[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 2264320, member: 7006"] Bront, you neededn't worry about "in-party intrigue" affecting things at all. The one thing I've learned playing these PbP games is that there's little if any time to go outside the main plotline to do "background quests" as such. It takes so long for the regular plotline to progress that any sideplots effectively get passed over. So as far as Quiler is concerned... yeah he might be a member of the Serpentine Table, and yeah, he might on occasion in the "background" of your world act as spy for House Phiarlan... however those things will probably never actually get addressed when we get right down to playing your game. They've been included by me purely for an interesting background for my character to have... but during actual gameplay, my elf will probably just end up doing all your standard elf bard activities to help advance the plot. If we were sitting around a table, then yeah maybe some side roleplaying of Quiler's interaction with the House might come up... but in PbP games... you just don't have the time to go off on those tangents. So since you said the Hunters included drangonmarked members of all the houses, and no one else was playing an elf thus far, I decided to create a character that killed two birds with one stone. And the background I created for him was just a good way to justify WHY a dragonmarked elf of House Phiarlan might be a part of the Hunter's. That's all. Thanx! [/QUOTE]
