Old copy of the storyline




There is room for one additional character in the hunter group. This character would be added to the existing hunter group.



I'm looking for female players that are interested in playing the maidens as the main characters of the story.

In addition, I can use players of either gender filling sidekick characters that would either play allies that would help and support the maidens on their peril, or hunters that are in charge to look for the maidens and return them to the king.

I'd like to emphasis that, although I'll be using the D&D 3.5e system engine, no knowledge of this engine is required. I can design your character or hold your hand in each step of the progress, and during the game, I'll be taking care of practically all the system-related info. The only mayor difference between freeform and system is that you can't decide for yourself if challenging tasks succeed or not. You do most of the roleplaying like normal, except when, for example, you shoot an arrow at an enemy creature, you can describe yourself firing the arrow, but you can't describe how it would strike or miss, since that is based on the outcome of a die. I'll include the description of that in my own post.

[Sethite]

Could be interesting. I might join.

[Zaer Darkwail]

Intrested as sidekick characther, a one especially tasked find the girls whatever means and bring them in.

Maiden intro:
Eclyssa looked across the wagon, sitting with her back against the front wall, her arms crossed just below her ample breasts. It was getting rather crowded. She'd been in the wagon since the guards bought her, back in Solviss, a couple of weeks ago, only permitted outside three times a day briefly for nature calls. Since then, the caravan had passed through Enn, Zanghar and Daron, picking up an additional maiden at every city, sometimes two. She must've been relatively lucky, as whoever was picked up in Corinth had to endure a trip around the entire kingdom like this. The caravan was now on it's way back towards Zanghar and then on to Kobal City.

In a week or two, she'd be one of the King's wifes. She didn't really know what to expect, and didn't really bother trying to imagine it. She'd found out eventually, and it's not like she had any choice in the matter. If the guards find you a good candidate to be one of the King's wifes, then nobody had anything to say into the matter. Her dad must've been lucky, though, with the 1000 gold pieces he earned from this. She wasn't too surprised about being picked. She had received just enough from her elven grandmother to have a streak of exoticness, but not too much to prevent a voluptrous human body. Long, thick black hair hung down her head, held back by the ears that showed just a hint of her elven ancestry. Large green elvenlike eyes besetted an otherwise round human face.

The women in the wagon were silent. The guards didn't like them talking with each other, and none really felt like talking to the guards. They weren't required to sit on their own, though, and some of the women were seeking comfort in the arms of another. A strange atmosphere hung through the caravan. Nobody really enjoyed going this far south. There were just too many weird things crawling around in this region. The half-elven maiden admitted she'd be more assured herself as well, once the city walls of Zanghar were in sight again.

Suddenly, an uproar unleashed throughout the caravan. Quickly, Eclyssa looked out to see what's going on, and once she saw it, her heart skipped a beat. The Dragon! It was diving directly at them. The wagon was in the middle of the caravan, right where the wyrm was landing. He bashed against the wagon, as he landed on the ground, knocking it over. As the women slided down the floor against one of the sides, the roof broke with a loud cracking sound. Panic ensued. The horses that were attached to the wagon staggered and buckled. While some of the bravest guards fired their crossbows at the beast, most of them tried to flee the scene in panic.

Eclyssa saw her chance. Nobody was paying them any attention now, and she stood up, and threw herself against the split roof, knocking part of it aside. She ran through the exit, towards the forest, hoping to seek refure here, vaguely noticing most of the other women escaping the wagon behind her, also fleeding from the scene. Just as Eclyssa thought she was going to make it, the dragon changed facing, sweeping his big tail over the ground, hitting Eclyssa hard in the back. She wondered if her spine was broken, as she was sent flying, ending head-first in collision with a tree. As her vision started to blur due to the blood streaming from her forehead, she saw some of the others running past her, seeking refuge from the dragon between the trees, before her eyes shut, to never open again.

Note: Eclyssa is an NPC, and one destined to die in a pitiful manner. Blood and injury is part of combat, which can happen a lot in a D&D setting. However, using blood and injury as part of a sexual encounter doesn't thrill me in the least (and I'm not sure it's even allowed by the site rules, falling under gore). In addition, I'm not planning on getting the characters killed or seriously injured (Of course you will lose hit points in combat encounters), so you don't have to be afraid of ending up anyway like Eclyssa did.



