I am fine with what ever you choose, if you need a ruling let me know.
You can never have enough swords in a party. I may favor the axe but....another sword arm is good.
Alright, I decided to not do too dramatic a rework (though I still have this idea for a Druid I want to play in a Kingmaker game sometime). Went with Eldritch Archer. Somebody's got to keep the bad guys heads down while you lunks close the distance. lol
Archer buddies, sweet.
New players if you can connect to each other that would be great, being related to just helping each other get to the Stolenlands or somewhere in between. Have fun and PM me when you have your introduction post ready.
Maybe Nemana and Liam met up in the stolen lands? Liam could have been attacked and had an archer and her psychopomp wolf that happened to be nearby come to the aid of another of Erastil's faithful. Or vice versa, with Nemana and Wolf being in trouble until the bad guys catch on fire.
Do we want three archer buddies (a Drow Slayer) so we have a good back game and for game...or do we want a crotchity dwarven warpriest?
Whichever you feel more excited about playing, I suppose. They lived through this much without any sort of party balance. It's not like we NEED to have the perfect ratio of ranged to melee, or even that we want it. Just do whatever.
Hmmm the Slayer will be easier to tie in. With all three of us worshiping Erastil, two of us being Divine servants of a matter (One a paladin, one a Deliverer), and all three of us being woodsmen and rangers it'd be interesting.
But is Drow a commonly accepted race in the region, or will he be attacked on sight? :D
Hoping for not attacked on sight >.>...but am putting ranks in disguise all the same and hoping my fellow rangers vouch for me.
Was there background skills on this campaign. I don't think there was as I could be mixing up the two recruitments.
Here is the character crunch for now I need to work with the other two for fluff.
Depending on how the GM sees Drow and how they relate to everything (If it's like Forgotten Realms or other) I will say he would be probably a Drow that as a child was part of a coming of age attack on the surface world and was 'slain' in battle. He had a guardian angel (so to speak, given the Celestial Blessing) that prevented his death and he was adopted by the elves. He was taught the ways, yadda yadda, and became used his martial prowess to become a divine instrument even though he himself was not blessed by the divine...just had a divine experience. Thoughts?
Nemana's soulbound to the spirit of a dead wolf that turned into a psychopomp. She isn't gonna throw stones just because your skin is a few shades darker than most elves. Especially since you're doing your best to serve Erastil, because honestly who doesn't love the god of community and hunting?
Good good, best to not be racist. Also...beware I have a weasel(Ermine) that is trained to find shiny things on dead people...I have no handle animal so this might go poorly and he might steal from people >.>
(I'm lazy as a player so I typically at character gen buy a weasel to pick up gold off dead people cause I forget to say I'm searching the bodies...some GMs are sticklers..but I found they are good fluff too, plus you get to make them tiny backpacks and and make them wear Sherlock Holmes hats.)
As far as an Enemy for him, all reptilian kind (Kobolds, Dragons, Lizardfolk)
I have no problems with what has been discussed.
Alright...I have updated my profile with his crunch and backstory. GM if you would like to peruse and validate I would appreciate it. Nemana I added a bit of a narrative to tie our two characters together so if you will also take a look at the backstory (The last paragraph if you feel it's TLDR for the whole thing.)
Drow? Fair warning, Koldur is a dwarf that is unapologetic at times and has more insert foot in mouth incidents alone then the entire party combined.
He's not out to say things that are hurtful but being ignorant of some things, he blurts out what he thinks.
He sin't racist or anything since he has had an adventuring training company somewhere up in the mountains.
Do not worry, nearly 2/3 of my dwarves are surely uncouth men who tell terribly racist jokes. It happens with Dwarves, them poncy elves always skirting about.
It also doesn't help that in an at table game I have a Dwarf who has hatred trees (one done leap from the ground and killed his grandfather you know. Can't turn your back on em).
As long as no one is evil :)
That is true, I forgot to think about the characters. A drow will get a lot of guff from everyone except maybe Reknar. Hopefully he can prove himself soon.
