Alright I got part of my story set up now here are my rules, only a few. 1. Respect the DM and other players, 2. Anything that is too crazy will not be done unless you get a 20 or higher on the roll, 3. If you act out what you want to do well you get a bonus to it by +2 or higher, 4. Sucking up to the DM is not encouraged but will be allowed and might get you something good or bad, 5. Have fun and enjoy the game. So you all will be playing as the group know as the Stahlarm Heroes which translates from German to Steel Arm Heroes, PM me your character for the game, preferably 3.5 version to make it easier on me. This discussion is for the story only and what is happening during it, PLEASE DO NOT ASK QUESTIONS ON THIS DISCUSSION! I will be on and updating the plot and certain smaller things from 2PM - 4PM CST for weekdays on weekends it would be about 11PM - 5PM CST, with questions or requests for me to be on earlier or later should be PMed to me and I will get on them as soon as possible.

And now to start us off, before you post here wait till i set my little closed/open meter says open (CLOSED/OPEN).

The players all find themsleves in a tavern sitting at the same table, sitting
on the table before them is a letter from the crow prince of the land Prince
Zerarem. It reads "Dearest Stahlarm Heroes, I have called you all here together to
help our land in it's greatest time of need, an epic dragon has taken up
resendence in our land and reacks havoic on the kingdom. If you decide to take
the tast I will reward you with whatever your heart desirers. Choose not and you
will be outlawed in the land with high prices on your heads. You must go north
Honig to the Mount of Stahl where it as taken resendence. The beast has been
weakned by all of the royal army, but the beast has taken out all of the brave
souls that faced it meaning you have no back-up. May the gods help you. Crown
Prince Zerarem."

(ok since i can not get any other program and i am ready to start and other players are as well we shall play on here. Ok? ok, I will say what roll im in when speaking so no one is confused.)
DM: You find yourselves in a tavern sitting around a table. A bar maiden comes up to you and asks
Bar maiden:Can I get you anything to drink?

I look at the letter, and cover it as well as possible with my hands. I think for a few seconds before answering the bar maiden. "I'll have the local favorite," I say calmly while looking around at everyone else sitting at the table.

(Also, although Eik995 can't get IRC to work, I set up #stahlarm if anyone wants to discuss the game there)

Bar maiden: The draconic flame? Alright be careful though it is not for the weak of stomach.

As inconspiciously as possible, I want to make an Insight check on the bar maiden. Is she a gnome hiding under an illusion?

(Sorry to be paranoid, but this just happened in another campaign)

DM: You can tell she is a elven bar maiden, and at that a quite beautiful. Her eyes look as is oceans and flowing blond hair.
Bar maiden: Is there anything I can get you sir?
(No problem, I can see why :P)

I finish observing the others at the table, and begin to look around at the tavern walls, and the people on the next table, while waiting for my drink.

(I think that would be several Insight checks, and an activity post to show I'm still paying attention but don't have anything to say)

Me: Since no one else has anything else to say I'll just help continue the plot.
DM: Seeing that the others did not want anything from their silence the bar maiden bowed and left to get the drinks.

Waking up from my thoughts, realizing that the barmaid left already, I sigh: "A dire task... but a chance to prove our fate is a mighty one"
