After my last post, I got laid up for days with a nasty viral fever. 0/10. Do not recommend.
Now that I am mostly well, I am taking my son on a promised birtday trip over the weekend. I will try to catch up with things next week. I'm rather fond of Brother Yakov, so I hope to get back into this game.

No worries, @timplausible
In the meantime, I'm waiting on you guys to decide what to do. Someone needs to take charge and decide if to open any of the doors, or explore the rest of the castle (up/down the stairs, or the corridor to your left).

It turns out that the crazy around me has sapped all my mental energy. I think I need to step back from all my games until I can get back in a good headspace.
Sorry all. Thanks for the game.

I'm sorry to hear that, @timplausible. I hope the situation improves, and you're always welcome to rejoin the game at any time, when it does.
Everyone else; I'll open the game up for new players. And let me know how you would like to continue - there was one other door on the first floor, and a corridor heading west. There are also stairs heading up, and stairs heading down.

@timplausible My thoughts and well wishes go with you. I hope you feel better soon. It's been a tough time for all of us.

Oops! I did 7, not six, so I guess I'll take the first six. Unless I decide to go Human! Hadn't decided yet... I guess I will!

Hi Drgwen, welcome to the game ;)
There is lots of information on the setting thread, if you're not familiar with the setting (and even if you are - there are some differences between our Karameikos and the official one from the gazetteers). The current party consists of a Human Magic User, a Human Fighter, and an Elven Thief. Since there are so few classes, we don't mind an overlap. You can consider playing a multi-class as well.
And do let me know if you are unhappy with your attribute roll and want to make some adjustments, or if there is anything else I can do to help you get started.

Hi! Thanks for having me! Well, I rolled very blandly, but I can't say the numbers are bad. Two attributes with a +1, the rest a 0. It's fine!
I think I'll go with a human cleric! I've worked one up and submitted the character to the game. Let me know if you see anything I need to change?

@Drgwen # Your character sheet looks fine. I accepted it.
Is she a Traladaran , a Thyatian, or of mixed heritage? Is she a follower of ‘The Faith’, or a member of the Church? These are two very different religions. Anything you can share about Boudica’s upbringing, and general outlook on the world would also be of great help, because I can then include elements from her background into the game.
Lastly, let me know how you prefer to be introduced into the game. Our adventurers are currently investigating the haunted castle of Mistamere. We can assume your character have always been a member of the party, or maybe she also arrived to investigate the ruins in the company of some other adventurer(s), that have either succumbed to the horrors within (or maybe some of them have survived and are still with her). Or you can come up with your own ideas too.

Hi, all. I'm also joining, though I'm not certain as what just yet. GM, could I play a human from the Atruaghin clans? She will be a human fighter, in any case.

Welcome to the game, WhtKnt!
Like I've asked Drgwen, do tell us a bit about your character. And let me know if you have any preference on how to join the rest of the players. Right now, the party is exploring the haunted Mistamere ruins. You could have arrived together with Boudica, or maybe you have been a member of another adventuring party. You can come up with a suggestion of your own too.

Boudica is a Traladaran follower of the Faith. She was raised in the countryside outside of Marilenev and her family keeps to the old ways even after Karameikos invaded and conquered. Boudica remembers as a child the first time Thyatian soldiers came to her village, followed by their priests preaching their Church. She hid under an altar to Petra the Divine Mother to avoid them; she has felt a connection to the Fair Warrior ever since. She harbors some resentments against the Thyatians, but she also understands that the decisions of a ruler are not the same as individual Thyatian citizens she meets. She tries her best to exemplify the principles of the Gentle Queen in life, though at times it is easier to follow Halav the Unconquerable and use violence. Her family still resides in their tiny village in the countryside, but she has taken up the cause of serving Petra's worshippers, wherever she finds them.
I think Boudica was asked by her good friend Prasutagus to explore this ruin. Knowing of her faith and her way with the healing arts, he thought she might be able to get him out of trouble if he had bad luck. He was hoping to find treasure, but he told her that the old ruin was an important lost site for the Faith. So she came along to help her friend, but also to discover something of use to the Faith.
Unfortunately, as they approached the ruin, they were attacked by some goblins and a hobgoblin. They got separated and Boudica slipped into the ruined castle to hide from the goblins.

That sounds great, @Drgwen. I will introduce your character soon, within the upcoming day.
