[4eD&D - RECRUITING] Keep on the Shadowfell

You and your long-time friends travel down the overgrown king's road in search of your long-time friend and mentor Dovuken, who took off in search of a dragon's burial ground near the town of Winterhaven. Where there's dragon, there's a hoard! His wife, a well-mannered but compulsive worrier is distressed at the lack of communication from him, and wishes you to make the week's venture and make sure he's alright.
An old scholar named Madaeus has also approached you, and asked you to map the Keep set up to the north of the town. For your trouble, he'll pay you 250gp, and more if you can gather any information on the history of the place while in the area.

Where is everyoooonnneeeee?
it's not easy for me to block out time for maptool or IRC typa things
Commit to a post a day, minimum.
And yes, I can post once per day.
Alright shoe, if you guys level up too quick then I'll have to fudge a daily power and a feat for you. You can retrain it as soon as the books come out.
I don't know what that means.
Edit: Ignore prior question. I have the Tiefling Warlord sheet.
Roll initiative.
yes.
And I found some real 2-nd level and 3-rd level stuff, so if you guys breeze through this and hit second level before June first, then you'll be covered.
And yeah guys, roll initiative, and post your first combat action, along with roll. You're up against kobolds. We'll drop into this 'en medias res' if that's alright.
Is there going to be an IC thread? I'll just roll with it for now.
Initiative (1d20 4=19)
Careful Attack (1d20 10=26), Damage (1d10 4=7)
Initiative: 1d20 2=21
Holding off on the tactical stuff for now:
Melee Attack: 1d20 6=24, Damage: 1d8 3=4
Initiative (1d20 1=9)
Cleave (1d20 6=19, 2d6 3=7)
Adjacent enemy takes 3 damage.
You can have projectmayhem's spot as the wizard.
EDIT: Also guys, sorry it's exam time and I'm getting crushed harder than I thought. But, if you want to make your own char, feel free.

How 'bout them Exploits...
Hit and Run
Sometimes, Riardon has better things to do than stand in front of a dude
and just let him attack. He can put down a wicked strike with his scimitar
and then just glide back, all cool like.
At will - Standard Action - Melee Weapon
Targets one creature, +5 vs AC
Hit: 1d8+3 damage (scimitar)
Effect: When Riardon moves in the same turn after this attack, leaving
the first square adjacent to his target doesn't provoke an AoO from
that target. Target all just stands there, looking dumb.
Twin Strike
So awesome he did it twice.
At will - Standard Action - Melee or Ranged Weapon
Targets one creature, +5 vs. AC
Hit: 1d8 damage per attack (scimitar), 1d10 damage per attack (bow)
Evasive Strike
Riardon moves like a butterfly, stings like a bee.
Per Encounter - Standard Action - Melee or Ranged Weapon
Targets one creature, +5 vs. AC
Special: Riardon can shift 2 squares before or after this attack.
Hit: 2d8+3 damage (scimitar) or 2d10+3 (longbow)
Fey Step
Riardon minces from one location to another. Faaaabulous!
Per Encounter - Move Action - Personal
Effect: Riardon can Teleport up to 5 squares.
Look at this Goddamn Bear Trap
Ever had someone stick an arrow in your knee or hack up your hamstring
with a scimitar? Yeah, neither has Riardon. But he does that shit to dudes
all the time and dang if that don't look like it hurts somethin' bad.
Per Day - Standard Action - Melee or Ranged Weapon
Targets one creature, +5 vs. AC
Hit: 2d8+3 damage (scimitar) or 2d10+3 (longbow), and the target is
slowed and takes ongoing 5 damage (save ends both).
Miss: Half damage, no ongoing damage, and the target is slowed until
the end of your next turn.
You missed the copy on fey step.
Also, two scimitars? /me scratches off all loot for Riardon.
i just kept going 'goddamnit why do scimitars have to be so good for TWF'
then i decided i was okay with it
because scimitars are gay
and he is eladrin
Fair play.
Expect any loot you get to be color coordinated and fabulous.
I'm talking Village People style.
so i don't you dare put that jewel-encrusted stuff in there; it makes me look cheap.
I'll go work out the kinks of my new Human Wizard
How can I make something that looks like this? Not character wise, just format wise?
Life is hell until Friday morning.
Have your characters posted by then.

