I think the other game's progressing at a pace where I could probably do a second PBP (assuming the woods and the town plots aren't planned to intersect, that is). If you like the concept, I'll stat it up:
Liev Sibin, Chaotic Neutral (or Chaotic Good?) Human Sorcerer 1
Liev is a wild child. Orphaned early, Liev took to the woods, intending to eke out an existence with the woodcraft he'd learned from his parents.
There Liev discovered two important things. First, travelers could be amazingly superstitious when they were off the trail and under the canopy. They jumped at little things, sometimes packing up and running off in the middle of the night rather than face whatever rustling and noises they encountered in the woods.
And in their hurry, they had a tendency to forget things.
One of those things was a book about magics, from which Liev learned the second important thing: he had an innate gift for the arcane. It was an odd thing at first, expressing itself as random displays of light or sound. But when he learned to control it, well ... let's just say the abilities went a nice way to helping him take advantage of that aforementioned superstition.
He's grown to be something of a local legend, a spook haunting the forest, responsible for unexpected bursts of cold or spontaneous combustion. And, as overfed merchants and self-important minor nobles run at the odd sight, Liev finds he's made a comfortable little niche living for himself.

Cool. Cross-referencing should be amusing. I can talk smack about myself.
Posted Liev to the Rogue's gallery. His trickster concept might seem at odds with the number of combat spells in his known list, but I figure
1) He learned his spells from stolen materials (he prefers the term "abandoned," but let's be honest about how the original owner probably sees it). The proclivities of the previous spellcaster aren't necessarily going to match Liev's own. I say this realizing that may come back to haunt the character down the road, but what's life without impending vengeful doom?
2) Up until now, Liev hasn't really been using the spells as they were probably intended: he'll freeze a carriage seat or a tree trunk to spoof a passing spirit, glob acid on a tent and make noises so it seems like a spitting beastie is outside, or have some "burning bush" kind of fun with hapless clergy. Of course, he's probably about to find out the more widely accepted uses for the spells he knows in the days to come.

Normally, they hate each other (+1 to hit, on the Hobs end, and yes, I was adding into your rolls), though in some wild areas, interbreeding has occurred, resulting in the barbarous Cobnyeu. (Pretty much PHB dwarves stat wise, only with barbarian as their favorite class, and Chaotic Neutral as their favored alignment.)

Um... nothing to see here.
