DM Sinvel's A Pound of Flesh in Freeport!

Game Master Sinvel Menter



I am making this thread the official call for people to submit their PC's for consideration of playing in my PbP, which will be 0one Game's Urban Adventure "A Pound of Flesh" set in Freeport. It is a 1st level adventure in a port town that is more investigative than combat oriented.

Here are the details I'm looking for:

- PC's will be chosen based on their back story and perceived ability to be creative and have fun!
- Although it is not necessary to be play, 2 of the 4 characters chosen will be classes from the Pathfinder Freeport Companion.
- I will set Freeport in Golarion, so all of those deities and traits will apply.
- Use the heroic method for ability scores (2d6 and add 6). We will use average HP beyond first.
- Gunpowder will be allowed, but I will use the weapons and rules for that from the Pathfinder Freeport Companion Book.
- The Azhari alternative race from the Freeport Companion will be allowed.
- Please let me know what time zone you reside in.
- Players will be expected to post once a day during the week. Weekends and holidays are not expected but, hey, if you have the time!
- Please let me know if you own the Companion book are not.
- Deadline for PC submission is end of day this Friday, June 10th.

For now I am planning on running just this acclaimed adventure. After it is over, I'll see how much time I have and where to go from there. I am a patron on Open Design's "Streets of Zobeck" and "Dark Deeds in Freeport", so I may continue the PbP with an adventure out of one of those books when this one is over.

Alright, thank you for looking!

Putting my two cents in.

I reside in Central Standard Time here in the USA, which I think equates to GMT-6. As said before I don't own the Companion, though I suppose I could get it. I do like learning about new settings, and ok fine I'll go buy a pdf now. Expect something around Thursday, as that's my next day off. That'll give me plenty of time to read the book and put something together.

Thinking about making a Ranger, though I profess that anything calling itself a Gunslinger, etc, piques my interest. I'll get back to you.

Wandslinger, I wouldn't buy the book if you plan on playing a ranger. Plus, the book I am talking about is the Pathfinder Companion, which is basically the Pathfinder stats for using "The Pirate's Guide to Freeport", which is the setting-neutral campaign setting. If you plan on on making a base class PC or one from the APG, then you won't need any Freeport books.

I definitely don't want to make people go out and purchase anything just to play this PbP.


Woot! I have that book! =)

So, here's a character concept that didn't make it past the cut for another game.

Happy to push it up to second level. Let me know how okay you are with it.

Awesome, love the dialect! Could you roll your ability scores here and maybe add some additional background info? You can do that here, no need to update your character page at this time.

And we're all starting at 1st level. What about starting as a Survivor from the Pathfinder Companion instead of a fighter for your first level?


Okeys then.

I'll have to dig the book out of where ever I've put it last, to work out what Survivor does again.

Dice Rolls:

1)2d6 + 6 ⇒ (2, 3) + 6 = 11
2)2d6 + 6 ⇒ (4, 6) + 6 = 16
3)2d6 + 6 ⇒ (3, 2) + 6 = 11
4)2d6 + 6 ⇒ (5, 6) + 6 = 17
5)2d6 + 6 ⇒ (5, 3) + 6 = 14
6)2d6 + 6 ⇒ (2, 5) + 6 = 13

Meh, those scores are hardly heroic at all... :P

As fer me way o' speakin'...well some folks, they find it a tad hard t' take some time or t'other, so's I'll try not t' lay it on too thick, like. Ye ken? (^_~)

The survivor is a good unarmed combatant, has a d12 HD, but doesn't get armor proficiency. Just a suggestion, please be sure to make what you'd enjoy playing!

2d6 + 6 ⇒ (6, 2) + 6 = 14
2d6 + 6 ⇒ (3, 6) + 6 = 15
2d6 + 6 ⇒ (6, 5) + 6 = 17
2d6 + 6 ⇒ (1, 2) + 6 = 9
2d6 + 6 ⇒ (4, 4) + 6 = 14
2d6 + 6 ⇒ (6, 3) + 6 = 15


Oh...we add racial adjustments to the dice rolls, right?

