Welcome! We have two players (Kenji and Lyraesel) who have been with us from the start. Other players seem to have left the boards.
Anyway, I will PM you with some more details and we can make your character's introduction after the existing PCs finish a side scene at the shrine in Brinewall (which will give you some time to get settled with your new move!).
Just to explain one factor: Shalelu has a lower-than-average Charisma score. In this case I play that as having her being very curt and having a hard time expressing her feelings. (She was hurt several times by family and loved ones in the past, after all.) Hence why she seems somewhat distant and grumpy.

I seem to be the only casual user on earth who liked windows vista. Everything after that just got annoying and too tablet-y for me to use intuitively.
Oh! Just to make sure it's clear, there's a kind of side quest in Brinewall Castle: Figure out what the heck happened!
So far you've found two important clues:
* The attic with the undead child, there were drawings that the child scrawled, showing bird-headed men and three-eyed ogres attacking the castle.
* When you came down into the tower you found a few broken and rusted remnants of weapons and armor, and scoring on some walls, consistent with a big fight.
Finding enough clues will allow you to figure out what actually happened, and is worth a story award.
You old hands probably already figured it out, but the monsters in the planning room between barracks were troglodytes, hence their nasty stench and lizard-like features!

Hey guys, hope I didn't cause too many delays. The week or so around Christmas has been kind of absolute insanity for me. I'll get back into the swing of things here.
FYI, I am probably about to be banned from the board, because Tacticslion (who as far as I can tell has some kind of super-hero-like standing on the boards) didn't like what I had to say on a thread and obliquely threatened to report me.
Oh, it's over on the thread about "Why is there no good/celestial equivalent to a succubus?" I tried to make the point that you have to examine why the succubus is considered evil, which means you have to consider the roots of how it is a demon in Judeo-Christian mythology, which means you have to look at how sexuality and morality codes in that religion inform what people consider "good" and "evil" and then use that to consider whether you can even have a "good sexy angel" equivalent.
This was immediately taken as an attack on Christians, though really I was trying to go from an anthropological perspective.
Like I noted above, I think the problem is people are taking this as some kind of attack on Christians, instead of an anthropological look at how these morality codes work.
