Spellcasting: A cleric gets his spells from his god. In Audalis, they take a great deal of strength from the character, but there are no rules connected to this. So basically, it comes down to the player to spice it up in his posts.

But in my vision cleric spells are granted by the followed diety after morning prayers (could also be evening, as long as it is the same moment, every day).

On another note: I don't specifically use material components. This only goes for components that are common. So if you need a raven's feather or mushroom dust, we'll say that you don't need it. If the component is a diamond worth 100 GP, or something rare, than you're going to need it.

What about the inborn spells of the half air elemental? I don't believe that the components are uncommon, however I have not searched all of them, nor do I know how high this is willing to go. Will Baldorf need material componenets ever, or is it just cast from his essence?

usually, these spells don't use a lot of expensive components. But the same rules apply. The act of using components comes from the belief that you draw energy from these objects, I believe. So where would this energy come from if it doesn't come from the material comp? From your own energy?
Compare it to sorcerers, who have the same thing going on: the energy comes from within, but they need components too.

At least, that is my take on it

The first post has been made, guys! We are ready to ROCK!

..... quite a heart-warming tale to get us into the groove of things!

I assume we are just mixing and drinking and whatever until Almerin interjects some conflict into the adventure!

By the way, I got a good chuckle out of Loco being introduced into the storyline!

..... found its way to The Spores of Itanlok for your inspiration and reading pleasure!

That was a groovy post maaaaan...

Crully'll have something up soonishly... gotta finish up for CWWLLO, Rocinante, and a couple of other little things I need to get off my plate, but it shan't be long.

That was quite an entertaining post, Hammer.

For the rest of you who noted how Loco overheard the couple: that's not really supposed to be the case for everybody. It's not like their belching their gossip over the crowd. But in Loco's case, it fits perfectly, and I would not have Hammer change his post in a million years.
I just wanted this cleared out though.

..... the clarification Almerin!

I actually wrote that post at the office while waiting for my sports page to be approved and there was quite a long delay that allowed me to write the whole thing!

Glad it was okay and in character for Loco to have heard what was going on in his mushroomed state of mind because I left all his info at the house on my laptop and was writing it from memory!

Glad you enjoyed what I wrote!

Am looking forward to the interaction with the other players and their characters playing off what we are posting from what Almerin has presented to us!

Grothtorg has made his presence known, as well ...

Quality posting, all of you!

..... what Almerin said and I am so glad I was able to get into this particular adventure with such quality posters!

You just know that Eol is writing a Doozy!

The brother noticed something that I did quite by accident. It's still kinda neat, though:

Spell Grothtorg backward ...

Nice, a Palindrome. Interesting.

Does that mean he thinks backwards too? Let's hope not!

...dunno about a doozy, Hammer, but there it is for what it's worth.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, though.
