Ardiane is Cas, but I wouldn't call that a mistake. It's entirely possible IC that Ardaine (sitting on the horse) and Ilisandoral (the elven loremaster in the carriage) could be seen as different people. They might be the same changeling, but that's not evident to people.

Ilisandoral - Grumpy elf 'hiding' in his carriage.
Ardiane - Pretty half-elf sitting playing the flute
Cas - Both of the above and separate.

@Regitnui ahh okay thankyou xD Elki probably wouldn't have pick up the fact they're the same person just yet, since she had a bit of a hangover when she first saw Ilisandoral.

So just to be clear the party would number 7 people currently then?

With 1 person not yet seen ever.

@The Grey Dust, no. Cas has three personae, but is one person. So they have their own personality, but can appear as and be three other people.

I understand that.
However our characters do not know this.
There is a difference between OOC mechanics and IC perception.

So there are for IC purposes 7 people in their party:
Ilisandoral - Scholar 'hiding' in his carriage.
Ardiane - Bard sitting horseback playing the flute
Elki - Young cleric sitting at the back of the supply wagon
M - Mute psion driving the wagon
Kiki - Mercenary 1 / scout
Bar - Mercenary 2 / loose cannon
Seethe - Nobleman of the Lord's Alliance.

Two vehicles in transport:
one being the wagon owned by the Dwarf which we are to escort,
One belonging to Ilisandoral

Is this an accurate party count?

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 Would you say Gundren Rockseeker is aware your character is a changeling?

@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.)

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!

@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.

I totally agree with @JBRam2002, this was never about comparing our writing styles, or lengths, it is about having fun.

Hey all! I got some icons made up that our lovely DM can use in combat!

- Cienna & - Corgi (@Daemanis)

- Elki (@Mae)

- M (@The Grey Dust)

- Seethe (@Cu Chulainn)
