Alrigt folks I am getting close to being ready to make a selection.

For everyone, please post the following

1. Are you still interested?

2. You understand that the posting requirement is 1 per day. Failure to post will result in being botted, then being dropped from the campaign if it is a constant

3. You understand, and are prepared to engage in rp between the party, not just engage with the gm in combat encounters.

The answer to all three is a definite 'Yes'.

@ Shaia, might I ask how did she get her animal companion? Why a snake as a pet? Might be an interesting background story.

Did she also dream of the people she'd meet there?

The snake was actually a former household pet 'liberated' from a Chelaxian exotic animal dealer. As for why I chose snake in particular, it's because I usually don't see them as companions.

And yeah, she'd indeed have dreamt of people she'd meet in Sandpoint, but we'd have to finalize a list of characters before I could go into any specifics.

Fluff:

Shaia is a Varisian sojourner and devotee of Desna, the Great Dreamer. Long has she wandered the winding roads and wilds of Varisia with nought but the stars above to keep her company. Since childhood her dreams have guided her, walking through life in a daze, constantly on the move and drinking in each new experience to relive in the haven of her dreams. But as of late her dreams have grown restless. A great evil stirs over Varisia. She can hear the cry of the Goddess, calling her to awaken. It is a call to arms. She must be ready. The beast comes.

Shaia in a nutshell
Shaia is a druid who has spent most of her life travelling Varisia in a sort of permanent daydream. All her life she’s been preparing for something, learning to live and move and tap into something much greater than her. The only problem is, she doesn’t know what. She believes that her fate is in the hands of Desna, and that her dreams are Desna’s way of guiding her through life. She dreams of stars and the void and great beasts of the sky. She dreams of nature and sea and the winding roads of men. A festival of butterflies, an offering to the Goddess. Sandpoint. This is where she will find her destiny.

Extra bits
Shaia is a wild thing. She’s spent more nights beneath the stars than she has beneath a roof. She is a predator, a hunter, a creature of the night, and she is dangerous. In particular, she hunts and destroys aberrations and undead as well as others who pervert the natural order.