Hunter intro:
The sound of footsteps echoed through the castle hallways, as Rennell hurried towards the king's private chambers. It wasn't uncommon that the king wanted to speak with him, but the guy who informed him, told him to go directly. This made him curious. Something must've pissed the king off big time.

As the hunter arrived at the king's chambers, he bashed his fist a couple of times against the door. After a couple of seconds, a naked, largebreasted redhead opened the doors for him, and he took a moment to appreciate her beauty, before his eyes met that of Damien Kobal, his king, sitting naked on the side of his bed, another naked young woman, a brunette with petite breasts, straddling his lap. Though the brunette prevented sight of the king's private parts, Rennell knew he was one of the few Damien trusted enough to talk to him in this matter.

The girl that closed the doors behind Rennell noticed the interest he showed in her, and pushed her body against his side, standing on her toes, so she could reach the neck of the tall, muscled hunter, and gently lick it as the king adressed him in a voice more demanding than Rennell expected: "Word has reached me from Zanghar that the caravan that was to ship the maidens here never returned after picking up the maidens from Daron. I want you to go there immediately and check what happened. It's been nearly a year since I had fresh maidens, and I'm not going to limit myself to the few chosen ones in the city."

Rennell regretted that the king urged him to get into action directly. The redhead had seriously aroused him by now, and he wouldn't have minded playing with her a bit, even though he wasn't allowed to have intercourse with her. Alas, Rennell nodded to Damien with a short "yessir." as he fondled the redhead's butt, who released him to open the doors again. A small yelp released from her, when he smacked her ass hard as he walked out of the room, not looking back while she closed the doors again behind him.

Note: Rennell is available as a sidekick PC. His name can be changed if you don't like it. If we have more than 1 hunter player, whoever plays Rennell is in charge of contacting the other hunter characters before setting off in the search.

Edit: Claimed by Zaer Darkwail.

[Xillen]

Moved the background info to the OOC thread.

[Xillen]

Moved the Character Generation Rules to the OOC thread.

[Zaer Darkwail]

I am fine whit the name and I think I make a simple plain characther; A human ranger. I am intrested for one PrC which would suit this setting (and hunters role) excelently but it is from Cityscape. It was the special bountyhunter PrC (not similar to Bloodhound, but simply plain nastier in combat overall and specialized hurt victims whitout doing lethal damage and using whips).

Anycase making char soon and also sending details of the PrC in PM.

[Xillen]

Moved the Character Sheet template to the OOC thread.

[Zaer Darkwail]

Well, I am familiar with the DnD well enough so I can handle char creation just myself :).

[Xillen]

Moved the Kobal Hunter custom class to the OOC thread.

[Zaer Darkwail]

Hmmm, nice core class variant from Crimson Scourge. But as suggestion would this variant could have all three profincies (bola, net and whip) but then he would not have martial weapon profiency (or knows profiency only to short sword) from 1lvl?

[Xillen]

Keep in mind that you'll have to go find them somewhere in the wilderness, and you want to be able to kill monsters you come across, so I rather not take all your Martial Weapon Proficiencies away.

Also, that way it doesn't work out when you'd take another Combat Style, or become an Ex-hunter.

Also, I'm hoping this kind of talk doesn't scare people away that aren't fond of statted games. I'll be taking care of pretty much all of it during gameplay, so it shouldn't be a hindrace.

[Ophelia]

I'd like to join too.

editted:
just for my own reference in knowing which city is which.

[Xillen]

Welcome aboard, Ophelia, and thanks for the image.

Okay, 3 maidens. Just 1 more person in the maiden group (either maiden or ally, though maiden is preferred) and we're ready to go.

Since we got at least one hunter, I'd prefer another hunter or two, since I'll have to write that out anyhow, and might as well have a small group for that then. But we could do with just one. Funny, I didn't think finding hunters would be a problem before I started this.

[Zaer Darkwail]

In here elliquiy most folks prefer to be submissive than doms (if speaking female players). There are switches and very few rare who are strongly dominant. Anycase working on Rennell as we speak and it would be nice to have female hunter both as his toy and working associate :).

