Alright, there he is. If there's anything wrong, please let me know.
I had a quick question: Would playing an abhuman be out of the question? I was thinking of playing a ratling, but you had said human only, so I'm not sure.
Howdy! I'm super interested. I can have a CS tomorrow if that's alright with you all.
Caractacus returned the grimace that passed as a smile to the slith. "Aha. The l-last of our party arrives. If we are all ready, it is b-best we make haste."

Caractacus was about to strike out, when an idea struck him. "A th-thought occurs, if I may. If you've supplies that p-perhaps you do not need on hand at all times, my zomb--er, servants are more than capable of carrying them. It will make traveling easier with uh, less burden to bear, yes?" Caractacus unslung the leather rucksack from his back and handed it off to one of his two zombies. It did not even occur to him that the others may not appreciate having their goods handled by a shambling corpse. A hazard of his isolation.

Caractacus nodded to them both, and turned to start walking. Two paces down the road, he stopped. "Um--I j-just realized. I d-don't think I caught either of your n-names. Or m-maybe I just uh, forgot them. If I did, I'm s-sorry. I'm uh, Caractacus, if you didn't know mine..." He turned and kept walking, trying to keep the shame at his own awkwardness from showing.
I figure we can skip over some of the travel, but we can do a couple posts for events that happen while travelling, or reaching milestones or such.
Caractacus stepped outside, flanked by his two zombies. He stared out across the great swamp that was now the land of the dead. Turning to the illithid, Caractacus answered curtly. "Into the center of the Old Country." He pointed at the newly sprung mountain looming in the distance. "To the mountain. He took a few steps away from the building, on to the muddy soil. Close behind were his zombies.

"Once the slith joins us, we'll head out. It should be some time before we reach the mountain proper, but if we set a pace, we should be there withing a fortnight. Would be easier with horses..." The beasts of the earth never liked his presence. Caractacus's strange aura seemed to even effect the lesser beings. He shrugged, and turned to wait for the third of the trio to join them outside.
Yo boss, are you gonna post, or should I keep going?
Caractacus sighed, his grip tightening on the plain staff at his side. "I will do what I must. A curt answer, but one that would serve satisfactory. It was true, too. He was prepared to see this through now that he had a position of responsibility. Caractacus pushed away the empty plate and stood up.

"Very well. I am r-ready to leave, whenever you two are." He looked at his two newfound companions. He hoped they would serve trustworthy. As much as he hated the idea, he knew he would have to speak to the illithid mentally at some point. Morro was right in saying there would be no time to speak through the slith. It didn't stop his skin from crawling however.

Shaking the thought from his mind, he snapped his fingers at his zombies, and gave a terse order. "Follow. The shambling corpses followed close behind Caractacus as he took a position by the door.
Alright lads, post up tonight.
Caractacus shook his head again. "I have t-two caveats. First, we will be moving through the Old Country, yes? The undead are quite p-prevalent, and a necromancer l-like myself would not be, aheh, quite so sh-shunned, I would think. N-not to say the presence of our uh, slith compatriot--er, companion, isn't appreciated." Caractacus briefly smiled at Kij'hara. "But I wouldn't think a friendly face c-counts for much out there."

Caractacus stood up from his chair and stared the illithid in the eye. "And second. I do not now, nor will I ever, want you in my mind. You can respect that, or I will take my leave of you and this quest.
