Summary

Montblanc the Bamboozler is a gnome who enjoys books and drinking. He is an accomplished wizard that specializes in Illusion magic.

Appearance

He is tall for a gnome standing about 3'5" and is very stout. He has a healthy looking body though it has gained quite a few scars on his olive skin from his adventures. His most prominent scar is a pair of bite marks on his arm from when Vertis bit him in Hail. His black hair is in an almost constant mess from the simple lack of maintenance. His short robes match his Green eyes because he believes that is the color of illusion magic. He wears the witches hat he got from the witch of hail and treasures the gift greatly. He carries two large staves on his back that are much too tall for him.

Back story

Vertis Campaign

Items and Magic

Montblanc was an interesting wizard because he used his spells to harm many people as well as create lots of fun. His illusions were primarily used as a suppliment magic to make things more fun and as a warning to other people. One thing he liked to do was march into towns with an illusionary dance line of women behind him all doing the thriller dance. He also used Major Image to create giant likenesses of himself to talk to the entire town of Barrier Hold. He also liked to create illusions of himself and run around to confuse his enemies. As far as evocations go he preferred the spells, resilient sphere, chain lighting and cone of cold. Montblanc however didnt believe in using defensive magic because he knew he could prevail over any force that is why he banned Abjuration. Since Necromancy was also a non protected school at the time he saw no reason to learn it so he abandoned learning Necromancy as well.

He only possessed three real magic items during the course of the campaign. The first item was the shard of Brailheim that he found in the mansion in hail. He loved that item as he knew it would grow him the city he always wanted. When it was taken from him he was very sad and wanted revenge against Vertis. The second item he received was the Thorn Staff from the hall of weapons. He used it only a few times but mostly liked it because it looked cool. The third item was the magical staff Creedis that spoke to its wielder, its previous owner Micky died in Barrier Hold and Montblanc took his staff as his memory of him. He greatly enjoyed having the staff not only because of its magical effects but because it was as narcissistic as Montblanc was.

After Vertis

With Vertis Defeated Montblanc went back to his passion of writing. He published his second book "The Taming of the Snake" which was a recounted story of his adventure from start to finish. He gave everyone their proper dues in his story, thanking them all for the great adventure. Since he enjoyed being in the village of Rosewood so much he decided to move there permantly and stay with Mak and Nile. He then published several more books both on magical theory pertaining to Illusion magics. He eventually settled down and started a family, with a gnome named Merlina, they went on to have 4 children named Brent, Ovak, Micky, and Nile.


Relations with other Characters

Soveliss - When Soveliss joined the group, Montblanc was like will all people initially trusting and intrigued by this new character that was associating with the party. After he found out what Solveliss was really, he really was intrigued by him. To Montblanc Soveliss was a dear companion that he enjoyed being around. He even on occasion offered the vampire his own blood when Soveliss was in desperate need. It was quite enjoyable to see him rise up and become a celestial creature but was very sad to see him leave, however it was not unexpected.

Brent - The relationship between Brent and Montblanc was an odd one to say at the best. Montblanc admired Brent for his Can-do attitude and his massive strength. He referred to Brent as "Dimples" because of the toothy smile the giant had. He like to ride on Brent's back and braid his hair when he could. He enjoyed being around the simple creature because it offered a counterpoint to his own intelligence. Brent was also one of the only people Montblanc would listen too just because he trusted in Brent's keen observations and the ability to make everyone shut up. He understood Brent's desire to stay behind and raise a family and was happy for him.

Ovak - The one initially called pots because she moved around like clanking pots.

Nile -

Micky -

Mak - Mak is the kindly old gentlemen that lives in Rosewood. He is Montblanc's supplier of alcohol and a damn good one at that as well. Montblanc enjoys the old man's company and his spirits. Montblanc gave him much money for his home brews and started a Bar with him. After the campaign ended he lived with Mak for a short time before his own house could be built.
