Molasbar would have been in Gate Pass conducting research and shopping for exotic items, living a comfortable lifestyle. Once rumors or news or unrest hit, Molasbar would be looking for some survival gear (represented by the longsword and backpack on his equipment list) and starting to find a way to survive the pending conflict. He has knowledge (local) at +6; I'm not sure what "the scourge" is (I'm not familiar with the AP beyond the high level dust jacket version), but Molabar can either go that way or be familiar with the local situation enough to be aware of a resistance. </p>

<p>I'm looking at your backgrounds and it would make sense for Hiro to hail from Ostalin. Yurggen could be from Dassen, and Zarzel's father is likely to be Shahalesti. As for Molasbar he could be either Shahalesti or from Gate Pass.</p>
<p>The adventure hook is that you are for some reason affiliated with the Gate Pass resistance. For Wolf-Sark and Zarzel that should be pretty clear, and Hiro and Molasbar will be subject to the scourge so they have reason to join just to save their own hides and escape Gate Pass. Yurggen could either be from Gate Pass or join for some other reason, but I'd like you to think about this a bit.</p>
<p>Will open the gameplay thread, but you'd better work out your motivations here as well as whether or not you know each other beforehand (it isn't necessary).</p>I don't mind Zarzel inheriting his mother's house.

Deadline is up, so markofbane, you're in. I will look your characters over and try to kick the game into gear in the next few days. </p>
<p>Just a few things: I run initiatives in a slightly peculiar way, cycling from the monster's initiative. So those of you who beat the monster get to act, then the monster acts and then you are up, in any order. To emulate delaying at the table, I will generally adjudicate your posts in the order that is most beneficial to you, so you don't have to hesitate to post in order to benefit from buffs and so on. This is to speed up play and it has worked fine before. If you don't like the way I run things, now's the time to get out.</p>
<p>The nature of the AP is such that it's not entirely easy to bring in replacements, so I really hope you'll stick around.</p>
<p>You may want to figure out whether your characters know each other beforehand and how. I will try to help you fill in the background.</p>
