1) I have, very briefly played this module and would like to get past the first dungeon. I have always loved Ravenloft and how dark it is with small bits of light. It looks like your players have just gotten past the first dungeon so I need not worry about replaying any parts or the game. I would be very excited to actually get further.

2) So originally, I played as a true neutral priestess of Shar but Shadowheart exists, so my idea now is a priestess of Hela or the Raven Queen and uses the Grave domain. Basically, she is utterly devoted to death and the idea of the end and that everything that is alive will someday die. The sort of person who isn't exactly 'good' until the undead start showing up and then she's adamant about putting them back in their graves.

3) Themes on life and death of course on someone so focused with death that she's forgotten to actually live. Also themes on a stoic and nearly unfeeling person who is normally used to only dealing with dead bodies actually having to interact with living breathing people.

"With each new child's birth we die in our hearts, truth black we know, death always returns."

As promised, I am closing the recruitment thread this week. I actually have three spots available, so I have settled on inviting @SenorDeebs, @WhiteDwarf, and @WhtKnt to my game. Everyone else who applied has been added to the waitlist, and I will send invites to the new players within the week. Thank you all for applying and happy gaming!

@DragonDweller62 - Thanks for the kind invite! Should we go ahead and roll characters in the Character Creation thread, or would you rather us wait for your queue to do that? Thanks again!
Hope everyone’s well today. :)
