[blockquote=Cataclysmic Crow]It really would be difficult for me to play before the 5th/6th of July. But I'm okay with entering the game a session or two late if that works. [/blockquote] We're going to start on the 6th, I think.

A dwelling for Tarim would make sense, he's been staying in the city long enough. I think he would go for a place that is both reasonably tidy and inconspicuous. Preferably close to the Hexwarren but not actually within that district, as it would seem to him too obvious for a witch's home.

[Steerpike]

Wormhive would be the most likely choice.  For five hundred obeloi he could even have a small tower, but that might be a bit ostentatious... a set of rooms over a shop or in a large residential tower-block might make more sense.  You might even consider buying an alchemist's lab (500 obeloi) to put in your rooms, though I leave that entirely to you.

How about you, Cataclysmic Crow?  Would Mr. Carver have a residence?  Perhaps in the slums of Resurrection Row (does he live with Woundtender?)?

[Superfluous Crow]

Woundtender died, and he fled the premises after that. He probably wouldn't go back. But yes, he might have a cheap "clinic" somewhere in Resurrection Row. That would make sense.

[Steerpike]

Ah, right.  The shabby clinic makes sense though.

How much would such a dwelling cost in the Wormhive?

[TheMeanestGuest]

I'd imagine when Lady Genevieve first arrived in Macellaria she would have had a fairly substantial residence. However, as her illness developed Kaius was forced to seek progressively worse accommodations for them. I was imagining where they were in the short story I wrote being the top floor of a small tenement building, how much would that be?

[Llum]

Alright, I replace one of the feats on Gorethirst with one of the feats from the Player's Companion. Sudden Strike Mastery I gives me the Quick Draw feat for that specific weapon only(a greataxe in my case), and I also get +1 damage/hit on my first attack after I draw my weapon.

[Steerpike]

The Wormhive rooms would probably cost about 15 obeloi a month (for fairly nice rooms), the low-quality tenement rooms 10 a month (if they were in a poor neighborhood).  Sound reasonable?

The Feat looks like a good choice, Llum.

[Steerpike]

Would anyone mind if I moved the time back half an hour on the 6th?  I realized that the 6th will be part of the brief window when I'll still be in Ontario but won't have internet access (I'm moving to Vancouver, but there's a week where the companies will have turned off my services where I'll still be around, and the 6th is in that week).  It's not a big deal - there's a library next to my house where I can get free WiFi, but it closes at 6:30 EST, so if we want to get a solid 2 hours in I think we should start at 1PM PST/ 4PM EST.  I could, alternatively, go to a different library and squeeze out a little more time, but even that one closes at 7:45.

[Ghostman]

"Nice" rooms for 15/month it is, then. And starting 30 minutes earlier would be much the better for me - so I wouldn't mind always starting at that time :-p

Starting earlier actually works better for me.

[Llum]

Starting earlier shouldn't be a problem for me. Still gives me about 15~ minutes leeway from when I'm normally home from work.

[Superfluous Crow]

Unless I've overlooked something (I'm not exactly the master of planning) that should be completely fine for me.
Small favor: could we state the times in GMT instead? Makes it easier to figure out as I otherwise have to look up what PST and EST corresponds to in that system... I think PST is GMT-8, so starting 1 PST would mean 10 GMT+1 (my time zone) for me.

Yes PST is -8 (EST is -5). I'd advise against switching to GMT since then you are just confusing all the non-GMT people. Probably best to state GMT though, alongside the others.
