Falcon's Hallow (Inactive)

Game Master Hokina

Perched at the edge of civilized lands, the small town of Falcon’s Hollow has always had to rely on itself to solve its problems. Meanwhile, the uncaring lumber barons squeeze the common folk for every last copper, deaf to their pleas. Now the hacking coughs of the sick are heard throughout town. The plague has come to Falcon’s Hollow and the town’s leaders can’t be bothered to stop it.

Hello. I am a new-ish GM. I am running the Beginners Box (with normal PF rules) on a different site right now, but it is slow moving.

Hollow’s last Hope is very short. Falcon's Hollow has a list of modules that fit well with each other well. So if this module works out, and the players want, we can move on to the next one.

I am looking for 4 players for this pbp.

Town Background:
Falcon's Hollow is the town founded on the edge of Darkmoon Vale. Darkmoon Vale is the only place that grows the rare Darkmoon wood. Many come to this town to seek their riches. Most find themselves working for the Lumber Consortium. The work is hard, and the pay is small.

Character Creation Guidelines:
Starting level: 1st, Fast xp advancement.
Stats: 25 point buy
Hit Points: Max at first level, Half round up after.
Starting Gold: 100 or average starting gold.
Classes: Core, Base, Hybrid.
Races: Core, but you can ask if you want to play any of the other common playable races. Over 90% of town pop is human.
Traits: 2. You may (but don't have to) pick 1 from this 3rd party.

Character Background:
The traits linked above can help with ideas.
Darkmoon wood is the largest trade. Maybe you were hired as a caravan guard or traveled with the caravan to see/study the Darkmoon woods. Maybe to find out why the Darkmoon wood grows so well here, but fails to grow anywhere else.

submitting this guy as he just got out of a hallows last hope campaign. Now I do have to readjust him to fit the creation requirements for this game, but the background and personality part is finished.

Hmm. I'll get back to you on a human inquisitor of Iomedae for your consideration.

Dotting this with great interest. I've always wanted to play in the Darkmoon Vale series, but never caught recruitment on time.

As someone who has GMed most of the Darkmoon Vale modules on this site, I applaud your choice of to do a module before you do an AP! If you need any statblocks/maps/ideas please feel free to PM me, I have tons.

So far we have done
Hollows Last Hope
Crown of the Kobold King
Pallid Princess (PFS scenarion set in the Vale)
Carnival of Tears
Revenge of the Kobold King
and a ton of Homebrew stuff including electing a mayor and new sheriff of Falcons Hollow
We are currently on Tower of the Last Baron.

I presume that you do not want to deal with psionics. At least not yet.

I am glad there is interest. It does not look like I put a time table in the OP. So how does have a submission in by the 18th sound?

I presume that you do not want to deal with psionics. At least not yet.

I have not been in a game with psionics outside of 3.5. Maybe I will look into it before I run an AP, but for now; no psionics or Occult Adventures.

After looking at the fan made traits, I think that a werewolf kin would be interesting. Basically he is from a family of werewolf hunters that has had their bloodline corrupted by their prey.

nevermind, I won't have time for this, as there are a couple of other games I'm applying too and if I get in, I'd reach my gaming limit, rather be in one of those.

Hokina, if you need another player I'll join but ONLY if you don't get enough to make a party.

I'd be interesting in playing through this "series"

Perhaps a Young, travelling Wizard, or I'm Willing to fill in what ever the party is missing.

More details Soon.

I am very interested in playing Falcon's Hollow. I made a character for a home game in the same, but it never materialized. Here is my submission. A full background is included.

I would love to play. I work the night shift so my posting time is around 3pm to 5pm and 3am to 6am. Give or take about two hours it I receive the gift of insomnia.

I did run though some of this for a game I am running but that was some time ago. If I get to play I will not use any of the out of game knowledge to guide the plot, I swear. That and my group went a totally different route than the book suggested. I had to improvise almost everything. And it is going to level 20 and using the mythic stuff. I will only use knowledge that could be found local by the PC if they are from there.

I have three that I would be happy to do depending on what is needed.
A traveling Ranger with a wolf companion who will go melee and ranged.The Ranger will be a lot of damage but behave like a Druid.

A de-buffing witch. Though she will have some blasting capabilities.

Or if i can a Halfling Cavalier. I have yet to get to mess with that class and it looks like a lot of fun. This is the one i want more but I know little about.

