Hey Volsung,
I ended up recently changing my backstory a bit, assuming this works for you.
OK, the details of my motivation and backstory have shifted a bit--partly due to Cylus's inspiration, so thank you!
. . .
Kezra Tern is an Elven ranger with Sharp Eyes, Wild Hair, and a Lithe Body, traveling in Camouflage clothes that blend with the forest. She travels with her cougar companion, Lalleath .
Kezra grew up in the woods between Concave and some smaller settlements, where she was quickly developing a reputation as a hunter. This year was her first chance to enter the annual hunting competition and she was eager to prove herself. At the end of the day she (together with her cougar Lalleath) had taken down a record haul: five pheasants, a stag, and a wild boar.
Kezra stood, beaming, ready for to be awarded first prize...only to be told that she’d been disqualified due to an obscure rule no one remembered which stated that cougars were disallowed as hunting companions. Instead, the first prize went to a halfling slinger who’d brought in one beaver and four ducks.
Kezra suspects a fix but at this point is just fed up and ready to leave town...and prove her mettle in the wild.
. . .
Her profile and status bar are all set, and I'm ready to join the fun whenever makes sense.
I'm happy to be out ranging and run into the group at some cinematic point...or to meet the gang when they're back in town.
BTW, Cylus, I'll leave up to you if you were involved in the (presumed) hunting games fix. You're welcome to have even been the judge, if you want more backstory together. On the extreme end of entanglement, it might be amusing to have Kezra join the party to get away from you (and Conclave in general)...only to have you show up minutes after she's agreed to join them.
Alternately, I'm happy to leave it as them having had no interaction and just being suspicious due to his demeanor.
Either way, I'm looking forward to diving in!
Just noticed the chat earlier in this thread about Tavern Keeper. Are we making the switch or sticking around here for a while? I'm all for trying the new hotness, but this works as well. :)
that was a while ago, when the site was being pretty bad. I think we've decided to stay, for the moment.
also, Cylus' first post is up.
Okay cool. I will make sure to post today.
Hey guys, I've been crazy busy this weekend doing camping prep. And, I will be gone until Wednesday night camping. Be back Thursday.
No worries. Have a great trip!
Enjoy!
I'm doing some traveling 8/10-8/14, so Cylus might be a bit quiet. Which is hard for him. He likes to talk. :)
Loot and hard cut to caravan?
I don't think Tera has introduced himself (or been introduced by someone else) to Kezra yet, if you want to play that out. I was waiting to reply to the other intros until Tera got a chance to say something.

If anyone is interested, I'm kinda doing a fun little one-off.
Let's get this craziness started.
Sigh. I'm sorry to be so slow recently. I'm in the midst of a brutal writing phase at work + some back to back travel and house guests.
I'm happy to head back to town, get the whole party together, and get moving. I'll try to keep up better, but in the near term I'm still not going to be at my best because of my work writing demands.
Thanks for understanding!

Sorry guys... I don't think I can keep this going.
I kinda was waiting for you guys to get back to the caravan, and I figured another one of my campaigns was getting kinda hectic, so I'd let you guys do introductions on your own... then you didn't, and I knew I should get you going, but by then, I had lost the momentum for this campaign. And I waited, hoping to get some spark, because I was afraid that, two days after I disbanded the campaign, i would have a brilliant idea, so I put it off... but I think it's time to call it. sorry. It isn't fair, and I was having a lot of fun, and I'm especially sorry to the newbies, because I know you were excited, but I just, I don't have the momentum anymore, and I igured you deserved at least an explanation
sorry, I really am.
No worries, I totally understand. Thanks for the time and effort you put in - this was fun while it lasted!
I completely understand.
Be well and perhaps I'll see yall around the boards.
