Good luck, @blindwoofer. Mine likes to wash his paws off in his water dish.

@Crab... see if you can find out what she's interested in. Then ask her about it. No flirting need be involved to just break the ice. :)

Bio
Long time casual role player who loves tales of adventure! I enjoy tabletop games, play-by-post, and even LARP!
Wild (and sometimes weird) west and medieval fantasy games with an 'old-school' D&D feel are my favorite.
In real life, I'm a software engineer and wanna-be farmer. I have a little garden and some chickens that like to destroy my flower beds. But I like 'em anyway and they all have names. ;) Sometimes they lay me some breakfast.
Other hobbies include dog agility and archery.

Premise: Drow slavers are using old ruins as their outpost. A group of would-be treasure hunters comes along, gets captured, and must try to engineer their escape before the drow can return them to their underground city, sealing their fate as slaves for life.
The RP is here: http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/3511/posts/ic
Level - Casual
A few players have lost interest or gotten busy, so I'm hoping that 1 or 2 more players might be interested! In the story, we've only just arrived at the ruins, so there's still an opportunity to work more people into the game. We could use another adventurer or a drow slaver. (You could even play 1 of each if you feel so inclined!)
Post here or in the OOC if you'd like to join and we can work out a couple story details, then you're in!

Her cheeks flushed a little red as Hugh commented on her eagerness to explore the ruins. She'd never had much "adventuring" experience before and was finding that she quite liked it. She would be disappointed, surely, if they walked away empty handed, but would not consider it a wasted trip. "It might be both," she admitted, stepping toward the horse's head once the girth was loose so that Hugh could pull the saddle off.
"I can brush him down for you, if you'd like," she offered, giving the draft horse a pat on his nose. She'd grown fond of the massive horse over the past few days.

With cat-like grace, Ryltar quietly stepped down the crumbling staircase inside what was once a guard tower. The structure was still intact enough and provided enough cover to make the perfect place to keep a lookout for any visitors. Satisfied that the party at the edge of the ruins consisted only of the old man, two women, and a large warrior, he needed to alert the others so that they could prepare for tonight.

Straw looked relieved that the group had agreed so easily to stopping for the day. "Here is good with me," he agreed. The old man sat resting for awhile longer and pulled out his pipe for a smoke. His eyes scanned the surrounding area as he puffed on the tobacco. Not too far away, the remnants of other structures were covered in varying degrees of vegetation, tempting Edwina with thoughts of the treasure left there by the denizens that abandoned the place long ago.
"Once we have camp set up, want to take a short look around?" Edwina asked Hugh, hardly managing to contain her excitement, as she started loosening her horse's girth to remove his saddle. "Maybe we can locate a few cellars to poke around in tomorrow..."

idk if anyone has noticed the OOC at the beginning so here it is. http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/37312/posts/ooc
Thanks!
Name: Jip
Age: Young adult
Race: Gnome
Gender: Male
Appearance: Even for a gnome, Jip is a bit on the runty side: except for his eyebrows and nose, both of which appear a bit too large for his face. He wears plan brown pants, a green shirt, and a leather vest that doesn't fit him very well (it was plundered from a goblin that he killed).
Weapon(s): A long dagger that he uses as a sword and a slingshot.
Biography: Jip's been adventuring for a few years now and though he gets himself in trouble (a lot), he's always managed to get back out of it again. Though he fancies himself some great sword-master, he relies mostly on stealth and his charisma to get him out of hot water.
Misc: Jip is skilled at some minor magical illusions, such as creating ghost sounds, making dancing lights, etc.

"I don't doubt that," Edwina said, returning his grin. It wasn't that hard to imagine the large warrior crushing a wall somewhere and making a building come crashing down. Even though they hadn't run into any trouble since the highwaymen on the road 3 days past, traveling with a warrior such as Hugh gave her a sense of security and she found herself letting her guard drop.
"Let's find somewhere to make camp soon," Straw said. "Then we can get an early start looking for ways down into the ruins."
"We've got a few hours of daylight left yet," Edwina said, looking at the older man, wondering why he wanted to make camp so early. "Might be able to find it today."
Straw seemed strangely hesitant. "Think I might have tweaked my knee a bit ago," he said, still rubbing his knee with his hand. "Just don't want to strain it too much, then be useless for a couple days."

Not quite what I was I imagining, so backing out. Just an FYI. Good luck with it!
Yeah, I definitely need to give him the opportunity to recruit some help from the miners or other townsfolk if there's going to be any combat involved (which I'd like there to be some).
Hmmm... I kind of like the idea of the engineer's family being in trouble. The PC has a little bit of money, but if the engineer owes him a favor, it would save his meager funds.
