[Rusty of Shackleford]

Will respond when I can! Last week we had to put my dog down and it's still a little hard to find motivation

 

[Sherwood]

I have been there before, and its not fun. My sympathies.

 

[Sour Diesel]

I’ll give copper a rest and let someone else take the conversation over

My condolences. I know it’s been a tough road. We’ll be ready for you when you are. Take all the time you need

 

[Sour Diesel]

Am I the only one who hasn’t been getting alerts?

 

[Sour Diesel]

Rusty of Shackleford Will you be able to post this week?

 

[Rusty of Shackleford]

Hola! Yes, I should be able to! Went on a bit of a hiatus over the weekend

 

[Sour Diesel]

Well I’m going to post today so please catch up. Everyone has been very patient but I’m going to proceed with the quest vote

 

[Sour Diesel]

I wanted to make something clear since someone made me aware of it. Copper’s mind is disconnected from me as acting GM. Her opposing vote is not an attempt on my part to sway you into changing your vote. It’s what Copper would choose given her temperament. I personally want you to drag her all the way into that fort and slaughter green evil, or go help a friendly priest make the world a little brighter. Either way you’re doing your duty. There’s no wrong answer

 

[Sour Diesel]

Ironically, by trying to give her sympathy he triggered her dragon pride, so now she wants to fight just to prove she can

 

[Kidzait]

So I haven't been getting notifications for this the whole time. Hoping adding a message will wake it up.

 

[Sour Diesel]

Same I think the site is having technical issues

  Feature: Guild Membership
  As an established and respected member of a guild, you can rely on certain benefits that membership provides. Your fellow guild members will provide you with lodging and food if necessary, and pay for your funeral if needed. In some cities and towns, a guildhall offers a central place to meet other members of your profession, which can be a good place to meet potential patrons, allies, or hirelings.
  Guilds often wield tremendous political power. If you are accused of a crime, your guild will support you if a good case can be made for your innocence or the crime is justifiable. You can also gain access to powerful political figures through the guild, if you are a member in good standing. Such connections might require the donation of money or magic items to the guild’s coffers.
  You must pay dues of 5 gp per month to the guild. If you miss payments, you must make up back dues to remain in the guild’s good graces.

  From a young age, Lyra chased the dream of being the best cook in the world! She would seek new recipes and ingredients with the customary curiosity and zeal a Kender would have for their interests. While she was initially aided by her family, Lyra struck out on her own as soon as she could, gaining admission into a culinary guild to advance her dream.
  
  It was on the guild's behalf that she traveled to the small village of Amlon on a truffle hunt that her life took a turn. During the night, Amlon was attacked by denizens of the Underdark. Lyra ran with a group of villagers for a clearing where an ancient sword sticking out of a boulder was. Legend around Amlon was that when in great need, a worthy person could pull it free and wield its power. Several of the sturdiest villagers attempted to wrestle the blade free, but to no avail. The group was overtaken by goblins for a one sided battle. In the melee, Lyra made one last desprate grab for the magic blade. With her left hand firmly holding on to the hilt, she was grabed by her right shoulder by a goblin, pulling her and the blade away for the boulder. For a brief moment, the light of the moon shined off the broken and corroded blade as it came free, but the light soon became blinding as the ancient magic flared one final time to expel holy fire out, burning Lyra's left side, but completely immolating a half dozen goblins. Lyra hit the ground blind and in agony, but heard the paniced sounds of goblin retreat and the sound of hooves before she lost consciousness.
  
  Lyra awoke hours later in the care of local rangers who had rallied a rescue for the village. Among them was a Paladin of Selûne named Carsis who greeted her as she woke up, and asked if she would let go of the sword hilt. Turning the broken blade over, he told her the story of the sword, forged in the style of the elvish moonblades, and wielded by a Selûne champion until his death. The weapon was fractured and left in the stone, with many believing that it would not let itself be drawn unless by a noble heart. Carsis gave Lyra a meaningful look before putting the hilt down and letting her rest.
  
  Over the next few weeks, Lyra did her best to help the villagers. Though injured, she used her culinary skills to create good meals to fill their bellies and raise their spirits. Though initially disheartened by the carnage left from the attack, she saw the good she was giving with her cooking and the help Carsis was giving in reviving the spirits of the injured. It dawned on her that she felt more fulfilled protecting the light in people's souls than her striving for culinary perfection. When the time came to leave, she answered this feeling and the broken sword's apparent faith in her by joining Carsis as a squire.
  
  For the next 5 years, Lyra was trained in combat, honing her body to that of a warrior. Though a fair combatant, her true strength lie in her razor tongue goading her opponents to make mistakes she could capitalize on. While the broken sword was enshrined away at the Order's Keep, Lyra learned to commune with its spirit. It encouraged her to press on when she felt overwhelmed, promising her its aid and power when she provided she could uphold the ideals of the Ancients.
  
  With her training complete, Lyra was fully inducted into Selûne's Order as a Paladin. With the Servants of Dawn always in need of more shields, Lyra set out to protect the Light on their banner, and maybe pick up a few insteresting recipes along the way.

Approved! Please repost sheet in the characters page

 

[Sour Diesel]

welcome Lyra to the group everyone! We may have a new challenger for the leader position

 

[Sherwood]

Fine with me. I was offering to take the role to help get things started, so if someone else wants it, they are welcome to it.

 

[RikuXIII]

We'll see how people feel after the initial post.

 

[Sour Diesel]

I’d love to do this as a player but I can’t seem to find an open 5e campaign. Is it me or the site kind of slim picking?

You just got to keep a close watch on the Recruitment threads.

 

[Sour Diesel]

Forever DM

 

[Kidzait]

They don't get posted very often and fill up quick when they do. Being a DM isn't so bad. Be the 5e campaign you want to see on RPN lol.

 

[Sherwood]

Sour Diesel Do you know anything about the Palladium System and the Splicers setting? I'm running a game of Splicers that has some room to take on a new player.

 

[Sour Diesel]

Since I have no clue the fancy words you just tossed at me, I’m gonna say I probably won’t work out

 

[Sherwood]

Ah, well. I tried.

 

[Sour Diesel]

I appreciate the thought. I’m still happy to DM and play with you all
