It'd be a fifth or sixth if Tol comes back. Gala, Béke, Ramiel and Izen.

Oh. Never mind then, I thought we had 3! D: My counting is way off today.

How should I go about this? I feel like a whole thread is bothersome for one person. Is it bad manners to go into other threads and be like 'one spot open join me'?

Yes there has been close calls let's not go undermanned

Just post another one at Games Tavern.

Welcome aboard CancerMan, i'll PM you your choices for merging with the party.

Thanks for having me.

I'll try and look through the old threads, but what characters are active now? I can generate a new character to balance.

Béke Isten - A wood-elf Cleric

Skydut who plays Tol (dwarf rogue) is the only one not posting. As for the current party they have: a cleric, 2 fighters, and a sorcerer.

I'll do the rolling... 11, 12, 17, 13, 7, 14

Since we've got two tanks and a spellcaster, I think I will support the cleric by creating a Druid. Variant human, if allowed.

More details to follow.

I see that the wood elf cleric is of the Nature domain. Perhaps my druid could be connected in some way through the shared environment. I am assuming it's the forest?

Yes, forest would be correct. Some sort of connection between the two sounds cool...

I chose the Folk Hero background. One of the Defining Moments includes "saving people during a natural disaster," so I'm thinking that my druid's connection to the natural world and observations of their surroundings allowed her to predict a flash flood and landslide that would have threatened the wood elf community. Her warnings gave the elves ample time to find safe haven and minimize the damage.

Normally she lives a life of seclusion, guarding and maintaining an ancient ruin (similar to a Hermit background). Today she has emerged from the forest and joined one of the elves from her homeland... for reasons I have yet to figure out.

How does that sound so far?

Any particular reason Silene is at the bar?

How close is the tavern to Béke Isten's homeland? Could she have asked for help? Or...

I'm not sure if szemely had a reason for travelling but the asking for help one could work. She could of told you to stay back while she investigated the camp. Seeing Béke was in no danger from the camp and given Silenes hermit-like nature she was reluctant to approach at first so she followed behind in the shadows but seeing the party come back from the cellar wounded, Silene decided Békes well being was more important than the chances of being shunned again or something to that effect. Or...

I think I will go with the angle discussed in notes, which is that as a druid, Silene divined the aberrations recently dispatched by the party and left her seclusion to investigate. Deep within her grove, Silene consults with the local fauna once a day to get a feel for the area (Speak with Animals spell), and reports of unnatural ROUSes would definitely skew the balance of nature. Additionally, the ancient call of the wild pulls at her blood, directing her to town and the Fiery Grog.

Arriving in the town, Silene went to the tavern to source the mutations, and found that Béke and friends had already taken care of it.

There are still mutations left, they haven't found the source of it though, they do have an idea of what it might be.

Ah, I misread the posts, then. Sorry, trying to catch up while figuring out where the two threads merge got me turned about.

That actually works better, then. If the mutations are still present, all the more reason for Silene's desire for the balance of nature to be restored.

I think I'm ready. Character's submitted and I have a general idea of her personality.

I posted that Béke saw a familiar face so you can either wait for her to come to you or you saw her come down the stairs and you can go to her. If you have any questions or need something cleared up with the story feel free to ask.

So, Béke knows Silene from the time that Silene had warned the wood elves of an impending disaster, in essence saving the village. Silene ends up in the bar for unrelated reasons and Béke catches a glimpse of her as Sylana Vallejo talks to the party.

Sound correct?
