Its been suggested a separate thread for actual game play might be beneficial. I assume in that case general chatting / questions for the group could happen here, and the actual posts would happen there. Does anyone have any thoughts or opinions on this?
Look at what you've done. You spoiled it. You have nobody to blame but yourself. Go sit and think about your actions.

I have made an anchor post in a new thread. You'll want to subscribe. All the action should take place there. All the public discussions and questions should happen here.
From here I'll be messaging some of you to get the ball rolling, starting with the druids and rangers and locals. Others will get their private messages later.
Money is a bit different here. I'll be adjusting what you have left on your character sheet soon.
It is 100 silver for a single gold piece. None of you have ever seen an electrum or platinum piece.
Most necessities in town can be found in town for a few copper, the finer things (among the rural populace) a few silver. Extravagances such as martial weapons and armor.
PHB pricing should NOT be assumed.
Buying a deferral costs more than you have.
privately let me know how old each of you are, and if youre likely to have any tattoos for service to the empire.
Since 3 of you are kind of nature oriented - and it MIGHT come up
There are 10 months of 30 days each.
There are two moons, Elhane (The lady) and Ferus (the night) travelling the sky. The annual solstice (where Ferus overtakes and eclipses Elhane) was over two months ago.
It is 25th day of the "Winter" month, and while it is the last quarter of the Elhane at the moment, cloud cover makes it impossible to see her.
It is unimaginatively called Winter by the Empire despite the fact its the last of the months associated with winter. In five days it will be "Preparing" here in the dale.
The weather, when you arent wet, is brisk but manageable. There is snow in the shadows where you are, but mostly it has melted off at this point.
Look for a first post in the campaign thread sometime in the next three hours. Honestly, trying to weave this together via private messages didnt work out as seemless as I'd hoped. That's my fault. Definitely still reacquainting myself with the style and limitations. That and we had some extra work crop up at work because of Microsoft and their decision to implement a new feature for multi factor authentication. Im also getting accustomed to new progressive lens, which makes my keyboard look like Im in the matrix as I look back and forth between my two monitors.
With any luck we'll have much reason to come back to this thread after tonight
That's not really an effect of prestidigitation (otherwise, what would be the point of light?), but pending DM approval you might be able to make a lantern until the end of your next turn using the last bullet point. Not super useful, but more reliable for reading than lightning. I don't know though, it's not very well defined what a "trinket" is.

I just remembered that thunderwave (which Colm has prepared) automatically pushes unsecured objects 10 feet. That would be one of two spell slots gone, and it would emit a boom audible out to 300 feet (which I highly doubt is a desired effect), but it's an option for getting into the tower. Of course, it's your choice, Smoke, but I just thought I'd present the idea to you after realizing it.

We should probably also wait for Kasimyr to do something first.

If I haven’t offended you, don’t worry. I’m sure I’ll get to you eventually.

I hate to be the one to tell you this, but... wrong thread.

I had a private message with him early this morning, so I expect him to post some time today. If he doesnt by this evening I'll likely make some passive assumptions about his actions and try to move the rest of your stories along.
If you have tokens for your PCs now would be the time to share them. Here is one I put together for Kiana as an example. I used Heroforge, and then uploaded to imgur and linked here.

Sounds perfectly logical to me.

Logical... and then the people who submitted characters and don't know how to stop notifications can stop getting them.
