**As you come to rest by an overly large willow tree, a large yellow, wide brimmed hat appears magically on your head, the sounds of a river just of in the distance almost being drowned out by a female's singing voice.
You look round and notice four small figures come tumbling over the hill.**

Detect Magic reveals that nothing around you is real, though you still have an overwhelming urge to call yourself Ol' Tom.

"My hat... is not real..." and with that I sit down and begin to cry, never to be heard from again.

Now they tell tales of Ol'Tom who wanders the forest stealing hats from unsuspecting travelers.

Ok, back on track again.
As soon as Machuchang and Wordplay pick their colours I shall post the IC thread, this will be accompanied by PM's to each of you with a link to a personalized copy of the map making not of places you've mentioned in your backgrounds. I will warn you all right now, I have the artistic ability of a blind, thumbless Parkensons sufferer (no offense meant to anyone who actually suffers from that horrible affliction, my simpathies and best wishes go out to you) when I try and draw normally with pencil and paper, doing it on a computer in MS paint is even more of a challange.

EDIT: @Arranis: **Unfortunately, you have not yet had a Halfling curl up and go to sleep between your roots as yet, and you also notice that there are heaps of hummingbirds now devouring all the cakes, scones, muffins, and sweet slices you have left out on the trail**

OK, I think that I'll try Dark Slate Grey for Raif Clearsight

Incidentally, how much experience would we get for Tom Bombadill? Bet there'd be loads of treasure, older guy with a young wife, probably loaded.

Ummm... If you were to try and take on Ol' Tom, you'd get your butts kicked from here to Sunday, 500 years from now.
Converting his stats from ICE's MERP: Lords of Middle Earth vol. 1, he'd be a (approx) lvl 527 Cleric with Travel and Nature domains, his natural stat line would read like this : STR 18 DEX 24 CON 22 INT 21 WIS 24 CHA 19 (MERP and RoleMaster didn't really have a convention for naturally upping your stats very easily. The rules they did have for it were annoying and were capped at a certain number). That's not including all the SLA's, Su's and Sq's he'd have.
Oh, and he'd be considered an Enormous creature for everything BUT AC...

I can't wait for this to begin.

*Suddenly Tom Bombadil come running through the forest and exploding all the hummingbirds shouting things like "HAT KILLERS!", before going back to being a hat-stealing spirit of the forest*

EDIT: I apologise If I am ruining your fantasies and/or childhood memories. (I have done so before)

"oooooh HATS!" Tom begins picking up hat after hat and climbs trees as he picks them up and puts them in the foliage. "No, hummingbird will get you, my fine hatty friends"

I'm going to try to grapple Tom while he is up in the trees. I'll be doing this while I am a tree so...

Grapple (1d20+50)[54]. I get a +50 modifier because as far as you know I'm a giant tree. Make a will save vs 19 to disbelieve I'm a tree.

Edit: in the words of Elan, "I ROLLED A FOUR!"

Okay, you see a silly Gnome with a large hat shooting a scorching ray at you.

Attack (1d20+5)[13]
Damage (4d6)[10]

Okay... He missed and hit a hummingbird.

It was a good team building experience. We learned not to fight each other and that I roll rather poorly.
