Emerald Kingdoms (Inactive)

Game Master Kevin O'Rourke 440

Jynn T'Soryn is one of the proud elves of Kyonin, having grown up for most of his life in the in the sweeping lands that the large nation hosts. It was here that he learned of and worshiped the gods of old. He agreed with his race that Golarion had changed for the better in the elves absence, having studied his race's history but he could not agree whole-heartedly with his Queen's belief that peace can easily be brokered between the elves and the humans. In particular, it was the lands of the River Kingdoms that seemed to worry him most. The constant state of war, the encroachment upon nature and the desolation of lands they covert and war over.

It was in this reason that he once upon he grew of age, had served his time that he took it upon himself to do something as part of the Winter Council. While he didn't agree with the Queen fully, he also didn't agree with the Winter Council completely. It was because of this, that he took up his arms, and slipped carefully into the untamed lands of the River Kingdoms. His infiltration was a success, at least as far as he was concerned. He made his way about the lands listening to gossip till he found out about the charters offered to tame the lands. He decided this was perhaps where he could do the most to help his Queen.

While he knew that he could never lead a party, at least from a formal position, he could at least become a valued and useful member of the group. If the charter was successful, and the group was rewarded, then perhaps he might be in a position to influence the lands one day. He would use his race's advantage, time, to help shape the humans hopefully in a way that would make for relations that both the Queen and her nation could agree to formally commit a pact with. If such a thing could happen, then perhaps some of the lands the elves had lost to the humans could be presented back to them, and in doing so the humans could find ways to be persuaded to live more peaceably with themselves and the world itself. It was for all this and more for the future that Jynn pushed forwards and signed up fight for the right to be a part of the charter.

Born from blood and death, Arlo Anok was like most of the Kellid. Born to harsh times and contact fighting and war. Part of a Barbarian tribe in Numeria their never-ending fight with the Technic League and any that wish to push them from their homes.

The elders spoke of their eternal movement how they had been pushed from their once lush ancestral homestead. A land of wilderness that was tamed by his ancestors before they were pushed out into the sand.
He was taught at an early age to be ruthless anything less would mean death, he knew no love from his family he knew only pain and those who couldn’t stand it died and those who could become a Kellid ragers.

Ruthless in all things he was strong, but he knew the meaning of strength. You needed to be smart to survival in this harsh world.

That’s when it happened his tribe was set on again and as the elders spoke of, their eternal movement was to happen once more. They were forced to move as half of their number were wiped out by the Technic League, they brought magic and destruction on them. Magic... a weak man’s tool.

Being one of a hand full of ragers to survive he decided to strive out from his tribe he had nothing holding him back, he was taught clan loyalty but there was nothing for him now, he had a homeland that was ravished. But to die or worse become a slave would be a waste, he promised revenge he promised he would be back to reclaim it all.

So, he set off gathering up very little that he could and headed off on horseback to Brevoy to seek out something more than, something he could test his strength against and that’s when he heard of the Stolen Lands and his people's rightful place.

He joined an expedition into the Stolen Lands, they say the expedition was doomed and never expected them to return but Arlo head strength, wisdom and his desire to see his people ancestral home return to him again. He would use everything he was taught and learned to take it back by force if needed.

Spellbook (Wizard's/Blank)

SPECIAL ABILITIES

Arcane Bond (Ex) When a spirit whisperer chooses an arcane bond, he must choose the familiar arcane bond, and the familiar gains the spirit animal ability of his selected spirit (see spirit link, below). The spirit whisperer does not need a spellbook, but instead stores and prepares his spell by communing with the familiar as the witch's familiar class feature (Advanced Player's Guide 67). This ability alters arcane bond and replaces the spellbooks class feature.

Arcane Bond (Su) You have selected to establish a powerful arcane bond with a creature.

Cantrips You can prepare a number of cantrips, or 0-level spells, each day. These spells are cast like any other spell, but they are not expended when cast and may be used again. You can prepare a cantrip from a prohibited school, but it uses up two of your available slots.

