Though someone else was going to write about me first?

Quote from: Narf the Mouse;259923Though someone else was going to write about me first?

Oni will be doing that write up, but since the order is more or less determined at this point, there isn't a necessity for going in turn.  You are more than welcome to wait for Oni, if you want to add what he writes to your description of yourself, or you can write something up now.

What are the rates of hire? Assuming I offer my Gauntlets and my Wings to sweeten the pot.

Quote from: DeadUematsu;259943What are the rates of hire? Assuming I offer my Gauntlets and my Wings to sweeten the pot.

Crap, did I goof that up again?  Were you trying to hire them?

They will take 200gp for the first month if you throw in the magic items, give up their share of the magic, and only take a half share of treasure for the both of them.

[Straight face]Of course, they're probably Lawful Evil, so you can trust them.

We already have a lot of hands on deck, so I will definitely need to take into consideration what other people would like.

If you prefer.  As I mentioned when I thought Narf wanted the fighters ( ), you need only give instructions occasionlly, I will run them the rest of the time.

But now would be a good time to think about how to bring it up with the others.

Outstanding!  Excellent stories, one and all!

We are done with Phase I, everyone did a great job making up some backstory for each other, so everyone gets a bonus of 1000xp!

Ok, tomorrow morning, I will be setting up the next part, and we will continue from there.

Here's what I have so far for my character.  Please review and let me know if you have a comments or concerns.

Good stuff.  Let's have you copy that over to the orginal thread, and edit it out of here to reduce the clutter.

Looks like a worthy addition to the party!

Done.

I would really like to get a feel for the group.  I know this is Pbp, but I was wondering how often everyone feels they can post for this game?  Also, does everyone feel that the weekends should be off limits?  If anyone can't attend or something comes up, will they let the others know so the game might continue?  

Just a few thoughts.

Ok, the Captain has turned off the no smoking sign, you are free to move about the cabin.

You can talk to each other in IC, plan actions in OOC, ask questions in OOC or the original thread, or whatever.

I would like to have a once a day posting minimum, but we can work around and see what is comfortable for everyone.  Realizing we have some overseas participants, they may be responding a bit later in the day than the rest of us.

Just to keep the questions and answers in sync, if there are any questions about X2 or the adventure itself, lets try to keep those in OOC, and any questions regarding rules in general in the original thread.  Not a punishable offence, of course, but I think it will help keep things running smoothly.  I may whip up a few more guidelines over the weekend, and see where we are Monday morning.  Of course, I will be on the thread this weekend, so this isn't a call to stop all action for two days or anything.  

Ok, just so I have straight in my own head , these are the people currently in play in the tavern?  Do I have the gender/race correct for everyone?

Snorri Steelskin: Dwarf male Fighter [One Horse Town]
Heathcliff Baltimore Greensberry: Halfling male Druid [DeadUematsu]
Theile Starslinger: Half-elf male Magic User [timrichter9]
Sander Lightwalker: Human male Cleric [Oni Kadaki]
Semina: Human female Monk [Venosha]
Kagan-Zur: Half-orc male Cleric/Assassin [GrayPumpkin]
Naren Ezer: Human male Magic User [Narf the Mouse]
Thraim Glorerg: Dwarf male Fighter/Thief [Drohem]

Got mine right.