I'm actually going to be reworking mine into a Druid. Still of Erastil though, so we could be some sort of group that knew each other from religious circles, I suppose.
Reknar usually measures people by their actions, so he may act that way even with a drow... Maybe :D
But we ARE in a Dwarven keep, are we not? That should be fun ;)
Oscar is even more simple in that regard. And it usualy comes doing to a single "Bip" or not ;)
Sorry for taking ages to post, GM wolf advised I should build a Fire Kineticist (Tharsiph/Gird) and I have
So if you want it and need it here he is.
Alright, all fixed up and ready to go when y'all are.
Also prepared. Though I am a bit stumped on how to connect to the hobgoblin as Nemana... does not like goblinoids.
LOL, another hobgoblin for the group! No worries Hykan, you had to make a whole new character.
I know where Hykan I will be coming in. He will be on his own.
The rest of you figure out where you want to meet the group. Either camped and they will find you or something else.
I am game for the good old campfire meeting or mid battle savior routine.
I'm happy with either of those options.
I'd prefer the campfire meeting, so that we can interact with eachother without death looming over us immediately. Also we can have tense standoffs. Wolf can be standing guard near the campsite and scare someone a little, maybe. He speaks the common tongue, and anything Nemana does actually, so how do you guys think you'd react to a smoky wolf with a bone-white mask and a rune on its head descending partway down a tree and asking what your business is?
Hey Nemana.. tis easy your loss was due to goblins.. I'm much talker and not a psychotic murder machine like a goblin. As a paladin you should have no problems accepting I might be good.. you'd still be cautious but not shoot on sight like.
Campfire meeting is best. We already have 2 hired hobgoblins and having one more is fine. Koldur is more open minded then most having trained more then quite a few adventurers in his life.
Probably the best way since you have a hobgoblin and we have a work agreement with the one with us is having Hykan be related / good friend with them.
Would make things easier

Yeah, I just wasn't sure how to make a pre-game connection with you.
No worries, I got it planned from what you have said so far. I will either PM you when to enter or let you know here.
New players please post if you have a enemy of choice, if you set any traps when camping, make anymore connections between each other and be ready with your description. You will likely be coming in soon.
Reptilians (Dragons, Kobolds, and Lizardfolk...and possibly anything in between that would remind him of such).
No traps, he is a very light sleeper.
Goblinoids are Nemana's enemy of choice.
She doesn't set traps, but she takes the first watch with Wolf. I've got a post ready for if I am on watch and an idea for one if I'm not on watch.
I will be away Friday through Sunday for camp, you will be lucky if I get any posting in during that time. I may not be able to get any more posting in until Monday.
Liam hates anything that perverts nature, but especially evil outsiders. No traps, but I can memorize Campfire Wall if the party would like. He prefers to take first or last watch, but can take whatever the party needs.
How...have I never seen this one...that's a flipping great spell.
Koldur is fine with any time since I don's have a set time to prepare spells.
Sorry it has been hectic in my life. I have been setting up my classroom, vacations, summer school and lack of sleep. I will post when I have time but out with family and on the beach this weekend. I should be back Tuesday to my normal schedule.
Gotcha.
Take your time to rest.
I had a great time, now back to the grind... Sorry my teaching job had me do so many trainings and I have been putting my new classroom together, it has only taken about 50 hours so far... :(
Anyways I hope to still be making at least a post a day.
More time setting up my class and then crashing hard... Sorry for the lack of posts.
New players please post here one more time your camp setup and please spoiler it! Thanks!
Present players what are your plans for the near future?
Jevar would likely take last shift to take advantage of his low light vision. Though can take other if needed. He would be hiding up in a tree if possible to watch from for his watch, just as it's easier to hide keep out of range of most pesky animals or sword wielding lunatics. Otherwise, he would enjoy the use of a tent when able.
Hykan would take the miďdle watch as he doesn't need spellsleep and he has dark vision.
