DM Dr Evil's RotRL Group B Re-recruitment - looking for one player to join group (Inactive)

Game Master DM DoctorEvil

Thank you for the votes! ^_^ I must admit, this has been a surprisingly exciting recruitment endeavor, lol.

.. as for the next task.. I smell a trick question. o.o

Korvek trudges across the small bridge crossing the Curandarok river, pausing at its peak to rest his axe on his boot and scan the town. The sun was nearing the horizon by now, but that didn't concern the dwarf. He had reached town before the dangers of nightfall, and he was eager to sit properly and enjoy a proper meal and a drink. He grins at the thought, swinging his heavy weapon back up over his shoulder as he continues into the town. Wandering straight down the first street his boots strike, Korvek soon approaches the Rusty Dragon, a large 3-story to his right. Certainly not the iron walls of Janderhoff but they would do.

Stepping inside, the dwarf is assaulted by the smells of spices. Having already been ravenous, his stomach instantly growls. Korvek pauses briefly to look around before meeting the gaze of the Ulfen man behind the bar. The dwarf grins, perhaps the coincidence of the eyepatch was an omen that he was in the right place? Regardless he steps inside and approaches the bar. "Velcome to the Rusty Dragon. Vhat ees your pleasure?”

Korvek clambers onto a barseat, setting his axe to lean against it down between his legs. He gives the bartender a grin. "That explains why ye haven't shined that thing up, doesn' it?" He chuckles. "Er was this once tha Shiny Dragon, but easier ta rename than maintain?" The dwarf laughs lightly (duration depending on the bartenders reaction) before continuing. "Well met! Seems we have somethin' in common." He flicks the eyepatch covering his ruined eye. "Perhaps some time ye'll share tha tale, but fer now ah'd like a meal an' a room." The dwarfs grin returns, wider than before. ".. An' keep the ale comin. Ah've had a long walk, and worked up a thirst!"

Davorik kept looking down at the piece of paper in his hand.

Take the first right once you come to the temple of Erastil. Keep going down until you see the blacksmith. Take a left and go past the fletcher. Another block down you will see the Rusty Dragon on the right. If you reach the bridge spanning the Sellen River you have gone too far.

Surely he was on the right path that the caravan master indicated. He saw the blacksmith and the fletcher but where was the tavern that Master Shinn told him about? Things were sure different away from home. Everything was much larger and more crowded than he expected. He kept clutching his purse reflexively, hearing too many stories of quick hands and unwary people. He was not going to another statistic in the big city.

Suddenly Davorik caught the sound of music and laughter. Traveling another 100 feet she could make out the sign overhanging the doorway. At last. I need a good meal and some relaxation. The last month of traveling with the caravan was long work with long hours. At least it is over now.. Entering the inn Davorik takes a quick look around before he takes any action. It paid to be cautious in a new area even if the place was recommended by Shinn. Not seeing anything out of the ordinary, Davorik makes his way slowly to a table where he can see the entrance.

Once there he relaxes a bit as he accustomed himself to the Rusty Dragon. Across the room he sees what must be a group of Dwarven explorers with mugs piled high on the table. Not understanding anything from across the room Davorik looks at those closer. A couple is sitting nearby laughing at a private conversation, 3 elves are relaxing at the bar drinks in hand, a group of people standing around the fireplace talking and some dancing to the music. All in all a festive place and one that is comfortable. That is except for the single man two tables away from him. The man was alone and from Davorik could tell was drinking nothing than water. He had a hard look about him and it wasn't just from the heavy flail tht rested by him. It was the fact that no one approached him and few even looked his way. Davorik ordered a meal of roast beef, potatoes and a loaf of bread with butter. A the young lass delivered the food Davorik asked, Who is that 2 tables over?

I don't know but he paid with foreign currency. He is not from around here that much I can tell you. with that she walked away to leave Davorik to his musings. Although Davorik wanted to give the guy the benefit of the doubt, his training and upbringing as a member of the city guard would not let him ignore the man. If the man tried something unlawful Davorik would be ready to intercede with blade and shield if necessary.

As a young man from a small town Davorik is cautious at first when in a new location. It also causes him to be a bit shy until he gets comfortable with his surroundings. When presented with a possible threat Davorik is not afraid to meet it head on if action is called for but is patient enough to scope out the situation first before rushing in.

The anticipation is killing me. @.@ I've been checking the thread feverishly all day, lol. I have way too much time on my hands these days. XD

O.o.... was my posting for Anaach the start of this Interaction in a Bar thing? if so COOL!, if not... interesting coincidence anyway...Lol, to Korvek: I cant wait to see who wins either

Nope, coincidence. :) DM basically asked us to each provide an intro post to the Rusty Dragon, the Inn where I believe the original party first met.

I was kinda asking if my thing was the Dm's inspiration

Oh, lol. Could be. ^_^

I guess it was just coincidence Death Keeper, just wanted an example of posting/writing style.

After much deliberation, and a missed flight and several hours stuck in traffic in Houston. I have reached a decision. It was hard and the applications where all good, but I think we'll go with:

Korvek

Mainly his newness and enthusiasm won me over. I am a little worried about over-dwarfing the party with him and Rogar, but it's a risk we'll take.

