@Samdragonx RPing is not a contest against your allies. It is a way fir one to improve their own skills. You shouldn't feel upset that someone writes longer posts. If you enjoyed the post, get inspired! Try to slowly improve your own posts, if you wish, but most importantly, have fun! No one is trying to judge you or compare post lengths, nor are they trying to make you feel bad with their posts. I know I have a long way to go with my own writing, and I take inspiration from @The Grey Dust's posts. I would love to see you back in the discord and participating, and we can all work tigether to improve ourselves.

Bio
Hey all, JB here.
I'm a DM for a large number of games here on RPG, as well as a player in several others. Many of the games I run are overly complex, or they involve Dungeons and Dragons (which is also overly complex!).
I work 40+ hours a week, and am the proud father of two tiny terrors named Chibi and Chibette and married to my beautiful Wifey. As such, I am quite busy more often than not. I typically write 2-5 paragraphs per reply and try to maintain an excellent level of grammar. If you noticed me glancing at your profile, I probably was looking to see if you would be a good match for my RPing style. Even if I didn't send a PM to you, feel free to send one back!
I enjoy 1x1 RPs and small groups. I'm fond of medieval, steampunk, and futuristic settings, and I'll jump into romance, adventure, and slice of life RPs fairly quickly, although supernatural (vampires, werewolves, etc) RPs get old for me pretty quickly. If you're looking for an RP partner and I've glanced at your profile, then I'm most likely willing to give it a shot, but decided against PMing you because I'm actually kinda shy. But I'm always looking for a new friend!
Please feel free to say hi at any time!

The shadows granted to Kiki by the underbrush would only be helpful as long as she remained hidden, but the sudden sounds of combat proved to her this was impossible. The last time a battle had broken out... but no, she couldn't think about that now. Her newfound friends needed her. Probably the barbarian too.
Kiki rushed forward from the brush, flying at the nearest goblin with her blades in hand. The first attack was aimed towards the goblin's neck, while the second was intended for his ally nearby should the first target fall. Silent. Deadly. Scared shitless, but she was still alive. So were her friends by the looks of it, although the trees blocked her view of the horses in the road.
Kiki turned towards the nearest goblin, whipping the fresh blood from her blades in a sharp salute towards her foe. "If you value your life, run," she growled, praying the goblin could not hear the waver in her voice as she got ready to charge towards it. She hoped her voice was loud enough to carry to the wagons behind her, for if her plans failed or her aim was not true, she would be the one in dire need of a cleric.
Katia held the two orbs in her hand, gently shuffling them around absentmindedly within her palm. She had no reason to disbelieve what the gnome told her, but a Really Big Crow could have its uses, especially if they could domesticate or otherwise control it. An image crossed her mind of her soaring on the back of one of the majestic birds, cawing along with the crow, hugging it for warmth. And then she looked down. Okay, time for that daydream to end.
She fluttered back to reality as Wick suggested burying the orbs. "Ooh, I have a better idea!" Katia exclaimed, generally ignoring the excited beckonings of the gnome. "Bourbon, you promised us a drink, right? Even if not, I would think one would be appropriate. Where can we find a cask of ale? The larger, the better! We combine Milya's idea with a more portable option: place the orbs inide a bottle, then place the bottle in the cask. If the glass does not contain the bird, the cask certainly should." Katia beamed at her own ingenuity, especially since it involved sharing a cask of ale with her friends.
It seemed somehow more convincing might be required, however. "Look, even should the worst happen, we too will be well-rested by dawn, and more than ready to repeat the simple effort of dispatching the beast. It would be at a disadvantage indoors. What if we toss one out the window and try my method with the other? I fear spending time to bury the bird will leave us outside with the shadows for too long."

I'll figure out discord one of these days. I'm still Regitnui there, though. If that helps you find me.
It's easier if you click the link a few posts up (quoted below for convenience). Otherwise we need your 4 digit numerals, then we gotta add you as a friend and have you accept, and then we gotta manually invite you into the server.
I have created the Discord Server please feel free to join at any time!

