[OOC] Group 2: Curse of Strahd [5e]

The mournful, bitter wind screeched around street corners and hammered on bolted doors, a violent storm dancing in the skies above the dismal village. What few villagers still lived cowered in their homes, calming the children that dared cry and praying for the ones who had never uttered a peep. Far above the streets of dilapidated buildings and abandoned houses, the ancient walls of Castle Ravenloft loomed like a spectre in the night. An odious rumble and a crack of white illuminated the stark figure standing alone on the parapet. His cape billowed and snapped in the howling wind, his cold calculating countenance a handsome but frightful visage to behold. The ravages of madness, power and tragedy danced along the thin razor edge of his emerging smile. Adventurers had just entered his ancient domain.

He did so enjoy breaking in new guests.

@Cao the Exiled@0 Azzy 0@Tangletail@Claw2k11

feel free to add your characters up to the character tab now.

Would you guys like a different Adventure Hook to get into the campaign?

[0 Azzy 0]

I'll be honest that I haven't looked at the other thread and very likely won't do so until after our own plot moves waaaay past them (which we are def gunna do amirite?). So, any plot hooks are just swell to me.

@Cao the Exiled@0 Azzy 0@TangleTail@Claw2k11

Sorry for the wait! IC is up. Feel free to post.

I will need to know your position on the caravans. There are two and you are travelling with one caravan behind the other at a steady pace. Each Caravan has a lantern next to the driver, but any light out the back will have to be from personal lanterns.

Each caravan can fit about four people inside, under cover, and one driver comfortably. Two people can sit in the driver's area, but it makes it harder to drive the caravan as you are squished arm to arm. The caravan themselves are hooded and if you are inside the caravan you are out the rain. However, only the driver seat and the back two slots of each caravan have good views of the road. Inside the caravans it is quite cramped as Carron tried to bring as many supplies as possible without shelling out for another vehicle and mounts.

I will place the two NPC caravan guards once you guys have decided your seats and whether any of you are driving either vehicle. Carron is the orange circle.

[Claw2k11]

Yay! If we decide here where we're placed, then I'll be in the first caravan in the seat behind Carron. I'll get a post up as soon as I can.

[Mae]

@Claw2k11 sweet! Carron will reply next post, but the final stop is the castle, stay some time there to unload and trade and get your rewards, and then you loop back the way you came.

Perception Roll: Everything seems peaceful in the forest. As far as you can discern, there is nothing out there in the woods for you to be concerned about...

[Cao the Exiled]

Atanase will sit in the second wagon, towards the back and on the left.He will have his crossbow loaded and on his lap.

[Cao the Exiled]

May I make a post or hold off?

[Mae]

@Cao the Exiled Is this correct?

[Cao the Exiled]

absolutely

[0 Azzy 0]

Elran would prolly be hanging in the same cart as his FRIEND AND COMPANION Jester.

[Tangletail]

Probably the back caravan on the inside then with Elaran.

@Mae

*pokes head through ceiling vent*

Hi. I notice you have the Apply tag still. Would you be willing to take on another?

[Mae]

@CollectorOfMyst I'm happy with that so long as none of my players have any objections.

We're still very early in, you may even be able to join the initial caravan if you wish.

Here's the current caravan setup, everyone:

ANOTHER ONE! *cheers*

[CollectorOfMyst]

Hallo. I be your nervous resident healing smol.

[Mae]

@Cao the Exiled Do you have a link for the dice rolls?

@CollectorofMyst You can add your character up to the character tab and post while we discuss the last few details :D

Where would you like to go on the wagons?

[Claw2k11]

Awww... I'm alone in the first carriage? Why does nobody want to stay with the dragonborn?

[0 Azzy 0]

Jump from one carriage to the next dramatically!

[CollectorOfMyst]

@Claw2k11 Well guess what, bud. You're getting a halfling in the seat right next to you. It is incredibly likely, however, that he will be scared of you as well.

This be him.

I use a different website to y'all, but I know my way around it. Right now this reflects our current version, we're just working out the last few details.
