Howdy - apologies for the lag in responses. IC post incoming.

@New folks (you're 'new,' garyh): you'll need to decide where you want to come in, feel free to surprise me, but you're all approved to play. EDIT: Pick one of the vignettes to enter - all of the PC should start in the cavern.

@renau1g (and nerdytenor): Argosin's background is good, I like that he took mementos from his wife and child, even though he was emotionally distant while they were alive.

I do need to clarify a few things about the setting...

1. The Dragh clan is as small or large as it needs to be, but you should talk to nerdytenor about them, since they were a clan of his creation.

2. None of the inhabitants of Naedur have lived Outside - the Dragh included. Their clan has lived in underground 'wildernesses' for centuries (before finding goblin outcasts that eventually led them to Naedur). That won't make too much difference, except that they'll have been hunting something not-boar, and their village will be different.

Keep the warforged, but let's say it was a good while ago and that the Clan decided discretion was the better part of valor, picked up stakes, and left the warforged faaaar behind (the warforged didn't give chase) once and for all. Then they found the goblin and Naedur with in the last few years and here we are.

EDIT: nerdytenor should weigh in on anything involving the Dragh. Feel free to coordinate and brainstorm elements of the clan history.

Work?

[nerdytenor]

Looks like good stuff to me, renau1g.

[renau1g]

Sounds good, i'll update accordingly. Is there a RG set-up, or do we use the wiki? I'm not very familiar with editing wiki pages, but I'll give it a try.

[Sparky]

I'm going to revamp and/or disestablish the wiki (and move to keeping everyone's character records in Character Builder - thanks to those of you who took the effort to put up your sheets when I was insisting on it), renau1g and others, don't worry about getting your sheets in detail up there.

If you have the Character Builder, PM me for contact info and send me your sheet. If you don't, don't sweat it, I'll enter your PCs myself.

Also - hafrogman, didn't mean to neglect comment on your introduction to Gutwick - awesome! Really have a good sense of him. They Duty Stones aren't meant to be handed around, you're supposed to keep whatever one you draw... but maybe Goblins are special and folks can foist their Duty Stones off on Goblins if they're handy.

Well, I hadn't meant it as a foisting off, mostly because what that would imply about Gutwick's boss who's supposed to be an okay guy. I thought either he had the authority to dispense them, or someone had happened to deliver one for Gutwick while he was dreaming. I don't know who does assign them, so if that's too big, the second idea still works. I could see a runner being sent around to everyone who has goblin workers and informing them that their laborers were being temporarily coopted for the good of the community.

I'll figure out where to insert Gutwick today, and mail you the character builder file tonight.

[Sparky]

That works, because Gutwick wasn't where he was supposed to be, as his boss, Hargin could draw a stone for Gutwick to give him. Gutwick would be responsible for the duty. Though the Stone servers prefer for the stones to be drawn and witnessed by agents of the Duty office.

[Sparky]

renau1g, garyh, you guys joining us?

[hafrogman]

Have you tried PMing them?

[nerdytenor]

Hey Sparky - for some reason, I don't have permission to view the latest map.

[Sparky]

Nerdytenor, I'll look at this late tonight or tomorrow. Only have access via mobile ATM. Hard to fix. Will get to it soonest.

[Sparky]

Actually, nerdytenor, see if you can access the map now.

[nerdytenor]

No such luck stills says <my email> does not have access to this document

[hafrogman]

I'm unable to access that map, either.

I can access the others, just not Krik's.

[Atanatotatos]

Strange. I can see the map just fine.

Aside from this, Sparky, I'd like to ask you if you're indeed still willing to go on with this game. I've been looking forward to this game from the beginning and I still like it and I want it to go on for a long time. But, it is noticeable that the updates after a while have been rather...eh...sparse.
I'm not blaming you, I understand that RL can get in the way. Just wanted to know your intentions.

[Sparky]

I think about this game every day. I don't like how sparse my updates have been (especially given my advice to other DMs ), but I'm anxious to see how events progress. I'm definitely in if you guys are. Patience and persistence will be rewarded.

[Sparky]

nerdytenor, try this. The link is updated in the IC post as well. If you're checking it from an email notification, the link won't be updated.

[nerdytenor]

That did the trick, thanks Sparky.

I definitely want to stay here if that wasn't clear

To answer hafrogman's question for everyone:

Attacks are not at all common. Creatures make it through the wards from time to time and there is the occasional deliberate breach, but there hasn't been one of those in centuries. Kruthik live in tales old women use to scare children, where they burrow up steal bad children away or lay eggs under their beds. The Dragh have first-hand knowledge of them from their lives before coming to Naedur.