I'm interested, just at work right now. I'll try to get something on the go for later today.

Would you allow a Wayang Witch(Grave-Walker)or(Hedge-Witch)? Progression to Witch (Grave-Walker)or(Hedge-Witch)/Rogue(Knife-Master)?

Thanks!

If not I also have a concept for a Suli Bloodrager.

I would love to roll a Half-Orc or Human Brawler, if you're interested in having me. I'm Central Time, but I tend to be on sporadically throughout the day and evening.

I've never done this before, so I'm trying to find an entry point that won't completely intimidate me.

Races: Core, but you can ask if you want to play any of the other common playable races.

Hmm. I'll get back to you on a human inquisitor of Iomedae for your consideration.

There is a small church to Iomedae in the town run by Lady Cirthana. If you came from out of town, maybe she requested help.

Would you allow a Wayang Witch(Grave-Walker)or(Hedge-Witch)? Progression to Witch (Grave-Walker)or(Hedge-Witch)/Rogue(Knife-Master)?

Thanks!

If not I also have a concept for a Suli Bloodrager.

Like I said in the OP. I like to keep races core but willing to think about some of the more common non-core races. Both Wayang and Suli are to far out.

Here's my initial Half-Orc Brawler skeleton. I'll add more as I get the chance, if there's interest.

Ah! Would love to play in this! I'm at work, so I can't throw a character together at this minute, but I just got the Familiar Folio and am itching to play that Wizard archetype where the familiar is carrying the soul of a departed loved one. Name escapes me at the moment...

Or a Chosen One Paladin.

I'll try to have something complete by Thursday!

I would like to put up my Elven Rogue. All his info is in his alias, let me know if I am missing anything.

Would you by any chance consider a Paladin of Asmodeus? (Inquisitor for all intents and purposes. I just want to CALL her a Paladin... that is, unless of course, you let me PLAY a Lawful Evil Paladin -which would be loopy within itself-)

My concept would certainly revolve around the Werewolf Hunter trait. Perhaps someone sworn to protect Falcon's Hallow by any means necessary. Maybe a Hellknight sent to work with the city guard.

If you'd rather shy away from LE, I could come up with a ranger with pretty much the same goal, except with different specialties as to how to fight the forces which threaten the town... or perhaps just a standard Paladin of Abadar...

Okay no problem about the races, thanks for considering. I will then put together a Human Fighter named Soul Albrek. I will have info and character together in the next day or so! Thanks.

Do you want me to throw something together? Or do you have enough people. I really want to play through all of the Falcons hollow stuff, we touched on little bits of it.

Would catfolk be okay?

Hokina what kind of posting rate are you looking for?

Great decision to try a module before an AP! I don't know much about the module itself, but from what I have read it is a good one to start with.

I will be interested to play with Samuel, my wizard conjurer. I will tweak him to match the creation requirements if he is selected.

I'm still interested in this, but not sure what sort of class to play. What've we got proposed so far? Seems like a few martial-types (rangers ahoy!), arcane-types, and a rogue... Probably a divine character for the sake of party balance. Not for me, though- I've done too many divine characters lately, and am in the mood for something different.

Bard, maybe? Or a druid? That's different enough from the cleric/inquisitor stuff I've been doing lately to still work for me.

Would the "Hounds" been the type to pay a 'fee' to operate in the area?

While LE fits with the town, there may be conflict if others in the party want to make the town a better place.

Would catfolk be okay?

The people are fearful of Fay, but Catfolk should be fine.

Hokina what kind of posting rate are you looking for?

I would like 1 post a day and people to say if they will not be on for a few days. If there are days that you have a harder time posting (weekends, Tuesdays, ...) it is fine

Quick List of what has been talked about above (* have submissions posted):

I think I'll stick with an Inquisitor of Abadar then. When I write the backstory I will definitely make it so that he is loyal to the town first and foremost. As long as the party isn't trying to harm the town, he'll have no problem helping out.

I think I'll try for a ranged build. Human as well... possibly a member of the city watch. (Simple guard, no one important)

This is Michael Riter's submission. The backstory is done, and all I have to do is fill out the crunch, but that should be simple enough. The backstory is currently within the profile.

And thankfully, with the Conversion Inquisition, I could act as a face character.

And at last, my stats are up too.

