Lathanderite faction

Gwydion · January 22, 2009, 04:56:42 AM

Monday it is then.

Cruzel · January 22, 2009, 05:02:52 AM

If you guys want, I could probably run you guys a prelude based on gwydion's background story to help you get into the 'group mojo' before you guys start rocking out on EFU. You'd be starting off shipwrecked at L2 and lootless still, but you'd have had some time to rock out together beforehand :O

Send me a shout Gwydion/others if you want. I could almost def have something ready by monday.

*grins* Just wanted to let you lot know that I'm now an approved Paladin of the Aster, and Monday is a go! Can't wait to meet your characters..

Now, to figure out some weaknesses for him..

Awesome.

Everyone that is starting this Monday please send me a PM with your forum account. I will have you added to our snazzy new faction forum...

(actually it isn't snazzy, it is blank at the moment)

We are keeping the faction forum very much IC for postings, Gwydion will have more to say on that matter but I just wanted to let everyone know.

Once we have forum access, shall we post some character background given that it looks like we will have all known each other, or at least that's the impression I'm getting?

Gwydion · January 23, 2009, 03:56:54 PM

UPDATE:

Cruzel has graciously offered to run a prelude for us, so we need to get head count on character and class. I'm going to be working with him on getting this ready.

If you want to be a part of this at startup, please get your forum name to Ix so we can get you on the forum and have some IC familiarity amongst our characters.

And once you get into the forum, please post a short bio as we are assuming these characters have at least a passing familiarity with each other. If there is an IC reason your character won't know the others well (like a sailor on the ship) then keep it limited to what they WOULD know before we start.

IxTheSpeedy · January 23, 2009, 05:37:04 PM

I have most of the forum accounts for the people starting but if you haven't sent it to me yet, please do so soon. I believe I am missing at least one. I don't want to say who in case they don't want it to be known they are in the faction.

If I miss one I don't think it is a huge deal but I'd like to be able to send them over to Snoteye all as one list.

Thanks.

I am not seein the forums in my topics list. Is it up?

Log is bigx2

IxTheSpeedy · January 23, 2009, 08:06:00 PM

I have not submitted the names yet bigx2. I'm waiting to get the whole list. I'll send it over to Snoteye tonight probably.

Just a question. Is it possible that they would have extra lathander armor just in case? If they had extra lathanderite armor than players who could not have done the prelude or make a lathanderite later can join them and be like the regular lathanderite group?

MisterPAIN · January 25, 2009, 07:05:52 AM

Or have a lathanderite already around on the side and such.

Cruzel · January 25, 2009, 07:22:50 AM

If ICly your PC is a part of this group but you can't make the prelude, send me a forum PM with the name/class etc. and I can write you in as an NPC that is along 'quietly' as it were, so you're 'with them' even if you can't make it. It doesn't take too long, and helps with continuity. As for IC explanation as to why you show up later, it's fairly simple, Shipwrecked peopled can wash ashore not necessarily in the same place. Classic separation, You're all on the island of Ypmh but might meet up at later times, etc.

As for Extra gear for the people who miss the prelude, I'll ask the DM's i've already spoken to about gear, and see what they say. Not up to me unfortunately.

Gwydion · January 25, 2009, 02:35:37 PM

Characters are certainly welcome to join the faction after the prelude. If they are already being played on the settlement, it's not too logical that our PCs would grab extra leather armor as their ship was sinking.

It's pretty cool for Cruzel to reserve a robe or leather armor so that a player can be RPed as being part of this expedition. I would point out that any armor or possibly weapons that we retain from this prelude will be mundane at best - but I wouldn't expect to keep anything.

The prelude is more for RP and some backstory for our characters, and Cruzel gets to pretend he is a DM for a couple hours and flex his creative muscle.

He's put quite a bit of work into this, and we all really appreciate his help. Cruzel has some cool things planned in the adventure.

Surprisingly, we have very few paladins as of now. If anyone wants to play a paladin it's definitely not too late to send me a PM and hop on board.

dragonfire9000 · January 25, 2009, 02:55:12 PM

Not wanting to miss anything, could someone send me a PM with times again? And is this prelude on the EfU server? Cruzel, have you that power? *big eyes of awe*
