Remember the whole short-adventure concept. Limit it to this one grove of trees and find a way to conclude the adventure. Post how many rounds (master posts) you expect the adventure to last.

I'll probably participate in this. Give me a day or two to post about my character, though. Also, when does it start and end? I'm just curious. And, is this is a series of different threads, right? So, after this one is done, is there going to be a different thread with the same setting but a different goal? Sorry for all the questions, I'm just a little curious. I might start to get busy in the summer, so I'm not sure I'd be able to participate in all of them. So, would it be okay to be in a few of them, but not all of them?

Sorry it took so long. I wanted it really detailed, so I probably have a bunch of unecessary stuff. EDITED!

Name: Roku Erthrige
Race: Human-Elf
Class: Swordsman
Weapon: One-handed sword
Armor: Tough Leather
Spells: Ensnare (large vines spring from the ground constricting anyone near them, sometimes to death), Song of the Trees (takes the appearance of a tree to hide from enemies), Sleeping Mist (produces a mist that causes nearby enemies to fall asleep for a short period of time), Quick Stalk (allows quicker and more silent movement for a short period of time), Minor Heal (self-explanatory), Thorn Attack (shoots small, poisoned thorns out of his palm at enemies)
Abilities: Knowledge of herbs helps him to create potions and poisons from plants found in nature; Can speak with some animals; Has a very good sense of hearing, smell, and sight
Appearance: Small and thin with long brown hair that is tied in a ponytail. Bright green eyes and light skin.
Personality: Kind and very interested in the world around him. He's always looking for new types of plants, but also looks out for any monsters when they might be nearby. He is very curious, but usually takes precautions before doing anything that might be dangerous. Very nice and easy to get along with.
Past: Lived in the forest with his human father and elf mother. His mother was an herbalist who had her own garden and a large variety of plants. She taught him his knowledge of herbs, as well as a minor healing spell. His father was a mercenary, using the money to support the family and the garden. His mother became ill when experimenting with a new plant, and his father continued to try to earn money through acting as a mercenary. One day he never came back, and Roku took it upon himself to earn money and find a cure for his mother.

Let me know if I have to change anything. I don't play DnD, so I don't really know what's too strong. So, how many people should we have for this?

I would like to participate, and i will work on a character to use for this.
Using the some of the same skills again Dyrtigma? I personally plan to play an entirly different character.

I happen to like those skills. And my personal favorite choice for a class in almost anything is a warrior. I'll do an occasional thief, but I rarely do any ranged people. I might do a ranged character once in a blue moon, but you probably won't see me with one for quite a while. I'll probably make a completely different character for the next one, but for right now I'll stick with this one.

Thats kewl too. I prefer to vary my characters greatly. But, hey, whatever you like to do! that is what make us all special.

Yeah, I usually make my characters pretty different, but I kind of wanted to expand on him a little bit more. It'll probably be the last time I'm using someone so similar. I hope I can find a few people who want to do this.

I am done with my character. I will post the full Bio in like, 6 hours. i have to get home to do that.

I thought of this character alot in Spanish class. I wonder why spanish class makes me creative? Maybe because the teacher is so damn boring.

Sorry, I thought my dad said my grandparents are coming in July, but it turns out that he said June. They're coming Friday, and I'm probably going to spend a lot of time with them (they live far away, so I don't get to see them often). I can still try to post, but it won't be as often as I did in Fifthwind's Short Adventure.

Dang I think we might need more players..............

Raizan Nimblefingers
Age: 36
Height: Short, okay? Like, 3'3"
Halfling Rogue

Middle-aged halfling that's in this crusade not only for the money, but to have a good time (he believes that killing off evil creatures is a "good time"). Black hair, cut short. Cloaked in browns and greens of the forest, for an easier time to hide.

Weapons: Repeating crossbow and two enchanted daggers. Alchemists' fire (liquid in a vial that, when exposed to air, combusts), caltrops, thunderstones.
Fighting Style: Since this takes place in a forest, Raizan will probably try to spend a lot of time in the cover of trees, up in the branches, of course. Shooting at enemies rapidly with his repeating crossbow is a common tactic. If necessary or if he feels like it, or just if there's an opportunity, Raizan will hop down and start attacking with his daggers, trying to team up on an enemy with an ally to be able to hit vital areas easier while the enemy is distracted. If in a bind, he'll back off and use a few of his alchemical items to weaken the enemies, or the caltrops to slow them down for escape. Just in case none of these tactics work, he also has a few potions that can turn him invisible.
Abilities: Nothing special. Just good and stealth and attacked enemies when they're least prepared. A pretty good scout, if the party needs one.

Hey, my scheldule should be clearing up now. My grandparents went back home, and school's almost over. I'll go check with some of my friends to see if they'd be interested in this. Also, I've had a few good ideas for characters, so I was wondering if it would be okay to change it. Sorry bout my absence.

Your absence as i understand is was family related, so you really have nothing to be sorry about. Family first, then friends, then the forum... unless you believe in god, then hes first.

Thats also part of the reason why this hasn't taken off much on my part either. Im graduating in a few days, but they still gave us a major project... so yeah

Yeah, I know what you mean. I have four projects due on Firday, but I managed to get a lot done last weekend. Still have to finish some stuff though. Anyway, can I change my character?

you can change it all you want up until the point where teh crusade begins

Here's my new character. Same name, but he's very different from the previous one. It's also edited on my previous post. Let me know if I change to anything.
