RotRL: Hook-Mountain Massacre

[Thattaman]

Welcome all, to the OOC for my Rise of the Runelords game. Please post characters and select colours. Be weary of it being a little slow to start of with as I adapt it to being evl eight starting.

[shugyosha]

Sargov the sniper/scout in purple

[Iron Victory]

Samael the magus will be speaking in DimGray.

[maggie_mcknife]

For obvious reasons, Red the fighter will be speaking in... wait for it... red.

Does anyone want to make it that some or all of our PCs already know or have heard of each other? It might make role-playing and combat easier, since we don't have the Skinsaw Murders arc to explain why we're working together.

[Axinian]

Zidra the Dark will speak in Navy Blue because someone took purple

maggie: It's possible that you guys have at least heard of Zidra, since she has a bit of a reputation for being an uncannily cold and focused wizard.

[shugyosha]

I'm sure we all have heard about each other.

[maggie_mcknife]

True, if our PCs are supposed to be 'famous in Magnimar', then it is likely we've heard about each other at the least. Based on the backgrounds and personalities that are up though, we seem to be a pretty eccentric and quiet bunch. Might ease things up a little if some of the party have met/ worked together/ are friendly towards each other.

[shugyosha]

Is anyone's character particularly friendly?

Samael tries to be as friendly as possible.

[maggie_mcknife]

Red's rather friendly. Just quiet and with her own ideas when it comes to dealing with cruel people.

[Axinian]

Zidra should be plenty friendly, if a little odd.

[Thattaman]

Right, so if you all know (of) each other then that will make it easier. I'm trying to thing up why the Mayor would summon you, though, because it gives an obvious reason if you've done part two, but we haven't.

[shugyosha]

Sargov isn't friendly but would be willing to work with someone needing a scout.

Is it possible that one of the PC's knows everyone, the mayor asks that PC for help and that PC then forms the team.

[maggie_mcknife]

Actually, that's a pretty good idea, shugyosha.

@ Axinian: Given that everyone's supposed to be somewhat famous, would Zidra be the person best suited to have the information/ contacts to seek everyone out?

Being a diviner, yes. Though she would probably have been hired by someone else to do so.

[shugyosha]

have we lost people?

Maybe people thought the game was dead, and unsubscribed. We could PM them.

[shugyosha]

We have melee, range, traps, arcane spells covered. Would be nice to have some healing. What happened to the money pool for a wand?

[maggie_mcknife]

Rokku's oracle was supposed to handle that. Has anyone PM'D Rokku and Arthurian yet? If not, I can do it.

[maggie_mcknife]

OK, I just PM'D them, so hopefully we'll hear back from them soon.

[Thattaman]

Thanks, just reading through the adventure one last time.

[Arthurian]

Sorry about that. I actually did think it died. (my bad)

Garad the Unbreakable will be talking with a Sienna colored voice. He is very easy to get along with and somewhat modest.

Since his background isn't up (will get to that soon) he's 'famous' for slaying a 'marsh giant' on his own, just to rescue one lost kid in the swamp. To those who know of such things, the tale seems to have been exaggerated, and Garad continually claims that the Marsh Giant had been both a runt and missing an arm.

[maggie_mcknife]

Yay, you're back!

A lot of us seem to be famous for killing monsters.

[Thattaman]

Just waiting for one more person.

[maggie_mcknife]

Rokku hasn't been to the forum since Wednesday, and there's no option to send him/her an email...

[shugyosha]

I just saw him showing interest in a PF Planescape game.

[maggie_mcknife]

Does someone else want to PM Rokku to see if he's still interested then? I don't want to spam him twice.

[shugyosha]

might as well

[Thattaman]

I hate it when people do this. Post characters and then never go into the game, then later they'll complain about not getting into enough games.

[Arthurian]

Might as well start without him. No point in waiting.
