welcome to the group ednichols

[GreyWolfVT]

Thank you thank you I hope to be of great service and or entertainment to the group.

I've brought in a Hill Dwarf of all things, but I was close to making a Half-Ogre how fun would that have been?

[grey_starr]

Hey hey ednichols... welcome to the game.

Hmmmm Maybe the Dwarf is already on the other side of the gate and will open it for us! hehe

[GreyWolfVT]

you never know right dwarves do tend to be in underground areas more than on the surface.... I'm a sewer dwarf we repair the sewer tunnels and unblock the trenches who knows I read something like that in a waterdeep novel. The Cellarers and Plumbers guild dug building foundations and maintained Waterdeep's sewer system. Most members of the guild were human, gnome or halfling. In spite of their superior skill working with rock, there were very few dwarven members of the guild due to discrimination by the other races in the guild. As of (1479 DR) the guild was headed by Malaerigo Harsard, the father of the Blackstaff heir Laraelra Harsard. You never know there could be a similar organization here in Greyhawk maybe one a little less discrimination towards dwarves.

I've actually had a mildy humorous idea based on this suggestion

Well thank you I can post here now
Yes core 2.0 + expansion software very cool stuff.Hope you do not mind but the archived game had me start at level 2 for both my classes here is the sheet I have posted this under char sheets thread as well.

i still havent studied it the wayhat i need to , soon , promise
give him enough xp to reach 2nd level in the appropriate class....(cleric i think) (5character points for that)
and ill throw some more poop at the fan ...
after i throw back another long island iced tea....
i got nothing going on this weekend.....my chiefs lost, my f2f game isnt happening and the wife and i went to the movies last weekend, so im sure i can get all of you in some trouble pdq.

[GreyWolfVT]

Alright. I beleive i had used character points on the NWP not sure what is left over but bot classes are lvl 2 unless you want that changed. they both should have 2500xp. but the char sheet thing here on the roller doesn't work good for dual class.

Well... tomorrow I pick up my foam sheets. The beginning of my classic Robocop costume for the Feb 12th release of the Robocop movie reboot.

Are you going old.school?

Yep... going for the look of the first original movie. Someone made the flat patterns for foam, and I've seen 3 made since last summer on the forums. Enough to inspire me to try.

[GreyWolfVT]

Nice go old school it's the best heh.

[grey_starr]

For the game - I'm not sure how to play this out... Off the top of my head, I can not think of a way that Benson would allow this random passing by Dwarf into his circle and just invite him along. I would be forced to RP him telling him to move along, and be worried that he'll inform the watch of someone breaking into the sewers.

I am actively trying not to make Benson a "leader" for the group so that his "morals" create less issues for the group - cause it allows me to wait for the others to interact before he gives his honest opinion.

[GreyWolfVT]

alright and I am not sure if I am supposed to have a map or be able to draw a map for the group not entirely sure what is in my "scope of knowledge" Shonjuz could you let me know my "official background and scope of knowledge" of the sewers and what not?

[Majik]

It is one of those game situations where character behaviour takes a lapse.

Any new group member needs to be assimilated as quickly as possible.

Which I know you agree with.
So It's best to take a leap that is out of character.

Or, in terms of my thief logic (note: the dwarf is already a trusted group member) get the dwarf to lead us.

That way he can't inform the Watch, or stab us in the back.
If he is in with the evil cult It's best to have him where we can see him ... leading us through the sewers to an area where cultists might set-up shop.

Once again, I already pre-trust any P.C. so the above is just `game logic `

[Rukellian]

I understand the argument being made here with lapses in character behaviour for certain situations, but honestly speaking I can't force myself to just assimilate some random stranger into a group without some acceptance on my character's part. I will role play through this as we go, but as of right now Fezuul is just wondering what the heck that dwarf is doing chatting everyone up all friendly like.

[Stonjuz]

Fair enough points all around. I will send Strongarm a description of what he knows of the sewers and the workers union.
Hopefully that will give him some way to convince the party, one way or another.
It isnt much, and it may not be enough....

[GreyWolfVT]

well at any rate I have applied more information and details into my last statements in chapter 7.

[Stonjuz]

Well done too.
150xp , to the dwarf for putting himself on the spot just like that. Well see how it works out.
Notice how i editted Strongarm's post to reflect highlights.
not saying you have to do it like that, and dont be surprised if i make subtle changes like that sometimes.

[GreyWolfVT]

alright thanks I'm not overly familiar with the forum setting here so just kinda flyin by the seat of my pants so far. Also do you know a better way to work a dual class XP on the character sheets?
