We've got:
Me: Warforged Warden [Defender]
Daryl: Goliath Shaman (which is bigger than me) [Leader]
Gusto: Human Monk [Striker]
Jay: Halfling Rogue [Striker]
Deschain: Hasn't posted officially, but said he'd probably be a Swordmage [Defender]
We're a little low on the ranged death department. But I think we've got a good set of roles.

Repost:
Name: Ezekiel (Zeke if you decide to get friendly)
Race: Warforged / "Golem"
Class: Warden
Background: Don't remember, gives a 4 to Fire Resitance
Height: 6'6"
Weight: 290 lbs
http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/683/ezekiel.jpg
Appearance: Ezekiel is a golem formed from tan-brown earth and stone, similar to above. His head has two glowing yellow eyes, which can change color depending on mood, most notably red when angered or engaged in combat. When on earthen ground, if he stands for longer than a few seconds his feet will meld into the terrain, making it seems as though he had just sprung up from the earth right then and there. He can easily step out of this, however. If Ezekiel is damaged in combat, he may draw strength from the terrain around him (healing surge) and incorporate the new terrain into his body to repair himself. (For example, he would resemble a more dirt-like golem out and about, and possibly a more solid grey stone slab-like appearance in a cave.) This change is usually temporary, however, as the new additions will crumble and fall off as the magic that created him replaces his body proper during an extended rest.
History:
Ezekiel is stone golem that was forged for the sole purpose of serving as a powerful magic-wielder's body guard throughout his travels or as a private sentry for his labs and studies. [Blank - Party or Character] discovered/will discover a deactivated Ezekiel in [Blank - up to you]. Upon restoring power to the mana-drained construction, Ezekiel woke up with no recollection of his previous duties or the identity of his master, who appears to have vanished long since. He has no idea how long it has been, but he acknowledges that the world around him "seems different." With no current purpose, he has vowed himself as the guardian of the character who infused his magic power into him (assuming we have one.) Ezekiel is barely capable of maintaining a social interraction or being creative, but is usually logical in his thought processes, though his priority is above all else to protect his master, even at the risk of his own physical safety, as that is his sole purpose in "life."
Over time he may come to form more loyalties to those around him and grow in worldly experience, but at the moment, the party seems to have gained a brick wall that can punch people.
I left a lot of stuff vague so that Julie could build ther story as she pleases. Ezekiel could have served a good mage, evil mage, the mage could be alive, dead, related to the "big plot", etc. Whatever she wants to go with. I want to be in the dark exactly as much as my charater is.
Also, up to Julie and the rest of you, whoever Ezekiel is going to be tied to can find him pre-game and I'll just be with you at the start, or the party can stumble upon him on their travels. Knowing Julie, the first session would be a bunch of town-romping, so it's unlikely a golem would be found anywhere, so the first option is more likely.

Deschain
Class: Swordmage
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 160 lbs
Motto: "Neither dead nor living, none shall take what is mine by right!"
Appearance: As above, with a brace of daggers across the front and a sword at his right side.
History: He was born the Eldest son of his House, in a family of 6. He possessed some arcane abilities, but had neither the talent nor the inclination to become a magic-user. It was just as well since it would eventually become his duty to take care of his family's sword. Many of his ancestors had been swordmages (using that very same sword) since the bond they formed would be a powerful one. He too followed their path, being instructed in the ways of fighting through a man hired by his father and in magic through the local paladin. After his father was killed he took to the road and has been there for over a decade, surviving on skill and wit alone.
Personality: As a boy, he was always very quiet. It was not that he was sickly, shy, or dumb. It was if he chose his words carefully and spoke only when the situation required. He was by no means docile either, for he trained hard in the arts of war and was not afraid to be challenged. It was rumored among the servants that the young master had no emotion for his expression never changed, despite whether he should have been feeling angry, sad, frustrated, or happy. Nevertheless, he was neither unkind nor stone-hearted. Before he left his House with the sword, the head steward gave him a mask and told him, "Never forget who you are, for surely the world won’t. Make it your strength so it can never be your weakness. Armor yourself in it, and it will never be used to hurt you." Whether he took that advice to heart remains to be seen, but the mask still remains on to this day.
Durandal is a sword that is forged from 'heavy steel' using techniques that were old when the world was new. It was quenched in water mixed with blood of the House's first Lord and blessed by the nameless knight. The weapon is twice as heavy as another of the same size and so the eventual heirs undergo special training to wield it. It is traditionally passed down to the eldest unmarried male who must swear an oath to never surrender it, no matter what cost, and to take no wife and father no sons. Legend holds that it becomes the weapon that its wielder needs the most.
Weapon: Durandal, Daggers, Greatspear/Tratynrs
Armor: Leather armor engraved with the symbol of a tower and rose. Golden Mask

