Malvoisin's Savage Tide OOC Thread *Resurrected*

That's a good idea.

I'm hoping that I haven't created an insurmountably difficult obstacle in asking prospective players to familiarize themselves with the game. I'm a little surprised that there hasn't been much response to my call for a replacement. :\
Don't know, but I understand the reluctance.

Something that I have seen in the past is to use a new thread for recruitment instead of having it in the main OOC thread. Less to read. Seems to work okay.

Well, it's not about the size of the OOC thread, it's the size of the IC thread. I assume the entire OOC thread isn't all that important, but if I'm expected to come up with a hook to join the party, I need to know a) where the party is when I meet them (and, probably, immediately before), b) where the party is headed when I meet them, and c) the goals of the party.
 

Jdvn1, I will work on a summary which will hopefully allow you to get up to speed without a massive time commitment.

In the meantime, what can you offer me as far as character details? Not so much the background/integration right now, but what did you have in mind as far as race, class, appearance, personality, etc.?
 

Short summary:

Noble lady's parents die. She inherits, but lots of stuff tied up in various places and family has debts. She has another party doing some unknown stuff for her. She hires our party to recover her property from a boat held by a captain/smuggler trying to steal her stuff. We do so including her family magic key ring. We then accompany her to family vault and use key ring to find that lots of the family treasure was stolen by her ne'r do well brother who is teaming up with pirates. Also find cryptic note. We go after the brother but get trapped in cursed pirate isle underground area filled with undead pirates betrayed by brother. We are just now escaping.

Party is a bunch of essentially goodhearted rogues, crackpots, and oddballs, with an emphasis on magic and light armor concepts.

New PC could be one of the lady's minions (longtime or newly recruited) or a friend of one of the PCs for easy integration into the party.

Chongo is the only one with rope on his sheet, and his says it is in his chest, not carried.
Wow. I'd be willing to fudge this and allow it to be carried by Chongo, if you guys want.

Then again, if there is a more creative solution, even better. :)

Thanks for that summary, Voadam. It occurred to me that the first posts of the RG thread, and the OOC thread, respectively, are also good place to see concentrated pictures of what has happened so far.

For what it's worth, I think I'd lean more toward having the new character be a friend/acquaintance of someone currently in the party. I think the 'minion of Lavinia' thing has been done enough.

Hey, I just remembered...wasn't there a room down here in the tunnels with some basic supplies, like rope?

Never mind, post 571 page 15. There was a rope down, Vanthus cut it.
 

Wow. We are a lightly geared bunch.

NEW RECRUITING REQUIREMENTS:

Must have sufficient strength to carry 100' of silk rope at all times. Funds for the rope will be provided.
