Okay, I added a picture for Mero and should have his IC post up shortly. I found a cool image from an Enworld person named Pozas. However while searching for gnome pictures I was sorely tempted to use this little guy: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UqFPujRZWo]YouTube - D&D 4th Edition: Tiefling & the Gnome[/ame]

Well, I'll tell you, Scott. What I initially had in mind is that each of the PCs would arrive at the tavern due to a previous inviation from Janiven. But, you know what, I think we can probably work with what you've got there. Maybe Marcus gets sucked into the adventure just from being in the wrong place at the right time, so to speak. Let's see how it plays out.

Nice clip, SS, but I think the pic you chose works very well!

Malvoisin · 30th August 2009, 04:24 AM

DeWar, what do you think about this pic for Marcus? Just a thought, I saw it on Paizo's site and it looked like it might be a good fit.

Scott DeWar · 30th August 2009, 11:20 AM

like the pic and sorry for the missunderstanding. I would like to try the wrong place/right time theme. Its that destiny yhing working on him again!

otherwise, did do everything yoou needed?

Mal -

Is it too late in the game for me to make a change to Slip's feat and weapon choices?

I've been struggling with the combination of scimitar and short sword. It makes excellent sense from an efficiency standpoint, but the mental picture I get doesn't quite work for me. I chose it after a lot of pondering mainly due to a lack of an option that worked any better.

I was reading the Golarion campaign setting yesterday and found a listing for the Falcata, a type of sword I've always liked personally. I don't know if you're familiar with these, so I'm attaching an image. I really like the picture I get of Slip dual wielding a Falcata/Kukri combination. I think it's the similar appearance of the two weapons, with their concave curved blades. I'll have to forego the Two Weapon Fighting feat at first level to take the Exotic Weapon proficiency, but I've pretty much always gone for style over substance.

The Falcata is an exotic weapon doing 1d8 damage (size M) with a crit listing of 19-20/x3.

If you feel it's too late in the game to make the switch I'll understand - just let me know!

Thanks.

Hi all,

I have a very full morning, but I'll have a new IC post up later today. Hopefully, Mark Chance will have an opportunity to introduce Rolf by then.

Scott, I'll have one more look-see at Marcus' character sheet later, and let you know if there's anything else needed. Glad you like the pic.

Mowgli, it's okay with me if you want to retool Slip's weapon selections, since we haven't had any combat yet.

Have a good morning everyone!

Thank you, sir! I'll make the changes to the RG when I'm on my home computer this evening.

Sorry to hear you've got surgery scheduled, Scott. I hope it's not too serious, and that you make a quick recovery! Don't be too concerned about your posting rate, I know I'm not.

Malvoisin · 31st August 2009, 10:12 PM

All, the Westcrown portion of the first RG entry now contains a section entitled 'Westcrown by Night.' It goes into greater detail about the shadow creatures that wander the city after dark, and the resultant curfew. Enjoy!

Malvoisin · 2nd September 2009, 05:57 AM

Hi Mark, I'm happy that you were able to introduce Rolf on the IC thread.

Don't worry if your desire/ability to post is a little sporadic right now. I'm sure it mst be very difficult to deal with the uncertainty of unemployment in the current economic environment. Take care of yourself and your family first and foremost, post when you can. I'll nudge Rolf along after the others as needed, no worries.

Malvoisin · 2nd September 2009, 07:29 PM

Hi guys, I just posted a pretty good-sized update to the 'City Geography' section of the Westcrown info in the RG. It details the Parego Regicona, the last of the three major districts of the city.

edit: new IC post tonight, so if there's any other role-playing you want to do before the story advances, do it now!

Is there some sort of knowledge check we should do about the creatures to see what we may know?

The reality of the danger that stalks Westcrown's streets by night is well known as fact to anyone who has resided for long in the city. No Knowledge check required.

Scott DeWar · 3rd September 2009, 02:27 PM

So then, what is the threat of the night? is it undead, like shadows , or some sort of fell creatures from the diabolical planes of the hells?

Well now, that would be telling, wouldn't it?

Just hang out on a dark street after nightfall, and you'll find out.

Scott DeWar · 3rd September 2009, 05:59 PM

I think I will pass at this time, thank you any way. Just thought I would ask. You never know what you can know until you ask!

It's cool, man. You're absolutely right, it doesn't hurt to ask, but that would just be giving away too much. You'll discover lots more as the plot unfolds.

But the 'offer' still stands for Marcus! You sure he doesn't want to unpack a bedroll in a dark alley somewhere and have a sleepover? Could be fun...

Scott DeWar · 3rd September 2009, 06:27 PM

ummmmmmm, nope. pass. thanks any way. don't want to make another character right after the game starts.
