Good news on my end I do not plan for either animal to have anything to do with encounters or combat if it can be avoided....

When 7th level rolls around a lantern archon familiar is not super fragile, but also not overtly  powerful either.....

Well if you mean to take Improved Familiar then the Celestial Familiar is gone and so is the feat for it.

You would be better off keeping the celestial hawk. Plus you can't take a lantern archon familiar or at least easily.

Keep in mind even if you don't want them in a fight, doesn't mean they won't be in the fight. They are simply animals other then the familiar. They get sppoked, scared, run away, ect. Unless its a war animal.

Well if you do  not  kill my hawk, then should be that the whole time.  If the hawk dies and I  am 7th level or higher then the lantern archon comes in under the celestial familiar feat.

I feel  like my hawk is safer....

Any more PCs coming on board behind the scenes?

We got a bard and I will be the rogue type.

So we got:
Dwarf Cleric
Gnome Wizard
Human Fighter
Half-Elf Bard
Halfling Rogue

Balanced.

Yes I might also change the characters first name Im still trying to get used to it.

: )

I did a public character description for everyone to be able to see.  I do not think it is a requirement, I just like to set a PC at camp when first encountered...

My character sheet should be all set for review - just realized this morning that I hadn't picked up a mount, so I rectified that!

So that is a lot of animals I need to kill I mean save I mean nevermind....

Looking forward to getting going...

Me too!

Everyone can post in 'Hommlet' as your travelling to it unaware of what has occured in the past. Just mild rumors, no definate proof. To you its just a village.

On the map (which is all OOC) you start at number '1'.

Ready to post, but no time this evening, plan to put up an intro post

Are we basically arriving simultaneously?

Everyone in the group are friends travelling together.

Waiting on the cleric and the fighter

Happy Holiday, for those who celebrate, have a great weekend  everyone else....

Also so everyone knows your all traveling together.

Horses + Wagon = Slower then a horse :)

Oh yeah!

Good news is we got the initial posts out of the way!

Mules + Wagon = Extended Delays for Mule Attitude.

I'll post tommorow. always good to have inner group conversation, Assuming you will go to the tavern?

The halfling will join soon.
