stonegod's Expedition to Castle Ravenloft: Ch. II [OOC]

I'm not fussed with what type of character we recruit. Basically any form of damage dealer/controller would be needed, not necessarily an arcane caster.

As far as the plan for the immediate future, I think we need to rest up somewhere before going into town, so as to read the tome, if nothing else, but this could simply be a 2-3 hour stop on the side of the road. Of course it depends on just what time of day it is as we leave the castle.

Regarding the tome, Ashlyn's opinion would be that it 'belongs' to the living descendant of the family that owned the castle. Since she has seen no evidence of a living descendant, ('Lord Sergei' is suspect) and since she has seen no other indication to the contrary, she considers it treasure, and since it is the object that Jarrith, Khensu, Marot, and Janis were after, she considers it to 'belong' to them.
However, Ashlyn may have a personal opinion regarding the tome once she knows what it contains. For example if (as I suspect) it contains information about the creation of undead, then she is likely to be fairly outspoken about destroying the book. Of course, she will respect that the actual disposition of the book will be up to the Thailost Four (Jarrith, Khensu, Marot, and Janis), but in such a situation she will attempt to convince them of her perspective.

Is Katrina's farmhouse outside of the village proper? Of the places stonegod mentioned, I think that might be the best (a roof plus bedding in the hayloft for a more comfortable rest and less likely to be seen).

I'm not so sure about going back to the Hill or the Vistanti camp... I'd rather just camp on the side of the road over both those options.

It is outside town... its where the crazy old man was.

Right. Then that would be my vote. Camp out inside the barn or something. Shelter, a little comfort, and away from prying eyes.

I like the character foundations you gave to introduce the new player. They make good sense and all three are very interesting concepts. It should be easy to design a very cool character with those foundations.

That being said... $20 bucks says that 4 of the first 5 respondents ask to design a character concept that in no way matches the three suggestions.

[sarcasm]Because their "original" background is always *so* much better and more interesting than the ones they're requested to use.[/sarcasm]

I'm curious how long its going to be until I see a bite. Long running games tend to fill slowly, and I've put enough hurdles up that it may discourage folks. *And* its a big weekend in the States. We'll see....

But I wouldn't take that bet...

Who doesn't like XP? This is for the fight with Lief and the other one.
- Tessa : 945+630=1575
- Ashlyn, Jarrith, and Marot: 720+480=1200

Totals:
- Marot: 32129 (8th still)
- Jarrith: 32808 (8th still)
- Ashlyn: 32643 (8th still)
- Tessa: 28710 (8th level)
Everyone: Please put your XP in your post (near the character's name is best). Make sure I have the totals right!

pathfinderq1 Let me know when you've leveled Tessa (and how you do so).

My apologies for the delay in posting ... Ashlyn's post coming up now

Hmmm .... Not sure that I would take that bet either, although I'd be more generous and guess 3/5 rather than 4/5.
