Hamir Huntsman's Retirement Party

[CondorHero]

TLDR: Rolled a character and just dive-in to efu and see where it takes me. Loved the ride.

Hamir Huntsman's concept was pretty simple, if anyone has ever read Joe Abecrombies' the First Law series, Hamir would be one of your average Northmen.

His background I cobbled together as I went, haha. He came from a small village/town in close proximity to Neverwinter woods. (only because it was the only place I know of from Forgotten Realm lore) He was a poacher and his skills saw him through the apocalypse.

Originally, I wanted Hamir to join the Stewards faction and check out all the cool druid stuff. But while wandering around looking for druid, (at level 4 still wearing rusty chain shirt lol) he got mugged by a mad halfling wizard name Twitch. Hamir didn't really have any thing valuable at the time, so Twitch took his Sanctuary ring and tell Sanctuary are full of slaads and he should go to Lower instead.

Not knowing the way to Lower, Hamir roamed around and stumbles into the Boneyard, where he met with some necromancers. The necromancers helped Hamir out, making a sending to the Watch to come retrieve their lost lamb and bring him back to the shield. Hamir was completely surprised by the cold reception he got from the Watchers, being that he's lost his ring AND found in company with Necromancers. So not only was poor Hamir robbed, he's now being charged for losing a ring of Sanctuary!

Our boy rolled with the punches, cause even though he had some bad luck, he gotta count his good luck too, he's still alive, at least. Speaking of luck! Hamir met with Acacia the Luckmaiden who seem to constantly try to convert Hamir to the faith. She would talk him up to be a big hero. (maybe one Sanctuary need, but does not deserve.) But Hamir is a practical/realistic kind of guy, so he brush off Acacia's talk of heroic daring-do's.

It was around this time that the Sons of Cyric was causing havoc with their Safety Patrols. One dark, while out questing with Acacia and a few others. The party ran into the Sons of Cyric who was accompanied by at least a dozen skeleton. (not gonna lie, I might've pooped a little at the sight of all those skeletons) Half the party ran, some one made a sending about Cyricists spotted. Hamir saw Acacia not running, so he stayed to stand with her. (maybe some of that heroic stuff she said got to his head, who knows) It turns out she's a cripple and couldn't run anyway. Cyricists took them down to the Illithyd's bar for a drink, Hamir was spooked out the whole time. Those guys were seriously creepy.

They were eventually released. But as soon as Hamir stepped outside. He found that there were about two dozen angry people ready to make a corpse out of him, led by the legendary Wayfinder-Captain Zsigmond Kadar his very self. Hamir was frisked, (Zsigmond frisked me and I didn't even get a T-shirt) and led back to Serena Tower to test for enthrallment. The whole thing just sour his opinion of Sanctuary a little bit.

His trouble didn't end there. Shannon, cleric of Tyr, civil clerk, was convinced that he was a Cyricist. And would tell everyone and anyone that Hamir was no less than a bomb waiting to blow. Hamir confronted her and they had a little spat in the middle of a square. He found out that he could've been charged with multiple misdemeanor. However, they reconciled after the Sons of Cyrics were slain. But the whole argument with Shannon soured Hamir's opinion of Sanctuary a little bit more. It just seems to him that Sanctuary treats you find and dandy until you accidentally broke a law and find yourself on the outside of the authority's good graces.

So he start hanging out down in Lower. Long story short. Met Hamish, got recruited to the Hound, does super cool jobs. Does some stuff he'd rather not do but did anyway cause that's the job. But starts to regret it and now distances himself from the Hounds and eventually decides that civilization isn't the place to be anymore and head out to be a wildling/hermit.



I shortened the stuff about the Hundred Hounds out of respect for the current events. But I totally enjoyed my part in the group. (I can say that I was a Hound before they were cool, as I toss my hipster scarf over my shoulder)  I retire Hamir because I've found that I enjoyed Gylin more, since she has a more solid background and more concrete goals (short term and long term) than Hamir. It wasn't fair for either group to juggle two characters at once.

Thanks to EFU community for crafting such a solid world to play in. I just realized the stuff I wrote has gotten waay too long and this was a short version!

Thanks to all the Hundred Hound players, especially Hamish O'Niel. I would probably never know about the game mechanics if I didn't party with Hamish.

Thanks to all my buddies, who talked me through the soul-crushing feeling that is EFU death penalty. And lend ears and advise in equal measures, when I needed it.

Sorry I didn't take any screen shots. Haha.

Woops. Its late I misclicked quote when I wanted to edit. >_>

Hamir was really cool! And given what a total bitch Shannon was to him, it was pretty awesome of him to confront her and force her to pull her mulish head out of her behind. She respected him after that!

Glad you are enjoying Gylin and EfU, especially after the initial bumpy ride poor Hamir had! o.o

Hamir was a cool dude- wish I had a few pics to share. What I remember most is when the Hounds found that really creepy fishing spot beyond the Badlands and you freaked us out whenever you got a bite.

Good luck with the next.

[hedsik]

Totally remember freaking you out in the tavern, well played and luckily people only ever saw you when you wanted them to! =)

[efuincarnate]

Thoroughly enjoyed Hamir, you had quite a long run on him. I am sure Gylin will be another PC to watch!

[TheSpooky]

Say one thing for Hamir Huntsman, say he never took crap from anyone.

[The Samophlange]

Hamir was a very humble and down to earth sort of PC, but I always really liked that about him. Always stuck to his guns and his friends. It's a shame I got to see so little of him after his move into Lower! Still, awesome character.

[Blackthorn]

We had a lot of fun dude.  We were all sad to see Hamir go.  Glad your happy with the PC your playing now at least.  Cheers

[goate]

Cheers man.  Hope I get to interact with your next.

We had some adventures. I really commend you for diving into the setting with your first PC and seeing where events took you, rather than taking the easier roads.

Looking forward to the next one!
