The backstory in my head so far is ~Izen during the war suffered a close call that would of killed him but instead, thanks to his armor, only left him with a slight limp. After the war he set up his bar and being a war vet it became quite popular. Using this popularity he found the guys who made his armor to thank them for making the armor that saved his life, and found Tol being the only one to live (unless the two characters not made yet want to be tied to his armor also). Tol came into Izens' bar quite often, at first it was for hearing Izens tell the bar patrons how Tol made the armor that saved his life and in-turn be praised for his handiwork, but later he liked Izens company and became close friends. Hanson became a regular, as this new bar became popular, and used his noble status to draw more people to the bar. Izen, liking the extra boom in business, introduced himself to Hanson said thanks and gave him occasional discounts and became close friends. Hanson and Tol can be friends just by seeing each other so often.~ You guys can work out any kinks, things you don't agree with, want to change, or want to add to.

I think that'd be great.

Depending on the response form HypCo to my pm'd question, I may be able to tie my backstory in as well.

On a related note, would ya'll rather have a 'support' focused wizard or a lawful good paladin? Both would fit the setting fairly well.

I vote wizard. But that's my style. Just whatever you want.

Awesome all the characters are up and ready, you guys can finish up any relation to each other you want and we can begin.
@mumphry999 did you choose a defining event?

@mumphry999, Nega_Skell you can tie your characters into the back story so far at the top of this page, create your own between each other or feel free to lone wolf it.

Here's what I have in mind. Let me know if it works...

I envisioned that Izen brews his own (prof brewer's supplies), so we can be partners! That work for you?

Perhaps Izen hired Namfoodle to be an extra brewer after the boom in business?

That sounds good to me! My Character would be out there trying to know everyone and to also help the tavern out with some of my noble pull around these parts.

Looking to start the game at around 6pm pst, I feel that is enough time for you to iron out any backstory you want or leave it as is. Also gives mumphry a chance to work in a backstory or loan wolf it. If everyone is fine with the backstory and wants to start sooner I will start it as soon as everyone posts an ok.

An idea for your backstory and why you guys decided to adventure is the bar burned down? maybe by accident? maybe by a shady organization? Losing most of your funds in the fire you asked your close friends if they wanted to set out on an adventure to help get funds to rebuild (as of now, you find Gala wandering the wilderness alone and decide to accept him into the group so he doesn't have to fend for himself) they agree and you set out, wanting to get away from the town.

I'm cool as long as I saved the banner and a cask of ale that I carry on my back. Just bust it out every battle XD.

yeah i'm thinking it started when you were asleep(by what, who knows?) you were awaken by the smell of smoke and you grabbed the banner and were able to get a cask out, maybe you would of been able to get two but you had to wake up Namfoodle from his brewing cellar/ living quarters you had built for him.

Lol nice Kenny!!! That sounds good also my character would have happily joined to adventure to spread his own/family's ego/fame! All he does is to bring his family more power also his friends safety and joy.

I imagine Izen just being this squat, beefy meat cube covered in heavy armor wearing a cask of ale on his back while he swings around a hammer screaming dwarves profanity.

This is likely over reaching, but as owners of the finest of establishments, we would (likely) have a mule and cart? Namfoodle has quite the load to carry around, all of his tools and such. As for whom burned the tavern, having either a shirked customer or jealous business owner burn the tavern down. It would give a decent launching point.


Additionally, I will be offline most of this evening (most Friday evenings at that). Its bars night.

I think it's assumed we lost all of that in the fire.

That's fair. Namfoodle will have to make do.

yeah my thoughts are the fire was all ready past the point of no return, you got what you could, had no use for the mule and cart so you sold it
