Welcome one and all!
If you haven't already, could you please create an alias. Also could you please put the following in your tagline:
HP, AC, Saves, Perception, and Initiative
You can add this to race & class fields. I tend to use the following format spread across two lines:
Init HP xx AC Touch Flat footed | CMD | fort +x ref +y will +z | Resource Tracker Spreadsheet -- NB this is optional
Later today when the kids are in bed I'll post the prologues. Initially none of you know each other and the first order of business is to bring you all to Phlan and the party together. One thing you should know as players that your characters don't is that even though none of you can remember having met you all seem somehow familiar, experiencing something that could best be described as deja vu upon meeting. You have an odd affinity for each other that nobody can explain. That should help the party form and it may become significant later on in the follow on module.
For now can you please post here once you are ready to start.
Thank you for picking me! I'll put together Kardas's profile later today so that he's ready to go.
I thank yee, sir.
It will be a new experience for me, playing a paly...an elven paly.
Testing. Still got some gear to sort out, but most of it should be 'done'. Will be sure to edit his tagline bar so tons of necessary info is always present.
I like using this ..

.. format for that :)
Glad to be here. :)
Thanks for the pick DM!
Thank you for the invite, DM. Happy to join all these other fabulous submissions! Will get the tag line updated later today. :)
I had to seriously compact my skills to get them into a spoiler on the Class line, just FYI. If you are only looking for certain skills, let me know, and I can make them more legible.
Oh my goodness you have so many :) I'd suggest putting just the important ones you might use in combat.
Oh, the sweet pain of having skill points...lol.
Okay, I made them legible. :)
Hello hello hellooo!
Thank you for picking Ishta! I'm looking forward to play with you all, guys. I'll be editing the tag lines when the family goes back home and will be ready to play :)
Apologies all for the late and short post. I have tomorrow off and will do better. I just didnt want to hold the game up...
So this is the first time I've tried the Prologue approach to bringing a party together. It's actually way more work than I'd anticipated so I'll be glad once it's done :) I really don't know how Storyteller manages to do it for all those tables!
Anyway I hope this provides a more organic start to things rather than the typical, hey we all know each other we go way back but uh what was your name again thing... Obviously the die are heavily stacked for you to actually meet and then there's the weird familiarity you all have for each other but that's a story for another day. One I hope to share with you :)
I secretly think that Storyteller has an assistant...lol.

Agreed, it's more work but it does give the game a different feel to be sure. I like what you've done thus far! ;-)
I tried to keep the prologue going and flowing, so I kept the 'talk' brief. Feel free to converse more with Kardas however, Ishta! I figured it was best to not clutter up the thread and slow down play while hopefully giving you an idea of who Kardas is :3
Hopefully the party will be coming together about now I'll let you RP that :)
I haven't been able to find a good map of Phlan, this is the best I've been able to get, I think we can make do :) There are a few places not marked on there of note:
* The Market
* The Bitterblade inn
* The current temporary Town Hall
When I get a moment I'll edit those in.
Getting those low rolls out of the way!
Ser Armithia is right you'll need to get a charter from the council. That requires two things, a nominal fee as well as a name and roster for your adventuring band :)
Damn, you've been busy while I was away...
Name ideas, gang? (That's a question, not a suggestion to be the "Name Ideas Gang" by the way.)
(Phlan Improvement Gang doesn't work because of the unfortunate acronym, so that's also out.)
Hmm...that is a good question...too bad Suicide Squad is taken...
Phlan Reclamation Associates?
Society for an Independent Phlan?
Some name thing? Let's see...
Azarra
Ishta
Kardas
Malstei
Ser
Zane
Smazik?
Zaskim?
Zaskim Reclamation?
Anything sparking for anyone?
Order of the Dawn of Phlan?
The ODP ;-)
If we made it Phlan Order of the Dawn, we could be the POD people. :)
I think you guys are speaking my language. Anything with Dawn in it will probably satiate Zane. Unless it's 'Dawn Sucks', for example, which would not please Zane.
Um... Flan in Spain (and I think in Mexico) is a kind of pudding, so anything with Phlan in the name would sound funny to me xD
But then again I can't come out with anything, other than 'Tears of X' or similar things.
Tears of the Moonsea, maybe?
Guardians of the New Dawn
Companionship/Company of the Moonsea?
.. *is very conservative*
New Dawn of the Moonsea?
Murderhobo's Inc.
Too truthy?
I don't like the idea of double taxation. How 'bout Murderhobos LLC?

It's a ballsy tax man that sends an audit notice to Murderhobo's...
Not sure the paly would approve...lol.
I want to apologize for my posts. I am not quite sure how to play him. I have never played a paly; and I never play elves, so this is totally foreign. Please bare with me.
Besides, we are not Pathfinders, so we would get sued.
Paladin shoots down the Murderhobo idea... as always. :)
Dawn Order Of the Moonsea = DOOM (LLC of course) ??
Has room for an enlightened reading of hope *or* a snarky reading of kill everyone and take their stuff. Very open to interpretation. :)
Murderhobos INC: It pays dividends.

Zane has enough of a sense of humor to be on board.

But you have to deal with a board of directors and stockholders. Enough to turn someone into...well...a murderhobo.
The Dawn Concourse? The New Phlan Clique? The Moonsea Circle? The Dawn Company?
.. one easy way of getting the 'charter company' feel is by investing some cash into an item of sorts (trinket, amulet, cape, whatever you have) that has a logo that accompanies the name :)

That's a neat idea.
I like using "Company" in the name.
Dawn's Eye Company
That's a pretty decent name IMO, however it's not my decision :)
I'm generally not going to track small expenses like food or inn stays. While 2gp per night is expensive with luck you'll hopefully soon be quite wealthy.
A note on that, I will put in spoilers with a perception DC stuff you can easily find. That will be FAR from the only loot around, if you want to actively search for stuff you'll need to let me know, and depending on the situation the noise could attract wandering monsters.
An example: you might be in a library which is full of books, hundreds of them. One might be a forgotten spell book. You'll need to spend at least 10 minutes searching to find that.
Another example: you've been fighting in the rubble of a partially collapsed house. If you spend five minutes digging you might uncover some antique silverware worth hundreds, but a simple perception check would never find that.
I like using "Company" in the name.
Dawn's Eye Company
I can be on board with this.
When I was thinking about Dawn and Moonsea I was thinking of a military-like patch with a stylized half-sun rising over the Moonsea.
I honestly can't think of anything that incorporates what everyone wants, especially without going really long and sacrificing all attempts at a good acronym (which maybe only I cared about anyway)... so I think we're down to just voting...
Dawn's Redemption
Moonsea Company
Phlan Reclamation Associates?
Society for an Independent Phlan?
Zaskim Reclamation?
Order of the Dawn of Phlan?
Phlan Order of the Dawn
Dawn Sucks (Just kidding)
Tears of the Moonsea
Guardians of the New Dawn
Companionship/Company of the Moonsea?
New Dawn of the Moonsea?
Murderhobos Inc.
Murderhobos LLC?
Dawn Order Of the Moonsea
The Dawn Concourse?
The New Phlan Clique?
The Moonsea Circle?
The Dawn Company?
Wings of Protection
Dawn's Eye Company
The Watchful Company [edited in because it was just added to gameplay]
Any others to add before we start whittling it down? Any compromise type ideas?
Dawn's Redemption sounds particularly appealing to me.

Dawn's Eye Company sounds good to me! I'm fine with Dawn's Redemption as well. Who is Kardas to oppose the man who walks around with the blessing of the divine? ;)
Why not just "The Watchers"?
