Hey all, got work in a bit so fluff will have to wait until the afternoon. Otherwise Rakus is good to go or rather watch, you guys do the going. :)

Greetings my bloody thirsty brothers and sisters. I am just dotting for the moment, have to run to work now, but I'll post when I get back.

Thank you for the opportunity to play GM.

Thank you GM for the selection, this like a fun campaign.

Gleefully rubs hands together.

Alias created, I'll clean up the crunch. I'll work on typing up the fluff and getting the campaign trait worked out.

I haven't purchased any equipment yet.

Here's Zaphani. She brings her own poison to every party! I'll have to make a tweek to her stats to reflect the ruling on saberes being finessable, though I think the rule is supposed to be that when two weaponining they're only -2/-2.

You might be right about that, but due to the flavor of this campaign I will just flat out make them able to benefit from weapon finesse.

I am glad to see you all here with your submissions, I should have the game up by tonight.

Yep, she's all set; everything's finished but her really important decisions, like whether she should bring 50 or 100' of rope.

Rakus and I might have some mandated level of hierarchical interaction however; the "church" of Achaekek is ill-defined, especially for a Lawful deity, and we're rather rarities, though Mediogalti is probably the only place it wouldn't be odd for us to both be found. Do you want us as players to figure that out, or are you providing us with it?

No worries, just had to move some stat points from STR back to DEX :).

Ok, crunch is complete and formatted. Please let me know if I have overlooked something.

Will get background written up ASAP.

This is the first time I have been in a game that was like 99% female characters. This should be fun.

I see some other Favoured Disciplies out there, we gonna have to fight it out for the top spot.

I usually try to play a female anyway, since they do tend to be so under-represented.

As an aside, where do you put your stats so they show up above your posts like that?

Edit: Whoops, wrong alias, lol

Yeah I was gonna make a guy but figured I hadn't played a female in awhile so this was the game.

Oh and you can put them in the Class line, after your class. That's how I did it.

I saw that, but thought maybe it just displayed there after being added somewhere else. It took me a while to find the right spot to edit an alias in the first place, since my logic told me it should have been under the "Edit" button...

Thanks!

In my case the Female character just won out in a three way race. The Vishkanya just sounded fun.

@Kayla: I don't mean to step on any toes, but it looks like you've got three traits, none of which is a campaign trait, and no drawback.

turncoat is the drawback

first line there says start with two traits one must be campaign trait or the campaign drawback grants a third trait

and I see the error as well... never identified turncoat as the drawback

Rakus plans on going into the city for the first day, anyone headed that way to?

I have cities of golarion so I may as well make use of the information. ;)

I do not own that supplement just so you know. Additionally, I may have made it unclear, but for the three days of celebration you will be basically on one of the tiers of the citadel, the "Pleasure" tier. That is what the Sivlamlik is. The road from the Citadel to the City is dangerous, so you might want to wait until day 4 to go with your companions.

While you're both right here though, should our two characters have some kind of religious interactions? We're both part of the church, after all.


Male Human (Azlanti) Wizard 1 / Cleric of Achaekek 2

Opps my bad thought going to the city's festival was an option. Oh well plenty to do in the crimson castle. ;)

@Areum
Rakus won't know every member of the clergy so feel free to bump into him or what not. It's kinda red mantis central so nothing makes ether of us stand out really. Rakus is not of notable rank or achievement, besides maybe being recruited but even that may not be uncommon or of note outside the novices or newcomers. Depends on how you want to play it. For my part Rakus has some experience working for the mantis sense his recruitment but because he specializes in support and logistics rather then direct assassination his reputation, if any, should be underrated at best. Hope that helps.

Sounds good to me. I don't expect we'd know each other, at least not well, but my musings were more along the lines of church structure. Lawful religions tend to have a dileneated hierarchy, and while Inquisitors are known to operate outside of those bounds, it might still be helpful to have an idea of a "ranking system" as it were. Since it's not defined, the GM (and us, as members of the clergy) can do whatever. If it's never going to matter, I'm fine with ignoring it, but if some GMachination uses it, we'd probably know how it works.


