LOL! I got up to Velious (did I spell that right?), but I apparently hadn't explored the entire area as Black found out when he went back to visit for that strange panda in Sundered who likes to live vicariously and give out free goodies.
You have to be lvl 20 (I believe) before the chronomages will even talk to you...those stuck up SOBs! Black is 90...95?...whatever was max at the time. He has a fab house in Maj'Dul that he needs to finish decorating. He has stuff I don't even remember him getting. LOL!
The list of characters:
Blacksorrow, Sarnak, Shadowknight, 90 (looked it up), large house in Maj'Dul (lvl 90 weaponsmith).
Lincinius Rattus, Esq (current leader of the group), Ratonga, Troub, 22, Inn room at the Jade Tiger (only using the one room, but it has 3 floors...thinking he may have to expand into the second room for crafting and music....) and has a Rum Runner Island that he shares with Akobar and Tuftler (altho' that gnome is already getting on his nerves with all the explosions). Furniture Maker Extrodinaire.
Praeld Eisherz, Barbarian, Monk, 25, Currently only has a one-room place in New Halas and hasn't really done much in the way of home decor. just uses it for storage until he gets around to buying one of large New Halas homes. He also has his Everfrost Hall that's a bit of a fixer upper to make it more appropriate to display the trophies of his exploits...he may be a monk, but he's still a barbarian! He has an estate in Mistmoor, but it's a bit too fancy for his tastes and it didn't actually take much fast talk by Lin to convince him to let the Rat Pack use it as the central hub of the housing portal network...a Grand Portal Station (in construction). Has his eyes on a couple other places, but hasn't decided on anything firm just yet. Likes to create the latest fashions tailored specifically to each individual.
Feydruatha, Freeblood, Assassin, 25, Currently has two room place in Neriak, but has recently put in offer in on a larger place with a view of his goal home, the Darklight Palace itself! He also has plans for creating a Grand Mausoleum in Mistmoor and creating a memorial to himself in Everfrost. He recently purchased the Estate of Unrest (the un-predecorated one since he thought the previous interior designer was nothing but a scam artist). He was sold on the estate as a fixer upper when he bought it...and was so ecstatic when he discovered a secret obuliette he cracked a smile. Not open to visitors just yet, still got a lot of decorating to do...and need to find that malfunctioning soldierbot that escaped from the dungeon... Potions maker, although his not-so-secret ambition is Defense Against the Dark Arts, but his addiction to Spice has been keeping him down. (And, yes, I am so mixing up my pop culture references)
Victorio, Halfling, Warder, 20, and every inch a hobbit. He's a bit of a prankster and plans to create a funhouse in Kelethin because those uptight fayfolk just need to learn how to have fun. But he also likes his creature comforts and is developing his island vale home into a retreat from his adventuring life with plans for several grottoes with different themes. And true to form, he's Master Chef to the Pack.
Akobar, Sarnak, Channeler, 22. Very stoic and practical as every Sarnak should be. Believes he is living in the shadow of his progenitor, Blacksorrow, even though Black has little to do with him believing he is more than capable of making his own way in the world. Makes his home in Gorowyn and has his eyes on a couple of pieces of real estate besides Mistmoor and Everfrost. Loves carving wood into functional weapons, especially arrows which he goes though by the wagon load.
Tuftler, Gnome, Wizard, 17. Newest member of the pack. He inherited a lot of Tinker Toys from his retired uncle and has been gleefully setting up his Workshop in Queynos. He has also convinced Lin to let him develop a couple of the small offshore islands at the back of the main island into prime gnome real estate. He's also has a notebook full of ideas on creating Everfrost and Mistmoor workshops with their unique environmental qualities and local flora/fauna. He's got his eyes on a tinkerer island as well. Researching and tinkering, tinkering and researching...those are his main goals in life. He can cobble you together a pair of gnome boots or scribe out a spell scroll for ya...just don't expect too much yet. Lots of stuff going on in his head, more than he can get onto paper at the moment.
And that there is the Rat Pack in its current form. Most deaths are the result of doing something stupid...like running off cliffs or having a giant mole creature sneak up from behind...sometimes they are the result of the puppetmaster going afk in the middle of a battle...a merc would help there.
Online now, but don't know how long I'll last. Eyes are already drooping. Goal is to last long enough to check everyone's research and get my loyalty coins.
See ya around the Claymore.
