Don't worry, we'll start soon, and I will be able to keep up with my own "one-post-a-day" rule.
Woo!

I'm looking over everyone's character sheets and everything seems good so far. Anybody who wants to create items with that 5000xp, go ahead and do so and send me a revision. As soon as I have finalized character sheets from everybody in my inbox, I'll go ahead and start the game...thanks for the patience, I know you've waited long enough as it is, so we'll get started as soon as possible.

By the way, in the interest of fairness, any of that 5000 xp buffer that isn't used is added on to your normal xp total, so the non-crafters don't lose out on that deal. Crafters, too- if you don't spend all of your xp, you can keep what you don't use as normal xp. Howver, if you do have item creation feats, I suggest you go ahead and use them now, as once you get into the adventure, you'll have very few opportunities to get access to a magical lab sufficient for item crafting. On that note, I'd suggest stocking up on any consumable items you need to use- ammo for ranged weapons, potions, food/water, etc. There is a town nearby at the beginning of the adventure, but it will be increasingly difficult to access it.

I'll be back later this evening with more info, and then hopefully, we can get started soon.

It's a darn good thing you guys have a cleric of Gond along. Create food and water and minor creation. Rope, arrows, whatever you need! They may not be as good as genuine arrows, but beggars can't be choosers. :D
 

Isida, anyone else, I'm trying to work out the crux for Shakti's background, her transition into sainthood. I've put up a thread on the Wizards character development board here. Any help from other players would be great.
 

What if she had to give up physical beauty? Though the world around her is beautiful, and she can bring beauty to others, she was horribly scarred protecting something/someone beautiful. It makes it harder for her to emulate her diety, but it allows the beauty of her spirit to shine more brightly.

Good idea, had thought of it, just seemed like it was the too obvious answer. Although she's not a supermodel currently, sounds like a good enough idea.

Now, the questions, what was she protecting? How does a mother and child sound? And from what? Slavers? A corrupt (perhaps fiend or yuan-ti) father? Follower of Loviatar? I'm not 100% on top of my FR knowledge so I don't have quick mental reference of general bad guys/organizations in the realms. And how is she scarred? Her face? What about flipping it around so that it is her soul that is scarred (but would that make her no longer exalted)?

Perhaps she was tortured by a priest of loviatar who was seeking his child? Ooo... what if it was her child, and that she had been tricked into lying with the priest, and perhaps she also has to give the child up to a monastery or to a celestial care-taker, or perhaps she has to confront the death of her child, although it wasn't her fault or anything she could prevent, the child died of natural causes but she blamed it on herself?

*ponders*

Ok, how about this. There was a fine and handsome priest of Loviatar, though she did not know his nature. She lay with him, as she believed she loved him and he loved her. She became pregnant with his child and joyfully told him the news. The priest played along with her for several months, planning to sacrifice the child. She discovered his nature and fled from him. However, the priest came after her and discovered her hiding place. He beat her most visciously, and the child died because of his cruelty. The priest was found and punished. However, she had to learn how to discern through lies to discover true love.
