Is there a place to post characters? A thread in the Rogue's gallery that I am not seeing? I was thinking of trying an awakened octopus with either a rogue or psionic background (along the lines of the blue ring octopus from a 2E era Dragon magazine issue). If the expanded psionics handbook is not a select book, maybe a few levels of druid or sorcerer instead.

Apologies for the delay. Chapter 118 will be posted this evening, returning BPAA to active play.
The scene will be set in the northeastern region of the Pinnacles of Azor'alq, upon a sunken fragment of the isle of Almat now known as Hagstone, so named for the large chasm which spans its center. The region is home to an assemblage of sea elves, locathah, and merfolk who protect the lair of the Wyrding Witch, an elemental water weird sybil. The party was heading there, to find the Talisman of Al'Akbar, reportedly held by the water weird, when they encountered a region of tainted evil where a sea hag lich became a demi-lich and a slain sea hag returned to life as a blood magus.
Spoilers on...my current players be warned...
At this point, we have just been throwing general character concepts around. An aquatic PC topic over in the Rogue's Gallery is a darned good idea, though. An awakened psionic octopus is a feasible option, though perhaps not a blue-ring, as they are extremely poisonous.

The party has been restored to life, after three years separated from their souls. The creation of the tainted waters filled the PCs with evil. Their benefactor, a spectral hag, used a variation on a spell, incinerating their bodies while trapping their souls in gems. A cult following of sorts has developed, around the "Children of the Hag Queen", a.k.a. existing party members, whose likenesses are presented as statues.

Along the lines of a psionic octopus, ya might want to check out the ceptu, from Bastion Press' Oathbound setting:
Brief write-up:
These large, telekinetic jellyfish consider themselves morally, intellectually, and spritually superior to all other races and strive to lead 'lesser' species to enlightenment (normally under ceptu rulership).
There's a pic of one in the top left hand corner here: http://www.bastionpress.com/images/Wallpaper/Oathbound2_800x600.jpg

If you have had a chance to look over Chapter 118 (and the past few Chapters, if you'd prefer) to get a feel for the story, and the campaign background, to get a sense of the setting's history, do you have any questions?
As always, you can find links to the game boards and campaign background, as well as my contact information, at www.lobi.com/bpaa. Feel free to look for me on AIM/iChat.

As EN World's e-mail function is "disabled by the administrator", can the list of interested players please e-mail me at aeolius@lobi.com? You can send prospective character sheets/concepts to the same address.
