in the talking to books ways, and knowing a lot about nothing.
Sasha Swiftarrow Impression:
Whooboy, Carolyn has all of the benefits of city life and of an education. I envy her, but honestly, she is a bit boring.
Sasha Swiftarrow
Always Behavior:
Sasha will always search all doors and rooms that she enters.
Never Behavior:
Sasha never goes first; even if she finds and disarms a trap, she will let someone else test it.
Jonathan Swiftarrow Impression:
She sees what I do not notice, but she is way too cautious - sometimes you need to trust your, well, my gut.
Grump Swiftarrow Impression:
As smart as Carolyn, but knows useful information. Carolyn will go on about traditional Grung recipes, but Sasha knows how people build traps and snares.
Carolyn Swiftarrow Impression:
Excellent bait, but sometimes she is a little too restless, and she always wants someone else to take the risk.