[Xillen]

Managed to contact Sethite, so I will work on completing her character now. Elayne's and Ophelia's characters should also be about done. I would've preferred a 4th player for a more rounded party, but this thread has been up for over a week, so I guess we'll just go with 3 people in the maiden group.

Zaer is still on his own. Well, do you want to wait a little more to see if there's any more interest, or solo your way through? If we'd do it solo, I think I'll raise your level by one, which optionally gives you access to Leadership as well.

Oh, and I did some shopping, so the list of books expanded slightly.

[Sethite]

I'm finally ready so I'm sure we can start soon.

[Ophelia]

I'm gonna edit this later heh

Well, I would pick Improved Disarm as 6lvl feat than eladership but Ic an use some fo my cahs to 'buy' people under my employment and which are mostly fobber to the maidens to deal whit level wise.

[Xillen]

That's an option, though of course their effectiveness is much less.

[Zaer Darkwail]

Between a 4lvl cohort plus handfull a npc's who I dont need pay (followers use same mechnaics as npcs anyway, npc class and stats) and between saving a feat and just paying my around 200g for bunch of thugs for month's payment (from cash where I cant buy much magic stuff anyway) is more beneficial for me. But it seems I will solo this anyway it seems.

Out of character discussion
Maiden storyline
Hunter storyline
Characters

Sethite/Elayne/Ophelia, go ahead and post your character and write in the Maiden storyline (Eclyssa already opened the way for you ;)).
I think it's best if Ophelia finds a new Animal Companion, instead of having something following her all that distance. Besides, the animal she wanted is more abundant here. I'll post it's stats once she found one.

Zaer Darkwail, I guess there won't be any other hunters, so go ahead and give your character 1 more level. Note, I DO count Barbed Bola's from CW as Bola's for the sake of feats. Not that that really helps you out, as you can use either one for subdual and lethal damage anyhow. Do you want to provide Dark's stats yourself, or do you want me to stat him out?

Oh, and if you want, I'll let you recruit some troopers instead of local thugs, which someone with your rang can get for the same price (3 silver per day). Still level 2 human male warriors, but better geared.

[Muse]

Hm...  Is it too late to recruit another hunter?  And if so, what's the posting rate of the game? 

[Xillen]

:o

Nope. We're about to start, but haven't done so yet, so no problem. Means Zaer can leave his character at level 5, and you can make a lvl 5 character to accompany him.

Note: Though Zaer plays Rennell, that doesn't give him any power over you. Storywise, if Rennell would try to boss you around, there's nothing stopping you from walking away and hunt the Maiden's to get the reward from it on your own. Not that I'd recommend doing that, but it's just an indication of the power levels. That's assuming you're playing a male hunter. Were you to play a female hunter, the laws force you to take a more submissive stance.

If you want to discuss some stuff in detail, you can hop on the chat and call my name.

As for the posting rates, I'll check the threads at least daily (not counting absences, which are sort of rare), and reply when there's enough player input to reply to. It can vary wildly and be more often than daily, but since I can't guarantee that, I'll just settle for daily.

hm...  Hey, Zaer, would you like to have your own slave girl who accompanies you on the hunts and enjoys the captives with you with permission? 

[Zaer Darkwail]

Sure :). I would not mind. But note I am martial inclined characther whit alot skills spreaded every direction so pick a class what I have not covered. Somesort spellcaster would be nice (sorceress perhaps)? Anycase up to you what you play racially or class wise.

Anycase I am happy pick soldiers instead thugs to get better geared hired help for the job :). Anycase the gold what I distributed to my followers covers the payment (even so that bribing the soldiers is near impossible and ar epaid ENOUGh to leave female prisoners alone and satisfy their lusts whit hired/bought women). Also gold cna be distributed to misc gears for the soldiers, like tents, rations, tindertwigs etc.

Actually, for the troopers, their payment is standard issue payment, and doesn't include counter-bribe money. However, they are law-enforcers working for a highranking law-enforcer, so as long as you stick to law-enforcement, they won't bail on you. Their loyalty to the king is pretty high, making them near-unbribeable as long as your motivations seem to match the king's.

