Here's to a complete experience.
I regret only that I didn't arrive early enough to pick the low-hanging fruit off the cheese tree.
Anyway, heyya everybody. Can't wait to get started.
I'll bite. Here's to interestingly exceptional ultimate magical experience.
Mostly I just wanted a dot by this thread.

Please ask me something: any of you have played before this module?
Now a thing about your background. In some place of Absalom, a guy was judged for killing his wife and his six-years-old kid.
Now, ten years later, there will be a remembrance of the trial. And there have to go the jurors.
Some of the jurors are dead now, or sick enough to don't be able to go.
So, your characters has to be related in some ways to one juror that can't go at the remembrance, and take his place.
What ideas do you have about your character relation with this jurors?

Hm. I haven't played this module before. Going off of the Campaign Setting description of Absalom, it sounds like Osiriani nobles are not uncommon in the region. He probably has a cousin or aunt or uncle who has a seat on the Grand Council (probably a low seat, unless Jurors are always drawn from the high seats).
Just to throw something out there, how about an Uncle Tokar, Office of Relic Documentation and Museums, who died last year. His widow is still in mourning, and they were childless. He was a juror on the original case, and his widow has asked Halor to stand in for Tokar at the Remembrance while he's visiting. Just a thought.

I've not played the module either.
Ten years ago, the Ferstwaine family maintained a permanent presence in Absolom, to better influence the politics of the City at the Centre of the World. The accommodations required to properly house family representatives is expensive, though, and over the last decade it has become unfeasible to support them further. As a result, on the anniversary of a highly public trial when a low-ranking cousin was asked to reprise his role as juror, there was no-one present in the city to represent the family. Rather than risk the embarrassment of declining to take part in the event, and unwilling to pay for such a minor member of the family to travel across the Inner Sea, the heir to house Ferstwaine was sent on the next ship bound for Absolom…
I haven't played the module.
As for background, I'm thinking Elora is standing in for her mentor, Father* Merrion a priest of Sarenrae who has passed on since the trial. Since she's part of the clergy and was close to him, she's there for the remembrance.
Currently divorced from my books so that's all I've got for now.
(*not actually sure if 'father' would be the appropriate title/honorific/whatever)
Man, that Marion and Merrion thing was not intentional. I should have put more thought into the names.
On the other hand, it could be an interesting coincidence and hints at the sort of father/daughter relationship.
Well, we're hosting Christmas here, so it'd probably be best if I voted to park. I can probably manage either way, though.
*shrug* either works for me.
roger that.
I'm still here.
I've been busy-ish so I keep hoping somebody else will jump in so I can respond to them (which is probably a bad plan).
I'd like to keep it open if we have enough people to keep going.
I'm still here, but waiting to see have something to react to.
Still, given the infrequency of posting, I'll go for (B).
Okey doke, see ya when you get back.
Is anybody else still around? I was sort of waiting on Halor to step in since he had point, but we seem to have lost folks/interest again.
Still here, still tracking.
Well I hate to say it but perhaps it's best if we laid the game to rest. Only two left out of six and our momentum's all spent.
Well, if we've got folks (and looks like we've got three players and the DM if you include me), you can count me in, too.
Removing this thread from my watch. *bows to the DM* Thank you for your time and inspiration.
Alright then. Same to ya'll; thanks for the game, however brief.
