History: It is not that Dirk goes looking for trouble, but rather that trouble always has a habit of finding him. Ever since he was a youngster, Dirk romanticized about the heroes of whom he had heard tales. He noticed that none of the heroes were halflings, so he set out to do just that. He devoted his youth to training with his blade and to study to be like Khelben Blackstaff and the Harpers. As a result, Dirk resides in Waterdeep and hopes he can make a name for himself so that he can join the Moonstars.
Rogue of Waterdeep arc: In his pursuit of greatness, Dirk made an enemy of Dougal the Black - a Zentarum thief who was sent to Waterdeep to spy of Blackstaff and the Moonstars. Dougal considers himself a master of disguise and hates Dirk for identifying him as a Zent while Dirk was training with the rogues' guild. Dougal has since vowed to make Dirk pay.

Alright folks. I work til 5pm tomorrow, unless I catch an early release. I’ll finish moving folks over to the roster, then let you know when you can post in the IC thread.
Super excited to get this one underway. The first bit of adventuring won’t require too much investment in a background or anything, but my intent is to wrap some backstory elements from you guys into the over arching plot. With that said, a small background with a hook or two would be grand! If you have it in you, the 10 minute background has always been something I found useful.
Background isn’t necessary, and really your character might grow on you and shift through the first arc. Change it up if you want.

Quick question...if I pick Rogue of Waterdeep kit, could I select a non bard skill like hide in shadows?

Just putting this out there. I chose manhunter kit and I am thinking I could say he is a local to make things work better even though it is not a waterdeep specific kit. If that is not approved then I'll go with being from Baldur's Gate or Luscan. I will work on thinking up a background even if it is not overly long.

Man hunter will work for being from Waterdeep. You could be from a family of line of bounty hunter types, developed that skill on the streets as a racket or something, or maybe this is your second or third attempt at passing selection.
Hide in Shadows doesn’t seem like it would be a broken addition to Bard.

A Bard that sings or tells you jokes, riddles & stories while hiding in the shadows no that sounds rather fitting and probably frustrating to the enemy. I'd say in the case of Targon he's only caught his first couple to a few bounties he's still trying to get on and yes he's failed selection at least once and it's just given him the drive to work harder at it and try again.

Work went long and I came home to a house with 4 flu sufferers! Sorry I didn’t get to start....I’ll move things over today when I get a moment. Barring that, we are ready to start.
My first post in Ch1 allows you all to possibly speak with each other, or wait for what happens next. You are at the front of the barracks, in a large group of hopefuls. Post away!

Should we wait until our characters are moved over to the roster first?

Nah, It should be fine. I’m just only able to make brief stops on the site right now. Don’t figure there is a reason to penalize you folks if we can get started

Alright. Everyone who signs will be given a watch Truncheon. It is the equivalent of a +1 club. It must be returned after each patrol and requisitioned before each patrol if you believe you require it.

I assume we will be given orders and be told where to go, correct?
