Subject: A curious fellowship, this.
"Keep that hound from my elbows!"
Dak couldn't help but chuckle at Pyrus' frenetic humor. Shaking his head a bit, he tipped his tankard again and reached under the table to pat Dog's head.
"So," the little foxkin said through a mouthful of bread and honey, "has anyone heard of this mysterious Lord Brown? He's not familiar to these ears."
"No," Alex answered first, after swallowing a mouthful of his own beverage, "I can't say I know of Lord Brown, Though he sure was busy rounding us all up and very good at hiding his tracks. I wonder what he is waiting on, or if there are still more people."
Dak shrugged; "Today is the first I've heard of Lord Brown, at least as far as I can recall." He leaned back in his seat again and allowed his eyes to track, yet again, around the bar as he continued; "And, mellon Alex, I imagine, judging by the number of chairs left our table, that we await at least one more guest to this party before our mysterious benefactor shows himself."

"I, uh, find people."
Across the table, Pyrus huffed in amusement. "Have that dog of yours sniff them out, do you?" she quipped.
Dak blinked at the little foxkin, and then smiled a little. "No, she mostly just tags along. Doesn't often do much beyond provide company and, every once and again, gets a nip of an ankle or elbow," he winked, "She's gotten pretty fair at playing fetch, too."

Subject: H'lo! :D
Answer to your first question: Indeed I do, indeed I do! In fact, was a day when any newbie type would stop by and post in the Comings and Goings section, they'd get one of these:
And as to question the second: I typically use the "Grey Company" Elvish dictionary and phrasebook. You can grab a copy from right here, in fact. 
If it'll make it easier, I can include translations in post from here on out - either in parentheses alongside the elvish words or in OOC comments at the end of posts.

Topic: Vigilante
Subject: Chitty chat
Over the rim of his tankard, Dak Whisperfoot's eyes scanned a slow circuit around the place, travelling the length of the bar, past the band and the bedraggled dancer, skimming by the crowd that was enthusiastically gathered about the table where the arm wrestling competition continued into yet another round, and skipping from table to table thereafter. He leaned back a bit in his chair as his gaze completed that circuit, swallowed the mouthful of cider, and rested his tankard on the table before him. He had only been vaguely paying attention to the chatter at his own table in these past seconds as it consisted mainly of his new compatriots' orders for the tavern girl. When Alex broached a topic beyond the realm of food and drink, though,
"I'm a professional fighter in the mixed magic arena. What do you guys do, if I may ask?"
,That simple question seemed to echo in his ears more times than it had been spoken aloud and the ranger's brow furrowed as he struggled to find an answer. Alex said he was a professional fighter in the mixed magic arena. Simple enough and straight forward enough that one could fairly well enough imagine how the man spent his days and nights. He was a Battlemage. Okay, Dak reached for his tankard again, his gaze ticking to regard Dog, happily gnawing at her bone, then lifting to begin a fresh scan of the circuit around the bar, again. He tipped the cider to his lips as he repeated the scan of the room and thought about Alex's question.
When the sip and scan had completed, this time, the best Dak could do was offer a faint shrug and a half-grin; "I, uh, find people."
Surely, that's the best way to explain it, isn't it?

