Mirik is high Con/low Int College of Lore. Expertise went to Investigation and Nature (might change this one) and the instruments are: bagpipes, drum, dulcimer, and hand drum. Personality stuff is in the previous post.

Status Update

So far we have:

MadAlpaca: Mirik, Lizardfolk, College of Lore. On Bagpipes, Drum, Dulcimer, and Handrum.

Jhaelan: Kharrum, Dwarf, College of Elegance. On Longhorn, Lute, and Harmonica.

Mandacaru: Crackle, Goblin, ?. On Drums?

thattripletguy: ? on Drums possibly.

Aguy777: Undecided (Has not posted since 2/16) Reaching out to them today to see if I need to find a replacement.

Lord Psynister: Fritz, Kenku, College of Creation. On Birdpipes, Lute, and Longhorn and using Mimicry.

Have you decided on having a shared mentor? Knowing how you know each other/first got together will help me tailor the intro to the game and future events.

Everything looks good so far though. On schedule to wrap up Session 0 by 2/25. Thank you everyone for your efforts so far.

Crackle plays the fiddle, shawm (oboe), tabla and is trying out the lyre.

I'm happy with there being a shared mentor, though Crackle may have come along later.bI like the connection to Kharrum but I'm leaning more towards Lore at the minute.

I'm happy with a shared mentor; I think our atypical racial choices is something we could lean into with them, someone who is tired of the same ballads and medieval lute arrangements played by bored-looking half-elves but has embraced each of us because we're really into the music itself. We still play that, sometimes, but with more passion. We're from different colleges, so perhaps them finding us as we're bumming around as freshly minted bards and with the good gigs going to the prettier, more courtly, types?

My expertise is apparently in Deception and Insight, thought I can't remember now why I chose those two.

Almost have everything done (had to spend a day or so doing some IRL stuff). Are we using starting gold? Or equipment?

In reply to aguy777 (msg # 52):

What's the concept?

Kughar is an Orc flutist (he also has pan flutes and bird pipes) from the College of Swords. He was exiled from his tribe for not playing something Orcish (like the drums), and has made his way as an entertainer ever since. I'd imagine it was when he was freshly exiled that he ran into the shared mentor, and everything went from there.

Sweet.

Given we have a Dwarf, an Orc and a Goblin - traditionally enemies - we should probably understand how (much) they reconciled their differences, and how they typically respond to folks who challenge that relationship?

Assuming such racial animosity exists in this setting.

Kughar would have no quarrels with anyone. So long as they're all kind, he is too.

I was assuming such animosity didn't exist. That seems to be the norm these days.

Ok, very happy to roll with that!

In reply to Mandacaru (msg # 58):



This campaign is taking place in the Forgotten Realms. There are of course always people who will be individually intolerant, but as for overall racial tensions they seem to have been abandoned within the mainline settings.

That said, how you decide to handle interpersonal tensions amongst the group is up to you. You all were students under the same master, who, for personal reasons, chose each of you for your talents and sympathizing with you as outliers of your communities.

I was going to finish my character off today but the news has thrown me (not just me I suspect) somewhat off kilter.

In reply to Crackle (msg # 61):

Totally understandable.

Yes, I can understand. I will be making the introductory post for the game tomorrow 2/25/22, I know not everyone has their character done, but we shouldn't need anything mechanically immediately, so feel free to join in as you are able.

I reckon I'm going with College of Lore for Crackle. Expertise in History and Religion. I could swap Religion out for Arcana.

That leans into the idea that she is in love with old stories. I think that gives her something different from the others?

It means I'm good to go with non-mechanical stuff.

I'm good to go.

Good to start, too. Assuming starting equipment, but I might have a peek over some extras.

Any change from the starting coin?

Could you roll for three Feywild trinkets for me, GM? I can't see the table

Sorry, I'm having a minor delay, severe car issues. I will catch up on everything today 2/26/22

Just a few personality things to fill in on the sheet, but I think I'm good to go.

Mirik is inquisitive and likes to fiddle with things to learn how they work. He likes to know the how and the why, but not so great with complicated matters that are made by people (i.e. politics & law).

Hopefully everything goes well, DM. Car troubles are never fun.

As Mirik said, hope them car woes weren't too "fun"

Kharrum has a strong wanderlust in him, his curiosity driven by new faces and new places. Given he has, as they say, twitchy fingers, that isn't necessarily a bad thing. His lust for gold has translated to a minor lust for other folk's gold

I am very sorry for the delay, this weekend didn't go at all as I had planned. The first posting of the main game thread will be up shortly. Thank you everyone for being patient.

No worries. I think Crackle is ready apart from gear. I meant to ask what we start with, or go through the threads.

You can see our sheets, right?
