As mentioned in the recruiting If it's in the following Books it's fine by me so long as it is not a Psionic, Necromancer, or Assassin. I am running this in 2nd edition D&D, please no underdark races or evil characters though Neutral Evil may be allowed (potentially). Kits are fine as well but not required.

2nd Edition AD&D Players Handbook original & revised
Any complete book of or guide book/handbook to for races or classes. 
GreyHawk the Adventure Begins
GreyHawk Player's Guide
GreyHawk The Scarlet Brotherhood
The Planeswalker's Handbook

I will add that the module "suggests" one of each class which based on how old this module is most likely means a Fighter type, Cleric/Priest type, Wizard type and a Rogue type. Don't forget to start at 2nd level max your HP for first with Con bonus, for Stat rolling it's 4d6 drop the lowest and place in whatever order you wish. 

Starting Gear/Equipment: I give the following items out to every character for free so you do not need to purchase them with your starting money of 180gp that everyone gets.

1x Backpack
1x Bedroll
7 days Dry Rations
1x Waterskin
1x Small belt pouch
1x set of clothing includes a belt
1x dagger or knife with sheath

Question - looks like we need a cleric.  Are you okay with me using the Demihuman Deities book or do I need to use Monster Mythology?  

Edit:  The reason why I am asking is because I am thinking of making a dwarven cleric or elven cleric.

I made a Half-Orc cleric, you are of course welcome to make one as well! If you had your eye on something else...well Cleric on board!

Outstanding!  Is there a list of characters?  I have stats that would allow nearly any character.

Edit:  It looks like paladin, mage, and cleric, yes?  So, thief it is!

I would prefer you stick to GreyHawk deities the source you use is not a big deal to me.

Understood.  I am considering going to go with an elven mage/thief.  Tome of magic elemental specialty wizards okay to take?  Essentially they offer up these abilities:

SPOILER: Click to show

This AD&D specialist functioned much like its kin. The four elements of AD&D - Earth, Fire, Water and Air - were each treated as a distinctive sub-schools within an Elementalist school. As such, the first thing you did was pick which sub-school you specialized in; spells classified as belonging to the "rival" sub-school (Earth/Air, Water/Fire) were your prohibited spells, but otherwise you could learn any arcane spell. That said, you paid for this versatility with greater difficulties learning spells outside of your school; whilst you had a +25% chance to learn sub-school spells and a +15% chance to learn spells from the "adjacent" sub-schools, you suffered a -25% chance when trying to learn a spell that wasn't a member of the elemental school.



Other bonuses you gained from this specialization consisted of:



+2 bonus to saving throws against elemental spells from your sub-school.

Enemies take a -2 penalty to saving throws against elemental spells you cast that belong to your sub-school.

You gain 1 bonus spell memorization slot per level, although these bonus spell-slots must be filled with elemental spells from your sub-school.

Once per day, when casting a spell from your elemental sub-school, you can overcharge it, casting it with a level boost of +1d4.

When creating spells, if the spell is from your elemental sub-school, treat its level as being 1 level lower to determine the difficulty of its creation (for example, a Water Elementalist trying to create an ice or water version of Fireball finds it only as hard as trying to invent a new 2nd level spell, rather than its actual 3rd level status).

At 15th level, you don't need to concentrate in order to maintain control over summoned elementals from your sub-school.

At 20th level, you no longer need to fear summoned elementals from your sub-school turning on you when you conjure them.

[GreyWolfVT]

Yes that would be perfectly fine by me. I was only saying lets try to keep it in GreyHawk setting not mix in some Forgotten Realms or any of the other realms. As for mages that elementalist type is perfectly fine.

History:

Narya's magical aptitude was identified at an early age even before the naming rite. Because of this, she knew little of her parents as she was sent to the spellfilcher guild for training. Although beautiful, Narya was focused on guild matters and training instead of etiquette and charm. Her physical prowess and arcane abilities sky rocketed Narya past her peers. She continued to focus on her training and this distanced her from her peers. Her mentors noticed that Narya had a fiery temper that matched her hair color and her eldritch abilities followed suit. They have sent Narya on a mission to gather information in the area of Hommlet as they have heard rumors that need confirmation.

Thanks Margrave. I have revised the PC roster page/topic so the main post is just the current PC's with a brief summary namely AC, HP and that type of thing. If anyone wishes to post their character in the same format I "copied and pasted" of Daos's or how Margrave posted feel free to do so. Same with outside site character sheets if you wish to keep it there just post the link no need to hide it under spoilers.

Still sorting mine out...seems I get lazy in the afternoon lately. Should be up Saturday evening at the latest

Thief question...

Backstab...do you allow the 'sniper' rule like in 3.0/3.5 and other d20 systems meaning: a thief has successfully caught a character in a backstab situation and is within 30', a missile attack may be used and the die multiplied?  For my current character it means 2d6 instead of 1d6 for damage.