Send me an email or a PM with info on what you plan on doing. :3 Oh, Jay, Deschain, and Doom: Fabulous stuff! I'm already working your backstories in as we speak! (Especially Jay and Deschain...those stories were really engrossing. @_@) And my "deadline", Jay, is going to be Tuesday, please. Keep it comin' folks!Julie, let me know if it's cool that I sorta completely override how Dragonborn clans work in your world.

Doom: I'm a healing Shaman. He's taller than your golem, but he's pretty damn squishy (low strength, low attack, low AC). That makes him need you more, because people think he's a fighter, want to pick fights, and then are just wailing on a guy with a wand.
But if you would rather tie to someone else, that's fine. I wanted to have a character that wouldn't treat your golem like a bitch though, because that was my other choice
. "Slave, shine my shoes!"

I'll have to draw a picture of mine at some point, because I find nothing suitable. For now assume the generic male Goliath picture from the character creator.
Name: Arku
Race: Goliath
Class: Shaman
Age: 33 (Goliaths age at the same pace as humans)
Height: 7'1"
Weight: 260 lbs
Arku is a peaceful, inquisitive goliath who enjoys learning and avoiding trouble. He has lived in a secluded area of the mountains, communing with nature in strange forms (including Ezekiel, should Doomdragon not bail on me). He often trades healing herbs for provisions with towns, travelers, and even the near Dragonborn monastery. He keeps his life simple and doesn't get into the business of others, not wanting his own business pried, nor his mind. He has learned not to be disturbed by memories, although now he feels plagued by dreams.
His life wasn't always this simple and alone. Arku used to live among many goliaths in the distant Sheshkill Mountains, where he learned shamanism from the wisest of his clan, following the hunting of warriors, keeping the village safe. Even then, he was curious, running off from the groups at times to investigate a new patch of forest, or a fresh snow, the tracks of an animal, even into the forbidden canyon. His curiosity brought the death of his tribe when he accidentally awoke the dragon...
After remorse, and abandoning the idea of vengeance against the creature, Arku at first wanted to redeem himself. He could never bring back his friends and family, but he could meet new people, be a good influence on the lives of others, and he hoped one day he could forgive himself... A small human city burned down and Arku felt discouraged. He still hoped to redeem his mistake against his own people, and perhaps make up for his new mistake. As time went on, Arku let more wrong-doings he saw slip by, afraid he would only make things worse. Eventually, he let the world slide off him, retreating to another set of mountains where few people lived. It's easier not to get involved, and he found it was simple to be friendly without causing trouble when he spoke little. Even the memories bothered him less.
For the last year or so, however, dreams have come where he walks a road through an alien forest of strange colors and forms. He ignored them, but they became longer, week by week, and soon he couldn't awake until he reached the end of the path in the forest, to a clearing, and he hasn't yet seen what's waiting at the end. In the past few months, these dreams have begun to attack him even while awake. At first he began passing out, his consciousness shot into the dream path until he found the clearing at the end. Now, it happens maybe once a week, and he'll go on eating or walking or gathering herbs and tree samples, as if his body knows what he needs, but his attention is directed elsewhere. He thinks it might be visions of the Feywild, or some other place he's never been to, but he has no idea. He's avoided doing anything about it, hoping no one notices anything strange, but it's beginning to bother him, and he's considering seeking answers.
SHORT VERSION: Peaceful, curiousl guy, stays out of the way, raised to be a tribal shaman, accidentally caused the destruction of his clan, tried to make up for it, accidentally destroyed a city, thinks he has life figured by not getting in the way, now plagued by dreams of a strange forest road.

