Ruul has a couple Pearl of Power Is. If Elen or Azaraunt can keep Mage Armor up on him, that would be appreciated.
I was gonna suggest just that Ruul, with the pearls. Both Elen and I have lesser extend rods if I am not mistaken too, so when they can be spared that's a 14 hour mage armor. If you had a rod of lesser extend...
@Numair
Macavity will joyously flank with you but is feat-starved. I can't even get him Quick Draw. Too bad I can't buy a feat with those Prestige points.
cheers
Elen notices the minotaur flirting in a ham-handed sort of way with the pale cleric, and murmurs to herself, "Well, I've seen stranger couples..."
Elen peers about, wondering if Gronk, Pinwheel, or that merman are still about. Some of the earlier conversants seemed to have lost interest. She digs into her bag for a cookie and nibbles it, handing up another when Ally finishes her song.

The tension had become palpable in the last couple of minutes - Ripley has fallen silent - most probably lost in contemplation of things gone by - and as such Calendir decided not to disturb her, allowing her to keep her own pace and timing. This did not seem to be a "simple" matter for her, and he would respect this.
Glancing around the table, all seem to be somewhat lost in their own thoughts... After having listened to the amazing voice from that also unique creature perched on Elen's shoulder, the half-orc felt as if the slight weariness and gloom that seemed to have settle down on him from the last two weeks in the wilds, are somewhat lifted and he feels as refreshed as he had just drank from spring water - this prompts him to equate the matters that have gone so far in a different light.
We may be on the brink of something unique... I have never witnessed such a gathering of Pathfinder Society members from such different regions of Golarion - It seems almost as if they selected a large number of applicants for some not yet presented task - the decision seems yet to be made, a selection mayhaps? But what may be the criteria? The challenge ahead? Would they be equating to send us int the Worldwound for some reason?
He realized he was actually looking forward to it - as soon as he had received the missive from his contact, he departed immediately to Avistan and then in a straight line towards its northernmost regions - he wanted to arrive there ahead of time, and so he did. Ever since he has been here, he has come to admire the inhabitants of this region, and the matter of fact attitude in which they approach life in the proximity of the Worldwound - they are oppressed by it, but this does not prevent them for proceeding with their lives - this sort of common courage is perhaps the most valuable of all.
A couple things.
A) LM, do you mind posting a list of who got the invites. If I make any last minute changes it's going to be in response to what the party is looking like.
B) Can you open the gameplay thread now for people to put tracking posts in? It's a lot easier to follow a thread when it's consolidated in one's campaign page.
Thanks again for choosing me/Ruul!
Good morning everyone. I am now up and about (I think :) and will be around most of the day to answer questions and throw out a few rumors. To answer your questions Ruul, the list of invitees (although I believe you have figured it out now, are as follows:
- Ruul
- Elen
- Lavinina
- Macavity
- Numair
- Calendir
- Kallistiel
- Azaraunt
The gameplay thread is open, but I would prefer to keep the tavern thread here, at least until I start things off tomorrow. I am also setting us a couple of spreadsheets on my end so that I can track XP and party treasury (as a backup, I'll leave it up to you guys to figure out how you are going to keep track of treasury). The XP I will track privately, except to say that, with so much going on, I'll be running in the Medium track. Given some of the creatures you'll be fighting later on, you'll still have plenty of opportunity to work up to level 20. Other than that, if you guys have questions (that I haven't answered in reply form today), just let me know.

On this I would have to say that you picking the Ranger (Trapper) archetype was the better way to go Macavity.
LOL
I saw some of the arguments being made on the recruitment thread about PP and buying wands. However, something to think about is, if you bought a MA wand, with a CL of 2, yes you would be using 4 PP (that alone might be a dealbreaker, but...) you would get a lot more use out of it. Just a thought.
Looking at you intently, he says, almost in a whisper, "Can we count on you, Shadow Warrior, to complete this task for our Lodge?"

Found the perfect feat for the lead-from-the-front dervish:
Flagbearer grants +1 attack, damage, and saves vs fear & charm to allies of the same organization (ie Pathfinders) that can see the flag. Have to hold it in one hand, which doesn't interfere with Dervish Dance since its not a weapon.
I plan to have a silken ribbon banner with the Pathfinder logo that I'll carry by a brass ring streaming behind me into battle.
He continues informally. "in my experience, these clues are quoted from ancient texts where the author and some times storyline can be clues in and of themselves. I accept that you will do everything within your power to discover this information," and finishes with some formal phrasing.
Bao sits back and pauses in contemplation. "Now that our agreement has been reached, may I ask you what has brought you here, so very far from our homeland?"

