I don't believe that any one of us would truly claim to be the leader, but you may ask questions as they come to you and we shall all do our best to answer your questions.

Sorry about the frequent font color change...trying to find one that looks good on my monitor. Think I found it.

I don't know if olive is good or not, but I didn't want to trespass on this group's established choices.

Nah, you're fine. I liked purple til I switched my preferences to the black/gold motif. It's too hard to see, so I like the lighter color purple now.

OOC, recapping for myself as well as Arnir:
The Caravan consists of Three Wagons:

Alpha Wagon is driven by Jerrod (Human) and is filled with Barrels.

Beta Wagon is driven by Derek (Human) and is filled with Long Wooden Boxes.

Charlie Wagon is driven by Yngma (Dwarf) and is filled with Netting wrapped around Small Boxes.

Sepha (Human) has her own Horse and rides alongside the Caravan.

Sepha suggests you choose your positions and keep an eye out for any signs of trouble.
=================
Allanon/Grafvolluth is scouting in the front. Gideon/GrandMof in watching the rear.

I'm on the back wagon. Hammer/Hyena is on the front wagon. Middle wagon has the driver alone.

Arthur, hop up on the middle Wagon with Derek. *points*We'll stop for lunch and you can meditate then.

Kupa climbs onto the rear wagon, nodding to the dwarven driver. He sets his bow at his side and loosens his greatsword in its sheath, assuming everyone else will resume their previous travel positions.

Then I'll assume that I will at least get fed for helping out if not paid.

I've meditated, changed one spell (magic weapon to detect evil).

Coop: Just roleplaying the character a bit. Detect evil is because the character might not really trust y'all yet and I'm not good at knowing who does what yet. Figured I would chalk the mistake up to being careful.

Let alone adding class levels.

Barbarian 10 / Frenzied Berseerker 10

Now I know if we run into a spiked chain weilding kobold that I should probably run the other way.


:twisted:

That being said I can just roll the damn fort save and be done with it, didn't mean to hold up the show just thought if I could stop a few of us from taking some non lethal damage by putting water soaked rags on the back of our necks then why not try

Doh.....

Spinning dice can be so annoying. Just have to wait them out. Eventually they fall.
