still have 4 hours. no decisions are made yet, though I am carefully examining all entries and have some solid thoughts already
Good luck everyone! (Starts doing finger exercises in anticipation of how hard I'll be crossing them.)
Think I've followed the build rules correctly. Never played a hunter before but I think it could be fun. Was toying with playing a small race (Gnome or halfling) for riding the companion but the idea of Snorri and Snaga came to me and well that was that.
BTW I'm suspicious that Herolab may be allowing things for the companion that are invalid (e.g. it seems to let you add lots of tricks). I'm going to double check the rules and edit this to update.
Edit Turns out there is a limit, but it wasn't where I was expecting it. Also you have to add the companion archetype to both the player and the companion. Think it's sorted now.
By looks and by accent there was no mistaking Snorri as anything but a northman. A look reinforced by his gear (overdressed for a Taldan) and the snow white hound at his side which looked suspiciously like a wolf.
His companion Snaga growled as you approached but Snorri laughed and ruffled her fur as he said, ”Don’t worry Snaga, this one’s all right!”
When you enquired about his past, Snorri told you cheerfully, ”As a boy I grew up in Irrisen in a tiny hamlet so small it had no name way up in the mountains by a majestic glacier. I miss em you know, the mountains, you don’t really have them round here. Oh sure there’s the World’s Edge range a ways east of here but most of them don’t even have snow on them all year round.”
The conversation inevitably turned to what was a northman doing all this way south in Taldor. Snorril laughed again and explained, ”Well as strange as it may sound my mother Helga never really liked the cold! For as long as I can remember she was on at Da about traveling south to see sommat ‘o the world, and when pressed it was always for my benefit. Eventually he gave in and against his better judgment south we went to lands where the summer’s so hot you could melt!”
He sighed before continuing, ”Worst of it is they’re old now, and stuck in Taldor over in Zimar. Too old to spend a year and more traveling back. As for me, well Snaga and I came here looking for work. I’ve always been good with animals and there’s herders and farmers here, figured we’d work something out. Being honest we’ve looked in a lot of other places too, but it’s all seasonal and that suits me fine. I’d get itchy feet if I stayed anywhere too long! Anyway it’s good to meet you friend, may the trail be always clear and the stars bright!”

"It's not that bad!" I said as the Silver Stoat's innkeeper tended to my wounds. A few of the locals had given him a welcome to Heldren party that left me covered in bruises. The innkeeper had shooed them away just before they killed me. I could have healed myself but casting the 'wrong' kind of spells openly was something I still hid by second nature. "Honestly, I appreciate that they noticed me. I feel seen!"
"You can stay one more night but I can't give you any more food." she said. So far I had been able to conjure up fresh water to barter for food and the chance to sleep in the cellar. "If word gets out I've been helping a the likes of you, then I'll be the one with bruises. Now, go into the cellar and make sure you're gone before first light.
So it was back to the Border Wood for me! It's a good thing I can refill my waterskin and start small fires otherwise.., well never mind. I'd offer thanks to the power that gives me my magic but I don't know which one it is. At one point, I'm woken up from a nap (no food!) as some men pass by. I doubt they were after me be all the same I hid in the shadows, gathering them around me. I overheard them talking about a presence in the woods. They weren't talking about me. I may be from a despised people but I'm only one person. Then they mentioned the local soothsayer warning of darkness.
Darkness? Well, count me in.
I suspect I'll be asleep when the deicison comes through (time zones) but good luck all.

Said wizard here! :)
At Dorian Grey's urging I will resubmit Mike.

It was more a nudge...just saying!
Deneth is still up for this. Recycled the alias though so do need to set it up again (which is done quickly just not directly as it's a bit late here).
I'm still interested! Viktor's ready to go!
Hmmm... I seem to be treading some of the same ground as Rorgar. If you want me to I can develop a new concept or recycle an existing one I have laying around.
anyone wanting to resubmit an idea feel free, or design something new. Im hoping to make a decision with a day or two. of who will be a good fit.
Note Barnaby can do traps. so dont look at it like i need to fill that hole.
After a quick glance you don't have a lot of gaps, the party is pretty well balanced. Ironically you don't have a full divine caster. I don't know that Mike will get along with Rorgar he seems more a traditional dwarf whereas Mike is a rebel. I think I might do a cleric but different race and deity.
That said if I don't get a different submission together in time just assume I will submit Mike.
Deneth remains as he was before.
Still a young guys from the next town over who is smitten with the blacksmith's daughter.
Also still a Fighter going for tower shields (not the archetype) eventually. I'll also be adding some Iron Caster parts to him.
Only thing I'm changing is that I will be paying less attention to/investing less in his giant heritage. It's still there, just not as prominent as my earlier intent.

Delmoth, I think a dwarf of the drunken god, might be fun to have around.
I dont know what was harder. choosing the initial group or choosing this single person.
In the end I flipped a mental coin.
2.Delmoth- Michaela “Mike” Dornslagdam Female Dwarf Cleric of Caiden Cailean
join us in the discussion thread.
Looking for replacement player. (maybe a second)
The Group as it sits
Barnaby The Gnome Hunter and his companion Ant (a giant Ant)
Rorgar The Dwarven Warpriest of Torag
Ylena Pavel Human Witch (Cartomancer)
Tegan Ryker Human Wizard
-------------
Our Paladin has been absent for work issues since Mid May saying he would be able to return mid june...we are now late july. If he doesnt show up before the beginning of august I will have to replace him..
Kandoo Krom Tiefling Paladin
and
Mike The Dwarven Cleric of Caiden Cailean has to drop for family reasons.
so looking for 1 probably 2 replacements
I know next to nothing about that AP, but would definitely be game to submit a character. I'd be willing to toss a martial character into the hat.
check out the first couple posts in the recruitment thread here. itll give you an idea on what im looking for for a 'submission' and barebones about the AP.
anything really could work.
Mike had replaced a Skald who moved on.
Leaning towards rolling a human Barbarian. Is there a specific ethnicity that would make sense for the region?
I can make any work....the beginning takes place in Taldor, but very quickly it goes elsewhere....
ok Ylena has given me the heads up that she has to opt out when the encounter is done...so add a third.
The falling snow rests heavily on the shoulders of the small gnome. The cold biting wind washes away the streaming tears from Barnaby's reddened face. His friends were falling! The steady stream of bandits were competing with the merciless Winter for the doom of these Heroes!
The continuing sounds of the battle cry out to his burning ears. Surrounded by the crash of the dwarf's axe, the shouts of the wizard's arcane casting, and the valiant chitter of his Giant Ant; the Gnome Hunter looks about the battlefield determined to turn the tide!
We should really think about putting an advertisement in the local paper for a few recruits!
The Giant Ant chitters in agreement at the Gnome.
Barnaby lifts his machete high (well not really high, because he is a gnome) into the air!
You shall not pass!
The Giant Ant chitters at the Gnome.
Someone already used that line? Whatever!

If you’re still looking for replacement player’s, I’m interested! I have a gunslinger concept that I can flesh out.
