I'll need you to be quite pro-active over the next several game days. While things are going on in Freehold, like every town or city in Golarion, you don't have a set of rails to be walking on right now.
Embrace it, if possible. Be proactive, think what your character would enjoy doing and give me something to work with. Qhude already planning a hunting trip tomorrow with N'bellocq is a great example of this :).
As for me... I'll work on my update rate. Things are beginning to settle down on my end.
Tebati's going to have to wait and see what everyone else is doing and maybe tag along with one of them. (Crosses Ansha off her list of "To Hang Out With in Freehold.") No boats, no Bonuwat, and the only temple is of a faith diametrically opposed to her own. Not much to interest her here.
*looks at character sheet* Hmmm. No Survival and no Stealth. Probably more of a liability than an asset on a hunt. Plus, she views it as male-bonding time for Qhude and N'bellocq and wouldn't dream of intruding.
She intends to discuss the Qhude situation with Kieran after an appropriate interval (pleasure before business) and will definitely be up in the morning to chat with Qhude and see the hunters off. Just her activities from there on out are a lot more up in the air. We'll wait and see what happens. She's more reactive than proactive anyway. Shimye-Magalla frowns on planning as insufficiently pious. If she ends up spending two weeks meditating and ordering room service with Kieran, there are certainly worse ways to spend two weeks. ;)
Oh I do imagine there will be things you can potentially react to, its just the spaces in between such events that you get to RP and develop further character :)
Hey, if there were any of her own people here or a river or shoreline of some sort to go hang out and meet people, she'd be all over it. She's not interested in ranches or farming or soldiers and she doesn't have any money to buy anything with, which eliminates most of Freehold's stat block. If Ntisi were a traditional Zenj shamaness, they'd probably find some common ground, but the alignment difference between their deities is just too wide to bridge amicably.
If Kieran or Jakob aren't doing anything that lends to her tagging along, she can always go out and harangue Jeggare about the flaws in his so-called "model town." ;P
Well, if she finds out about their presence, she'd definitely go seek them out. She's just assuming there aren't any here because there's no water and no boats. Of course, that also means she doesn't know to inquire about them.
Meh, had lunch and just missed the edit window. :P
If she were to see a Bonuwat around town while meditating or just out moving around, she'd eagerly approach them and ask to be introduced to the rest of them. They're probably either an oppressed minority under Erastil's reign of terror or have abandoned their traditional faith to fit in with the community; either way, it will give her something to get exercised about. ;)

Mentioned it before on the walk in, but Qhude would seek to talk to any Bas'o he saw (if there are any within Freehold). Though given where we are in Sargava, there's always an off-chance that he'd run into some on the hunt.
Joana - I'm sure Qhude will get into some sort of kerfuffle along the way that he needs rescuing from ;)
I don't know; depends on how many of these merchants are married. I imagine the priestess of Erastil would have something to say about a visiting homewrecker in Bellis Mara's inn. :)

Qhude is trying to make nice... honest - he's just not that wise and blatantly calling the Council Member an old woman in front of the guard captain is an extension of that :)
Kind of like when a three year old walks up to a random stranger and says "Wow, you're fat" or the like...
I've finally found time to start prepping from where I left off in this game again. It doesn't actually affect your time in Freehold but it certainly keeps this game in my mind and makes me enthused to post a lot again after a period of slowdown where work was kicking my ass.
From about level 6-7ish, this game could honestly go in any number of directions and i'm not even going to attempt to plan them all out until i'm sure where your headed :).

Council Member Mara does make me chuckle. Breaking and entering and thieves are perfectly fine and shall be rewarded with gold... but ne'er shall she endure the sight of an ill-laundered pair of linens!
I am going to be without a computer for the next few days due to a combination of a friend's wedding out of town and some brief but much-needed vacation/rest sort of thing. I will be back come Monday. Please DMPC Kieran as needed.
Tebati and Ansha need to spend more time together in-game; at least they could chat while everyone's out dealing with RL. Even once Jakob replies, Tebati's still got nothing to do but wander around until dinner-time. Of course, Qhude and N'bellocq have already spent all their daylight hours, while the rest of us have barely managed to make it past breakfast.
EDIT: Could be worse, though; I think Jakob and N'bellocq are still working on last night. :P
But the townspeople have noted the presence of a priestess.... ;).
Well, I should hope they have, since she's been standing in the marketplace for almost five days now. That ought to give even the least-Perceptive townsfolk time to take twenty. ;P
Hmm, seem to be missing a component... His profile doesn't have a PM button :(.
Shows up for me. He probably blocked you by accident. The "delete message" button is right next to the "block this sender" button. I'll let him know we're looking for him and ask if he's snubbing you on purpose. ;)

Just a note for Ansha and Tebati -
Qhude does plan on washing most of the impala guts off his back, shorts and hands. He'll put the shorts back on once they've dried... but most of the smelliest bits will be gone :P
So now you're asking us to picture you naked and covered in impala guts? Not sure you're ratcheting the 'ew' factor in the direction you're aiming for. ;)

Oh, if you want ew factor I can step it up a notch :P but I'd prefer not to
Was purely a statement that Qhude would be having a washdown after his hunt - which will leave him relatively clean, but his garment will still remain pretty festy (freshly cleaned festy... but festy nonetheless).
