Are we able to consider Valen and Melisi npc's at this point?

Mmmmmm, I say no. Those two are dead to me. Their characters, not Pablo and Justin. Although I don't see Pablo that often.

Anyways, good question, but let's exclude them.

I suggest Kevian and/or Evan for interim president/co-presidents.

Suggestions for an NPC party: K'Gorsz (rogue), Rez'Gyrk (cleric), Tian (wizard), Otihand (fighter), Gravaar (barbarian), and Panian (ranger) or Leera (bard).

Again, just suggestions based on roles and abilities of each npc.

I really like the looks of that party seems well balanced.

question. Is hasamir still around or did he have a crisis of sorts and change his race class and name?

I would suggest changing out the barbarian for the monk, for the sake of variety. They are both strikers so damage dealing shouldn't be an issue.

Fabulous secret powers were revealed to Hasimir when he held aloft his magic sword and said, "By the power of Rockhammer!" and since then Hasimir has become Grognak!

I would say Evan would make a better president than Kevian, Kevian has enough to worry about. How about Lander? What is that old coot doing these days?

Evan sounds like a great candidate to me. I do not know enough about Lander's past to know if he has had any large scale organizational experience.
Also, putting Delek in instead of Gravaar seems reasonable...but, do you think a human monk could honestly do as much raw damage as an orc barbarian? Another option...we could dump the ranger/bard choice and add the monk?

WAIT...is Leera a Bard or a Warlock?

I dont care about raw damage, I want a monk to be somewhere dammit!

A Bard would be a great addition, they are leaders and have healing, which is always useful, and they make the rest of the party more effective, AND, we have never used a Bard in 4th ed. Again variety.

I think when I converted Leera from 3rd to 4th they didn't have a bard class so I picked warlock for her. I'll switch her back to bard at some point, so let's consider her a bard for now.

Lander isn't up to much, just working on his studies. You think you may have heard him mention that he was a clerk in Waterdeep, but he doesn't talk about it much.

In regards to the monk vs barbarian debate wise players would also consider the human vs orc debate as well. Especially since the Silver Marches could be overrun with orcs in a couple weeks.

Also, let's think of a leader of the NPC adventuring group, someone to take charge of them and make decisions.

Ah, so a HOBGOBLIN cleric probably wouldn't be such a good idea either?

Leera (Leader, which = healer, not as good as a cleric or shaman, but gets the job done)

Otihand (Defender)
Tian Serpenthelm (Controller)
Delek (Striker)
Panian (Striker)
Troy Percival (Defender) and some extra healing?

That all makes sense regarding racial differences and the current unrest across the land. Unfortunately though, that leaves the group with out a rogue. (The monk could take the thievery skill to help balance this out though.)

Sam's statement of leadership is also pertinent. Leera's role may be as a leader, but her traitorous past would not lend well to leadership. I would suggest the soft spoken Panian, since he has proved himself by leading successful missions in the past.

I wouldn't call it traitorous, she was just misguided. Her role is Leader, which doesn't mean she has to be the spokesperson, just sayin. And what, no one liked my bit on Hasimir?
really?

Fabulous secret powers were revealed to Hasimir when he held aloft his magic sword and said, "By the power of Rockhammer!" and since then Hasimir has become Grognak!

This is classic He-man, you damn plebians!

I saw it Lou and it was funny...I was honestly waiting for Jordan's reaction.
I enjoyed it though :-)

Have we settled on the JV party members? Is Panian a good choice for JV party leader? Have we settled on Evan as interim president, when necessary?

I thought the classic He-Man reference was also well done, but was also waiting for Jordan's response.

I'm agreed with the JV team members, and I second the vote for Evan.

Kregnok will have a discussion with the quarry dwarves and the blacksmiths on things to focus on during our absence.

hey hey I can only check the interwebs once or twice a day louis!
I did dig the he-man though:P

Awesome, awesome job everyone! Ok, to sum up we have Evan Barksdale acting as president of Rock Hammer for the times when you are out adventuring, and our JV Team will be:

Panian (Striker)
Leera (Leader)
Otihand (Defender)
Troy Percival (Defender)
Tian Serpenthelm (Controller)
Delek (Striker)

And that Panian will be in charge of this group. Sounds great, I’ll go ahead and move us forward a day, but if anyone wanted to make any changes feel free to post up on this thread.
