stonegod's Expedition to Castle Ravenloft: Ch. I [OOC]

[stonegod]

Okay folks, the climatic church battle is complete!

As you all determine your next course of action, please think once again on any feedback you have for potential new recruits. I will be putting out the calls starting Wednesday. Any other feedback (as in my above post) also welcome, either here or via email.

 

[DEFCON 1]

How many / who are we replacing? Kralin's character is dead but that doesn't mean he doesn't still want to play with just another character (although his posting had been spotty even to that point). Are we also replacing Isida? This is the second time she's disappeared for a protracted amount of time. And GwydapLlew's been offline for almost two months and perhaps a new player might better fill the slot (although I still don't have a problem rping both Khensu and Jarrith at the same time if we wanted to keep the character active in hopes that Gwyd comes back).

As far as characters themselves... keeping Khensu or a similar tank is a necessity. I also think we could still use a full-on cleric/favored soul. With Janis as our priimary caster, I don't think replacing Isida with a similar character (mage,sorc,warlock) is necessary or perhaps even wanted.

I will say that I do know Enforcer applied both times you requested characters, and it was with a fighter both times. He might be a good option both as player and as character (even if he might need to adjust his fighter's concept a bit since I seem to recall it not fitting into the setting terribly well). Just a thought.

At this juncture, my plan is to put out a call for up-to three replacements, though I plan really for two. Roles would be:
- Tankish-type person
- Restorative magic-type person
- Whatevah
Like last time, I will have "folks who are already around" list as preferred (Urik will be one of them) replacements; I am tempted to have the existing characters as some of them but I have not made up my mind yet.

I will put out one final email to Isida, GL, and Kralin giving them the opportunity to re-apply in the recruitment thread. I know Kralin has been around (though he has not checked in), and I know from another thread elsewhere that GL started a new job recently and was (part of) the reason he has not returned. I'll give them the opportunity to do so.

This time will be also be the opportune moment for any character swap outs; thus, James, if you want to think about a different character, that will be your opportunity. I like Janis, but she's your character and thus you should have fun w/ whatever you play.

 

[Stormwind]

I think a full divine caster, or something of the sort would be one good choice. As far as the other one or two roles, I'm not really concerned. I would like to see both Khensu and Urik stick around as well.

New recruitment thread.. Any feedback for new PCs should go there. Thanks!

 

[stonegod]

I updated the RG thread with XP and treasure awards for the clearing out of the church.

I am going on travel starting tonight, so expect slower responses until Monday. Feel free to discuss how you all will deal with the Church battle aftermath IC.

Fixed the link to the new recruitment thread.

Just how much leeway do I have for fiddling with Janis? Could I change her class or class levels for instance?
