All right.  I think that's everyone that should be here.  Does anyone want to match or build backgrounds between characters?  As mentioned, everyone will have been in Sandpoint for 2-4 weeks by this point.<br/><br/>I'm going to kick off the IC post sometime within the next 12 hours, with everyone gathered at Rusty Dragon tavern at about 9 in the morning.  The talk of the town has been recent goblin activity what with a caravan that just got attacked, with numbers conservatively placing goblin numbers at nearly 100 - an alarming shoot up from the usual 5-10 that usually cause mischief - even at the height of goblin troubles a few years back, no one ever had to deal with more than 30 or so gobs at a time.  The sheriff has reinstated the bounty for goblin ears (10 gp a pair) which has stirred would be adventurers in town.<br/><br/>I'm intending to advance PC levels by milestone rather than XP gain, unless anyone has strong objections.<br/><br/>One experimental idea I wanted to bounce of you guys is that whilst everyone works together, when in 'adventure mode' people organize themselves in to groups 3 to 4 to tackle separate tasks, rather than lumping into a large group of 7.
