I was going to say it grounds, its more realistic than the old school bouncing. But in retrospect, I'm going to be a little less boring than that.
Tell you what, shallow angles, anything under 30 degrees will deflect. More direct, and itl ground.

Cinder, it looks like our character's have similar goals, and share the same deity, Bahamut.
I like Velons backstory, as a Paladin that he is compelled to act against evil, and taking the oath of devotion.
What are your initial thoughts about taking on an evil dragon? Or better still, going on a quest to speak to a good dragon, in a side quest?
Daish, can I start a side quest in any area on the Faerun map? For example the jungles of Ghult? Or the Galim desert?
Or do you have specific, no go areas exclusive for the Main thread only?
Anron, the side stories thread is for current situations. It is used for further developing inter character relationships in between chapters of the story for example. It is also used for side quests for characters in between chapters. Normally it isn't used to flesh out things that have happened in your character's past. Daishain doesn't really have time to run side quests for things in the character's past while running the main story line. That's the way it has been so far anyways.