And dammit Jay! You don't need fire resistance! Screw you! :moon: (;P)
Also, isn't a parrying dagger a magical item? I thought Julie said no magical items. (Or rather, we had 100 gold and couldn't afford it then. If we get a free magic item I want one. :3) [Edit: Nevermind, just found it as a regular weapon.]
doomdragon6
Oh I see. No special praise for me. ;p I'll might write up a quick "actual" backstory, but I do like the idea of having no idea where he comes from, just like my character would.Send me an email or a PM with info on what you plan on doing. :3 Oh, Jay, Deschain, and Doom: Fabulous stuff! I'm already working your backstories in as we speak! (Especially Jay and Deschain...)
Ahhh, alright. Ya sold me. You gots yerself a golem, buddy!Doom: I'm a healing Shaman. He's taller than your golem, but he's pretty damn squishy (low strength, low attack, low AC). That makes him need you more, because people think he's a fighter, want to pick fights, and then are just wailing on a guy with a wand.
But if you would rather tie to someone else, that's fine. I wanted to have a character that wouldn't treat your golem like a bitch though, because that was my other choice
Oh, I just chose that for the background benefit-- I figured a golem made of stone should have some fire resistance. He's not "actually" from there.I just realized that Doom's and Jay's characters both come from Calimshan!

Hurray! A slav--I mean, a rocky friend.
And yeah, Julie said no magical freebies. She did authorize some stuff for Jay, I think, but from what I understood the basic rule was, your basic weapon, armor, and adventurer's kit were free, then you have 100g you can save for the game's start or spend on items before the game, and anything that might be an exception you gotta run by her.
She's sleeping right now, but I'm sure she'll look over this stuff after work tomorrow.

Summary - Not a whole lot of skills here. Or items for that matter. I'm pretty much just a brick wall that slams into things. ... I really hope I don't get tired of this character soon. XD Oh well. If I do I'll just throw him into some lava or something and roll sum'n else. =P

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Basically my "item goals" for The Zekemeister is, like Serin collecting as many move abilities as possible, Ezekiel will collect as many resistances as possible.
So far I've worked out that I can get 5 (at least within any kind of reasonable time. Reasonable being, uh.. like 2 playing years. Unless we get @#$%ing rich.)
Resist 4 Fire (Background)
Resist 5 (Pick Any) (Armor of Resistance)
Resist 5 Poison (Viper Belt)
Resist 5 Cold (Frostwolf Pelt)
Resist 5 Necrotic (Skull Mask) - Long Way Off
I was also thinking of getting him the Ritual Caster feat, to be like a construct that could perform rituals for the party. But his skills are such shit that nothing would really come out too well. And rituals are effing EXPENSIVE. The book itself, the rituals themselves, the component costs -for- the rituals. Egh. But it'd make sense for a previous mage to let his golem do some of the tedious work.
Oh, and I'm looking at you, Giantkind Gloves. I can start throwing rocks at level 2, and whenever I can afford those I can throw them that much harder. >

Okay. So here're some reference pictures that I drew/coloured/pogified, and my character's final stats. I've altered a few things including ability scores, feats, background benefits, etc. Kara has already multiclassed Avenger so that she can become a more effective combatant and missionary, by picking up Religion training and the Oath of Enmity power, dropping background Religion training and taking a +2 to Diplomacy instead.
Here's the stuff:

*applauds and praises Doom* ^o^ Your character is incredibly deep and well thought out and I wasn't meaning to slight you, I just wanted to acknowledge that I did read the two "next great American/Canadian novels" that were posted and that they were very engaging. I don't ask or expect anyone to write anything like that. They wrote stories to go with their backgrounds for fun (I'm assuming, anyway) and that's great, but even without a story, your golem still excites me ten different levels of FUCK YEAH. These are ALL the most original and intriguing characters I've ever seen in a game I've DMed, and I have DMed quite a bit. I'm ridiculously excited for next week to see everyone in action. X3 We're gonna have a good time. Aaaaand now for a word from our sponsors...
Gusto: I responded to your PM, so please check that out.
Shawnacy: Goblin pyrophile (yes, I made that word up) FTW. And many huggles. I
you.
Deschain: How did you afford a warhorse? Riding horse or camel are the 75 gp choices, I believe. Actually, after the Repeating crossbow, Bolts (100), Tratnyr (3) and Greatspear, you are pretty much broke. I didn't mean you can buy every weapon you think you'd like. I said your weapon (meaning the one you use, your Durandal) was free, along with your basic armor. Everything else you have to buy. You also would have to buy your mount if you want one. So, after a riding horse, you're looking at 25 gp left. Please go through and edit your choices accordingly then post them here. :3 My apologies for the confusion.

Got bored and made this. Thought it might be useful for remembering what afflictions are on whom. You can put these tiny pogs on top of ours by themselves, but I'm also going to add what each status does as Stats on the pogs and save them, so if we want we can "Load Pog" and have the reminder pog + its name and what it does. The Ongoing pog would have a "Type:" where you add something like "Poison 5 (Save)".
I mostly did this cuz I'll be marking a lot of people and getting my +1 AC a bunch, so I made those and then decided to do the rest.
Ennnnn..joy? I guess?
*Obviously, you can get them when we connect, not from this giant sheet.

The thing is, every time you moved a creature you'd have to move two or more pogs. Plus some of them get really complicated, like the ones where Shawn had us all stunned, slowed, immobilized and weakened for varying amounts of turns and saves. I think it'd just be easier and less messy to have every pog have a "status" attribute. It ain't perfect but it's cleaner.
Not that I don't appreciate your effort.

Man, awesome session.
I thought the first encounter was tough, but when we finally got past the Firewall it seemed like things were getting easier. I had my doubts about the Escort the Port mession but it played out okay. But man, when Router showed up?? I never thought we'd beat him, but then Jay's TechSupport class character really saved the day with his Remote Assistance daily. But then Router actually wasn't the bad guy!! It was COMPUTER! I was so shocked! We continued to throw everything we had at it, but nothing seemed to affect it.
So when we tried to get around it instead by equipping Daryl with the Pogs to pass the Gametable skill challenge? Brilliant!
Too bad we're still losing both fights. :|
But I only target AC so I'm useless.