Familiar A familiar grants special abilities to its master. These special abilities apply only when the master and familiar are within 1 mile of each other.

Familiar's Alertness ability active (Ex) PC has a familiar that has the Alertness (Ex) ability and it is within arms' reach, the master gains the Alertness feat.

Pioneer (Ride) You have long lived along the southern border of Brevoy, in the shadow of wilderness known as the Stolen Lands. Life has been hard, but through hunting, trapping, trading, and coaxing crops from the freezing earth, you've learned how to survive on the rugged frontier. With the wilderness ever at your door, you've also learned much about its denizens and the wild creatures that lurk in that unwholesome land. Your family might even claim holdings in the Stolen Lands, with elders telling stories of being driven from or robbed of a lost ancestral homestead, fertile farmlands, bountiful orchards, or a hidden mining claim. Whether because of your personal expertise and familiarity with the borderlands or in order to reclaim your family's land, you've joined the expedition into the Stolen Lands. You begin play with a horse.

Rich Parents You were born into a rich family, perhaps even the nobility. Your starting cash increases to 900 gp.

Spirit Ability: A shaman who chooses the nature spirit as her spirit or wandering spirit gains the following ability. Storm Burst (Su): As a standard action, the shaman causes a small storm of swirling wind and rain to form around one creature within 30 feet. This storm causes the target
to treat all foes as if they had concealment, suffering a 20% miss chance for i round plus i round for every 4 shaman levels she possesses. The shaman can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + her Charisma modifier. At 11th level, any weapon she wields is treated as
a thundering weapon.

Spirit Link (Su) At 1st level, a spirit whisperer forms a mystical bond with a spirit. The spirit whisperer picks a spirit from the shaman's list of spirits (see page 37). At 1st level, he gains a spirit ability granted by that spirit. At 8th level, he gains the greater spirit ability granted by that spirit. At 20th level, the spirit whisperer gains the manifestation ability granted by the spirit. He uses his wizard level as his shaman level for determining the effects and DCs of abilities granted by the spirit. In addition, he uses his Intelligence modifier in place of his Wisdom modifier for these abilities. He does not gain hexes, spirit magic spells, or the true spirit ability typically granted to a shaman by these spirits. This ability replaces arcane school and the bonus feat gained at 20th level.

SPECIAL ABILITIES

Alertness (Ex) While a familiar is within arm's reach, the master gains the Alertness feat.

Empathic Link (Su) The master has an empathic link with his familiar to a 1 mile distance. The master can communicate emphatically with the familiar, but cannot see through its eyes. Because of the link's limited nature, only general emotions can be shared. The master has the same connection to an item or place that his familiar does.
Familiar

Improved Evasion (Ex) When subjected to an attack that normally allows a Reflex saving throw for half damage, an animal companion takes no damage if it makes a successful saving throw and only half damage if the saving throw fails.

Low-Light Vision (Ex) You can see x2 as far as humans in low illumination. Characters with low-light vision have eyes that are so sensitive to light that they can see twice as far as normal in dim light. Low-Light Vision is color vision. A spellcaster with low-light vision can read a scroll as long as even the tiniest candle flame is next to her as a source of light. Characters with low-light vision can see outdoors on a moonlit night as well as they can during the day.

Share Spells (Ex) The master may cast a spell with a target of "You" on her animal companion (as a spell with a range of touch) instead of on herself. A master may cast spells on her animal companion even if the spells normally do not affect creatures of the companion's type (animal). Spells cast in this way must come from a class that grants an animal companion. This ability does not allow the animal to share abilities that are not spells, even if they function like spells.

Speak One Language (Su) The familiar can speak one language of its master's choice as a supernatural ability.

For her social climbing parents Nishka was always just too much. Too tall. Too interested in other things than marrying into the Nobility. Too inclined to hold long conversations with things no one else could see?

Nishka herself likes nature, especially painting it, and studying magic. When she heard of the expeditions to reclaim the stolen lands she thought it sounded like a wonderful chance to find and paint scenes unseen for hundreds of years.

