@Flagg@Gunther You two still with us? No biggie if you're not, but you need to tell me so I can give other people a chance to join. I'll need a post before Tuesday if you're still in the RP.

Ulf Gunnerson and Njal Osborne are on the same trail. How about they run into Torsten and join him on his quest for adventure?

Could you work with this?

Dyla Roots
   
Burrowfolk | 30 | Female

Appearance
Dyla stands proud and imposing at 3 feet and 8 inches- tall, by Burrowfolk standards. She's also young by their standards. Her brown, curly hair and brown, warm eyes don't do much to change that impression.

Personality
Like most Burrowfolk, Dyla is inclined towards comforts, kindnesses and curiosity. That last trait, however, is a bit stronger in her than in your average, socially-accepted Burrowfolk. She's not just curious, but aggressively curious. She asks too many questions, and wants to know too much about everyone she meets. But luckily, that's made her quick to read people- not to mention good at making friends fast.

Background
Ex-trader
Middle-Class
Father is a pumpkin gardener, of course, and Mother is a local historian who specializes in family histories.

History
Life in Pumpkinhollow is pleasant. And comfortable. And nice. And safe. And... boring. Life in Pumpkinhollow is boring. 

Dyla spent about 7 years running a stall on the road into her home town, where she got to meet travelers from all parts of the world. She made friends from all over: Norgardians, Thaegars, Wood Elves and Silver Elves, Banians and Half-Elves.

But in the end, Pumpkinhollow is an Andredian province, and so Andredians were the most common travelers. And a few of them, at least, came from the most interesting province: Blackwood. Everytime Dyla heard stories about the country to the north of her own, it excited her in a way her home never could. The more she heard about it, the more it seemed to Dyla that her own land was dull by comparison. The people in Pumpkinhollow may as well be asleep. But Blackwood, dangerous and uncomfortable as it was, is awake. And if only her friends and family could be so awake, too!

So that's how the young, naive Burrowhob finds herself on the road into Blackwood, hoping to find something worth bringing back home and showing to her people: Look, there's more out here than pumpkins and tea!

Motivation
To find something valuable, rare and preferably magical, and bring it back to her people to reinvigorate their sense of adventure.

@POOHEAD189 How much are the different coins worth, apart from in relation to each other? I'm being a bit vague on the subject of payment in my latest IC post, and I'd like to correct that in a future edit once I know more about money.

@Duck

It's actually mentioned in the character sheet example when we were rolling for starting currency. To Quote it

For simplicity's sake, we're doing 3 types of coinage. Royals (Gold), Lordlings (Silver), and Commons (Copper). They each measure 20 of the previous coinage. 20 Lordlings makes a Royal and 20 Commons makes a Lordling.
Unless you're more so asking for the relative cost of goods like a meal or hireling, then I leave that to Poohead to give us a better idea.

@Tortoise Sorry it took me so long to go over your sheet. 

She seems perfect for this sort of roleplay. Though please add a bit more to her personality, if you would. 

@Duck That's difficult for me to answer. You do, of course, know that 20 copper commons is 1 silver and 20 silver is 1 gold. How about this... Generally you can consider a copper common 1-2 USD, and a Silver Lordling like 50$ bill, and Gold is either 100-200 USD depending on where you are. I know that is somewhat still vague, but I hope it helps quantify things. 

Like you can usually buy meals by using commons, and very expensive ones with silver. A room at an inn will certainly cost silver or gold, depending on how swanky it is. 

Does that help?

Personality updated. I also tweaked her skills super slightly (removed intuition, upped appraisal). Good to drop in the Characters tab?

Dyla Roots
   
Burrowfolk | 30 | Female

Appearance
Dyla stands proud and imposing at 3 feet and 8 inches- tall, by Burrowfolk standards. She's also young by their standards. Her brown, curly hair and brown, warm eyes don't do much to change that impression.

Personality
Like most Burrowfolk, Dyla is inclined towards comforts, kindnesses and curiosity. That last trait, however, is a bit stronger in her than in your average, socially-accepted Burrowfolk. She's not just curious, but aggressively curious. She asks too many questions, and wants to know too much about everyone she meets. It's a bit aggravating, but a good instinct for a trader to have.

Of course, traders are supposed to be greedy too, and Dyla might have a bit of greed in her. She can be cunning, maybe even manipulative- in her own friendly, Burrowfolk way. Once you see past the height and the odd habits, Dyla is far more ambitious than you'd expect. She even has a sense of adventure.

Background
Ex-trader
Middle-Class
Father is a pumpkin gardener, of course, and Mother is a local historian who specializes in family histories.

History
Life in Pumpkinhollow is pleasant. And comfortable. And nice. And safe. And... boring. Life in Pumpkinhollow is boring. 

Dyla spent about 7 years running a stall on the road into her home town, where she got to meet travelers from all parts of the world. She made friends from all over: Norgardians, Thaegars, Wood Elves and Silver Elves, Banians and Half-Elves.

But in the end, Pumpkinhollow is an Andredian province, and so Andredians were the most common travelers. And a few of them, at least, came from the most interesting province: Blackwood. Everytime Dyla heard stories about the country to the north of her own, it excited her in a way her home never could.

But Blackwood, dangerous and uncomfortable as it was, is awake. And if only her friends and family could be so awake, too!

So that's how the young, naive Burrowhob finds herself on the road into Blackwood, hoping to find something worth bringing back home and showing to her people: Look, there's more out here than pumpkins and tea!

Motivation
To find something valuable, rare and preferably magical, and bring it back to her people to reinvigorate their sense of adventure.
