I am so, so very sorry- I had forgotten completely about expressing interest in this.
I'll go open the SRD and slap together a character, if my internet will keep working for long enough, that is.
I feel bad for keeping everyone waiting... thanks for PMing me, although you could have done it far sooner. :P I am pretty forgetful, after all.

Haha, well I said we'd been waiting a week, but the thread hasn't been super active most of the time.

This slows it down enough to stick the landing with relatively minor injuries. In Dwarf Fortress, apparently, cats don't do that.

Well, thee's only a certain amount that can be said before the game begins. Maybe we could get the info for our characters about the area while we wait for Yoink?

I agree with Giglamesh.... That would be a good start, whether we were waiting for Yoink or not, though it's up to Neyvn.

Should my character stay human, or should I make him an elf to fit in with the party? :P
I'm not 100% sure of the current party makeup.

I will start writing up the backgroud stuff adter work tonight after work. Question is, would you actually like to fully RP these moments? There will be a lot of moments of name drops and events where certain events are predetrmined and sych... I just need a reminder of if your character is a citizen of Sandpoint at a year gap of 2 years before actual start if adventure...

Edit;
Who was the Ranger who has a Master again? What Race is he...

Remuthra, I have a good idea for a story to give you reason and points of intrest to be at Sandpoint if your willing. Can give you some unique plot points to play with and such...

Oh and Yoink. If I may suggest a class. I would go with a frontline defender or such. A Fighter or Barbarian or one of their archtypes which could help in keeping the monsters at a distance or such as the current team is;
Witch, Cleric, 2 Rangers and a Druid. Sure rhe Rangers can go melee but not sure how effective that would be. Also maybe going with a Backgroud of a Town Guard turned Adventurer oe such, taking Town/Countty Born from the Adventure Player Guide located in OP and the Favoured Son/ Daughter Sheriffs Ally...

Oh, I'm definitely going to be a fighter. And human, now.
Just have to fill out the rest of the sheet.

On melee rangers: The last time I played Pathfinder, most of the party flailed around hopelessly (in our defence, some of us were total newbs) whilst the tiefling ranger whipped out some dual-wield blades and completely owned the shit out of the ettin we'd accidentally summoned- all on his own while the rest of us were incapacitated. :P
It was hilarious. And then there was that one time he 1-shotted a demon lord of some description as it was about to start a dialogue...

"Let us negotiate!" it said, just as the die hit the table. Natural 20.
A couple of rolls on the DM's critical chart later and it was dead.


Crap, it's way too easy to fall into storytelling mode when discussing PnP games. My bad. >.>

As far as background goes, I feel like there should be some things our characters already know that would be difficult to realistically RP. You'd end up with a lot of "Oh, but Sumac? Don't you remember me? We've been having lunch every week for the past year and a half" oddness. That kind of stuff can probably just go in a background document. Other stuff we can RP out.

Actually this is what I am aiming to fix with the RP...

Okay, pretty much done on my sheet- I'll post it into Mythweavers tomorrow.
Human fighter, fairly standard, and I'll go with either just the Favoured Son thing, or Sheriff's ally- either a farmhand striking out for adventure or a local militia kinda fellow, basically.

God damnit. I had my sheet mostly done last night, go to load it this morning afternoon and Mythweavers didn't save it, despite me clicking the 'save changes' button before restarting my computer. >:( I guess I'll probably have to sit this one out.

Well, I do have an old PF sheet sitting in my Mythweavers account (from a game that I don't believe ever started), if I could possibly use that. It's here.
I don't know if that's acceptable? Female dwarven fighter with a pet cat.
If so, I'll take Outsider- Exile and Hard To Kill as my traits.

Edit: Just updated her to have 25 point-buy, it looked like I rolled for the stats.

Just quickly go over her items and backstory to make it fit...
To be honest, a Dwarf can easily go with the same backstory you had before too...

Okay Neyvn, I wrote up a backstory using what I could see in the player guide.
I hope it's good enough, feel free to change/adjust things as you see fit! I'm happy to change Shorast's name if needs be, too- that's just what was on the sheet to begin with, and I kinda like the sound of it.
