Mornin' Ladies and Gentlemen
Getting up with Manowar :)
Ok, thx Bree for your input. I'd also nominate Grmbln for HOR (sry for the rolls) and also Grymblade.
For HOD, I'd take Kirk's Pal, Jink.
And for HOL, Bilbo.
OK, with everyone, or is anyone voting for Shuriken?
Hahaha, yeah... I'm pretty likely to kill off (or die trying) any character Shuriken brings near any of my characters, ever.
Oh, and good morning Zyren.
Well, I have court tomorrow so I am off to shower and attempt to head to bed. I'll check back in before I crash though, to see if there's anything new and exciting going on!
That was expected :)
recruitment went much faster than I had eexpected, very good.
Getting up with Manowar :)
"Hail & Kill".
Just catching up on the posts and getting a handle on it all -
Bilbo - Dwarf Pally (zomg TWO pallys!, it's gonna be like Starsky and Hutch! ...or Dukes of Hazzard?)
Jink - A 'Healer' - The druid will be pleased.
Grmbln & Grym - Tanks for HOR. Good.
I have to say that on a separate note I was quite pleased with the quality of applicants and the fact that in the main they got into the spirit of the recruitment thread and clearly read what we both wrote.
That was expected :)

I figured, lol. I just like to clarify my distaste for the would-be pedo.
Well, I am off to bed not guys. Big day tomorrow. Cross your fingers for me :) I'll be on as soon as I can!

Whats happening?
*crosses fingers* for what?
@ Shifty:
Best lyrics ever (well, not quite serious)
I have seen the fire
Of the thousands suns pass by
While blasphemers spread their Gospel
Bearing false witness
Now we rise
All ye children of the wild
Fists like hammers fill the air
Vast legions all immortal
Smash the stillness everywhere
Brothers of metal know no masters
Metal's our religion
Take it to the grave
Rulers of the earth
Our dawn of glory
All reborn we live again
Hold true, ye sacred army
Our last battle is at hand
Sweep this dogs from our kingdom
Bless this ground, our holy land
I wonder how up the pole that sounds to a native speaker^^
No way.
Before competitions I always crank the Manowar right up to get in the mood :P
Regarding Shuri, notwithstanding anything else, the concepts weren't necessarily what was needed and would fit with teh party demeanour. More likely to end up as cat food.
choices made and posted, everyone content?
Hello from Okinawa, all. Thanks for picking me up and giving me a chance to play with you. I look forward to hacking my way across Ustalav with you!
Now for a few questions. From a wealth standpoint, was there any decision as to what I should be packin',are there any things I should know in order to work myself into the story, and are there any aspects you would like to see worked into the character's personality?
I'll start working on the mechanical side in a bit and look forward hearing from you soon.
You can spend half of the apropriate WBL on equipment.
Regarding the story: The first characters started out as graduates of the academies of Karcau, but your character just needs a reason why he came to Karcau.
Maybe he's a fan of the opera^^
I suggest you write a rather vanilla background and then I'll think about something.
Sounds good. Do I need to work any of the recruitment thread stuff in or was that just a little style taste test?
Thanks for the opportunity Zyren!
Id ask all the same questions as Bilbo and where could I find the in game thread?
@ Bilbo: That was just a test :)
@ Grymblade: Thread is here. Since Second Darkness begins with the characters arriving at the Golden Goblin to participate in the gambling tournament, I'd suggest, your ship was just late and you arrive one day too late, kay?
@ Both: take your time and skim through the campaign thread, or ask the other players, if you need specific information.
For reference, points after drop die, but before adjusting racial points.

Will begin distribution and post a rough draft later. And how did you guys handle hit points, rolled or averaged?
Greetings, Aesoph Faine here, appreciate to have been chosen and I hope to have fun writing with you all and even do some good.
This is one of the new clerics for the heart of darkness campaign. I was planning on taking trickery and travel as my domains but if the roles requires bandages/undead turning/or sun giving him a tiny bit more of a traditional role, just let me know.
Are you guys on the same side of the planet as me? I have yet to find anyone playing in the same timezone,lol.
Shifty is from Australia, should be quite close to you timezone-wise.
@ Aesoph:
As long as your cleric is able to do at least "some" healing, the party will like him :)
Shifty is in Australia, but apart from that I think most people are in Europe or the US, not quite sure.
@Grymblade: After the whole recruiting thread thing, you reckon our characters know each other? Also, with two fighters we might actually have a reason to possibly take some teamwork feats.
Sounds good to me.
shoot me an email and we can work it out.
"I'm from Vermont, USA. Eastern Standard Time. That is Solaric (HOL) and Kyren (HOD)
But he gets up so early that I always think he must be from Spain :)
@Bilbo - UTC + 10 here, so one hour off from you at the moment.