As for female prisoners, virgin prisoners would be king's property and not to be touched, they are aware of that. However, might a prisoner have lost her virginity before being captured, the king would have lost his interest, and her captors would be free to do with her as they please. Your higher rank would give you first turn of course. In the chance that you might capture a player character, please abide by their O/O. If another player is being discomforted, they can PM me, and I'll somehow get them out of your hands instantly.

There is a hunter thread up, but please refrain from posting in there until Muse and you sorted things out.

Maidens, please don't forget to post your character sheet in the character thread.

[Zaer Darkwail]

Ok, Understood. Then the money what I reserved is for long term payment. But evne then fi I pay them for around 4 months I would have some left overs.

[Xillen]

Hmm, Ophelia seems to have disappeared, and I'm not entirely sure what to do with the game at the moment. :(

[Zaer Darkwail]

PM some your writing partners and ask are they intrested to join :).

[Xillen]

Hmm, I haven't been around very long yet, and that feels kinda rude to do. Same thing when Muse asked me about my cohort for his campaign...

[Zaer Darkwail]

There isnothing bad to ask. Like PM likethis; 'Hey! Are you intrested on DnD 3.5 game which is in Dark Sun Setting? I would need maidens to be captured by slavers who are other PC's.'

[Xillen]

Now you're mixing two games up.

And maybe I'm too polite to bug people with that kind of questions. See, they could've respond here if they were interested in the first place...

[Muse]

Hey, xillen, sorry to be out of touch so long.  I left a message on your IM asking if I'd sent you a charecter sheet or not? 

[Zaer Darkwail]

Now you're mixing two games up.

And maybe I'm too polite to bug people with that kind of questions. See, they could've respond here if they were interested in the first place...

Yeah, I mixed two games up but question form would remain same :P. Anycase some folk may not see the add for this game (not checking the thread) or they do not check it because they assume it is full.

[Xillen]

Airindel showed interest, so I'll give her a bit of time to make her character and post in the thread as well. Sorry for the holdup, but then there is at least a small party.

If Ophelia might show up later, I can always think of something to guide her character to the others.

[Xillen]

I'm thinking about just closing this down... Seems like there's a lot to invest to get this rolling and little gain. :(

[Zaer Darkwail]

Awwww, sad to hear that :(. This had quite alot promising. I can go advertise this game for some folks if you like.

[Xillen]

Won't stop ya, and if there was like enough people showing interest, I'm fine with picking this up. Just right now I'm not in the mood to push things onward if the interest in it is on the low side.

Though maybe it's a good idea to wait until after the busy Decembermonth.

[Xillen]

Trying to restart this game, now that I'm back. Since system seemed to keep a lot of people away, I'm opting on perhaps switching to freeform, hoping it'll stay in balance somehow, so not sure about the decision yet (guess it depends on interest).

Either way, it'll be in a D&Dish universe, so high fantasy. People should still pick a race and decide what they're good at: Fighting, Spellcasting, Healing, etc..., though it doesn't have to be 1:1 with D&D classes.

But I guess I'll start with an interest check first.

[DreadD]

I'd, er, be interstead in running something, totally willing to do a Maiden.  If you were to keep it in 3.5, which I have no trouble with, what books would be permissible to use?

[Zaer Darkwail]

Expanded psionics handbook and complete psionics were allowed. I had made a Divine Mind characther aiming towards Warmind PrC. Basically a very skilled combatant who boosted others passively while he could self-boost himself with psionic powers.

[Xillen]

DreadD> There's a list of books in my possession in the thread, around 5th reply. Limiting it to that would help me out, though I could borrow books if really needed. I'm not allowing anything I can't get a hold of somehow.

If you have great ideas, then I don't mind to work with that, check the Kobal Hunter earlier in this thread for example.



Zaer> You're messing up two games yet again ;) You were the Urban Hunter (Unearthed Arcana) and Crimson Scourge (Cityscape) mix.

Do I still count you in?

[DreadD]

Oh, that looks good, I'm changing my original plans to something you actually have that should prove to be at least mooooderately twisted, but before I do all the number-crunch, shall we wait and see if other people would prefer free-form?

