Tyranny of Dragons

I am liking the prologue as it gives me some RP time (which I like). Whatever, you're the GM.

How do you want to handle hit points for level 2? Roll? Average?

How about the hybrid method, roll hit dice, but a roll under the average is counted as the average? Eg. d8 hit dice will always grant at least 4 hp?

Works for me. I'm taking a second level in Cleric, so leveling is pretty straightforward.

Hit points (level 2) (1d8.minroll(4)+1=9)

Well, that worked out well.

History:

Born in the countryside around Nashkel in the Sword Coast from unknown parents, Miri spent her childhood living in an orphanage operated with the support of the local temple of Helm. As a youngster, she was set to earn her living as a weaver's apprentice. Unfortunately her patron was an evil halfling man of malign greed, who not only ran his business ruthlessly, but was also a usurer, causing widespread suffering among families in debts. Despite her intentions on serving her master dutifully, Miri slowly realized his true nature, but founding it impossible to recur to the law, she began to secretly forge his accounts and pilfer from the shop's vault in order to repay back his victims. When the weaver discovered her, he publicly ashamed her and got her arrested; the local people couldn't challenge the law to help her, but managed her escape from the city prison. Unfortunately, she is still wanted in Nashkel and can never go back.

Miri knows she's not the brightest. But when she was still a little girl, a gypsy woman from a travelling caravan found an interest in her, and invited her for some small fortunetelling. When offered a deck of tarot cards to pick from, Miri drew "The Magician" card, only to found that the character depicted looked precisely like herself. Since that time, and despite everyone's opinion against, she's been stubbornly convinced she should become a wizard, and nothing ever made her desist. Her kind and gentle demeanors have earned them at different times her arcane crystal focus she carries as a pendant, her first spellbook, and the teaching of her few known spells, as gifts by a variety of individuals. She still carries that tarot card with her all the time.[/sblock]

I'll try to get to leveling soon. I'm having some difficulty keeping my eyes open long enough to do anything of that magnitude lately.

I have limited access until tomorrow morning and can't pull up the dice roller, but Rolen intends to ask little Tim about his leg and perhaps heal it if he is able, so please don't move on until I have a chance to make a proper post.

Never mind - posted.
[MENTION=6749529]Jimmy Disco T[/MENTION] - FYI - I'm not sure whether we're going to stay overnight in town or on the road, but in case we gloss over it I wanted to remind you that I think Rolen's next 'dream' is scheduled to hit during his meditation period this evening. By now Rolen should have a pretty good idea when to expect it, so he will likely seek privacy to 'prepare' himself for it.

I was going to let everyone have a good night's rest at the inn before heading to Greenest the next day, and once everyone has levelled up. Do you want to roleplay the dream yourself (This could also go for Erevan who has the same background)?

I wasn't sure whether you had any specific imagery you wanted to convey in the 'dream', so I wanted to give you the opportunity to do so if you did. If not, I'm fine with roleplaying it myself.
