Razor Coast

Game Master Luis Loza

So it begins. Before anything else, I'll have to ask if you would be willing to provide an email. I can send you a link to the setting primer that I've prepared.

While we're getting up to speed on that, I will fill you in on how things are starting. You are all sellswords on the Minerva's Joy, a ship owned by merchant Selman Pilter. You are on a return voyage from Absalom, jewel of the Inner Sea. The sales went well and Selman is very content. It's been three months since you've left Absalom and are almost home to Port Shaw on the Razor Coast, located in southern Arcadia. Your contract with Selman is up upon arrival, leaving you to your own devices once you're home.

I'll have a gameplay thread very soon.

First of all thanks for selecting me!

Gameplay thread is go!

While I'm at it, I need to clear up a few things.

First, combat. For combat, did you want to go on individual initiatives or would you prefer to do a block initiative based on what the highest number was? Did you prefer a more narrative combat or did you ened a grid?

Also, I'll be blunt about the adventure a bit with you. The idea is that the adventure is a sandbox, so there will be plenty of scenes, NPCs, and other hooks sprinkled throughout. If anything catches your attention, feel free to try to look into it. You never know what you may find.

The idea is that eventually you'll find things relevant to your character or your group's interest. If you want to become rich sea pirates, find things that help you in that. If you'd rather go liberate every slave in the region, go for it. Find your motiviation and work towards it. Soon enough, you may find adventure or it may find you!

OK, quick question before I set up the alias. Since Duardo was initially thought as a Taldori, should I change his name back and have him coming from there? It will root him better in golarion...

Not that it matters Airon87, was just curious why u took arcane strike as a caster?

Sure thing.

however you want to do things on the initiative gm. sending email to you via private message now.

For the document I'm sending, you don't need to read everything, but I would ask that you read the history of the Razor Coast and the history of Port Shaw. Read everything else at your leisure.

it made me sign into gmail account and I had to send a request.

I took polygot as one of my languages.. is it going to be used any or should I take one from the primer?

Looks like an all chaotic or neutral grp, save Djulla.. We must convert u and become legendary pirates! lol Although i suppose CG could be a pirate, just not the standard pillage, steal, murder pirate..

Edit: Opps i didnt see your archetype.. yous already a pirate!

List of needed things:
1-Pirates: Check
2-Boat:
3-Crew:
4-Booty:

my character is good because she doesn't like to kill and tries to convince others to not fight lol... a pirate with a kind heart that is more concerned with finding old and ancient treasure and artifacts

5-Sidekick: Monkey named Goku, Check

lol.. I almost took parrot.

on a side note it looks like I'm the healer of the group. good thing the rest of my levels im going bard and arcane trickster

edit: on another side note, how available are guns? are they rare, uncommon, or common place?

The alchemist can cast and use sure spells as well, but it indeed looks like we'll be wand healing for the most part, which works just fine..

well I got a wand right now so we set atm. I can cast 2nd lvl spells in 2 lvls

edit: on another side note, how available are guns? are they rare, uncommon, or common place?

Common place.

Common place.

ok then.. so is it

Commonplace Guns: While still expensive and tricky to wield, early firearms are readily available. Instead of requiring the Exotic Weapon Proficiency feat, all firearms are martial weapons. Early firearms and their ammunition cost 25% of the amounts listed in this book, but advanced firearms and their ammunition are still rare and cost the full price to purchase or craft.

taken from Ultimate Equipment.

was curious cause I had thought about taking a feat to get a hold of a pistol instead of hand xbow unless you think the pirate archtype of rogue would already have that under the list of usable weapons *wink*

Not that it matters Airon87, was just curious why u took arcane strike as a caster?

Because I am quite bad at building casters (at building in general - I usually come up with a role-playing concept and build the crunch together with my GM), and Rhous/Duardo went through three builds - one used a rapier with arcane strike. Arcane strike was there as a vestigial feat. I changed it.

I settled for the full caster one, but I was just this close to the "wizard with a gun"... I think I'll develop him in that direction.

Anyway, he dislikes fighting too. He's quite good at stopping ships and charming people though.

Yup that's the one. Shipping across the sea to the Inner Sea is costly, so that's why it's only a local thing.

read the primer and need to change my skills up a bit so I can have perform(strings) and to buy a fiddle. and im going to sell a couple things to buy a pistol since its at 25% of normal cost. so that's 250g for a pistol correct?

edit: taking 1 skill from climb and switching it to Perform(oratory) and moving the 5 skills from Perform(oratory) to Perform strings

edit 2: had 15g; selling hand crossbow +100g selling bolts(20) +4g, selling spyglass +1000g

new gold 1119

if the cost is 25% of guns and ammo(bullets, powder)

added masterwork instrument -100g.
added masterwork pistol -550g
added firearm bullets(30) -7g 5s
added powder hornx3 -9g
added powder(dose)x30 -75g
added gunsmith's kit -30g
added cure light wounds potionsx6 -300g

new gold 47g 5s

Just fine. That's what this little return voyage segment is for, to give you all chance to read up on the setting and change accordingly.

