I would take the one with the fewest characters and the highest average number of posts with each. I guess that could statistically reduce the probability of losing another player.
I won't ask you anything twice. If you try to fool us or don't answer, I will hurt you badly each time. So here is the first question: Why did you spy at us?
Algharud tries to slip a coin out of the pocket of the drunkard and then "invites" him on a beer with his own coin. (just because beating up takes too long.)
Algharud can't help but smile at Lanialiar's joke for a second. Then, he is earnest again: We will see. The desert eats idiots a plenty. So anyone who thinks his camel is right on this matter might better leave now.
If Halistar tells Algharud about the halfling...:
Algharud takes a surprising sprint over to the Halflings hiding-place, grabs him and yells: What is your business with us, you little rat?
Someone who breaks into an Exhibitory might also set ambushes in the desert... We better take care. We guard our camp in shifts of two people at night and we sleep in our armors. Now eat enough, but not too much. Else the heat might let you eat your breakfast backwards again once we're on our way and things get strenous.
After that, Algharud eats a good breakfast and drinks much water. Once the meal is over, he shoulders his backpack.
Algharud checks the expedition-equipment. He also sorts some things out that are in his eyes not strictly necessary. Algharud also checks everybodies weaponry and armor.
Finally he buys some heat-resistant candy, something that won't just meltdown into nothingness.
In the evening, he enjoys a cool bath and drinks a lot of water to be perfectly hydrated the next day.
What chance? I don't mean that guy any harm. Except for maybe I'd like to punch his nose in for his arrogance... Otherwise I just don't care about the old man.
Somehow I hope that someone steals his mask. Arrogant weakling. I don't need to "invite myself" into anyones home. Luck for him that we depend upon his good will...
Maybe we better help guard this thing? There are multiple interests in here and not all of them benign. Your guards seem strong to me, but the more the safer. If you have a room available, we might as well sleep here.
I hope, someone of you is also interested in playing/DMing DnD 4. If that is the case and you have some spare time for another online game, than please participate:
Algharud, feeling caught in the act, looks surprised for a moment. After that, he hands his bag of candy to the Crook Bearer and says: Oh sorry. Want some?
What is this favor you wish? Or do you wish to keep it for the future?
'Spoke to a holy man named Nateki Uncarr. He said, our mask is part of the collection of the Crook Bearer. If we mention his name, the Crook Bearer might be willing to let us see the mask...
Algharud has learned the hard way, that it isn't always wise to tell curious strangers everything, even if they wear a cleric's vestments, for Nethys has servants both good and evil.
Referring to the priest's answer, Algharud asks: So why are you so interested?
About his comrades: I don't know anything about them. They are a bunch of treasure-seekers, I guess. It's just a job. I'm not interested in anything but doing my work for the money.
Algharud bows before the cleric of Nethys. I do not fully know, oh speaker to him-who-heals-and-destroys. I am just a guard to those who seek for this mask. May I humbly ask for the background of your asking?
Indeed, Algharud was so focussed on fullfilling his guard-duty and caring about "black" magics, that he didn't fully comprehend all the information about the mask. So when I am "forgetting" some points this is fully intentional and hopefully acceptable for you. Algharud is really often not interested in the talk going on.
Algharud cannot refrain from answering Lanialiar. Yeah, go. I smelled your stench too when I tried to teach you manners. Good thing that you realized it and try to get rid of it.
Although Algharud isn't very friendly or emphatic, he tries his best to help Halistar:
