Vagris
Skilled Hunter
This character will probably not have the longest of lives, because I am absoluely the most horrid person when it comes to surviving. I normally play on 1/2 damage or sometimes when im crazily outnumbered i cowardly switch it to 1/4, so full difficulty is gunna be hell for me lol.
Backstory
Vagris, the son of Graveir, a skilled swadian veterain, had always had a talent for archery. His father wanted him to be trained in the art of the crossbow, as most swadians prefer above the bow, but Vagris hated the weapon the second he tried it, it was as slow as a 3 legged saddle horse and about as strong too, as far as Vagris was concerned. After many attempts his father gave up in shame and rage, but part of him felt for his son, so he allowed him to train himself the art of the bow. Vagris, after hearing this, started practicing as soon as he could, placing apples on the fences and attempting to hit them from varrying distances away. After many years when Vagris finally reached his early manhood, he was a very formidable archer, capable of the most unbelievable shots. Soon he set out with 4 of his good friends to seek adventure and richs.
Day 1
Vagris started out his journey in swadia, hearing that the furs which he had collected over the years sell good in the snowy reaches of vaegir, he set course to Curow right away. On his way he encountered 2 looter partys which he quickly dispatched with a flurry of arrows. When he finally got to Curow, he decided, what the hell, I'm joining the tournament. The first round was fairly easy, he got a horse and a 2 handed sword which he Ko'ed 2-3 enemys. Round 2 Vagris got a bow, smiling he quickly eliminated all on the field. Round 3 Things got difficult for Vagris, he was given a sword and shield while 3 enemys had horses, but Vagris managed to fend under a sword broke his shield and knocked him unconcious. Luckily the tournament master was impressed by Vagris's skills and let him in to the next round. Round 4 was the toughest yet. Vagris got the 1 weapon he dispised, the crossbow. He was against a lance wielding veteran on a horse. After many close calls and shot attempts Vagris claimed victory. Round 5 was a 3 way 1v1v1. Vagris got a bow and waited for the first two contestants to weaken each other. It was to his horror that the 1 with the 2h sword 1 shotted the enemys horse, and then knocked him out quickly with a 2nd. He was the King of the Vaegir. Quickly Vagris Shot arrrow after arrow at the King but he just kept coming. Shot after shot after shot, 1 headshot, 2 headshots, the King was only 10 feet away and Vagris was getting desperate, he knocked 1 last arrow back, fired, 3 headshot and the King finally went down. Vagris breathed a huge sigh of relief. Final Round was Vagris vs a Unnamed Champion Fighter. Vagris was given a sword and shield, while the foe was given a 2h sword. Despite a long fight, the Champion would not fall, and fatefully Vagris blocked the 2h sword with his face. K.O.
Day 2
Vagris, enraged by his close loss at the tournament decided to pick a fight with a particularly tough bunch of bear warriors. Vagris, no matter how many arrow he shot, could not take down their tough shields before they reached him, he quickly started moving back and shooting, although his friends were not as wise, being slaughtered by the bear tribesmen. Vagris struggled to shot but a tribesman hit him and he lost conciousness. He was taken prisoner and lost his bow, arrows, sword, and money. Sitting in rags, Vagris swore revenge on the savages!
Day 3
Vagris quickly recruited 14 brave swadian recruits and, armed with a butcher knife and tower shield, set off to get his friends back and fill his thirst of revenge. Vagris tracked them down, 5 left. In the battle Vagris decided to flank them from behind while the bear tribesmen were fighting the recruits, succesfully killing 2 of them with his butcher knife but being knocked out by a club to the face, the battle was still a success and Vagris freed his 4 friends and got his gear back.
Day 4
Unfortunatly for Vagris, it seemed that while he was fighting a large pillaging bear tribe was on his trail, Vagris was wounded and could not outrun the tribe, so in a act he truly regrets, he had 6 of his men hold the tribe off while the others and himself escaped to the safety of a town, 1 of the people among the 6 was 1 of his good friends, Vagris prays that he escaped or evaded capture.
