Here's the link to the recruitment I set up. We'll proceed with gameplay, for now. I would appreciate your comments and concerns regarding potential candidates once we start getting hits.
CTK is good, I'm with the player in a 5E Hoard of the Dragon Queen that seems to have been abandoned by the dm. But from what I've seen is good at keeping a posting schedule, communication, and rp.
Herri, it was good to play with you for a bit, may our dice cross paths another time. Good luck and fair travels out there.
Aww, I like the dwarf cleric... get our numbers up :P
No, no more dwarves :P
That's a lot of dwarves, I like it.
One of us, one of us.
So, it seems to be between Cardboard Tube Knight, whose character is not fleshed out at all, or Togog the dwarven cleric.
Too many dwarfs on the dance floor.
We'll have to come up with a suitable replacement for brodeo to make that work, Elaina.
Never enough dwarf, too much elf sure, but never enough dwarf.
Been a long day. I'll have some updates for you guys tomorrow. Cardboard Tube Knight submitted an Oracle of Life to compete against the dwarven cleric Togog.. What say you all?
If Togog joins we would have too many dwarves.
If CTK joins we would have too many girls.
Either way there would be no one to get things off the top shelf.
I have a weapon with reach, just stick some glue or gum on the hammer and bam stuff off the top shelf.
There, I let them know the party make-up if they want to change anything.
I liked CTK's oracle before I realized it was a female.
I want another female even less than I want another dwarf.
If you have too many guys trying to play girls, it just never ends well. I occasionally get rather annoyed with how they try to portray them.
Dashing crazy chaos girl or simmering damsel of seduction... yeah, those get old fast. Although, if we pick up another lady I see a belt of masculinity/femininity in Nover's future.
Looks like we just had a third party interested. We'll keep it open until tonight, then make a decision. Everyone on board?
On board. Maybe we will get a better option. :)
Choo choo, all aboard.
Alrighty, any comments on who we should bring on board?
I like the shaman because I haven't seen one played before and it's not a dwarf and it's not a girl.
I vote for the dwarf cleric, originally we were limited to core classes and he built something that will certainly help along the original guidelines.
That's Nepotism Nover. You're racist.
But if we're sticking to the original build rules, I also vote for the dorph.
Nepotism would require an actual blood relation. We just happen to know a guy who knows a guy. That being said, I wasn't able to bring in a goblin alchemist disguised as a halfling who hates other goblins, so core build please. :P
Also, none of us worship the dwarven god of dwarf stereotypes... which I think is kind of funny.
I will second that whoever is chosen should be using the same rules regarding character creation that we did.
Ok, I will extend an invite to Togog, then. :)
It is an honour to accompany such companions into battle.
Huzzah for dwarf number 3!
Hmmmmm...let's see. Would you like to be Enna's cousin, perhaps, or a relation of Nover's? That would give you ample reason to come looking for them in the Glassworks.
Go ahead and read through the Gameplay thread and get caught up, if you would like.
Or maybe Enna has a stalker and he has been looking for her so that he can declare his undieing love to her?
Or Nover, we are all open-minded here. :)
Ha, well it's up to you, Togog. Relative of Nover/Enna, or secret admirer of Nover/Enna! Or any other option you prefer, as long as it makes sense. For replacements like this, it's best to not fret over the details too much.
You could burst gloriously through the foundation of the building. That's how dwarves are born, right?
No no Elaina, they spring forth as babes from their mother's beard of course. His first drink after his first breath is a baby bottle filled with weak ale.
My exit shall be to leave behind my troubles here as I received a message from a very good friend and Paladin of Iomedae summoning me back to Magnimar. Magnimar is my home town and where my story began.
Maybe Herri can say hello from time to time. Sorry all I hope the dwarf clan works well.
Of course I will stay on until new blood arrives.
No bad wishes, Herri. Real life happens, nothing to be done about it. Surely we don't want you to neglect your RL stuff just to play a game. :) Come drop by anytime. We'll give you a rousing sendoff after you guys stomp these goblins.
Wow... dwarves really have a rough time. Togog's family - killed in giant attack. Nover's family - killed in goblin attack. Enna's family - killed in drow attack. Dwarves really must spring out of the ground fully grown, because they sure aren't surviving long enough for anything else.
It's probably more straightforward if he's Nover's cousin. He'd hoped the army would help Nover through his traumatic experience, but he's taken the chance to get back in touch since Nover left. He blames himself for not being more of a counsellor before, and for his own self-absorption in his anti-giant quest - though it's still a flaw in his character.
Does that sound okay Nover?
Can I just... charge right in at the glass factory?
Sure...let the current PC's finish this round, I'll post the goblin actions, then we'll have you plow through the Glassworks in search of your cuz.
Okay! Going to bed soon though.
Man, the bad luck is strong with us.
I told you guys this was gonna happen. We've reached dwarf critical mass! Code Red Code Red!
This is not dwarf critical mass, if we were all from the same clan with long beards that flow freely in the wind as we prance would be dwarf critical mass.
Herri, thank you so much for sticking with us through that horrible combat. Good luck with everything, and if you ever get some free time again, let us know! :)
Feel free to post an exit to Magnimar.
Are 'ye calling me heavy, lass?
It was a great finish for Herri, I will add my exit soon.
Thank you for finishing the fight, good luck with everything
Thanks for playing Herri, and making a timely exit. Best of luck with work and stuff.
Fairly soon my hours will be changing, I'll still be posting but not into the wee hours of the night anymore.
I'll have a map update tonight.
What I meant was I didn't have stonecunning, I can however 5ft step over rubble.
