Though he hadn't mentioned it to anyone so as to not cause undue panic, it seemed the rumors were true: a gnoll had mustered the forces of the numerous tribes and now had Kelmarane — and possibly beyond! — in-sight.</p>
<p>Momentarily oblivious to both Paige's inquiry and Yazi's subtle innuendo, the bard was oddly silent, quipless and lost in his own thoughts, at least for the time being. This was serious; arguably more so than Yazi and the some of the others seemed to give credit. Though he had had little experience with gnolls first-hand, Amir knew all too well that the beasts were a bickering bunch. For a leader to not only rise out of their ranks but manage to amass the dog-faced curs into a formidable force as not only awe-inspiring, but utterly <i>terrifying...</i> and it showed. Katapesh was Amir's home, distant though he felt here; to see it in peril more than ruffled a few of his feathers, whilst the haunting allure of unseen danger weighed heavily on his own heart.</p>
<p>Blinking hard, Amir returned to his senses, an almost palpable air of gloom and concern shedding from his facial expression as he returned his attention to the druidess.</p>
<p><b>"What? Oh. Right. Yeah. Fussy'll come along. Might need her..."</b></p>
<p>Amir trailed off for a moment, before turning a stern gaze to the bejeweled traveler of Serenrae. He had only one question on his mind...</p>
<p><b>"How long ago did you have this dream, Father? How long has it been since you've heard any news of the Carrion King's movements?"</b> inquired the Pathfinder. It wasn't just a question of curiosity, but of uttermost need, shedding that air of aloofness in favor of a tone of complete seriousness.</p>
<p><span class=messageboard-ooc>As an aside, Amir'll try and share what he knows, too, if at all possible.

<p>The fellow seemed to know quite a bit about Kelmarane's heroes; enough, in fact, that the importance Amir had sussed out beforehand now seemed meager in comparison now. Whatever the absurdly tall man had to say, he wasn't going to say it to Amir; he needed to find the others.</p>
<p><b>"Keep an eye on tall, dark, and gaudy. I'll see about finding Yazi and Bartan."</b></p>
<p>From Pathfinder to glorified messenger, the bardic explorer trekked out from the battle market at a brisk pace, scouring the growing hub of activity for his erstwhile protagonists.</p>(Bah. That's what I get for trying to hustle things along. Ah, well. Nobody ever said Amir had common sense :p)

Ever since his arrival, he'd been hard at work piecing together the tale of events that had led up to this point, documenting the rise and continual successes of the heroes who'd put it all on the line for Kelmarane.</p>
<p>In a highly similar vein, the young chronicler was struggling to find a suitable means by which to relay the much needed news to Grand Lodge. Though the letter was set, the problem was that it was such a costly thing. But fate once again favored him when news reached Amir's ears of the arrival of the newest caravan. Talk about being lucky!</p>
<p><b>"Hey! You. Yeah, <i>you.</i> I need you to do something for me,"</b> insisted Amir as he reached the caravan, sealed envelope in-hand and no small measure of pep in his step, passing by Paige as she tended to the weary beasts of burden. <b>"When you guys leave, I need you to deliver this message for me. There's a trading post in town; ask for Vennic, and pass this on to him,"</b> explained the Pathfinder, passing the wax-sealed letter into the fellow's hands, along with two platinum pieces. <b>"One of those is payment. The other's so you don't take a peek. It's very important that you neither open it nor anyone else knows you're carrying it, okay? It's for the good of Kelmarane, so I'm trusting you."</b></p>
<p>With his missive delivered, Amir was feeling pretty good about his day so far. Things were coming together splendidly, and with surprising serendipity. But then something peculiar happened. A man, garbed and glamoured in brass jewelry, had apparently come with these fine purveyors of goods, demanding an audience with those who ruled Kelmarane. For a moment the Pathfinder almost felt the urge to run off and find the other heroes, but his drive was cut short; first by Hajar, whom he'd practically missed amidst the throng of merchants, as he followed after the odd — and armed — man into the nearby tavern. Soon followed by Paige, it looked like the man was getting exactly what he wanted; obviously this was substantial importance.</p>
<p>Turning on his heel and his face locked into a facade of bewilderment and curiosity, Amir felt confident that Hajar and Paige could at least satiate the fellow's curiosity; but if it was serious, then Almah needed to know.</p>