@Mae, yes. That's why Cas got hired. (And can you tell I haven't decided on a base gender yet? Typing without pronouns is confusing.)
A lot of us have been doing some chatting on Discord. Would love to have you join us.
Kiki's lute twanged a sour note as she noticed the dead horses that blocked their path. Silently, she put away the instrument and in their place produced her weapons. Kiki motioned to the cleric, then pointed to the woods to the south of them. She then slipped away from the group, hoping that her movement would go unnoticed by whomever slew the equestrians ahead.
She moved with practiced subtlety, blending into the greenery. Something attacked these horses, and the possibility that the enemy lurked nearby was high. A bottleneck around a curve with such advantageous landscape on either side? Kiki only hoped that these unknown foes were not directly looking for them, or else they might be ready for the group of sellswords that accompanied the wagons. Her favorite type of foe was an unaware foe, for then she could get the drop on them.
I like her so far! Since Rose is rather busy, let me welcome you in on her behalf. If you don't have a link to our Discord (a little searching through this thread will get you a link), send me a PM and I can get it for you.
@Regitnui
The problem with playing characters in characters is that if not done correctly, it will get tricky with the group dynamics.
Since currently both members accounted for are one person, yet there is no IC knowledge of them being the same person.
Therein both were assumed to be hired by the dwarf. And thus technically both would be owed 10 gp.
Thus Cas would be paid 20 gp total if the deception remains throughout the party.
You'll have to work out the details with the GM, but since our characters don't seem to know each other that well, no one knows Cas is behind both personas. Hence they should be treated as unique party members until otherwise discovered to be one changeling. At which depending on what happens when the deception is revealed, will be interesting...
Revealing the deception is very likely inevitable, since both cannot be in the same line of sight at once.
@Regitnui@JBRam2002 Grrrrr...!!
I'll take nature.. I'm done finishing stats..
Who's next in the post order and why haven't they posted yet?
Next was me, and I spent about an hour typing it up :P @Cu Chulainn should be up after me, but I've already sent him a note on Discord. On that note, I too would love to have a Discord channel. I sent the DM my info.
The journey from Halruaa had been long and hard, but Kiki had finally arrived in Neverwinter, physically unscathed but mentally exhausted. Her first night in the city had resulted in her being ejected from several inns as she barely had the coin to pay, and so she found herself nestled under a grove of trees next to the river that bisected the city.
The morning brought her to investigate the various factions and postings in the city. Surely someone would have work for an individual with her skills, and eventually, she was beset upon by a dwarf needing an escort for his wagon. Far be it from Kiki to turn away free money. The ten gold she expected to earn would last her long enough to get a more stable job under her, and to that end, she located the Lord's Alliance faction. Although Kiki was not particularly knowledgeable about the local history, nor was she exactly the most lawful individual, she found this faction seemed more than willing to listen to her tales about Halruaa, even offering room and board for the evening. An interesting chat with the chef ensued, and she expressed her intent to join the dwarf on his journey the following day. Kiki was rather surprised to learn that the man she spoke to was also planning to join this journey. At least she would have an ally on her first job.
The meeting with the rest of the party was not the smoothest meet up she had ever participated in. When the barbarian attempted to "test" her armor, she responded by keeping his neck a rapier's length away from her. She was not in the habit of taking pointless beatings from her supposed allies, and certainly would not abide him trying to attack those weaker than him without provocation. She hoped he didn't take it personally.
Kiki spent the first few days getting to know the crew she started with. Ardiane, the bard, seemed to be quite intriguing, but there was something hidden under that shy smile of hers. Kiki joined in for a short time with her lute, and although Ardiane was much more talented than Kiki, it was quite the enjoyable experience. Bar, the barbarian with a less than inspired name, wasn't too bad once Kiki got to know him, but she still had a tough time trusting anyone who thought bashing others was a proper greeting ritual. Perhaps this land was even more different than she expected. Seethe, the wizard, was a great conversationalist, and she found herself lost in stories around him, either of her own weaving or his. Elki, the cleric, greatly interested Kiki, and she hoped to learn more about the deities she worshiped before the journey was out. She had always thought of most religions as being stifling and restrictive, but this cleric seemed to have an easier time having fun than even Kiki did. And of course, the final member of their crew was a silent man. It was hard to trust someone who refused to give his name, and indeed, spoke so little that Kiki was unsure even what his talents were. There was something different about him that Kiki couldn't put a finger on, and she wondered to herself whether this man might be part of the cargo they were escorting.
All in all, the majority of the party intrigued her enough, and the promised pay was worth the company of those she mistrusted. Perhaps she would change her mind if she saw them in a true fight, but for now, she plodded along happily with the rest. Maybe she had finally found a place she belonged.
