So I can't get the stuff before we leave,  or I can?

I took things as posted, but I'll happily edit to suit if Alperen gets the mount

It's fine, I can change the post.  Alperen and the boy also are NPCs, charmed, hired or neither.  However, I expect that he will will be mostly quiet, though his base character is none too good.  Charmed or not he is essentially a "bad person" though I suppose there is hope for anyone.

Okay, edited the post to include the mount for Alperen.

Saefrith can edit her post to take the changes into account.

Message changed a touch, the core remains the same!

Sorry I've been quiet, this week has been a beast of a week for work hours so far and Friday isn't looking better.

Okay, Saefrith rolled a 3 and you guys have initiative.

Missile Weapons go first, followed by spells, then movement, and last is melee.

Alperen will draw his scimitar and melee.  Thalia is moving away but not fleeing, more of getting out of the way for the others to have clear access to the beast.  The boy is doing the same.

No missile weapons or declared spell, then Saefrith can roll to-hit in melee.  I will also roll for Alperen and toad, which chose him for its meal (I rolled randomly.)

23:15, Today: Saefrith rolled 10 using 1d20+1.  Roll to Hit!

Zudaan avoids melee and refrains from casting, keeping his horse,  pack mule and his boy well clear of the danger.

Was giving Zudaan time to post and then lost track of time myself.  Sorry about that.

No problem! Eager as I am I know things get hung up sometimes

Welcome to Sin-Nasir, Wadefyr Xyrven and ~thattripletguy (no character name yet)!

New people, meet Saefrith and Zudaan.

New folks all expressed interest in and knowledge of the S&S genre, and are excited to be here.

Great to be here, looking forward to it!

Welcome everyone! Good to have you on the trip!

Hello! I'll try to work some on my cleric this week! Still fairly new to early D&D, but willing to learn.

Howdy, folks! I'm pretty excited to be getting involved here. I'll try to get together a character somewhat quickly, and hopefully I'll be in the game before long. :)

Roll call.

Who is still here and ready to proceed?  I have been waiting for the new folks to finish up.  Wadefyr seems ready to go.

i'm still here but dealing with a family loss. Hoping to get back into things Monday or Tuesday.

I'm around! Don't mind cranking out a few posts to get to a point of meeting the others

Yep, all ready and raring to go!

I had an unexpectedly long and busy week, so I wasn't able to find the time for character creation until now. I've got everything done mechanically, and I'll work on the rest in the morning.

Sin-Nasir, you just need to work up the description.  You can look at Zudaan, Slan, Saefrith or Wadefyr's for some examples, all hit the mark though Saefrith and Wadefyr took it another notch (thanks!)

Also, Sin-Nasir and Wadefyr are traveling together.  This does not need to have been a long time thing or that they know each other especially well.  Some options:

While traveling with a small caravan (together in the same or separately) the caravan was set upon by Orc or Goblin raiders.  They survived (by discretion or luck) and are now lost in the badlands.

OR

Again, either together or separately, thet were non-violently separated from their original traveling group (caravan, whatever) and are now lost in the badlands.

Your choice, I'm happy with another explanation that gets you lost together.