Topic: Vigilante
Subject: And the party grows
",I'm Alex Bertrand," the mage said, clasping Dak's hand in greeting.
The ranger offered a welcoming nod and, then, like the mage, turned eyes to the curious little creature that had recently scampered into the bar and joined them at the table. Under the table, Dog growled a bit at the foxkin's arrival, "Tsk, dinalle," Dak admonished, nudging Dog with a toe.
"Looks like we've all been summoned by a ghost," the little fox-lady japed as she climbed into a chair and waved a paw-like hand in greeting. "Pyrus Ashcoat," she continued by way of introducing herself, "eagerly awaiting this lord Brown, too."
"Vedui', Pyrus," the ranger nodded, "I am Dak," he gestured at the mage next to him, then, "this is Alex."
It was then that yet another approached the table; a tall, somewhat imposing man that had the look of a fighter about him but, at the same time, presented an air of compassion that often went amiss in hardened warrior-types, A war priest? Dak wondered,
"Lord Brown's City Sweepers, I presume?" the man queried, drawing a wry smile and a faint nod from the ranger, "I am Heironymus Enjolras Myriel. May I sit and join you?"
"Please," Dak said, gesturing to one of the few remaining chairs surrounding the table, "Hama sinome."
The serving girl returned, then, bringing with her a large tankard of mulled cider and a wooden bowl containing a soup-bone and a few scraps of meat and fatty gristle, both of which she placed in front of Dak. The ranger nodded his thanks and, as the girl offered her welcoming yet weary smile to the others who had joined him, slipped the bowl under the table to Dog.
"Looks like your table's filling fast, Dak," the girl grinned, her eyes ticking from one face to the next,
"Mmhmm," Dak acknowledged as he took a long pull from the tankard.
",What can I get for you folks," she asked,
((OOC: Elvish to English: dinalle = Shush (as used in this case - can also translate to Shut up, be quiet/silent, etc); Vedui = Greetings; Hama sinome = Have a seat ))

Topic: Vigilante
Subject: Afraid not...
It hadn't been long, at all, after Dak arrived, that a frazzled serving girl found her way to the table. She offered an accommodating, if somewhat tired, smile when his eyes met hers. "Oh," she said, a faint recognition lighting her eyes, "h'lo, Dak. Haven't seen you here in a while."
The ranger returned the smile and offered a faint shrug along with it; "Been elsewhere of late, arwenamin."
"Good to see you, all the same," she said, "The usual?"
Dak nodded and the serving girl beamed as she skittered away to fetch a mug of mulled cider and, perhaps, a bone or some other scraps for Dog. She had yet to return when the ranger caught sight of another person approaching the table, A mage of some sort by the looks of him, Dak surmised, as this newcomer drew up to the table and took a seat.
"So," the mage said, settling in the chair he'd selected, "are you this Mr. Brown?"
"No," the ranger answered, "but I had thought to ask the same of you until just now." He extended a hand in greeting; "Dak Whisperfoot," he said by way of introduction, "mae govannen."
((OOC: Elvish to English translation: arwenamin = m'lady; mae govannen = well met ))

Topic: Vigilante
Subject: First one here?
Earlier in the day
", If interested meet at the Luck of Shinara.
Signed, Lord Brown
"Lord Brown," Dak muttered the name under his breath as he scratched absently at one whisker-stubbled cheek and his gaze swept apprehensively around his tiny room, "I don't know that I've heard that name before."
His scowl deepened but, somehow, at the same time, his demeanor eased when he realized that, aside from the neatly folded letter he'd just found on his pillow, nothing else was amiss. The gear he'd left behind prior to last night's ranging and the fattish coinpurse he kept secreted away in the false bottom of a drawer in the bedside table were both undisturbed, and, in fact, had it not been for the letter, he might not have known that anyone had been here, at all. He watched Dog as, nose to the floorboards, she sniffed a circle about the bed, to the door and back, and then, tail wagging, jumped onto the bed and curled herself up at it's foot and stared up at him.
"Kai, eh," the ranger's scowl morphed into something more like a smile as he reached out a hand to scratch the animal between her ears and his green eyes regarded the note in his other hand, once more, "but, something, still,"
He folded the letter, relegated it to one of the small pouches that hung from his belt, and, his gaze still suspiciously scanning the room, sat on the edge of the bed next to Dog.
",Something, indeed, uma?" The dog grumbled and rested her head in the half-elf's lap, prompting his one hand to join the other in the scratching of her head. Her tail wagged with a bit more enthusiasm at that, beating out a soft thump-thump-thump against the bedclothes as Dak continued; "Something of more than a little interest, I think, don't you? Twenty gold a week isn't a sorry sum to offer us, especially considering we've already been doing the same thing for free, And, if nothing else, I'd like to meet this man who so easily and, it seems, invisibly, gained access to our home.
What say you, Dog," the ranger asked, his gaze now dropping to meet that of his companion's, "Do we go to The Luck of Shinara and meet with this Lord Brown?"
A soft bark and chuff was Dog's answer and Dak nodded in acknowledgement. "Precisely my thoughts," he said, tousling the fur between her ears before abandoning the scratching altogether.
"Come," he said, getting to his feet and moving to gather the remainder of his gear, "Let's go and see what Shinara's Luck reveals about this benefactor."
Later, at The Luck of Shinara
The Luck was as boisterous and seedy as it ever was when Dak and Dog slipped inside that evening. Just inside the door, the ranger's emerald eyes skimmed the crowd, making note of the placement and preoccupations of patrons and staff alike, before he committed another step. Dog whimpered faintly at the discordant music that scarcely rose above the din of the place and Dak's hand reached out to pat her head in consolation. "Sinta'amin," the ranger murmured, eyeing the waifish dancer for a moment before, finally, moving for the lone empty table in the place, "not the highest caliber of entertainment in the city, girl, but this is not why we're here."
Dog chuffed, nuzzled the ranger's hand, and followed at his heel as he weaved through the crowd. When they reached the empty table, she sat and glanced back toward the door as Dak regarded the ‘Reserved' sign for a fraction of an instant and, then, settled himself into one of the chairs behind the thing. She twitched her tail rather than wagged it and, as her ranger friend settled into his chosen spot, she curled up at his feet, resting her muzzle on her paws, and kept watch on the door.
((OOC: Elvish to English translations: Kai = Nothing; uma= yes; sinta'amin = I know))

