Deuce Traveler's Campy Ptolus Adventure (Palace of the Silver Princess)

Thorg thinks Renard is nice and fluffy. He will take very good care of Mr. Fluffy.



It sounds like a good way to start. Thorg is a very forgiving sort, especially if you're fluffy. As an all-around nice guy and big, strong brick-type, Thorg would have no problem helping out a group of curious gadflies.

By the way, what should we name the party? Thorg likes Happy Birthday. He loves birthday parties.

[sblock=Personality]With apple in hand, the male halfling Carl has the mischievous smile of a child who did something bad and just got caught. His trade: whatever he is doing at the time & cheesy jokes. His motivation: curiosity & food. His weapon: his wits, maybe a poky thing & food.

Carl can always be found with either food in his pocket, in his hand, or in his mouth. even though his love of food takes up most his time, Carl still finds enough of what time is left to get into trouble and explore his curiosity. With a catalog full of bad cheesy jokes, if his adversaries don't die from laughing, Carl next option usually is running.[/sblock]

[sblock=Background]Carl is the rockstar-like prodigy of 4 generations of halfling entertainers. He can sing, he can dance, he cracks jokes and he can play a mean lick on the lute. After a few nights of entertaining a packed tavern, he met the rest of the group. Hearing of their excitement, adventure and near-rockstar lifestyle, Carl just kind of tagged along. Thorg laughs at his jokes even when he doesn't get them. "Foxy" Ren is the source of some of Carl's wisecracks. Thym resembles Carl's drugged up uncle who makes no sense. Guy dresses well, acts suave, is good at making up stories, likes the ladies and the wine. Guy is so close to livin' the rockstar life; all he needs is an instrument.[/sblock]

And maybe he's heard of the dashing 7th Magician's Regiment? It's a possibility that Renard has seen said regiment's exploits from the shadows (or more likely, overheard Samuel bragging about them)
 

How does Carl know the rest of the group?

Well the rest of the group heard of Carl first (or that is what Carl chooses to think at least). Carl is the rockstar-like prodigy of 4 generations of halfling entertainers. He can sing, he can dance, he cracks jokes and he can play a mean lick on the lute. After a few nights of entertaining a packed tavern, he met the rest of the group. Hearing of their excitement, adventure and near-rockstar lifestyle, Carl just kind of tagged along. Thorg laughs at his jokes even when he doesn't get them. "Foxy" Ren is the source of some of Carl's wisecracks. Thym resembles Carl's drugged up uncle who makes no sense. Guy dresses well, acts suave, is good at making up stories, likes the ladies and the wine. Guy is so close to livin' the rockstar life; all he needs is an instrument.
 

I was wondering if it was too late to jump in one this. I was thinking of doing a typical elven archer with a twist in that he actually get along with other races and tends to joke with them more than remain aloft like most elves (Maybe like a lvl 1 sorc/lvl 3 fighter) I'm going to go ahead and start making him, and see what you think. Hopefully I get picked
 


Hold on, I see Carl on the character list. Do we need to post them there to get a spot in the game, or do we need to wait for an O.K. from Deuce Traveler?
 


Ok, the six that make up the party are:

Thorg the Pious (Half-Orc Cleric 4)
Guy Emile Lecoq de Boisbaudran (Human Swashbuckler 4)
Thym the Exalted (Human Warlock 4)
Renard Rusé De la Capot (Anthropomorphic Fox Ranger 3/Bard 1)
Samuel d'Argent (Human sorcerer 4)
Carl the Cheeky (Halfling Bard 4)

The alts are:
Ivellious' bard and Eydis' rogue

The six main players are free to post on the IC thread. I will post once a day if I have the majority of players' responses, except that on Friday and Saturday nights I will wait for all the players to post before replying since that's usually PbP downtime. Players that consistently fall behind in posting will be removed for an alt, but I will give fair warning ahead of time. If real life gets in the way, let me know so I can either play your character for you for a short time or move your character to the alt list and move an alt to the main party.

The six characters should have a history of adventuring together. The alts will be considered to be from previous parties that ventured into the Palace of the Silver Princess and never returned. This way the alts can be found and rescued inside the 'dungeon', which makes it easier for them to join the party.