This session went, as it rightfully should, in a completely different direction than I imagined. That, and I figured that after so many high rolls were made against the dragon that weren't hitting, ya'll would have at thought to either:
1. Run, because it might be something crazy over-leveled
2. Gag the elves to get them to stop chanting
3. Go straight for the voice down the hallway
But, hey, that's why D and D is such a great game. You can get all the preconceived notions you like, but that doesn't guarantee that anything will go the way you think it will. I also realized post-game that since everyone is probably used to Shawn's DMing style by now, they would be thinking, "Well, -everything- is killable!" and continue to attempt to annihilate everything. I was planning on having the dragon return to stone when you had silenced the elves and given you another plot reason to be conflicted about killing them, but I decided to have our dragon continue to draw energy from their unconscious, albeit alive, selves. In my mind, the elves had completed the summoning and continuing to chant was just powering it up from then on out.
Aaaaaaaaaaanywho. I know ya'll really just want to see what you found, so here you go:
On the drow warrior you find leather magic armor +1 (gives a +2 AC bonus and weighs 15 lbs), one scimitar (the other is in the pit), one dagger, and a small drawing that looks like a geometrical maze.
On the elven slaves you don't really find nothing of value (everything but their bloodied clothes) except for 6, what would be considered "holy" by the drow, symbols of Lolth.
And, if you examine the ground, which I know the Simkin will, he will find 2 dime-sized emeralds that look just like the eyes of the great dragon. You'll have to have them appraised in the city to find their worth.
I'm sorry that I was so uncertain during the game. I psyched myself out, afraid that I'd let people down if I wasn't the ultimate DM, you know? ^^; But, after talking to Darryl and Shawn, I know better. I just love you guys so much, I want to make those Thursday nights with me rock. =3 Anywho, that's all for now. I look forward to the next session when Doom is there and the plot will thicken like Southern grits left in the fridge! *lol*

Waaaay ahead of ya. He's carrying 6 dead bodies, just so we don't have to strip their worthless clothing from them.
We don't have to collect the crap loot. In Shawn's game there doesn't seem to be a character who would bother with it, so I don't see if he'd need to. No thief classes or personalities. I mean, we're supposed to beat the lich. Once we tell people, they seem more than happy to help us. I don't think we'll be in such high standing for Julie's game, plus we have more scrounging characters in Julie's game who would take all that crap. You know, thieves and poor people.

The session played well enough but it could truly use some subtle improvements as overall I feel that the game drags on especially in combat and the general direction on what the players could do. I'm probably going to beat a dead horse with the following comment but geez, in combat can people kindly keep track when their turns are and actually prepare ahead of time at least a pair of strategies on what they want to do so they don't start any more turns with.... UMMM.... ERRRRR.... MMMMMM.... along with other Yoda-like sounds? Any more turns that start like that and I might go mad. Honestly, I start to fade out when other people start their turns like that to me. Why does combat have to be so slow? Can we impose a time limit? AKA : Your turn committed in 10 seconds, if you don't commit to an action, we can skip you? I know it's kinda of a douche thing to say but seriously, what needs to be done so that people know what to do ahead of time? Perhaps we can agree upon a combat turn format like Shawn suggested like week. A helpful idea would would be perhaps having the players check their CS before the game and reacquaint themselves to the various abilities of their character. You start your turn, you state what you want, or ask your questions, right off the bat. When you're done, say done. IMHO, it would be awesome if NPCs can hit PCs who haven't commited to an action in 10 seconds as an immediate interrupt. Combat DOESN'T have to be long and cumbersome! You're making it so by playing unprepared!!!!
Other than that, I found the drow encounter very interesting. I enjoy subtle puzzles and I appreciated the columns, for RP purposes as well as for combar purpose for stealthy Simkin. Highlight of the night was "the escape", where the Simkin was torn between saving his life or saving the elves. He pondered twice on that... then realized perhaps there would be rewards for him and he quickly and expertly if I may add, unlocked the chains to be the hero of the day. Great touch from Shawn with the song and I had to sing.... cause goddamnit, it's SIMKIN'S SONG.
I also enjoyed the improvements on your DMing on the 4th Julie, keep it up. And I hope you take my suggestions at heart.

I was actually thinking Jay was just dicking around with the column; I was genuinely surprised when it turned out to actually be something.
I had an "um" moment because my turn got interrupted by a certain short person not being done. Otherwise--bear forward, Watcher's strike, miss... Every roll of mine sucked last night, and the only one that was close to not sucking DID suck because I chose not to flank with Kara.
I think the review of the character sheet is fine and we should be planning out what we're going to do, and knowing whose turn is before ours. I also think Doom has a point that these are new characters and some probably haven't even gotten to do all their kinds of abilities yet. Not to mention, Twitch was playing a character that had just been thrown onto him. I think everyone should try to do better with it next combat, but also accept that we need to have patience while we're getting off the ground.