Korvek, you can report to the Discussion tab of the main thread linked here

DM Variel - I sent you a PM so keep an eye out for it.

Hooray! :D

Well fought, Davorik. Til next we meet.

Congratulations!

Hooray! :D

Well fought, Davorik. Til next we meet.

gratz

Thanks! ^_^

Good luck Korvek and hopefully you survive long enough to enjoy everything. I will get in a RotRL eventually and a CotCT. PbP are always popping up.

Again have fun all and there is always next time.

So on the 1 year anniversary of our campaign, our wizard gave notice and left the game for RL personal reasons.

We are now looking for 1 arcane type character at level 4 to join the group. You can see the character creation rules on the first post of this thread (Just have to update for 4th level now). The starting wealth will be something like 3,000 gp, based on what the party has so far.

The party is now Cadas (a human cleric of Gozreh), Robin (a halfling court bard), Rogar (a shield bashing dwarven ranger), and Korvek (a dwarven fighter). Gameplay thread is tagged here. It is a good, long-running campaign, I encourage only those who want to be here for the long haul to apply.

The characters are nearly done with the first book of the AP, working their way through the 2nd level of Thistletop. It may be a bit before we can work you into the game once selected (as you're likely not standing in the middle of the dungeon waiting for them.)

Ideally, we would have selections done within a week.

bump

Dotting for interest.

I might have something that would work. Looking for another arcane caster yes?

Edit: core only, will fix him to be sorceror only.

Question, do feats like point blank shot affect ranged spells?

This is GM Niles's Sorceror, I haven't spent any money on him yet but I'll finish the sheet if chosen.

Eric the wizard, Korvek's RL friend.

Almost done with the back story I'll post with the character once I complete it.

I missed the creation requirements somehow, ignore that last post... I'm just making a new Wizard

Question, do feats like point blank shot affect ranged spells?

yes that tree of feats works on spells if they have an attack and damage component.

This is GM Niles's Sorceror, I haven't spent any money on him yet but I'll finish the sheet if chosen.

So far you are the only complete applicant. I eyeballed your build and it looks okay, though I haven't tested it in Hero Lab yet. Thanks for the submission and you are the man to beat at present.

The interest here appears limited, let's say we close recruitment on Monday night and have a selection on Tuesday. Okay?

I may have something but I need to level up the character.

I know you are looking for an arcane caster, but I have an Oracle with the wind mystery in mind.

also I am in a couple other runelord games. but they have some amount of customization involved.

Edward, your chances of getting are less if you don't have arcana caster, much less. Core only. Your choices are sorceror or wizard or a multi-class of both.

OK here is my character. and like was pointed out it is nothing like what you are looking for but I thought I would toss it in here anyway, see what happens.

I don't have much of a chance but what the heck, maybe I'll get some feedback at the very least.

Done with the backstory but I only have a part of it on my laptop, I'll have to get home to post it.

Here is the character I am going with. Good luck everyone.

Well, this is certainly interesting. My game has been stalled with no GM contact for a month now, and I just announced my departure there. And behold, a game needs an arcane caster, level 4 no less, which Thalrik is.

Submitting Thalrik for consideration. Will need to repurchase equipment ofcourse, but I will hold off on doing so until I am possibly chosen.

Cheers.

My Wizard at long last!

I don't have much of a chance but what the heck, maybe I'll get some feedback at the very least.

Character looks good imo. Normally id comment on losing a caster level on the summoner multiclass, but since its for background ill leave that out.

Really the only comment id have it...A bipedal cat?

yea it walks and talks and has a snobby attitude as well

my original idea for Darla

yea it walks and talks and has a snobby attitude as well

Ah, roger. Wasnt really apparent in the background.

thanks will have to fix that, was a little rushed trying to get the application in on time

Was selection done by PM or did something get in the way of the monday/tuesday selection?

I think our GM has been a bit busy. Hang in there!

A few of the players have offered their input, and I have taken a little longer than expected to make a decision.

Really wanted an arcane caster to fit in with the party, which includes a cleric, a ranger, a fighter, and a bard. Any non-arcane types have a strike against them, and that eliminates Edward Sobel's submission.

The party already has a CHA based character, Robin, and the group was hoping the arcanist we picked would have skills to craft items, which takes higher INT. This eliminated the sorcerors submitted.

Finally, the choice came down to Thalrik and Malcolm. While Thalrik has more pbp experience and has run the first parts of Runelords with his old campaign, I think I am choosing Malcolm.

He is RL friends with one of our players, has not played much PBP before, and is raring to play. Plus I like his build slightly better.

Thalrik - best of luck finding a new game! I think you just missed the cut for this game twice now...Hope you find something that suits you and you'll be the first one I call if things don't work out.

Oh well, never expected selection anyway.

I hope to make you all proud. *Bows to Thalrik.* I honestly thought you would get it, man.

Good luck to you all with the campaign.

Eh, probably have to start at level 1 whenever new game comes up.