Well,we certainly cover the planet on this one, lol. Nice to have at least one other person on this side of the world even if we are in opposite seasons. ;)
Just be prepared to wake up each morning to a sea of posts...! Its always nice to spend my morning with a coffee and a bit of a read/post marathon.
Is this absolutely insane to stay and face a dragon head on? The paladin side of me wants to attack it straight on, but the cleric side of me wants to retreat and protect the party (and myself). :-)
Corvax and I are fleshing out our paired backgrounds and will be ready to start soon.
Should we jump right in coming off the boat Zyren?

I'm not in the situation you're dealing with, but in my experience, we tend to make . . . a big deal about dragons. :-) There have been occasions where our table-gaming parties have stumbled across dragons and we've stayed to fight, but typically they're separate quests/missions and we take them VERY seriously.
And, Paladin's Lawful Good is NOT necessarily "Lawful Stupid." There is no dishonor in recognizing a superior foe and retreating to fight it better prepared another day--as long as you DO intend to fight it another day!!
but that's just my $0.02 .
Wealth roll x10 = 180
@ Bilbo and Shifty:
True, true, we have Europeans, Americans and Oceanicans (if that's the correct phrase for you Pacific guys :) )
And yeah, I also have my posting marathon each mrning :)
@ Grymblade:
Yeah, just hop off the boat and find your way to the Golden Goblin.
I like wakign up in the morning and my first act of the day being critting people. I think Gerlicks curse has finally been lifted by Emil's positive attitude and joy for life. :P
Don't care for soft rock though. GIVE ME SLAYERRRR!!!!
I found the original recruitment thread and if we build off of that then - "The following items will be 'given' to you (no cost for purchase): backpack, waterskin, 1 days rations, flint and steel"
but couldnt find anything else on starting wealth. Are we going with standard?
@ Kabal:
Good question, I haven't even looked at the orginal recruitment thread. Yes, take those things for free and otherwise normal starting wealth.
@ Karlan:
Still not enough, not over yet!
@ Solaric:
I will personally de-knight Solaric if he flees :)
Thanks Zyren
x10 = 160
@ Karlan: My bad, didn't see the second shield damage roll..*sob*
Whats happening?
*crosses fingers* for what?
I have to go to court over a custody issue. It's been a long, drawn out, heart breaking process and it's finally achieving some headway.
I think the whole campfire crew wishes you the best of luck!
Thanks Zyren, I'm headed out in about 10 minutes. I'm just hoping this doesn't take all day. I hate sitting there listening to other peoples problems knowing that I'm about to have to go up there and talk about my own in front of a courtroom full of people. *Sigh*
I also hate going to court. Goodluck and I hope it all works out well for you!
Also: I'm in Portland, Oregon of the USA. I think that's GMT +8, but whatever the Pacific coast time is would be my time (yeah, I'm still that ignorant about some things).
I have to admit that I have never been to a court *_*

and don't miss a day or two or you're coming back to 53 posts just on this thread!
I already noticed that just this weekend.

go for it. Pitr won't stop you. ; )
medium dragon possibly. anything bigger, hell NO!
As I wrote in the recruitment thread, we're a rather prolific bunch :)
For the newcomers: Check my profile for your campaign to get infos on NPCs, maps, handouts, a journal etc.
I tend to be asleep during the busiest times of my campaigns here, so sometimes I'll come back to about 14-20 posts in each game thread and almost 40 in the OOC thread that I have to read through :P
I've started staying up later or waking up earlier, depending on what I do day by day, just so I can break up that gap of inactivity.
Ugh, I wish I could say that I had never been in a court room. It didn't go perfectly as planned, but it went well enough. I will be so glad when this is all over with.
I live in Wichita, KS (please no Wizard of Oz jokes, I really don't think they're funny) which is GMT-5:00. I'm usually checking in between 10:00 - 11:00 am and signing off for the night between 12:00 - 2:00 am. I'm at my computer all day pretty much, so I check it obsessively.
But he gets up so early that I always think he must be from Spain :)
"I admit that I am an early bird, but that's because I have to be at work for 7:30 am every day. Sometimes teaching hours seem so uncivilized. This week I am burning the candle on both ends as I correct final exams every free moment, but by next week I will be free! For the summer I will become more of a night owl and less of an early bird." :-)
Ha, and I am trying to finish assignments, as opposed to being the one marking them. Should have this qualification knocked over in a few weeks... then start my next one. Yay :p.
We had exam week the week I got back to work - so I think I was generous with marking peoples papers due to being on drugs.
Now that I am off drugs, I look forward to rolling out field in a few weeks (medical clearance pending) for a few days. Want to test out some of my new cold weather kit.
