I think all I have left is gear/purchases.

Character sheet submitted.
There are significant changes to this character. Still a Rogue (but an Arcane Trickster vs Inquisitive), and no levels in bard (with plans of taking some levels in Fighter instead, at some point). As for race, a much simpler, reflavored elf with a pet mouse (Urchin background) and a pet owl (find familiar spell).

A Traveling physician, a nomad and a psionic rogue/bard walk into a bar. How did you three meet? Friends from the start? Happenstance?
I would be better if the three of you knew each other before meeting in the woods.
Jorah was traveling about doing some healing. Ran into Dr. Crow saw that some of his healing methods were unconventional.
You questioned him about it started learning from each other a little?
Where does Bard/Rogue come in to this?
Bard/Rogue finds you patients/victims? Finds/steals/aquires medicine the two of you need?
My plan for you 3 was to wait to join the others once they get to a point (They are close but I am not sure how close due to PBP)
Do the three of you want to roleplay in here while we wait for the others to get to the merging point.

Jerinvar has (street) urchin as a background...perhaps he has lived on the streets all his life(even in between adventuring). He became ill (near death even) and was healed/made better by Dr. Crow in some back alley?

As for this:
Do the three of you want to roleplay in here while we wait for the others to get to the merging point.I'm all for starting now. The other group looks fairly ensconced in their current encounter, and with PBP one never really knows how long it will take for their paths to cross.

Just a heads up the start for you guys might be be a little rushed/clunky.
We might have to time skip a few days but we will take it a day at a time.
Just remember any damage/injuries will be gone by the time you meet the rest of the party.

The three of you recently caught wind of a clandestine trade set to take place deep within the shadowy woods beyond the village of Tardide. Word has it that a reclusive apothecary, known to the locals for his mysterious remedies, has concocted a miraculous cure-all cream. The exchange is rumored to be scheduled for the stroke of midnight at the moss-covered ruins of an ancient watchtower. Determined to acquire this coveted elixir by any means necessary, you prepare to venture into the eerie forest, where moonlight barely penetrates the dense canopy and the air is thick with the whispers of old secrets.
You have arrived at the watchtower about an hour before the exchange it suppose to go down. What would your plan be to get the goods?
Each Sqare is 5ft.
The top platform is 80ft up.
Around it is a ruined staircase that stops 20ft from the top.
OOC:
@MaJunior,@Basil,@Sardis Can the three of you describe/post an image of your character. You have arrived at the watchtower about an hour before the exchange it suppose to go down. What would your plan be to get the goods?

The Watch Tower. Each Sqare is 5ft.

OOC: Do we have any information as to who the other party is in this exchange? The Apothecary (and any he brings with him) would be one side? Have we heard anything about the other? Perhaps some related skill checks to see what we may have learned between the time of learning about the exchange and now?

Dr. Crow appears as an older, swarthy male half elf. Slender and tall, his dress is of fine quality, but that of a traveler. Dr Crow is an engaging empathic conversationalist with a bedside manner to match.

[ +- ] Jorah
Jorah is a young man, his bright eyes always alert in his quest for knowledge. He isn't much of a people person, having spent many of his formative years drifting through the world learning what he could, when he could. He knows he isn't smart in the traditional sense, but sees pragmatism as more valuable than book smarts. He generally believes in helping people who need it, and as such has put his divine abilities to work helping the average person overcome injury many times without fee. He has had small hamlets and outposts ask him to stay, but his drive to wander is stronger than any promise of coin or status.

OOC:
Each of you can roll Investigation or Perception to see what you heard. What everyone knows.
Pippin Wobbledew is the gnome Apothecary. Most call him Pip. He spends most of his time in his home, which is hidden somewhere in the forest. No one has been able to locate it yet.
Every so often, he sends a animal messager to a contact. That contact meets him at an arranged place for a trade.
Pip's merchandise is always top notch. You have been able to sample some of his goods in the past. A pipe weed that could mellow an owlbear, Some strange green booze that made everyone glow for a week, and a few other quiet, delightful, but unique items.

The rumors the three of you were able to hear and research afterwards were that the Blackthorns are interested in the Cure-All-Cream.
The Blackthorns
Husband: Garik "Ironhand" Blackthorn
Appearance: Garik is a burly man with a rugged, weathered face marked by a deep scar running from his left temple to his jaw. His dark hair is cropped short, and his piercing green eyes seem to miss nothing. He often wears a leather vest adorned with various trinkets taken from his victims, over a roughspun shirt.
Personality: Garik is cunning and ruthless, known for his quick temper and iron will. Despite his harsh demeanor, he has a fierce loyalty to his wife and a protective nature towards those he considers family.
Skills: Skilled in hand-to-hand combat and proficient with a crossbow. His nickname, "Ironhand," comes from his unparalleled strength and his ability to handle nearly any weapon with ease. He also has a knack for setting traps.
Wife: Lira "Shadowstep" Blackthorn
Appearance: Lira is slender and agile, with long, raven-black hair that falls in waves around her shoulders. Her striking blue eyes are always alert, and she moves with the grace of a dancer. She often wears dark, close-fitting clothes that allow her to blend into the shadows.
Personality: Lira is intelligent and calculating, the brains behind their operations. She is charming when she needs to be, using her wits and allure to manipulate others. Her love for Garik is evident in their interactions, though she remains fiercely independent.
Skills: An expert in stealth and subterfuge, Lira excels at moving silently and remaining unseen. She is proficient with daggers and poisons, and she has a talent for lockpicking and sneaking into heavily guarded places.
Background
Garik and Lira Blackthorn, known collectively as the Blackthorn, are a low-level bandit duo infamous for their small-time heists and robberies around the outskirts of Tardide. Despite their modest beginnings, they have built a reputation for being both formidable and elusive, often striking under the cover of darkness and disappearing without a trace. Their latest scheme involves acquiring the fabled cure-all cream from the reclusive apothecary, a treasure they believe will elevate their status among the criminal underworld.
Motives
The Blackthorn are always on the lookout for opportunities to increase their wealth and influence. The miraculous cream represents not only a potential fortune but also a means to secure their future endeavors. They are determined to obtain it at any cost, making them formidable opponents for anyone attempting to thwart their plans.
