Hurrah! Now that the Midsummer celebration is over I just took a look at the replies to my last post and I see that Brian_Link has successfully guessed the answer to the RogerDS contest! (The question was: What are the races, classes and levels of the four PCs in RogerDS?)
Brian offered us his reasoning:
I don't like Roger just getting combat style(the reason why I gave him fighter levels), but I also don't like Gren having access to Animate Dead only with a scroll.But if Gren were high enough level to have Animate Dead Roger most likely would have Ranger Spells(He probably has a Wisdom 12 or above), and an animal companion. Unless they gained more than one level (conveniently placed at a time Roger considers to go 2 weapon fighting) I'm going to have to go...
Roger Human Ranger/2 Gunther Human Fighter/2 Tallow Halfling Rogue/2 Gren Human Cleric/2
Mind you that has Gren almost maxxing his CLW with the Hob's but it will have to do, even if 675GP is a lot out of a level 2's 900GP.
Well-reasoned indeed! And yes, Grens did use quite a few spell slots to nurse those hobgoblins, but remember this obscure rule: when a character is in negative hit points and dying, even 1 hp of healing - such as a Cure Minor Wounds (zero level spell) is enough to stabilise them. From there they can heal slowly by resting or wait for more cure spells. Grens likes to keep Cure Minor Wounds prepared because it's enough to save a dying ally without taking up valuable 1st level spell slots.
I should also point out that Brian's answer wouldn't have been possible without the almost-right answer from Filurmanden, who was the first to get everyone's classes correct. Therefore, in addition to Brian appearing as an NPC in a future episode, Filurmanden will also get to make a brief appearance!
Brian_Link and Filurmanden, please send me an email at DarkeSworde at gmail dot com and let me know if you have any ideas on how you'd like to appear. Traveling merchant? Hobgoblin? Working for the Count? Whatever you want! Allow about a week for me to get back to you - I'll need to put together a little outline of what's coming up so we can fit you in properly, and I have to decide how much to reveal to you in the process...
Congratulations! And thanks to everyone for reading often enough to be able to guess! :)

I love Stabalize... I mean Cure Minor Wounds. I just thought that CML took care of simple scrapes, bruises, and cuts, while CWL could close off major gashes and stuff like what the hobgoblins have happen to them.
Anyways, at least Gren's PC's reaction to Gren Jr. being killed (And the DM reversing time) makes a bit more sense. Though I still find it surprising that Gren risked so much with Animate Dead.
But its really cool that I guessed correctly. I suppose that means that all my lurking came in use. I feel somewhat accomplished.
Haha, yeah. Grens got his scroll, Roger got his masterwork sword, and I don't beleive we've seen just yet what Gunther and Tallow got. But Grens' player decided to use the scroll as early as possible in order to get the most use out of it and, of course, to keep himself alive long enought o get more powerful spells. He could have waited to find an ogre corpse somewhere, but didn't have the patience.
Anyway you should feel accomplished - apparently this contest was a lot harder than I thought it would be!
