Alright, this is for all OOC banter and such. I'll open the main game later in the day once everyone has checked in here.
While you all wait, how about you come up with ways your characters know each other. Maybe they don't. Maybe they've known each other on-again off-again thanks to Gundren! The ideas are there!
Thanks for choosing my submission DM. Heading to the gym now. When I get a chance I will review other players submissions and see if any hooks come to me to tie us together.
Thanks for the selection. Hi everyone!
Group backstory discussion:
Personally, I imagined Nariella being fairly new to the group. However, if anyone wants to have known her ahead of time or if the group has worked together before, it certainly wouldn't break anything in her backstory.
Reading through the other backstories, Nariella might be aware of Peren and his family (being a former elven spy), even if the two have never met. As for the others, I am open to any suggestions.
Thanks for picking me!
As an occasional hireling of Gundren's, I may well have met some of you once or twice.
Side note: If players put some of their most-referenced stats in their "Classes/Levels" line, it'll get displayed in the Gameplay thread and be easy for the GM to reference. :)
ok..here is my Alias....
I would most likely know anyone who has worked previously for Gundren, as I have hired on with him before (as per my background)
Nice backstories, everybody! Should be interesting to see what will happen when Nariella's trust issues cross paths with the document I can't let anyone look at...
Wonderful! You all have checked in now! Gonna go ahead and open the game thread.
I would say that I have met Arrius as a fellow worker and become familiar with Peren as a client of Gundren's. I don't suspect I would have met Nariella yet.

It's a secret document...OF EVIL!
Hey DM, is it okay if I use my trinket (multicolored stone disk) as my arcane focus instead of using one of the default ones? My starting gear gives me a freebie anyway, so I'm not asking for something extra, just thought it'd be a fun way to incorporate my trinket into gameplay. :)

This is probably true, even if my character doesn't know it yet. Such is the warlock class... :/

Sure, I don't see why not. Not much of a change, anyway!
Thanks!
This totally slipped my mind during recruitment, but I can't view GoogleDocs (or a great many other things) from work. I got a peek at the map before I left for work this morning, but until I'm home I can't look at any fresh developments or move my token.
My own 5E campaign that I'm running doesn't use maps, so it didn't even occur to me to bring that up. Hopefully it won't be too disruptive, since 5E is pretty friendly to mapless combat. Sorry for the surprise. :/
Forgot to mention:
I am in a similar situation to Arrius, regarding the map. I can't get to GoogleDocs at work. I can view the map if I use my cellphone, but I still can't move pieces. I can move my piece when I get home, in a few hours.
I know the feel. I may just throw up a map on another site and then we can use 'theater of the mind' for the rest, though I'll use the googledocs for a lot of my bookkeeping.
I hope we handled that opening volley alright. Everybody does ambushes and surprise rounds differently, so kind of just took a guess. :)
Sorry, just got back home. My DM in real life had his birthday this weekend and ended up doing a 40 hour adventure throughout.
Going to bed now, will be on in a few hours to catch up and post.

I had a great weekend with my daughter though so I will say its a push. :-)
I have added a list of important NPCs on the campaign info tab.
Just to be clear on my idea, lest I accidentally "trap" the GM: If there's not too many of the mercenaries, I figure we can hire them to help us find Gundren. Meanwhile, if they're with us, they're not bothering the townsfolk. If one happens to fall in battle, then that just makes our next task that much easier.
So really, it's a way to keep the mercs out of people's hair until we can get around to dealing with them, while simultaneously reducing risk to ourselves.
Catching up now. Busy weekend with the missus and parents. Once sec...
Learned a lesson: I hate apartments where the tenants use harsh chemicals to try and kill bugs without management approval.
Just got out of hospital after night of extreme difficulty in breathing. One second.
Cripes, hope you're okay. O_O
Glad you are feeling better DM!
Yikes...sounds like a rough time...
Yeah, feel worse for my dog. Poor things has had a cough all day. Have it on the back porch so it can breath easy. All the windows are open and I borrowed fans from the family to help blow out the place.
Thankfully it looks like my insurance will pick up the tab save a flat $40 for check-in fees. Hopefully my next neighbors won't be as stupid!
Glad you are better!!

It amuses me that a survival check of 3 landed in the wrong thread. :)
Yeah, for whatever reason Paizo was not letting me post my survival roll last night. I must have tried to post in gameplay 10 different times. I think I tried posting in discussion to see if it would take. I thought it didn't work, but I guess it did...haha.
I finally got it to post today by adding gibberish and then editing it out.
Also, side note: If 10 different survival checks of 19 show up in gameplay, I apologize.
FYI, I'll be traveling this weekend, so it's possible I might not get to post on Saturday or Sunday.
FYI, I am traveling for work from Tuesday through Thursday, my posting over those few days may be spotty as a result.
Sorry, got dragged from one end of the state to the next for mother's day (my own mother and then my fiancee's mother). I'll catch up once I sleep a bit...
Will have an update in just a short bit!

Not to be a pest, but given this website's propensity for devouring people's posts (especially long ones), it seems prudent to point out that no such update has thus far appeared.
Sorry! Posted but it appears to have eaten that post. As for yesterday, had to bug out of town for a family even and didn't notice it. Going to be stepping up the post rare now, though. Realized just how slow this has been, and I apologize.
Alright, time to get to it.
I am buried under a significant amount of work for Friday and on Friday night I will be running my table top Forgotten Realms game. Saturday I have a number of errands to run. Please DMPC me as needed until this Saturday evening. Thank you.
Will do and thank you for the heads up!
Due to a death in the family, I will be offline for the next two to three days. I apologize for the inconvinience and I thank you for your understanding.
No worries, sorry for the loss. Take care of yourself.
I learned a lot over the last few days. Most of it not good. Important life lesson though: Always have a Last Will and Testament.
Sorry for the absence, the funeral and otehr things bogged up. I am just not back in town. I will catch up and post tomorrow once I've had a good nights sleep. Thank you for understanding.
Sorry to hear you are having a rough time. Take you time and thanks for keeping us posted.
No worries take your time RL is more important than anything we are doing here.
No worries, take care of yourself.
Thank you all for being understanding. Now for the updates!
I will be away from tomorrow (Tuesday) through Saturday on vacation. Please DMPC me as necessary. Thank you.
I'm still around and checking, although every game I am in seems to have gone worryingly quiet over the last few weeks and I am going to be disappearing for a vacation in about in week.
I know the GM had some personal stuff going on, so I am hoping that things will pick up again eventually. However, I guess we can only wait and see.
