I'm content to wait for the 2nd game, but could likely (say, 80%
sure) join the first, if you need me to.

Working on a few things a details for Kal:
-Kal is going to be a War Wizard, possibly going with the
humorous theme of being Trigger Happy. I know at least that when
confronted with a mean monster, he certainly would be keen on
exploding a spell in his face.
-His implement will be a Level 1 Magic Wand which is his free
magic weapon. Consider it for Wand of Accuracy. I shall get him
a regular Longsword as well.
-The god he follows is Ioun. Kal loves book and learning stuff,
especially spells, from them. He heard legends of a library as a
child that held countless magical books and tomes and one if his
side things is that he seeks this very same library to spend
untold hours studying and reading the tomes there.
-His class trained skills will be Arcana, Nature, Diplomacy and
Dungeoneering. His fifth from his racial will be Stealth.

I'll be using a mister Samuel Ashlander, a moody and comically
pessimistic, slightly sarcastic half elf ranger, who prefers the
archer style, since he was using a longbow before it was cool.
His five skills will be dungeoneering, acrobactics, endurance,
stealth, and perception. Samuel follows the deity of Sehanine,
goddess of the moon and autumn. He is a largely nocturnal
individual.
Stats were rolled str 12, dex 17, con 17, int 12, wis 18, cha
18. Elryn can account for these rolls, he rolled them for me.

I would appreciate it if the two groups were established and
everyone registered onto the Virtual Table
HTML http://rpgtableonline.com/welcome.php
by this Saturday if you're
not already. That gives me a solid week to see what adjustments
if any I need to be making to things.
Also, how do the two groups want to start this encounter? Do you
want to start it where you all happen to meet each other before
the adventure proper, be an already established group, something
else entirely? Discuss this amongst yourselves when the two
parties have been chosen and get back to me by the start of the
game.

Update Notice:
I have updated the first post to the best of my knowledge.
Numbers before a name mean the person has said s/he has
expressed a preference for a group.
Thoughts on Group Composition:
I would like to call dibs on Riprose (so we don't have all 3
rangers in 1 party), and possibly Deathlord, because Group 1 is
filling nicely already and he can make both dates. Also, getting
all 3 dragonborn into 1 group could be fun if we want to go for
pre-established relationships, so if Ruka wants to and has the
time, he's welcome too. :) (You all are, but it looks like many
are busy during the week :-\ while my weekends belong more to my
other D&D campaign.)
A quick reminder:
It's time for David, Empish and Kalanna to share their
class/race choice with us. If you're in a "I play what's needed"
mood, pick your favourite of the classes that haven't yet been
chosen twice. Another Wizard would be very useful, as that is
the only full "Controller"-type class. (As in "I do AoE spells
and shoo you around the battlefield with walls and Zones of
Ouch").
Character roles are described on page 16 of the Player's
Handbook. and while we don't "need" one of each role (+ 1-2
extra) per party, it would be helpful. It's always better if we
can work to our character's strengths, instead of doing a "We
don't have a defender, so who volunteers as a punching bag to
kite the monsters?" ;)

Since when am I dibsable? >.>
Also I'm thinking of sticking with group one and work with
Elryn. One problem with Emp saying what she'd like/want to be is
that she's off on a cruise and may or may not have net access.

Sorry, but my desire to participate has pretty much taken a
nosedive. ???
As people either can only play at the first date, only want to
play at the first date, or haven't gotten info I can actually
work and organize with, I'm feeling demotivated and left alone.
I know that's not what anyone intended, it's just how things
went, and sometimes they go in an unlucky way. Add the fact that
differing timezones mean gaming starts at midnight for me, which
means I'll either have to psych myself up for an all-nighter or
I'll be hardly at my best anymore when things get rolling.
But the biggest reason is that playing in a group still scares
me like whoa, even with you, even under the best circumstances
(yes I know it's irrational, but if anxiety listened to reason,
most of my IRL troubles were nonexistant), which these aren't.
Sorry, I tried to help, to encourage, to organize and to conquer
my own fears, but it's just not working out. It doesn't seem
worth the pressure at the moment. Maybe I'll see things
differently once the who and when and how has been established.
I dearly hope so.
Have tons of fun, and tell me all about it! May the group/s
settle nicely to embark on further adventures. :)

It seems we are more or less set to have a good and balanced
group for the First Session and Group. By the looks of it, we
have Deathlord, Starflame, Draketh, True Mortal and myself. A
Leader, a Striker, a Controller (curses and debilatating
effects), a Healer and a Controller (High Damage to multiple
foes) respectively. Rukaji may or may not join however if he
does, that adds a tank to what I would say is a good enough
party.
If that is the case, Miran, you know where to look to establish
the second group. Riprose is a Striker, you a potential Tank if
needed, Condor a Healer which leaves Kalanna, Melody and David
to decide how to arrange, or if they will, their characters in
consequence. Two groups of six.
Edit: Seems like Rukaji should be able to make it not
withstanding other things coming up in the mean time. It looks
like group one is completed.
