Hey guys! Nice to read all of you! ;-)
I'm actually involved in 3 mid-level games, so I wouldn't be helping anyone by committing to this one.
Please feel free to go ahead without me.
Cheers,

No worries, [MENTION=15132]Steve Gorak[/MENTION], hope your games survived the crash intact!
So that brings us to 4 players ( [MENTION=93196]Axel[/MENTION]'s cat witcher Kynee, [MENTION=4936]Shayuri[/MENTION]'s storm sorceress Talashia, [MENTION=8058]Queenie[/MENTION] 's elder blood / wise sorceress Elora, and [MENTION=2820]Fenris[/MENTION]' griffin witcher Fergus).
Are you all comfortable running with just the four of you? If so, that makes it a bit more of an intimate game, so if there's anything in particular you'd like to include in the game (whether thematically or from the Witcher franchise), let me know!
IIRC we had one person on waitlist; so it's worth checking do you want to open the game up to more or keep it at just the 4 of you for now?

I'm fine with the four of us, though we will be hurting for healing.
Recruiting would be fine too!
I'm with Shay, honestly good either way. The more the merrier but if it's easier with the smaller group I'm good with that too.
And true about the healing. I'm sure our creative DM will figure that part out though

I am pretty sure we have had this conversation before. But seeing as fate has intervened to remove all evidence of it, I take that as a sign.
If you are looking to bring the numbers back up to five, I'm interested. I am happy to ghost SG's character. Alternatively, I have a L2 Rogue/cleric wood elf made homeless by the last datawipe. As writen she is Small vice Medium size. But happy to re-work the character as required. Other than that, I think that she is pretty conventional. Details below.
[sblock=Rael]RAEL - A diminutive Caerlonnian Fae Spirit Warrior
Description
Rael stands a towering 3'8" and weights in at mighty 63 lbs. A wolf fur jerkin covers loose linen tunic and woollen kilt the colour of wet moss. His long dark hair is tied back with a collection of rags and leather strips. A pair of startlingly blue eyes peer out from a featureless white mask. Across her back is slung a hunting bow and suspended an a leather strap across her chest is a ancient Republican short sword.
Background
Rael's tribe hails from the forest covered northern mountains of Caerlonnia home. The tribe is small, both in number and individual stature. They are semi-nomadic, moving lightly across the landscape, weaving their homes into the fabric of the forest before moving on after a decade or so. They generally keep to themselves only occasionally interacting with the humans of the region, most notably the druids, with whom they have ties that go back generations.
Like all members of the tribe, Rael was taught how to fight and how to survive in the wilderness from a young age. Beyond that, there was not a lot of supervision as is traditional in the tribe. Rael ran wild as was expected of the young, fighting and exploring with the other children. As he approached young adulthood, he was taken under the guidance of a spirit warrior and taught how to draw on the energy that runs through every living being. Rael learnt to how to heal and to hurt. He learnt how to draw of the power to protect himself and gain insight or guidance.
Rael's encounter with the nameless thing in the forest was both the making of her a local hero, and part of the reason for her eventual departure from her home land and tribe. The tales told sat uneasily with her own recollection, of blood and screaming terror, of the event. But is was the lack of any satisfactory answers to her questions that ultimately lead her to set of for the wider world. The people of Gaeloheim were reputed to be great monster hunters. So after passing out of childhood, Rael decides to find answers of her own. Towards Gaeloheim she set her feet.

Ok, I'll open it up for 1 or 2 more.
[MENTION=6801450]Trogdor1992[/MENTION] you expressed interest earlier! Would you still like to join our Witcher game?
[MENTION=8243]doghead[/MENTION] Your character could potentially work... There's a lot of story that ties into the Witcher setting in this game, so we'd need to adjust the background stuff. For example, "fae spirit warrior" doesn't quite fit in the Witcher world, but a Free Elf of the Blue Mountains refusing to bow to Nilfgaard and barely a member of the elf Queen's court would work nicely.

Cool. I think I can work with that. I will try and get a reworked background and the L3 version of the character up by the end of the weekend. I was planning on taking a second level of cleric, which should help with the party healing side of things.
