Tadloton Merc Guild: Xanadael's Utopia

Welcome, Players, to the Tadloton Merc Guild.
The intro in the quest will be posted to the gameplay thread. Please make only 1 post in reaction to the scene that just happened and to state your own name and what "yer can do" between now and Wednesday around 5 PM when I will initiate the next sequence. You have until now and Wednesday at 5 to have your character completely set.
Some house GM notes:
-I run several characters as what I call GMPCs. These characters, such as Payk, Glifdore and Dante, will often post under their own alias. In addition to allies, some enemies will be played like PCs. This means I give them complete PC builds, and give them PC dying rules. So if you knock someone to the ground, make sure they're dead.
-I run combat in blocks, with all heroes that have a higher initiative then the next bad guy posting. After that point I will reconcile the Player posts, run the bad guys post, and then it's back to the players. I try to bunch multiple enemies under a single init roll, but will split out separate enemies in more important fights. In fact, as a good rule of thumb, if an enemy has their own init rule you should probably make sure they're dead.
-Make sure you list you AC, HP, Saves, Perception and Init in the Race and Class fields of you profile so that it shows under your name in the gameplay field.
-Please post your drawback (if you have one) below.
-Starting Gold Bonus: In addition to your base starting gold, all of your characters will have 4 weeks to prepare for your journey to Tadloton. The journey itself is paid for through letters of credit that Glifdore arranged, but you may spend the 4 weeks working. this means you can roll 4 Profession checks and add half that much in gold to your possession. You may also use that gold to buy additional equipment. Bards, entertainers, orators, anyone with a perform skill or other similar professions can add 1d4 rolls of their profession/perform skill to simulate performing on the journey to Tadloton. You may only take 1/4 the value of the roll in gold for these types of checks.

Hey guys.
In addition to the accident that set him on the course he’s on now, Ursus’s drawback is Pride.
I’ll get a character header setup shortly. Do you have a certain formatting you prefer?
Dante's stat line in the game play is a good example.

Gotcha.
Also, is the current scene in Gameplay occurring in Tadloton or before the trip?
This is after the trip has happened, in the tavern the Morning Ale. You responded to a flyer, and then had correspondence with Glifdore that said you should be at the Morning Ale at this time and this day for induction into the guild.

No applicable skills. I suppose it'll be untrained perform!
Perform: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Perform: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21
Perform: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18
Perform: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 20

So do the two groups exists within the same universe? Will we be meeting each other at some point?
They are independent, and will not be meeting each other.

I currently have two traits with no drawbacks. Since profession is an untrained skill, does this mean I may not make any money in the 4 weeks prior?
You may make the profession check untrained.

I just noticed that the Excitable trait is a gnome racial trait. I have replaced it with anatomist and my sheet and background will be changed accordingly.

Unfortunately I can’t fiddle with Rolld20 while I’m at work or on my phone. Can someone describe the map to me? How far are the zombies from the building we’re inside?
Yeah, the downside of it. You are 50 feet from the closest zombies. You have two paths though, down an allie where Dante went, or to the main street where Payk went.
I have posted a map to the roll 20 for this fight. You should be able to move your character to where you want. Make sure you do all of your RP and rolls on the game play forum, just use the map for movement and battle understanding.

On phone. So I can't tinker with roll20 but for the odd here or there when j get access to a computer

Based on where your icon lies on the map, it's 20 ft between you and the tavern door. From there there's a zombie 35 ft. down an alley too your left. Dante and Ursus are pursuing it. Down the main street, Payk is 45 ft from the door, with Alden and Glifdore close behind. Askrel and Vince are directly outside the door headed down main street. There's also an alleyway to the right. More zombies would appear to be down the main street.

Not gonna lie. I check this board like every thirty minutes that I'm awake for new posts.

DM, would you rather us describe our attack or leave it up to you?
You can describe it as you wish, though at the end of each round I'll still do wrap up decisions. I welcome it, but I'm more interested in the thoughts/flourishes/etc than attack descriptions.

no actions? Shall I jump to night time when the next auto plot point hits?

Sounds good to me.
Unless folks want to scout out the site ahead of time. Ursus isn't really the scouting type.

Male Human Fighter 8/Ranger 12
Soooo..... Guys. Was everybody brutally murdered or something?

I think there might be some general confusion.
Sorry if there is.
Right now everyone is in the mausoleum and the known necromancer and suspected perpetrator of the current undead ranks is outside, coming to the mausoleum you occupy.
I believe tie has dropped out, and Jack is still on vacation. Not sure what Varian and Askrel are up to.
Male Elf Ranger 1 HP (12/12) AC 15 |F +4|R+7|W+2|P+8|Init+7|
If you'll check my posts, Askrel is still posted as sentry outside of the mausoleum.
Male Elf Ranger 1 HP (12/12) AC 15 |F +4|R+7|W+2|P+8|Init+7|
I don't think so any longer.
hey guys,
I have friends in town for homecoming weekend so I probably won't post until Monday.

It's been a long time. It might be worth NPCing him.