[Zaer Darkwail]

Oh, yeah, I am still in yes :). Doh, both games kinda died so I get mixed up when old threads pop up :P.

[Airindel]

Your Maiden Sorceress is here, my dear Xillen.

[Xillen]

Ok, nice, that's the 1st maiden ;)

DreadD decided to join as an ally of the maiden

[Xillen]

Elayne is also still game, and Seara decided to join the maidens in their perils, bringing us to three maidens right now. There's room for 1 more, but we got enough to get things rolling. I've created a new Maiden thread, located here: New Maiden storyline

We can use the same OOC/Hunter/Character thread. Airindel and Elayne can copy their initial posts from the old thread, and Seara can write her first reply as well. I'll wait with replying, until we pinned the Maiden players down.

[Zaer Darkwail]

I recall I posted in the old hunter's thread, Bliss was meanted to be my partner but she never gived details of her char.

[Xillen]

We'll keep using that hunter thread, as it's not at all a hindrace to our restart, unlike the maiden game that had some disappearing players in it, as well as my reply that prevents the intro of new maidens.

But Bliss, as much as I'd love her to be, was never actually part of the game. Are you perhaps refering to Muse? I've PMed and IMed him, but no response so far. We'll see if he's still interested. Kazae also showed interest in a hunter role, but he didn't confirm it yet.

[Zaer Darkwail]

Yeh, I meanted Muse yes :P. I got people mixed up -_-

Anycase I post again in the thread (if I find it again) to start this.

[Xillen]

There's a link to it in the initial post of all the game-related threads.

But as much as I appreciate your eagerness, would you mind removing that post, and holding it, until we know who we have as the hunter players, as well as giving them a chance to interact, and perhaps handle some precautions, while still in the city.

Also, do not advance the story too much. It's really a wilderness out there, and you never know what you could've run into in the distance you claim to have travelled?

I'm sorry if I'm being a tad constaining :/

[Zaer Darkwail]

Ok, but I already kinda posted 'ahead' in the story (before I recheck this thread before I posted). If there are other hunters they can be easily added as part of the 'guards' what Rennel picked up, or personal staff from his manor which resides very near the capital.

Also I did post the caravan camps or seeks shelter in tavern but did not say any days or hours or how longer they had traveled besides Rennel's manor.

[Xillen]

I'm sorry, but if you are leaving the city, you have to say which direction you travel to, but you won't arrive there without me informing you that you did so safely.

The other hunters would probably appreciate to be able to introduce themselves instead of falling under generic sturdy men.

Finally, other players might want to make preperations inside the city, so you'll have to negotiate with them before heading out.

I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I'm asking you to recall your post quite a bit :(

[Zaer Darkwail]

Ok *sigh* I edit them.....

[Xillen]

I'm sorry to ask you to pull back. I'd like to reward eagerness, but unfortunately, we'll have other players to think of as well, as well as the general story idea. :(

[Kazae]

Alright, I can work this.

As we're working 3.5, I'll need a sec to flesh out details, but currently a name and class have been determined, though I'm still fine-tuning on race and other such nuances.

[Xillen]

Welcome Kazae :)

Muse has informed me that he's still game, though he decided to go with a new character concept, bringing us to three hunters, which is workable, though 1 or 2 more hunters would be welcome.

Likewise, we could do with 3 maidens, but 1 or 2 are welcome as well. Giving it a few days, before I close the invites.

I originally didn't add the link to the SRD, afraid to scare off people, but I went ahead and post it in the character generation post. (And here for easy reference. ;))

I expanded the background info post, completing information for all nine cities, as well as writing a short description of the most common present intelligent races available, besides humans.

Also, since we're basically closing the old maiden thread down, and nothing adult-related occured in it, it could be moved to one of the normal boards for displayof people that haven't been approved yet. Anyone opposed to that?

[Xillen]

Dabria offered to join as well, placing us with 4 maidens, which looks good.

We could have 1, possibly 2 more hunters, but that's about it I think. Don't want to crap stuff too much.

Edit: NikitaFirestar was already comtemplating earlier and decided that she want to play as well. I'm locking Maiden applications as of now.