So she announced that she was leaving to join an expedition, accepted some money from her parents, and set off to Restov. Just how the rather unworldly Nishka is going to find things will be interesting.

Her parents expect her to return home in a hurry, shocked by how unpleasant life is among the less affluent. Nishka on the other hand finds living without constant expectations on her dress, behaviour and availability a refreshing change.

She is competent in magic, and actually is rather well read in a variety of subjects. She is also oddly practiced at haggling and pricing.

Darya hailed from a family of farmers from the south-eastern border of Rostland, almost by the unofficial boundary of the Stolen Lands. Life there was harsh, and so the people were hardy, no-nonsense folk, for the most part - Darya was a notable black sheep.

Atrocious at farmwork - more for lack of interest and compulsive shirking of her duties than genuine incompetence - she was fairly talented at fighting and prone to violence. That alone would have been tolerable, landing the girl in the militia or among the hunters (where she did end up eventually), but there was also the matter of her character.

She was a dreamer, hungry for outlandish tales from the outside world and acclaim of her own. Furthermore, her rowdy and exuberant nature demanded entertainment well in excess of what was considered proper. Her fondness for carousing, strong drinks and sleeping around caused more than their share of disapproving murmurs over the years.

Perhaps the one person who genuinely adored her - outside of little kids who saw a 'cool and approachable big sister' - was Darya's grandfather, a retired soldier who would often gripe about the younger generations' lack of spine and willingness to obediently toil away until someone came and took the fruits of their labour again. His tales of former prosperity of the Stolen Lands found an avid listener in the unruly girl and strongly contributed to her decision to join the reclamation effort when the word got out.

As such, after a round relieved (due to peaceful resolution of growing tensions) goodbyes, Darya found herself on the road to Restov, in hopes of joining one of the parties chartered to officially claim lands in the southern wilderness.

SPECIAL ABILITIES

Animal Companion (Ex) At 1st level, a hunter forms a bond with an animal companion. A hunter may begin play with any of the animals on the druid list. This animal is a loyal companion that accompanies the hunter on her adventures. The hunter's effective druid level is equal to her hunter level. If a character receives an animal companion from more than one source, her effective druid levels stack for the purposes of determining the statistics and abilities of the companion. If a hunter releases her companion from service or her animal companion perishes, she may gain a new one by performing a ceremony requiring 24 uninterrupted hours of prayer in the environment where the sought companion typically lives. The animal companion can use skirmisher tricks when commanded, a number of times per day equal to half its Hit Dice plus its Wisdom modifier

Animal Focus (Su) You can take on the aspect of an animal as a swift action, gaining a bonus or special ability based on the type of animal emulated. The ability is usable 1 minutes per day. The animal companion gets a constant benefit.

Blood of Dragons Long ago, your ancestors' blood mixed with that of dragons. Choose one of the following: gain a +1 trait bonus on Perception checks, gain low-light vision, or gain a +2 trait bonus on saving throws against effects that cause sleep or paralysis.

Low-Light Vision (Ex) You can see x2 as far as humans in low illumination. Characters with low-light vision have eyes that are so sensitive to light that they can see twice as far as normal in dim light. Low-Light Vision is color vision. A spellcaster with low-light vision can read a scroll as long as even the tiniest candle flame is next to her as a source of light. Characters with low-light vision can see outdoors on a moonlit night as well as they can during the day.

Nature Training (Ex) Count as druid or ranger for feats, traits, and options that modify or improve an animal companion. [Not implemented].

Orisons Hunters can prepare a number of orisons, or 0-level spells, each day, as noted on Table 1-6 under "Spells per Day." These spells are cast like any other spell, but they are not expended when cast and may be used again.

Pioneer (Perception) You have long lived along the southern border of Brevoy, in the shadow of wilderness known as the Stolen Lands. Life has been hard, but through hunting, trapping, trading, and coaxing crops from the freezing earth, you've learned how to survive on the rugged frontier. With the wilderness ever at your door, you've also learned much about its denizens and the wild creatures that lurk in that unwholesome land. Your family might even claim holdings in the Stolen Lands, with elders telling stories of being driven from or robbed of a lost ancestral homestead, fertile farmlands, bountiful orchards, or a hidden mining claim. Whether because of your personal expertise and familiarity with the borderlands or in order to reclaim your family's land, you've joined the expedition into the Stolen Lands. You begin play with a horse.

