Beneath the Ice! Eberron Dungeon Crawl {Full}

[nonamazing]

Well, I'd say that the game has gotten off to a pretty good start, and I hope everyone is enjoying it so far. Although I've done gaming for a while, I'm still pretty new to the PbP thing, so feel free to tell me if I'm not doing things right. Am I going too slow? Too fast? Writing too much? Please give me any feedback/criticism/suggestions you might have.

One of my ulterior motives for starting up this game was to have an opportunity to exercise my writing skills, which have grown somewhat rusty. Bear with me as my writing comes into form--I know at the moment I have a tendancy to be a bit wordy, and to favor long, semi-run-on sentences. I assure you that I'm at least a somewhat better writer than what you're seeing at the moment--I'm long out of practice and my writer powers have grown weak.

This may just be my experiance, and it doesn't matter to me it actually helps to keep the pace up I've discovered, but I was a little uncomfortable at first with the liberties you were taking with some of the (okay, so maybe just mine) characters. I understand why you did it, and I see that it worked. But, I've always been over-paranoid, and I wanted to point out my concerns before it potentially got a out of hand.

Other than that, spot on man. Great descriptions and scenarios, from what I've seen so far. keep up the good work, as it were.

I'm enjoying it! I don't mind the writing it makes the adventure breathe and 'live', so to speak.

Thank you for your words of encouragement, both of you. Sorrow, I apologize for dictating your character's actions without your input--I'll do my very best to make sure that doesn't sure that doesn't happen again.

Ferrix, your character will be introduced into the story soon. Do you have a background and stuff set up, or did I miss it somewhere? Anyway, just making sure you're ready!

I found a picture of Rigel in my collection of pictures and I thought I'd share.

Teaser for Floe, this is her description and personality write-ups.

Slender navy braids adorned with rimefire beads fall past a face unblemished by time. Girlish features. Golden eyes stark against an arctic blue tone of skin. A mother pearl strung amongst many stands out on her neck. Dark brown and simply cut with a V, her shirt dips between petite breasts covered by the shimmer of blue-ice chainlinks, long sleeves of lighter brown cover her arms. A thick white leather belt hold tight a pair of belled leather pants cuffed with fur over which falls a suede skirt to just above the knee. Hidden beneath the bells of the pants rise a pair of calf-high moccasins. A rimefire cudgel, its head carved like a dragons claw clenching an orb, swings from a loop at her left hip. Two bone shafts juts over her left shoulder, the two halves of a longspear carved from whalebone. A circular shield of semi-translucent blue-ice is affixed over a small many-pocketed haversack which sits snug between her shoulder blades.

Floe is a creature of silent warmth in the brazen winds of the north. Her forte is listening: to the winds, ice, animals, tribes, dwarves. Many take her girlish features as a literal translation upon her personality, however few who spend much time with her consider her anything less but experienced in the ways of the frozen peaks and windswept tundras. A child?s playfulness and justice mark her deeds. Her dedications are unhurried and reflective. Spirited like a snowball fight amongst friends.

I can only imagine what it would have been like for the stowaways on that voyage...

Working on my background as I type

Couple questions

Were those spoilers supposed to have anything in them?

Do I start with the reduced amount of gold 7,500 rather than 9,000 as I didn't get any of that extra equipment provided by the expedition?

Background done... Floe completed and updated in RG.
