Yikes, my Magic User/Thief only has 30GP - I can't afford a spellbook and a sword!

Awesome! Am I limited to L-G gods, good gods, or any of the top half of the list? A paladin of the Raven Queen seems very tempting...

Oh, and for a name... hmmm... Bethany Scritos, Ben's sister who was given over to the church when young, as the family couldn't afford to feed her.

She would know her family, and have worshiped Ben! Of course, who didn't.

In reply to Protege 2 (msg # 979):

Miralla (my Half Elf Magic User/Thief) also knew Saliq; they are both worshippers of Sehanine and even though she isn't an illusionist she would have been interested in magical advice. Also the two may have been an item at some point.

Starting cash

04:37, Today: Protege 2 rolled 12 using 5d4 with rolls of 1,1,2,4,4. X10 for starting cash.

120 gold. Below average by a hair, but it could have been worse.

MUs start the game with a spellbook. Fighters do not start the game with a sword however! ;)

If you can think of a concept for a Paladin of the Raven Queen, go for it!

*kicks feet up and rests chin on hands like a school girl* Do tell....

In reply to DM Storm (msg # 982):

Do Thieves Tools also come free? :)



*blushes*

Well as I said they go to the same temple and she's attractive young woman looking for excitement and... well... you know, events.

Probably nothing serious though - Miralla is Neutral and Saliq is Neutral Good. :)

Seems pretty basic, that she would be part of an elite cadre of agents sworn to exterminate undead. No special abilities, just a personal focus and code of conduct dedicated to that cause.

As she doesn't know what happened to Ben, this might cause a problem down the road. or not.

Sweet, loving this character already.

One has to wonder, are they still perversions if the props are illusions? Hmmm...

Shane, would heavy warhammer and light warhammer count as different choices re weapon proficiency/specialisation?

In reply to Ingvar Blodhamr (msg # 988):

Do who's who?

Bethany - was Ben
Miralla - was Saliq
Ingmar Blodhamr - was Inas

So we've just got Rath and Norion to come?

I'm using osric BTW - have the DMG somewhere but not the PHB!

Query: Are players allowed to share money, and is anyone interested in giving some leftover coin to the Paladin so she can have be the best possible meat shield.

Have my description up!

Talk about modern gender roles and the shifting of archetypes! All male Ingvar is the one in the party wearing the XXX armor, not the 17 charisma female! What a cod-piece... word up!

In reply to Bethany Scristos (msg # 990):

I don't have a lot but I will see what I have left...!

EDIT - Okay Bethany, I can lend you 8gp. Not a lot I know, but all I have left...


2nd EDIT - Okay, I get 3 1st level cleric spells. Trying not to metagame knowing what we face, but I thought a CLW and Protection from Evil spell would be a good start. For my third spell I can decide between another CLW or Bless. Thoughts?

I'm having trouble getting excited and engaged with creating a new character that I'm 99.9% certain is going to get eaten by ghasts; but your enthusiasm is contagious, and I'll join along.

Stand by. I'll try not to hold up the game.

Wow. I want this one to LIVE!

10, 10, 11, 15, 15, 17.

So new party will be:

Eagle - Human Druid
Ingvar Blodhamr - Dwarven Fighter/Cleric
Bethany Scristos - Human Paladin
Miralla - Half Elf MU/Thief
TBA (Rath)
TBA (Norion)

Rath/Norion, what are you thinking of?

In reply to Aldo Rathmus (msg # 993):

Is there any reason to assume out timelines abut so smoothly?

Our current adventures could be taking place a little bit earlier, giving us to to level two or three times, plus with Eagle's intel as to what we are getting into, we would have a better chance of survival, right?

Damn!!!! Sweet rolls there Pro 1!

In reply to Bethany Scristos (msg # 996):

I'd love to get a few levels in before dying again taking on those ghasts. But that would leave Eagle out of play for a considerable time (real world).

I'm not sure. I don't like 1st edition thieves generally, but I might go with a halfling thief. Leaning toward single-class cleric. Heck, I don't know.

In reply to Protege 1 (msg # 998):

Unless he also rolled up a new PC...

Don't forget we will have a horde of villagers with us. We can feed them to the Ghasts and pick them off when they have a post-lunch snooze... :)

In reply to Ingvar Blodhamr (msg # 1000):

Yeah, ermm, that might just be the eighth level druid's approach to calling the shots with the greenhorn adventurers too. . .

Yes. They are different weapons.
