You can converse outside of game in this thread. For now I suggest the three of you discuss where you want to start.

[Daygamer]

Congrats to all who made it! Looks around eagerly...

[Cygnus]

Whistles as he walks in Thanks for accepting me Vancian

Now we wait to see who the third person is...

[Nightshade]

Here!

So where do we want to start? Just arriving in the city after escaping?

[Cygnus]

I don't mind either way, but for simplicity's sake it would probably be best to have just arrived outside the city.

So the terrible trio made it in... hope we didn't offend anybody

[Cygnus]

Well, just thought of something vaguely important

Character creation: will we be using point buy (if so, how many points), rolling stats, or have a choice between the two?
(I'll probably roll if we have the choice, even if my luck is terrible )

An example of my luck:

Dice Don't contradict me...:

1d20

7

[Vancian Mage]

You can roll 4d6 x6, If total modifiers add up to less than +3 you may reroll. Ill make the rolling/character thread now

[Cygnus]

Thanks, took me a few tries but I finally rolled higher than a +3 total modifier

[Daygamer]

Starting just outside the city works for me.

Edit: nevermind Cygnus, I figured out your rolling code. Hope you are ready to be as meat shield.

[Cygnus]

Well now I want to know what you said before the Edit

Unfortunately, yes I believe I will be an okay meat shield.

[Cygnus]

My character sheet is up and attached to my sheet

[Vancian Mage]

You come up with a plan yet? Remember you have a say when it comes to the direction of the campaign.

[Daygamer]

@Cygnus and Nightshade: Ok you two, what do we want to do? We recently escaped slavery and just arrived in the city. Clearly we need to find work (including independent employment) so what type? There are the usual, treasure hunters, monster slayers, guards, etc. Any thoughts that are outside of the box?

[Cygnus]

Well first we'd have to establish A base of operations. Perhaps we could try to negotiate a deal with the owner of a tavern: you perform for an hour every night, we stay for free, as long as you continue performing each night and bringing in customers. Food would still cost us though.

Speaking of which, Thalia could hunt game for at least the few days we start out there, while I probably take on the role of bouncer at the tavern when you play. Other than that, we'd have to try and find out any rumors we could about any treasures that lie in wait, or any bounties we could collect.

[Cygnus]

Another idea: if there was an arena, I could try and win a few matches so that we'd have some start up money for an adventurer's guild. We could take on odd jobs between our own endeavors, slowly gaining more and more renown until we eventually receive high priority quests.

(Working up from getting cats out of trees, to slaying the monster that kidnapped the Queen, to repelling an incoming invasion of ogres, to singing at the wedding of nobles, etc.)
