Here.

Tar-Kan, reporting for duty. I can't say I've done a forum D&D game before, and I've never done 4th Ed. So I'm going to roleplay more than be helpful.

And until you think of it, your character shall remain in shadow

Right, now. For those who haven't played before, roleplay takes a substantial part of any D&D game (which is done in the IC thread (the In Character thread)). Usually, people will pick a color to represent their speech

For example:

I'll take Green, to represent my Nature skills and stuff.
About my background: I want it to grow with the story. If the others want to know something, they should just ask and I'll answer. Maybe I've hidden motives, but that's not very likely, so my answers will be mostly honest.
Other idea: I don't know about it myself. I discover my history during the adventures. But that could be a little too weird.

Heheheh. My 3.5 campaign in real life.

On that subject, I'll go with Dark Slate Gray to match my exoskeleton.

I'm taking teal. I'm sure (maybe) you guys have noticed I use teal over in the WW portion of the forums when I can. Also green and gray, the logical choices for my character (aside from brown I guess?) are taken (so I have an excuse to take teal which I was gonna take anyway). So who's posting first?

@Matthias: You might at least want to privately confide in Vesth at least something about your character's backstory.

I got a kick out of the plot device device Mountain doesn't have and isn't using. I get the feeling that won't be the last we see of that.

You might post first, since Mountain just found the others.

I figure Tar-Kan's hiding in the shadows.

I don't think me posting first is a great idea. It'd end up rather short as Mountain is the stoic sort and it would basically end up as "Mountain entered the cave, noticed the others, and said, 'Greetings.' " and that'd be the whole post as it'd be a little strange to have him just charge on ahead, ignoring everyone else to investigate.

Our sheet is still kind of empty, think we have powers (details yet to be added) chosen but not too sure. also is all the stuff that is there right for a Sandsoul?

Still need a name for this Young'un, He would probably the most talkative of the group, at the very least the most annoying, this will be the speech color if that is no problem.

The main jest of his story, is he is board of studying, has read books about adventuring and thievery and wants to give that a shot.


Oh and things have conspired to make us almost forget about this at every turn, and never gives us time to sit down and work on this and this alone.

Well, what are we saying has happened so far?
Are the five standing talking with each other?
if so what has been said?
Can the kid see Mountain?
Still need a name for our kid, as it would be one of the first things he tells everyone.
What can he tell about Mountain from looking at him?
Give us ALL the information in the world!!!

Well, it's up to you, but you guys probably came in relatively recently, so not much (if at all) has been discussed.

Seeing that Mountain has just entered, you can see a huge metal-man coming in...

If you need help with names, there's this...

Sorry for taking a while to check in. I'll put up my sheet when it's finished, because I'm posting from my iPad and I don't want to go searching for the link and at this point it's just a matter of copying stuff over.

I'll be posting in Blue. It's sort of my go-to color. (Although it was tempting to use red, since I can't in the werewolf games)

So, what do you guys think of the wonderfully random name of

Cheemormechee Thraixhon-und
An energetic annoying character needs a good long crazy name.
If that is alright, what will be the shortened name that you all call him?

Now on to the discussion of what was being discussed or what had just happened prior to Mountain showing up. Who are we going to say meet up first? Does any of us know each other yet? Considering that we knowingly started our kid off with out food he will more or less be begging for some at this point, well he was pampered most of his life so he is actually demanding in the tone of a beggar, but what would you guys like to have happened?

I'm assuming we don't know each other. At least, that's what I figure for my character's perception.

I'm going to post first, if nobody minds.

lol and of course Mountain's reason for being there is more or less "because I heard of it". So, it's probably best if someone else cuts in there.

Figured I'd be the voice of reason here.

And I just realized how much guidance I'm gonna need as far as what I should do, what requires a check etc...

EDIT: And the house rules aren't working for me...

The house rules are about rituals. Fantastic stuff.
