In terms of region, Rashak will be from the Drow Elf region, which gives him Elven and Undercommon as automatic languages. He'll take Drow Sign as his bonus language. His bonus equipment, stolen from a inattentive drow guard, will be a Hand crossbow and 20 bolts.

I'm not sure what deity to choose, do you have any suggestions of who might fit Rashak's background?

Perhaps Eilistraee would fit.

OK, now we're beginning to get some finnished characters. When your character is considered ready for playing, just say so, and I'll look it over. Hopefully we'll be able to start one of the next couple of days, at the latest.

Excellent! Thanks.

Out of curiosity, have any of you played/read/DM'd this adventure?

Nope. I've been meaning to pick it up and run it for my PCs, so now I get a test run from the other side of the 'screen'.

Unless there's anything else needed for Jyren, I'd say he's done.

Nope. But I did read a story hour about it on these boards. I forget who wrote it. It was brutal though. Lots of party deaths. Ended in a TPK. Don't remember much about it. I know the party was facing monsters they've never seen before, which seemed resistant to all kinds of damage. And there were lots of save-or-die effects. The straight melee was pretty brutal too. Spellcasting was also tough against opponents with SR.

Rashak is ready too, I think.

I'm usually not much in favor of material components, but in this case you have a point. You might also notice, that I have scrying as spell, but not the required focus ... I'll simply set aside some money for components and worry only about the few more complicated ones.

I've read one of the CotSQ storyhours (the one with Entropy and Joachim), but I'll try to blot out what memories remain.

The only thing I've seen so far, is that you've used 22 skill points, and you have 24 to use.

I read a different one. Strangely, I don't remember the module as much as I do the characters. There was a human necromancer (wickedly evil guy), a halfling rogue/shadowdancer (really funny), a half-orc drunken master (killed), a human cleric (killed). The dead characters came back as new ones, and they added a fifth I think. I remember they all died just moments after they entered a room. They didn't even see who/what it was, but other posters were talking about how nasty that Wail of the Banshee is.
