So the update is in. I'm loving all of your posts so far, even though it's only been the one week since we started. Great job everyone, I hope you enjoy the game as it develops.

1) Nice update

2) Who is Volke? Does Jinnie know him or know about him? If yes, what does she know?

3) Can someone else post first? It wouldn't be Jinnie's style to pipe up first (unless it was a solo mission) and ask questions about compensation and such.

4) Gboy, do you handle all the dice rolls? Can I get a Knowledge [Local] check on the names on the sheet PMed to me?

Thanks
Reep

1) Thanks for the compliment.

Rest) it totally slipped my mind to update the section on this Q&A about the NPCs... I will do so later in the day about some common knowledge, then PM you all a list about what supplementary info your characters know depending on your knowledge (local) roll.

...I've got a bit of a starter post in the works but will wait for the PM/Q&A info before I finish it off and tack it up, then.

The list of people is posted underneath the characters on page one of this Q&A. I have to step out for the night, and won't be able to PM you all your known information until tomorrow, but it will come. I hope this helps a bit.

We're supposed to kill the king?? Jeesh... What's this, a suicide mission? What do you think we are? Assassins? Come on... We only kill to make the world a better place. We're not cold blooded murderers, but protectors of the realm! ...

Wait... Sorry... Wrong game.

You want us to kill the king? Fine. Never liked the man anyway.

+1 for giving me a laugh early in the morning. I should have all your supplementary info to you by tonight.

Hey! Crazy week here at work. Just thought I'd check in as I'm hoping to post up tonight.

Gboy, are we to expect a PM from you regarding "special knowledge" we have regarding Greyhawk and "the list"? Or should we post with what you have provided for us?

Unless someone else has done so already (haven't checked the game thread yet), I imagine my post to be more of a follow up (like, "So... what's the compensation package look like?") rather than a move forward kind of post.

Anyway, let me know if I should wait for the PM before I post.

...glad you're making it through, though.

Haven't finished a post for Whisper, yet, but I'm thinking along the same lines. Whisper doesn't say much, of course, but, given the targets on the list, he'll definitely be wondering about compensation... *nods* ... and then he'll be wondering in which order these marks would be best taken...

I thought about asking the "which order" question too, but I imagined Volke saying something like "whatever you think would be best... you're the professional!" You could try and see what happens... any hints from the DM are always appreciated, right?

Anyway, I posted a few questions up:
Where and how will we be inserted into the city?
What's the time frame we're working with?
What proof does he require?

And how and how much are we getting paid?

Any other questions we should ask?

I got hit with the sick bug now... But I am going to be writing up the PMs with special knowledge now. Sorry for the delay.

EDIT: Everyone's list of knowledge has been doled out. The information is DC based, so if you beat a DC, you know certain information, so it's possible you know some similar information.

I posted the answers to Reep's questions on the thread, if that will help you get your creative juices flowing for your posts.

The rings are made of black mithral, a substance that is dark, lightweight, and looks like it could be iron if it is closely inspected. They all are embedded with obsidian.

I am still not sure of the significance of Volke. Who is he?

Also, let me state that in regards to the Greyhawk campaign world, I am completely clueless. I have never played within the setting.

Thanks, gboy! Hope you feel better soon!

Greyhawk has a rather large setting. However, for the purposes of this campaign, Greyhawk is just a large city. Once you get to the city, I will be posting a map of the city, and giving a brief guide to the notable landmarks that are on it. Don't worry, you don't need to know everything about Greyhawk to get the game... At least I hope so, because I don't know everything about it either!

And Volke's person will be revealed later in the game. You've only just met him, after all.

Got my younger daughter's birthday this weekend, so I probably won't be able to post before Monday. Sorry about the delay.