Very interesting opening post! Laughed out loud at the smell of burnt gnome being less appetizing than bacon. 
I'll try to have something posted for Dak a bit later today. Have meetings this morning that will keep me busy until 10 or so.

Topic: Vigilante Q/A
Subject: Done.... I think....
Finished Dak's inventory, description, and something of a background. Updated the "character post" above to include the new/updated info.
Note: The dog mentioned in the character sheet is not an "animal companion" per the ranger class (Dak's not reached that level, yet, of course). Instead, I imagined it as more of a "pet/companion" that Dak bought/adopted at some point (discounted 15 gp from my initial 500 for the dog's price). I envision the critter to look something akin to an Australian Shepherd. Dak simply calls her "Dog." 
P.S. Looking forward to getting started on this.

Topic: Urban D&D Game
Subject: Dak Whisperfoot
Okay, got a bit of a start on my Urban Ranger character - a Half-elven chap known as Dak Whisperfoot. Basically just stats and such at the moment, haven't finished buying gear, haven't really come up with much of a background, yet, either.

Feats

- Endurance
- Far Shot
- Martial Weapon Proficiency
- Point Blank Shot
- Rapid Shot
- Shield Proficiency
- Simple Weapon Proficiency
- Urban Tracking - Can track down the location of missing persons or wanted
individuals within communities.
Benefit
To find the trail of an individual or to follow it for 1 hour requires a Gather
Information check. You must make another Gather Information check every hour of
the search, as well as each time the trail becomes difficult to follow, such as
when it moves to a different area of town.
The DC of the check, and the number of checks required to track down your quarry,
depends on the community size and the conditions:
If you fail a Gather Information check, you can retry after 1 hour of questioning.
The game master should roll the number of checks required secretly, so that the
player doesn't know exactly how long the task will require.
Normal
A character without this feat can use Gather Information to find out information
about a particular individual, but each check takes 1d4+1 hours and doesn't allow
effective trailing.
Special
A character with 5 ranks in Knowledge (local) gains a +2 bonus on the Gather
Information check to use this feat.
You can cut the time between Gather Information checks in half (to 30 minutes per
check rather than 1 hour), but you take a -5 penalty on the check.

As far as setting your avatar pic goes, you should just need go to the 'Edit Profile' screen, select your avatar picture from the dropdown, there, and click the submit button. Bing, bang,boom, picture!
Are you getting any errors when you try to change the pic or does it just act like it's doing something and then you get nothing?

Is there anyway to tell, at a glance, how long these "statues" have been there? (A layer of dust, cobwebs, etc, perhaps?) I'm guessing that it probably "varies from statue to statue" somehow but don't want to get too meta in my "we're all gonna die" thoughts just yet.