Day 5
Vagris witnessed his first EPIC battle on this day. He had kept recruiting peasants until he reached 50 recruits all at the worst level. As he was traveling he saw a caravan being attacked by a pillaging bear tribe so he rushed to its aid. In a epic battle where Vagris came very close to death to many times, it was the sheer mass of numbers that won the day. Vagris also won his first battle trophey and lots of loot!
Day 19
After many battles with the bear tribes Vagris finally got his first Epic trophy, allowing him to get a powerful ring of regeneration. At this time Vagris is lvl 10 and has lots of vaegir archers to back him up (around 50). He also dropped all of his heavy armor and is going in with 0 encumberment. Sorry for not doing days 6-18 I got lazy.
Day 25
Vagris decides to get full plate armor, helm, and ancient boots, as well as a very powerful masterwork battle bow, with 23 cutting damage and 186 speed! He also found a balanced bladed staff which looks pretty epic when you swing it! At this time Vagris is lvl 12 with 79 hp.
Day 32
As Vagris was heading to Curow a migrating bear tribe ambushed him! Vagris and his rangers, completely outnumbered, were not able to down all the savages before they reached and a deadly melee erupted. The rangers seemed to be winning but Vagris knew it would not last for long so he quickly retreated and escaped the tribe. In that battle Vagris was reduced to I'm guessing 6-7 hp by a throwing stake and a eater of the dead hitting him once.
Day 40
Vagris while traveling to Swadia, came across a army of the dead, led by a legendary perished one. Vagris's men shook with fear as they saw the horrors of flame advancing but kept the line. The first wave was shot dead, but the 2nd they had run out of arrows except for a few. Vagris saw the perished one and shot, Headshot, Headshot, Headshot, Headshot, Headshot ,Headshot, and to his horror the perished one was unharmed to the slightest. In the horrifiying melee clash 7 rangers died. But victory was theirs, as well as a Death ward. At this date Vagris is level 17 with 88 hp
Day 52
Vagris encounters a migrating bear clan and decides to fight it with his large army of elite archers, and secretly hopes a few die in the process because he is largely in debt. Battle 1 goes bad as he does not have enough archers to take down all the bear clansmen, a melee breaks out and all of his archers for that battle were knocked unconcious or killed, Vagris flees the battle.
Day 54
Vagris used 2 days to recover from the battle and charged again, this time with better results, but he was forced to retreat from being overwelmed. He then instantly started another fight which faired equally well until a stake hit Vagris in the shoulder, dropping him to very low hitpoints, was forced to flee the battle early to avoid possible death.
Day 56
After healing up Vagris now desperate because of his shortage of money and because of the migrating bear clans numbers (150 or so) charges in with the last couple troups he has in a all out assault! But before he reaches them a caravan is attacked by the clan and soon following a lord and a mercenary party, Vagris comes and joins his allys in the fray.
Battle of the Clan
Forces are almost evenly matched with 30 or so more bears clansmen. Vagris has nearly no archers left and has to rely on his allys for protection and victory. Vagris at 50% hp, follows his allys which he cannot command, the mass amounts of bears were overwelming the ill trained recruits and foot soldiers. Vagris took out his bow and started a furious rapid fire, headshot, headshot, headshot, headshot, arrow after arrow was shot until he had none left, then he took out his sword of war and joined in the fray of soldiers, still many left on both sides. He blocked a blow from a eater of the dead and sliced it through the chest, then quickly saved a soldier being teamed by the enemy, as he went forward for his next kill, out of the corner of his eye he saw a piece of sharp wood come flying through the air, it hit Vagris straight in the head dealing over 100 damage. Vagris struggled to breath, in....... for what seemed like ages he tried as best he could to keep conciousness, but the light was fading, he was going to die, Vagris, with the little strength he had left, put his hand to his neck, trembling he unhooked the chain and held onto his most prized possesion, the almighty rare and legendary death ward, said to be able to bring someone back to life from almost any injury. Vagris prayed for it to be true. Seconds passed, and Vagris lossed consciousness, but he was still alive...
I will hopefully continue the story of Vagris and his very short life later.
