Vilith Dynesef Rogue/Wizard/Arcane Archer Chaotic Neutral Elf Archer/Warrior/Ambusher (Elven Commando?) (Bow/Swords/Traps) level 29 (Heroic?)
Zach Aers Fighter/Wizard/PM Neutral Evil Sword/Shield (Don't expect great combat prowess, catastrophe of a build) (Reclusive wizard-in-hiding seeking lich-dom) level 30 (Definitely a Villian)
Zandeyr Arroway Rogue/Fighter/Assassin Neutral Evil Half Elf Sell Sword/ Bow (Dual Short Swords/ Bow) level 22 (Anithero)
Quin Keneset Cleric/Black Guard Neutral Evil Human Champion of Loviatar (Will keep you alive so you may suffer further) level 24 (Antihero)
I know, I hate playing lower level characters, I'll be making a new character soon though

Vilith Dynesef Rogue/Wizard/Arcane Archer Chaotic Neutral Elf Archer/Warrior/Ambusher (Elven Commando?) (Bow/Swords/Traps) level 29 (Heroic?) Got it. Zach and Lilibeza did seem to get along pretty well, didn't they? Does he have any kind of personality, cause or motivation worth noting, something which might attract other adventurers to him? I don't mind jotting that in somewhere. You're sure about Quin being antiheroic (and thus, justified and/or redeemable in some way or other), though? I used to play Tristella d'Flagellad, a rather similar Fighter/Blackguard of Loviatar on the old Thay server...specialized in the whip, of all things. And Tristella and I took advantage of Thay's capture-and-enslavement system by capturing random humanoids — robbers, goblins, minotaurs, whatever — and then dragging them back to Loviatar's Manor in Bezantur, planting them in front of Loviatar's altar, flogging them within an inch of their life, healing them back up again, flogging them to Near Death again, healing them to Uninjured again...repeat until either A) Tristella runs out of healing kits and leaves the "offering" to expire in agony, or B) Tristella lands a Critical Hit at the worst time and accidentally kills the captive, despite my best intentions. Eavesdropping DMs would sometimes give her XP for doing that, or maybe even a fresh healing kit or two. She was most certainly villainous, though. And I thought I liked playing Evil characters for a change of pace! You've got me beat. Or you might be so far extreme that you play Good characters for a change of pace, huh? Ah, now, no pressure! No one but you yourself can decide which characters and which Levels suit your style best. That said, in my experience it is better to have a wide spread of characters and Levels, just because you never can tell which caliber the next pick-up party's going to be. I'll grow a high-level character on this server one day. Promise.

Zach is by far pretty easy going. He knows he cannot be an evil wizard seeking power and let everyone know. This also causes him to not wish to make enemies. His experimenting is done mostly alone unless with an evil peer.
I suppose Quin could be Villainous, I just sorta generally group BG as the anti paladin and therefore the anti-esque hero. I don’t see him as the one pulling major strings in a plot, but rather being one of the strings or assets.
Zan is a typical mercenary, essentially. He works for whoever wishes to pay him the most, with little regard for what is considered “right.” Granted, this does not translate to blind greed. If working for a powerful wizard he would not simple swap to a competitor even if he paid more. Not wanting to get fireballed to death is much more appealing.
If both Zach and Zan were NPCs I could see Zan working for Zach, attempting to collect items of knowledge and power like a pawn in a larger plot.

Maralah and Shavaiana went adventuring today.
Shavi, being some kind of Fighter-Rogue, was the designated heavy-hitter of the two, while Maralah was mostly the back-up: Flanking attacks (in some form or another), healing, and buffing on occasion, a la the depicted Spell Resistance (so that Shavi wouldn't get blasted so much by all the bugbear shamans). One time, Maralah jumped in the middle of three harpies and kept them busy until Shavi could recover from getting Feared and Charmed by said harpies, but mostly it was Shavi doing the heavy lifting, credit where it's due. (Besides, Shavi got to return the harpy-distracting favor by getting in the middle of four Winter Wolves after Maralah ran up to lay her Empathy on one of them, and the wolves Cold-breath-weaponed the snot out of Maralah because I forgot to shift her to her White Wyrmling form first. My bad. ) So where are all you other players, anyway? We could be staging some serious pick-up parties with this thread!

Zedorya Flamedance just moved up a bracket.
...and then I gave her a different head with a different hairstyle that suits her Portrait and a smile that actually fits her Description because what was I thinking?

So you all meet around a table at the Red Roof Hin...
...because all good adventuring parties start in a tavern, right?
Adventure time in progress. Jump in with your lowbies if you can!

And so it came to pass that many goblins were laid low in the course of that adventure, and many treasures were reclaimed from their skulking paws. And lo, did the semi-predictable "Lawful Good Paladin versus Chaotic Good Bard" argument come up when Zedorya mentioned "liberating" her Glittering Necklace from the Zhentarim's crates in Llorkh's outskirts. "Stealing is bad!" "The Zhentarim have done far worse than mere thievery! I did the world a favor, depriving those jackals of this light source." "Virtue is its own reward!" "So is this magic necklace, my friend."
But as it is with so much else, every adventure must come to an end.
See you next time, Crow?
(And really, y'all should jump in too! )

*adds Viora Saint Alarice to the list*
I may retire Rubella Thrusher soon. I already played a Talontar beggar on the Cormyr server, and now that I have both Kokar (in the Tuesday Night party) and Viora, I'm a bit Clericked out. It's tempting to retire Orna too, but breaking into homes in Llorkh with her is so much fun!

If Sheela Peryroyl is the halflings' de facto Goddess of Life, and Kelemvor is the God of Death, then wouldn't that make Sigrid Hedgemouse and Viora Saint Alarice a very odd couple indeed? (Thanks for another enjoyable outing, Crow. )

It's Falteine's turn to bump up a bracket. And Justaine's long overdue to get a spot on this list.

Now Orna Siltelis is bumped up a bracket. Also, Hallie and Zedorya are joining forces again, so log on already!

...and the server crashed somewhere between our fight with twig blights and our fight with yet more Axebite orcs. Bummer.

And after a good, long while, Lilibeza finally moves up in the world, learning another one of Bigby's fool-smacking hand spells in the process. 8) EDIT: Maralah just moved up in the world too. Now she can shapeshift into a baby mini-dragon whenever she wants!
