Esraethan gestures minutely with his head towards the sign on the wall which reads: "VETERANS OF WAR WANTED! Count Callidus Princeps of the 29th Legion is looking for heroes of countless battles to aid in his campaign into new land all spoils belonging to the victor and the rightful...

"I see. I have signed up for a campaign which should be beginning shortly. Perhaps there is still time to sign up. If not, I'm afraid I don't have much that i can offer. Although I suppose I could pick up your next drink." Esraethan signals the barkeeper to bring another round.

Esraethan slides into a seat across from Astheone, placing his wine glass on the table between them. "Well met, Astheone. My name is Esraethan. What brings you here today?" All of this is said in a quiet voice, more out of habit than any insecurity brought on by the deniens of the inn.

Esraethan's interest is peaked by seeing another tiefling enter the bar. He tries to make eye-contact with the newcomer, tilting his head in one of the subtle gestures that tieflings have developed over years of persecution. This gesture asks the other if he wishes company or to be alone.

"My thanks, Kamotz! I wish you well in your search for restless dead to return to their slumber." Esraethan returns to his wine. He appears a little nervous at the impending war, but covers it well.

Esraethan pauses to wipe the wine from the front of his robe. He rubs at his sore back where the shield knocked him onto the bartop and glares at the newcomer. Fighting back his anger, he clearly moderates himself before saying "I am not aware of any dead men walking around here. Perhaps we...

I am also fine with being out-gunned. This will be my first time to try 4e, and I am looking forward to it!

Esraethan steps forward after a moment's hesitation and signs his name. "I would have a hard time passing up an opportunity to improve my skills and my equipment. And perhaps I will find some clues to the identity and whereabouts of my mother's killer." I'm playing a level 1 tiefling warlock...

No worries! I take it as in character rather than personal. Although I did think you were gathering a group to DM... :) Esraethan rocks back on his heels. "Very well, friend. Perhaps when you have time, you will come back and try to gather companions to help you with the problem you...

I would be interested if the lower-level option opens. I am a brand-new, still squeaks when he moves too fast PC. "Siveris, is your focus on our mission, or on joining this war? Your actions and your words are creating confusion."

"I am sorry for the dissolution of your marriage. And forgive me for not knowing the news from a year ago- I have but recently arrived here, and know not the lay of the land." Esraethan turns to survey the rest of the room, trying to guage how the others have taken this story and job offer...

"Please, can you tell me more of these disappearances? I would certainly like to help you if I can..." I have a passive insight of 16, but can't find the site's dice-roller to see if I can determine the DC 20 check... Any help would be appreciated! "But if we can find the right people to...

"I am, as you say, a student of the mystic arts, friend Siveris. Also, I am an adventurer. My quest is to find and eliminate those who slew my mother. But until such time as I can complete that quest, I am interested in exploring, learning, and acquiring- in roughly that order." Esraethan...

As the door opens, Esraethan's hand reflexively dives into a pocket inside his cloak. The more perceptive in the room noticed that it was not his dagger, but something else that he sought. As it became clear that the newcomer wasn't a threat, Esraethan turns to him- after giving him a chance...

I may look at the Essentials books, but I'm not looking to sink hundreds of dollars into 4e. (Sorry, WotC!) I got this group to move from edition 2 to 3.5- who knows, they might make the leap! :)

No, I understand it's their move AND their standard action for the round. But it still gives them twice as many options per power than other classes. I bought the main 3 books when they were published in 08, so haven't re-purchased them as the Essentials books. I've picked up the PHB2...

LOL. Certainly not a requirement on the internet. However, I make it a *personal* rule to try to contribute from experience, with intelligence, and urbanity to any conversation I am part of. Maybe that's just cuz I'm old :P

Thank you all for the replies! I will admit, I was starting to despair, having finally found some interest in 4e. But reading these responses gives me the hope to continue looking for a game to play in (PbP or IRL). Who knows, maybe one day I'll know enough about 4e to intelligently join...

I've been playing various incarnations of D+D since 1980, and have recently gotten into the 4e game (thanks, Critical Hit podcast!) I have the PHB, DMG, and MM. I have flipped through most of the classes in the PHB, and was looking at the PHB3 last week. It looks to me like the charater...

"My thanks for your friendship, and your story. Please, let me buy you a drink!" Esraethan places a coin on the bar, and settles back, much more at ease than when he first walked through the door.
