ASAP.
I don't like setting deadlines, but I'ld like to start within a few days or (If that's not feasable for some) next friday at the latest.
We don't even need 100% done stats to start, just mostly done and you can tweak them as we go, I've no problem with minor changes during play to fix choices that, after viewing how the game is running, make little/no sense.

I had just assumed that during the whole ordeal of exile that the processing took place. Like before you actually materialize onto this prison plane, you're held in some limbo-esque processing center.
However, if you're saying "Keep the cloak", I'll keep the cloak.

The Processing Facility is basically a plane all to itself (Well, a Demi Plane actually). It's used by about a hundred different worlds who actively use the "Prison Plane" to dispose of unwanteds. As such, a "Processing Facility" was created as a way of organizing it and making it a little more like an actual prison, less chaotic. Not all worlds are part of this organization, however.
Some dont even know the existance of the Prison plane. Some know of it, but not that it's being used as such in an organized manner (A'LA Owen's world), some don't know what it is, but know how to get there (they just don't know why nobody's ever come back). etc, etc.

I'm sure Jemal will address it further, but it was my understanding that we got an additional "regional" language as well as racial languages. So in lieu of common, we got American or Asian, European, African, etc. So while you might be the only one who speaks Gol-kaa, there might be two or three of us who speak African, and a couple more who speak some other language.

ethandrew - The Human Racial languages were not additional. As I said, any who had 'common' before simply loose it, and HUMANS get to choose 1 of those in its place.
I'd allready forseen (And hoped for) a party where, while most people could communicate, they wouldn't all share one language, and it would take a while for you to all share a common language with each other, some people having to translate for others until you could all 'learn' one language in common... I hadn't considered the "Nobody speaks my language" problem.
For people who ONLY have their racial language, I'm tempted to leave it like that and see how you guys deal with the language barrier, but I'm not sure if the roleplaying coolness would be worth the difficulties it could cause. It would be essentially the same as playing a mute..
I'll have to think about it, I may provide you something to replace it with some sort of bonus/compensation

Ok, cool. I'll have a think too - though I think the simplist way would be for me to use those skill pts from levelling up from 12 to 13 - But I'm reluctant due to the fact I only get 2 per level - which is what a fluent one costs. Another thing - Goliath's have an innate ability to read body language - Maybe we could use sense motive (with a bonus as the other PC's are actually trying to convey a message) to see if I understand. Failure means confusion - Jemal, you could just alter the message (left instead of right, delaying a round/being premature in a planned ambush etc, etc.) How the PC's would understand me is another question - but Valak don't talk much anyhow - yes and no would be easy to learn.
I suppose the simplist thing would be for one of the other PC's to also be from the FR setting?...
The deal with Valak. He's from Forgotten Realms - the folklore for the FR setting is that 1st there were dragons, then the elves revolted and overthrew them. The elves then went on one hell of a crusade to populate faerun. Humans are meant to originate form earth - brought through portals by the elves. As far as I know - that's pretty much canon.
So Valak died (details later) and was risen as a deathknight by some demon or another. His soul will belong to the demon if he dies. To prevent this Valak has been looking for those portals. After searching far and wide for a century or two he overhears something about a book (goes on to pay 100gp for info on it's whereabouts), then sets off to get the book.
The book is full of information regarding the location of one such portal, a time-table of dimension openings and other known facts about earth - maybe even some history.
Anyways - his main goal is not escaping. He has basically imprisoned himself to save his soul. He needs to find the secrets of earth - his demented images of glory may even be of becoing the ruler/warden himself - in order for him to summon said demon (in an area where summoning is possible), draw him out and slay him where he will die, opposed to being banished back to whatever hell he came from.
(BTW - any ideas for both Deity (although not ness) & Demon would be welcome, as well as any plot ideas; I'm struggling with his 'Life'. I thought that he could have been exhiled at birth because the markings on his skin spelled 'Tainted One' or something to that effect. His adoption/slavery to humans gave him the traits of greed and lust for power; while not going out of his way to hurt others, he would do whatever was required to furbish his growing desires. Such obsticles were easy to accomplish - his trick, staying aloof. Watching, waiting, not in a stalking manner, but when the opportunity presented itself he would take it. e.g. went on to career in dungeoneering - killing fellow PC's discreetly for magic items etc. He then goes on to consort with 'The Demon' - then dies! )
