Online Campaign in the IC forum!

[Mal Malenkirk]

All right, so Mal Malenkirk has recently done a stint in an elite mercenary company serving under the banner of the Black Tower. He left recently, happy with the gold he earned, unhappy with the deeds he comitted. He doesn't intend to sign up with a company ever again. It was a very unpleasant experience.

If it suits your campaign, the circumstances of his resignation from the company can be quite dramatic. Otherwise he just left with no lost love between him and his commander.

He joined up a caravan headed for Seilan. He is traveling as a passenger. He could have earned a free ride if he'd enrolled as a caravan guard, but then he would have been required to take watch duties. It wasn't worth it.

He is going to Seilan because he wants to see his sister again, party long in the night and get a job. In that order.

----------------------------------------

I have set up an online capaign of my own and I hope that you won't mind if I give you this opinion on the player gathering process;

It's a lot easier (and fairer) to simply accept the first 5-6 valid PC submissions that are sent to you instead of counting on those that were promised by posters but didn't come in.

 

[Rhialto]

Which is what I'm doing...don't worry...it's just that those three all had character ideas, but haven't been around lately.

And to answer your question, Sollir, if you send in a character, you're in...

And I knew about the IR...and, hell, the Black Brotherhood can all become Red Goo now...

They served their purpose...

Kaiambus

Kaiambus is heading back into Seilen because of the High Family meeting and the Merchant's Emporium. Although he doesn't really want to renew acquaintances with them and seriously hopes that they'll forget he exists in all the buzz and preparations, he's not stupid enough to not be available for them when they might want him.

Otherwise, he's been out wandering around the outskirts of the city, staying near, but constantly moving from village to village (for the same reasons he's heading back in — out of sight, out of mind may be possible, but out of reach is not an option). In his spare time, he's been visiting shrines of different gods, trying to find one that works for him. No success so far.

He joined the caravan for the speed with which it'll get him back into the city.

Background:

Sirrath is and odd example of his race, having a somewhat morbid sense of humour and enjoying participating in ill fated adventures, confident that his own expertise will allow him to escape. He has worked as a mercanery and hired thief in his youth. Robbing an apprentice wizards house got him his first spellbook. Having a love of riddles and codes his soon decphered a cantrip or two. Seeing the advantages to magical stealth he has been "aquiring" spells ever since and has become a fare illusionist. He heads to Seilen for both the buisness and pleasures to be obtained in the celebratory time of year.

Edit-Corrected Init

 

[Rhialto]

Looks fine. For spells, stick with the PHB...

Nice work from everyone...

We'll be starting very shortly...

 

[Sollir Furryfoot]

Question up top:

What is the physical description of the Alfari race in general? (Average Height/Weight would help too)

 

[Game Control]

The only thing I have that isn't PHB is the Masterwork potion belt from FRCS p.96

It allows to draw a potion as a free action once per round.

That's OK or do I need to change it?
