@lilith: I think you should pick something that looks fun for you.

If you like magic, you can try a sorcerer or a wizard. Druids are also good spellcasters and they get an animal companion.

If you want to hit things, you can try a barbarian, fighter, or knight.

If you like the idea of doing both, you can try a duskblade.

Our party leader is planning on hiring an NPC rogue to join us, so you do have the option of taking over that character with FakeGod's approval, or if you really like the idea of being a rogue, you can be one too. Ninjas similarly take advantage of sneak attack like rogues, but generally have an easier time getting in position to deal sneak attack damage. Both are good choices if you like the idea of a stealthy character.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask them in this thread or join us in the dnd site chat lobby.

[Who]

If you don't know what you want, most useful to the party in the long term but not awful in the short term would be probably be druid. Or another meatshield would also help.

[GuyInFreezer]

We're hiring rogue?

I'm multiclassing to rogue next level though.

[Brian Skies]

Yeah, Hana plans on hiring the captains assistant that we met in the goblin stronghold. Hana has some ulterior motives for it though.

I thought the main reason you were multiclassing into rogue was for the sneak attack damage.

[Jackel98]

So, I'm stuck between Spellthief, Duskblade, and Druid. I have base ideas for each.
I'm probably going with Spellthief, but not going into the more street-smarts, rogue-y parts.

[Jackal711]

Assuming my internet connection cooperates, I should actually be able to make it this weekend.

Noon works for me.

Summary

Party adventures deep into the abandoned monastery once more. They find a large number of coffins and eaten corpses and grow alarmed. They move ahead and find a magic circle on the ground. No Two disrupts it by scratching out a rune. Nothing happens. They explore the next room and finds it full of human-sized spiders. Spiders surround them, but they managed to cut their way out. One of the spiders tried to flee below by triggering the magic circle and opening a secret passage, but Avina blows its brain out.

They adventure down the passage and find a large cavern. They venture around and realize that they are not alone. Spiders swarm them, and they begin to cut them down. A gigantic 15ft by 15ft spider erupts into the fray, so Who locks it down with Web. They clean up the other spiders while the spider boss forces its way through the web. It makes it out eventually and attacks the party, but couple channeled shots from Avina and myriad of fire damage it suffered while PCs hurled torches at it in Web brings it down.

Party finds a decent number of corpses of unknown creatures in its lair. No Two tried to extract some poison, but gets poisoned instead and drops helpless. PCs help each other back to Lorinshire, along with the goods.

Spoiler: Act 2 Start

[Jackel98]

So, I made a Spellthief: http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=618129
Might have to fix some things.

[Oman]

Now that Uni is over I could probably make these games...

Even just to listen in.

[T-Bone]

We type, so there would be very little listening involved.

Also better times this Act or BOOOOOOOOOOOO

[FakeGod]

Stop being obnoxious.

[FakeGod]

Your character looks fine, Jackel.

I recommend asking for some cash from your party members to set out with better gear.

edit: I would also ask Who and Cheetory whether they are okay with you stealing spells off them.

[Who]

No.
