I've found an image that I think I'll use to represent Esseer however I'm having trouble actually inserting it into a post so should I just rely on text colour rather than having a picture?

 Yeah, that sounds fair. The thing is, I'm color-blind, so that won't help me much, but if it helps your fellow players we can live with it.

 Oh I'm really sorry to hear that, I didn't know! Are there any colours that you wouldn't struggle seeing as much that I could possibly use or would it be so much of a problem that I should try and fix the issues I'm having to add a picture? I'm happy to do what's easiest for you to DM with to allow the game to be as streamlined as possible.

Also I've made my character:

Name: Esseer Carascobble
Race: Yuan-Ti
Class: Cleric (Grave Domain)
Background: Outlander
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Ability Scores: 16 14 13 12 10 9 (Standard array with racial bonuses applied)

Esseer acts as the master of the tribes funerals and burials. He worships the god Kelemvor, and when the tribe settles, he often keeps to himself within a secluded area of the tribes territory when the dead are buried. His connection to the dead, his magic, and Yuan-Ti heritage often cause a few rumours and superstitions to crop up among the tribe, especially amongst the younger members who are less likely to have met him, but otherwise he is generally respected amongst the tribe. He isn't especially talkative, and looks much older than he really is. During the rare occasions the tribe is raided, Esseer prefers to heal and assist his allies from afar rather than take a front role in the fight, which mimics his lifestyle in a way.

What's the link you used? All I can find is the AI Chat not image generator.

 Unfortunately since I live in the UK, Gemini's image generator isn't available here, though I've found a few other generators online so I'll keep looking for one that works and has URLs that I can port to this forum, if not I'll have to use text in a colour that Nico can hopefully see. Thank you very much for the advice however, once the image generator becomes available over here I'll definitely use it :)

 It might be unavailable where you live as it hasn't been rolled out everywhere yet, I experienced a similar issue.

Gemini is back up? Neat. (Last I'd heard it was down after a social media scuffle.) Out of curiosity, does it have usage limits like other generators?

Here is the link: https://gemini.google.com/app

Just as you wrote that question, I can't generate more images. I must have generated around 15-20 just now. I had no idea there was a limit.

 Color will be fine. Perhaps blue? I'd just ask that we not have one person be red and another green, neither should we have one person be orange and another red, or one person blue and another purple.

Quote from Zajmad >>

Zaupu returns to camp, from hunting, carrying a 556lb elk. "I brought dinner, who is going to prepare the meal? I'm hungry!" Then he tosses the elk on the ground near the fire pit and takes a seat.

 Harbek (in a thick Scottish accent):

“I don’t normally prepare the meals around here, but I ‘ave prepared the drinks!” He says as he sets a keg of ale with a tap on it down onto the ground. “Now who’s thirsty?”

"I'll have a drink! Hunting always makes me thirsty!" Zaupu grabs a hollow steer horn and fills it with ale.

Esseer emerges from the gloom and draws closer to the fire. As he seats himself, he looks towards the elk and says in a soft yet imposing hiss, "I am no cook, however I shall bless the death of this creature as a worthy sacrifice for the tribe" He then mutters a few incantations and waves his hand over the carcass, before stating that "I am sure that Kelemvor shall guide this animals soul to the afterlife safely".

Zaupu looks around and sees that no one is going to cook the elk. Downs a couple more horns full of ale, then cuts a big slab of meat off the elk. He then seers each side of the slab briefly and starts to devour it. "If you guys are hungry, it looks like we are going to have to help ourselves today. Feel free to cut off as much as you want! I can always go get another! Hahaha!" Zaupu fills his horn with ale again to help wash down the meat and continues his meal

 Esseer narrows his eyes and scoffs at the sight of Zaupu eating the elk so, for lack of a better word, barbarically, but still precedes to help himself. "I shan't let such a majestic beast go to waste", he says, as he cuts off the leg of the elk and skins it in a few fluid movements. He then casts Thaumaturgy on the campfire, causing the flame to swell by twice the size and turn a vemon-purple colour. Holding the leg by the hoof, he then puts it directly into the fire for just a few seconds, before withdrawing it just as it becomes perfectly cooked. As the fire dies down, he reseats himself and marinades the leg with medicinal herbs and spice, before digging in. After he has finished, he stores the bones in the folds of his cloak, along with an antler, muttering, "Powdered bones make excellent ritual ingredients". 

Alright, everybody. I have started the thread for everyone to interact in the camp. I hope this doesn't too badly contradict previous character interactions in the original thread.

I'll give y'all some time to form smaller parties, and once you guys have decided what parties you want to adventure with, we'll start adding in other threads for specific quests, tasks, challenges, etc.
