Bloody the "cultist" looks over to Suny and snaps his fingers, and Suny is cleaned up by his magic. "I know its no bath but it might bring up your spirits a little bit." He gives her a wink and a crude purple flower appears in his hand offering it to Suny.
Casted Prestidigitation
With talks about fighting the beast, "We sure that he want to fight that beast?" He points to the hidden passageway, "We could also find out whose place that is, then if there's nobody there we could ambush the cultist and find out more information?"
Suny giggles brightly, shivering as Flag's magic tinges over her. She curtsies demurely and accepts the gift of his flower, deftly tucking it behind an ear and smiling shyly. (^_^)
"Um...Does we rilly want ta go lookin' at th' big beasty?" She asks quietly.
"As fer ambush? That'll only work fer the nasties whut don't get word of whut we done here..." She points out, "What, with folks thinking that be an escape tunnel yonder." And she points to the door way and tunnel that Flag have explored to the end of.
"Them's what got away would be seekin' out they's fellow weirdo's. May-hap fromin' a group ta come flush us out?"
"You know those cultists we trapped in that cold storage area, do we leave them there? Their cruel following of that beast, deserves their deaths. I think we should remove the rest of the cultists down here before we leave. Sunny can still fight, if she stays towards the back and shoots arrows or something. We can always use this exit if needs be!"
Did the cultists I saw escape down the passage BF ands Silas went down, or did they continue down a passage we haven't explored yet? Just wanted to clarify that.
"Let us take them for justice at the Temple, (of Calistra) our Lady would introduce them to the pleasure of her vengeance." says Kariselle without emotion. "Let us free them from their cold nights rest and seek the embrace of the Savored Sting. Let us have rope ready to bind their freezing hands." she smiles.
You begin to make your way back toward the cold room. You barely begin back toward the temple before you hear the slam of something against wood ahead of you. As you near the temple, the sound grows louder and more insistent.
"Dammit! Let's make our retreat. We'll have to get that hidden door closed after we're through, or this thing is going to get more than just us. Move!"
Silas readies his swords, and takes up a defensive position nearest the door where the noise is coming from.
As the party debates what to do, the door bursts into shards. Splinters of wood fly across the room and slam into your flesh. A horror lurks on the other side. Countless glazed-yellowy eyes and worm-like orifices filled with jagged rotting teeth roil across a surface of decomposing, maggot-filled flesh. Its almost as if they bubble to the surface and then immediately are covered again as its flesh continues to warp and ooze.
Suny 'squeaks' in surprise as wood comes flying every where. Then squeaks again in shock, horror and surprise at the...thing which comes roiling though the ruined door frame. She doesn't need to be told twice and follows Mishael.
Seeing the creature like this for the first time, Karsille tries to recall from her studies whether she has seen such a one before.
Karsielle retreats casting as she goes, calling upon Calistra to make this area holy in her sight.
Knowledge (Religion) 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17 Move action to door, at the doorway, Std Action: Casts consecrate.
Consecrate:
School evocation [good]; Level cleric 2
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S, M (a vial of holy water and 25 gp worth of silver dust), DF
Range close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Area 20-ft.-radius emanation
Duration 2 hours/level
Saving Throw none; Spell Resistance no
This spell blesses an area with positive energy. The DC to resist positive channeled energy within this area gains a +3 sacred bonus. Every undead creature entering a consecrated area suffers minor disruption, suffering a –1 penalty on attack rolls, damage rolls, and saves. Undead cannot be created within or summoned into a consecrated area. If the consecrated area contains an altar, shrine, or other permanent fixture dedicated to your deity, pantheon, or aligned higher power, the modifiers given above are doubled (+6 sacred bonus to positive channeled energy DCs, –2 penalties for undead in the area).
You cannot consecrate an area with a similar fixture of a deity other than your own patron. Instead, the consecrate spell curses the area, cutting off its connection with the associated deity or power. This secondary function, if used, does not also grant the bonuses and penalties relating to undead, as given above.
His senses telling him to be the first one out of there he forces himself to turn at the creature with his voice shaky at first he finds some courage as he finishes his spell. "Let's see if I can't distract this beast!" As he finishes the words a swarm of bats appear before the creature.
In the face of the most horrific monstrosity he has ever seen, Bloody Flag holds his ground and begins casting a spell. 1 round to complete Karsielle stands with him and attempts to identify the creature. She has never seen its like before, but recalls tales of something called a gibbering mouther. Still, there is something altogether different and worse about what she sees here.
Karsielle, can I get a clarification before continuing as to whether you are going to the door that the monster just burst through or whether you are making sure that you're at the door that leads toward the secret tunnel you just came from. Also recall that this confrontation is taking place in the cult's temple - nearly right in front of the altar.
Referring back to this map might help. Monster is at F7, you guys just came through door right under the #4.
Karsielle retreats through the door while Silas remains to bravely defend Bloody Flag in case the monster approaches. Taking a little GM liberty with your action Silas since Flag is going to be stuck there for a moment. If you'd rather just run, I'll retcon it.
Suny and Mishael follow Karsielle, running for safety. Just as they flee, a horrible mind-wrenching sound like a thousand tortured minds screaming for help erupts from the roiling mass approaching Silas and Bloody Flag. Will saves please It lurches forward, but apparently cannot move quickly and fortunately does not reach the pair. From one of the multitude of mouths, a cough like a diseased man in his last days erupts and a ball of phlegm erupts toward Bloody Flag. It strikes Flag right in the forehead and he feels acid begin to dissolve his skin as the fluid drips toward his eyes.
Ranged Touch1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18 Damage1d4 ⇒ 3acid damage and DC 14 Fort save or blinded for 1d4 ⇒ 3 rounds
Just then, what seem like a thousand bats erupts from a dark rent in the air right in front of Bloody Flag and swarm across the amorphous body of the creature.
"Just keep runin', jus' keep runnin', jus' keep runnin', jus' keep runnin'!" Is Suny's mantra as the soft patter of her nekkid feet sound along the exit through which every one is making their way.
Will Save:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
Fort save:1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Well thats not good is it.
