Hi there! I'm looking for at least 3 players! Maybe 4 player max. Lets start at level 2 so we don't need to worry about leveling up for a while.
No class/race restriction but please tell me what your specific feature/spell do otherwise I might miss stuff. You may only use *standard array* or *point buy* for stats generation (to keep things a little bit balanced between player).
I'd like to try using the Greyhawk Initiative. If you are unfamiliar with it, essentially each round you decide on your actions first, then all actions taken by all combatant will be executed simultenously depending on the action speed (attacking with dagger is faster than swinging a greataxe for example). I've tried it with friends and it can make simple battle dramatic. I'm open to suggestion.
*About the Adventure*
This is the first chapter of Defiance in Phlan. A compilation of short adventures for very low level characters.
*And Now the Story Begins*
After a long way of travel, your band of adventurers finally reach Phlan, the bustling port city north from Moonsea. Its only mid-day, but tiredness force you and your friends to check the Inn early.
Inside, a person dressed in a dark-green cloak and hood sits behind a table large enough to sit your party around. The inn looks strangely empty at this hour.
"Hello"
A man's voice coming from the hooded person. The man address you without moving his hood.
"A weary band of traveler. Luckily, I have some job you can do later this night, after you all take a good afternoon rest, interested?"
I might be in for this, what are we looking at for stats (standard array, rolling, point buy, some other crazy scheme?), any class and race restrictions?
Equipment: Leather Armor, Long Bow, 20 Arrrows, Longsword, Shield, Two Hand axes, Explorer Pack.
Gold: 20 (from background)
Class Features: Fighting Style, Second Wind, Action Surge.
Fighting Style: Protection.
Background: Urban Bounty Hunter.
Born in a small, poor, but humble family, Aeryn found out that if given the opportunity he would go out in a thousand adventures just to make his family proud of him, but not only that, he also wishes to provide enough gold to his family, that way they can have the kind of luxuries they could never have before. This is why Aeryn decided to grab his father's shield and sword to go out, trying to find jobs that could lead on different kinds of adventures, that way he could explore a world unknown to him outside the city walls and win some gold for himself and his family. He was trained as a child by his father who was, in the past, a simple guard in the local city. Aeryn's fathers are still alive, always waiting for him to return back home. (a simple character designed to fit in any campaing/world/etc).
Hi! I'm very interested in joining this... I tried running my own PbP experiment using the Greyhawk Initiative, but my buddy got busy and we couldn't see it through.
I have an air genasi rogue I'd like to throw into the mix. I'll update this post with character details as I get them. Thanks!

Whisper, Air Genasi Rogue.
Stats Standard Array: STR 08, DEX 16, CON 12, INT 14, WIS 12, CHA 13.
"This isn't suspicious at all" Says out loud Aeryn as he takes a seat looking at the stranger. He's wearing common dark gray clothes under a very tight looking Leather Armor.
Whisper raises an eyebrow, "I seek things. They are useful when I seek - more often than not. That's all you need to know about me," then, with a smile, "unrelated to business, of course."
"I'm sure that whatever task you need done, we can see it through for you." After a pause, "This is when I discuss price, but these three ask I stop jumping straight to negotiations."
Whisper reclines back, hands behind his head and continues to smile.
"let him hide if he wishes to hide" A small women stands in corner, covered in white priest like robes the goblin's face was well kept for her kind with brown hair and teeth slightly less pointed, her voice light and gentle "anyway what do you propose"

Klara sat down next to her companions and pulled her hood down to reveal her light brown hair and blue eyes fully. Her face was dirty, not as if she was unhygienic but rather from the long journey the group had just finished. She nodded along to Whispers questioning, and to Aeryn's request for transparency as she began fishing something out of her bag, a few moments later her hand emerged with a set of playing cards. She released them from their binding and began passing them out to her companions.
"Should I deal you in?" she said gruffly to the mysterious man
After listening to Aeryn, you can see the man smiles behind his hood.
"A fine proposal"
He lowers his hood, revealing a middle-aged man with gray lines on his black hair, and few small scars on his face. His beard is shaven, but only roughly, it's as if he spend only few times in civilized areas.
"I'm Armon, a Harper. Surely you've heard of us"
He turns to Klara.
"I respect your offer but I think I've spent too much time outdoors that I can't remember how to play the game"
"Anyway"
"Lately, we Harpers heard of a mysterious group selling Dragon Eggs to shady buyers, with vile intentions. We managed to find about a transaction that will happen this midnight. My task to you is simple"
He drew a small feather from his pouch, and a small bag full of coins.
"This is a Feather of Tracking. We will need you to EITHER put this feather on The Seller's clothes, so we Harpers can track him, OR retrieve us the Dragon Egg from The Buyer, so we Harpers can look closer into it. There's no question both of them will bring their own respectable bodyguards"
"Ah, also. I suggest you only do one of either, doing both will possibly cause too much commotion. We don't want them to go alert"
He took the coin bag and show you silver coins inside.
"This is what you'll get later for your trouble. 300 silver coins"
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"Damn" Aeryn whispers, "I thought you were some kind of shady drug dealer, but now, you're talking about some really serious business, ¿a dragon egg? I don't know, sounds kind of dangerous for only 300 silver". Aeryn obviously tried to persuade the harper to raise the reward. Persuasion: 14.

Klara nodded to the man's comments and continued to deal the rest of the cards to her companions. She began to think back in her memory on what she knew specifically about the Harpers. (OOC: History check to see what all Klara might know about the Harpers 18)

Hi there, nice to meet you guys. To keep things simple for stats you may use standard array or point buy. I'll update the original post.
Edit: no class/race restriction.
Hi guys! This is my character:
I would like to join, do you need something else apart from stats?

Tell me if you need something more.

As you gather inside, you sit in a large round table with the hooded man. He looks at each of you for a second before continuing with the talk.
"Interesting band of adventurers. Before we go on the business. May you kindly share the tale of your journey?"
"This isn't suspicious at all" Says out loud Aeryn as he takes a seat looking at the stranger. He's wearing common dark gray clothes under a very tight looking Leather Armor.

"You should show your face if you want us to work for you, don't you think?". Says Aeryn as his partner reclines back.