IC : Simkin is being played as chaotic neutral and thus Simkin currently intends to take advantage of this party's "oversights" and as the uncommitted freebooter in this group... he will seek nothing more than self-gratification. This doesn't mean it will be like this for the long run of things, it's simply the way it is right now. Perhaps you'll gain his loyalty in some way? He'll keep his word if it'll serves his interests (a note for all, including the GM). Simkin is an individualist first and last. So expect Simkin to be:
- Unreliable
- Greedy
- Unpredictable
- Self-centered
- Selfish
But he's also able for great things.. and with great music selection, may even SING for the party. Thus for now... what gems?
OOC : Yep those gems are gone or haven't been seen. Ask the GM on how she wants to run it. It won't always be this way, trust me. I promise not to be a dick about things nor a dick to other players about my character's alignment. I feel that a little bit of every flavor makes a party great and thus, I go from a good 2 shoes cleric to a languid and unpredictable thief. Expect a little fat to be skimmed off the top of the profit column. Good times.

Well that was fun.
New Power:
Eyes of the Hawk - Enc/5 minutes : Make a perception check with a bonus of +10. (For a total of +11 for me.)
New Feat:
Improvised Missile
I can now throw improvised melee weapons as improvised ranged weapons, and I use Str instead of Dex to make basic ranged attacks. I also get a +2 ATK +2 DMG to the rolls.
Before:
I pick up something and throw it - [d20 ATK / 1d4 DMG]
Now:
I pick something up and throw it - [d20+7 ATK / 1d8+7 DMG]
So expect a lot of hurling shit in the future.
---------
A neat part of Improvised Missile is that it's basically useless once I get the GiantKind Gloves, as it basically does the above, but better. So once I get those, I can retrain the feat for something else.

Yeah it's one thing to realize that you can't save everyone in the city but it's another to not try to save everyone in your immediate vicinity.
Kara will most definitely weep for the fallen once this is all over but feel no personal guilt for the loss of any life (other than the slave she mercy-killed.).

Okay so I have replaced the following:
POWER: Whirling Mantis Step -> Masterful Spiral
FEAT: Toughness -> Unarmored Agility
FEAT: Weapon Expertise (unarmed) -> Spring Step
MASTERFUL SPIRAL
Daily-Standard-Close Burst 2, each enemy in burst
Dex vs. Reflex
Hit: 3d8+Dex force damage.
Miss: Half damage.
Effect: You assume the spiral stance. Until the stance ends, your reach with melee attacks increases by 1.
(I'll have reach 2 until the end of the encounter!)
Unarmored Agility:
You gain a +2 feat bonus to AC while wearing cloth or no armor.
Spring Step:
You can shift 1 square as a free action when you stand up.
(And my level 2 at-will utility lets me stand as a minor action.)

It all kinda balances out wen you realize I'm level 2, have 25 hp and 6 healing surges, wear no armor, and constantly try to surround myself with enemies.
In one of my Tuesday night games, my cleric regularly dumps 3/4 of the healing available to him on the party monk every single encounter.

Well we already have a leader (Nikto), and I don't feel like I actually did much as a defender. Where a Fighter is like "You're marked, and if you do ANYTHING that isn't attack me, you gonna get hit!" whereas a Warden is like, "Ha! You're marked now! Oh-- wait, no.. Don't... Don't move away please! Come back! I can't hit you from here. ;_;.
Edit: But I do like Zeke. Sigh, choices. Maybe with Shawn back next time he could heal me and I make off with Arku's body.

Kara would not risk her life nor the lives of others for the sake of material gain.
If leaving the room meant the troll can't pursue us, then she's not going back in unless everyone ELSE goes back in. If the troll busts down a wall to follow us and we ave to kill it anyway, then she'll attempt to recover Arku's corpse in order to "give it a proper burial" ie. get his stuff.