<p>Relieved that the whole temple fiasco had ended somewhat in his favor, the Pathfinder noticeably relaxed, letting his shoulders slump slightly even amidst the presence of the Merchant Princess Almah and her guest.</p>
<p>At the prospect of a reward, Amir simply raised his hand in denial, shaking his head slowly to commiserate his point.</p>
<p><b>"If you're going to give me a share, I'd rather you put it towards the guardsman's family. Times are tough; probably even tougher for his wife and kids. It might not ease his passing, but maybe it'll help them get by,"</b> encourage the bard, waggling his brow thoughtfully before adding, <b>"And if he didn't have one, then split it between your men. Tell em' they have my condolences."</b></p>
<p>With the assembly on the move to disperse, Amir gave one final, slight bow to Almah and her compatriot before turning on his heel and leaving their chambers. With the temple dealt with and contact made with those who revived the fallen vista, Amir now had his work cut out for him, bearing both much to chronicle and leads to follow. Doomed to be busy for the foreseeable future, the Pathfinder thought it more prudent to get a jump on the job now.</p>
<p>For the next few days, the Pathfinder is both strangely scarce and yet everywhere at once. A blur of (albeit sometimes inebriated) activity, his time was quickly sundered between filing his own chronicles, getting up-to-speed with the goings-on themselves in Kelmarane, and preparing for his inevitably prolonged stay in the rekindled battle-market... at least until he was satisfied with the sanctity of Kelmarane as a whole.</p>

But, hey, that's a long way off, and I don't like putting all my eggs in one basket!</p>

Beyond that, if you really want Hajar to exemplify the whole "Abbot Protector" bit, there's always Protector's Strike — Smite something, give someone else the sweet Charisma-based AC Bonus against the Smite-ee till' it's over!</p>
<p>@Khayal: You're kind of in a "fighter slump" there.

<p>After sobering up to a mild degree and getting himself properly clothed, the Pathfinder arrived — albeit somewhat late — to the aforementioned meeting.

<p><b>"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on now! Let's not do anything hasty,"</b> interrupted the Pathfinder, literally stepping between the druidess and the Princess as if to plead his own case. <b>"Yeah, okay, sure, it's a dangerous plcae; that mist in the lower levels was driving us all a little crazy, our dead friend included. It's full of spiders. It's got a choker problem. Don't even get me started on the magical snakes! But it's still <i>historically important.</i> Just hear me out: there're things in that temple that could be wildly invaluable not just for Kelmarane, but for Nethys' faithful or, if you're willing, the Society."</b></p>
<p>He paused momentarily, switching his focus between the assembled heroes and the ever-appealing Princess Almah, now addressing the patrons therein as a whole.</p>
<p><b>"If you destroy that temple, you run the risk of losing hundreds if not thousands of years of history, not to mention missing out on an opportunity to draw some valuable assets to the battle market. If we could somehow clear it out and convince some of the clergy of Nethys to return and reestablish it properly — and keep an eye on the holy smoke below ground — they'll need to visit Kelmarane to stock up and resupply, not to mention bring in some commodities of their own to barter with... say, something like magical trinkets. That's gold in your pockets <i>and</i> the pockets of the Pactmasters! If you think that's still too risky, then at least let an outside source have a look at it; let me call in the Pathfinders. The Society can root through it first, collect what they can, ship it back to the Grand Lodge in Absalom, lock it up tight in their massive vaults, then burn the site to the ground. Everyone gets what they want, and you don't even have to get your hands dirty."</b></p>Alright, sure. Amir'll play Devil's Advocate :p

<p><b>"Nah. Khayal's right.

Doesn't help that we're all in pretty strung out shape, and it's not like these ruins are going anywhere."</b></p>Giving Khayal an affirmative nod before rolling his own eyes at Yazi's quip, Amir moved over to examine Haidar's lifeless corpse. He hadn't gotten a good look at the man after he'd fallen, but now he saw him for what he was: a blood-spattered vagrant, now devoid of any signs of feral kittyism. Boy, was this gonna be awkward to explain to Almah and Al-Hazeed...
"Must have been important, or he was really desperate to get away," hummed the Pathfinder, exhaustion beginning to become more...Amir Al-Fairuz (alias of rpgramen)2014-11-25T17:31:28ZRe: Forums: Recruitment: Carrion Crown - Welcome To Your Doomrpgramenhttps://paizo.com/campaigns/SpookysCarrionCrown/recruiting#152014-11-25T07:45:01Z2014-11-25T07:45:01Z<p>After some thought, looking REEEEEAL hard at an Infiltrator + Skirmisher Ranger; less of a nature-loving hippy and more of a grim and gritty hunter of monsters.

