We'll be playing the H1 module this coming Sunday at the guild. I'm running the game. Remember, last we left off, the party, on the charge of Lord Padraig, descended into an old ruined Keep from the Nerath Empire. It is surrounded with mystery - why are there goblins inhabiting the place, and what exactly happened there over a century ago? Is there actually a cult operating there or is all a bunch of goblin baloney?

Max isn't 100% sure yet about this whole rift business, but if it does exist he will make sure it is destroyed or at least better secured. Also who ever this Kalarel is certainly needs to be taken out. Seems pretty black and white. Furthermore any restless souls must be laid to rest permanently. That which is dead should stay dead...

I'm posting character bio here for Maximillian Jones since its tagged with H1.
Max was born into a wealthy and once fairly well known family. Before retiring his father was once a member of a loose “organization” of adventurers that called themselves hunters. Their main goal was the extermination of evil, primarily supernatural and extra planar threats. Hunters spent as much time researching how to track down and destroy such threats as they did training in the arts of combat, stealth, and tactics. Mostly Hunters are loaner types, most hunters do know each other and on occasion work together, but usually they work alone or within their immediate family. Max’s father, Constantine, was an exceptional hunter that was especially well respected among other hunters for his long list of vanquished spirits, demons, vampires, werewolves, and other less commonly known supernatural entities. Eventually though all hunters reach an age where they ask themselves, “Do I continue on alone to fight a battle that will likely never end, or do I retire completely from the life never to look back?” Constantine chose the latter, married, used his collection of rewards from over the years to buy a home, had a son and daughter, and never once spoke of his past to his family. He wanted a better life for them and did not want his children following in his footsteps.
Unfortunately, Constantine’s reputation among other hunters was matched only by his reputation among various agents of evil that are not without their own talents and resources. It took nearly a decade and a half, but eventually his past caught up with him in the form of a vampire seeking revenge for the loss of his lover at the hands of Constantine long ago. In the middle of the night the vampire struck. Years of inaction and a particularly cunning vampire left the former hunter and his family vulnerable. Max woke up to find his father and mother slaughtered and the vampire’s hands around his sister. Fearlessly, (not to mention recklessly; he had yet to learn anything about vampires) he charged. The vampire easily swatted him aside knocking him against the wall and into unconsciousness. When he awoke both the vampire and his sister were gone.
Max was torn apart inside, but as he began working towards burying his family and putting the house in order, he uncovered a hidden compartment under his parents’ bed. Underneath a floorboard he found an old leather-bound and dusty journal. Within that journal was his everything about his father’s past as a hunter including everything he knew about every creature he had ever encountered. Upon reading the section on vampires, he decided then and there he would become a hunter and hunt down the thing that killed his family.
Using the journal Max began hunting on his own, picking up on clues and tracking various evil threats, often finding he was a natural hunter and a very agile combatant. To increase his power he began studying what he could to learn about the arcane arts, and one day become a powerful wizard that could bring down the most terrible of fiends. Eventually Max did hunt down and kill the vampire using the elements of surprise and his father’s journal entries on hunting vampires, but it wasn’t enough. He decided that forevermore his purpose in life would be to make sure that no evil is ever able to harm another family ever again.

This is total selfish personal bias, but I say go Tactical Warlord. Mmmm Taclord...
But it doesn't matter. Both types are great. Level 3.

Wizordlock.
Make whatever character you decide a level 2 character for now. You will contribute and level up just fine.
Campaign/adventure background: Well that depends on where your character is from and where he/she is going. I'm going to say he/she has just recently come to an old ruined keep. You may have been interested in the keep or perhaps it was just a milestone along the road to wherever else it was you were going (e.g. Winterhaven, Fallcrest, Hammerfast, Harkenwold or just somewhere generally in the Nentir Vale, a region bordered by mountains and forests). Regardless of your motives, when you came to the old ruined place, you were jumped by goblins . . . and guess what? You were taken prisoner. There, classic. The goblins were pretty cruel to you, and I'll tell you more about what you've seen/heard over the past two days (Has it been that long? Time doesn't seem to flow the same when you're imprisoned underground.) this weekend when I see you at the game.
So yeah, for now: level 2 character of any class/race from PHB. You guessed it . . . your equipment is stashed in a chest somewhere nearby. Just out of reach. Yeah, goblins are petty and cliche, I know. So am I.

Joseph - 353.14159265 xp for Maximillian Jones' back story. Round down to the nearest 10xp.
It was a good read. Other stories are welcome.

Warlock/Warlord? WTF? Why? Word to the wise: Don't listen to Gary. He's terrible at this game. Send any and all questions to Nixon. He's a far better player than fucking Gary.
