[Thieves' World] Murder at the Vulgar Unicorn (full)

Just a bump. The game is still a go. I am currently assisting MummyKitty through e-mail in making a character. He should start posting him here soon.

That gives us three total players. I believe I might have coerced one more person into playing, which would take us to four. This person won't have a character done until the end of the weekend though. We're definitely a go for this game with four players.

I am still accepting up to two more players. If anyone is interested, jump on in.
 

I think I'm going to wait until we are confirmed before investing more time into my character, if that's okay with you. If everything looks okay, I'll get her wrapped up over the weekend.
 

Bobitron, I'm fine with you wrapping your character up over the weekend as it will be the middle of next week before we are ready to start anyway. Don't worry about the game not happening. I'm going to run it for sure, even if I only end up with three players. Right now, we have three (you, bkmanis, and MummyKitty). MummyKitty and I are finishing up via e-mail and he should be ready to start posting up his character shortly. I have also been contacted by another person through e-mail that is interested but doesn't have the book. That would make four. Further, another friend of mine will probably play, which will bring us to five. It simply will take another handful of days for all characters to be completed beause half of the group doesn't own the book. Once we get past character creation, things should run smoothly.

I'm committed to running the game, so long as we have at least three players, which we currently do. Feel free to take the next few days to finish your character though as it will be at least that long before the rest of the group is done.
 

My character, a Rankan Godsworn, is close to being done. Thanks Toric for your help in building him! I do intend to get the PHB in the near future as well. Looking forward to starting this one up!

overland speed.

Total spent: 104
Wealth: 21sh.


Description and known background:
Any resident of Sanctuary can identify the Rankan blood of Kadramis in his elegant hooked nose, blondish hair and strong figure. But it is equally obvious to the trained eye that Kadramis is not comfortable in the city and is in fact, an outsider. Kadramis furtively glances at passers-by, avoiding eye contact and any physical touch. His skin is weathered and tanned like an outdoorsman, adding years to his appearance. His clothing of faded yellow and black is that of a plains nomad, though with apparently recently acquired accessories such as a mailed gauntlet, iron shoulder armor and a vest of scale mail that are not the typical wear of the steppe riders. A frequent patron of the Vulgar Unicorn, Kadramis is also known as a healer for hire, who will provide curative rituals without asking any questions, provided he is paid well enough to purchase a fine bottle of wine for the night. He will usually select a dark corner of the tavern and drink until he is nearly in a stupor, sometimes muttering to himself and holding his head in his hands. Despite his apparently genuine talents for healing, Kadramis is not known to frequent any temples, nor does he preach or wear any obvious faction symbols, so his true affiliations, background and motives are not well known (yet).

Kadramis is finalized. Updates are in red. Thanks so much Toric for your help in creating my character!

If there's still room, I'd like to join. I haven't read any of the new material, but I have all of the old anthologies in my library. I have always loved the setting.

I just picked up the Player's Manual today. After I get a chance to digest it, I will come up with a character if you have room for me.
 

Eek! This weekend is looking busier than I expected. I will try to get her done on SUnday evening. If not complete by then, I will absolutely have her done by Wednesday. I'm really sorry for the delay.
