Ok, I got back from overseas just a few days ago, and only just got a post in now.

To be fair, I have a really good excuse why it took me a while to post.

Anyway, I wanted to give an update:
- I've read through the old Salt in the Wound Part I thread, which is a spaghetti of complexity and unresolved characters and plot threads.  I've taken notes.
- I've yet to come up with an idea of how exactly to run Salt in the Wound Part II, though I've got some ideas forming from reading through Part I.
- Cameron may have some old material from Jihon that could help, but I'm not sure if he's managed to find it
- Cameron may be joining us for this battle
- We still need to drum up some members.

Could everyone please advise on if they have any recruitment ideas?  Are there any groups you're part of?  Do you have some old friends that might want to rejoin, or made new ones that might be keen?  Anyone owe you any favours in return for saving their life from a terrible mummy's curse?
If all of you could chime in, that would be appreciated.

Note that I think all new accounts need to be manually approved by me, so don't just ask someone to join - be sure that I get a heads up.  My email, as always, is meet_soul_reaver@hotmail.com.

Voted for Fallen Templar/Phaerys, my reasons basically mirroring what has already been mentioned :)

Thought I'd update everyone on what's going on:
I'm currently overseas after a bunch of really intense stuff all happening at once (big round of redundancies at work; house hunting; finishing my book).
At this stage I'm thinking we should recruit some more members and try for Salt in the Wound Part 2, as nobody else seems to be burning to host.
However, I can't really get started on even planning this until I'm back in about 3 weeks time.
I'd appreciate any help in drumming up potential new recruits in the meantime!

My vote was on Gulgrim as well. Shadow Chorus managed to strike a fine balance of writing an impulsive meathead who was tempered by some propa brutal kunnin'. A true master of Da Art of WAAAGH!

I kinda feel like Phaerys and Gulgrim may have at least a little bit in common, surprisingly - namely that both are driven by a highly singular purpose. Phaerys pursues knowledge, Gulgrim's after a good scrap. Could be fun to explore that sometime, methinks.

I also voted for Phaerys. It's always fun seeing a new character experience the party and find how they slot in, and the cold analysis always felt like a fun counterpoint to Gulgrim's wild haymaker of a personality.

I voted for Gulgrim.

His consistent Orkiness has been fun to experience.  And he always toes the line between being out of hand and reigned in enough to keep story beats progressing. 

I do want to note an honorable mention for Phaerys.  The concept for the character is wonderfully odd, wonderfully executed, and fits in very well with the rest of us misfits!

I'm going to vote for Fallen Templare / Phaerys.
I feel he's picked an interesting non-human character to play, and I like seeing the way his mind processes and approaches the situations he's faced with.  His powerset is also unusual and original, which is a big plus, and I think he's adapted well as a new player to the Board Battles.  I'm keen to see more of him!

As the newest player here, I can't quite see myself volunteering to host a story arc, I'm sorry to say.

A recruitment drive can't hurt to try, I suppose. Anywhere in mind you could ask around?

Phaerys, down on one knee as he finished the repairs to his leg, arose to his feet. He flexed the limb experimentally, satisfied that the joints were in proper working order for whatever lay before them on the road ahead.

He watched as Soul Reaver and Kitharsis both said their farewells to Jharm and shook the Seraph by the hand. Phaerys then approached Jharm and extended his own hand in kind, seemingly unaware as to the significance of the gesture.

"We accept that your purpose decrees that you remain here. You will serve your collective efficiently," he stated, very matter-of-factly yet the suit's translator seemed to convey a hint of earnestness. "There remains a non-zero possibility that we may meet again. I will greatly anticipate this."
