I just noticed the Villagers are "cautious" of Nibiria, despite her being top-billed as their only professional doctor. XD

Nibiria basically works on trade. She needs commodities of her own that she can't just walk into town for. So, she wants their stuff, they need a doctor, and therefore fair trade occurs.

@Enkryption I was torn on where to pop Nibby. I think they trust her medicines but the kids still call her witch, and the fact she lives near the woods and Knows Things is spooky for them. I like the idea of the village warming up to her over the RP

Also, everyone next step before RP launch is for me to help flesh out Cornelius's skills. We have 2 people from the interest check who might make characters. If they have decided to drop their interest I will include Saya in the roster since it seems arbitrary to reject the last person. So long as everyone is comfortable with the group size, I think it's already a large group but 1 person won't change much my end.

Vietmyke has decided to drop out with Rowan, he's welcome back at any time if he changes his mind.

Finally it will be very important that everyone tags their locations at the start of their posts since people will likely break into smaller groups to explore quests in different places, I hope to make a template/header that will just be a simple one. You're also free to use your own templates so long as key information is visible. I'd also like GM and regular posts to have a little hider at the bottom with mechanics in (e.g use identify, craft X with Y material and Z goal in mind) but I'll elaborate on that later when I have some examples.

Also my PMs are open to anyone who may want to flesh anything out pre roleplay stuff or confirm any short term goals they'd like to grow their character towards. I am working on the initial Adventurers Quest board with a list of starter quests, so if you want to hit the ground running in any particular direction I can put a related quest on there. This is a slice of life rp, so it's also perfectly acceptable to just hang out and get to know each other, up your skills and not quest for a while. The adventurers guild won't burn down in the meantime, I promise.

I'd usually have a 3 quests to prevent analysis paralysis but since the Adventurers Guild is just opening and there are lots of different areas of interest there might be few more then that. So far minimum I'm leaning towards:

- identify new herbs at location
- unusual monster spotted in the woods, investigate
- monster bothering the local bison (might involve combat)
- Locate a shrine rumoured to be in the area
- investigate the abandoned mine
- I have a couple quests around town for NPCs that are either relationship building or may lead to other developments down the line (Dalton wants help making a signature brew, Brisk wants a pet fish from the pond or river)

That's perfectly fine with me. I thought it was kinda funny. "She's the doctor, but she also a witch, but she heals us, but it's never free, she's kinda nice, but kinda scary..."

Nibiria Arachne, Caution Advised.

As for the quests at hand, Nibiria will immediately gravitate to whatever is in the woods, if it's behind her stake of them, otherwise, she'll immediately go for the new herbs for study.

I've been thinking about it, spiders are kinda clean freaks - most are seen keeping themselves clean, and that themes very well with dryads being more lively in clean forest, and doctors being very sterile in their own environments.

So, humourously, I have come to think that Nibiria would allow Wormwood to exist in her house, because she'd need someone that is willing to keep her cottage clean while she's doing research, and he's unwitting enough to not know the difference between "gainful employment" and "unpaid labor" - yet, beneficially, he would have shelter, compensation (by way of cooked meals and hot baths), and the security that Nibiria would, probably, protect him from overt danger and heal his injuries.

Plus, he might just earn some Skills by observing her at work and cleaning around the house.

@Mae Apologies it took me so long, looks like I had no internet on the "otherside"... Updated the sheet now with the skills + added the sense emotion thing.

And...poor Penumbra. People are scared of them.

@Timemaster Great thanks! As for his reputation, the villages just need to get to know him a bit. But let me know if you'd like him moved to perplexed / cautious if you think the villagers know him a little bit at the start of the RP.

@The Irish Tree feel free to add Cornelius up to the CS tab!

His skills are a bit peculiar, let me know your thoughts and if there's anything apart of your concept you'd like included beyond this, this is a first pass:

Astral Weakness I
Birdbrain - Telepathy wth the murder of crows living inside his head. While they sometimes have a mind of their own, they tend to do what Cornelius says and have a very high bond with him.
Statue - when standing still, appears to be an ordinary scarecrow. This can still look out of place in the wrong location, however.
Weathered - receives no adverse effects from being stuck in bad weather. Visibility remains complete.
Construct - does not technically require food, drink or sleep, not that he is out prevented from simple pleasures.
Storage - Cornelius can store things inside his body, much to the chagrin and delight of his crows. The things he stores may have peculiar effects on him, however...
Endless Straw?! - Cornelius can pullout seemingly endless Straw from his sleeves. This does cause him to slowly shrink and his clothes to become baggy on him, though. He can be reconstituted by having his straw - or new straw - reintegrated.
Wayfaring - Plains
Detect - Pests
Frighten
Ignoble Magic: Earth, Lesser
Ignoble Magic: Nature, Lesser
Fishing
Buoyant
Identify - Seed
Identify - Needs (Plants)
Creature Taming

@Mae Nah, the reputation would be fitting for them at first. They would've kept their distance and use William for whatever trade they'd do initially. Later on, they would start dealing with customers/the villagers directly.

Seems good to me for skills! The image of a very small Cornelius is crapping me up from how Endless Straw works.

Fire and flora if that's fine. If not, then will dark work as the second element?

Been wondering, if Nibiria should have any "opening thoughts" on the cast, as, as I think about it, at one point, they would have all passed through her cottage for medical attention or general caught her attention, like in the case of Penumbra and Bojangles.

That might be interesting to write as her "connections" to Hearth as a whole.

@AzureKnight@Mae So should we go with what was discussed previously in the interest check? I think there's still time to make some adjustments, as long as its cool with you Mae and if Azure wants our chars to have a pre-existing relationship. If not then no worries

I do think the 'opening thoughts' ,/ relationships add alot to the RP, but no pressure to anyone to complete them.

@Yankee I'm happy either way, @AzureKnight what are your thoughts?

@The Irish Tree just realised Cornelius has 0 rank in intelligence do he'll need to rank it up to get access to those skills. Alternatively getting on the good side of people who already have earth magic cold be fun too.

@AzureKnight just working on your skill list

Oh, I absolutely adore interpersonal relationships. If this is the finalized cast, I might just tackle this. I'll have to take some creative liberties with why people visited the doctor, though.
