Thanks [MENTION=6746242]mips42[/MENTION]. I might do that - there's precious little to go on with Ivan. :-/ No background or much of a personality. Or motivators. I was regretting my decision to take him on.

How would you do it? DM fiat substitution? Or at a pending long rest?

Personal preference would be to build a ranger. Dwarven underground specialist and budding professional treasure hunter sounds like it could suit the campaign.

Most likely I would have your and the other new character be on the road to/from or in Phandelver itself someplace. That would be the easiest.

 

[Axel]

I can do that. Expect one on Weds night then (about 2.5 days from this post).

A Dwarven ranger called Brlo it is - cousin of Vottr by marriage, for the tie-in (Brlo's mother's brother married Vottr's father's sister). How's that for confusing lineage? Close enough to count for something (to dwarves). Distant enough that they can be separate people.

Is starting equipment by "book standard" with a point buy stat array?

I finished Castagyr's background so it should fit the inject into the game that you have in mind, mips42. He probably needs a plothook to put him on the exact road to be in position to meet the existing party and have a goal similar to theirs, yet.

Sooo...we have two more players waiting for long rest...we have:
Ivan slightly wounded, inactive
Eddicus, wounded, out of spells, active
Vottr, down, active? [MENTION=53915]GameDoc[/MENTION]?
Garret, wounded, active
Leonan, slightly wounded, active, one more 1st level spell

I was about to attack and count on goblins to help, it seems right thing to do given the hints about Yeemik not being happy with Klarg and the chance that withdrawal will be seen as weakness...but I'd like to have other players sooner rather then later...conundrum...

Full IC post later today (in about 6-8 hours)

Brlo Ungaet is up in the RG. Something of a Dwarven hippy entrepreneur.

An easy tie-in to the region, Vottr and Castagyr. Happy to change things up as necessary

Of note: I swapped the long bow a ranger gets with a heavy crossbow. I can switch it back easily (and call it a Dwarven "repeating crossbow" that just so happens to have the same stats as a longbow).

Otherwise, he's a by-the-book level 1 Hill Dwarf Ranger.

Brlo (burlow(pronunciation?) looks okay at first glace as does castagyr. I've give them another look when I'm more awake.

 

[Axel]

Thanks [MENTION=6746242]mips42[/MENTION]. Looking forward to it.

If you want to Anglicise his name, yes, you can imagine Brlo pronounced as Burrlow. I prefer to think of it with a hard "b" follows by a rolled "r" like, like a central European language.

Perrinmiller, you didnt specify a diety for Castagyr....

Brlo [sblock] Brlo, it is with some surprise that you hear of your relative, Gundren Rockseeker, sending out mining equipment to the town of Phandelver. You know Gundren and he's no the type to spend money if he's not sure he'll at lest break even. Even more surprising is the revelation that he's going himself. He's always been more of a general than a front line dwarf. Maybe he's found something...[/sblock]
Castagyr[sblock], youve heard of some trouble with ruffians, goblins and people going missing in the areas surrounding the Triboar trail and also the town of Phandelver. Even worse, you've heard rumors of someone calling themselves 'Spider' or 'Black spider' and causing trouble in the area. Somehow, you feel this may be important.[/sblock]