Shall look through the book and have a squizz through the book and take a gander at all the classes on offer. =)

Hayo! I'm new to the site and am looking to join a game. I saw your ad for a Pbp and would like put put forth my character for consideration. Please note that I do not have the Freeport companion though I can acquire it easily Thursday if needed. I live in the central time zone and my character is a Kobold sorcerer of the Draconic bloodline. I am still new to this method of gaming. How exactly does it work?


Just dotting for now, since I do not have the book yet. I have ordered it but I doubt I'll get it before Friday. I have some older Freeport material, though, and love the setting.

The character in my mind is Dennick Onfrey, second son of an instrument-maker and notorious dreamer. One of his pipe-dreams is to find some magical way of bottling his own dreams and selling them for profit, but right now he is reduced to collecting stories and trying to find adventure to tell people about.

He's probably going to be a half-elven bard or possibly an inquisitor of Desna.

Yes, you would add/subtract racial abilities on top of the rolls, so those aren't bad numbers actually.

Not sure that would be a good fit in a pirate city.

Welcome to the boards! You do not need to purchase the Freeport Companion if you'd like to submit a base or core class. I'd say a halfling would be more suited for Freeport than a kobold.

Wow, that Organize ability sure has changed since the Noble's Handbook / Spirosblaak versions. I might be reading it wrong, but it seems wicked abusable, with the right sort of setup. Then again, it is the 'big thing' of the Noble class, so perhaps it should be pretty sexy...

In addition to the Azhari (which could make for an atypical Barbarian choice, with their strength-boosting racial ability), the Serpentfolk have PC-able stats in the monster section, and look pretty hot.

I don't have the time to add another PBP at this time, but, gosh, I do want to keep an eye on it, to see how the Noble, in particular, plays.


Pathfinder Adventure, Adventure Path Subscriber

I'm in the UK, don't have access to the Freeport book and post once a day or look in at least once a day. I've got a couple of 3.5 Freeport adventures, but know little more about it, other than the setting sounds very cool. This is a character that I just started to put together for a different game, but the entries closed before I could add her details. An elven female cleric of Calistra, (or maybe change her to an Oracle, but cleric was the first call.)

2d6 + 6 ⇒ (5, 1) + 6 = 12
2d6 + 6 ⇒ (1, 2) + 6 = 9
2d6 + 6 ⇒ (4, 2) + 6 = 12
2d6 + 6 ⇒ (4, 4) + 6 = 14
2d6 + 6 ⇒ (1, 1) + 6 = 8
2d6 + 6 ⇒ (1, 1) + 6 = 8

Karsielle:

It's not just treasure and pretty artifacts that make the men leave their ways and seek out fortunes. No, sometimes it's information and sometimes it's just a pretty face. Well, meet Karsielle an elven maiden, for she has both beauty and the ability to find out information that you'd rather keep hidden. Some say the pen is mightier than the sword, but Karsielle knows better, for it is the flop that protects you, that does your bidding that is mightier than both these, for there is an never ending supply of them, for creatures such as her.

Like the goddess she serves, her attentions though sensual and loving have a sting in the tail, if you're not careful. Many a man she has been loved and left to rot, their minds obsessed with her, like lapdogs they return, slaves for her company.

Now it is the turn of Freeport to feel her attentions, she can surely find the men to keep her clothed and fed with the finest the city can offer. She will surely find many who can provide her with the the cold information of power as she supplies the warmth of her love. For this in the stuff of power and wealth that she will eventually use to provide for her rich and varied needs. For her warmth has a price and it will be paid, one way or another.

Only a few know her history, and they are the secretive elves that sent her to Freeport, to follow and watch the comings and goings. They have their eye on Freeport, to what end, even Karsielle is not aware.

In short a freelance spy, but using magics to obtain the information she desires. She could just as easily be a sorcerer, but I like her with the domains of luck and lust(from the APG)

I'm away from Thursday to Monday this week.

I like the background, good job! Luck and lust will fit right in within Freeport.


Here he is! Hope he fits.

I would like to put my hat in the ring as well, I wanna make a Half-orc magus or a free hand fighter. Was going with a bounty hunter as well but seeing silas made one i'll kick up another idea with it.

Will get back to you with the character.


I'm not a huge fan of halflings. But I am interested in the Gunslinger class and aim to make one. He's going to be a Half-Elf Gunslinger.

