Thanks everyone, but there is something else as well.
I GM a Jade Regent campaign that sputtered out a couple of months ago, and we've agreed to reboot it. So I will be taking on a higher calling now :)

I've been checking in to see if Avienus had posted yet. It was his turn in our thread. I'm thinking it's unlikely he'll be back at this point. Without him, Minodora would be in an age tier by herself well above everyone else. I think it would be awkward to try to integrate her with the rest of the group at this point. I'm going to go ahead an bow out, but everyone enjoy the game. You all certainly are so far! Have fun and I hope it goes well.
"Alright, let's go." Minodora waves her sister goodbye and leaves for the garrison with Avienus.
As she finishes up Minodora shrugs. "Dunno, food and people watching I guess. It's maybe a little early for food though. We could find Cyrdak and see if there's any entertainment lined up for today. I wouldn't want to miss that."
Pleased to have put Avienus on his heels, Minodora lightens up a bit. She even ignores the backhanded, and knowing Avenius, accidental, insult in his reply. He really should have figured out by now that appearance is a sore spot for Minodora. It isn't easy growing up with an older sister who is widely regarded as the most beautiful woman in town. "Just a few more minutes... Right Rhynn? And then I can leave." Feeling extra generous since it's such a special day, Minodora evens asks Aventius "what do you want to do first?"
Minodora looks up from her folding, staring at Avienus with narrowed eyes. "Are you saying they don't like me?" Her voice carries a dangerous edge. She shifts her eyes to the bread for a split-second but doesn't take it.
Minodora hoofs it up to the square with the last couple of sacks of clothes she has to bring to the stall. Rhynn has opted for a stall today rather than opening the shop. She said "it would be nice to work outdoors for a change and besides, it's where everyone will be all day." "There, that's all of it" Minodora pants as she drops the sacks behind the tables where her sister is laying out the stuff already there. "Great, now help me fold these" Rhynn orders as she shoves several blouses toward Minodora. "It won't take long to get set up, and then you'll be free. But remember I need you to come back for a little while in a couple of hours so I can go get something to eat. After that you're free for the rest of the day. I'll break the stall down at the end of the day. Hopefully there won't be nearly so much to carry back." Minodora rolls her eyes but says nothing. Boring! How am I supposed to keep track of two hours anyway? Minodora really hated helping customers. They could never decide anything, which meant giving them opinions. The problem is the opinion always has to be the same. You look wonderful in it! It so suits you, and brings out your ________ so well! It would be one thing if it were true, but mostly she had to tell something of the sort to some old woman who actually looked quite terrible in whatever she had picked out, and really shouldn't want whatever feature in question being brought out and scrutinized all that much. But, as Rhynn always scolded when she wavered on compliments. "It keeps bread on the counter and soup on the stove." So she did it anyway. While she helps Rhynn finish up getting things ready, Minodora keeps an eye out for Avienus. It would be nice if he were to think of coming here since she is having to work, and doesn't want to waste part of her two hours hunting him down.
Good Luck everyone! Lots of great applications!
For the sake of curiosity, which module did you try to adapt to Sandpoint in that first run? Minodora should be ready to go now. Character sheet is in the profile. I haven't done gear yet. You will probably want to check it for errors due to the special rules.
** spoiler omitted ** Avienus: I like that idea a lot! It also squares well with a bunch of other things. Rhynshinn is one of the very few other half-elves in town, so a closer relationship would make sense on that level as well. Especially with the guild stuff, yes.
Minodora is human, but they are half-sisters. Rhynshinn's father is long dead. Minodora's dad is unknown to her, and she can no longer find out from Vernah. Rhynshinn might have a good guess, but she's not talking so far. (Yes, it's all figured out, so I know the whole story). Anyway, Minodora doesn't get out of scrapes on her adorableness alone as she thinks. Since Vernah's murder the Povalli's are now one of the town's "Pitied Families", and nobody wants to take anything about Minodora to Rhyn and add to her problems. Minodora doesn't realize this of course, and thinks she's just that clever.
@Sappy: Sounds good! I can make it work. @Avienus: Sure. Just do what I say and we'll both be happy. Background:
- How did you end up in Sandpoint? Born here, moved here...? "I was born here, and have always lived in Sandpoint." - Who do you live with? Family, foster parents, siblings...? "I live with my sister Rynshinn. Our mother was murdered by Chopper. I was little when it happened and don't remember much. But I feel sorry for Rhyn. I can tell she's sad sometimes, and she has to work a lot because she runs Vernah's Fine Clothing now. I help out some too." - What do you want to do when you grow up? "I want to be a singer." - Who is your best friend? "That's hard. I have LOTS of friends." - What is your favorite scary tale? Minodora leans in close, looking sly. "I know one that hardly anyone else does. It's about the Red Bishop. It flies around at night, but not many people ever see it. Read about it in a book. That's the great thing about books, they are full of secrets if you spend time looking for them." - Who is the most awesome person ever, and why is she Shalelu Andosana? "Sure Shalelu is great. She's a hero around here, AND she's very mysterious don't you think?"