<p><b>"Geez... are you really so hard up to see what's on that barge?"</b> the Pathfinder huffed, still breathing the heady freshness in. <b>"You're making me look bad here."</b></p>
<p>Sliding over and following Hajar's lead, Amir moved astride his fellows in order to lend his own meager healing talents to the mix. First came the words, airy and distant, yet undeniably arcane in their origin, before the bardic explorer reached out and touched his compatriots where they were injured most.</p>
<p>Bartan came first, having so recently been savaged...</p>
<p><span class="messageboard-dice"><b>Cast Cure Light Wounds 1d8+4 on Bartan:</b></span> <span class="messageboard-dice">1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8</span></p>
<p>... then Khayal, whom the late Haidar had thrashed...</p>
<p><span class="messageboard-dice"><b>Cast Cure Light Wounds 1d8+4 on Khayal:</b></span> <span class="messageboard-dice">1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6</span></p>
<p>... and, finally, Yazi, despite the fact she'd so recently threatened him at swordpoint!</p>
<p><span class="messageboard-dice"><b>Cast Cure Light Wounds 1d8+4 on Yazi:</b></span> <span class="messageboard-dice">1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11</span></p>
<p>With another exasperated sigh, the Pathfinder relaxed. Casting spells clearly took its toll on the young man, sweat trickling from his brow and gloved hands shaking slightly from the rippling expression of magical pulchritude.</p>
<p><b>"There. Right as rain."</b></p>
<p>Turning back towards the cavern where the barge remained stationed, Amir grimaced at the thought of going back... and the idea that it the mists could be stopped.</p>
<p><b>"No. No, I don't think we can stop it. Not permanently, anyway, unless we can find the source,"</b> hummed Amir thoughtfully, running a hand through his hair as he contemplated. <b>"Can't say for sure what happened, but my gold and my gut's on that they beat feet outta here when folks started getting twitchy and they realized what was up. I mean, if the 'holy smoke' could have been turned off, this place probably wouldn't have been abandoned; assuming that's even why they left in the first place."</b></p>
<p>Pausing for a moment, the Pathfinder then adds, <b>"That spell you did earlier was really handy though, Paige! If you guys are so set on seeing what's inside that ship, might as well just use that if we can. Maybe you're right, too, and we'll get lucky and find some way to stop the mist. Besides that, we'll need to go back anyway; we've still gotta get the body of the, uh, wereleopard or whatever he was. The Princess and her merchant buddy'll probably want proof instead of, y'know, a pelt."</b></p>

<p>Relieved that Khayal's wounds had been staunched in such a timely manner between himself and Hajar, the Pathfinder breathed easy for a moment — figuratively speaking, anyway. The semi-renowned warrior was hardly in any fighting condition, but he was doing much better back on his feet than bleeding out on the cold, unforgiving ground. Haidar was proving himself to be annoyingly dangerous; the uncomfortable knot of fear rife in Amir's gut reminded him of that.</p>
<p>Though he yearned to apply more potent magical healing to his colleagues, the Pathfinder was still fearful of the smoke, its effects still rife on his mind. He couldn't risk chanting anything in Auran, not even to cast a spell, lest he potentially fall prey to the dubious mind-altering substance again. Instead, he continued on in his role, delivering another swift tap to Khayal to patch him up as best he could, doing his part in the fight to protect the roads against the vicious man-cat still raging through the underground cavern.</p>

<p>Following Yazi's lead with a silent huff and a deep breath, Amir charged into the darkness beyond the dilapidated barge, using Tempest's light as a guide. What he saw upon his arrival was less than uplifting: not only had poor Yazi been mauled by the man-beast turned murderer, but now, too, was Khayal!

<p>Faster than he could have expected — and much faster than he thought a creature that size could move! — the situation quickly shifted from curiously grim to just plain grim.

