Okay, my instinct wasn't far off. I was going to say 400 gp.

Folks from the prior campaign will have been rewarded (and that will be in my introduction to the next section whenever I get around to writing it). I'm still a bit under the weather.

I was looking at ways of hooking Sariel into the campaign, to create an opportunity ofr her to know the other characters, or at least know of them.

I was thinking that Sariel could have been working the army that came to Leed's Landing as a scout or ranger. Or similarly with the hunting party lead by Everett's father.

Open to other suggestions as well.

As for gold, Sariel's gear comes to about 200. I was thinking about getting a spyglass, but its a bit expensive. So I'll go with a couple of healing potions and some fishing tackle. Which leaves her about 100 gp.

great, I’ll assume it’s 400 go plus starting equipment, which will be much easier for character creation (and besides Warlocks get very little at level 1).
Cheers,

I got a bit bored so I reworked Sariel's background:

Background (Outlander)
A child of the Iolanthe tribe, you grew up in the wilds, far from civilization and the comforts of town and technology. The wilds are in your blood. Even in places where you don’t know the specific features of the terrain, you know the way of the wild.
Wanderer. You have an excellent memory for maps and geography, and you can always recall the general layout of terrain, settlements, and other features around you. In addition, you can find food and fresh water for yourself and up to five other people each day, provided that the land offers berries, small game, water, and so forth.
Faction. The Iolanthe are allies of the Emerald Enclave, a group dedicated to maintaining the delicate balance between nature and civilization.
Personality Trait. I once spent 6 years stalking a dragon until it finally agreed to answer my three questions.
Ideal. Life is like the seasons, in constant change, and we must change with it.
Bond. I am a child of the Iolanthe, guardians of the forest wilds that protect and sustain us.
Flaw. I am quick to judge. Too quick sometimes.

You'll need to describe these "lolanthe" more if you are making them up. What kind of leadership structure do they have? Are they just local to Bit or can they be found in other places? Who is you direct superior? What is you relationship with this person like? How many people are members in the local area? Etc.

Sariel and the Iolanthe

There wasn't really much beyond what was in the post. I was just doodling up some ideas because there was nothing on TV and I didn't feel like studying. So maybe more procrastination than boredom.

OK, here we go. I will try and work through my thinking.

Sariel's original Bond read: I am the last of my tribe, and it is up to me to ensure their names enter legend.

I didn't want to go down this path. I feel like a Bond should be with something that actually exists. I wanted her to have a tribe. So I just picked a name for it. I envisioned it as a fairly ordinary wood elf tribe. They live in the woods/forests. The woods and forests support them, and in return they protect their home. Hence the guardians line.

I envisioned the tribe living somewhere reasonably remote. Probably a smaller tribe. Somewhere where forests rub shoulders with mountains. Somewhere on the map provided? Or from somewhere beyond?

I don't think that there are many others of her tribe around. They stay in their forests, mostly. That said, some/most do leave the forest to travel and explore at some point. They watch and learn. And when they return they tell the others what they have seen and learnt about the world beyond their forest. I didn't envision them as agents tasked with things and required to report to a handler. That said, being tasked may happen. Sariel's stalking of the dragon and the three questions she asked could have been a task.

Sariel's faction was Emerald Enclave. I wanted to tie that into her reality a little bit. I figured that some others in her tribe belonged to a faction, and most likely it would be the Emerald Enclave. Give that, and a similarity of world view between the faction and the wood elves, I figured that they would/could be allies of sort.

Hope that that helps.

Happy to discuss, change or amend any of the above as required to fit into the setting.

Hey all. Still looking for PCs?

 

[jmucchiello]

I'm on a business trip so I'm not sure how many folks have replied. So I'll say "Yes, still looking."

Hopefully I'll have time this weekend to devote to this pbp game once again.

As I understand it, the status is:

1. ArwensDaughter - playing a devotion Paladin (existing PC)
2. JustinCase - playing a drunken master monk (existing PC)
3. FitzTheRuke - playing a samurai fighter (existingPC)
4. Myself - proposing a Wood Elf Ranger
5. Steve Gorak - proposing a Fey Tome Warlock
6. Mark Chance - nothing proposed as yet

Hope that helps.
