ic/ooc: reaver training

[hlif]

So I heard you wanna be a Reaver, kid.

Thanks to a wild night out on the outskirts of Nevarra, during a drinking contest, Asher drank something that happened to have the ritually prepared blood of a dragon in it. He passed out for two days and woke up a Reaver. Asher is more than happy to teach others this discipline.

This post is for anyone wanting to come to Asher for Reaver training so we can discuss it oocly and then have some ic stuff if you want to do more without it being spammed in any of the communities!

To become a Reaver will require Asher to have some sort of CR with your character - we can handwave the getting to know you parts, he hangs around the tavern and sparring ring often enough that they've probably already met.  Chantry-aligned characters would take more time to convince him, if they wanted him as a teacher, because he just doesn't get on with them.  Ideally it would involve going with Asher to procure dragon blood (from dragonlings unless you managed to get some from fighting a high dragon in any areas during plots) before he goes off to prepare it.  (Of course he asked the guy he got it from how he made such amazing moonshine he's not a total savage.)  Then you drink it, probably collapse, and Asher is proud of you.

If you want to work in obstacles, to draw out the training in the early stages or at any point, grab me here.

Then I promise you, you may keep that reputation intact. [Kain isn’t the sort one might expect as a regular in the library either, he’s much more a hands on and “learn by experience” type. But, well, there are times when the information is beyond him, and even back home he’d always had time for studying dragons and dragon lore. As a boy he used to disregard all other studies so he could learn about the scaly beasts. Well… and anything relating to battles and battle tactics of course. There was a lot to be said for learning from wars of the past.]

More and more, this is sounding like it’s truly the right path for me. Believe me, I can take some hits and keep going, even as I am now. It’s not a true challenge without some pain involved… and if it lets me defend others, all the better. [The war of the gods had made him even more reckless, even more the sort to push through his aches and pains to keep going. He may have been starting down something of a Reaver path already without entirely realizing it… Not intentionally and not purposefully before now, of course. But now that he has a focus, and a purpose for why he pushes himself like this… he feels fulfilled somehow. This is meant for him.] I certainly wouldn’t want to do this if it was easy, either.
