I was thinking in a dwarven warrior, an part of Bordrin's Watch's permanent guard. Is that possible or would you prefer not?

Voda Vosa, I'm quite happy with a dwarven military character idea, but just bear in mind the adventure starts with the forming of groups out of the militia volunteers. So you'll need to figure out a way for your dwarf to join that part, rather than just stay in Bordrin's Watch itself (if you made him a permanent Watch guard).

So maybe he's a town guard instead, or maybe he's a retired member of the Watch who was living in Overlook and has decided to assist, or maybe he's a drill sergeant that's been brought down to help get the militiamen in shape. Anything like that would be cool with me. Thanx!

The Lost Ones are the city's thieving guild. A clandestine organization, they have agreements with nearly all the enterprises in Tradetown, offering protection (or rather exemption) from thievery and the promise to leave their customers alone.

would you have a problem with my warlock being a member of said guild? (She'll have all the requisite 'thief' type skills... bluff, stealth, thievery, streetwise.

Nope, so long as you're okay with any potential roleplay incidents that crop up with the city guard and such should they find out. But if you're okay with working through it, have a ball!

Talk about a character with "consequences"... heh, heh. Wait until you meet Dorn.

Oh, and it looks like I've been suckered in.

Would it be a huge problem if I introduced more than one character? I wonder if we might have some overlap and dammit, I like to make characters!

If you want to, that's fine... just bear in mind that if you spread your work too thin, you'll give some characters short shrift. But if you think you can give a couple characters the amount of history and characterization they deserve, I'll consider them all.

Right now it appears we have twelve characters thus far established, and I know the classes behind most of them. Here is the current list as I see it. Those of you who are in the "Unknown" section, please feel free to correct me with what your actual class was intending to be and I'll put you in the proper place in the chart.

I'm enjoying this section of the roleplays quite a bit, and will throw out some additional events for folks to deal with and rp around. This is all about give and take dramatic writing (and not worrying about rolling dice), so if stuff happens that would ordinarily involve numbers off a character sheet... just create your own dramatics and we'll all work around each other. Write and have your characters do what would make for an awesome and dramatic scene, and don't worry about not having dice rolls to tell you how you did. Make it up and work with each other.

DEFENDERS:

Henry Butcher (The Digger) - Human Fighter (Great Weapon)
Gombar Firebelly (Voda Vosa) - Dwarf Fighter (Guardian)

STRIKERS:

Warrick Steel (Keia) - Elf Ranger/Avenger (Two-Weapon MC)
Michelle (Jemal) - Human Warlock (Infernal Pact)
Gloomblade (Insight) - Halfork Rogue (Brutal Scoundrel)
Ralak-Nul (WarlockLord) - Drow Rogue (unknown build)
Chris (Velmont) - Halfork Rogue (Ruthless Ruffian)
Wendigo (EvolutionKB) - Shifter Monk (Centered Breath)

LEADERS:

Tresa (The Digger) - Dwarf Cleric (Devoted)
Dorn Thirae (stonegod) - Half-Elf Bard (Valorous)

CONTROLLERS:

Tregar (renau1g) - Dwarf Invoker (unknown build)
Galatea (Kobold Stew) - Elf Druid (Predator)

At first, I was thinking Chris would be a Ruthless Ruffian Rogue. As I have seen many striker appearing in this game quickly, I thought he could also be a Tempest Figther. Once I have made my idea, I'll tell you. I think futur roleplay will decide which will fit best.

I've made my mind. Chris will be a Ruthless Ruffian, and I've decided to introduce a new character, Baldwin, a dwarven earthstrength Warden. So that way, I won't have to choose between a striker and a defender for now, I have both.

The Liberator of Overlook is a Valorous Bard w/ some Swordmage MC (though that last part is a flexible; the MC was to help cover our lack of defenderiness early on) and is insulted the you thought him a mere sorcerer! Humph!

By the way, I have left open the creature that attack Baldwin and Gundar. In the introduction, they talk the orc are marching through the Vents. I thought they would probably upset part of the ecology of the underdark, pushing some creature to the surface, but I don't know the ecology of that place.

I know I'm already feeling inspired stonegod... although if we both get picked there will be some fightin' over the purple text for speech

As for which build I'm leaning towards wrathful, as I'd imagine one worshipping Moradin would be pretty wrathful towards orcs.

Seeing as how the they revealed the playtest of the monk, I was going in that direction. It's currently on the wizards site and will be added to the compendium apparently on the 2nd of June. Since you said the character builder is fair game, I assumed you had access to the insider as well. If not, reflavoring as cleric is fine.

Sounds good, Evo. I'll make the change. I do have DDI, so the Monk's info is fair game.
