[AU] Siege on Ebonring Keep - OOC

[Liminal Syzygy]

Yeah, congrats Mirth! And I like your names a lot, as well as yours Erekose... But I really wouldn't expect less from veteran role-players who understand the importance of names.

Just as not to be left out, my daughter's name is Maya Haruna Riley. Kind of imbalanced as I have to fit two languages in there, but I really like 'Maya', which is Japanese, Indian, Greek, and Spanish. I did all kinds of research on it before settling on it. Imagine my surprise to be watching Six Feet Under about a year after my daughter was born and hear some of that research spit back at me. Of course they didn't mention it's also Japanese.

Oh and yes let's welcome Gideon. Who should go after the Lion? Player of his character's boon companion (me) or the DM (Rybaer)?

 

[Mirth]

Aiden is nice.

We actually thought about Maia (with an i) for a daughter, but Maia Myers sounded weird, although if we have a son named Magnus (my great-grandfather's name, btw, how cool is that?!) we would shorten it to Max, so apparently Max Myers sounds okay to us. Go figure.

My wife also suggested Oscar before I reminded her that Oscar Myers wouldn't fly well at all.

And just so you know Rohan is the first name of a friend of the family and not from Tolkien. My wife was pregnant with him when we went to see Fellowship of the Ring and ROHAN flashed up on the map in big letters. My wife looked at me with big eyes and said, "Did you know?" I realized that I hadn't put two and two together until that point and said, "Yeah, but I didn't think about it. Wow." She smiled and said, "Pretty big sign that we're having a boy, huh?" And we did.

Cordo, nice name, that is what we picked for a girl. Maya Erin, largely because of our experiences over there.

Frankly, I'm indifferent as to whether KJL comes back. When he parted ways, I made it clear to him that his character was going to be able to come back if/when he wished to return. Basically, I wanted the impetus to come from him. Now, if one of you would like to track him down and try to encourage him back into the group, I'm perfectly okay with that too.

Gideon - I saw the character in the RG thread. Looks good. I think the hit points were handled as max at first level, then half hit die + 1 for additional levels. So, 15 total in your case. And thank you for building your backstory around the plot lines.

I'll need a few days to take stock of what I have planned and then figure out how best to work you into the story. I'm sure the other players will be very accomodating (hint, hint ). It'll probably be Monday or so before I get you into the story.

Foot in mouth

Hmm...Good thing I walked right in and stuck my big hairy litorian foot in my mouth. Always a good start to entering into the party. DOH!

 

[Liminal Syzygy]

OOC: Sorry for my delay in responding. Work has been really busy.

Gideon I think we should run with this. It's an interesting dynamic and is more interesting than everyone being bestest buddies. Pyior should eventually come around.

 

[Rybaer]

No problem. I haven't had the posting time lately that I'd like either.

I like the personality dynamics happening so far, just so long as they don't make my job too difficult. I trust y'all can keep it moving.

 

[Gideon]

I just took my last level of Litorian and I was looking ahead to next level and I was thinking about Totem warrior. I want Ritsar to be a hunter and I think his connection to the spirit world would also be fuelled by his reponsibility to Charon (his former companion and green bond) but I am not sure what animal to base that on. I don't like the ones presented as the wolf is not quite right. Is there a 'cat' Totem that has been published somewhere or a different animal that you think would work correctly? Thanks in advance.

 

[Erekose13]

If Rybaer is open to it there is a Panther Totem Warrior over on Diamondthrone.com - Link. Other than that Bear, Wolf, or Wolverine make good strong characters. Unfettered may also work. Depending on when we make it to 4th level there is some other options coming in AE.