[Hunter]

*holds up hand*  I'll take a crack at this, things have been a bit dry for me lately.  I'll put in a hunter application shortly.

[Zaer Darkwail]

Nice, I was afraid I am alone hunting five maidens plus their ally. Anycase I am ranger class wise but focused more on urban tracking but can track well at wilds. So a caster, full time fighter or someone more sneaky focused or ranged combatant would be nice to form good 'party'. I doubt cleric as spellcaster is counted as 'healer' but someone able cure condittions would be nice.

[Xillen]

Welcome aboard, Hunter.

I have Zaer, Muse, Kazae and Hunter as Hunters now, which should be fine. There's room for 1 more hunter if someone's really interested, but we're not in need.

Maidens: When your character concept is done, you can reply in the Maiden thread. I'll post my first reply after all Maiden's posted.

Hunters: When your character concept is done, please post a suggestion in the OOC thread (links at the index of each game-related thread) where Zaer can find you, so he can pick you up IC.

If you post your character in the character thread, please make it complete. It's making it a lot easier on me if all the data is together in one thread, so I can quickly look it up, than when I have to look all over the place in OOC, Interest and PM's, since I'm not always updating from my home computer.

[Zaer Darkwail]

Hmmm, hunter's char is dual wielding melee combatant it seems. But it seems my char is still physically better at melee combat or at least knows some exotic tricks as bountyhunter. Just wonder how I would know him if I know him at all?

Everyone got their ticket for the plot train?  (TOOT!)

[Zaer Darkwail]

*jumps into train*

[Xillen]

Aight. I'm considering putting a human female healer5 as an NPC in the Hunter party. (Unless you guys can find someone willing to play her :p)

Do you guys trust a crossbow in her hands, or do you prefer her unarmed?

[Zaer Darkwail]

Depends from what background she is from? For self defence I would give her only dagger and order her stay back from melee and take cover incase ranged attacks (if healer gets nailed who heals us then :P). But if she is diciplined slave from Hextor's temple then I could arm her better.

Also I can ask around for player for her, would like able use her sexually during the journey but knowing your difficulties would not press it if she's npc.

[Xillen]

It wouldn't catch my interest, but I wouldn't mind to roleplay it out, as it's just an NPC, so you can have fun with her either way, but yeah, if you can find someone to actually play her, go ahead :)

[Zaer Darkwail]

*trying now*

Anycase I asked that one more guy (or two others) I have sended messengers come to tavern so once their chars get approved and posted in charsheet thread they can post in tavern.

[Xillen]

Ok, the roll goes to Trieste.

And with that, we're pretty much filled up I'm afraid.

* Xillen wonders what he pulled on himself :p

[Hunter]

I think you're going to find out.  *cackles evilly*

[Xillen]

Actually had quite a few more people showing their interest and asking me if there is still room. ???

*debates setting up a seperate story thread*

[Xillen]

Airindel has informed me that she's currently unable to participate in group games and decided to tag out of the game. She did tell me she was ok with someone else taking over her character, so I'm wondering if anyone is interested in doing so.

[Xillen]

Still hoping on interest from someone as a replacement.

There must be someone interested in playing a maiden, who's currently captured in the hands of a dryad who's using her for her own fun? :P

(Class abilities have not yet been used, so most of the characters stats can be messed around if desired).

[Xillen]

Checked out the current hunter roster, and considered that I could do with an additional hunter player or two as well.

Taking over one existing character is possible, but new characters can also be added.

[Paradox]

If you'll be on a little later tonight, I'd be glad to draw up a new hunter. I'm familiar with the 3.5 rules and I have all the core books, as well as number of the supplements and Complete series, so there'd be no delay due to having to teach me the system or guide me through the creation process.

[Xillen]

Define later tonight :P I'm living in Europe, though I'm not gonna crash that early.

Did you have a class in mind?

[Trieste]

Bwahaha, fresh meat!

Er, I mean.

Hi. :)

[Paradox]

Later tonight as in, say, four to six hours from now?


A Goddess just called me fresh meat...
*starts to sweat profusely for some inexplicable reason*

[Xillen]

I'm probably gonna crash somewhere between four and six hours from now, whenever my mind will stop working.

