I have counted approx 5 players, disregarding those who expressed interest but did not continue to respond. I would like to play a cleric/monk (my username usually is entropy but that concept is already taken *shakes fist at rkhet* <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":P" title="Stick out tongue    :P"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":P" />). He would be domains Knowledge, Law.The monks of the order of the Pure Mind spend many hours in silent contemplation of the accumulated knowledge of civilisation. To learn, to improve your depth of mind, is the purpose of life. By reading what others have written, you not only learn what they know, but you know *them*. And with the aquisition of knowledge, and by observing it's effect upon yourself, one can learn to know *you* perfectly.But knowledge comes under attack. The ignorant refuse to learn, and simply move through the world horizontally, rather than striving upward to the Perfection of mind that should be the focus of all. The monks considered this quandry long, consulting their library of knowledge, but eventually the solution emerged from a most unexpected direction: a priest. He was a devotee of the god Iatoth, god of learning. The monks observed how he moved among the populance, spreading the written word and teaching the commoners how enriched their lives can be with knowledge. The monks were amazed, for they had always sought the solution by hunting for the perfect knowledge, the one piece of learning that none would be able to resist. But this cleric spread knowledge simply by charisma, simply by speaking. The monks sent a missive to the (small, and recently founded) church of Iatoth, seeking to learn the knowledge behind their ability to spread knowledge. While communication was slow at first, in time the priests consented to take on and tutor one of the monks, so that he may spread his findings to the others in the monastry. As part of his training, the local ArchPriest of Iatoth has decreed that the novice who is a monk must go out into the world, and learn not only to spread wisdom, but to see how society works and how it can be used to spread learning.I envisage this character as having stumbled across the group, and being filled with interest at them, deciding to help them while he continues his learning.</blockquote>