Bloody Screams as the acid hits and blinds him, "AHH! WHAT IN THE NINE HELLS IS THAT?" He stumbles back to retreat reaching out frantically for his teammates to help lead him away.
Moving away from the creature as best as I can, Bats do 1d6 ⇒ 4 damage and will cause a bleed if they inflicted damage.
No, in fact its really bad. BF is now confused for 1d2 ⇒ 1 rounds and blinded for1d4 ⇒ 1 rounds. For this turn you will 1d100 ⇒ 90 attack the nearest creature...which happens to be Silas.[/ooc]
Moments after he screams, Bloody Flag makes a wild attempt to slug Silas in the face. Fortunately, the haymaker whistles harmlessly in front of Silas's nose.
Concealment1d100 ⇒ 76 Unarmed Strike1d20 + 3 - 1 ⇒ (4) + 3 - 1 = 6 Damage1d3 ⇒ 3
The ranger takes a few steps further back as Karsielle stops to call out, getting no answer from the now bewitched and befuddled Bloody Flag.
Silas, if you want to change your action in light of Bloody Flag's, you may. You have an attack of opportunity on BF should you choose. Karsielle, since calling out was just a free action, you may do as you please. I'm assuming Suny and Mishael are continuing to run. I'm going to hold off on a map, but the creature has nearly reached Bloody Flag.
Silas bravely steps forward in front of Flag and swings his longsword at the mass of bloody eyeballs and grasping mouths. He connects and is rewarded with a scream from the creature as his sword cuts through it roiling flesh. Blood and ichor splash across the flagstones and some of the bats swarming around the creature, flock away.
Grey shaded areas represents the bat swarm. Suny, Mishael, and Karisielle are all down the hallway behind the door in the upper left. The hallway and door are 5-feet, but since it is only allies up there, it won't impede your movement.
Karsielle rushes back to the room. Emerging from the doorway, she can see Bloody Flag blindly flailing his hands about and Silas standing bravely in front of a swirling cloud of bats that envelope the horrible writhing mass of eyeballs and toothy maws. Praying, she reaches out to touch Silas, offering Calistria's blessing on the ranger in his battle with the horror.
Suny follows Karsielle back to the room. She can see little through Karsielle's shape in the doorway, but she recalls that most of the room was made of stone and the only decor consisted of frescoes and the flowing runes of the cult. The only cloth she can recall is the robes of the cultists the group slew the first time they passed through the cultist's temple.
Suny, I don't remember exactly where the cultists fell, but if you want to take a double move to get to one of the bodies, I'll allow it and add you to the map. Just need to know before I act for the monster.
The naked brown form of Suny zips back into the temple chapel. She darts past Karsielle and spies one of the dead cultists still sprawled where the group slew him earlier. Suny skirts the edge of Bloody Flag's swarm of bats and pauses near the dead body.
Suny, I will need a DC 12 Will save for you to avoid succumbing to the gibbering noise of the monstrosity. Karsielle, I don't think you've had to save yet, so you will also need to make the same save.
Frustrated that Silas has interrupted its planned meal, the creature unleashes its full fury on the ranger barring its path. It spits a gob of acid at his face and then attempts to latch on with what seems like a swarm of razor-toothed bloody mouths.
The acid flies harmlessly over his head to splat against a fresco on the wall. It immediately begins fizzing and dissolving the evil symbols and images.
The mouths clutch and tear at Silas and a couple of them manage to pierce his defenses. But, try as it might, the creature is unable to grab hold of him. Spotting a softer victim get nearby, it moves toward Suny.
A bunch of attacks:
Ranged Touch1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 Damage (Acid)1d4 ⇒ 2DC 14 Fort save or blinded for 1d4 ⇒ 1rounds if that hits Mouth 1 Attack1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15for 1 hp Mouth 1 Grab (if it hits)1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13 Mouth 2 Attack1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23for 1 hp Mouth 2 Grab (if it hits)1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19 Mouth 3 Attack1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18for 1 hp Mouth 3 Grab (if it hits)1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21 Mouth 4 Attack1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12for 1 hp Mouth 4 Grab (if it hits)1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25 Mouth 5 Attack1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24for 1 hp Mouth 5 Grab (if it hits)1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11 Mouth 6 Attack1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13for 1 hp Mouth 6 Grab (if it hits)1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11 Mouth 7 Attack1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25for 1 hp Mouth 7 Grab (if it hits)1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13 I believe that even with the +2 AC from Protection from Evil, you are hit by mouths 2, 5, and 7 for 3 points of damage.
Silas, I may just be missing it, but don't see your CMD listed. I calculate it as 10 + 4 (BAB) + 4 (Strength) + 3 (Dexterity) +2 (Deflection) = 23
Will Save 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23 add +2 if vs charms and enchantments(elf)
Karsielle makes a grab at BF, hoping to pull him out of the conflict as she speaks to him, "Come now, away from this thing." and she moves him and herself away from the combat area.
If she succeeds in this, she calls out, "Come out now retreat!"
If BF is still acting as an enemy it will provoke an attack of opportunity. Combat Maneuver 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15
Bloody grabs either Suny or Kariselle and shouts "Just lead me out!
Retreat with guide, also this is the last round the bats are here since they last 2 rounds after I lost my concentration.
Bat damage:1d6 ⇒ 3
If they damage they have 1 bleed damage to the creature.
As soon as Bloody Flag calls out for help, Karsielle grabs him and guides him toward the door. Together, they manage to escape back through the doorway.
Silas continues to battle the disgusting, nightmarish pile of eyes and mouths. Both sword and dagger connect with satisfying gravity, but the creature continues to fight on.
Suny attempts to use the pillar as a shield to help slip past the gibbering terror, but just as she thinks she is about to escape, a tendril of tissue with a maw of yellowed teeth lurches out to snatch at her. Fortunately, the teeth merely snap loudly closed, narrowly missing her exposed hamstring as she hops past. Suny also makes it through the doorway and into the hall.
AoO1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8for 1 hp if it hits Mouth Grab (if it hits)1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12
As Kariselle reaches the hallway, Mishael grabs for her and Flag and helps them move further to safety.
A terrible howl erupts from the creature as all of its victims except Silas escape from the chapel. It turns its frustration on the ranger standing in to protect everyone else's retreat.
A gob of acid strikes Silas just above his hairline and begins running down into his eyes. 1 hp damage and DC 14 Fort save or blinded for 2 rounds Many mouths lash out attempting to lash onto him to pull him into its mass. Three of them strike him (3 hp damage)
Bunch of Attacks:

I am making this thread the official call for people to submit their PC's for consideration of playing in my PbP, which will be 0one Game's Urban Adventure "A Pound of Flesh" set in Freeport. It is a 1st level adventure in a port town that is more investigative than combat oriented.
Here are the details I'm looking for:
- PC's will be chosen based on their back story and perceived ability to be creative and have fun!
- Although it is not necessary to be play, 2 of the 4 characters chosen will be classes from the Pathfinder Freeport Companion.
- I will set Freeport in Golarion, so all of those deities and traits will apply.
- Use the heroic method for ability scores (2d6 and add 6). We will use average HP beyond first.
- Gunpowder will be allowed, but I will use the weapons and rules for that from the Pathfinder Freeport Companion Book.
- The Azhari alternative race from the Freeport Companion will be allowed.
- Please let me know what time zone you reside in.
- Players will be expected to post once a day during the week. Weekends and holidays are not expected but, hey, if you have the time!
- Please let me know if you own the Companion book are not.
- Deadline for PC submission is end of day this Friday, June 10th.
For now I am planning on running just this acclaimed adventure. After it is over, I'll see how much time I have and where to go from there. I am a patron on Open Design's "Streets of Zobeck" and "Dark Deeds in Freeport", so I may continue the PbP with an adventure out of one of those books when this one is over.
I reside in Central Standard Time here in the USA, which I think equates to GMT-6. As said before I don't own the Companion, though I suppose I could get it. I do like learning about new settings, and ok fine I'll go buy a pdf now. Expect something around Thursday, as that's my next day off. That'll give me plenty of time to read the book and put something together.
Thinking about making a Ranger, though I profess that anything calling itself a Gunslinger, etc, piques my interest. I'll get back to you.