Viper's Strike
It looks like the tiefling's attack has done nothing, and then you realize he's given you--and him--the perfect opening to strike.
At will - Standard Action - Melee Weapon
Targets one creature, +6 vs AC
Hit: 1d8+3 damage (longsword)
Effect: If the target shifts before the start of Iados' next turn, it provokes an opportunity attack from an ally of your choice.
Wolf Pack Tactics
The kobold looked around and realized two things: the adventurers were slowly closing in even as the tiefling raised his sword, and he had not prayed to Kurtulmak in a very long time.
At will - Standard Action - Melee Weapon
Targets one creature, +6 vs. AC
Special: Before you attack, you let one ally adjacent to either you or the target shift one square as a free action.
Hit: 1d8+3 damage (longsword)
Infernal Wrath
There are very few people who like Iados when he is angry. This is because there are few people who have survived seeing Iados angry.
Per Encounter - Minor Action - Personal
Effect: You can channel your fury to gain a +1 power bonus to your next attack roll against an enemy that hit you since last turn. If your attack hits and deals damage, add an extra 1 damage.
Leaf on the Wind
When Iados tells you to move, you move.
Per Encounter - Standard Action - Melee weapon
Target: One creature
Attack: +6 vs. AC
Hit: 2d8+3 damage. You or an ally adjacent to the target swaps places with the target.
Lead the Attack
He may be a monster, but he's your monster.
Per Day - Standard Action - Melee Weapon
Targets one creature, +6 vs. AC
Hit: 3d8+3 damage. Until the end of the encounter, you and each ally within 5 squares of you gain a +5 bonus to attack rolls against the target.
Miss: Until the end of the encounter, you and each ally within 5 squares of you gain a +1 bonus to attack rolls against the target.
EDIT, sorry Goose, thought that was your Ranger. Ah well if there is still room I would love a spot Legionnaired.

Role player/DM details
Carter Kuranes was raised in a wealthy southern city. Precocious and intelligent, he showed both magical and mechanical aptitude at a young age. Magic was considered a noble profession in his city. His parents worked hard to get him accepted as an apprentice to a well known arcane teacher.
His mentor was often called to entertain the decadent royals and merchants of the south. Kuranes learned not only magic but also the
mundane illusions of stagecraft. He studied rituals and clockworks, spells and slight of hand.
Due to political upheaval in his city, he was left without employment or friends.
He has traveled north to seek knowledge and coin. He tries to blend in despite his upper class manners and tastes.
special skills?
And what do you mean play by post? On the forums? Does this mean there is no designated time to get together and play? Everyone has to post in initiative order? So if one guy bails because he's going to see a movie the next person has to wait a few hours before getting his turn to post?
Play by post means on the forums, and yes, no set time. Generally for non-combat scenarios, you can post in any order you'd like (though I don't know how it's being handled specifically in this game), and combat posts follow initiative.
So I suppose that's a yes, a sort of, and another yes.
Viper Strike, etc.

And what happens in battle if the DM needs to react to something you did during combat? Battles are dynamic between PCs and monsters. Do you make your first attack against the monster... and then wait for the DM to make a post saying "Oookay.. *makes fortitude save*. The goblin is not confused.. or whatever. Make your next attack." And then you make a post with your second attack. And the DM might need to make a post along the lines of "Wait wait wait. Hold on. Rewind your entire attack back to when you were running at the monster. As it turns out you tripped a wire and fell through a pit." It seems unwieldy. But I guess I've never experienced it on the forums so for all I know it could be smooth as butter.
If your referring to me, count me out. I am in Legionnaired's other game and dont want to keep anyone away from the joys of gaming.
To be honest, combat in these is often times an unwieldy beast. However, all of your concerns are usually handled differently from DM to DM, so you'd have to check with Legion.
