I'd call that mild insanity caused by prolonged antisipation.
I'm wavering on the edge of it myself .

Just been thinking that I forgot to select a colour for "neutral" NPC's so here we go How about this?

EDIT: Ok, that's really hard to read, lets try again. I think this might be better.

Ah, the joy of posting a nice big, fat update for mine own campaign.

Now cue the days of facepalming as the PCs miss every clue, misinterpret everything, totally fail to ask simple, obvious questions and generally make me want to start the next one inside a gazebo.

I didn't know G was playing in your pbp game .
Mind you, you'd probally have to make his character sheet for him so everything actually made sense .

Now we're just waiting for Machuchang to choose a colour so I can kick things off .

If you feel really nasty, put this group of characters into the Blenheim campaign as NPC antagonists.

I'm a big fan of the Wolkenritter gambit.

Anyway, not to rush things, but we're all obviously champing at the bit, and waiting for one poster to do something minor while everyone else has to wait is the easiest way to kill a campaign. I'd just start now.

I have to say, this has to have the highest average charisma of any group I've been in. Maybe we should try to defeat the Covenanters through the power of rock.

I'm good to go whenever anybody else is (first time playing a warlock, but have read the silverclawshift campaign journals so it should be fun!).

Insert [any large area-effect nasty damage spell]. It was going to be Song of Dischord but I decided Verossa wouldn't know about that one.

Bad Idea to shatter someones weapon as a display isn't it? .

I assume as the eldritch-looking chap is me? (good guess, red eyes make it that obvious?)

Considering that Glaive is supposed to keep people away from you, and I do mean you personally. And considering she's carrying a backup warhammer. Very poor idea.

And I wouldn't advise shattering the platform either... It took 20 Halfling craftsmen 6 days to build it, who knows what it could contain .

Very true, so I think I'll settle for something a little less, obvious of my dark powers. (Uttering words in abysal isn't exactly going to get everyone to trust me)

Dame Eleanora Worthe.

I'm actually a little dodgy on the correct form of third-person address. "The good lady" would not be appropriate.

Also, assuming things progress so far, Verossa requests permission to take a Drow of the Underdark feat (Imperious command) at 6th level, and a skill trick from Complete Scoundrel (Never outnumbered)

The feat requires CHR 15 (sorted) and Intimidate 8 ranks (will be sorted by then) it makes people she intimidates in combat cower for 1 round, then become shaken the next.

The skill trick also requires 8 ranks Intimidate and 2 skill points to learn. Lets her roll intimidate checks on all opponents (that aren't immune to fear) within 10 feet. Usable once per encounter.

Also, she's going to be shopping to add the Fearsome property to her armour. When she has the cash.

Net result will be considerably less scary than a Bard with Haunting Melody (requirements: 9 perform ranks and Bardic music) but fun.

Ah, ok, if it was anyone else I was going to remind you of the restriction on the title "Dame" in this world, and as I have not introduced any high level/powerful female knights i was a bit confused.

As to the bolded part in the quote, provide me when an online source and I'll consider it.

Never Outnumbered (this doesn't mention the 2 skill point cost to buy. That's standard with all skill tricks. There was a better site I had open but the Chinese internet thing is....well.

Skill tricks in general.

Fearsome armour (the one on the bottom, from DotU

Imperious Command

EDIT: And as a bonus Haunting Melody. which is better than all that put together and essentially has the prereq of "being a level 6 bard".

All of those seem ok, but let me think on it for a while.
You might have to come up with a way of re-working Haunting Melody to fit a Hexblade though.

Don't worry about it, I find it interesting in the very weird style of half truths and deceitful beating around the bush. It makes sense. .

And If you can't tell I'm going to try to be in the spotlight, as heroes are wont to do, .
