DOT
I have added player tokens to the Town Map.
Camlo can you please select a different picture for your character Bhoor's the ranger already has that one. Thank You.
RUthviren, ready to go.
New map with Ruthviren token added.
Hello.
Game is Back on!!!
Here is the list of Character that have been sent to me:
Storyteller Shadow - Farid Heydar Human Barbarian
Mellowgoth - Ruthviren Etiole - Human Fighter
Corsovia - Camlo Slavik - Human Sorcerer
Kenderkin - - Half Orc Paladin
Bhoors Thistledown - Human Ranger
I will look them over this weekend and ask for adjustments if needed.
This group is very melee heavy and has not skill monkey or healing which could make this a very hard adventure.
If you guys are still up for it I'll have the campaign info page setup by Sunday and start the game Monday. I will open the Gameplay thread now so you guys can roleplay coming to town and meeting each other.
Melee heavy is right!!! No one will get to our squishy.
I see that Camlo and I have the same picture I will switch.
Thanks Bhoors for changing pics.
I have added a link to the Current Map just above my Pink Picture for easy use for anyone. There will also be a Current Map link in the Campaign Info Page near the top.
I have a friend that with a Cleric/Sorcerer that will be joining the party after the first adventure. This should help with the lack of healing.
Now the group just has to make it thru the first adventure....MAH MAH MAH MAH!!!!
I put a post into the game-play thread based on coming into town and about where I am going currently. First to find street meat (a street vendor selling meat on a stick) and then to the temple.
DMG: I made that local cleric my "aunt" in the background I sent you, so I assume it is all correct/Kosher (unlike street-meat!)
I also moved myself into town....
It looks like Auxavier, Bhoors, and Ruthviren are all locals. Ruthviren is about 18, and returning to town after three years.
Do we know each other? Heard of each other? Know each other's families (or what's left of them) about town? How would you like to play it?
I'll give everyone's background another read - please feel free to dig into mine.
Game on!
Dm Giants, any objection to calling the house on which I've placed Ruthviren's token, on the map, his sister Asilane's place?

Bhoors and Auxavier seem to have likely crossed paths working in the woodcutter industry. Bhoors is 27 I am only 19, and Ruthviren might be more memorable to me being close to the same age.
I will also dig through the histories and see what makes sense.
Also we might consider asking the DM to use this Link
A list of four hirelings that could go into the wilds with us (NPC's) one of them does provide a little healing......
Farid is a new arrival and likely would not know anyone. I do plan on multixlassing as a Rogue so I will be part melee part skills monkey.
Looking at the backgrounds of Ruthviren and Auxavier and living in a community as small as Falcon Hollow is we like of each other and likely seen each other often.
Looking at Auxavier I see he lost his dad to the consortium. Bhoors lost his dad when he was growing up too. I mentioned in his background that he was mentored by a few men, one of those men could very easily been Auxavier's father. His death would likely have been recent. So Auxavier's dad would have been a little older than Bhoors looking after him and when he was murdered leaving his son a little younger than Bhoors I think it would be very likely that Bhoors would feel compelled to look after Auxavier. As for Ruthviren him coming back would be curious in the "who comes back to this dump" kinda way but his age would make him prime candidate for Auxavier's old friend who is back in town.
I could see Auxavier as an old friend, or as someone the people raising Aux disaproved of: brawling with his father in the street, running off at 15, etc.
I would guess that, at the least, we've heard each other's names or family names.
Small towns are funny places. I could see Ruthviren being one of the kids parents warned you not to play with but everyone completely understood fighting his dad considering the history.
@ Ruthviren - I have mark the house as your sisters.
@ Auxavier - Thanks for the link I'll look it over.
However you guys would like to know each other is fine with me. I'll read the histories this weekend.
Try reading the description of the town so you guys can get a lay of the land.
I have Updated the Current Map.

This is DM Giants.
Please make a stat line above your picture like the one on this character. I want Hit Points (HP), Armor Class (AC) - both Flat footed and Touch AC, Initiative (Init.), All 3 Saving Throws Fort. Will. and Relex., Sense Motive (SM), Combat Maneuver Bonus (CMB), Combat Maneuver Defense (CMD), and Speed.
This will be the minimum that I want to see but you can add more like spells per day or special abilities.
Thank You.
Please try moving your Token and Updating the Current Map and posting it in a post like this.
Will do, whenever I move my token it seems to move back for some reason...
@ Farid- Try using Chrome instead of Internet Explorer it will help.
I use Firefox. Will try Chrome when I have a second.

