				This is the place for discussing matters as fellow writers and players.<br><br>To begin, I would encourage you all come up with <strong>two events from your characters' background</strong> that you share with another character:<br><br>Meaning, such as a common heritage, an adventure together, coveting the same object, a friendly rivalry or a former romance.<br><br>Take your time developing them.&nbsp; We can design them as action begins, as I expect we will reveal them during the course of the narrative anyway.<br>

				<div align="center"><strong>Miaren fer'Bran</strong></div><br>The information given here would be essentially public knowledge.&nbsp; I've left out the name of a home village, in case someone wants to use that as a 'common link'.&nbsp; It's also possible that one or both of the other players have used her guide-services in the past.&nbsp; If either character is elven or has elven heritage, it's also possible that the two of them have met semi-socially in one of her wanderings.&nbsp; <br><br>Description: Miaren has chestnut-brown hair to the middle of her back (usually held back with a leaf-shaped clasp), and pine-green eyes.&nbsp; She stands a little under 5’9”, with a lanky build, although there is no risk of mistaking her for a male.&nbsp; Like most in her class, she dresses in browns and greens, wearing a leather vest, high boots, and sturdy breeches.&nbsp; She prefers a bow, but also carries a long dagger for those times when a blade is necessary - from skinning dinner to cutting a staff.&nbsp; Her one ‘luxury’ is a full cloak that she commissioned of a weaver with a green warp and brown weft, a combination that – while not as absolute as the work of elves – does a fair job of blending into the leaves and branches.&nbsp; <br><br>Background:&nbsp; Miaren has spent much of her life familiarizing herself with the forests – ranging from hour-long walks in the woods around her home village to weeks on end spent in the trackless stretches where only elves commonly roam.&nbsp; She is on good terms with the elves – at least as good as humans are likely to get, especially as she has great respect for their ways.&nbsp; With her skills, she would be able to live comfortably without much contact with others, but her thirst for travel – and expanding her knowledge – have led her to sell her services as a guide and ‘woodsman’, particularly to adventurers who have more experience in surviving battle than in surviving a snowstorm.<br><br>That being said, she does not hold such adventurers in disdain, often joining into the sharing of tales, whether around a tavern commons or a campfire.

				I take this to be an OOC room so big pardon if I'm talking in a very familiar sort of way.&nbsp; A more handy bio will probably go up sooner rather than later.<br><br>My character's name is Draque.&nbsp; He's elven rogue/ranger--but he has no social skills with animals or people.<br><br>As I envisioned him, he's a very sturdy adventurer.&nbsp; He is good in dungeons, he is good on land.&nbsp; He possesses a myriad of skills that make him physically inclined:&nbsp; climbing, jumping, etc.&nbsp; But, Draque also possesses a series of skills that make him handy in a dungeon, like disable device and open lock.&nbsp; He prefers to fight with kukris, which in game terms, makes him a contact softy.&nbsp; He cannot take that many hits as a front-line fighter, and he can't create that much damage (20 hit points, if he hits a critical/sneak attack!), but he is always worked in such a way that enemies are always flat-footed and flanked for others to benefit.&nbsp; In combat, Draque will play as if he's got a chip on his shoulder (and though he is a chaotic good character, is VERY likely to cheat).<br><br>Since we must create a network of past alliances, I would be up for Draque knowing any of the two other PCs as such:<br><br>1.&nbsp; Fellow adventurers with good previous alliances (Draque didn't cheat you);<br>2.&nbsp; Fellow adventurers with bad previous alliances (Draque cheated you);<br>3.&nbsp; Draque is the guy you go to to open chests;<br>4.&nbsp; You saved Draque's life against ______ because, though he thinks he can, he can't actually fight things on his own;<br>5.&nbsp; You knew Draque from his life in Elan, his township, and liked him, despite his compulsions;<br>6.&nbsp; You knew Draque from his life in Elan, his township, and absolutely hated Draque because of his compulsions;<br><br>...&nbsp; Oh, it's rather limitless, really.<br><br>As for Draque's personality; he has a runt personality.&nbsp; He is more frail than other elves (-1 HP per level, -2 AC), but he's gutsy, plucky and quick to anger.&nbsp; Yet he's fiercely loyal to his friends and is, like previously mentioned, really handy to have in a fight/dungeon crawl.<br><br>As for growth, I see him getting a few more levels of ranger/rogue (need evasion, endurance!), and then going into a master class.<br><br><br><br><br><br>

				Hmm - fellow ranger, and Miaren has a history of wandering in elven lands.&nbsp; Possibly she came near Elan or Draque during one of those wanderings?&nbsp; I could see a level of professional respect, maybe a round or two of trying to best each other on tales (you don't need real social skills for that).<br><br>Maybe a game of dice or five where she's not <em>entirely</em> sure he didn't cheat, but she didn't lose all that much gold, so it's been chalked up as a 'learning experience'?

				He's a ranger in the loosest term, though.&nbsp; But yeah, maybe they have adventured together before.<br><br>You could have helped him defeat a magical beast (his favored enemy) and he could have helped you defeat your favored enemy.<br><br>But if they know each other, then they can talk to one another at the tavern.

				I am all for some friendly competition, but you - and I mean the characters in general, not necessarily these two - may also have intentionally gathered at the Southwark Tavern for the contract.<br><br>After all, it's always good to take on these kinds of contracts with some back up.<br><br>So while it's unlikely that Draque didn't hire on Miaren, perhaps Miaren - knowing hills are involved and so expecting caves or dungeons - hired on Draque.<br><br>I should also note that Vella is playing a half-elf rogue, and so fits in nicely, between cultures and occupations.

				Oh, Miaren's definitely there for the contract - well, taking out the nasty giant-ish thing and hopefully saving captives, but the gold's always a nice addition.&nbsp; I expect she'll recognize Draque based on our ideas here, and suggest they throw in together.<br><br>Oh, is this going to have a posting order, or kind of free-form except in initiative situations?

				In light of last post, also feel like you direct the action to a large degree at this point.&nbsp; When you've got good and acquainted, and want to hit the trail, say so, and I'll put you on the path into the peat.&nbsp; Otherwise, I'll let you talk amongst yourself, interact with the villagers - such as they are - and otherwise just acclimate.
