So that's everyone. One Aes Sedai, one warder, one noble and one wolfbrother. That's quite a nice collection. Too bad we don't have a bard yet, to pen the adventures.

I will start the IC sometime today or tomorrow.

Some rules to remember:
- Only post in white color in the IC.
- When you see me writing in gold, it is in my role of narrator. This will contain atmospheric effects, results of your actions, actions of monsters and so on.
- In combat scenarios, you are only allowed three types of action: a standard action (typically attacking with a weapon or channeling), a move action (jumping, pouncing, retreating etc) and a full-round action (typically intense acts like healing, battle fury, jump attack etc). You can either do one standard action and one move action, or two move actions, or one full-round action. So you can either "run and attack the trolloc" (standard and move), "run and jump over the trolloc" (two moves) or "power attack the trolloc with your sword" (a full round action).
- The outcome of your actions will be judged by a die roll. I will post result of die rolls like this: Raurfen's Hide check succeeds with a throw of 17. Raurfen is now hidden from the enemy's eyes. Following this, Raurfen will now be allowed to observe the enemies without intrusion.

If I remember any other rules, will update the first post. Please finalize your skillsets in a couple of days.

Now, let the Hunt begin.

After you guys are happy with the way your CS looks, put it up on the Characters tab. Be sure to put down your attribute points, hit points, skills and saidar weaves (if applicable).

Another point I want to clear with all of you, @Eklispe, @solokolos, @Vor and @POOHEAD189. Is it okay if we have the entire RP in present tense? Like Lord Torin unsheathes his sword and prepares to meet the Halfman instead of Lord Torin unsheathed his sword and prepared to meet the Halfman? I feel it gives a much better sense of action, but it can be quite tricky if you are used to past tense in your writing. I will assume you are okay with it unless you are not, in which case, let me know.

I'm also used to writing in the past tense but I don't mind trying to write in present tense, just be aware that I might be like solokolos and fluff things up ^.^

I'm more of a past tense fella, but I won't knock it if we go present.

Can't say I've ever done a present tense play-by-post RP before, but it sounds similar to what you do during a D20 session or in an MMO, so it can't be that hard.

Well, I don't want to mess up your style too much. Even I write mostly in past tense. So we'll stick with past tense then. Maybe in the future, we can have some present.

Very nice. I like the slow and steady start. Now that we are all assembled, let me make a speech and start off the formalities.

Incidentally, do not forget your abilities and skills. At any point, no matter where you are or in what situation, should you require to Search or Spot or Scout or Pickpocket or whatever, you can. Just end your post with an OOC like so: Lord Torin decides to Search the crowd. After this, I will roll the die and give apt responses.

Will have a post up soon.

Same here, I'll have the next two weeks to myself, so if @Joos manages to put something out during the holidays, I'll be quick to respond.

And no, I'm not subtly nudging the GM, no way, sir...