Jaes believes in keeping religion where it belongs, close to your heart and out of others' ears... which isn't exactly Kara's approach . He'll answer questions, but if he feels the conversation getting heated, he's just not gonna talk about it.
With a hybrid class, you can only do each class's encounter heal once per encounter (so one Healing Word, one Inspiring Word), but he also has some other healing stuff, such as an encounter that allows an adjacent ally to spend a surge, and he took the Bardic multiclass, so he has Majestic word twice in a single encounter per day. He actually has more healing powers than Arku did, but also the ability to dish some decent damage (not great, but better than the bear) and Commanding Strike will let me order an ally to attack on my turn, so I can throw the standard over to Zeke or Kara, anyone who can hit an enemy adjacent to me, whether they're stronger against AC than me, or can hit a different defense that may be weaker than the opponent's AC, which will also fit with his personality.

Alright, everyone, for the previous encounters, I'm giving you 400 exp which should bring you to a total of 2900. And, Doom, yes. You may most certainly have Delver's Light. It's a level two, simple, non-game-breaking item that is completely fair. You will find it among your possessions, when you locate them, and will be able to use it immediately from there on out.
Also, I have wonderful news: we may very well have a new player in HCGLNS! Stay tuned for more soon!

We've been trying to coordinate the rounds to last only two minutes between your turns, to match up.

A little somethin' somethin' I threw together.
Kara's new design, also on my deviantArt.
Bear in mind that currently, in prison, she no longer has her holy symbol or probably her sash.
Eventually I hope to have a series of simple sketches wherein Kara is demonstrating a couple of her techniques, if only to draw people doing ANYTHING but standing...

Yeah I saw it, it's neat. I don't know why but I love it when group pictures are drawn. So much that Simkin is 33% less likely from pickpocketing you during the next pair of gaming sessions.
What I'd love is a wallpaper quality one, like the one we got for our other group... speaking of which, what is our group's name?

What about an epic fight against drow guards? Weapons can be thrown in for looks. Simkin would love to be seen getting a crit backstab onto a drow.
Nomination for a group name :
- The Unknown Six
- The Heroes of Amaranth (a.k.a., HoA, and it's pronounced HOO-ah!)
- Company of Louts

So... race? Class? Would help. This is an action scene. If there's no action I can do, I can make him stand there, but even my squishy Warlord/Cleric is doing something. You don't wanna be outdone by a healer, right?
EDIT: Or you vanish. Okay, pussying out!

Okay! You'll probably need to click to enlarge. I have gray version and brown version. Jay, if you want a bigger version, the biggest I got is 1473 by 959, so let me know what to do.
From left to right, Kara, HC's character, Ezekiel, Simkin (foreground), Jaes, and Nikto (foreground). I chose a tentacle monster instead of Drow as opponents because it felt more representative of the campaign. Odds are we'll be fighting more of that eventually anyway. Sorry I don't have inking ability now or scanner for it, but hopefully it turned out well enough.

OMG, this picture is fucking fabulous! And the Simkin's wink to the audience is PRICELESS. The detail and action in this picture are both incredibly dynamic. LOVE!