Scent (Ex) You can detect approaching enemies, sniff out hidden foes, and track by sense of smell. You can identify familiar odors just as humans do familiar sights. You can detect opponents within 30 feet by sense of smell. If the opponent is upwind, the range increases to 60 feet; if downwind, it drops to 15 feet. Strong scents, such as smoke or rotting garbage, can be detected at twice the ranges noted above. Overpowering scents, such as skunk musk or troglodyte stench, can be detected at triple normal range. When you detect a scent, the exact location of the source is not revealed--only its presence somewhere within range. You can take a move action to note the direction of the scent. When you are within 5 feet of the source, you pinpoint the source's location. You can follow tracks by smell, making a Wisdom (or Survival) check to find or follow a track. The typical DC for a fresh trail is 10 (no matter what kind of surface holds the scent). This DC increases or decreases depending on how strong the quarry's odor is, the number of creatures, and the age of the trail. For each hour that the trail is cold, the DC increases by 2. The ability otherwise follows the rules for the Survival skill. When tracking by scent you ignore the effects of surface conditions and poor visibility.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency Hunters proficient with all simple and martial weapons and with light armor, medium armor, and shields (except tower shields).

Wild Empathy (Ex) At 1st level, a hunter can improve the initial attitude of an animal. This ability functions just like a Diplomacy check to improve the attitude of a person (see Chapter 4 of the Core Rulebook). The hunter rolls 1d20 and adds 1 (Hunter level + Charisma modifier + any other bonuses) to determine the wild empathy check result. The typical domestic animal has a starting attitude of indifferent, while wild animals are usually unfriendly.

Barek is a hulking young man of Kellid descent. His forefather moved to Brevoy generations ago and settled close to Restov. Running a Tannery to deal with the many hides needed for leather.

Barek really hates working in a tannery and spends more time out with the trappers than working at home. Along with the scarred mongrel he rescued from starvation a few years ago. Barek much prefers being out in the wilderness and often would be alone in the wilds for days.

When news of the expeditions come through their area Barek decided this was his chance. Even if nothing comes of it he still gets to explore the wilderness for a long time. He took his savings, bought some equipment and a horse. Setting off to Restov.

Barek can handle himself in a fight, has some magic to help the party, and is good at surviving in the wilderness, and identifying what is found.

He doesn’t talk too much, preferring to be out alone with only Mong for company, but has accepted he’ll need to get along and work with a party.

Blue will multiclass to a Bard of undecided archetype, probably at level 2 or latest level 3

This replaces the bonus skill rank humans receive at each level.

Traits

Arcane Temper You gain a +1 trait bonus on concentration and initiative checks.

Weapon Finesse (link) With a light weapon, rapier, whip, or spiked chain made for a creature of your size category, you may use your Dexterity modifier instead of your Strength modifier on attack rolls. If you carry a shield, its armor check penalty applies to your attack rolls.

Weapon Focus, Dueling Swords (link) You gain a +1 bonus on all attack rolls you make using the selected weapon.

Slashing Grace (link) Choose one kind of light or one-handed slashing weapon (such as the longsword). When wielding your chosen weapon one-handed, you can treat it as a one-handed piercing melee weapon for all feats and class abilities that require such a weapon (such as a swashbuckler’s or a duelist’s precise strike) and you can add your Dexterity modifier instead of your Strength modifier to that weapon’s damage. The weapon must be one appropriate for your size. You do not gain this benefit while fighting with two weapons or using flurry of blows, or any time another hand is otherwise occupied.