Male Human (Azlanti) Wizard 1 / Cleric of Achaekek 2

Posted in game at last. I figured may as well start light before things get heavy with the blood and scheming. Not that being a skirt chaser changes anything, Achaekek does not pick fools and simpletons, same goes for the blood mistress. ;D

@Areum
Well if you want them to have a ranking then personally I would say Rakus is above you slightly. Seeing as we can't compare "levels" we can go by knowledge and position. Priest are above inquisitors sense they are a god's conduit and will in the mortal world while inquisitors are more like tools and enforcers. As for knowledge in this case Rakus knows more then Areum, so it's kinda two for two in his favor. But if you have a counterpoint I more then willing to listen. Being lawful means taking a back seat sometimes, so hardly the first or last for Rakus. :)

That works for me as well. I can only see it mattering if it came down to a follower of Achaekek listening to one or the other of us, should we be in disagreement, and since we are generally assassins and not churchgoers, it likely won't ever matter.

Rakus, the Detects are at-will spell-like abilities; you can't Spellcraft them. Should've made that clear, my bad.

Unless I'm reading the entry incorrectly, or imposing a 3.5 rule on Pathfinder, that is. If that's the case, then I don't use those; I clearly would know better than to stand there and cast four spells.

Spell-Like Abilities:
Usually, a spell-like ability works just like the spell of that name. A spell-like ability has no verbal, somatic, or material component, nor does it require a focus. The user activates it mentally. Armor never affects a spell-like ability's use, even if the ability resembles an arcane spell with a somatic component.

Spellcraft:
Identifying a spell as it is being cast requires no action, but you must be able to clearly see the spell as it is being cast, and this incurs the same penalties as a Perception skill check due to distance, poor conditions, and other factors.

Oh, and I don't want character relations to cross over into OOC relations; I don't imagine a LE Inquisitor having much respect for a LN Cleric. Consider the relationship between a Paladin of Iomedae and a NG Cleric of her. Less open hostility, but a fundamentally different understanding of how their Goddess operates.

In other words, nothing personal!


Male Human (Azlanti) Wizard 1 / Cleric of Achaekek 2

Sorry never had a inquisitor use their detect on my PCs before. At least I don't think. But to be fair you would not like what Rakus would have thought had you stared at him for so long without apparent reason. Third eye or not. xP

Also sense it was just a one word thought it can be ignored in the post. Yeah that or I am to lazy to edit at the moment, if the time limit has not expired that is. :)

@Rakus- Haha, true! But, I mean...I still think of her as a sort of Paladin. She'll not be too grating after they all get to know each other, but she's gotta do her job.

@Kayla- In that case, happy anniversay! And if I'm ever down in Palm Beach, I'll check it out! My high school went to Italy during my senior year; gelato is amazing.

Hey Gathrix, what level to you expect to take this to?


I no limit really. I have a basic outline in my head that should take you to lvl 6 on this island. After that things get really interesting and some of you might be full Red Mantis Assassins by then, tasked with going off island.

That being said I am going to level up a bit fast. I am thinking about doing 1 level per 3 encounters(including encounters stealthed or talked out of). I did that in another PbP and it was probably my most successful.

When we level I like to do an AAR (After Action Review-Military thing) were I grant bonuses to people that meet certain criteria. Best Roleplayer, Voted MVP by other players, ect. I might use Hero Points for that, not sure yet.


Male Human (Azlanti) Wizard 1 / Cleric of Achaekek 2

Rakus won't get his MT on til 7th level so I hope we get there at least. ;)

My follow-up then:

It seems rather apparent that if the party is kept together, five of us are going to jamming together, circling around to share flanking and all that.

I was wondering if there would be any qualms about me taking a 5 level dip (is it dip when it's the majority?) into Exemplar Brawler? Somewhere in there would be one more Inquis. level. Could fluff it as Achaekek granting me the wisdom of his strikes, or something, haven't thought it out yet.

It also goes well with the "preacher" thing I've got going.

No problem Zaphani. And if that is something you are interested in Weon that is fine with me.
