Sepitus started out as a cursed man, vaguely inspired by the Tomb Colonists from Fallen London, with a Curse thrown in that would demand him make enemies allies, and constantly be amidst risk and conflict to survive. He started off as a simple sellsword and duelist, and well, quickly went from there. Ending up as a Knave, Assassin, and much more.

Can't have a thread for Sepitus without thanking Cat, Stranger, and Lannister, as well as a few others who shan't be named at this time. They're probably the majority of the moments here, and I can't thank them enough for the fun.

Props to DM Ironside, Abala, Vlaid, Halfbrood and a score others for all the amazing interactions among the DM team.

This shot sums him up well.

Screenshots, in rough order.
[hide]



Young Sepitus with some of the people who would be most influential throughout his life, summoning and slaying a Slave of the Sibilant.


Again, a number of important people, who he might have even considered friends at one point, before betraying horribly.


Runes of fireball are fun, kids. Especially when you blow up your own team.



Travelling with Merredith, Visimar and Acathos, frequently. At this point there was a Demonic plague coming about- from some Blackguard named Virgil.


The same Virgil he hunted down and almost caught alone in the Mongrelwoods as many hunted her. He extorted her for all she was worth, and then as soon as he left, pointed others right at her. This was one of the moments that let up to him becoming a Knave


An interesting figure...



Induction into the mysterious order of Knaves.


Travelling with his good friends even more. All over.


Meetings and deals with an odd fellow. The beginning of a long and strained friendship.


Slip ups from Merredith as her marriage to Visimar approached.


Conspiring with his Mercenary Company


Merredith Winespill was one of the kindest souls Sepitus ever met.


Besting trials with friends and allies, for pay this time.


Another great interaction. He meant to follow through, too-


But due to him, that day never came.


MANYWORM (The aftermath of the introduction of a certain druid faction...)


He made some more interesting friends. Though the relationships grew further strained, by fell deeds.


Fell deeds scarce go unrewarded. (See loot section.)


He fought in quiet a few dispensaries. And they were key to his greatest assassination, and also poetically, his end.


He ventured with Annette Winespill occasionally. The woman who would eventually kill him. She could be a bit odd.



He wasn't always paid for murder. Sometimes just delivering some innocent mail.



In the employ of fell powers he enabled terrible and gratuitous deeds, looking on with little a care besides a good fight and a fair amount of groat.


For those same fell employers, quite a reaction started up...






Though the Gnomish Sibilant Slaver eventually died before he could get a new batch, and he though it better to discard the rest he'd not gotten around to with lack of further pay.



BEES



A strange ritual in a strange plane.


More Visimar discussion and so on.



A failed murder came with grand and painful consequences.


Even still, Merredith was always there. (As was Visimar, and Acathos.)


Beseeching the Good Abbot.


One last deal before the greatest of betrayals.


Scheming. Before or after... perhaps both.




You do NOT fuck with the Adamantine Vault and get away with it. Lots of text here in spoiler.

Swashbuckler could be fun- When it worked and didn't hamstring you.


Employing new techniques, the King was able to prevent one ringrunner from retreating for hours on end, until a brilliant man with a charm animal scroll showed up.






The assassination of one of his closest friends, Merredith Winespill- As decreed by Old Grandfather.


Sepitus worked alot with Jeor. And also was hired by alot of people. ALOT of people to go after the Arbiters at one point or another.


He did always pay his debts, though....


A cross (and buggy) planar chicken.



He ended up killing a few people. This one offered to him as a reward for service- and to sustain his cursed and dying form without the magics of Melkoth, Acathos, Hawthorne or the score of other dark mages that offered him succor at one point or another.


Stalking about under Knave guise, he witnessed and caused a fair  few interesting things.



Ever get the feeling someone's watching you?


He was claimed to be a cold hearted killer by some.



And then he finally got caught, at a dispensary no less. A poetic end from a poetic... poet?

What you all know you want to see- LOOT
[hide]



Purchased from a certain someone in a similar line of work after one of the few grand heists the Knaves pulled.





The Red Queen's Kiss
A beautiful and potent blade that Sepitus wore proudly and openly for a good portion of his life. After all his wizardly allies were dead or betrayed, it was one of the few means he had of staving off the curse that was consuming him.



Santa has a thing for Knaves?

Sepitus was a wonderful boogeyman. Anytime I saw him, I clenched up and checked around the area twice as hard as usual. Very well played!

Cat

Sepitus by far has been my favorite char of yours to interact with. The whole story we shared together is something I am happy to have gone through with you.

Some of these screenshots really give me a case of the feels. :'(
