Hello there everyone!
There's a few classic thread ideas I thought I'd throw out there for the first brave souls willing to venture forth into Waterdeep! If you're interested, post down below with which ones appeal and when we have enough adventurers I'll pull the thread together!
Please try to post once every 48 hours at a minimum to keep the threads moving. I know this is the holiday season so that may not be possible, but it is a good rule of thumb, right?
Something in the Sewers
The sewers of Waterdeep have always been a source of danger. The City Guard are offering a reward of 300 gold pieces per head for adventurers willing to go into the bowels of the city and uncover the source of the disquieting noises which have been plaguing the Sea Ward after dark for the last three nights. There may be scope for additional reward if the creature is particularly dangerous.
Delivering Desserts
The Junison Bakery, one of the finest bakeries in all Watersdeep, has a lucrative contract to deliver sacred Blessing Cake to the Goldenfield abbey. This will be a journey taking several days and the adventurers will only be paid if the cake reaches the abbey unharmed. There's a lot of cake, and rumour is that it is highly attractive to gnolls.
Glory in the Arena
The Field of Triumph is a famous arena where fame and fortune can be won in an instant. Who can say what the rewards might be for stepping onto the Field? But perform well before the crowds, and your name will be on the lips of every gossipmonger in the city before nightfall!

Hello,
Taking into account my character(Nolul Forgebar) personality, we will be more inclined towards the "Delivering Desserts" plot hook. The first it's also possible. Now for the third I don't see him apply for that.

Of those, I think Thedithas would be most inclined to pursue the Sewers hook. He likely wouldn't see the value in Desserts without additional inducement.

The sewers hook looks like somthing Gorien would be interested in, likely signing up for it under an alias and disguise considering his relationship with the city guard. The deserts one sounds hillarious though and would also pursure it as a secondary option

Excellent! We'll start with Something in the Sewers, then. Thread is up here: waterdeep.freeforums.net/thread/26/sewers for Nolul, Thedithas and Gorien whenever you guys want to post in. And a merry christmas to all!

The second and third both look like something Crucible would do

When Mr. Smee is accepted, I know he'd be delighted to deliver sacred cakes, especially if he can sample a few himself. Just to make sure that the Abbey will be satisfied with the quality of the goods, obviously. He'd would selflessly offer his palate for the greater good. And he might just ask for an advance fee. In pastries. And croissants. And a baker's dozen of those scrumptious little triangles of crumbly dough with the bits of apricot and caramelized nuts on the counter by the fresh-baked bread, thank you very much.

So that's two for Delivering Desserts - Nolul and Smee. Your call on whether you want to level Nolul up before we start this thread, Lunion. If you do, just pop your choices into a thread in the bookkeeping section. Ideally we'd have a third so I'll leave this up for a day before we start things off. Lunion Alxolex

On second thought, Astra would love to look after the Desserts as well. Purely a scientific interest, mind. One must understand how such teeny pastries can cause gnolls from Waterdeep to who-knows-where to salivate. She's a squishy though, so it's best if she stays behind to keep the cake... safe...

Gorien would still do the dessert plot but he is also content with reading of the exploits if another wants to join instead

I'd love to get Nathaniel Rose into the Arena. As he is growing older and becoming a man he is becoming more hellbent on getting revenge on the bandit who killed his mother when he was a child and I think that if he were to win over the crowd he would be able to gain some knowledge from the gossip mongers as to the whereabouts and locations of some of the bandits. Worth a shot!

Doran would take part in a tournament, though not for glory. He would want to take on the challenge to see if he can overcome it. So you can sign him up for the Arena if there are open spots.

I'll sign Echo up for the Arena! They want a performance after all, right? Though I don't think she would initially quite understand what exactly it is she signed herself up for!

Alrighty, I'm not sure I have time to GM two threads at once, but you guys will be first up for the arena once the desserts have been delivered. That is likely the end of this batch of signups!
