Hi folks. I'm the newbie. Just reading up and getting myself caught up!

In reply to Rissa Twiceborn (msg # 126):

I certainly hope so!

Hello new Terminax!

Ahhh. A nice long rest :)

It would be very helpful if everyone can post their character description with their character class. Thanks!

Rissa is a strange looking creature.  Clearly a Tiefling, she makes no effort to disguise her demonic heritage with hoods or cloaks.  The purple flesh of her face  is heavily marred with intricate tattoo work, monochromatic in dark black.  They bare no form or easily discernible meaning, at least to those who lack the lorecraft to read Celestial and Infernal, repeating geometric shapes and strange symbols that begin at her cheeks and travel down at least as far as the high collar of her studded leather jerkin.  To those who can, the arcane symbols of binding and containment are immediately clear.

Her ears and horns are heavily pierced and adorned with jewelry and rings, with some trinkets of real value mixed in among the cheap costume jewelry.  The armor she wore looked new, solid quality, though lacking the embellishments that the upper classes might bear.  Now, the first signs of wear are beginning to show, the left shoulder dented by what looked to have been a heavy blow. It still looks functional, a dull grey with black studs at regular intervals.  A knife rests at each hip, though those appear to be her only visible weapons.  Under the leathers she wears simple traveler's clothes, the heavy backpack over her shoulders and good knee high boots on her feet making it clear that she is ready to travel.

Hello new Terminax!

Currently Warlock 2, about to convert to Sorcerer 1 if the DM allows it.

Lucien is an averaged sized elven man; that is to say slightly shorter than the average human man. He has well groomed, long, brown hair that is tied in a tight knot behind his head. His eyes are deep green and, when not hidden beneath his cowl, his features are sharp and angular. He wears a cloak over leather armor that is covered in a variety of pockets. There is a thin rapier sheathed at his side and a longbow and quiver of arrows strapped to his back. All of his gear is some shade of dark brown or green as though to blend in to the shadows.

As far as personality, Terminax has been around long enough to know that Lucien is constantly on edge to the point of paranoia. When the party is in town, Lucien adopts his cover identity: Seliar Silversong, a roguish gambler who is significantly less dour than Lucien.

Lucien is a Rogue 3, Arcane Trickster. I've still got a ways to go to 4th level so I'm glad that it sounds like others are catching up a little.

Where are you intending to rest? I get the impression that you intend to rest in the large room with the table where the one-eyed man was before he fled downstairs, but I want to make sure.

Unless there is a guardhouse we could hole up in, that seems like a good plan.

That's where I was thinking.

Hello everybody! I am the new Terminax! Ready for all your fighting and wizarding needs!

Everybody already knows Bombor, right?

*Bat Squeaks*

Whose a good boy? Whose my good little bat!? Whose the best familiar in the world? You are! Yes you are!

*Bat stares at Terminax, looks at everybody else and pulls out a small sign from under its wing.*

Please kill me.

This tonal shift from Terminax is going to be a major adjustment :P

Welcome!

Lol, just a tad.

Now every battered adventurer's most pressing question...

"do we get a long rest, or does something interrupt us?"

I didn't miss a level up post did I?

The DM is constantly updating the XP total on your own sheet.

I went ding last fight, but had to wait for a long rest for the level of Sorcerer to kick in.

I'll send you a private message when you level up, too.

Sorry for the silence the past couple of days. I'll work on getting caught up now.

Was there a fireplace in any of the rooms we've already explored?

There was a big fireplace in the banquet hall, where you first encountered the one-eyed man in the keep.

I'm starting a new D&D 5e game: link to another game. You are all more than welcome to apply.

I wish.  I start grad school on Sept 3rd, and I made a promise to myself.

NO NEW GAMES.

At least until I get a handle on what school is going to be like.

Congratulations on starting graduate school. What kind of program are you in?

I think I'm maxed out on games for the time being too.

@Rissa: unless I'm very much mistaken, I've already gotten past the locked door. It was the storeroom where I found the supplies.

That's correct. The locked door was the storeroom.

Oops, correcting!

Ha, let's not have wasted the short rest.

I nominate Three Elks to have been communing with the weapon while we were setting up.

Who had the cloak?

In reply to Rissa Twiceborn (msg # 150):

Lucien is wearing the cloak. Out of character, it is a Cloak of the Bat and I would like to hang on to it. In character, Lucien pointedly hasn't mentioned any enchantments since he put it on.