Oh, and don't worry about Trieste, her character's actually property of the Hunter group :P

[Paradox]

Could you give me a quick run-down on the story line? I'm reading through some of the posts, but a concise description would help too if you have time

[Xillen]

Rennell (Zaer's character) was ordered to go after the escaped maidens. He sent some lackeys around the city (Kobal City, which is the capital city) to recruit any mercenaries to join him in the task. They left the city a couple of hours ago, but discovered that some kind of monstrous creature is roaming the countryside. Rennell wants to visit a nearby town to learn more about this pest.

If you roll a new character, you could come from the city, catching up with them. They could find you along the way, where you decide to join them, or you could be from the village that I think they're heading for right now.

[Paradox]

How about...

A half-elf cleric who has a distinct disdain for Elvenkind? He'd be wandering nearby the party's area and meet up with them before they made it to the village?

or

A Gnomish ranger, if you don't mind Small folks?

[Paradox]

Or if you want more stock characters for Hunting purposes, a Human ranger.

[Xillen]

We currently have a Cleric, a Ranger, a Rogue, and if Video's still on board, a Fighter, in case that might influence your decision.

A Half-Elf male could certainly hate elves with the story's background.

A Gnome would come from outside the country, and would be unheard of by most people, mostly mistaken for a large halfling, or perhaps a very slender Dwarf.

I actually don't encourage classes that highly resemble hunterlike features. You're a group, and will have to work as a group to deal with the encounters. Considering your goal, a Ranger is pretty useful, but Zaer has that covered. For the rest, it works out better with an Arcanist, a Divinist and a Skillmonkey, like normal. Most is actually covered, save for the arcanist, which is not required perse, considering it's relatively lowlevel, so pick whatever class you like.

[Paradox]

Okay well please save me a spot! I'll start crafting the sheet tonight.

One question, for stats:

Point buy system or on-site dice roller?

And one other-

What level should I make this character, when I draw him up?

[Xillen]

If you check the OOC thread at https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=11707;all

You will find a few posts of background information, followed by the rules for making a character. :)

[Trieste]

Take a look at the characters thread: https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=11710.0

Also, there is a background story thread somewhere, and an OOC thread (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=11707) that discusses the finer points of world setting, chargen, and house rules.

*is a helpful helpermonkey, yes she is*

*is not apparently quick enough to be a helpful helpermonkey before Xil posts* :(

[Xillen]

Aww... *hugs Trieste for comfort* Or would spanking be better? :P

[Paradox]

Oh.

Oh my.

Thank you for that! Having seen the allowed sources, I'll come up with something a bit more complex. Thanks again, and I'll PM you later today once I've done a bit more reading.

[Xillen]

Thanks to Coglio, I'm no longer looking for a replacement. :) However, I'm open for people that have a general interest in the game. It might be possible to squeeze someone in.

Checked out the current hunter roster, and considered that I could do with an additional hunter player or two as well.

Taking over one existing character is possible, but new characters can also be added.

With Paradox joining, we're no longer short, but if someone's interested, there would be room.

[kongming]

*mulls* I'm interested, but only if it's no trouble to add another. I mean, I am in plenty of games, so I won't cry if you say no, but I can't turn down an excuse to play with numbers and then play with the character attached to those numbers.

[Xillen]

I'm interested, but only if it's no trouble to add another.

Most likely, with the current interest, I might be able to form a seperate party, which would do away with the troubles of new players being pushed into the group. It's the same general story idea, and the same world, but these maidens have fled in a slightly different direction, so their adventures will be seperate from those of the existing group. They would receive their own unique encounters of course, not just a repeat of the other game.

[Xillen]

The second Maiden group is about to start. There is still room for one more maiden in that group, but only if I'm informed about it on short notice.
There is also room for one additional character in the hunter group. This character would be added to the existing hunter group.

[Xillen]

Sethite filled the last Maiden spot.

There is room for 1-2 hunter players, which can be of any gender.

[Le RandomBloke]

I'd be willing to play as a hunter, but alot of hand-holding would be required being new and all. So that's up to you.

[Xillen]

Can you contact me over Chat or IM (they're in my profile)?
