Tissue:
Normally yes, sorry if that wasn't entirely clear.

Window of oppertunity:
As he did keep that in his pocket, this would logically be it. But let's say... for the sake of a humorous novelty, it doesn't have to be.
(As it is nice to grant you some say in who Ravadon is beyond his usual stereotyping... xD)

Reasoning:
Also, seeing the state Ravadon is in, I doubt he could read that all on his own. Let alone sing it aloud.

Ok, so a few questions for you.

1. What are the possible ways to the castle/the keep.
2. Would the reaper like to follow Ravadon?
3. Is there any chance Ravadon could still pick up some goodies from the market?

1. Keep walking. It's a straight shot from the market to the palace - you can even see the gates from where we're standing.
2. He has only to ask. ;)
3. With so much stuff overturned in the confusion, nobody really knows whose is whose. That said, looting during catastrophe is decidedly unheroic, so he may need to restrict himself to items found on the ground. Unlike most medieval towns, Midhaven has flush toilets, so the ground is relatively clean.

I could stand to learn a few things listed here.

Any feedback on the RP? I feel like I'm missing something, like a good villain or something.

Oh yeah, you missed something alright.

"General conduct for Rpers":If you lose interest in an RP do not just vanish; politely with (SPACE) draw.
xD The internal grammar nazi is not within this one! ~plagerueis the wise~

In summary, all the post says:
"Communication is key and respect eachother in any way I can think of. But because I can't think of them all, here's a list for now that needs updating anytime between 5 days and 3 months over the course of the past 2 years (and longer if I read correctly...)"

Seems to me, you're fine. If you want to 'improve yourself' because you feel the need to, let nothing stop you, I'd say. Just know that I think you are a wonderful GM and am happy to participate in your rp. ^^

Everything looks fine, as stated Communication is key. Much like anything being Transparent about things, anything from Lore to magic to even the basic things can make all the differences. As is always my nitch to say, devil is in the Details. However the level of detail is always subject to the reader so I say this: set a level you like and reach for it. Under shooting is bad but it never hurts to over shoot.

Again general feed back from me is, things are fine so far.

I guess the reason I'm asking is because I feel that character motivation is in the tank right now. What are they all fighting for? They're only here because the Reaper dragged them here. At first, I thought the golem threat would help, but it's coming across as really lame, and I've been scrambling to salvage it. The Void threat would make more sense, but it's far too early to open the Portal. There's nothing I can think of that would motivate the player characters to get anything done. So player motivation, likewise, is suffering, and solutions aren't coming to mind.

In order to gauge where player motivation needs improvement, I need feedback on its current level. Just based on my own motivation, I need a compelling new villain, and fast.

Well instead of a villain in the terms your currently thinking lets stop and look at the world as a whole. Who would want the void to open, What group and or group of people would this give and advantage too?

Remember your would is built right now on one level and that is the area in which we are currently looking at. Right now its the destoryed castle, which Dragon (Salamander hue hue hue) has currently just crushed. Why did he do this, what did he gain from doing this, what will the characters get from aiding/hindering the current threat.

You need to sit down and ask the big 5. Who, what, when, where and why. From there build a plan that leads into a more open world or lined path. At this point you have things locked in with the current attack. No one really knows why the Dragon just came and stole those people, no one knows why the Golems are attacking.

As far as it stands a rather strong summoner or group of them would need to be around for something like this to have happened. If we go off of that we have a who (sort of you could say its a cult), why are they/this person attacking Mid-haven in the day time. What is the goal or what is the group/person gaining from this attack? (Fellow WoW lore nerds would remember this might ring around the Undead Scourge when they made the black scar to Silvermoon in an attempt to get their hands on the sun well while also making a army of undead to aid them)

We know who the Dragon is, but why did he do what he did. What is he gaining from doing this?

As far as the finial enemy, since we can't get to that yet we leave it as a blank for now. So go ahead and work on the big 5. Most of them we already have, its the other parts that need the work to get this 'player motivation' high. Worse case you could always break down and ask people to get an idea of what they feel is right and or what they want to see. PM/Steam/Discord/Skype it out to people to get feed back in private this way they don't feel pressured to answer out right here if they don't want people seeing what they are thinking and or don't feel comfortable saying it in the general public.

Caradras' rationale for his attack is actually well-known to me, and constitutes a major endgame plot point. The problem with using him as an antagonist is that his rationale is not conducive to ordering strikes on human settlements. As a Guardian, his ultimate goal is humanity's well-being.

Wait a sec.

I think I know how to fix the villain problem...
