So what is Riverwind supposed to do twiddle his thumbs?

He could do what he did in the books. Take a sword of a fallen foe, borrow some from Tanis, or Caramon.

 

[rangerjohn]

So I guess he hangs back during the first battle, since the only thing mentioned earlier was Tanis giving him clothes. I don't think it would to wise to enter combat with no weapons or armor. Attack of oppurtinity everytime you attack that will probably hit.

 

[GruTheWanderer]

In both the modules and the books, Riverwind and Goldmoon are not present at the start of the story. First the six friends have a reunion, some combat, and set forth. Then the two plainsmen arrive on the scene.

I believe the story of them getting driven out of the tribe was just in the novels. That does not have to be the motivation of those two characters in this game, nor will I require Riverwind to go without weapons if the person playing him objects.

I don't think Riverwind has to twiddle his thumbs.

In the first fight, with draconian "clerics" on the road, he uses a sword and a bow, so he obviously has weapons. (in the novels)

Only when he looses his sword to a baaz, Tanis gives him a dagger.

Umm, Tanis gave him a dagger when they encountered those Pseudo priests who said the staff was theirs, and I believe he took one of the swords from the goblins Caramon killed in Tika's house.

[,,,] and I believe he took one of the swords from the goblins Caramon killed in Tika's house.

This is not mentioned in the novels, so I think, he might have his own sword, since he also has his bow later on.

I don't have my copy of the books here at school So I might be misremembering please correct me if I am because I want to be straight with my own memories.

I thought that Tanis, Flint and Tas meet up, have a bit of fun with the gaurds Toede leaves to search them, and then go to the Inn? Once they hit the Inn they meet the others except Sturm, who comes it a little later leading the 2 lost plainsman. Goldmoon sings about the gods, Hedrick goes postal, burns himself and is healed. Then they escape from the gaurds by going outt he kitchen. And the rest is hisory.

That brings me to a question, What is Goldmoon stated as? I mean she isn't a Cleric at the beginning, I think she would be a Barbarian 5, then once they found the amulet at the statue she became a cleric.

 

[Douane]

Goldmoon is a 5th lvl cleric who can't use any clerical spells, until she finds "knowledge of the true gods".

 

[rangerjohn]

She's stated as a cleric w/o spells untill the statue incident. Which means in this case no domains.
