The Tanglewebs
Tolbat Tangleweb owns a moderately-sized farm in the ‘suburbs’ of Amblestock. It was originally purchased by his parents when they arrived in the area some 50 years ago, and he has invested a great deal of his life into making it successful. He cherishes the dream of one day passing down to his son, Tirrin, the golden fruits (and vegetables) of his labors. Tolbat is also an avid sportsman who takes delight in organizing various outdoor group activities, especially for the local youth. And he loves to spend time in the Silver Horn Tavern swapping tall tales and drinking taller ales. His partiality to this beverage may have something to do with…
Brighteyn Tangleweb, who is by birth a Greenbottle, though somewhat removed from the main branch of the family tree. She and Tolbat were childhood sweethearts. Then, after growing up, they found that it was even more fun to be adulthood sweethearts - which they have remained ever since. Brighteyn keeps herself busy by acting as midwife and general babysitter for those who need her services. Almost every child in Amblestock and vicinity under the age of 25 was delivered by her hands. She has dancing eyes, a gentle smile, and the steadiness to be of real help in time of trouble. Though well-loved in the community there are none who care for her more than her husband, daughter, and…
Tirrin Tangleweb. Five years older than his sister, he has already married a Halfling lass from the far side of Wilearc Lake. He lives in a small cottage near his parents and has taken over most of the heavy labor involved in their farm’s upkeep. Tirrin is a more serious man than Tolbat; some of this gravity may stem from the fact that after three years, he and his wife have still been unable to start the family which they want so dearly. But he still enjoys the occasional uproarious evening at the Silver Horn after a hard day’s work.

Character-Player List

-------------------------
I have to say, choosing characters was really hard. I based it off of character development, the story I have in mind, contribution to the whole, and balance. Although you are without a cleric at the moment, Kwinn didn't seem fully fleshed out compared to some of the other characters.
I may end up starting a second party and open recruitment again, but that will be after the new server is all good and such things. I really would like to involve the three characters that didn't make it in this game and will give you all priority once I get to it. For now, the characters will still be part of the Amblestock village in case someone drops out which happens once in a while.
You can e-mail me at ferrix (at) gmail (dot) com if you want to give more input on the village of Amblestock, etc. or to comment in any way.

Adventurer
Jerran steps up to the microphone, clutching his little golden statuette of Lidda.
"I'd like to thank Yondala and Ferrix for making this all possible, and I'd like to thank my mom and my dad, and my brother Milo. . .*SOB*. . . I promised myself I wasn't going to cry. But mostly I'd like to thank all the little people (my god, what a horrible pun) that I had to step on to get here today!"
umm. . . on a more serious note. Sorry to all those who didn't get in, but good luck in any future halfling ventures, and I guess I'll be seeing you all lounging around the village while were off adventuring our butts off.

This game did have the unfortunate timing of starting at the same time as my own and I didn't get to devote time to building ole Kwinn up. I had really wanted to do this adventure (as I love halfers so much) but getting my RP thread up was my top priority. (Which I did LATE last night... I did my statblock this evening and then noticed the character list 
) In the back of my head (when I was at work and thinking about it, but with no access to the net to do anything about it) I had hoped that Ferrix would factor in my participation into the equation based on the game we have together... but honestly, I applaud him "sticking to his guns" so to speak and going without a cleric
Good luck to you all.

Sorry to those players that are left out. Hopefully Ferrix will be able to create a second party for the rest of ya. I may be trimming down the number of games I am in as work has piled some new responsabilities on me, but this is a game I am going to be sticking with.

Setting Questions
Ferrix,
Are there any other Halfling communities in the area?
Is Amblestock part of a larger country/kingdom/state? Like The Shire or The Tremblehorn Valley?
Is this setting entirely your own creation or part of an existing world?
Just a few questions that will help me write more background stuff.
Thanks,
Slip
