Enigmatic Pikeman

[Kinslayer988]

Well folks! Pikeman hit the dust, he enjoyed taking chances, writing tales, and causing chaos.

But who was Rikard Lenneous Pikeman? Many tales of who he was and what he tried to do will be up for the omniscient historians to decide. But there are some things known of Rikard Pikeman...

Rikard Pikeman was born to a wealthy mercenary who wanted to provide a brighter future for his child. Rikard rose to become a famed artist in his teens, rolling in coin and purchasing an estate. But as he grew old, so did his art. It became tasteless, leaving Rikard poor and alone in the shambles of his estate. Painting away until he found inspiration. Never before was there so much emotion as the darkening. And he wanted to immortalize it.

A striking bard was the plan. To play all parties causing trouble and more in the name of being a famed artist in the next world. For a saved hostage does not make a good story. A paladin stopping a great evil, a good story. A paladin being slain by a companion, even greater. He was very fun.

Alas I was just scratching the surface of who he was and what he planned. And now, so shall you. Not all of these are in order.



Being a 'Watch Asset' or pretending to be one had many perks.







Ivor the Slutton was a funny persona. Making innuendos and inquiring of 'sexual services'.







He spent some time with the Spellthief, and at one point turned on him to further himself! Here Pikeman is asking him what is the meaning of life. To which the Spellthief answers simply:











On Patrol!





I enjoy gruff guardsmen, but they did not enjoy Pikeman's antics...







Some escapades and ambiance.













And something to show who he was.

Continue having fun on this magic server. I know I do!

OH, damn... the plans.

Awesome screenies, btw.

[el groso]

Enigmatic indeed! And I did try to solve the puzzle in two PCs, having fun while doing it. Well done again, sir.

[LordOfBones]

If only he was half as good as Tannis.

Thanks El_G and Granny, and I forgot to mention thank all of you for your interactions with him!

And I forgot to mention or post my favorite paintings and some stories about them. These were absolutely fun to make and people paid well for them!

[Hide=The Collection of Debt]Owned by the Deathstalker of the Old Master. Position varies, most likely in her possession.

[color="red"]The Collection of Debt[/color]



[hide=Description]You see a man in the colors of the Society of the Ordered Mind, bloodied and weak. He has lost his balance near a pit of lava, and is about to fall in. In front of him, his executioner. A lithe figure that shows no skin, shows no identity, only the identity that is death, black and red. She is raising her leg for a final kick.[/hide]

[/CENTER][/hide]
Awesome, epic, and it took me thirty minutes to get the correct pose. He had little information to go off of besides what was told by Viirys and Ordinants. LAVA-KICK!

[Hide=The Reign of Waukeen]Owned by the Treasure House and its proprietor, Allibirto. Placed in the Treasure House.

[color="gold"]The Reign of Waukeen[/color]



[hide=Description]You behold a man bright as can be in demeanor, and garb on a drab background. The man is large, most definitely he has lived a comfortable life, and has a beard and coat of pure gold. Many would recognize this figure as the merchant, Achilleo Alibirto, or something similar. He is breaking from the pile of coin looking up with triumph as a pile of coin falls from above. His arm is extended, ready to embrace it.
As you look into the disastrous disorder of coin, you can see bodies limp, but no blood spilled. They lay there, expressionless, save for one on the left, a half-orc with eyes wide, clad in the silver-white armor of Achilleo's gatherers and a shield of bone. For he is choking on a mouthful of golden coins. Achilleo is oblivious, and reaches for the falling coins regardless in his grandiose form. [/hide]

I enjoyed making this, but I almost crashed my computer stacking coin stack after coin stack. That is ALL coin. I crashed about ten to twenty times during this specific painting. Took me well over an hour to get it just right.

[hide=The Night-Terrors of Irene Ellet]A painting gifted to Irene Ellet, many are unsure if it hangs in her office as a gentle reminder or if it was tossed into the trash long ago.

[color="purple"]The Night-Terrors of Irene Ellet[/color]



[Hide=Description]A small Halfling reporter fights for her life against a horde of antlered creatures looking something between a deer and a moose. Her black coat long turned red from bloodshed. The antlered creatures approach endlessly, guided by some strange force. A magical figure above is conjuring sparks of purple light together for some occult act on the unsuspecting reporter. He wears a pink and green moose mask.[/hide]

We can all guess why this is my favorite.

[VanillaPudding]

Fun character, nice work

[CaptLars]

I enjoyed Pikeman and The Slutton, sad to see you go, even though I was cheering your death ICly, but cheer up, your death netted me 100 gold. In all seriousness though great character, looking forward to whatever you come up with next.

[Tala]

I enjoyed the paintings

The dude was seriously creeping me out. A+

[Vlaid]

I was going to pay you a lot for the painting of Durgin but you wanted a favor instead :(

Then I died.

Cool and interesting PC all around. Even if I didn't quite follow who or what he was amid all his schemes and personalities.

[Faux News]

Had some fun interactions. Great creeper, Kinny.

[whiterabbit]

The paintings and their descriptions... awesome.

[Kinslayer988]

He always wanted Ralphy the Rabbit to kidnap him so that he could get a good look at a criminal.

[Dauerschlaf]

Damn it Kinslayer, all my plans!
