Do we have Galia with us still? She hasn't posted in a while - hate to think we've lost a player after 4 days.
Still here. Posting when there's action to respond to.

Galia sighs and says, "Will you guys quit playing grabby with the envelope and share the wonderful news of what we're being tasked with? The sun marches towards zenith and I haven't eaten. Let's figure out what wonderful tasks we've been entrusted with and get moving so that I can get something to eat."
Oh, the suspense is terrible. I hope it'll last.
It would seem that barbarians have fallen out of favor with the fine folks around these parts. Galias does not know why. Truth be told, she doesn't even really know this is actually happening. She only thinks of one thing: hunting and killing monsters. Oh, and finding her father, and possibly killing him. Wait, I suppose that's 2 things. Or is it?
Among Galia's few possessions is a cowbell. To any normal passerby, it looks like a normal cowbell. Meant to be hung around the lead cow and used in the herding of cows. It is made of brass, has a faint smell of leather, polish, and heather, and has many dings. But this is no ordinary cowbell. It is a loud cowbell. It goes all the way to 11! If there's a gap in the group, a lack in the pack, a missing piece in the party puzzle that can only be filled by cowbell, then Galia's the right barbarian for the job.
Here's a fairly standard Barbarian for your consideration. While I've read the beginning and end after getting my copy of the re-release, the middle is a mystery to me!
My fairly straight-forward barbarian. I'll adjust the stats, of course, for DaWay's game should he need to step up. Best of luck to you all.
Were you only taking 3? If you're allowing more, I'd like to join your campaign. Galia:
Description:
A haughty, distrustful woman, she stands 5'8". While a half-elf by birth, her childhood taught her to hide her elven side, and she takes great pains to disguise her elven features. Dark auburn hair frames a usually stern demeanor. Her leather armor contains a few indistinct emblems from her (former) tribe. Background:
Born the product of a rape, she learned early of her families shame. While she was adopted by the tribal chief, to whose sister she was born, she nevertheless suffered insults and disgrace from her peers. As she reached the age of 14, when a mate was to be chosen for her, she learned the true nature of her father. Her hatred for men grew, and not wanting to be given to just any man, she decided to leave the clan and search for her father, who was rumored to be a monster hunter, living now far to the south. She set out after him, searching out rumors of local monsters in the hopes of finding him hunting the same beast. She eventually began teaching herself to hunt monsters as well and found she has developed a taste for it. She is "hunting" nearby on suspicion that he may be in the area. Her intentions toward him are as yet unclear.

I hear having barbarians join your group is all the rage.
For your consideration from a first time PBPer, Galia Hartswift. An outcast bastard child from the barbarians of the north. Description:
A haughty, distrustful woman, she stands 5'8". While a half-elf by birth, her childhood taught her to hide her elven side, and she takes great pains to disguise her elven features. Dark auburn hair frames a usually stern demeanor. Her leather armor contains a few indistinct emblems from her (former) tribe. Background:

She set out after him, searching out rumors of local monsters in the hopes of finding him hunting the same beast. She eventually began teaching herself to hunt monsters as well and found she has developed a taste for it. She is "hunting" near Sandpoint on suspicion that he may be in the area. Her intentions toward him are as yet unclear. Crunch: Besides her reflexes honed as a child of the wilderness, she also has the "Monster Hunter" trait gained from her hunt of her father.
