[OOC] A Little Night Music

[Old Fezziwig]

rangerjohn: That's fine. I was just throwing out suggestions. As to size, I'm not sure how big you've imagined it, but it's got a population of about 17,000 give or take. Do with that what you will (mind you, your picture of the temple of Heironeous works for me, so we're really getting into scale here).

Best,
Nick

Just realizing that I had not included said important things in Hemdoch's background, here they are:

People - His brother Mallod Cliffbinder, and Skhalo Farbranded,the Priest of Heironeous in his hometown of Rockshadow.

Places - Rockshadow, his hometown, and the Grey Scars, a nearby set of broken cliffs in the Chasm that Hemdoch finds relaxing to walk and climb through

Item - One of the only brave things that Hemdoch has done in his life was to kill a large rock-dwelling lizard that surpirised his one of his outings. He managed to slay it with his quarterstaff and limp back to the villiage. Upon learning of the slaying, his father made him lead him to the lizard's corpse, and they feasted on it that evening. His father presented him with a belt and pouch a few weeks later, made with the vertebrae and cured hide of the lizard, and Hemdoch values it above all of his other possesions.

I'll add these to his background when I post him to the Rogues Gallery, which I will do sometime tomorrow.

Well, between the what you have said here and in the other game, it sounded like this would be the major temple. Unless that would be with the hobgoblins. I'm really not to sure how much the hobgoblins are intergrated into society. Obviously, they serve a vital role as protectors, but how much is that appreciated by the society at large?

johnsemlak: If you could, I'd like to have those five things done up for Roland as well.

Working on it

 

[johnsemlak]

tKL, I added those bits you wanted to my char background. Does it look OK (see my post at your Rogue's Gallary thread)?

 

[Old Fezziwig]

heliopolix: Thanks. That all looks fine.

johnsemlak: I'll check it out a bit later tonight. My RL group meets shortly, and I should eat some dinner.

rangerjohn: I can answer the hobgoblin questions later tonight, too, but I should remark now that the information present in the other game isn't canon for this game. There's a lot of stuff in that version of this world that isn't in this one (halflings, half-orcs, and gnomes, for starters). I like to think of them as similar, but different.

Best,
Nick

I've just posted Aston's character sheet (now including item, people and places of importance) to the Rogue's Gallery thread.

Got some bad news KL. Family problems have arisen so I will be away for 2 weeks. I will probably have to drop my character, so feel free to allow the second alternate to take the Divine Caster. Sorry about the lateness of this post, but Im typing it on my way out the door, so to speak. Best of luck!

 

[Old Fezziwig]

heliopolix: Thanks for letting me know. I hope all is well.

rangerjohn and johnsemlak: I'll have answers for both of you in a short while. I had to work Sunday and MLK day, which meant I had to study when I wasn't working, which, in turn, meant that I couldn't get to this sooner.

best,
Nick

rangerjohn: They aren't necessarily too interwoven with society at large (if you mean elven society). They are critical as a buffer between the Empire and the creatures in the Broken Lands north of Caerrhen. As far as relations with other races, the elves respect them, as do the canis and humans. Dwarves are pretty indifferent to the hobgoblins, the result of ancient territorial conflicts that predate the rise of the elves and humans.

johnsemlak: Looks good. Thanks.

best,
Nick