Hey Donato, i was wondering if you would allow me to use piranha strike feat with my scimitar? it says light weapons, but i use a scimitar as a finessable, sorta light weapon.. Just wondering.. It would allow me to swap points into wisdom from str for better prof. sailor.. if not its cool though.

As someone who convinced my GM to do the same, I give my seal of approval.

Cool, thanks.. Ill make the changes.

sorry to ask again but about polygot? should I keep it or take a different language from the primer? also I edited that post again and my profile for the pistol and fiddle

Ok changes made, Rhous u see that pm i sent u about my necromancer?

For Techpotizil!

lol edit again one thing minus 1 rank from disable device and add 1 rank to Perform(dance).. adding to background later about a character called Lindsey "Devil Blessed" Stirling, a human bard who is an expert at the craft that taught Djulla.

Lindsey Stirling

Deliver Touch Spells (Su): If the master is 3rd level or higher, a familiar can deliver touch spells for him. If the master and the familiar are in contact at the time the master casts a touch spell, he can designate his familiar as the “toucher.” The familiar can then deliver the touch spell just as the master would. As usual, if the master casts another spell before the touch is delivered, the touch spell dissipates... hehe he can run around during the chaos and i can use him to deliver touch spells when I level up once more.

So it begins. Before anything else, I'll have to ask if you would be willing to provide an email. I can send you a link to the setting primer that I've prepared.

Sorry for taking so long to answer, it was a long day at work.

Thank you for selecting me, I hope we have a great game.

Oh yes, and my craracter is Valaravans, the Half Orc Cook

First, combat. For combat, did you want to go on individual initiatives or would you prefer to do a block initiative based on what the highest number was? Did you prefer a more narrative combat or did you ened a grid?

I am not very experienced in Play by Post, but I think block initiative and narrative combat should be faster... and in this case faster is better!

The alchemist can cast and use sure spells as well, but it indeed looks like we'll be wand healing for the most part, which works just fine..

Valaravans will help with the healing, making soup for all to use (Heal potions ;) )

I'll finish Valaravans sheet ASAP and create a profile for him... Weekend tops.

where is Moctezuma? lol

For Techpotizil!

Ok, a bit of an etiquette problem.

I'll refer to my fellow sailmates as "master", but should I use a different title for women? English is my second language, and in school I think I missed the lesson about how to be polite and official among mixed gender pirates.

to Rhous, "Miss"?

I think I'm going to take off polygot because idk if it'll be used in this campaign I had it on there because this character was submitted originally for a S&S campaign and add one of the tribal languages to fit the campaign a little more...

Rhous, Miss or since yall are on a first name basis Zaria will do..

No, the point is that at first Rhous is formal, even if everyone else isn't.

Miss it is anyway.

Yes, my Dark Master.. I mean alrighty Miss Robertson, or Miss Zaria will do fine..

Exciting!

On init. Whatever is good for u I didn't know the rules for if pets are normally seperate.. in my games to save time I kept it the same as the master

Oh Master my Master, I need to ask something...

The rules state that "Salty" Valaravans starts with at least 8 level 1 and 2 level 2 alchemical formulae. But he can learn more from spellbooks and scrolls.

So he could have learn a trick or two from Rhous and Moctezuma. Or from previous travels. Or we can say he bought some scrolls to learn.

What do you say? How many formulae will he have?

Sorry to ask until know...

Any formulas you want to add you purchased as scrolls at character creation. You guys weren't buddies just yet, so you didn't pick any up from your allies yet. However, you'll be able to do so anytime now.

I want to have your blessing in the formulaes I want to buy. 17 first level scrolls (25gp each) and 6 second level scrolls (150gp each), for 1325 gp total.

All of those don't change the fact Valaravans can only make 5 level 1 and 3 level 2 extracts each day.

Are you ok with it?

Think I got Valaravans equipment ready. Can you check if I did a mistake, or bought (and crafted) too much?

It all looks fine to me.

I've also created a document for me to provide information such as maps, handouts, etc. i've sent you all a link via email. Right now it only has a map of the Razor Coast and a picture of the serpent. More will be added later of course!

Looks good, you draw that?