Low-Light Vision See twice as far as a human in low light, distinguishing color and detail.

To DM Sinvel Menter:
HAving perused the book, I'm now actually thinking of 'Multi-classing'. Taking a level in one class and then alternating with a level in another.

The two classes? First will be the Noble' class. I do like some of the mechanics presented therein, with the second being the 'Corsair'. =)

Now, with me accent th' way t'is, all I'z got'a do is put in'a line some where.

I hope this game doesn't die out like some games I have been in lately.

I'm still asking what is up so far as race/class and how many players?

like do we need a cleric so I can make one or should I keep the summoner?


OK, here are my rolls:

2d6 + 6 ⇒ (1, 6) + 6 = 13
2d6 + 6 ⇒ (1, 3) + 6 = 10
2d6 + 6 ⇒ (2, 4) + 6 = 12
2d6 + 6 ⇒ (5, 1) + 6 = 12
2d6 + 6 ⇒ (6, 6) + 6 = 18
2d6 + 6 ⇒ (1, 4) + 6 = 11

If we don't get more players who set up a character with a good background we won't be able to start! C'mon, let's see some good stuff!

This is more of a investigation instead of a dungeon crawl, so having a cleric is not essential at all. I'd say just make a character that you'd enjoy playing.


I dont know anything about Freeport but Id love to hop in as a rogue. I dont have my book with me but can write up something later today. im in the EST and can post a couple of times a day during the week and a few times over the weekends.

They are not in order, you choose where to place them. Don't forget to add any racial modifiers also.

Arcane Investigation
Arcane Investigation wrote:
In addition, a detective's class spell list includes the following: 1st-detect chaos/evil/law/good; 2nd-zone of truth; 3rd-arcane eye, speak with dead, speak with plants; 4th-discern lies; 5th-prying eyes, stone tell; 6th-discern location, find the path, greater prying eyes, moment of prescience. A detective may add one of these spells or any divination spell on the bard spell list to his list of spells known at 2nd level and every four levels thereafter. This ability replaces versatile performance.

Armored Casting (Ex)

Armored Casting (Ex) wrote:
You can cast bard spells while wearing light armor and use a shield without incurring the normal arcane spell failure chance.

Bardic Performance

Bardic Performance wrote:
You are trained to use the Perform skill to create magical effects on those around you, including yourself if desired. You can use this ability for 14 rounds per day. Each round, you can produce any one of the types of bardic performance that you have mastered. Starting a bardic performance is a standard action, but it can be maintained each round as a free action. Changing a bardic performance from one effect to another requires the bard to stop the previous performance and start a new one as a standard action. A bardic performance cannot be disrupted, but it ends immediately if you are killed, paralyzed, stunned, knocked unconscious, or otherwise prevented from taking a free action to maintain it each round. You cannot have more than one bardic performance in effect at one time.

Bonus Feat

Bonus Feat wrote:
Humans select one extra feat at 1st level.

Cantrips

Cantrips wrote:
You have learned a number of cantrips, or 0-level spells. These spells are cast like any other spells, but they do not consume any slots and may be used again.

Careful Teamwork

Careful Teamwork (Su) wrote:
A detective uses performance to keep allies coordinated, alert, and ready for action. All allies within 30 feet gain a +0 bonus on Initiative checks, Perception, and Disable Device checks for 1 hour. They also gain a +0 insight bonus on Reflex saves and to AC against traps and when they are flat-footed. These bonuses increase by +1 at 5th level and every six levels thereafter. Using this ability requires 3 rounds of continuous performance, and the targets must be able to see and hear the bard throughout the performance. This ability is languagedependent and requires visual and audible components. This performance replaces inspire courage.

Countersong

Countersong (Su) wrote:
You can counter magic effects that depend on sound (but not spells that have verbal components). Each round of the countersong you make a Perform (keyboard, percussion, wind, string, or sing) skill check. Any creature within 30 feet (including yourself) that is affected by a sonic or language-dependent magical attack may use your Perform check result in place of its saving throw if, after the saving throw is rolled, the Perform check result proves to be higher. If a creature within range of the countersong is already under the effect of a noninstantaneous sonic or language-dependent magical attack, it gains another saving throw against the effect each round it hears the countersong, but it must use your Perform skill check result for the save. Countersong does not work on effects that don't allow saves. Countersong relies on audible components.

