Doghead, did you get my mail / pm sent to you? Was hoping to get those last questions answered and get the oracle into the rogues gallery.

No, I haven't received anything in either my email or ENWorld inbox.

My email is {my enworld login}206 plus the at sign plus netscape then the little dot thing then net.

Ok, email sent. I will have Eban, the Dual Cursed Oracle in the rogues gallery shortly.

Right, finally got the internet to work properly... Two paragraphs added on "recent history":

Cut loose from the biggest part of his life Bayar went to seek one of his favourite girls, whom he met 2 years ago while billetted in a small Duchy. She was the miller's daughter - Bayar took a position as labourer in a quarry to be close to her. Sadly it was not to be and, after 6 months of stable and civilized life Bayar was bored. Ultimately he wound up in a drunken fight. Blades were drawn, and people got hurt.

Ready to leave before dawn the next day, Bayar was summoned to attend the Chancellor's Marshall. Fearing the worst, he donned his old armour and prepared to go out with dignity. What he didn't expect was a job offer...

Impressions of the other characters being PM'd shortly.

I see Bayar's role as the Marshall's unofficial headkicker. If a standover man or general heavy is needed that can't easily be connected back to the household, Bayar's in business.

Electric Wizard: I live in Western Australia. Odds are we're on the same timezone... I'll also do things that seem odd to the North Americans, like spelling words properly (seriously it's armoUr!).

Ha! I knew we had it wrong here!!!

I found the lost emails - they had marked as Spam due to the way they are sent from ENWorld. Now sorted.

Nice background addition. A lovely double edged blade, I might say. Such reprieves from justice don't come without a cost. In Bayer's case, it would be an obligation of service. Bayer, in other words, is in the Chancellor's debt.

A couple of thoughts from this end (and this is mostly me just thinking out loud as I get my own thoughts straight).

The Chancellor in his official capacity would have access to the Baron's Marshall and his heavies for any Baronial head-kicking. That been said, the Chancellor would have need of his own muscle at times. Politics can be a rough game at times. And the Chancellor is a man of independent thought, and action. There are times when he wishes to undertake activities for the Baron, but without the Baron necessarily being aware of them. Having his own people is a must for this.

While the Chancellor is a subtle man who prefers subtle plans, he is too smart to leave a tool as useful as violence, or the threat of it, out of his toolbox. And of course, there is always the need to be prepared to respond to the actions of others who might favour the more simple solutions.

So in short, nice. Works fine.

Subtle differences noted. Bayar is then the Chancellor's man, not the Baron's or the Marshall's. Am holding off an IC post until the rogue's gallery is full up.

Well summarised. The Chancellor does have a marshall of his own household who would be generally Bayer's supervisor. Perhaps I should call the Chancellor's marshall his Porter instead of Marshall, an innocuous title hiding a raft of useful talents.

Once your character is up in the RG, crack on in the IC thread. Inevitably, someone is going to get run over by RealLife(TM) and delayed in getting their character up. I'd like to try and keep the momentum going.
