Here's the discussion page for Red Team. Go ahead and introduce each other.

Hello Red Team...
Fendahl, appears to be a half-elf with a hint of wild in his appearance, especially his silvery hair and sideburns. His leather armor has bits of wood and covered with markings from the far East.
Closeby, there is a cougar that follows Fendahl closely, watching for commands or an occasional treat from his companion.

Ho there! Name's Degwyn, how goes?
Degwyn is a young man from Almas, capital city of Andoran. Nothing stands out as particularly special about the man, his long dark hair is pulled back in a pony tail, his happy young face is without scars. He seems like a curious young human come to Absalom in an attempt at fame and fortune.
He bears the resemblance of a stereotypical wall guard, wearing chainmail, a blue tabbard, a shortsword on his left hip and a glaive perched on his right shoulder. Despite the length of his weapon he handles it with very good awareness, minding doorways, overhangs and innocent bystanders.

Right, guess I better do a better introduction to my character then!
Vors is a youth from Oppara, capital of Taldor, and looks far more human than elven through his heritage - his agility tends to give notice, though. Dark hair and bright-eyed, he seems far too arrogant for his own good.
He's very much the spit of the society he hails from, having learned their style of rondolero, and otherwise wears the gear of a man who is surely not in poverty. If noticed, his falcata has a symbol of his family engraved into the base of the blade, while the hilt has a slight curve to it.
So! That's all of us, then?
Unless Corel makes a post today, I'll see if Gristav still wants in. Either way 5 or 6 should be fine. Feel free and start in the Gameplay thread, I won't have you all enter the Tapestry until I get a definite answer either way on the 6th spot.
All right, I haven't head from Corel, so I'll offer the last spot to Gristav. If it wasn't clear, Jory is blue team just to confirm.
I put a link to the map in the short description, so should be able to link to it from any page.
At the top you'll see the campaign title
GM Xzaral's PFS Temple of Empyreal Enlightenment - Red Team
Game Master Xzaral
Underneath that, but above the campaign tabs, is a link called The Temple of Empyreal Enlightenment. That's the link
When it comes down to it, if people don't mind others moving them on the map, it's fine. It's mostly during combats that it becomes an issue.
As far as exploring goes, if people wish to go off by themselves and explore on their own, it's fine.
This adventure is very sandboxy. It really is up to you all to drive it. If someone doesn't want to eat dinner and would rather explore while others do, then please do so. Also remember this is a holiday weekend (at least in America), so a few people might not be available (the other team is missing at least two already for it).

Oh, so you mean, if you want to split the party, we're welcome to do so?
I really didn't think there was a sandboxy PFS scenario. I'm far too used to 3.5's Living Greyhawk to know any better, so, it's good to see some variety.
Also, while we don't have a diplomat, if we can just ease our way through social situations, we might be okay. It's when combat starts that we're going to get hectic, I wager.
Yeah, it's also DragonCon weekend, so there's even more people missing.
Let me rephrase abit. This is sandboxy for a PFS scenario. You have tasks to be accomplished (given early on). It's up to you on how to go about and solve them.
As far as the social situations go, don't get me wrong it sucks not to have one. But it's not like you need diplomancy checks to say hello to people. Good role-play goes a long way. Diplomacy is mostly necessary if you a) need to change someone's attitude; or b) convince someone to do something.
I unfortunately have to step out of this. My time is not what it was as I got a new job, and it's going to cut into every bit of it more than it already. I apologize for the inconvenience, and wish you all the best.
Just a reminder that Vors did indeed step out of the game.
For now, consider him not to be here.

(Gris begins, 'we wouldn't want to disturb you...')
But as we have, and as there are still pending questions, I regret that, I have to ask them. Before I attend your service myself. If you'd prefer... no, I'm sure you'll want them asked and answered now, in front of the congregants." Gristav tilts his head to just barely deny a glimpse of Dakang's eyes beneath the brim of his hat, then nods as though in agreement.
"I'll be brief. The font is dry, the garden overgrown, the food, 'provided'. Was it always thus? The statues are not on display, boards over the doors. Texts in the library have been altered, or lost, in a pattern that suggests a sinister influence. When did this happen? The gardener plays at poisonous carnival games with the digits of the disciples, and when pressed, declares you... at best, a Koradan apostate, and his accomplice, and at worst... well, that's the real question. That will need to be answered before I sit to your service."
... but everybody's waiting for the next shoe to drop. Or lotus, not to drop? So I didn't.
Seriously, what? When did we hear about lotuses? And what's up with the stitching, that's got you itching? Following your lead, here; tell me you've got a compass. Or a pathfinder? :)
If it's too meta to ask, just don't answer. I'll be fine. Maybe dead, but still, you know, fine.
I'm having a blast. Thanks, Xzaral, and all.
The ceiling of the chapel is 30' up, the balcony itself is 15' up. There is a small raised section and a podium which would grant Dakang cover from attacks below.
Added a Balor token to the garden. Enjoy :P
