TScorch Scorch stomped his feet when they found the witch, or what was left of her. That was the only was he knew to express his mixture of disbelief, frustration, anger, fear and sadness. She couldn’t leave yet, because if she left, then who would take care of them, her beloved familiars? Vaguely remembering the guidelines they’d been given, Scorch tried to think of a plan that made sense. The hare started pacing around and lighting the candles around the dead witch because that was all he was really good at and it made him feel like he had some control over this situation. “Yes, we must get the eyes. But how do we do that?”There was an undertone of desperation in his voice, but he tried his best to hide it while staying focused at lighting the candles.

I think you’re allowed two more talents. c:

Thanks for the invite. I’m still working on my characters background story a bit, but mechanically she should be ok already.

Vanio Valgok - Dwarven Druid, Circle of the Mountain. AC 15 | HP 27/27 | Init +1 | Passive Perception 15 | Passive Insight 15 | Hit Dice 3d8 | Vanio had been watching everything that happened around him carefully. When he heard the children had been gone for two weeks, he feared for them. That was a long time to be gone already, yet he felt pretty confident that he and his new companions would be able to find them if they were at the Citadel. Yopine had offered her help, then Zorian had stepped forward to offer his and Vanio's too. The dwarf was fine with that and nodded in agreement. "I am willing to offer my services to you as well. If they are still around the ruins, we will find them. Could you describe what the children look like and do you know what the adventurers were looking for in particular?"

Npc is my preference too

Vanio Valgok - Dwarven Druid, Circle of the Mountain. AC 15 | HP 27/27 | Init +1 | Passive Perception 15 | Passive Insight 15 | Hit Dice 3d8 | Vanio gave Yopine a disarming smile. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to insult you." Then, he answers Zorian. "I can imagine. The winters can be harsh, especially as an adventurer." He takes a moment to look around the tavern and think. Pushes back his hair a bit, because it started falling across his face and bothering him. "So I think it's decided then. Would you both like to leave immediately? In that case, I will need a moment to grab some stuff."

That is also a great tip, thank you. I will keep that in mind for when I want to start a game.

Thanks for the answer. Maybe I’ll put an ad out for a one-shot stating I’m a starting DM.

I want to learn to become a DM because there seems to be a high demand for them and also because it seems like a really fun role to have in a game, building a world etc. Is there any amount of experience I need to have in a game system before I am ready to start up a game? Do I need to play out a couple of games first or can I just start up a game and learn while playing as a DM?

Vanio Valgok - Dwarven Druid, Circle of the Mountain. AC 15 | HP 27/27 | Init +1 | Passive Perception 15 | Passive Insight 15 | Hit Dice 3d8 | Vanio was amazed at how quick the other two were to put their trust in complete strangers. He took his time to take a good look at time while they were talking. The elf looked like a regular adventurer to him, the gnome stood out a bit. She looked like she hadn't even fully matured yet, but she talked like she knew what she was doing. Before he had had the time to respond, they had skipped over to introductions. It would be very impolite to not tell anything about himself now, so he did. "My name is Vanio Valgok. I'm a druid, but even more an archeologist. I have travelled here to investigate the Sunless Citadel, or what is left of it. Nice to meet you both." Now, having that out of the way he finally saw a chance to ask for more information, because the druid figured that it would be a good thing to know a thing or two before running off mindlessly into a possibly dangerous situation. He turned to Yopine first. "Thief hunting, you said? Aren't you a little young to be involved in that kind of action? Ah well, that's none of my business anyway and at least you have a plan. I know what way we have to travel to get to the ruins, but I have never been there before and have no idea of what state it is in. I was hoping to find out some information about that first by asking around a bit, but haven't had much luck with it. These goblins you mentioned, maybe they will have some useful information for us?" Then he turned to the half-elf. "Have you been to the ruins before? Do you reckon we can just run in? Are you also a thief-hunter?"

Expressing interest, are you still taking applications? Are you taking players who are new to the system?

Scorch, the pyromaniac hare. For as long as he could remember, Scorch had always lived with and served the witch. She had blessed him with a spell of fire, the greatest gift. Okay, maybe it wasn't much more than the ability to create a small flame, but it was certainly enough to light a candle and it made the hare proud. He had served the witch by helping out around the house by lighting candles or torches, burned the weeds in her garden and lit her cooking fires. He would also sit on her feet to warm them when they were cold. In his own head, however, he was destined for great things. Scorch is known for causing a lot of little accidents around the place while practicing his flame making. He has set things on fire before without meaning to. Sometimes, he made a flame somewhere just because he felt like it, because it made him feel powerful when the flame evolved into a real fire. The witch had scolded him many times for this, but he loved her nonetheless. Stats Clever 0 Fierce 0 Sly 2 Quick 3 DANGER 0

Vanio Valgok - Dwarven Druid, Circle of the Mountain. AC 15 | HP 27/27 | Init +1 | Passive Perception 15 | Passive Insight 15 | Hit Dice 3d8 | When the two mentioned the ruins, Vanio was indeed very interested. Now aware of the fact that the two had probably noticed him listening in, it was best to talk to them. He had almost finished the big pile of food anyway. Maybe they could help eachother. He scraped his throat. "Excuse me, I heard you're headed to the ruins of the citadel. How would you feel about heading there together? I'm not really familiar with the area to be honest, but I also have some business to take care of around there."

I don’t usually dress up for Halloween, it’s not so common around here, but if I would, I would choose to be a witch. A wicked one.