Seems like a great idea - dang, you'll be the true shining beacon up front :D
I've been fiddling for a long time with the idea of having a horse companion... And this seems like such a good group to act out all of my imagined ranger possibilities. I've tried... but I cannot part from my cat :D
@Lord Manticore: I have taken desert as my Favoured Terrain, would that be in agreement with the fact that I've been around this place for a couple of months?
@Numair
As much as Macavity would enjoy the morale bonus, don't you need a hand free to use Lay on Hands, because you don't cast spells much?
Despite the name of this ability, a paladin only needs one free hand to use this ability.
Fey Foundling is an interesting feat, too.
cheers
Pat sits there for a couple of moments, lost in thought. Old battles and aquaintences. Old friends...enemies. Her last meeting with her war-brother...her last meeting with Him...
"Before the dream ended, he asked me to guard something that belonged to him. He said that it was something that he had used since in the days before He became immortal, a god. He did not use it as much now as he did before, but it still held much sentimental value to him, and it had been touched by two of his friends, which made it even more valuable. When I asked what it was, He simply said to take care of it, and that I would know when and how to use it.
"When I woke, there was a hammer in my tent, a mighty warhammer. I noticed that the side of the hammer had three faces on it. I recognized Him, Aroden. But also there was Sarenrae and Groteus, although I did not recognize the orc God at first. It seemed odd that such an old God should grace this hammer, until I realized that He stood for the end of all things. Surely, were someone meet the business end of this fine instrument of destruction, it would be the end of him. A week later, after He was slain, I had a terrible vision of the event, even though I was hundreds of leagues away from him. I awoke and went immediately to his hammer. His face was gone! That is when I knew that I would no longer directly serve him.
"I unfortunately did not know how to wield a hammer properly, but my war-brother, Sir Fortingray, did. When the time came that General Zelkor called for the Fifty and One to enter Tsar, Sir Fortingray was one of the chosen. I knew what to do at that point, as He had told me. I gave the hammer to Sir Fortingray, asking him to use it in His name. Fortingray knew what I meant and accepted the hinor. The next hour, he rode off to Tsar to meet his destiny.
"He was human, but still quite young, particularly so young yet able to receive a knighthood. IF he were still alive, I would have found out about it by now. But I am now sure that he is dead."
Pat looked around the table. There were fewer in number now, the hour was growing past sundown. "I had hoped to go into Tsar and find him myself. I feel that something not right has happened to Fortingray, and to the Hammer. I can no longer feel its presence and that has me frightened. If you, who are going into that accursed city, I would be most grateful if the artifact could be retreived. I have ammased a fair amount of wealth over the centuries, and I would be willing to part with some of it, should the hammer come back to me. Please, tell me, could you perform this task for me?"

I would be ok with that.

Fiddling with the bronze bow symbol around his neck, Calendir offers - I am not moved by religion, neither of old nor young gods - I respect them and those who worship them - "Old Deadeye" himself seems to have seen something in me, and he lets me use his tools to meet my goals, but he expects me to make it on my own... It does not matter - if this item has been entrusted to you, either by a friend or a God, and you have entrusted it to a brother that is now lost, I have no objections in returning it.
But something puzzles me lieutenant - how come you have concluded we are going to abandoned Tsar?
@Numair

To have it built into his armor would be about 10 gp (my call, some kind of ring built/sewn as part of the armor, with some kind of hooking mechanism to 'lock in' the flag). To have it "patched" into his current armor is okay, but if he takes a crit to his armor, the flag is likely the first thing to go fly.
"Good Calendir, whilst I know that I am not part of the list, I am privy now those who are being, 'invited to the ball.'"
How did Elen get her Improved Familiar? Did I miss it in the background?
cheers
OK I'm not sure if I am doing something wrong, but I can't link the gameplay thread to this campaign. I had to create a separate thread in the Play-by-Post Forum, but it won't link without starting a new campaign. A little help on this one?
EDIT: Never mind, I got it sorted out. The gameplay thread is open and I have posted the first part of the intro, specifically for Macavity, everyone else's intro will be up momentarily.

Well, I am guessing from my end, the wand option is left out since I would need Use Magic Device. Unless I offer it to one of my more Arcane or Divinely inclined companions :D
Once everyone's checked in, can you move the previous campaign to inactive? I'm trying to minimize clutter on my campaigns page.
I can do that, but how?
OK It's done.
