@Lucius Cypher The thing was that since people usually prefer doing their own rolls I gave it to them via the Preemptive rolling systemTM not really trademarked.... This would mean that if you think I would call for a roll with the text your post has, you can include it in your post. If I don't think such a roll is necessary, I'll ignore it. If not, well I don't have to roll it myself. Even if you neglected the system, I'd roll them for you, but since people like their dice rolls... I'm going in loops again, am I not? Well, I hope the point got across.

And back I am. Exhausted, certainly, and may need a while for that to wear off, but I'm once more here to read and even write!

Should have been writing posts. Took part in D&D shenaniganry instead. Got to fix that tomorrow.

There's a lot of backlog here on my end. I'm trying my best to lessen it, but replies might be less frequent for a time. A welcome change from the nothing doing I went through though! Thanks partners!
Bio
I suppose it is about time for me to copypaste fill in some information about myself over here just as well. Only took me a few years to getting around to do it.
I am a married individual in my twenties from the country some people dare claim does not exist. The Finland conspiracy is an old joke, you can stop with it now. Not a native speaker of the English language by any means, though I did begin studying it exceptionally early for our country's standards. I suppose it was some sort of a test case. With that out of the way though, what more should I be saying here...
Thanks for stopping by I suppose! I do also have a Discord account, but I prefer to start anything RP related on the site. At least with people I don't know from the past, that is! But hey, now if you are a longer time contact of mine and happened to read this, now you know and can ask!

- I like being nice to people. If one needs to ask why, well that alone is reason enough.
- I play and Dungeon Master Dungeons and Dragons, both offline and in the past also over here.
- I enjoy OOC chatter, be it planning the RP or a more casual exchange (not that RP'ing is that serious). I can make do without, but don't be afraid to talk to me.
- Whatever the case, I'm here to have fun and hone my writing abilities!

@SadCubone Sorry, but we are full for now. We might recruit more people later on, but as things are currently I'll have to deny entry.
EDIT: On another note, I've edited the first OOC post to better reflect the current situation of the game. If I missed something feel free to point it out!

Well, I did think we could go with four, given how the classes are now a bit more mixed up and how the introduction of new players would need to wait until "checkpoints". A fifth player could work, but even then they'd have to wait for some time. I can put up an open recruitment once the next checkpoint approaches if it looks like we'd greatly benefit from adding the new member. Four is more or less the optimal size for this module, which is why my search range was set at 3-5.
As sad as it is to see a group member go, I bid you farewell @VitaVitaAR.
Even with this unfortunate incident, I have continued the story. Given how this module is prebalanced around four adventurers we should see how we fare with this amount for now, given how we have a sufficiently wide mix of classes. Any objections?

As the group of people murmured among themselves, the group that formed around the Half-Orc was not the only one. A group of minstrels that had entertained the caravan on many breaks had pulled masks and vicious looking curved swords from their wagon and formed a circle, chanting something in a language foreign to most around them while bumping their fists together and otherwise getting ready for the challenge that might rise. Many guards were fastening the straps of their helmets and checking the state of their weapons and a fortune teller with their apprentice had moved a little distance away with both of them flinging firebolts into the air for practice. Addio's words had apparently sparked the spirit to help in others as well.
While some began to withdraw into their wagons, the groups that had readied up to help the villagers and fight began their approach towards the town in flames. The half-moon that was barely visible over the setting sun and the smoke did very little to give vision for the people approaching or within the town, but the fire did provide dim light all over Greenest. The dragon's threatening shape in the sky occasionally made a swoop at something, but never finished it, giving the appearance of it toying with it's prey.
The group of minstrels chose their approach route to be a smaller road on the northern side of the town, while the fortune teller's gang went for the shallow streambed to begin with, leaving the main road for the last crew approaching. The street was empty now, with the houses around it surprisingly well preserved... most of the fire only touching haystacks and barns. That had not stopped doors from being kicked in of the three nearby empty looking houses.

Right, as much as I would love to see everyone introduce themselves before continuing, I cannot allow the RP to lose all activity this early. This evening (4-8 hours from this message) I will be having to do something, likely kick the adventure off with or without the final party member as unfortunate as the latter would be.
This decision is not made lightly and I am only doing it due to knowing first-hand what inactivity does to games and how several players have already contacted me and asked if we could go on.
In the future, the usual rule of 4 to 3 days will apply until I need to move things forward by gently nudging the inactive members towards the rest of the party. This is not something I can do for an intro post though, so that is why it has not yet been the case. But as I implied, after my next post this will be in full effect. It is open for discussion on the occasional request of more time, but as it has already been established earlier as a functioning limiter we'll go with it.

@VitaVitaAR, how is the intro post going? It won't be healthy for the RP to have much longer a wait right at the beginning, so if we would see yours soon, that'd be splendid.
No such thing as iterative attacks in fifth edition. And now that you mention it, that's a lot of skills. Going to need to have a talk about that.
@Lucius Cypher ...I'll just say that Harbinger is probably the one to explain if someone is. I am afraid I cannot say more. It has been approved by me, so nothing fishy/wrong going on here.
@Lucius Cypher While the thought of Orchid of all the people getting all sneaky amuses me, I'll go with the default multiclassing rules discussed on PHB p.163. This would mean to get Rogue levels Orchid needs a score of 13 in STR (to fulfil the requirement of his current class, which is easy) and another 13 in DEX (to fulfil the requirement of Rogue, which they also have). In the end, if they have acted in somewhat rogue-ish manner, you can take a level in the class to show their advancing whenever you would gain a level.
