I hope everyone had a happy holliday! I had a nice enough one myself despite spending time with my family.

Not bad, not bad. I can make the same comment as you Roasted, though in my case it absolutley was despite spending time with my family. I was at an in-laws wedding on the 24th, and the bride's return dinner on the 25th - very trad Chinese things, with a couple of rather strange quirks coming out. These can vary a lot, in this case it was the bride and groom at one point sitting on a pair of pants.

Well, at least you seem in a good mood about someone scheduling their wedding to conflict with Christmas.  That's a postive note. Not sure what the sitting on a pair of pants was about ... But then again I don't know very many traditional Chinese couples in real life.

Do NOT meddle in the affairs of dragons; for you are crunchy and go good with ketchup

 Doh! Aka again!! I just can't escape!! Good to have you aboard! No worries on the double rogue thing. I was assuming I was gonna multi-class Rik at some point anyway - either as a fighter/rogue or as a (non-optimal build) rogue/bard. with 3.5e there's plenty of customization available - particularly with rogues. Looking forward to it!

I am going to multi-class Mayeen, but only by taking a couple levels in fighter. I cannot resist the two bonus feats, which I can definitely use. Since Mayeen is going to be as much of a ranged fighter as she can, I really could use the Point Blank Shot and Precise Shot feats. Other than that, I think I will strick with a straight rogue.

So, I assume you've realized this is a theifly and roguish party. Play to your personalities and strengths, the world and your adventures will takes shape around you in response to your actions.
I was very happy to have Aka express an interest in the thread. I like the details she puts into her character, giving them some artistic talent as a foil for roleplaying. I look forward to seeing how she evolves in this game.
Again, welcome aboard!
I have presented to Grawlin and opportunity to spin roleplaying off of Vino in the current thread. Depending on how he responds, I may provide more storyweaving elements or dial it back. I like to see my players thinking. I would like to encourage you towards speculation and advance thought. I have seen dungeon masters who tend to thwart players by twisting situations around against them. I try very hard not to do that.
In particular, I had an experience where my character was going against a more powerful NPC and happened to get a lucky shot. I expressed smugness through the character and the NPC happened to get a coincidental critical hit that killed my character. I understand some of you may have developed a habit of not being forward thinking into the game from situations similar, where the DM seems to delight in thwarting you.
Personally, I have always though that was dirty pool. I want my players involved in the plot and thinking about potential twists and curves. If I wanted to force a plot down your throats, I'd be better served writting stories by myself.
Remember, the purpose is to have fun, so enjoy yourself.

@Roasted - sounds great. Looking forward to see how things develop. I'm still trying to feel out what Rik's like. I'm hoping to use the discussion to help flesh him out a bit better.

I'm still feeling my way with Rex a bit too. Regardless of his book knowledge, and I'll expand on that going forward, he's going to remain a man of action though Ergo the brisk reply.

I thought I'd escaped. I saw you sniffing and poking around in this thread... then low and behold, another character that miraculously has been taught how to listen well 
I was sniffing. Lol. I didn't think anyone would notice. I kept telling myself I simply could not join any more games and then more than half a dozen up and died on me. It's a new year and I decided to poke my nose in. Since I cut my D&D PbP teeth in a game RS was DMing, I already knew there would be no way I could pass up a chance to beg to get in once I read the storyline. Even the name got me hooked - Goblin City. 
Sounds like something fun. (Or really scary!)