Dirty Fighter

Dirty Fighter wrote:
You wouldn't have lived to make it out of childhood without the aid of a sibling, friend, or companion on whom you could always count to distract your enemies long enough to do a little bit more damage than normal. When you hit a foe you are flanking, you deal an additional 1 point of damage (this damage is added to your base damage, and is multiplied on a critical hit). This additional damage is a trait bonus.

Distraction

Distraction (Su) wrote:
You can use your performance to counter magic effects that depend on sight. Each round of the distraction, make a Perform (act, comedy, dance, or oratory) skill check. Any creature within 30 feet (including yourself) that is affected by an illusion (pattern) or illusion (figment) magical attack may use your Perform check result in place of its saving throw if, after the saving throw is rolled, the Perform skill check proves to be higher. If a creature within range of the distraction is already under the effect of a noninstantaneous illusion (pattern) or illusion (figment) magical attack, it gains another saving throw against the effect each round it sees the distraction, but it must use your Perform skill check result for the save. Distraction does not work on effects that don't allow saves. Distraction relies on visual components.

Eye for Detail

Eye for Detail (Ex) wrote:
A detective gains a bonus equal to half his level on Knowledge (local), Perception, and Sense Motive checks, as well as Diplomacy checks to gather information (minimum +1). This ability replaces bardic knowledge.

Fascinate

Fascinate (Su) wrote:
You can use your performance to cause up to 1 creatures to become fascinated with you. Each creature to be fascinated must be within 90 feet, able to see and hear you, and capable of paying attention to you. You must also be able to see the creatures affected. The distraction of a nearby combat or other dangers prevents this ability from working. Each creature within range receives a Will save (DC 14) to negate the effect. If a creature's saving throw succeeds, you cannot attempt to fascinate that creature again for 24 hours. If its saving throw fails, the creature sits quietly and observes your performance for as long as you continue to maintain it. While fascinated, a target takes a -4 penalty on all skill checks made as reactions, such as Perception checks. Any potential threat to the target allows the target to make a new saving throw against the effect. Any obvious threat, such as someone drawing a weapon, casting a spell, or aiming a weapon at the target, automatically breaks the effect. Fascinate is an enchantment (compulsion), mind-affecting ability. Fascinate relies on audible and visual components in order to function.

Harry's Background:

Little Harry did not have an easy childhood, but who did? Sure, he got into a lot of sticky places, but his glib tongue and quick wit kept him out of a lot more. See, Harry had a knack for figuring people out. Once he knew what made a person tick, he could usually figure out a way to work it to his advantage.
When he wasn't getting himself out of trouble, he would build friendships and a reputation with his charm and talent; for Harry was not too shabby a musician, if he did say so himself. Once he got too old to busk for copper on the streets, he found a group of performers to throw in with. 'Bawdy Bill', the leader of the troupe, quickly became a role model for Harry, who soon began learning the secrets to some of Bill's magical repertoire.
Bill and his bunch would perform in various bars for their livings, and until he was 'stage-ready', Harry was only allowed to help set up for the acts, fetch cider and meals for the crew, and occasionally shill the crowd, if it wasn't lively enough. Bill promised one day he'd go on stage one day as 'Harry Northwind'; his purpose would have been to open the act for the rest of the troupe with his flute performances.

Things had been going okay for Harry. He had a steady income, a hopeful future, and ample opportunity to perfect his craft. Until one day he could find neither hide nor tail of Bill...

I'm in EDT (GMT -5), and I do not have the companion (so I don't know what the specific traits available are)


OK, a little over a day left to submit characters and so far we have 4 submissions (none using the classes offered in the Companion as of yet):

Karsielle (Deevor): Elven female cleric of Calistra
Silas Vayn (Wandslinger): Urban Ranger (Bounty Hunter)
Aislis (Shanosuke): Male Half-Elf Gunslinger Needs character background
Harold Tanner (Gruuuu): Male Human Bard (Detective)

I could give people through the weekend to submit characters if there is interest. Still hoping to get a few people to submit a class from the Companion.

