We will be using maptool right?

[Akigagak]

 I've got one sheet done, I think. Fluff is going to be on it soon. But I'm going to be statting up another couple of chars in case the party needs something other than a Fey Enchanter.

The back-story for Maelrigar Desraktu and Mysteller the Elf is going swimmingly. hurhurhur.

[Heron TSG]

Spoiler: And it's better than I thought it would be. (click to show/hide)

Mysteller's parents were killed in a fire that burned their entire farm to the ground, so the church of Osprem(which had been reduced to tending river voyages, and was now valued for little more than keeping small fishing vessels afloat) took her in and taught her the clerical ways. Naturally taking to research she poured through the church's library, seeking ever older and more obscure tomes. Eventually she encountered an ancient book that mentioned a conflict between Osprem and an enemy.

Mysteller was stunned by a magnificent illustration of a mighty woman atop a massive fish charging into a vast, enveloping storm. It was an entire world of turbulent waters, pummeled mercilessly buy massive hailstones, alighted by a legion of lightning strikes, never before had she considered such a thing. That night she was accosted by dreams of great expanses of water with a foreboding sense of turmoil, bound beneath a calm surface, ferocious to be released, being looked upon by a helpless spirit of freedom. She awoke that night with a quest, to find and bless every great body of water in the world, and a name, Procan...

 She stayed at the church, continuing her studies, and when the time came to channel divine powers she focused upon a design that was concealed upon the reverse side of her holy symbol. However, during her studies she uncovered that her parents had been hunted by a fire demon. When the church found this out they expelled her from the order for being cursed by their mortal enemies, fire creatures. She was exiled from the church, and escorted from the city, to displace any future attacks.
 Seeking shelter she camped by a nearby river, where she stayed for several days, gaining sustenance from magic and the water that she was familiar with. One day, she was suddenly attacked by a creature made out of fire!

Maelrigar's tribe lived on the banks of the river [insert name of a river] for generations, supporting themselves by fishing and hunting. However, the fish population began to thin, and the War Chief decided that they needed to make sacrifices to appease Sekolah, evil goddess of the waters. In truth, this was an excuse to remove his enemies, many of whom were slain in brutal rituals. The young warrior Maelrigar Desraktu, a heathen orc who was the most gifted combatant of his generation, knew that he would soon be chosen as a sacrifice, by fear that one day he would challenge the chief for leadership.

Whereas most of the tribe worshiped Sekolah, Maelrigar insisted on worshiping Procan, the less villainous god of the ocean. Maelrigar was certain that there was an Ocean somewhere, a mythical body of water that tasted of valuable 'salt' and stretched beyond sight. With many successful hunts, showing great courage and skill, none cared to question his faith, but with the newfound fervor of the chief, betrayal was inevitable.

 Instead of staying to meet certain death at the altar, he fled down the river. At first he met little more than fish, and the occasional wild dog. Most of the larger predators were traveling upstream in search of fish. Not long after leaving, he came upon a most curious sight. Some pallid elf was trying to fight off a small fire Elemental. Knowing that Procan hated their kind, he leapt out of the water where he was resting and clove the beast asunder.

Eventually, the two became friends and went through many minor adventures together, but were frequently forced to retreat from some or other monstrous entity. After an unnatural number of encounters with fire creatures, they decide to return to Mysteller's temple to see if they could find information as to why elementals would be pursuing Mysteller, and why and exactly what would kill her parents. To try to prevent future attacks, and possibly gain revenge. The church, however, having forgotten about the earlier incident, assumes that they're just spies, and they get chased out, and are forced to resort to hiding from the city guard. Seeking a path from the city, and the power to survive beyond its walls, the pair stumble upon a huge party of adventurers to join.

Procan's pretty cool, I guess. Eh controls water and doesn't afraid of anything.
_{Get it? One of them is a water orc?}

[Shoruke]

Sorry I've been AFK forever, I've been receiving house guests and attending stuff and whatnot pretty much constantly. There are currently 14 people residing inside my house (which usually contains 4 people, and we have so much junk we feel cramped sometimes).

The good news is that, I have break periods on Mondays/Wednesdays/Fridays, which I have used to do some planning for you guys' first session... I have some encounter tables and maps and stuff done up... I know which way I would like you guys to go first for maximum fun, but you can deviate a little bit and do other stuff if you want. I even have some background events planned out, so if you guys ignore something for too long, the world might change around you. There might be more quests available, or less quests available, or maybe suddenly Rivershire is just gone one day, who knows.

Anyway, I made a spreadsheet to compare when everyone can or cannot attend sessions, and it seems that the weekend is the best time to have sessions, because that is when the most people are able to attend. Since I don't seem to have work this Saturday, I can start the session at either 7:00 PM Saturday (which is a non-guaranteed time on any given week), or 1:30 AM Sunday (a time which is guaranteed to be available each week). Watchoo guys think?

(Also, I'll take a look at that huge list of spells tomorrow, RAM)

[tehstefan]

So how many people have joined?

Just wondering if I should join a waiting list for now or  not.

[Shoruke]

Thus far we have 6 players (or at least, that's how many responses I got to "who can play at these times" earlier), and we can use more.

[Heron TSG]

It sounds as if the game is taking infinite people. Also, if this game conflicts with the 'D&D: The Mercenaries' game, note that I will be more intent upon that game than this one, having had that character longer.

[RAM]

I put all the spells up at once so that they could be reviewed at once, but it should be a long while before I am using anything beyond 1st level. I think that, besides my memorised spells, my character sheet is finished...

[wolfchild]

I still need the complete divine to do my character up (have not recovered my copy yet)

[RAM]

I have it, what were you looking for?
