Recruitment is now closed, I hope to review the characters over the weekend and make selections either late Sunday or Monday.

Though my kids are a bit ill at the moment, so if I'm late bear with me.


Taking offense at the man who's essentially laughing in his face, Raymond starts to get a little heated.

"What? What's so funny? You don't think they could throw an innocent man into this place? Sure, I haven't been around here long, but all I did was make some shopkeeper an offer, which he refused. It was just a business deal. Tell me, what's illegal about that? It's not my fault that a few days later someone came and smashed up his shop. Guy that did it was funny lookin' too. All silvery-like, couldn't really make out his features too well. Had arms that dragged the ground though. Was real weird, ya know?"

I just realized that Hero Lab didn't do my Eidolon's stats right. It's saying that its claws only have 5' reach, when I took the reach evolution. They should have 10' reach.


A lot of work Spinningdice!

Let your kids feel better soon!


Elijah will chuckle at the reasons for imprisonment.

So, the church doesn't take kindly to Mitra being portrayed as a sadistic alter boy lover. Hmm, who would think the stuck up church would be angry at that?! he says with a boisterous laugh.

After a moment,

So Raymond, you think that you were just a fall-guy huh? You don't make it here for being a fall-guy. Me, I am here because I left my post on the wall for a moment to grab a bite to eat, and beasts from the outside attacked. My watch partner and a half-dozen responding guards died at the attack. I was found guilty of desertion, and set here to die for my crime...at least I own up to crimes and don't try to play it off

Embrace the evil deeds done, and pray to Asmodeus to release us all from this hell. For Talingarde wishes us to be put down like common dogs, but Asmodeus' has promised me eternal life when Talingarde turned its back on ME as he laughs maniacally.

Thanks for putting up with us all Spinningdice,

Good luck everyone!


Rei stands up and turns around. Putting her hands up on the bars, she eyes the various occupants.

All these people would no doubt love to see the kingdom in ruins. Perhaps if we can find an opening... They say no one has ever escaped from here, but there must be a way.

"One way or another I'll be checking out of here in three days. Since I'd prefer it not be by way of four horses who can't agree on their direction of travel, you can count me in."

Her mind focused again with a challenge before it, she sits down facing the bars and begins reviewing everything she remembers from her arrival in Branderscar up until this point, trying to think of anything that might aid them.

Updated Rei's profile with a full background story.

Good luck everyone!


@spinningdice: No problem, hope your kids get better soon!

Fletch, too restless to fall asleep, begins scouring the cell for anything useful.

We must be pretty deep in the earth if the lack of sunlight is any indication. There might be traces of useful minerals in the loose strata that covers this floor.

I begin to gather small bits of rock and other detriment in an (vain) attempt to analyze it.


Metagame! Metagame! I never said my name was Raymond! Cheater, cheater, cheater! Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah! *starts dancing and pointing at Elijah*

"I ain't playin' anything off. I'm tellin' ya, I didn't do nothing to that shop. I just happened to be there when that silvery dude bust in and started makin' a mess of things."

Sure, I told him to do it, but it's not like I smashed it with my own hands.

Raymond ponders whether or not he'd really be considered 'vile.' After a few seconds he comes to his conclusion.

"I don't know about you, but I wouldn't consider myself a bad person. I'm just an insurance salesman. I collected payments from the local shops to help protect them from certain misfortunes that might befall a business. If you paid your insurance, you were safe and everybody was happy. If you didn't, well, one of those things I sold insurance for might just happen. I'm only here because one guy didn't pay for insurance because he didn't think he needed it. Then, lo and behold, what I warned him about just managed to happen right after he said no. Some things got broken, some accusations were made, and I just happened to be an easy target because I was in the shop at the time. Personally, I think they just didn't like the way I look."

Why am I suddenly thinking of trolls?


Meh, we all make mistakes lol


looking forward to the decision. Cole has so much character growth :)

You should be thinking of dwarves. MILLORN WILL KILL YOU!

Can't wait!

Hope the kids feel better soon!


Spinningdice: Hope your kids feel better, and that you don't catch what they have!

Good luck, everyone else! I am hoping that I hope to be playing with some of you soon.