Wandslinger, I wouldn't buy the book if you plan on playing a ranger. Plus, the book I am talking about is the Pathfinder Companion, which is basically the Pathfinder stats for using "The Pirate's Guide to Freeport", which is the setting-neutral campaign setting. If you plan on on making a base class PC or one from the APG, then you won't need any Freeport books.
I definitely don't want to make people go out and purchase anything just to play this PbP.
Awesome, love the dialect! Could you roll your ability scores here and maybe add some additional background info? You can do that here, no need to update your character page at this time.
And we're all starting at 1st level. What about starting as a Survivor from the Pathfinder Companion instead of a fighter for your first level?
As fer me way o' speakin'...well some folks, they find it a tad hard t' take some time or t'other, so's I'll try not t' lay it on too thick, like. Ye ken? (^_~)
I'll have to dig the book out of where ever I've put it last, to work out what Survivor does again.
The survivor is a good unarmed combatant, has a d12 HD, but doesn't get armor proficiency. Just a suggestion, please be sure to make what you'd enjoy playing!
Hayo! I'm new to the site and am looking to join a game. I saw your ad for a Pbp and would like put put forth my character for consideration. Please note that I do not have the Freeport companion though I can acquire it easily Thursday if needed. I live in the central time zone and my character is a Kobold sorcerer of the Draconic bloodline. I am still new to this method of gaming. How exactly does it work?
Just dotting for now, since I do not have the book yet. I have ordered it but I doubt I'll get it before Friday. I have some older Freeport material, though, and love the setting.
The character in my mind is Dennick Onfrey, second son of an instrument-maker and notorious dreamer. One of his pipe-dreams is to find some magical way of bottling his own dreams and selling them for profit, but right now he is reduced to collecting stories and trying to find adventure to tell people about.
He's probably going to be a half-elven bard or possibly an inquisitor of Desna.
Oh...we add racial adjustments to the dice rolls, right?
Yes, you would add/subtract racial abilities on top of the rolls, so those aren't bad numbers actually.

