Here is my character so far; let me know how it looks.
Oh ye is lookin' right naffy! An' ye has a right dapper hat! (^_^)
As for character pages? Heck, as I messaged before, if you want simply copy/paste some one else' page that takes your fancy and swap out the stats. (^_~)

Nice; am all ready to go then. I could get to the island several ways; say maybe the ship I was on went down and I ride to the island on my sea chest with a paddle or some such hehe kind of Pirates of the Carribeanesk.
ok; so my Hp's are 10,10,5,7,5,5,10,5,5 +18 for con; so 80; yippee!

Paddy, one easy way to get you in the fight is for your ship to have wrecked in the past few weeks. Your role onboard is up to you (cabin boy to captain, your call). You reached shore with a few other crew members but were quickly captured by the cyclops (you were exhausted to the point of near death by the swim). The cyclops have been holding you chained up in their larder since. Your effects just out of reach. Now you hear a commotion outside and smell the smell of magic in the air, could this be your chance at escape....

I believe we are hoping for another one of your crewmates to wake up... hopefully a cleric
Male Human Swashbuckler 10
hehe that would be nice; I am all fighter.
Male Human Swashbuckler 10
I asked, by way of text, a few of my RL gaming buds if they want to play a cleric; will see what they say.
Male Human Expert 1 Warrior 1
Have them pop on over to the recruitment thread with a build if they are interested.
Male Human Expert 1 Warrior 1
Paddy, they have almost taken out the cyclopses, should have you in this by the end of the weekend.
Male Human Swashbuckler 10
cool :) I was once in a RL game and it took the gm 5 months to get me in (so I played a lot of Civ II on his computer) so no worries; just hope the party decides to help me.
Male Human Expert 1 Warrior 1
Knowing the party, they will.

I am closing recruitment at the end of the weekend. I would like you all to PM me Monday with your vote.
Thanks

Please remember to submit your votes for who will be joining us by Private Message today. :)

can you post the names of who we are voting on? I am not sure, but really makes no difference to me.
Male Efreeti, advanced manthing 45HD
wow not many posts last few days
Island Elf(link)
Aye, realy life can be gettin' tha' bestest of peoples. *Nods*

well; school starts for lot of peeps in a few weeks; maybe back to normal then as people get back to the grind and back from vacations and such.

Guillaume has won the voting and will be joining us. With his consent, I will place him in the larder as one of the unconscious prisoners you have just come across. Work has been overwhelming these past few days. Plus I wanted to give our new crew member the opportunity to join us at this juncture. It gives a logical reason for why they would join.

Yay! *Does happy, skippy fun dance of joining/welcome*
More people's ta be playin' with!
Best wishes and much cheers to every one and may we all cross paths some time in the future.

Guillaume, if you don't mind, I would like to have you amongst the prisoners the cyclops had shackled in the room the party just came across. Your effects would have been across the room just out of reach. It would be up to you and Paddy as to whether you knew each other before or whether you were from different ships. If this is amenable to you jump over to the gameplay forum as your character stirs back to the land of the conscious.

Male Human Swashbuckler 10
this predisposes you and I know each other well
Male Tiefling Bloodrager 4 (Primalist, Steelblood)
Perhaps. Guillaume hasn't been staying anywhere too long, and is pretty tight-lipped about his origins, so I doubt he'd know anyone *too* well.

we have been on ship together and in this cage
Despite all your rage, you're still just a.....

Gm; is this cyclops within sight of Gully and I? how far is it? I took that fight to be some distance away.
Male Human Expert 1 Warrior 1
After the fight the cyclops has moved a bit closer as the group grouped up. It is cautiously eager for some of the offered healing.
Male Human Swashbuckler 10
are we all restored and good to go or are there any lingering game effects?
