[OOC-D&D 4e: Forgotten Realms] A Paid Trip to Spellhold

[Voda Vosa]

Twiixt the shifter Warden and Taran the elven Druid

^.^

But I'll keep you in mind if we need a replacement. You are free to roll a character for the eventuality if you wish.
Thanks for the interest!

[FreeXenon]

@Voda Vosa: How do you want to do dice rolls? Dice Castle or will you take care of them?

[Voda Vosa]

I assumed that you'll prefer IC. Didn't cross my mind at the moment to ask you. But I think IC will do, right?

[Kamaru]

@Free Disregard I guess, looks like we'll press and meet up eventually.

[Walking Dad]

Did we already lost SeaPainter?

[Voda Vosa]

I hope not, but I haven't seen him active. He didn't show up in his game too.

[FreeXenon]

I posted yesterday, but my browser ate my post, and this is the first time that I had a chance to get it back up.....

[Voda Vosa]

No problem. We are all set then, just waiting for SeaPainter to make my update. I'll just wait him till tomorrow. I have sent him a PM. Let's hope he's back for tomorrow.

[Voda Vosa]

I'll assume Seapainter is gone, So I'll NPC him for a week. If he doesn't show up in that time, I'll take another player. Sorry for the delay boys

[Walking Dad]

Suggestion: Twiixt could travel back to the grove to alert the elders. If SeaPainter comes back, there is easily 'ancient and mysterious teleporation'.

[Voda Vosa]

OOC: Good suggestion, I'll take it, expect an update soon.

[Tiali]

Hey thanks for the update on my post.

I would love to join if you have an opening.

(Currently at work) I will post a character concept later tonight or early tomorrow. Would love to pick up a ranger (not sure on race etc), but as I stated in my earlier posts, I can and will gladly play anything. If you need something to fill a party gap lemme know. Ill check the thread again tonight b4 I start on character creation, If I don't see anything, ill most likely pick up ranger (unless something else catches my eye b4 then).

Please be aware, I am kinda a rules Noob for 4.0, but I pick up on new concepts fast

Also, any chance I can get an update on rules and what I should post since the game has already begun? The information on your first post labels starting info. Should I just use this information, or have the characters significantly surpassed these beginning stats.

[Voda Vosa]

Get a character up and we'll get to your Storyline introduction later. Be sure to have a background fitting the adventures, as the first post describes. Other than that, the sources are the enumerated there, and I'll be waiting to see your character. In the mid time, I'll update the IC thread shortly.

Storyline:

In the Stonehand Clan, every dwarf must earn his name and inheritance. For a young dwarf of the Stonehand Clan, this meant climbing the mountain to pray to Moradin for one full Lunar Cycle. After a month of steadfast prayer, the dwarf would climb down the mountain with the Blessing of Moradin, he would then leave the clan for a period of five years to find his place in the world. Upon return the dwarf would relate all of his adventures to the elders and earn his name upon merit of his actions.

This dwarf was the second son of the Stonehand Clan shaman. His elder brother left on his adventure three years before to earn his inheritance and name.

After the end of his Lunar Prayers, noone came to get him. He remained on the mountain top for three days past his normal time period, before he began to climb down.

Once he returned to the city, he found it completely demolished. Families dead in their homes, buildings destroyed, and friends lying in the streets. By the look of things, Giants had raided the small dwarven conclave during the night, and the dwarves were caught unprepared.'

He spent a full two weeks alone, burying each body that he could find, before the Autumn Merchant Caravan rolled in. The Merchants assissted in burying the remaining Stonehand Clanmembers. All members of the Stonehand Clan were buried with honor by this young dwarf and a handful of traveling merchants.

The merchants began calling this young dwarf Slim, due to his malnourished state and lack of proper name. Slim took a few things with him when he left, his fathers weapons, his traveling gear, and five days worth of rations.

With the blessing of Moradin hanging around his neck; a totem made of bone, in the shape of a burly black bear standing on a rock, Slim left with the merchants. He would continue the tradition left by his fathers, and he would make them proud.

Slim decided to leave the caravan in Amn and travel to Athkalta. He had heard that anything could be bought in Athkalta, and he intended to buy a courier. A courier that would send a message to his brother who travelled abroad.

Little did he know that this city of chaos would offer him more trouble than this short message was worth...

Please let me know if im missing anything. Thanks
Have somewhat of a backround ready

I am leaving this game as my depression issues and lack of time at work are conspiring against it. Sorry.

[Voda Vosa]

Sorry to hear that man, hope you get better. If you want to come back, you'll have a spot waiting for you.
