After Persephone died I made a bard. She was OK. My GM is particularly adverse to sonic, song, and music attacks so I made a poet bard. She actually isn't dead I lost the character sheet and then found it again so I may play her again sometime.
This story refers to the game world that was created by our GM, Josh Sterns of Winter's Riddle. The Opallus was a macguffin that we were looking for and boy when we found it did we find it.
Selena of Riverfork
Selena crouched down next to a rare desert flower in the ruinous
landscape. She attempted a quick sketch and then gave up and plucked
the flower, squashing it between two pages of her book. It would not be
the source of an epic poem but it may make an interesting piece for her
group to listen to. That is if she ever found a group. Bards did not
do well travelling alone, especially in this wasteland.
“The Last Survivor,” that was the epic she was working on. The title
was deceptive, the story was not her own but that of her group and the
search for the Opallus. Selena had been working on the piece one member
at a time ending each section with their tragic end in this horrid land.
Checking her notes Selena carefully put her book away and recited the
last section she had written to herself. “The brave Paladin Shola, had
taken up her mighty spear/ and with her mighty battle cry drove it
straight into the heart of Feyr.” It would be a living testament to
their glorious battles.
The slight framed girl climbed over a rock and gazed into the
distance. She had seen the tower from far away and was sure it must hold
some secrets of the ancient Sloon. Selena couldn’t wait to write all
she found within the tower. The Opallus was the quest she had started on
but the Chronicles of Ya were her true goal. Looking up at the sky,
Selena judged that she had at least a few hours before she needed to
make camp. She wasn’t sure if she could make it to the tower before
then but she would definitely be there before nightfall tomorrow. With
that thought to push her on, Selena stepped off her rock and walked
onward.
