Beat me to the punch ;D A warm welcome to [@POOHEAD189] and his eldritch knight character Markus Flintbrook!

I usually don't share meta information, but I think as we have some new folks joining the party, here's roughly what we're thinking when it comes to adding them in. [@Cu Chulainn] [@kingeditor] [@POOHEAD189] Feel free to correct me or add your thoughts, that goes for any current players too:

[@POOHEAD189] Markus will be following the party into the dungeon at the bequest of Esvelle Rosznar. Markus has worked with Esvelle and, particularly, her brother before, thus knowing what he looks like and what his usual tricks are. Esvelle has asked you co-operate with Markus.
[@Cu Chulainn]'s character is a survivor of a previous delve gone wrong. They are near the very start of the dungeon, but might well have some information about some things to look out for.
[@kingeditor]'s character Voldalus was vouched for by Jhimas, who considered him to be an upstanding Life cleric, unaware of his past. Voldalus is travelling down with the party. Your character has likely had a very [i]brief[/i] meeting with him shortly before dungeon entry, as in a quick exchange of hello's, before you're all plunged down the well. 

[center]The hope is for the party to slowly organically mould into one cohesive group, but no need to force it.[/center]

Jhimas, Lin and Atanese had to splinter off after an emergency mission - Atanese discovered some information regarding his sister. Lin travelled with him for her deceptive abilities and Jhimas wanted to keep them safe.

Mechanically, [@Lauder][@Vertigo][@kingeditor][@POOHEAD189] can post their dungeon entry as they're ready. Once [@Cu Chulainn]'s character is ready the party will either stumble upon them or they will stagger into the party.

Final thought - [@Lauder][@Vertigo] do you need another GM post? I know the IC was left in a bit of an unsure place after we had the party change at a key moment. If you're struggling to work out what's going on, I can do a quick timeskip/slight retcon to make the situation a bit more manageable.
[hr][hr]
So everyone is aware, [@Ellri] has received some information regarding the Dungeon as he's the only one currently down there. No one else knows what he's seeing just yet, wOOOoooOOOOoooo [i]*other spooky mysterious sounds*[/i]  
[hr][hr]
Also a welcome to [@Salty Spitoon], who might pop up in the OOC now and then. They're our first reserve and port of call if anything goes a bit squiffy <3