Ahoy Sinvel! Mishael checking in. The Retribution just sailed into Freeport and Captain Flynn has given me 2 days shore leave or longer should I find distractions in town.

background:

Ailis Murkham was the son of a noble elf named Gurrion and his commoner human mistress. When his father found out about Ailis's birth, he had his mistress banished for Ailis was his only son. He kept Ailis and raised the boy as his heir. This went on until Ailis was 20 years old. Then his father had a son with his wife. Suddenly Ailis was a threat. His half-blood was hard to hide Gurrion now had a full elven son to take the mantle. He would have no competition so he framed Ailis for stealing from the family coffers and disowned him. Ailis fled, he wondered for a time and soon found himself raised by mercenaries. These mercenaries were experts at using firearms and they taught him as well. For four years he trained with them and worked with them. Eventually the mercs luck ran out. They got a job cleaning monsters out of a mine. They traveled to deep and a dragon attacked the band and wiped out all but Ailis and another merc named Henore. Henore took most of the possessions but left Ailis's master's revolver with him along with a couple hundred gold pieces. Now Ailis was on his own again. He had heard stories of the sea and Freeport was near so that is where he headed to find his next path.

Hope that's everything.

Sovereign Court

Hey Snivel, I’ve had to move this week but it will end tomorrow so I won't be able to finalize the character till late Friday night. My Idea is a half-elf bard (street performer) by the name Kazmir Voltiss, but many know him as "Bloody Flag" the merciless killer.

Kazimir's History:
Kazmir was a coward at heart starting early in his life. He had aspirations to be a great actor in the Chelix theaters but with a string of bad luck ended him aboard a slave ship heading to Freeport. During the trip the crew was attacked by a passing pirate ship. As the Slavers were being slaughtered Kaz found a way out of manacles and instead of saving his fellow slaves he did what he does best hide and hope no one finds him. Kaz still doesn't know what exactly happened to the invading party and the slavers but when he came out after the screaming had stopped they were all dead. Each one was torn apart; Kaz didn't know how to operate a ship and thought he would die at sea. Then on the horizon he see's another ship approaching the vessel and it seemed to be hostile. So Kazmir quickly acted, he gathered various clothing and armor from the slavers and pirates. He put together an evil looking out fit and covered himself in with the slaver's bloody flag and grabbed the most intimidating weapon there a bastard sword. As the pirate ship came aboard he sneaked over to the other ship and when the raiding party went aboard he appeared right behind them saying with a growl "What are you doing in my slaughter house." Somehow his acting paid off because none of the crew wanted to fight him, not even the Captain. They gave him passage to Freeport, and since then Kazimir has gone by two names, first is his own Kazmir Voltiss wandering performer that was the one who spread the legend of Bloody Flag. He mostly travels in the Bloody Flagg persona to avoid getting hurt and so far has been able to Intimidate his was through all of his fights. His confidence is higher but he still relies to much on Bloody Flag and still hasn't learned how to swing his sword. So that’s the basic concept let me know what you think of it. I will have the character made late Friday night.

No worries, Kazimir is in the running. No need for a complete character build at this point, I'm mainly looking at the class being played and the background story. Thanks!

Yes, sorry! I overlooked you. Good job.

OK great, this is shaping up! Looks like there is no need to extend the cutoff for submissions. We'll end it tonight and I'll let everyone know tomorrow. Thanks for the interest!


Out of curiosity, are there any campaign traits? And if so, how many traits are you wanting?

Yes, there are some Freeport traits that we can use here.

We'll use two traits. I like them so there aren't any restrictions on which to use, just as long as it makes sense for the character you are building.


Just stopping by to put in a good word for Roidrage and Shanosuke as I have had the pleasure of role playing with both of these fine players and they will make great addition to any game.

Eoidrage is a current player in my Hollow's Last Hope pbp and is very good about posting on a regular basis and has really gotten into the character which adds a lot to the game.

While Shanosuke is new to the boards I've known him in RL for over 10 years now and is a pleasure to game with both as a player and a GM. He has a firm understanding of the rules so as a DM you won't find many mistakes in what he does.

Dark Archive

I will have to decline the honor of playing this one, thank you for the chance to try.


Alright, here are the players who will be playing in this adventure:
