Curse of the Crimson Throne

Game Master stormcrow27

Albatrosses' blade comes down and cuts through the wolf's chainmail, but it still stays up.

Bipedal Wolf 1-30
Blond Bipedal Wolf with acid wand -untouched

The bipedal wolf switches to her greataxe, and cleaves down at the Albatross.

Great Axe attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15

The axe misses as the Albatross deftly moves away.

@Io that would be 3 healed for you and Headsman. I used my super GM wonder twin powers to add Headsman into the collective since I figured Yanis was trying to keep both of you alive. You hear some cursing and growling coming from the door behind the bipedal wolf (area A8), along with lots of frightened breathing.

Round 4 of combat The Black Merlin is up

The Black Merlin shifts the barrel of his pistol back to the bipedal wolf directly across the room from him.

'Two left!' He shouts as he pulls the trigger.

Pistol+point blank: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15 vs touch

Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

The Merlin reloads yet again.

Black Merlin's pistol ball blows through leather and fur into the wolf's chest, who squeals indignantly.

Bipedal Wolf 1 -30
Blond bipedal wolf -5

Headsmen, you're up

Sorry for the delay, new posts weren't popping up.

Headsman winces as a second burst of acid sizzles against his skin.

"Outta my way! I'm here for Lamm!"

He surges forward and...

Greataxe: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23 Damage: 1d12 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13

aims a brutal strike at the blonde-haired wolfman, giving a ferocious battle shout.

Current HP: 10/26

Seeing Headsman get a good swing in at the creature with the wand, Machaera hurtles over the desk in front of her and steps down onto the chair on the other side, on which she balances gracefully as she thrusts her rapier at the wolf the Albatross has already closed with. Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13 Damage?: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

The paizo site was done for maintenance for a bit. Headsman, you got healed back for 3 hp after that second blast of acid.

The blond-haired wolfman screams like a wounded pig caught in a vice, with someone pouring a salt shaker over the cuts. Machaera's rapier misses the more heavily armored wolf, scraping off the chainmail.

Io, you're up. One badly wounded wolfman with a wand of acid and another badly wounded wolfman with a big axe and lots of attitude are up.

My current HP takes that into account.

Io charges forward, jumping over the body of the fallen wolf, coming to a stop with a powerful spinning kick against the bipedal wolf, landing deftly in a defensive position.
Power Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22
Damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
Bleed: 1d4 ⇒ 2

After this, assuming it's not some major Thing That We Should Not Know, I'm really curious as to how these wolves are fighting on -30 HP. I'm kind of in awe.

That's their lost hp, not their total. It's -30 from max.

I think he is just listing how much dmg we have done and the - is to make it not seem like part of the word?

Ah. Now I understand. Makes much more sense that way.

I'm listing the amount of damage they've taken to make it easier for me and the team to know how much damage they have done. If that's too metagamey, I'll pull it and record it elsewhere

The bipedal wolf with the axe staggers yet again from Io's kick, but even the bleed impact still doesn't drop it. The blond, bipedal wolf withdraws out of sight into A5.

I like it.

Albatross is up.

I'm fine with it too. It makes sense that we can judge how injured our foes are. I just failed my understanding check.

Is the door to the hallway open? If yes, the Albatross will 5' shift north to gain flanking and possible -4 cover? Please adjust the roll accordingly. Otherwise he'll stay in place and make the attack.

Wakizashi: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Yes it is

However even with the Albatross attacking the enemy's flank, his blade misses.

Yanis is up.

Yanis will draw upon his internal reserves again and heal Io and Headsman, seeing into their bodies and knitting wounds as he does.

3 HP to each of you

"This is not quite what I expected to be here, interesting that all these beast have not been noticed by the guards."

Bipedal Wolf 1 -41
Blond Wolf (out of sight) -18

Bipedal Wolf 1 swings her axe down at the Albatross

Greataxe: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11

The axe gouges a chunk out of the wall, but it misses the Albatross

Round 6
The Black Merlin is up.

The Black Merlin steps into the building for the first time. He takes a moment to appreciate the decor before aiming his pistol at the only visible foe and firing.

'You're a tough 'un.' He quips.

Pistol+Point Blank: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

The vigilante then reloads his pistol

The wolf goes down and is dying. Apparently my last post didn't go through.

No enemies are visible. Machaera has the next action, though technically you are "out" of combat and can act as you like.

Headsman plants a solid kick in the blonde wolf's dying body with a victorious roar before stowing away his axe.

Visibly out of breath, he leans against the table for a moment "Alright, let's see what they've got and keep going. I've got someone to rescue."

"Well. That was a rush. No point in hurrying now. Or going slow. They'll be all set up in defensive formation by the time we get anywhere. May as well catch our breath and take our long-overdue payment from Gaedren."

Io goes into the neighboring room, searching the fallen body in there for valuables before looking around the room.
What does she see in A5?
Perception on the blond wolf: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18
Perception for the room: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

The Merlin edges just out of the doorway and covers the teams rear, gun at the ready.

Stealth: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11
Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

Yanis will move about the room checking to make sure the bodies of the wolves are dead, watching the others search the room. Yanis will go about looking for any sort of drugs other other things that Gaedren would be using to keep the poor down.

Craft (alchemy): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

so when I opened hero lab it said I had another power to learn, I took Detect compulsion

"Well. That was a rush. No point in hurrying now. Or going slow. They'll be all set up in defensive formation by the time we get anywhere. May as well catch our breath and take our long-overdue payment from Gaedren."

Io goes into the neighboring room, searching the fallen body in there for valuables before looking around the room.

Machaera steps down from her perch, her eyes flashing. Any vestige of a ladylike demeanour is gone, replaced by implacable calculation. “Io’s right. Let’s deal with the last one so there’re no nasty surprises on the way out.” Unless he crawled through a window.

Am I completely mad, or did the one with the wand just retreat? That’s the one Machaera means.

“Albatross, I heard something behind you. Be ready. Everyone else, if a wolf comes tearing through here in a few seconds, I doubt any tears will be shed over what happens to it.” With that, she follows Io into the next room.

As the human woman takes a look around, Machaera announces, for the benefit of any lurkers, “Throw down your weapons – including the wand. I’m not the sort to kill anyone in cold blood, but I’m not stupid, either.” Not that you haven’t, her memory gloats, twisting the knife. It hasn’t been that long either, has it? She tries to focus on the contents of the room around her.

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Corvus will advance to the door at the end of the hall and crack it open to see if the area was alerted.

stealth: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28
perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Treasure and actions will be resolved tonight. And yes the one with the wand retreated.

Oh, if that wolf isn't dead, Io instead runs into A5 and punches the wolf. Hard. I only have Belier's Bite for 1 minute. That should leave me with 5 rounds before I have to use another use of Martial Flexibility.
Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Bleed: 1d4 ⇒ 2

@Yanis You find no drugs
@Io you see a room filled with 4 bunk beds, and hear some heavy breathing under one of them, but the blond wolf is not visible.

@Macahera you also see the same in A5, and hear the same heavy breathing, but nothing is visible.

@Corvus you see the following
The floor here is slick with river water, bits of seaweed,
and fish blood, and the air is thick with the accompanying
scents. Wooden catwalks to the north and south allow
access between the western part of the fishery and the
floor of the room, which is ten feet lower. A wide
opening in the floor to the south allows direct access to the sloppy, muddy water of the Jeggare River a further three feet
down, while to the northwest stands an immense eightfoot-tall wooden vat, its sides caked and waterproofed with tar. Inside is a foul-looking mixture of chum, river water, and who knows what else. To the east are stacked many barrels and crates, each with a fish painted on it. Over a dozen small hammocks hang from under the catwalks, each with its own ratty blanket and pillow.

Of more immediate attention are the more then two dozen orphans sleeping in each hammock (sometimes two to one), the large furry 2 legged wolf wearing a breastplate, a shield and carrying a flail looking at them, and lots and lots of stinky fish.

Headsman grabs one of the greataxes and follows along with Io and Machaera.

