Virius I took the image, and got rid of the white boarder and the words at the bottom, and made it a little smaller. Hope that was ok.

^^ None of the above.  :)

I do tinker around with a few cool heraldry sites though.

[http://www.rpg.uplink.fi/heraldry/] This one is pretty neat, and user-friendly.

[https://www.drawshield.net/]  This one requires you to type in the blazon first, and then it shows you the shield (it takes a little trial and error to get the formatting right).

Absolutely.

Cool.

Did the message letting us know of Rusman's death happen to mention how he passed?

Was it old age?  Unexpected?  Suspicious at all?

No it was not mentioned in the letter.

Between NPC dialog and the Notice Board, That is where a lot of the plot seeds are going to be planted. So keep that in mind when reading, If an NPC is talking, unless I specifically say they are whispering, then you can overhear NPCs dialog and assume to have heard it.

So this is what we have so far, for those following along.

Name                  Race               Class            Level     Kit
Althiof Morad         Dwarf (Mountain)   Thief            1         Locksmith
Virius Tesh           Human (Suloise)    Mage             1         Patrician
Kossoth Zan           Human (Suloise)    Fighter          1         Whirling Dervish
Korkas Stonedelver    Dwarf (Mountain)   Fighter/Thief    1         Ghetto Fighter
Harald Dundragon      Human (Oeridian)   Bard             1         Gallant
Name                  .                  .                1         ?

^^ I think there's a lot of mileage to be had in the Gallant/Ghetto-Fighter juxtaposition.

I love how stuff like that randomly comes together.

I'm going to go ahead and setup the Languages here on RPOL, I will try and get most of what the PCs have (at least those stated out so far.)

I think I might need to make a NPC Roster to keep track of all these folks!.

You have a list already in Post 1 in the in-game thread.

Yeah, but that wont stay sticky for long. I keep having to reference the names, having a running thread works much better. Plus lets me add notes to each NPC as you learn stuff, like the Goblins stealing the wizards spellbook.

Question, I have three people sitting in my inbox that want in this game, should we get a seventh, and request a Priest? I can scale the game to where healing wont be absolutely necessary but having someone with it would be nice. Its up to you folks, I am fine with running seven people.

My vote would be for a priest.

In reply to Dungeon Master (msg # 38):

I'd like to have a priest. I would have made one but gambled of the other unknowns o e was going to be a priest.

All you dwarves look alike.  :)

You are not alone, most the NPCs are assuming that as well.

I put an updated map of the area in link to a message in this game showing where the ambush happened.

If you haven't lets try and fill out the Description areas, I will use those areas for reactions from NPCs on how your character looks, what weapons and armor are showing, and what overall demeanor your character has. So these help me run the game smoother in the long run. You can also edit it as you progress, change armor, pick up new weapons, cut your hair, etc!

You do not have to wait for the others to post or catch up. The others will get involved when they are ready. With a group of seven I don't mind having two smaller groups doing different things and then later bring them together, so if your holding back posting because you don't want to get to far. Don't worry about it. The other players just need to read over the first post to understand what is happening. Plus the way I set it up, They may still be upstairs napping.

@Hollen Jeth This give you a good opportunity to come into the scene, if you'd like. Or they can find you later. (hahah I just noticed I used a Discord Command to try and tag you, dang I've been playing over there for too long.)

Player Poll

Would you like to use Critical's and Fumbles in the game?

As the resident wizard, I won't be attacking much ...  but I would not be opposed to crits/fumbles being added.

Oh cool.  I totally thought Jeremiah was a person.

Having lost a familiar though, makes it way worse.  If Virius wasn't in this guy's corner before ... he certainly is now.