Her mind focused again with a challenge before it, she sits down facing the bars and begins reviewing everything she remembers from her arrival in Branderscar up until this point, trying to think of anything that might aid them.

"Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't high treason the only way that they still do that kind of punishment to you?" he states, somewhat surprised.

His eyes practically roll into the back of his head when the other man with his arms bound starts to state that he was innocent. "Your arms are only bound like yours and mine are if they can do something particularly dangerous. Me? I can remove your trachea with 2 fingers." he says with a bit of a laugh mixed in. "You?" he chuckles again. "Well, you don't look too athletic..."


Raymond stifles a small, dry laugh at the man boasting of his strength.

"Who says you gotta be athletic to be dangerous? Sometimes all it takes is the right tools, and you could say I've got magic hands and a fiery temper - two tools that get quite a few jobs done. I didn't like the accusations the guards and the shopkeeper made about me, a simple businessman, and so I didn't go quiet-like. I think the shop caught fire, maybe a few guards got burnt in it, I can't really remember it all. Things got fuzzy once they started hittin' back. Think those pigs gave me a concussion."

"If I'd been allowed to see my lawyer, I wouldn't be in this joint. Hell, I'd probably be sittin' rich and livin' easy right about now."


Hound just keeps scratching, chipping and twisting at the stone around his chains, he seems single-minded in his work.


Zed chuckles at the boasts and arguments coming from the other prisoners. "I wonder how many guards are listening to our little conspiracy as we plot. Of course, I can be remarkably persuasive."


"In my line of work it pays to be persuasive. Can't sell someone something they don't know they need yet unless you've got a way with words. I tried talkin my way outta here already. They don't like to listen. All they like to do is go upside your head."


Waking to the sound of voices of varying pitches, Lukasz looks around at his surroundings with an dazed look before his eyes adjusted to the dim light of the cell. Is this where I think it is? He thought to himself as he suddenly remembered being hauled out of the carriage that had taken him to the prison. Having resisted, he remembers feeling a blunt impact to the base of his neck before everything went black and then he was here. Listening to the tail end of some conversations, Lukasz replies to himself Seems so, as he hears some talk of what brought them here and others, the bravado talk of the damage they can cause to someone.

Responding to Raymond's words, finally bringing attention to himself, Lukasz says, "The man is right about the guards' keen preference for blunt objects and prisoner's heads. I have had about three of those since my trip to this Hell." Though truthfully, this is far from the Hell I know. he concluded to himself. "But I suppose my introduction has yet to be made and since our former lives seem over, in lieu of profession, allow me to give the reason for why I am here. My name is Lukasz Pavo, and I am to be burned for witchcraft." Though he wears tattered linen clothing, like all gathered, his form of speech and manner in which he stood hinted at education and a noble upbringing.

Okay, I really hate excluding folk, but my selections are:
Jericho Fiendaxe

Congrats to all who made it in - have a wicked awesome time! If any spots open up down the line, please do give Noddy a shout :>

RPG Superstar Season 9 Top 32

Congratulations everyone! Enjoy the game for me!


I shall bring Talingarde down to cinders for those bot selected. Asmodeus shall reign supreme once again


Hound finishes scraping the mortar out and pushes the stone block out of the wall and vanishes into the night.

Good luck.


Cool! Thanks for the selection.


Thanks for letting me make the team!

I am guessing that our in-character banter on this thread doesn't actually count for real in-game.


Congratulations for those picked!

The guards open the cell across the way. This the prisoner? Not much to look at...

The second guard sneers, Don't let his current form fool ya, Jesse. This ones a pyro. Razed Daveryn's marketplace to the ground in one night. They found him dancing admist the burnt corpses of over a hunnred people. At this, the guard spits at Fletch.

Same night he got here, tried turning into that accursed form to escape. I caught 'im meself afor he could get out of the upper windows. I have him to thank for this. The big man reveals a heavily bandaged hand under his steel gauntlet.

The two guards enter the cell and you can hear the pitiful screeching of a terrified creature followed by a sickening *snap*. There, that should keep 'im from escaping. Take 'im with the others. He'll burn in that form as easily as any other.

The guards finish collecting the "excess" of prisoners to be executed.


This is not the barbarian you are looking for.


Well, congratulations to those picked. I was really hoping to get to play my mafioso...
