I'm going to have to pull out of this game. Real life is simply too much of a challenge right now.

Maldrin will pay his 4 coppers, and look over the hides to compare them to how Shayelu prepared them. Otherwise, he is uncharacteristically quiet as the challenges of the day catch up to him.
The conversation apparently having come to a close, Maldrin asks one final question, "Is there anything else we should be worried about up there?" After receiving an answer, he moves to the edge of the camp, waiting for the party to move out.
"Acquaitance is more accurate. After he ran afoul of his friends, we are trying to track them down to clear up the nature of the dispute between them."
"Would one of the three happened to have looked like [enter description of archer from previous night here]?"
"We are aiding the town of Sandpoint. The only ones we are working with are the others currently standing here."
"We come from Sandpoint, seeking someone whom we have business with. Have by chance you seen anyone else come this way today?"
Maldrin and Molette will hunt/patrol around the perimeter of the camp, scrounging up some food for the next meal as well as keeping their eye out for more goblins.
Maldrin keeps a sharp lookout as the others rest and wait.
Maldrin sends Molette up to keep an eye out for the camp's inhabitants.
A lot of great concepts here. I don't envy your task.
Here is a character I made for another Jade Regent recruitment thread. Changes have been made to adapt to specific requirements. If more are needed, just say the word.
"That meshes with my Shalelu taught me. These woods are apparently crawling with these cowards."
"That was exciting. Silly cowardly creatures." Maldrin just shakes his head at the retreating foe.
Maldrin shakes his head as Molette swoops in from behind with a talon before taking a step back and planting a magical bolt of raw arcane energy (magic missile) in the confused goblin's face.
"First something to keep Peregrin from trying to play tag with you. I doubt this tent could handle that very well. For myself, a pint of ale and some stew would be sufficient."
Maldrin takes aim and fires with his crossbow as Molette simply moves to get behind the goblins, staying high enough to be out of their javelin range.
Maldrin just shakes his head at the goblin's stupidity.
This time working more slowly, Maldrin starts tracking the set of tracks leading from the jail, hoping to get a bit further than the bridge this time.
Maldrin starts from the cathedral following the tracks heading south into the forest.
"We better be careful. Someone with deep pockets is on the other end of this mystery. We should probably go now if we plan on doing so, before the trail gets even colder."
Maldrin packs his stuff for the hunt, half relieved to finally have something to do, though a bit shaken by the brutality of it all.
"I suspect he's already answered all of them that he can. He's seems more like a hired gun than anything else. The mermaid and his boss are the ones that we need be asking questions to, and the mermaid may not be up to answering questions for a while." Maldrin points out to Kjell.
Maldrin will agree to aid the dwarf.
Deciding that there is nothing more he can do about the mermaid situation, Maldrin accepts the request of one of the bar owners to rustle up some supper for the patrons, and spends the rest of the day out hunting with Molette, returning just before supper with a decent supply of meat.
Maldrin will go to whatever bar, official or unofficial, that has replaced the Rusty Dragon's role, and try to pick up what people are saying about the incident as he waits for developments.
Maldrin returns to the Rusty Dragon for a meal, unable to do anything to assist at the moment, and figuring that the tavern's common room is as good a place as any to keep tabs on the developing story while staying out of the way.
Maldrin, not being able to provide much assistance to the mermaid, simply watches and waits to see what develops.
"The bounty hunter seems to be cooperating for now, demonstrating a wiser head than is usual for those in his trade."
"Perhaps introducing him to the mob may not be the best idea. After all, as yet, we haven't heard the mermaid's side of the story, and we probably want this person in one piece at least long enough to do that. I suggest we let him find out the hospitality of our good sheriff while others work on the other half of this puzzle, the mermaid. Once we have heard both sides, we can figure out how to proceed."
DM and Phagin: Molette swings down to Maldrin and guides him to the area where she saw the trouble. When he arrives at the scene, he takes a moment to consider what is in front of him. Spying the bow, Maldrin moves to where he can reach the bowman with a nonlethal magic missile if he tries anything funny. "I know that mermaids are known for prettyness, but I'm sure that a dagger fight on land won't help either of you get her attention.", he says as he readies an action to shoot an nonlethal magic missile at an assailant. Meanwhile, Molette moves around behind the men with daggers to stop anyone who tries to flee.
Seeing the mermaid being taken care of, Maldrin will try to track down someone who may have seen the beginning of this scene to try to get some idea of how it started as Molette continues to circle overhead, watching out for further trouble.
Maldrin moves up the the shoreline where he can use magic missiles to protect those involved in the rescue of the mermaid if the situation requires it.
"Apparently someone doesn't care much for mermaids, or at least not that mermaid." Maldrin comments, a bit concerned as he sends Molette to circle over the area just in case anything else breaks the surface.
Maldrin will step forward to see if there is room for him to help; if there isn't, he'll stand by.
An wild looking elf with a bird sitting on his shoulder stands at the edge of the crowd, letting those more capable of clearing the seaweed have the room they need as he observes.
Maldrin should be done.
All fleshed out and ready to go.
All of the basics have been added to the profile. I can flesh out anything that requires it.
Added traits. Couldn't find any specific ones that add Handle Animal as as a class skill other than one for gnomes; if you know of any other, let me know. I really like the flavor of the idea, as it fits with the concept nicely. Background: Taken under Shalelu's wing for reasons that he still hasn't entirely figured out, Maldrin learned how to use the skills she taught him to tap into and control the powers within himself. When she left on the caravan with Ameiko, he feels a certain amount of responsibility to step in and help keep an eye on Sandpoint's well being.
Here is Maldrin, wildborn sylvan sorcerer. The concept could work equally well with eagle shaman druid or falconer ranger.
Maldrin works to keep Molette calm in the midst of so many strangers. No point in ruining someone's day by having Molette introduce herself the wrong way.
Maldrin with some basic information. Since there is someone else with the same campaign trait and NPC, I will wait to pin down background until selections are made.
Submitting one that didn't make the first attempt. Can be either a druid or a sorcerer. Stats can change per your generation method if chosen.
"That will be sufficient for me. Go ahead and tend to your other customers."