Welcome to the boards! You do not need to purchase the Freeport Companion if you'd like to submit a base or core class. I'd say a halfling would be more suited for Freeport than a kobold.
Wow, that Organize ability sure has changed since the Noble's Handbook / Spirosblaak versions. I might be reading it wrong, but it seems wicked abusable, with the right sort of setup. Then again, it is the 'big thing' of the Noble class, so perhaps it should be pretty sexy...
In addition to the Azhari (which could make for an atypical Barbarian choice, with their strength-boosting racial ability), the Serpentfolk have PC-able stats in the monster section, and look pretty hot.
I don't have the time to add another PBP at this time, but, gosh, I do want to keep an eye on it, to see how the Noble, in particular, plays.
I'm in the UK, don't have access to the Freeport book and post once a day or look in at least once a day. I've got a couple of 3.5 Freeport adventures, but know little more about it, other than the setting sounds very cool. This is a character that I just started to put together for a different game, but the entries closed before I could add her details. An elven female cleric of Calistra, (or maybe change her to an Oracle, but cleric was the first call.)
It's not just treasure and pretty artifacts that make the men leave their ways and seek out fortunes. No, sometimes it's information and sometimes it's just a pretty face. Well, meet Karsielle an elven maiden, for she has both beauty and the ability to find out information that you'd rather keep hidden. Some say the pen is mightier than the sword, but Karsielle knows better, for it is the flop that protects you, that does your bidding that is mightier than both these, for there is an never ending supply of them, for creatures such as her.
Like the goddess she serves, her attentions though sensual and loving have a sting in the tail, if you're not careful. Many a man she has been loved and left to rot, their minds obsessed with her, like lapdogs they return, slaves for her company.
Now it is the turn of Freeport to feel her attentions, she can surely find the men to keep her clothed and fed with the finest the city can offer. She will surely find many who can provide her with the the cold information of power as she supplies the warmth of her love. For this in the stuff of power and wealth that she will eventually use to provide for her rich and varied needs. For her warmth has a price and it will be paid, one way or another.
Only a few know her history, and they are the secretive elves that sent her to Freeport, to follow and watch the comings and goings. They have their eye on Freeport, to what end, even Karsielle is not aware.
In short a freelance spy, but using magics to obtain the information she desires. She could just as easily be a sorcerer, but I like her with the domains of luck and lust(from the APG)
I would like to put my hat in the ring as well, I wanna make a Half-orc magus or a free hand fighter. Was going with a bounty hunter as well but seeing silas made one i'll kick up another idea with it.
2d6 + 6 ⇒ (3, 6) + 6 = 15 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (2, 6) + 6 = 14 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (3, 1) + 6 = 10 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (1, 2) + 6 = 9 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (5, 6) + 6 = 17 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (5, 1) + 6 = 12

Deadly Aim -1/+2 Trade a penalty to ranged attacks for a bonus to ranged damage.
Deeds Gunslingers spend grit points to accomplish deeds. Most deeds grant the gunslinger some momentary bonus or effect, but there are some that provide longerlasting effects. Some deeds stay in effect as long as a gunslinger has at least 1 grit point. The
Elf Blood You are counted as both elves and humans for any effect relating to race.
Elven Immunities +2 save bonus vs Enchantments.
Elven Immunities - Sleep You are immune to Sleep effects.
Grit (Ex) A gunslinger makes her mark upon the world with daring deeds. Some gunslingers claim they belong to a mystical way of the gun, but it's more likely that the volatile and dangerous nature of firearms simply prunes the unlucky and careless from their r

Leap for Cover (Ex) At 1st level, the gunslinger gains an uncanny knack for getting out of the way of ranged attacks. When a ranged attack is made against the gunslinger, she can spend 1 grit point to move 5 feet as an immediate action; doing so grants the gunslinger a
Low-Light Vision See twice as far as a human in low light, distinguishing color and detail.

I hope this game doesn't die out like some games I have been in lately. I'm still asking what is up so far as race/class and how many players? like do we need a cleric so I can make one or should I keep the summoner?
If we don't get more players who set up a character with a good background we won't be able to start! C'mon, let's see some good stuff!
This is more of a investigation instead of a dungeon crawl, so having a cleric is not essential at all. I'd say just make a character that you'd enjoy playing.
I dont know anything about Freeport but Id love to hop in as a rogue. I dont have my book with me but can write up something later today. im in the EST and can post a couple of times a day during the week and a few times over the weekends.

Using this ability requires 3 rounds of continuous performance, and the targets must be able to see and hear the bard throughout the performance. This ability is languagedependent and requires visual and audible components. This performance replaces inspire courage.
Countersong

You can counter magic effects that depend on sound (but not spells that have verbal components). Each round of the countersong you make a Perform (keyboard, percussion, wind, string, or sing) skill check. Any creature within 30 feet (including yourself) that is affected by a sonic or language-dependent magical attack may use your Perform check result in place of its saving throw if, after the saving throw is rolled, the Perform check result proves to be higher. If a creature within range of the countersong is already under the effect of a noninstantaneous sonic or language-dependent magical attack, it gains another saving throw against the effect each round it hears the countersong, but it must use your Perform skill check result for the save. Countersong does not work on effects that don't allow saves. Countersong relies on audible components.

You wouldn't have lived to make it out of childhood without the aid of a sibling, friend, or companion on whom you could always count to distract your enemies long enough to do a little bit more damage than normal. When you hit a foe you are flanking, you deal an additional 1 point of damage (this damage is added to your base damage, and is multiplied on a critical hit). This additional damage is a trait bonus.

Fascinate
Fascinate (Su) wrote:
You can use your performance to cause up to 1 creatures to become fascinated with you. Each creature to be fascinated must be within 90 feet, able to see and hear you, and capable of paying attention to you. You must also be able to see the creatures affected. The distraction of a nearby combat or other dangers prevents this ability from working. Each creature within range receives a Will save (DC 14) to negate the effect. If a creature's saving throw succeeds, you cannot attempt to fascinate that creature again for 24 hours. If its saving throw fails, the creature sits quietly and observes your performance for as long as you continue to maintain it. While fascinated, a target takes a -4 penalty on all skill checks made as reactions, such as Perception checks. Any potential threat to the target allows the target to make a new saving throw against the effect. Any obvious threat, such as someone drawing a weapon, casting a spell, or aiming a weapon at the target, automatically breaks the effect. Fascinate is an enchantment (compulsion), mind-affecting ability. Fascinate relies on audible and visual components in order to function.

Harry's Background:
Little Harry did not have an easy childhood, but who did? Sure, he got into a lot of sticky places, but his glib tongue and quick wit kept him out of a lot more. See, Harry had a knack for figuring people out. Once he knew what made a person tick, he could usually figure out a way to work it to his advantage.
When he wasn't getting himself out of trouble, he would build friendships and a reputation with his charm and talent; for Harry was not too shabby a musician, if he did say so himself. Once he got too old to busk for copper on the streets, he found a group of performers to throw in with. 'Bawdy Bill', the leader of the troupe, quickly became a role model for Harry, who soon began learning the secrets to some of Bill's magical repertoire.
Bill and his bunch would perform in various bars for their livings, and until he was 'stage-ready', Harry was only allowed to help set up for the acts, fetch cider and meals for the crew, and occasionally shill the crowd, if it wasn't lively enough. Bill promised one day he'd go on stage one day as 'Harry Northwind'; his purpose would have been to open the act for the rest of the troupe with his flute performances.
Things had been going okay for Harry. He had a steady income, a hopeful future, and ample opportunity to perfect his craft. Until one day he could find neither hide nor tail of Bill...

background:
Ailis Murkham was the son of a noble elf named Gurrion and his commoner human mistress. When his father found out about Ailis's birth, he had his mistress banished for Ailis was his only son. He kept Ailis and raised the boy as his heir. This went on until Ailis was 20 years old. Then his father had a son with his wife. Suddenly Ailis was a threat. His half-blood was hard to hide Gurrion now had a full elven son to take the mantle. He would have no competition so he framed Ailis for stealing from the family coffers and disowned him. Ailis fled, he wondered for a time and soon found himself raised by mercenaries. These mercenaries were experts at using firearms and they taught him as well. For four years he trained with them and worked with them. Eventually the mercs luck ran out. They got a job cleaning monsters out of a mine. They traveled to deep and a dragon attacked the band and wiped out all but Ailis and another merc named Henore. Henore took most of the possessions but left Ailis's master's revolver with him along with a couple hundred gold pieces. Now Ailis was on his own again. He had heard stories of the sea and Freeport was near so that is where he headed to find his next path.
Hey Snivel, I’ve had to move this week but it will end tomorrow so I won't be able to finalize the character till late Friday night. My Idea is a half-elf bard (street performer) by the name Kazmir Voltiss, but many know him as "Bloody Flag" the merciless killer.
Kazimir's History:
Kazmir was a coward at heart starting early in his life. He had aspirations to be a great actor in the Chelix theaters but with a string of bad luck ended him aboard a slave ship heading to Freeport. During the trip the crew was attacked by a passing pirate ship. As the Slavers were being slaughtered Kaz found a way out of manacles and instead of saving his fellow slaves he did what he does best hide and hope no one finds him. Kaz still doesn't know what exactly happened to the invading party and the slavers but when he came out after the screaming had stopped they were all dead. Each one was torn apart; Kaz didn't know how to operate a ship and thought he would die at sea. Then on the horizon he see's another ship approaching the vessel and it seemed to be hostile. So Kazmir quickly acted, he gathered various clothing and armor from the slavers and pirates. He put together an evil looking out fit and covered himself in with the slaver's bloody flag and grabbed the most intimidating weapon there a bastard sword. As the pirate ship came aboard he sneaked over to the other ship and when the raiding party went aboard he appeared right behind them saying with a growl "What are you doing in my slaughter house." Somehow his acting paid off because none of the crew wanted to fight him, not even the Captain. They gave him passage to Freeport, and since then Kazimir has gone by two names, first is his own Kazmir Voltiss wandering performer that was the one who spread the legend of Bloody Flag. He mostly travels in the Bloody Flagg persona to avoid getting hurt and so far has been able to Intimidate his was through all of his fights. His confidence is higher but he still relies to much on Bloody Flag and still hasn't learned how to swing his sword. So that’s the basic concept let me know what you think of it. I will have the character made late Friday night.

Hey! Hey! Hey!
*points to self*
Whut about meself here! I've even offered t' use two o' th' classes from yer book o' reference.
Dun't I get a look in?
*Bounces up and down, trying to attract more attention.*
Hey Snivel, I’ve had to move this week but it will end tomorrow so I won't be able to finalize the character till late Friday night.
No worries, Kazimir is in the running. No need for a complete character build at this point, I'm mainly looking at the class being played and the background story. Thanks!

Yes, sorry! I overlooked you. Good job.
OK great, this is shaping up! Looks like there is no need to extend the cutoff for submissions. We'll end it tonight and I'll let everyone know tomorrow. Thanks for the interest!
Just stopping by to put in a good word for Roidrage and Shanosuke as I have had the pleasure of role playing with both of these fine players and they will make great addition to any game.
Eoidrage is a current player in my Hollow's Last Hope pbp and is very good about posting on a regular basis and has really gotten into the character which adds a lot to the game.
While Shanosuke is new to the boards I've known him in RL for over 10 years now and is a pleasure to game with both as a player and a GM. He has a firm understanding of the rules so as a DM you won't find many mistakes in what he does.