Perception to find the wolf: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27
That finds the wolf, right?
Io walks over (quickly, her stance is fading fast) to the bed the wolf is under, and kicks it.
Miss Chance (total concealment, low misses): 1d100 ⇒ 86
Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Bleed: 1d4 ⇒ 4

Well... That's the best I've rolled in a while. So, 8 damage, 4 bleed? How long will that take to kill it?
She feels the foot connect, knowing the strike was true.
Io carefully crouches down to look under the bed. When she sees the wolf, she does her best to pull her out.
Grapple: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
Grapple: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18
It provokes an AoO each time, but considering prone gives you a -4 to hit, Io should be safe. It could also be a reposition, or just a strength check; they all have the same modifier.
Once she has the struggling wolf out, she pins it against the floor (considering it's already there, shouldn't be hard) and waits for it to die.
"Have fun in hell, won't you?"

Once the wolf is dead, she then walks away to the other room, to discuss the found treasure.
"Hey, pointy hat. You have any magic to help us with these?" she says to Machaera, gesturing to the pile of loot on the floor, before starting to divide out the coins into equal piles.

"We'll pick that up on our way out. Gold won't be hurt from lying on the floor a little longer. Can't say the same for the kids."

"Fair enough. I suppose our payment has been delayed so long, we can go a bit longer. Hmmm... anyone have a bag?" Io stands up from her counting.

Yanis will go and check on the children after the Bipedal wolf has been dealt with so thoroughly by Io.

"You are a terrifying woman Mrs. Dorean, remind me to not cross you."

Heal Check: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26

Io grins, baring her teeth in a manner reminiscent of a shark, "You should see me when I'm angry." Then, glancing at her hands, wipes the blood from her knuckles onto the fallen wolves' fur.

She hefts the shield taken from the fallen wolves, "Anyone need this? Or should I let the next dogs we find play fetch with it?" If nobody objects, she puts the shield on loosely, leaving her primary shield on her back.

Io then goes to the door of A7, peeking inside.

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

'What is our plan with the children? We can't just turn a bunch of kids out on the streets, even if it is better than this.' The Merlin asks over his shoulder as he keeps watch on the street.

"I've got a place we can have them rally at. It's not much, but some of us older teens and kids can help them find new places."

Headsman grabs one of the greataxes and follows along with Io and Machaera.

Hearing Headsman coming up behind her, Machaera wondered how to indicate the wolf’s hiding place without making the beast still more desperate, but before any ideas sprang to mind, Io had already pounced and dragged the creature into the open. The young woman’s kick lands with a sickening crunch, and the only merciful thing Machaera can do is put the beast out of its misery. Attack, just in case it’s still moving: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13 Damage?: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 If the wolf was actually knocked out, I guess that makes it a coup de grace, for an additional 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6 damage.

And I suppose it’s traditional at this point to loot the body?

Rejoining the others, Machaera raises an eyebrow at Io’s question, but all she says before surveying the stuff gathered from the wolves is, “I prefer hoods, actually. Less likely to get caught on a low branch in the forest.”

Uttering a rapid incantation, she scans the various items for magic, taking the minute or so she needs while the Albatross and Io check on the rooms beyond. Actually, I guess it would take a bit more than two minutes, so since we probably don’t want to linger Machaera can focus on the potions for now.

Slight movements of her head indicate that she is listening, in part, to the conversation around her, but her concentration is clearly focused on figuring out if anything the group’s recovered is immediately useful.

Well good to know questioning isn't in this group's plans...

Summary-Wolf equal dead, no need stab it again.

@All There is still the matter of the other wolfman in the room with all of the orphans, and the fact that only Corvus knows what is in that room.

@The Black Merlin no one appears behind you.

More treasure discovered on the blond wolf's body
3 pp, 80 gp

Potion
Potion
Scroll
leather armor
dagger
light crossbow with 10 bolts,
brass key
iron key
garnet amulet worth 100 gp
wand of acid splash
3 vials of acid
thunderstone

@Machaera Did you still want to take care of identifying all of that given the fact that Corvus hasn't told anyone as of yet about the crew in A8?

A7 opens up into the following

The stink in this room, a mixture of fsh and sweat, is enough
to make the eyes water. To the east, a large wooden trough
holds a hideous mound of half-rancid fsh, seaweed, and
brine. Filthy river water and fsh blood stain the floor
around this trough. A pair of wooden chutes lead from
this trough through holes in the eastern wall into a larger
room beyond. To the west, a desk and chair sit in one
corner while a tall cabinet sits in the other.

