Updated to level 2:

On the outskirts of Eastwych, Arobash was raised by some local farmers as if he were their own. Although, with both of his caregivers being human, it was quite clear to everyone involved that Arobash was adopted. This was a fact that bothered Arobash so little that he never even thought to ask his foster parents about the true nature of his birth, for his farm was relatively isolated and that isolation protected him from the cruelties that could otherwsie befall a child of his heritage. After leaving the confines of the known, Arobash quickly learned just how protected he was in his youth.
Arobash moved to the city with the intention of making it big and being able to shower his family with the riches they deserved. Although he intended to make his way in life with the utmost of honor, the harsh realities of city-life, combined with his unwelcomed heritage proved to be too much of a challenge. Arobash expected his hardy physical nature would be perfect for dock work, however his employment opportunities were far more limited than he had ever imagined, and he instead found his place in a group of ruffians and cutthroats that earned their money in a much less pleasant manner.
Arobash's time within the gang was far from a highlight of his life, but the money was more than able to help his parents with their failing farm, and he developed some very real friendships with his other recruits. In spite of his attempts to believe that the positives outweighed the negatives, he was very grateful to live to see the end of his short career as a ruffian. The end of that career came at the hands of one poorly chosen mark that would forever change Arobash's fate.
During what seemed to be an otherwise routine mugging, Arobash's gang found themselves completely outmatched by an unarmed simpleton. Arobash was lucky to count himself in the number that only received a mere beatdown, some of the others received a much more final retribution. Yet Arobash and some of the other perhaps more foolish ruffians did not find shame in defeat, instead they found admiration in the form of the man that had so readily, and easily put them in their place. As awe-struck as possible, Arobash and two of his closest friends clumsily stalked the stranger, until they finally found their new beginnings in his home.
Upon reaching the monastery, the trio were quickly, and strangely welcomed as new recruits to the monastic order. They were trained by the very man that they sought to rob. As impressed as they were by their new master's skills, none even thought to consider rejecting the offer for none felt it was a mere offer at all - to them, learning to fight with that degree of talent was a dream come true.
The training was much more cerebral than physical, something that Arobash considered highly unusual, yet he found no fault in it. His entire life, he had followed blindly, and his monastic training was no exception. Arobash's unquestioning devotion to his training led to a relatively short training period, and upon his initiation as a brother of the order, he finally learned why he had been welcomed after such an antagonistic first impression.
Arobash's order was dying. He and his fellow initiates were the first new recruits in years, and simple attrition was proving to be the greatest enemy to their lifestyle. The youth of today were simply far too interested in violence to be willing to devote themselves to the cerebral lifestyle of the monks. Arobash felt some shame in his own former tendency to prefer the physical, but he could see the wisdom in his own recruitment. His first mission as a monk was the first of his instructions which he had ever understood without clarification from his superiors: he was to earn renknown as an adventurer, in order to demonstrate, and place an emphasis on, the physical virtues of the monastic way of life. The goal was to earn new initiates in much the same manner as Arobash himself had been recruited. Arobash possessed, yet withheld his reservations about his new charge, as in retrospect, he himself had enjoyed his meditative training to a much higher degree than he ever did the physical. Teaching him the strengths of the mind within, and then asking him to project his thuggish physical, seemed not only contrary to his teachings, but moderately cruel.
In spite of his reservations, Arobash turned to his new duty with as much enthusiasm as he could muster. He ventured to the notorious depths of the Forest of Hope and earned some renkown by performing some minor services for the townfolk of Zelkor's Ferry. There Arobash would have remained if he had not received notice from his parents about the troubles surrounding their farm. It was that notice which reminded Arobash of his former commitment to them and the neglect they had endured during his training at the monastery. Temporarily throwing his duties as an adventurer aside, Arobash returned to his home with many a gold piece in hand. After once again returning his family to stability, he has again found himself passage to Zelkor's Ferry where his life as an adventurer will continue.

Roll 20 and SKYPE. One or two of our group seems to always have sound issues with the Roll 20 system, so we use SKYPE.

Thanks! Any info on where to join up? I haven't used roll20 before, any chance I can watch and listen for the first week without saying or doing anything, to get an idea of how it works? I have a skype account, although I haven't used it in forever, and a good headset with mic. Working on a character now. I have been trying to find a game I like and players to play on roll20 for a while.

On another note, I see Mhoram and Prothall represented. I wonder if there is room for a Bannor...and what class would a Bloodguard fall into? Martial abilities, no armor, no magic...

Hello there Scitzz, and welcome to the game! You can listen in if you want, or join us for our next game this Sat. night starting at 9 pm Eastern. I will pm you my SKYPE address so that you can contact me before the game.

To answer your question about the Bloodguard, I have no clue what that is, but it sounds like you might be wanting to play a monk.

Apparently Bannor, Mhoram and Prothall are also characters in those "Thomas Covenant" books, and a Bloodguard is a thing from there too.

Correct, and a bloodguard would closest be a monk. I think however I will be a Half Elf Ranger. Climbing could be useful.

Family has been sick, scrambling to build a character but if it is too late to jump in when I finish, I will be happy to listen, watch, learn, and get a feel for the way Roll20 etc works and be ready for next week.

[alcyone]

Hope you can play, we need more people for the Shield Wall!

[Scitzz]

I had a blast! Can't wait for next week!

Burn, baby burn!

[Giant2005]

I can't wait either. I can't believe I thought the Ogre Mage was going to do us in. In the end, our spider chase scene was much scarier.

[Scitzz]

I mean, we did turn tail and run.

[Kayolan]

[alcyone]

Let's just run Swords and Wizardry!

Hardcore, but I don't mind, my main adjustment from the above is that I won't have the advantage that allows me to swap my cleric spells for cure spells. Since I rarely needed a cure spell yet, I am not sure how bad that is. I don't necessarily agree that the challenges are too easy: I think we've been tactically smart (well, sometimes) and very lucky, and Rappan Athuk itself will be much worse than what we encountered in the environs of Zelkor's Ferry. But even if that's true, I don't mind if the difficulty level shifts. I expected RA to be hard/impossible.

I intend to continue playing my character, Egar. I'll get into Roll20 and make the adjustments. (adjustments made..)
