I'm in a bit of a conflict with myself. I'm debating on the issue on whether to call my character Raye or Corrowyn. I was intending to call her Corrowyn in the sequel, but still use her outside name as Raye (since most people know her by that name anyways), but would that be too confusing? Perhaps I should do the same thing as I did in SoU; use her name Raye, but have those who are closest to her call her by her true name. I don't know....which way would be the least confusing for you guys?

This is how I wanted Raye/Corrowyn (heck, I'll just call her Raye for now) to start in the RPG:
Raye and Dimithil sit in a tavern in the small town. Dimithil tells Raye the rumors that a wounded elf has come from the mountains. Raye, who has been sensing danger, is curious about this elf, but does not intend to visit him; not until morning, at least. But then wargs attack the town at night...

That is just a thought, though I'd really like Raye to start off in a tavern, as it seems like a natural place for her to be.

I'm beginning to feel a bit frustrated that Helka has not responded to my PMs nor has shown any sign of coming to this thread. Where is he; I saw him post in another RPG, but that's about it. Even if Helka decides not to participate in the sequel, I still need Dimithil, for it is he who know Raye best (they've been traveling together for 18 years, after all). So, if Helka does not take part in this RPG, perhaps we could have someone else play Dimithil?

BTW, are we keeping this RPG open? I still think we need 2-4 more characters.

EDIT: Woohoo! 900 posts!