Stefan stood, shirtless, in the warm sunlight, the sweat glistened off his lean but well-muscled frame. He remained stationary for several seconds with his blade held out before him in the guard position. With little warning he exploded into motion, his sword a blur, as he went through his forms again; advance, feint, thrust, parry and riposte. As he continued going through the movements, faster and faster each time, his mind wanders to the past ….

On Guard, his youth…

Stefan was like many of the third or fourth sons of the minor houses of Brevoy, a dreamer. He grew up on his family manor within the city of Restov with tales of the Aldori Swordlords and their unmatched heroics. His family, the Tsveltkovs, are a minor, but well respected, noble house with tenuous family ties to Choral the Conquer and his dragon blood. His parents spared no expense in the education of their children, and so Stefan enjoyed instruction in academics, etiquette, equestrian arts, swordsmanship as well as magic. All agreed that the dragon blood was strong in Stefan as he was an energetic and inquisitive student who excelled at his lessons. Over time he grew accustomed to the attention and deference of servants and tutors, accordingly his arrogance and vanity grew in equal proportion.

Advance, 2 years ago…

The Tsveltkov’s were a self-absorbed family and Stefan’s parents interests centered on the next social gathering, latest fashions, or court rumors. Thus they ignored all but their eldest child and in turn Stefan’s elder siblings ignored him. With one exception, his sister Nytasha became his one true friend, closest confidant, and sometime rival. Nytasha was two years his senior and strong in the dragon blood as well. She was beautiful, and devastating with the sword, their tutor often marveled at her abilities. It came as no surprise when, soon after she graduated from the Aldori Academy, she announced that she was leaving to go on an expedition into the untamed lands of the south. However, all of the family was shocked when their father, teary eyed, bestowed the family sword, Night’s Edge, into her care.

Feint, 10 Months ago

In the beginning letters came regularly from Nytasha describing her many exploits. Soon the weekly missives turned into a monthly note and the patriarch of the Tsveltkov family grew worried with concern for his daughter and the blade Night’s Edge. Stefan’s father could often be found in the evening pacing in his study or inspecting maps of the stolen lands. Nevertheless Stefan pressed on in his studies spending hours each day preparing for his admittance duel, the gateway into the Aldori Academy.

Thrust, 1 month ago

There was no fanfare or posturing nobles as Stefan knelt over the prone form of his opponent’s body. Rather there was the startled gasp that arose out of the crowd punctuated by the sound of Stefan’s labored breathing. He had done the unthinkable and used magic to gain advantage over his opponent during his admittance a duel to the Aldori Academy.

He walked away in shame, all the time, effort, and coin wasted because he let his pride get in the way. He wondered what he would do now.

Parry and riposte, 2 weeks ago

The Tsvelkovs hadn’t heard from Nytasha in nine months and Stefan’s father became more and more distraught. At his wits end Stefan’s father charged him to find his sister and to restore the family blade. Stefan wondered which his father wanted to find more, Nytasha or the blade.

Stefan looked back at the family manor one last time wondering if this was the last time he would set eyes on it. Pulling his cloak tighter around him, Stefan clutched his sister’s last letter as he focused on a single name that he hoped would lead him toward finding his sister and his family’s sword.
Oleg.

Stefan, in the manner of most young men born to a life of privilege, tends to be brash and headstrong. His upbringing in one of Brevoy's minor noble houses has left him prickly about his family's honor and he appears to be driven by his youthful arrogance, vanity as well as a thirst for recognition. However, he is friendly, outgoing, and gregarious by nature believing that it is better to make a friend then an enemy. Unfortunately, he often gives advice in a condescending manner to those he considers of a lesser station. Those who know him best appreciate Stefan's wry sense of humor and know him as a lover of debate, sword play, horse racing, and pipe smoking.

Stefan stands a little under six feet tall with a lean but well-muscled build, he looks older than his years and carries himself with an air of confidence. He is good looking and light skinned with piercing green eyes. His long, aristocratic, face is covered by a well-groomed beard and is framed by shoulder length light brown hair that always looks askew. Stefan favors well-made clothing in vibrant colors and he is never far from his dueling sword which usually hangs from a scabbard at his belt along with an assortment of pouches.
