Professor Lorrimor, the renowned investigator and arcanist, has died. You are headed to his home in Ravengro to pay your respects, but the Professor was a wily man, and even in death his investigations will continue--through you.
Selene and Walthus are still here as well, and both have them have been updated, though I havn't had the chance to sit and respond to your review questions! Will do later today, in a couple of hours!
Tomnus will pull out a book and start reading. It looks a little off because he looks to be a fighter type but he's reading an advanced mathematics text.
I just updated Selene's back story, when you've the chance to read it.
Howdy!
My comments below are a little more mechanically-based than usual, because a number of things caught my eye as I was going through Selene's character sheet...
###
As far as background/character concept goes, I'd like to see more of a match between the background and Selene's abysmal Charisma score. Other than being 'socially awkward', I'm not seeing a lot of examples in her history that express the effect of that low score. Is she prickly? Does she blurt out silly things when she shouldn't? (Probably not with a...
:
1, 2, and 3 and four fixed, though I did change arcane training to wizard instead of witch for mechanical purposes. (ie, Selene is an archer who make take a level of wizard later to show her effective hobby of dabbling in the arcane, and I wanted scribe scroll instead of a hex and an arcane bond with her bow instead of a familiar.)I made a few changes to her point buy system, one of which was moving the odd values around so she only has even ones and an 8 charisma instead of a 7.
5.) In answer to your question, I took Wisdom of the Flesh as much for flavor as anything else, and also to get acrobatics as a class skill (which rangers don't usually have.) It would be better if I could keep it dexterity based, and if you'd house rule that option for me I'd gladly take it.
As far as personality and history goes, I updated Selene's history to being more involved in a small Canterwall settlement (not terribly far from Ravengro) and had her be a part of the local militia to help keep the town safe from orcs and undead, ect ect. I also changed her archetype from Trapper to Urban ranger to reflect the change, and changed a lot of her personality to match up with her belittled self-image and mildly militant attitude. Any other thoughts or questions for her? *smiles*
Also, don't worry if there are some little niggling changes that you're wondering if you should make; the first day or two after the announcement of the successful party will be dedicated to sorting out party dynamics--which will include mechanics if required.
That's good. My stats are just a rough draft. I figure I wouldn't really polish it up unless I get picked. Then I will nitpick Haunrar to death to get him just right.
I just had a free moment to check out some of the applicant's and was very impressed. It would be a real pleasure to role-play with any of you folk, and if I don't make it into this game, I might just take the time to read along! I'll also just move my applications over to the other carrion crown recruitment running and maybe I'll see some of you there!
P.S. I was very sad to see that no Gnomes applied, and wish I'd had the time to roll one up! The Bleaching makes for a great plot hook for gnomes that works well with a setting like this one.
Do it! There's a real shortage of GMs, it seems. I'm GMing 2 campaigns here, and it's a lot of fun. That's about all I can handle, though. Even if you've never GMed before, you'll find the players generally very helpful.
I'm currently running...6 games on here and its very fun. The only issue is the pace in which people post...causes things to be rather slow. Hence why I'm running so many games.
Well, it's (after!) 8am, so here goes. The successful applicants are:
Flori, half-orc sorceress played by Dave Young 992
Rose Springdawn, samsaran bladebound magus played by Xzaral
Rajuna Two-Fangs, human sanctified knife master played by stormraven
Dragomir Vuk, human fighter played by Helaman
Karrik, half-orc magus played by Eben TheQuiet
Lem Longbarrow, halfling evangelist played by mbauers
Walter Vheist, human flame oracle played by Ice Titan
Theron Adrezi, human inquisitor of Iomedae played by Matrixryu
Sorry for the delayed announcement, we had some issues at home with our littlest one this morning. I would normally have been at work two hours ago!
To everyone else, thank you for your submissions and I'm sorry you didn't make it this time; it was tough whittling the numbers down from 28 to eight, let alone the original target of six. If you are after any particular feedback then feel free to ask here or by PM.
For the party, congratulations! I will have the discussion thread up momentarily; it hasn't been the best of mornings for meeting deadlines, unfortunately, but that's life with little kiddies!

Background:
Zander was born from some Noble merchant man and an unnamed woman (who died at child-birth). Zander has always been surronded by strange happening and often attracted Undeads, even becoming one once or twice (thank having a dad rich enough to pay for true resurection); after a while, his father made contact with an old "friend", Professor Petros Lorrimor about all this. for the years that followed, Zander kept in touch with the professor about this "ghostly problem" while trying to learn/do his noble duties.
When he learned of the Professor's death, Zander ditched his noble attires and duties, booked some transportation and left for Ravengro.
