Description
Pender is six feet, 2 inches tall, and 240 lbs.
Pender has black hair and green eyes.
Pender is Neutral Good. He is something of a free spirit, but worships Heironeous when he feels that worship is in order.
Pender is a young soldier from Brindol. As a child, he was always fascinated by the tales of old Rhestilor his uncle would tell around the hearth, and wanted to one day join the Army of Brindol to help restore the glory of the fallen kingdom.
Pender's mysterious old "uncle" was himself a grizzled old veteran who, seeing Pender's fascination with his tales of old Rhestilor, took it upon himself to train Pender rigorously during his early teen years. Because of this, Pender entered the Army already more skilled than his peers and became a quick study during basic training. Additionally, Pender's uncle bestowed upon him the weapons and armor from his own youthful adventures.
However, basic training was a rude awakening, and Pender soon came to realize that Brindol's leaders were more interested in securing their own petty fortunes than in taming the land. When Pender was assigned to guard Brindol's foodstores--largely to keep hungry citizens from trying to pilfer a bite to eat here and there--his disillusionment threatened to squash his nationalistic spirit.
To avoid a growing cynicism, Pender decided to steal off with his warhorse Northwind and go AWOL, seeking his fortune in the lands around Brindol. Certainly this is a better way than guarding foodstores to experience the glories of old Rhestilor. But it also means Pender can't return to Brindol as anything less than a hero.

Looks good to me. Have you played the module before or ran it possibly (it's not a problem, I know Larian has played through a good portion of it). I ask because it looks like you have a pretty good grasp of the setting.

No, all of that comes from your first post in the OOC thread.
Now, I do own the module, but I have only glanced through it, and don't know any of the details. And you can trust me not to look at it as long as I am in this game--why would I want to spoil my own fun?
In fact, I have even avoided reading the IC thread, because I don't know yet whether my character should know anything more than what you tell me before you introduce me to the game. (By the way, do you think that will be soon, or still some time off?)
Weekends are typically slow posting, and Thanksgiving week might slow down our american posters (me for one), so it might be over a week before your character joins the game. Just giving that warning so you know what to expect.

I'm a touch confused by the current setup. Namely which way is the archer, and how high up. So a few clarifying questions:
How high is the second floor of the tower? How high is the roof of the room where the group spent the night?
Which way is the archer dangling? Over the room where the group slept? Down-right outside the keep proper? Up-left outside the keep proper?
If it is possible for Siobhan to position herself so that she can catch the man in case of a fall, she'll move there. Otherwise move to engage the remaining skeleton ASAP
I don't know how feasible it is, but I know that larian doesn't have featherfall prepared, and as a large creature, I figured Siobhan had the best chance.

It's only a 10 foot fall to the thatch roof, and then a 10 foot fall through it into the building below.

Thanks for letting me know. Do you think I should read the IC thread while I wait, or should I continue to avoid it?
Sounds good. To account for my character's knowledge, how about we assume that sometime after my joining the group, one of the other party members fills me in on what they've been up to.
How's this for a plan-- For now I will not read the IC thread. Then, if the current party members fill my character in on their history, I will read the IC thread. Of course, if they choose to embellish the story, or leave important parts out, they can let me know that in the OOC thread and I will NOT read the IC thread.
Basically, I think for the sake of roleplaying it might be better if I don't know things my character doesn't.
Creamsteak, could you approve/disapprove the following spells from Spell Compendium, please?
Kelpstrand
Nature's Favor
Hypothermia
Mass Lesser Vigor
With Scarlet dead, Avril might want to prepare a different set of spells that doesn't focus so much on her animal companion.
BTW, I'm aware that Red Hand of Doom is quite a chase without much or any time for resting. Is there going to be an opportunity at some point for Avril to spend 24 hours to call another animal companion?
