[QUOTE="gideonpepys, post: 5723870, member: 79141"] I am starting a new thread to pick up from previous posts in 'Our Party', which gives a profile of each character in the group, and details [B]Sessions 0-1[/B]. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.enworld.org/threads/our-party.308881/[/URL] In this session, the strengths of the party generation method we employed really came to the fore. In our previous three-year campaign I had noticed how the rest of the players tended to defer to Tom (who plays unit leader Marshal Baldrey Korrigan) when making important decisions. Tom is a level-headed, methodical player with a thoughtful approach to the game. I asked him if he would be interested in playing the actual party leader and suggested that he choose the tactical warlord. Given the rationale of RHC membership that links the party together, I decided to ask the rest of the players to consider themselves (and their builds) as applying for a job. (This was in addition to the keyword element discussed in the first post of the Our Party thread.) Build-wise, each player needed to ensure that they had a good basic attack and that they were second-to-none at their rolls; the best that Korrigan could choose for his hand-picked unit. It was great to see how the combination of role, player and mechanics has forged a genuine leader in Tom (who was previously reluctant to take on that responsibility). Marshal Korrigan is the perfect leader - very serious, moral and level-headed. The other players defer to him frequently (and compete to gain the extra basic attack each round by ensuring they are in position). Here we have a bullet-point account of what happened in [B]Session 2[/B]: [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT][LIST] [*]In Stover Delft's office, the Danoran Minister for Outsiders, a young tiefling named Lya Jierre, presents the unit with a puzzle. Impressed by the speed with which they identify that the problem has no solution, she agrees that they are up to the job Delft has recommended them for: [*]Duchess Ethelyn of Shale has invaded Axis Island, a Danoran stronghold in the Yerasol archipelago.
