Glad it went well. Did you use us as Pregen PCs? Or did you just generate a couple of your own? Or was it BYOC?
I offered my 6 players their choice of ten characters:
Dragonmarked Human,
Goblin Druid {Tull},
Khoravar (Half-Elf) Bard {loosely based on Chen},
Talenta Halfling Rogue {based on Selena},
Valenar Elf Fighter {Thaean's stats, Thail's background},
Valenar Elf Ranger {loosely based on Thail, but is best man},
Changeling {if someone picked changeling, they would have pretended to be one of the other character choices},
‘Swiftwing’ Shifter Monk {a character I made for another game that I haven't gotten to use yet},
Valenar Elf Paladin {variation on Thaean},
Warforged Barbarian
After they e-mailed their choices I made the PC's
Nilen d’Deneith, Dragonmarked Human Fighter
Mount: Magebred Light Riding Horse
Tuul Draar (slow death) Goblin Druid
Mount: Giant Wasp Animal Companion
Serena, Khoravar (Half-Elf) Bard
Mount: Light Riding Horse
Madori, Talenta Halfling Rogue
Mount: Clawfoot
Thail Aerialuna, Valenar Elf Fighter
Mount: Valenar Warhorse
Vecteau Kethir, Valenar Elf Ranger
Mount: Valanar Riding Horse Animal Companion
They did very well, although I decided that the ending was too easy, so I'll be upping the challenge for you guys.
The Dragonmark "
Protection from Arrows" ability came in handy. So did the Bard's
Locate Object spell.
