Checking in. This character has been a GM baby since about 2nd level, so I have A LOT of shopping to do.
Also FYI for the GM, Obyrn just made the free Season 6 faction change from GL to the Exchange.
And in case anyone is interested:
Type: Thief (skirmisher)
Obyrn is fast striker and a faster talker. He'll be polite and diplomatic when he has to, but if he can lie his way out of a bind he will do so. In battle, he looks for the enemy's weak spots, always skirting around the main fight to get behind. When he can't do that, he'll feint to present a frontal attack but quickly turn it into a surgical strike. Occasionally, he'll throw in a casting of truestrike. Obyrn also has eyes like a hawk and a good deal of experience with spotting, disabling, and/or dodging traps, so it's a good idea to let him go first and do the scouting.
When not on a mission or squeezing a mark, Obyrn is a hard and fairly taciturn man with few words and even fewer hobbies, other than stealing from rich folk who waste their money anyways. He's loyal to his friends, surprisingly indifferent to gold (but not entirely so), and ruthless to his enemies. Especially the Aspis. He hates those guys.
"Suburrae" translates from the Latin as "of the Suburra," the run-down slums of ancient Roma.
Obyrn is not one to talk about his past, but it's more interesting than even he knows. The unwitting victim of one of Taldor's many acrimonious aristocratic rivalries, Obyrn was orphaned at a very young age when his parents were both killed in duels. The victors, of a rival family, took no pity on him and cast him to the curb when they took over his parents' estate. A passing traveler came upon the starving boy on the road and took him as far as the vagabond camp by Oppara before continuing on his way. There, among the great huddled masses of Oppara's poorest citizens, Obyrn scratched out a living for himself over the next fifteen years. His earliest memories are of pitying strangers throwing him scraps, but as he grew in age and strength, those years became marked more by self-sufficiency and then taking rather than receiving. Obyrn delighted most in stealing, by hand or by tongue, from the opulent nobles in Oppara proper, finding their lifestyles (which he might once have shared) to be beyond contempt. Despite a relatively comfortable living compared to others in the camp, young Obyrn itched to get away from Oppara and see something new. Tales reached him, of course, of the City at the Center of the World, and eventually Obyrn patched together enough catch to buy passage to see its wonders. In Absalom, his living barely changed, but the location made all the difference to him. Eventually he was invited to join the Pathfinder Society (after the Society discovered a string of successful thefts against Aspis Consortium spies in the city). His Confirmation involved several more such thefts, during the last of which Obyrn was nearly caught but for a well-timed thrust of the decorative longspear he grabbed off the wall. His loyalty to the Society runs as deep as his hatred of the unscrupulous and wasteful Aspis, who he has skillfully hunted all across Varisia and the Hao Jin Tapestry, but the considerable mercantile skill he developed in his youth (what he stole wasn't food, after all) has recently become quite useful to Trade Prince Aaqir al'Hakam and his establishment of the Exchange. Obyrn hopes to ensure that the wealth generated by that enterprise generally comes to benefit the Society, but he doesn't mind lining his own pockets at the same time.

I'm stealing that for my character's posts in Check-In, just so you know.
Go for it! I have one for all my characters; it helps with managing the 'randomness' of PFS tables.
Obyrn is now up to date and ready to go. He has done his shopping (unless there's something he wants post-briefing and there's time).

Baldwyn was Taldan, now belonging to Sovereign Court.
Also, I do apologize. I just updated my Paizo profile to current level; 7. Hope that doesn't throw off the APL too terribly.
Baldwyn Doucas |
Is that who we're waiting on? Strange. He's usually so johnny-on-the-spot with recruitments and startings. At least for VTT games. Don't think I've played a PbP with him yet.
Narvik Drak |
Sior, maybe not as a player. no. You have DMed Darvik and then The Confirmation now Murder's Mark. Sorry I'm late but I obviously found a way to miss the original casting call for this one.
The only guy I have available in-tier is this oracle, so he'll have to find his sea-legs.

Hey everybody,
A heads up: I have just accepted a new position that will have me working an estimated 12 hours a day, seven days a week, for the next two months. My posting frequency is definitely going to drop but I'm gonna do my very, very best to make sure I am posting at least once per day. However, I will be traveling to my new location Monday through Wednesday and may be entirely unable to post during that time. (I'll try, but I can't make promises.)
I hope my absence won't be troublesome; Bold Strider is welcome to bot me if need be (my full stat-block is on my character page).
Cheers,
Andrew/Obyrn

Head's up, I will be on holiday with the family from Wednesday 10/8 through Sunday 10/12. Taking the family to Disneyland, the beach and horseback riding amongst other activities. I'll likely still be able to check in and post in the evenings.

Faction: The Exchange
Day Job: (Thieves' Guild Vanity) Sleight of Hand: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23
Looks right to me. Thanks again Maaarv for the help.
Weaver, a Pathfinder |
Aww, you guys. You're gonna make me cry. =)
Baldwyn Doucas |
It's only happened once or twice before, I think, but never for this long. Interestingly, Baldwyn's a fighter but he knows when he's outnumbered, so going along with those gents is right in character for him. (Besides, he couldn't have possibly out-run them...)
Baldwyn Doucas |
Hey, I caused some rampant death nd destruction there at the end. No worries.
Thanks for running!

I did indeed! Man, this one was quite the rollercoaster. Thank you for running Bold!
And thanks also to the rest of the party. Steadfastness and bravery abounded amid very trying situations.