Not seeing any more wolf-men, Io opens the door the rest of the way, allowing the light from her orbiting torch to illuminate the room. While she briefly wrinkles her nose at the smell, she doesn't let it bother her.
Io walks over the the desk first, then the cabinet, opening them and checking inside. If they're locked, she tries to use her skeleton key to open them up.
Skeleton Key (disable device): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28
Skeleton Key (disable device): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25
*Whistles softly*
Wow. The dice roller in this game loves me.

If the key doesn't work, she calls out softly, "Anyone here good with locks?"

In either case, she looks around the room, trying to spot anything else interesting, and listening for the breathing of wolves.
Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28
*Starts mumbling incoherently*
At this point, I feel like it's deliberately mocking me, and as soon as we get into combat, I'll have a horrific string of 1s....

Once she grabs anything of note and delivers it back to where the others are, Io walks to the door set in the eastern wall (To A8) and looks inside.
Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27
*Muffled profanity*
Can I just throw my shield at Gadren right now? Given how I've been rolling, and assuming I hit the miss chance for total concealment, I'd crit against him.

As the stench from the now open door wafts in Yanis will apply his mask with scents in the nose. Affixing it to his face firmly he will follow Io into the room and look around the room for anything of note on Gadren and his operations here.

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23

"We need some to help us take him down, where are all the children being kept?"

Well good to know questioning isn't in this group's plans...

@Machaera Did you still want to take care of identifying all of that given the fact that Corvus hasn't told anyone as of yet about the crew in A8?

Sure, or at least get a start on it, while Io and Yanis are prowling around, and having fun with, as Gilbert and Sullivan would put it, "skeletonic keys." In the interests of keeping things moving, we can definitely have one of them or Corvus shout out a few rounds in to advance into A8. I think Machaera can guess what at least some of the potions are, and that Headsman and Io should probably take one now, but she'll try to do her due diligence before feeding them random vials from a drug dealer's lackeys. :)

None of them were drugs as far as I could tell, I kinda wish I took spellcraft but it doesn't really fit with Yanis.

The Merlin keeps watch on the street the entered from until the group moves further into the building.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Warning: Language

Due to issues with keeping my Mummy's Mask play going since I have had 4 to 5 characters drop in and out over the last several months, I am spinning up a new Curse of the Crimson Throne PFRPG version recruitment thread (as I am sure 10,000 others are with the super new PFRPG version). I am looking for 3 players, as I have two already who may play a bard and a vigilante.

Character creation rules: Roll stats 4d6, take the best 3, reroll 1s and 2

Starting level 2

Allowed races: Pretty much any other then noble drow or the 30 pt plus stuff like Centaurs and the like. If you have a 3.5 race you want me to take a look at, I'll review it.
Allowed classes: All Paizo. 3rd party
Rite Publishing's in the Company of Monsters series
Dreamscarred Press's Path of War Expanded and Psionics etc
Rogue Genius Games character classes
Ultimate Truenaming

3.5 prestige classes can come across without issue. Also the 3.5 binder form the Tome of Magic is also available, as is the PFRPG conversion by Master Arminas on these forums for the shadowcaster.

HP max 1st level as always, roll for 2nd, reroll if you get a 1 (seriously, this isn't 1st Ed where you had a 2nd level wizard with 3 hps and 2 1st level spells)

Starting character wealth 2,000

Traits 2 pick one from the old guide or I can send you the PFRPG equivalents

Flaws are also in play from 3.5 UA or the ones on PFSRD20.

Type of characters recommended: urban oriented, good to neutral alignments, Varisian or Cheliaxian human background. Korvosa is a 19,000 or so person human LN dominated city with lots of laws and wealth.

Recruitment will be open until the 23rd of January.

Ooh. I haven't played this one yet. Would like to try out the Sable Company Marine archetype of ranger.

4d6 ⇒ (1, 1, 2, 3) = 7
4d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 1, 6) = 14
4d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 6, 3) = 16
4d6 ⇒ (3, 2, 3, 5) = 13
4d6 ⇒ (3, 3, 2, 3) = 11
4d6 ⇒ (4, 6, 5, 3) = 18

Good grief. Thank goodness for rerolls. I'm assuming we only reroll any dice that wouldn't have been dropped, please let me know if that's not right.

2d6 ⇒ (5, 3) = 8
1d6 ⇒ 5

Ok, so that's 11, 16, 14, 11, 9, 15. Quite workable.

Let's see what I have to work with then.

holy snap, this is one of the MAD-friendliest stat blocks I've seen in a while. Lemme see about an unchained monk then?

hp: 1d10 ⇒ 2

DAT LUCK, THO. This is why I minmax, I am incapable of rolling well, I swear.

...actually, nevermind, I'll roll some kind of divine caster, like an oracle or cleric. So.

hp: 1d8 ⇒ 3

...yes. that's much better.

Dot
rolling rolling: 4d6 ⇒ (4, 1, 6, 6) = 1716

Ok, so that's 11, 16, 14, 11, 9, 15. Quite workable. [/QUOTE

Yup that would be correct, and if you wish to reroll you can. The Sable Company is based in Korvosa, so you can be the marine without a problem. And foreshadowing, you may be able to rise far in the organization during the adventure....

Dot for my Inquisitor!

And yes I know the creation rules are quite powerful, but given that I had 36 deaths in my IRL tabletop version of Kingmaker over two years and the only difference was I used the 6 person version without changes, we should be ok.

Final stats: 15, 13, 11 14, 17, 17
(assuming I didnt mess up)

PsyWar hit points 1d8 ⇒ 2

9, 16, 16, 15, 15, 14

Deleted my post a couple spots up because there was a mess of rolling and rerolling, so here we go again:

so 12, 11, 18, 14, 16, 11, with 10 hp at level 2. I can put together an Aegis with those numbers :)

@ stormcrow27:
the computer seemed bound and determined to give me lots of 1s and 2s to re-roll.
Please check what I have in the spoiler to make sure I didn't make any mistakes.

Provided all of that that is correct:
Stat array: 17, 16, 16, 16, 13, 12
that more than makes up for all the re-rolls!

Would ifrit, skinwalkers, or dhampirs be acceptable?
I have a few ideas kicking around with stats like these.

Nice, this looks like fun. I've been dying to try out that scaled fist archetype, so I'll probably be putting together an unchained monk/sorcerer.

15, 12, 13, 15, 12, 16

5 hp at level two

Dotting for now. Will look at everything tonight

Oh, this looks interesting. Let's see what the dice have to say:

1: 6d6 ⇒ (5, 3, 6, 2, 2, 6) = 24 5, 3, 6, 6: 17
2: 8d6 ⇒ (5, 1, 6, 1, 5, 1, 1, 4) = 24 5, 6, 5, 4: 17
3: 6d6 ⇒ (4, 2, 3, 4, 2, 4) = 19 4, 3, 4, 4: 12
4: 6d6 ⇒ (6, 3, 2, 2, 4, 5) = 22 6, 3, 4, 5: 15
5: 7d6 ⇒ (3, 4, 2, 2, 6, 2, 4) = 23 3, 4, 6, 4: 14
6: 5d6 ⇒ (4, 3, 1, 6, 5) = 19 4, 3, 6, 5: 15

And the grand total:
17, 17, 12, 15, 14, 15

That's... A solid spread. Hopefully I'll have a character up by tomorrow.
Are we using any of the Unchained stuff? The classes, Background Skills, Variant Multi-Classing, etc.?

So 16,15,15,17,12,13 then

13, 13, 14, 15, 15, 18

If I've done this right,(rerolling every time I get a 1, or 2), that gives me: 17,13,15,18,17,17 to work with.

That doesn't seem right ... but if it is ... wow

2nd level hit points, Fighter: 1d10 ⇒ 8

I'll see how the dice gods favor me. Thinking of a rogue or a slayer of some stripe.

Let's see what Desna holds in store for me:

Set 5: 4d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 1, 6) = 19
Set 6: 4d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 2, 2) = 10

Rerolls for Set 1: 3d6 ⇒ (4, 6, 3) = 13
Rerolls for Set 2: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Rerolls for Set 5: 1d6 ⇒ 1
Rerolls for Set 6: 3d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 6) = 10

Rererolls for Set 5: 1d6 ⇒ 5
Rererolls for Set 6: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 5) = 11

In total:

Set 1: 14
Set 2: 12
Set 3: 12
Set 4: 15
Set 5: 18
Set 6: 17

I'm feeling a wizard percolate. Story to be created & crunch to follow!

I will totally bite. Making characters keeps me young, you know.

1d6 ⇒ 6

Re-re-rerolls:
1d6 ⇒ 4
1d6 ⇒ 2
1d6 ⇒ 3

Getting there:
1d6 ⇒ 2

Almost there:
1d6 ⇒ 3

Final Stats:
15, 15, 16, 12, 13, 13

Half-Giant Psychic Warrior still missing some bits and pieces but this is most of the crunch.

Dot for now, with rolls.

Final stats

(4, 4, 4, 4) = 12
(3, 3, 3, 4) = 10
(3, 6, 3, 6) = 15
(6, 3, 5, 6) = 17
(6, 4, 4, 4) = 14
(4, 5, 4, 6) = 15

16, 17, 16, 15, 18, 14

I also wanted to submit a godling, but I think I'll try my hand at something else that's martial. I'm thinking a Dragonrider seems pretty cool. But Path of War is just so sexy. So I'll whip out a Warlord, and it'll be awesome.

So: 11, 14, 14, 14, 12, 16

Here we go, the mechanics of Hazel Fletcher, monk/sorceress extraordinaire:

Im thinking Trox Barbarian/Alchemist =^^=

Lesse what the Dice Gods provide...

And we have 18-15-15-14-14-13 which is freaking awesome. I will read the Player's Guide and return with a supa dupa cool character!

Also, as you mentioned 3.5 races, mind to check Goliaths from Race of Stone to see if they appeal to your tastes?

Will have story up tomorrow.

I love rolling! Let's see...

Line 1 = 3, 5, 6, 3 = 14
Line 2 = 6, 3, 5, 4 = 15
Line 3 = 5, 5, 5, 3 = 15
Line 4 = 4, 5, 4, 5 = 14
Line 5 = 3, 6, 5, 6 = 17
Line 6 = 5, 5, 6, 3 = 16

So, 14, 14, 15, 15, 16, 17
I think I can work with that. I'll be back later with a character.

1 1: 4d6 ⇒ (1, 2, 1, 5) = 9
2 2: 4d6 ⇒ (6, 2, 2, 1) = 11
3 3: 4d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 1, 1) = 6
4 4: 4d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 1, 6) = 16
5 5: 4d6 ⇒ (1, 5, 1, 2) = 9
6 6: 4d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 1, 1) = 11

1 1: 3d6 ⇒ (4, 1, 3) = 8
2 2: 3d6 ⇒ (6, 1, 6) = 13
3 3: 4d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 2, 1) = 12
4 4: 1d6 ⇒ 1
5 5: 3d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 6) = 17
6 6: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 4) = 7

1 - 12
2 - 18
3 - 11
4 - 15
5 - 17
6 - 13

I will be back later today with a character.

I'm definitely interested in Curse of the Crimson Throne.

I'm going to throw my hat in with this character I made for another recruitment.

I'll just need to update his crunch.

Stat array: 17, 15, 14, 14, 13, 10

Pretty good.

Now to try and figure out how to make my 'totally broke' background work with 2000gp of starting gold. Any ideas?

To clarify: We are only supposed to be rerolling the 1s and 2s that would be kept, yes? I see a lot of applicants rerolling every 1 and 2, which leads to much, much stronger stat pools.

Name: Nina Anders
Race: Human
Age: 12
Class: Barbarian(2), Oracle[Life Mystery (Unsure if will go Dual Cursed or Possessed)](8), Rage Prophet(10)
Alignment: Chaotic Good / Chaotic Neutral

Personality: Personality: Nina is shy, timid, quiet, and always seems to be afraid. She will hide behind others and look out from under their arm if she feels comfortable around them. She sometimes shakes uncontrollably in a feverish shiver, and sometimes she can be heard talking to thin air. She is not evil, but she does have a dark secret. Despite that she will do her best to keep anyone who takes care of her alive.

Background: Nina is the daughter of Tina Anders a Cheliax fugitive turned and Ned'Zul a Shoanti outcast. Ned'Zul having rescued Tina from bounty hunters, had brought her to his tribe. The tribe's shaman warned that she was cursed and that she should be put to death. Ned'Zul defied the elder and helped the chelix woman escape. Nowhere known to go, they eventually ended up in Korvosa. It was hard living at first, but slowly as their love for each other bloomed, they lifted themselves out of the gutter. With a food business becoming a newly established restaurant, things were going well for the family. In between all this Ned (the name he started going by) and Tina had a daughter. Ten years of extreme happiness blessed the family, before misfortune befell them.
As if a curse had befallen on them, Ned had gotten very ill. For weeks he could not get up from the bed. Tina was still able to manage the restaurant alone. But over the few nights she had been travelling the streets alone, she caught the sight of Gaedren and his lackeys. They watched her and followed her at first, and one night they broke into the family's flat. The woman who had barely even closed the door screamed in alarm. Ned struggling to stand came to their defense, but was taken out by a burly half-orc. Nina saw it all, and her mother yelled for her to run as she grabbed her and dragged her into the bedroom. No time to barricade the door, Tina managed to wrap a blanket over Nina's waist and lowered her down the second story window.
The last image Nina saw of her mother was that of her being dragged back inside the window and her screaming for her to run to the guard. When Nina finally managed to navigate the maze that Korvoza was in order to find a guard, it had already been to late. Both Tina and Ned'Zul Anders were found murdered. Frightened and alone Nina ran away from the guards. Wishing it was all a nightmare, all she wanted to do as wake up. But morning never came for Nina, and she soon became one of Korvosa's street urchins. Surviving on feral instincts Nina barely survived, but she did survive. Eventually she began sculpting dolls and figures to not feel alone. Often pretending the little figures were her mother and father, she would talk to them as if they could answer back...

About Myself: I have been playing play by post on RPGCrossing for the past 5 years, and very much enjoy it. I find the RP aspect is more prominent than regular tabletop games and allows for better character development. I have always wanted to be a player in this adventure path, but I have to be honest. I own the first book. Still I would love the opportunity to play in it and I believe I choose a character that I can roleplay without spoiling the fun for the other players. I'll roll stats once I get picked. I'll make whatever I roll fit into the character not the other way around! :-)

Dotting for interest and throwing some bones.

1: 6 + 6 + 5 = 17
2: 4 + 6 + 6 = 16
3: 5 + 6 + 6 = 17
4: 5 + 5 + 5 = 15
5: 6 + 5 + 4 = 15
6: 5 + 6 + 4 = 15

I've got an adorable concept I've been wanting to try with this campaign. Let's see how the dice play out first...

4d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 3, 6) = 13
4d6 ⇒ (1, 6, 1, 4) = 12
4d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 2, 5) = 16
4d6 ⇒ (6, 2, 1, 3) = 12
4d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 1, 1) = 14
4d6 ⇒ (5, 1, 3, 5) = 14

Eesh... Lotta rerolls...

2d6 ⇒ (5, 1) = 6
2d6 ⇒ (4, 3) = 7
1d6 ⇒ 1
2d6 ⇒ (5, 3) = 8
2d6 ⇒ (5, 3) = 8
1d6 ⇒ 3

So.. 14, 14, 14, 14, 17 14... Yeah, that'll do.

Dotting for later!

Created with Twistlok's roles. History is pretty good, character sheet next.

Ry'ean has been held captive by the Drow for most of her life and has just recently learned she is not in fact Drow and her life has been a lie.

Lvl 2 HP: 1d10 ⇒ 2 oh balls

I think I've finally settled on an idea. A human brawler (shield champion). Because, let's be honest, what every campaign needs is more Captain America. (Captain Andoran? Captain Varisia?)

Alchemist level HP
1d8 ⇒ 5

I think I've finally settled on an idea. A human brawler (shield champion). Because, let's be honest, what every campaign needs is more Captain America. (Captain Andoran? Captain Varisia?)

Kolonel Korvosa.

Is there a list of characters already submitted going?

Here:

Maka, Half-Giant Psychic Warrior

Hazel, Human Seeker Sorceress/Scaled Fist Monk

Crispus, Human Vanguard Warlord

Headsman, Human Barbarian

Nina Anders, Human Oracle (?)/Barbarian(?)

Ry'ean De'Turro, Human (ex-Drow) swashbuckler

Along with a Vigilante (maybe) and a Bard (maybe).

So no arcane support? I don't really want to make another caster, maybe an Oracle?
