Sorry for the delay Leif, I'll put something together either today or tomorrow. I've been thinking about a good concept for this. I might try an elven fighter/wizard-> Arcane Archer ; Halfling rogue/wizard -> Arcane Trickster; or human cleric/wizard -> Mystic Theurge... I'll take a look at the RG to see what might best help.

All three of those sound good! (Although, actually, come to think of it, the Arcane Trickster would probably cover some of the same ground as our Brownie Wizard, played by Mowgli. But I'm sure there'll be roon enough for both of you at our feasting table, so if that's what you want to play, by all means, go for it!) There's been no delay to apologize for, we won't be starting until sometime this Saturday, probably in the afternoon or evening, cdt. I just never heard from you again after my snippy remark, so I was afraid that I had totally run you off! I'm still expecting a couple more additions to the RG, from J. Alexander and Kerlan Rayne. You'll be the sixth party-member, so that's gonna about get us all full-up!renau1g said:

I'm pretty sure I'll be running Manny as posted in the RG - Brownie Rogue/Transmuter. I don't really have any pre-conceived notions as to a party role - pretty much anything suggested by his class and size (he's only 15" tall). If anyone sees anything I missed please let me know! I was fairly general with his back story - I prefer to leave some room for fleshing out as the story progresses - so if anyone wants to tie in it's fine with me (just check it out with Leif, I suppose!).

Renau1g - Looks good so far! Feel free to go ahead and start a post in the RG, and finish his entry there as you get to it.
Scott DeWar - the archaeologist angle is very cool, and will potentially tie-in quite nicely with the first adventure.
Mowgli - I just have a couple of questions: How much experience of the world outside of the Whirtlestaffs grounds does Manny have? Was he born at Whirtlestaffs, or did his family move into the walls, attic, and basement during his childhood? Has he ever been to a town or settlement of "Big Folk"? How will he present himself to the Big Folk out in the wide world? As a capable man of small stature, or as an object of curiosity that all the ladies fawn over? Or somewhere in between, maybe, depending upon the usefulness of the fawning?
All - I'm not really expecting any more additions to the group, but I guess we'll think about accepting one or two more, if they present themselves. I'm pretty happy with the grop as it is now. So far, as I recall, we have: Scotley, J. Alexander, Mowgli, Renau1g, Scott DeWar, and Kerlan Rayne. I apologize if I am forgetting someone! (As my dad says, "Getting old ain't for sissies!")

Given that the folks at Whirtlestaff's have probably been familiar with Brownies and their 'requirements' not to be noticed by the folks they help, it's likely they've managed to keep the family around for awhile. I took the liberty in his back story of stating that his family have been with Whirtlestaff's since its founding. However, Manny is 250 years old and very adventuresome for a Brownie, so I figure he's been outside Whirtlestaff's fairly regularly - for supplies, for adventure, to deliver messages to other Brownie families, AA or NA meetings
, or just a break from the tedium of the family work. I read Brownies as having a preference for one place, but not as being tied to it. Also, I think they prefer not to be recognized for doing their good work but that doesn't necessarily mean they are shy. I'm rambling a little, I know . . . Personality wise, Manny is not shy at all, and doesn't mind being noticed by the big folk - his family's discomfort with this is a big part of the reason he 'came out' into the open and enrolled in the Academy formally. He considers himself very capable, and actually looks at his stature as being an advantage in most situations. He'll flirt with women of any stature, but has no real attraction to those not of his approximate size. However, he probably retains at least a portion of his cultural discomfort with being recognized for doing 'good deeds.'
As to the size of the group - whatever you feel comfortable with is cool with me. I tend to prefer small groups, but I'm up for most anything!