Hi!

That is always a good trait. Going first in battle is very nice.
...Testing...
I was able to move my piece but I don't see an option to save the map. When I go back to the link it reverts back.
I can move my token in the map. I'll do the profile and "status bar" tomorrow.

Move your token then hit Enter on your keyboard. The map program will create a new website address with the updated movements. Then take the new website address from the internet address bar and paste it into your link.
Current Map
It seems to work...
Works.
OK, now I go it.
Ok, I have gone over the characters and below are some of the correction that I see need to be done.
-------------------------
Ruthviren - Good
Rarid - Good
Camlo - (Knowledge) Planes is not a class skill for you and you have to many skill bonus in it.
Bhoors - Your ability point buy is 3 points high.
Auxavier - Your ability point buy is 2 points high. We are not using non Core racial traits so City-Raised Half-Orcs need to be changed back to Half-Orc weapon familiarity. All weapons and armor need to be out of the Core Rule Book.
You also have Additional Traits Feat which is not Core, but I will allow because it make up most of your character.
------------------------
The sooner these are corrected the sooner we can start the game.
Thanks Everyone.
The Arcane Bloodline gives you an extra knowledge Class skill.
I lowered the 14 STR to 13 for -2 points.
I lowered the 10 CHA to 9 for -1 points. One of my teeth must be yellowing and I have a visible corded scar just above the collar of my shirt. Sure it looks tough but . . .
@ Camlo - Thank You Sir I missed that.
@ Bhoors - Thank You Sir nice description of stat changes.
No problem, I didn't remember that either.
@Bhoors - remeber to adjust all your skills and things that are affected by your change in ability stats. One I saw was your Initiative which states +4 but should be a +3. Thank You

I knew I missed something.
I will be at a client site tomorrow and unable to post until late in the evening, please DMPC me as needed.

How close do think Bhoors and Aux are? I mean have we run into each other or are you practically my younger brother?
Maybe cousins (from the same community) that disagree on the way to do things. Bhoors being more practical as a ranger and the younger Aux being more idealistic as a paladin.
That works.
Funny thing you just came back from worg hunting and I just got back from goblin hunting......
DM: My character is updated!

It looks like we are saying that Bhoors (27) is my older cousin and we are from the same community on the outskirts of Falcon's Hollow. You would be more likely I think to remember Auxavier who is 19 than Bhoors. The same or a neighboring community fits well, though the dysfunctional family system might not have been allowed within the community.
Bhoors and I disagree on lots of things, him being a Ranger and me a paladin should lead to some interesting interactions.
Lets say, then, that Auxavier and Ruthviren knew each other casually - not particularly close, but no real problems with each other. Auxavier might have noticed that Ruthviren wasn't around any more about three years ago, and probably picked up enough to know that he left, not that he died suddenly in the Hollow.
I have read all the backstories for each character and this is what I came away with from them.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Auxavier - Father murdered by the Lumber Consortium and is now hiding out in the Temple of Iomedea with his friend/aunt Cirthana.
I like this it links you to a cleric for training and a God's dogma to follow. Your Disguise skill will be helpful to move around town without getting noticed by the Lumber Consortium Thugs
Bhoors - being mentored by other men in the town.
I like this because like you guys said above in the thread it can easily link you to Auxaviers father as your mentor. Which I think is a great idea. Now you both have a great reason to hate the Lumber Consortium.
Ruthvieren - Just widowed sister and a broken down father in town.
I really liked your background. It links you instantly to the town and give you a reason to adventure for glory and riches. It is also easy to link you and Auxavier's back story because you two are near the same age. I was thinking that you two where childhood friends that lost touch after your mother's death. An easy friendship to rekindle.
Camlo - wanderer in from far of place.
Not much to work with but a clean state to build from.
Farid - traveler from out of town that has been thru a mess of trouble and has a very large score to settle.
I like this because I can side in a quest or two for the group to help you track, find and deal with Amin Sattar.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Tell me what you guys think and we can solidify the character connections.
Thank You everyone this is all good stuff. I will look over the characters one last time and then post the Beginning Gameplay post for the first adventure.
@ Auxavier - you still have your Boarding axes. Please change those to normal hand axes.
