Many many apologies about my lack of posting.  It's been crazy for me the last couple of days, and I've had difficulty concentrating.  I'm going to go ahead and try to dash out a post right quick, and then see if I can't get things moving for me again.  Fortunately, the problems are of a personal nature, so you guys won't have to worry about me dropping off the face of the earth.<br/><br/>(Ahh, stupid RL drama!)<br/><br/><br/><br/>Also, Christopher28, how about this for integrating your character:  Two years ago, you ran across a particularly hardliner cleric who found out you were a lycanthrope.  He did what clerics tend to do in that situation and gave you an all expenses paid trip to Lammania, the twilight forest.  (the plane of primal nature)  Afterwords, you walked the planes trying to get home, experiencing nearly every major plane in the multiverse.  This background would give you 9 free ranks in Knowledge (The Planes) and you'd be added to the party to help guide them through the planes as they make haste for Sharn.<br/><br/>You'd know that getting through Syrania, the plane of Angels that connects to Sharn, is rather difficult because the angels don't have a form of currency.  There are  three chief ways of moving through the plane: Engaging the angels in interesting philisophical debate, Providing mercenary service on the plane of Shavarath, or seducing the angels.  The third option is the hardest, but easier for people of stringently good alignment, or with the attrativeness of a succubus.
