Red Mage is closely linked to bard, unless you want to go fighter/wizard which would likely be the best way - i'll send you some details tonight.

To clear up schedule stuff - I'll be around starting at 1pm EST

from there I can get everyone up to speed with the adventure and introduce them to the game and show them how to use the roll20.net site (which is very simple for a player - don't worry)

I was saying 4-5 EST just as an idea to see who could play when, but it's up to all of you.