<p><b>"Hang on!"</b> barked the bardic wanderer as he plowed past his comrades, forgoing his sword in favor of whipping his shield from across his shoulder and onto his forearm. Khayal had the right idea; Yazi was gravely injured, and she needed help against the man from Ipeq whom was clearly mad! Adrenaline overrode the fear of the eerie shapes in the mist, Amir's blood was boiling now; it was them or the beast, and he was adamant that everyone was getting out of this mess alive.</p>

<p>With his mind clear and sanity (for the most part) restored, the Pathfinder blinks as the deific visage fades to reveal nothing more than a dusty traveler, a supposed Emir of Ipeq. The galleon, once a magnificent mirage hoisted by the clouds themselves, no stood as nothing but an old and worn curio; worth investigating, certainly, but much less impressive when not totally tripping out on the holy smoke of Nethys' shrine. Quietly, Amir hissed fussily at Paige as if she were some nosy child fiddling with something she ought not to be.</p>
<p><b>"Haidar, you, uh, you keep mentioning 'the beast' and that it was 'outside.' Do you mean the Katapeshi leopard? Did you see it attack the caravan guard?"</b> inquired the Pathfinder, clearly hot on the trail but oblivious to both the oddly punch-centric accessory at the Emir's side or the blood splattered all over his clothing.</p>
<p>Strangeness at finding what had to be the hermit who'd taken up residence in the ruins aside, something wasn't quite right here; something about his desire not to go outside just struck the Pathfinder as peculiar. True, being in the smoke certainly made one a bit off, as Amir had experienced firsthand only moments before Paige's timely intervention, but still, something had to have driven this so-called well-to-do military man into hiding out here. The 'Accursed' bit certainly raised a few hackles in the explorer's mind, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it; things just weren't adding up...</p>

I know life can get in the way of things; sometimes that means giving up something you love in order to make time for what you need to do.

<p>As far as class is concerned (if it's even relevant at this point :p), Sorcerer seems the most natural fit for Amir, likely with one of the four Genie Bloodlines (leaning strongly towards Djinni or Marid with the Seeker Archetype, personally). No fancy tricks, no PrCs, just Sorcerer all the way, baby. On the other end of the spectrum, if the group is in need of a Knowledge Monkey, then Bard. Again, no gimmicks, just a traditional Bard with all the knowledge skills. ALL THE KNOWLEDGESES!</p>

<p>What little consideration I've given for character concept seem to be leaning more towards the mystical aspects of the Arabian variety: Suli Sorcerer of some kind of Genie Bloodline, or a Peri-Blooded Aasimar Divine Character - likely Cleric of Serenrae or an Oathbound Paladin.</p>

Still here and eager to run stuff. In addition to the above, I also wouldn't mind playing through Age of Worms, as I've heard nothing but good things about it.
<p>Again, as for running homebrew stuff, feel free to shoot some ideas my way! If we can reach a consensus on the overall idea for the story involved, I like to think I'd be able to incorporate it into a full-fledged campaign :D</p>

<p>So, hey, yeah! Two birds, one stone and all that.

My only schism might be that if I were to take up the DM mantle and assume the role of a player simultaneously, I'd likely only be able to play in two rather than the gregarious remainder thereof; three is a possibility, but I'd be lying if I didn't think that would be stretching it for me since I tend to get a little wordy with my posts. But still, if none of that's a qualm for anyone, then marvelous! Sign me up; I have no problem with a post a day or so nor a post a week - so long as it moves along, I'm confident I can commit; at least for the next foreseeable six months.</p>
<p>That all being said, I'm certainly open to ideas on what to run! If it's an Adventure Path (sans Skull & Shackles or Shattered Star, since I don't completely own either), I'm more than happy to oblige in that regard. If it's homebrew, know that I welcome my brain being bombarded by interesting concepts, and eagerly await a chance to flex my storytelling muscles. As far as the player-side of things, I, too, would like a chance to get through at least one of the APs; my preferences lying between Rise of the Runelords and the Jade Regent.</p>It might be a bit belated, but I'd like to throw my hat into the proverbial ring herein.

There are so many great applications, I've no doubt it'll be a tough decision on Haldhin's part.

Are the Luck Feats/Hero Points in use? I have this odd idea for a character who almost solely relies on good fortune to see him/her through the toughest of times. In lieu of that idea, then good ol' Tanky McTankpants!</p>Hmm... looking at submitting a Fighter, if it's not too late. Are the Luck Feats/Hero Points in use?

I'm feelin' particularly conflicted for ideas, but I'm sure I'll drum up something here soon :)</p>
<p>EDIT: Actually, y'know what? Let's do that whole random generation deal. My only request is that I'd like to not roll randomly for a gender; I'd just prefer a choice therein, if it's not too much to ask. Beyond that, I'm honestly willing to play whatever those fickle dice gods give me :D</p>

<p>Assault: Fighter, Monk

Skilled: Inquisitor, Rogue

Arcane: Alchemist, Sorcerer</p>