Forgive me, I'm not much a writer, but here's a little RP from the end of last game's session:
OPEN THE GATES OF BATTLE!A dull pain still throbbed in Kara's stomach as she regained consciousness once more. Her shoulders were stiff as a result of sleeping on a hard stone floor all night. Where was she now? What of the others? Did the city still stand?
...How much time had passed!? How many more had died!?
These alarming thoughts were enough to bring Kara back to lucidity. She sat up in the darkness of the cell, seeing her day's companions lying on the floor around her in various states of conciousness. She took a moment to stand up and stretch the aches out of her joints - this was nothing new to her, really, just part of the morning routine for the Rohgar. She then retreated to a quiet corner of the cell, away from the others who were currently testing the locks on the door, talking to prisoners in other nearby cells, or trying to make introductions to the eladrin in their cell. She needed to pray, to ask Bahamut for his strength and his justice against the evil drow who had seen fit to occupy this city and murder its innocents, and to mourn the losses of those she hadn't been able to save.
But she was alarmed to find they had stripped her of her holy symbol. The one she had created.
---
A swirl of emotions began to rise up in Kara's heart as she remembered the right of passage she had undergone to become an adolescent among the Rohgar, the quest to create one's own holy symbol and have it properly approved and blessed by the High Priest. To carefully consider the materials and design, to put one's passion and hard work into the fabrication, and to have the wisdom and charisma to explain one's decisions to the High Priest were all important steps needed to create one's own holy symbol, a connection to Bahamut that was truly personal.
Many of the warriors of the Rohgar had chosen to forge a dragon's claw out of steel or any available stronger metals, hoping that creating a fearsome image with a strong material would grant them the strength and ferocity they would need. Clerics of Bahamut often tried to create dragon scales out of silver or even platinum to remind them of Bahamut's beauty, grace and resolve.
Kara had chosen to represent her connection in a somewhat unique way:
She had cut a circle of wood of a willow tree, native to their valley, and used it's sap to harden the edges. The result was a crude wooden circle. She then spent the next several weeks searching the caves in the mountains, looking for resources that might have been missed so far, praying to Bahamut for guidance. Kara was eventually able to return home triumphantly, having found a handful of scraps of platinum that she mined herself from an underground chamber. She smelted the scraps down and poured them into a carving she had made in the wood of a downward-facing dragon's claw, to create the actual symbol of Bahamut. Finally, she strung the amulet, and tied off a small blue glass bead to one side.
The following day, she went to the Temple, housed in one of the larger caves in the area, with many small natural holes leading to the sky providing for lots of natural sunlight that glittered off draconic statues and the like. She approached the High Priest, bowed, and presented her creation.
Kara explained that the wood of the willow tree represented the quiet strength and flexibility that she hoped to embody in her life as a monk of Bahamut. The platinum claw represented the purity and beauty of Bahamut. And the blue bead represented Kara herself, close to Bahamut but always striving to be closer.
The High Priest examined this all, nodded, and asked Kara why she chose to depict the claw pattern facing downwards. Very few others in the village had chosen such a configuration. Kara bowed again and said that she wished to depict Bahamut's hand not raised in an act of righteous aggression, since that did not always represent her intentions as a monk. Instead she depicted open and held out, as an act of peaceful cooperation.
The High Priest nodded again, and carefully draped the symbol over Kara's head. "You have done well, child, and succeeded in your right of passage. You are now Rohgar Kara, a true member of this village, and one I am proud to worship Lord Bahamut alongside. Keep this symbol with you at all times, for it truly represents your personal connection to Him."
---
Kara shook the memories from her mind and finished her symbol-less prayers. Her eyes opened to the darkness of the cell once more. She turned her head to see the hated drow enemy, Niena, approaching their prison. She glared, flexed her fists, gritted her teeth, and stood.
Rohgar Kara would get back what was hers. She would see to the safety of her companions and everyone still struggling to survive in Amaranth. And she would lay waster to these smug arrogant drow who thought themselves so important as to walk into town and upset the lives of thousands.
May Bahamut have mercy on them all.

That was pretty cool, Jay. Nice found pictures too that showed some of what we've been through. (Tentacles...eww.)
You had more pics to work with though if you wanted to fill out some more of the video, like some of Gusto's earlier Kara drawings, or the pic of Deschain from the first page (he may be gone, but he was still one of us, like Kratash) or this one of Arku and Ezekiel:
Or just fill it out as more stuff becomes available from me, Gusto, anyone else who draws anything (like Julie, who has artistic ability, but no drive to use it -_-).
