On the road (D&d 5E Recruiting 1)

[Spectrum]

Bah! That was not Baern, that was the poor fool who thought that he could outdrink Baern!

[Spectrum]

Not sure where you're going with the ingredients side story, but... sure. Salazar is good at getting stuff.

My friend, I thought you more edumicated (sic).

You have heard of alchemy, the turning of base materials, of dung and dirt, into gold?

Brewing is much the same. Water, grains, yeast.. can create a strong brew indeed.

But what if, what if, I started with the most divine, the most perfect, the ingredients worthy of the gods?

[Spectrum]

Huh. Just as a laugh, what do you think about Baern getting access to alchemist tools?

[Spectrum]

Hooligans!

What sports could Baern follow? Mercenary teams?

[StarGuard]

Baern and Kaine met in The Pit as frenmies, good to have on your side but wouldn't call each other friend.

Sold

Okay, so it looks like we've got some background between characters, so I'll get a post up after work today (in a few hours).

[McGuffin]

I can see Kriv offering to pick up Baern's tab at a roadside inn to settle down a long binger that's about to turn into a bar-fight. Cut to them both getting smashed, again as they drink with renewed vigor. Also Kriv appreciating the barbarian's fighting prowess. Although his noble upbringing clashes with the dwarf's commoner's manners, Kriv believes it rude to point out. Then some other drunken bar-patron makes some remark about the dragonborn and they both turn as one to start the mother of all bar-fights, one for righteous vengeance (kind of) and the other for the sheer fun of it.

Just some musings while taking a break from work. I have a project due end of month some I might reply sparsely this week-ish but hopefully things will clear up after that.

[EpicEclipse]

Sorry to railroad you guys a little to the Inn, but it's really just to get the group together.

As to Heart, who I am just realizing I forgot to mention in the post, I'm just going to say for now she headed off to do cleric things.

[Spectrum]

McGuffin, that's an awesome idea!

[Spectrum]

I'm missing it now, but who all is currently in the game? The front page talks about submissions, but not actual links to active characters.

Or maybe I'm just blind.

[Flynnarrel]

It's there.

Salazar - Yuan Ti Criminal Bard/Warlock(Hexblade) - Flynnarrol
Exile - Wood Elf Outlander Revised Ranger (Hunter Conclave) - Doctor Malsyn

So the submissions list is the same as the active characters list?

+ Baern

[Doctor Malsyn]

Pretty much.

[EpicEclipse]

Yup.

“Give me three pints of Guinness, please,” says the man.

The bartender brings him three pints, and the man proceeds to sip them alternately — the first one, the next one, and then the third one, until they’re all gone. He then orders three more.

“Sir,” says the bartender, “I know you like them cold. You don’t have to order three at a time. I can keep an eye on you, and when you get low I’ll bring you a fresh cold one.”

“You don’t understand,” the man says. “I have two brothers, one in Australia and one in the States. We made a vow to each other that every Saturday night we’d still drink together. So right now, my brothers have three Guinness Stouts too, and we’re drinking together.”

”What a wonderful tradition,” the bartender says, smiling.

Every week after that, the man comes into the bar and orders three beers. But one week, he orders only two. He drinks them and orders two more.

“I know what your tradition is,” says the bartender sadly, “and I’d just like to say that I’m sorry that one of your brothers died.”

“Oh, me brothers are fine,” says the man. “I just quit drinking.”
