Alethan asked back when we started campaign chargen if anyone was going to have a problem with him playing a half-orc. No one said anything negative about this either in the game forum or to me via pm. As Dave pointed out, there are obviously much more immediate "In Game" concerns for your PCs in escaping the region, as the "King's Eyes" and other soldiers out there could potentially be looking for them already. Think of "The enemy of my enemy is my friend" kind of thing here. Of course, speaking In Character: your PCs will have to spend some time around each other and work together before it can be assumed that a basic level of trust and understanding has been reached or accomplished. I've already thought about that and can assure you this will be the case when we start out.
Point of Order: if no one says that they have an issue with this now, I will expect that to also mean no real problem IC as well. Trading jabs between races IC is one thing, as it can be done in a light-hearted and fun way and add an element of depth to the interaction. Let it be officially noted that I, as DM, will not tolerate any demeaning kind of posts or game-play here and will be quick to intercede if I see something that appears to be heading down the wrong path. Let's all have fun with the party's great diversity of race and background. Who knows, it might very well make the difference in a particular future situation or scenario!
