And I quote

"I tempted the DM now we're in trouble HEHE"

before Loki said anything

I recently had a problem with my comp that forced me to fully reboot it and I lost all info on it before he problem so I'm going to need you to send me a copy of my character sheet please.

Loki sir Van wasn't talking when you butted in I, Hundover, was and I think the other reference to Van was actually me too.

Well, I suppose logic clearly states that you are Sir Van, Ion. All this time you had us deceived XD

I want to get a post soon, preferably before end-of-term homework piles in.

I got a bit confused.

I will see if I can make sense of it and edit my post.

EDIT: It would help me if we put our character names as the subject of the post.

The money is not in the vault, its in a bank, so don't worry about it being stolen by the goblins.

Ok sorry about being a pain there we can now start the adventure oh great DM.

For Loki's convenience I've listed the character names by the player in the beginning of this thread. Just a note, I wrote the names down as they were introduced, so Baron's name is not known yet.

By the way, I almost completely forgot about the suggestion Sibelius made on the previous page, we are in serious need of character descriptions. Would you all be able to send me a brief (or detailed if you want) description of your character? I'll be posting them somewhere, as of yet undecided, for easy reference. I know that some people have already included them in their first post, so for them would you be able to collect what you wrote together and send it to me?

heh in the order introduced so we don't know Baron's name yet nice.

Thank you Aardvark.

I do have one prepared to post up, I was planning to introduce my character gradually through RP but here he is:

Efen, of the Frozen Coast
To someone that knows Efen is a traveller, a warrior, for the Frozen Coast. A bleak part of Altria where all the land is snow and water ice, it’s a harsh environment to travel through and if the cold doesn’t kill you the beasts that live there will. Despite this depiction it is inhabited, not much is known of the people who live there, only really what travellers would tell and when they do tell they tell of a proud people, people who defend the land with their lives and worship the moon and ocean and some among them who command the ice and snow itself.

To those who don’t know Efen is a traveller, a warrior, has something for blue, a man who carries a decorated bone spear.

On his travels our protagonist has picked up an assortment of things that look almost out of place with him, brown leather armour, warn under his pale blue cloth wrap but above his dark blue cloth shirt. A pony that follows him loyally, carrying Efen’s load over it’s back, a sharp short dagger made of steel tucked under his belt on which a money belt also sits, given the chance to camp with him you’d also find a small wood box of Passionflower leaves, a percolator and mess kit. His dark blue shirt keeps close to his form and its sleeves covering the palms and backs of his hands, but not his fingers, his leggings, seaming of the same piece, reach down into travellers’ boots and a pale blue cloth reaching down to his knees and around his waist. Waterskins hang by his sides, straps crossing each other across his chest and back, the stoppers closed but facing forwards rather then up.

Overall Efen is not an impressive sight, particularly as he stands before the man, on the stool, behind the stand, on the road. People often don’t know how to react around Efen, he doesn’t appear like a warrior with his spear in hand and they would probably be right to, Efen is capable warrior with a spear but he can’t wait to break the shaft. All males of his tribe are trained to use the spear and females with the javelin, in memory of a time when the water and land was not frozen, as a tradition once someone has mastered using water bending to defend themselves they break the shaft of their spear or javelin. From the moment of breaking the shaft that person’s responsibility is no longer the survival of the tribe but the survival of art form that water bending is considered to be.

Efen himself left the tribe long before breaking the shaft of his spear, he still hasn’t broken it, he left the tribe because he was not considered an acceptable husband to the girl he had idolised. Although this seems like a self imposed exile it isn’t, it’s a tradition, an unwritten law, that if a man does not receive the blessing of the farther of the girl he is courting then he must leave and return in a year with a gift to prove his worth. Efen has been away for 9 months, hasn’t found a suitable gift for the girls farther and is having second thoughts to the girl he was courting. His journey has opened his eyes to the world.

EDIT: And who said anything about charging Ion? Efen isn't charging, although he is happy to lead.

Sorry, I was referring to just a physical description although if you don't mind all of that being shared like this then thats all right. If you do though, HIDE IT QUICKLY BEFORE ANYONE COMMITS IT TO MEMORY!!

I honestly don't mind, but now you've posted I can post the queation I PMed you.

I'm guessing that map reading is going to be a survival check (and a relatively simple one at that), am I right? If so then I'm going to be taking a 10 on it giving me a total check result of 17.

Could you also tell me some information about the journey to the person’s house? What I can see on the map. Stuff like how far away is it, how long it'll take to get there, a description of the route etc.

Once a few more people have posted I'm probably going to get my character to ask if the person can sketch the layout of the house and its grounds on a bit of paper, just a heads up so you’re ready. I’m going to get him to use the weather predicting aspect of the survival skill to, well, predict the weather as well.

I will post up soon about reading the map and hopefully we can get on our way. If Luther can post soon then I'll have no qualms about posting up the route to the guys property and we can then get good and lost on the way.

Just kidding, the chance of getting lost with Efen navigating is slim, admittedly he has trouble finding north but a first level shouldn't be able to do everything.

Some posts would be nice. This is just to give Sibelius time to don his armor and the group to get to know each other. If you feel you have nothing to post that I shall press on towards Thomas' estate.
