Who are you? Part 1 - Milo Corvus

Taking a little break this week, since we had some scheduling conflicts. But I figured I could share with you some of the characters I've played in my Fifth Edition journey. Each has been a lot of fun, and of course what player doesn't love sharing stories about their character. So here we go with the first.

He looks cool, but his luck is
always about to run out.

• Milo Corvus - Halfling Rogue/Thief - Lost Mines of Phandelver
• The first ever Dungeons and Dragons I created way back in the mid 1980s was a rogue for the old Red Box starter set. So I figured I'd keep the tradition alive, since this adventure was part of the new Starter Set.
• Milo was not the first character I created. I made a couple of test drive characters to practice character creation and practice using the Roll 20 platform for on-line gaming.
• I saw the name Milo in the Player's Handbook (PHB) as one typical of Halflings, and I just liked the sound. Corvus means Crow, and it is actually an alias - rogues and aliases go together like peanut butter and chocolate.
• I used my cheesy Irish accent for Milo (note: all my accents are cheesy).
• Backstory - Milo was a spy in a noble house. He ended up on being blamed for helping in the murder of the count. He was looking for an exiled sister of the current count to help her regain her rightful title.
• Typical Milo - I will always remember Milo for his horrible dice rolls, especially when he was attempting to use his signature abilities. Need to sneak - Milo failed. Need to open a lock - Milo failed. Need to find hidden doors - Milo failed. He had great stats, but man the dice hated him. Poor guy. 
• Favorite Moment - This wasn't all Milo's fault, but the entire party nearly died - because of an underground river. Milo's cursed dice rolling struck at the worst possible moment. There was a rope, there were other party members, and yet everyone kept rolling poorly. Soon the whole party ended up in the water and hurtling toward the waterfall (and certain death). Finally the party was able to scrape out a couple of good rolls and made it to safety. But Milo was the last one and only a lucky grab of a rope kept him from plummeting to his death. A few moments later he was knocked unconscious by a rampaging monster with a taste for halflings. 

Right from the Red Box, Larry Elmore's trio of
non-human adventurers. Is that Milo in the middle?
