Hi!

Leaning heavily in the direction of Monk, Open Hand at 3rd lvl. Would like to see what any others might be playing, though.

In reply to Tortle (msg # 2):

Sounds good to me.  I sent a message to the person asking about playing a Harengon and also posted in the players wanted forum.

Wow, lots of interest in the game.  Far too many to read and respond to this evening but hopefully some/all will see this: I'll get back to you tomorrow!

I was thinking Way of Mercy monk.

Open Hand. I really like the Mercy monk. I played a kenku with the UA version of way of mercy. I like the rewrite in tasha's

Lita SunKennel, your halfling Bard and master swordswoman/dancer, at your service.

Baldur Svartdahl, your cheerful 'Viking' axeman here.

I'm just the small cuddly bunny monk with the beady red eyes and the gnashing teeth.

Greetings!

Neah Sendina, elven wizard here.

Finished character creation. Do you want us to use a particular sheet, or is DnD Beyond good?

D&D Beyond is fine.  I'm not picky about character sheets.  Even just typing in the basics into the rpol sheet is fine.  I'll unlock all of your sheets now.

Thanks. I added a link to DnD Beyond in my RPoL sheet area.

Well, I'm done with my sheet

I'll get some more info out to you tomorrow.  In the meantime, if you would like to discuss how your characters all know each other this is a good time for it.  I'm not into contriving situations on bringing characters together so from an in-game standpoint you already know each other.  If you folks settle on reasons why you're out adventuring together that's great.  If you don't, that's fine too.  We'll just never mention or make relevant as to why you're all together.

Well my backstory is I'm a wandering former soldier haunted by war.
I did and saw some things fighting against orcs that give me nightmares occasionally.

I probably was either serving with or stationed near an Elven community as I can speak Elven.

My characters on a journey to experience and obtain the goal to be a famous dancer. She's definitely okay with having anybody as a traveling companion, she is a Bard after all.

Neah, is Elven nobility of the reclusive high Elves. She is running away from family and obligations and an arranged marriage. She might have run into Bannir on the outskirts of her lands. He could either have taken pity on her, walking somewhat dangerous roads alone, or she could have seen the need for security and either paid him for protection or asked if he wanted to come along (with the prospect of treasure and adventure). What do you think?

On the road, the two could have come across Lita and found even more safety in numbers. While not at all proficient, Neah appreciates performing arts. In spite of the High Elven way of seeming aloof, she would surely take a liking to Lita. A few days on the road and in camps for the night, might be enough to initiate some budding friendships.

Would love to hear more from the other characters!

Bannir met Neah first on the edges of elven lands, he joined the elven lady in her travels to safeguard her and later met the dancer and a fellow sparring partner.

Heh, I'm liking it so far. One thing to note at though is Lita is a very bad dancer except for ones involving swords. Since birth, she was an expert in cutting and carving wood, almost to an art form. All that natural talent has made her pretty good at swordsmanship.

Just don't expect her to do a dance you like, she'll probably cause nothing but a path of destruction.

Maybe I’ll be a hermit around those lands that Bannir would visit with and talk philosophy, engage is tests of agility and athleticism, and the board game Weiqui (Go), which I would always lose. Maybe Bannir would make the same joke about running circles around me. Name still undetermined.

Busy weekend with the kiddos so I wasn't able to get anything posted.  Tomorrow!  Yes?  Yes!

Called out of town unexpectedly to deal with some family issues. Just got back and will get caught up and post tomorrow.

My apologies to all for my absence.  That wasn't kind to leave you hanging.

We'll get started in the morning.

Hey, great to have you back with us.

I understand  RL can be a cruel mistress.

Was that Friday, Saturday or Sunday morning?

Boy, this is just sad.

Hello.  Is anyone still here?  My total disappearance was a result of the sudden sickness and death of a family member.  I hope there's still interest despite the issues I've faced in getting started.

So sorry for your loss.

If you are up to it, I am still here.

In reply to Tortle (msg # 30):

Thank you.  Yes, I think I've given myself time to process and try to focus on returning to doing things I enjoy.

Sorry for your lost, I'm still interested in the game.

My condolences. I'm willing to give it a try.

Looks like our fighter is out.  I'll start going through the other folks who sent an RTJ to find a replacement.

Welcome, Wictor!  That rounds out the group.  The first post is coming tonight.

Greetings all.  I look forwards to gaming with all of you, and shall try to make this a fun time with a rather straight-forward fighter.

Is there a healer in the party, I am thinking of changing tact.

Bannir was considering Way of Mercy which could heal at level 3.  (Like I said I promise I won't make you wait long for the first few early level.)  However, you're welcome to change classes.

By the way, did I miss you telling me your character's name?

Happy Thanksgiving to any of you who celebrate.  I'll post again tomorrow evening after my little ones are in bed.

We got back into town later than expected so today's update is now tomorrow's update.

Have I killed the game?

I'm here. Will post shortly.

Still here. Just new and wanted to give others a chance to go.

I am here, but stuck at the starting line with character creation paralysis

I too, was giving the others a chance to post.

In reply to Tortle (msg # 44):

Well my terrific terrapin teammate, I can only suggest picking an idea and going for it. Or take your ideas, roll a dice to choose one, then make the one you actually wanted to make. There are no mistake characters, just happy little accidents.

I'm going to assume this game is dead. The DM has not been in for over a week.

It's probably dead, everyone, we should probably leave.
