And he was awesome.
My lfm was the standard know your way, be self sufficient. I got the typical waves of 'share plz' which I responded with dismissing.
When he joined he stated he was a newer player right away. I was surprised when he said that he had been playing less than a week, not only was he able to find his way to stk, he was carrying cure pots (lvl 5 fighter).
He summoned a cleric hireling which I asked to be dismissed. He did. I also suggest sword and boarding is frowned upon. He thanked me for pointing that out and promptly swapped to a great axe.
while we milked the exp he had quite a few questions about multiclassing and class combinations. We had 3 other vets in the party that also participated in answering his questions. He kept up just fine and shared experiences with the game he came from (WoW).
The best part was in part 2 near the end. I got held with an unlucky roll and was promptly annihilated by the hobgoblins. He carried my soul stone to the shrine
Apparently he found the quest by looking at the ddowiki. I wish more means that I came across used resources like this.
