Welcome to the OC thread. I go by Chai on the threads, I am a Father, a Student, and a full-time employee, so sometimes the pace may lag a little. But, that's fine with me. Go ahead and give us a more detailed introduction of your character and we will begin shortly!
when you're ready to jump into the IC thread and get ready for some action!
Backstory Jarmon grew up in a small farming cottage in the eastern part of Ersa with his mother (Miriam), father(Juern), older brother (Albarn) and younger sister (Ildea). The family trade had been monster hunters for hire, or "exterminators" as they liked to call themselves. The tradition foretold that only the eldest was to become the next in line of exterminators so Jarmon, not being the eldest, became a fletcher instead. He made and sold arrows to the surrounding homesteads and hunters. Everyone needed arrows every now and then because of the harsh environment.
When his brother lost his left leg to the lions head of a chimera Jarmon had to pick up the family trade since Albarn had to switch profession. What good is a hunter that cant sneak up to his pray and has to hop around on one leg anyway? Jarmon grabbed his brothers longbow and headed out into the world. He now was the main gold source for his family, although his sister worked as a barmaid at the only local tavern it was far from enough to feed two seniors and a cripple.
Jarmon tinkered and trained for a couple of months in their shed and managed to make himself a custom crossbow he named "Patty". She is crude and missing just about every part possible, but Jarmon refuses to let it stay at home when he travels.
"One day i can buy the missing parts Albarn, and then I will say goodbye to your basic longbow forever and start using old Patty here"
Looks and appearance: Jarmon is a tall, sinewy lad in his early 20s. He has brown, short hair, a scruffy beard, blue eyes and a small scar above his left eye after a little accident while creating Patty (when crossbow strings snap they snap HARD).
His voice is in the lowish mid range with a light rasp to it. He usually smiles and usually is seen fiddling with a small piece of wood or anything similar. He loves to whittle.

Gwythian is a 62 year old human Druid who was raised through the Druidic tradition in the woodlands of Ersa. He loves a good mystery and is completely absorbed in the seeking of self improvement and power through esoteric knowledge and is easily distracted by its lore. Gwythian strives to know and understand The Creator and has been preoccupied since he was a small child with uncovering an answer to the question: why am I here?
His backstory is only simple at the moment and I will flesh it out as we go along and I have a better feel for the world he lives in.

Hi guys, I'll be playing Shaede - your cool, calm, collected, and calculating rogue. IRL my name is Matt - a father, husband, and engineer. Looking forward to this campaign.
Hey guys just so you are aware. I'll be doing a lot of posting on my tablet and on my smart phone so I won't be able to use spoilers or funky colours. The interface is a bit less able on smaller devices. Although I can include the script for dice rolls and use everyone else's spoilers so it's functional enough for me to play. Just wanna apologise ahead of time for me less aesthetically pleasing posts.

You can also go to the drop down menu and find the desktop view option. It will allow you to use the spoilers and stuff. I post a lot from my phone too and I will use desktop view to do the rolls and spoilers, it is pretty clunky, so I do switch it back if I know I'm doing a dialogue only post lol. It's a pain, but it works. It's up to you though, whatever you like best.
Go ahead and post in the IC thread whenever you're ready. I posted the link above. I think there is one more player, but we won't get too far ahead by the time they check in lol
Yeah I've seen the desktop option but it is so clunky! A few of us have posted in the game thread.

Brom is a seasoned warrior. He spent the majority of his life in service to his clan Ironshield as a soldier.

He found himself venturing from city to city hiring himself out as a caravan guard to protect cargo from highwaymen.
Brom is 159 years old and is a soldier who has seen countless battles. He has a fiercely loyal demeanor and he believes in Law and order. He will fight for his friends, giving his own life if needed.

Thanks for pointing out the hit points on my character sheet. I hadn't updated it after the last level up, and kinda forgot that we're level 2. My mistake. One question about the current positioning with Shaede. He was struck with Brutus's tail, so is he currently "engaged" with Brutus, or is the tail swipe a sort of ranged attack? I guess, my fundamental question is - what is the current distance from Brutus, and can he freely move without taking a disengage action?
The tail attack has a reach of 10 feet, so you are at the very least 10 feet away. I would say probably 15 though, I like to think a swinging club attack from a massive creature carries an inane knock back quality lol
