I have a PDF of the Player's Handbook, which I will e-mail to you if you don't have a copy, you don't need to memorize it or anything, but it would help to have it handy for this game.If you want to play another race,then No level adjustments above +1.If you give me a good reason to play a race that's not +1 level adjustment I might let you. If you want a different class, just ask(I know all classes for 3.5).

So are you leaving or making a plan? If you are making a plan, go ahead and start planning. I you want to just go, I will need you to tell me where you are going. I "strongly" recommend that whatever you do, you should do it together.
I think there are a few things we should do. Establish a rendezvous point in case one of us gets lost. Designate a formation(like, who will be in the front, middle, back, etc.). And perhaps just to be certain, maybe we should do some research on what sort of creatures live there, and prepare ourselves for them.
I would like to remind you of the following: The parents of the missing children are at"Elara's Halfway House" and they do not know if anyone is looking for their kids. They could also help describe what the kids look like.
(sound of dice rolling) The Ranger is aware that the Darkmoon Vale is EXTREMELY dangerous and full of extensive tunnel systems. although he has not explored them all personally, he does have a basic idea of what is where. He "might" be able to navigate them, but finding the kids would be easier if he had a basic idea of where to look.
The Paladin is still obligated by duty to cleanse the area of the Kobolds, so she needs to do that, eventually. I point this out because some of the townsfolk believe the kids "may" have been kidnapped by the Kobolds.
The Barbarian says he has been looking for the kids, and he has probably told you where he has looked and knows that the only place he hasn't checked thouroghly is the Halfway House and the Darkmoon Vale.
The Rogue and Illusionist really don't have anything to tie them into this plot, but they do have skills that can be quite useful to the party. The Rogue might be able to search the Vale undetected and find where the kids are located, and a Wizard is ALWAYS useful for any situation.
I will repost all the character sheets, so we can see what skills and abilities everyone has to help establish a good base to work off of.

I'm thinking that I'd probably be best to go up front, since I have the heaviest armor plus the lantern. Maybe we should speak to the parents first, though?
i agrre we should go to the parents the head to the darkmoon vale with me and the barbarian in front the wizard and the rogue in the middle with the paladin in the back
i have 2 formation plans 1 in front rouge, Barbarian middle ranger and wizard, Rear paladin 2 paladin and barbarian, middle rouge and wizard behind ranger
Okay, I have to do this. It's rogue, not rouge. Rogue is a thief/sneaky/whatever, rouge is a kind of makeup, it's like blush. I think the barbarian should be in the back, since he's the best fighter. We need to protect our rear. Walking side by side with the barbarian is the ranger; he's a good, versatile fighter as well. Up one from the barbarian is the rogue; I think the rogue would do well close to the back because that way he won't be spotted as easily by the enemy. Of course, in the middle goes the wizard. The reason being, the wizard can't really fight it out melee style, so we have to keep him out of the line of fire. Up front would be the paladin, purely because of the equipment. The paladin has the heavy armor(meaning that she'd take the hits best) and also because she's the one with the lantern, which is pretty critical in a tunnel scenario.