EDIT: So, I can easily post multiple times each day if need be, and I am definitely interested in the town of Falcon's Hallow, but never got a chance to play a game in it.

Here is my submission

In the third party group list of traits is Pathfinder Recruit. If I take this would you consider me part of this group?

Threeshades's submission. Still reworking the character because I had to level her down first.

would an investigator work well here?

Here is the basics of Soul. I will post detailed character stats shortly. Thanks!

Hokina, do you know when you will be making a decision on the group? I did not see a closing date for applicants? Forgive me if I have missed it. :-) Thanks!

Also any feedback on Soul would be much appreciated. Thank you!

In the third party group list of traits is Pathfinder Recruit. If I take this would you consider me part of this group?

I don't know why a 3rd party would make a trait based on pathfinder society.

would an investigator work well here?

Submit what you want.

What has been submitted (class and alignment):
Ranger (NG), Brawler (CG), Rogue (CN), Wizard(?), Inquisitor (LN), Oracle (CG), Bard (CG), Fighter (CG)

Mostly what I am looking at is background.

Alleran Odeber - His connection is nice. Opens him up to getting a few request for little side missions (faction mission like stuff).

Sailboat - I like the Brawler class. The trouble is there is not a lot of ship stuff in the area. The river that the town sits on is in a bad area. Up river a ways is a waterfall. Right down river is the Wolfrun Rapids.
There need to be more stuff like skull and shackles.

Zova Lex - The Lumber Consortium (who control much of the town) and Cheliax don't like each other. The sheriff Deldrin Baleson also does not like Lumber Consortium. As the LAW in the town I believe that the Sheriff would be Zova's connect as a guard.

Hound - Wolf flavor is nice.

Shirraj - don't have any background yet, but like for Hound; being Catfolk will make you stand out some. Opens it up for RP flavor and interactions.

Soul Albrak - A simple Fighter. Nothing wrong that I can see with a quick look. There was a large rush of Werewolves not long ago. While they got pushed back, there would be a call for people with hunting skills.

Samuel Soulkeeper- Have not posted any background. Good setup for a summoning Wiz.

Rolus Brime - I asked above about the Hounds of the Hollow. It is a good background and setup. I have some ideas if he ends up being picked.

Hokina, do you know when you will be making a decision on the group? I did not see a closing date for applicants? Forgive me if I have missed it. :-) Thanks!

Also any feedback on Soul would be much appreciated. Thank you!

I said above everyone should have their submission in by the 18th. If I was to pick right now, I know which ones I would pick.

Much appreciated. I could work that into the background I have posted. Perhaps to mitigate some of the hostilities, I could be a Chel of Ulfen descent so I at least don't look like your standard Chelaxian. It also helps that I am not a devil worshiper.

So the Sheriff is Zova's connect. That would definitely work. It could serve as a primary goal of Zova's to either end the Lumber Consortium's rule on the town, or at the very least root out the corruption within it. Abadar is the god of both laws AND wealth after all. So if chosen, would Zova be a rank and file guard or would she be saved for 'nonstandard' assignments, almost like a detective of sorts?

I worked out the background section for Samuel. I would like him to have a connection with someone else of the party, having previously adventured in the region, or met in Falcon's Hollow (Samuel lived here for 5 or 6 years but has been out during the last 20 years).

His connection with the adventure is his aunt, Lila Soulkeeper, whom seems to be on trouble at the start of the module. He is coming back to Falcon's Hollow under her request.

Lila is some kind of old arcane minor power of the city, perhaps a witch or something like that, as she was the one who taught the basics of wizardry on the young Samuel before he went adventuring.

Samuel is neutral and a follower of Nethys, the god of magic. Despite his Chelish origin (his parents where from that ethnicity) he has never lived on that country and having travelled an lived in most of central Avistan countries he is much of a cosmopolitan one.

Perhaps he and Zova met in the town during a case, and became friends after the fact? I can imagine Zova having lived in town for about a year before the adventure begins.

If I won't fit because of thematic reasons, then I suppose I'll drop out. No sense in trying to fit a square peg into a round hole!

Alleran Odeber - His connection is nice. Opens him up to getting a few request for little side missions (faction mission like stuff).

Good to hear! I am going to tweak the background just a little bit to add in a couple years of lumberjacking before joining the army. I checked your link to the 3rd party campaign traits and really liked how well Lumberjack fit Alleran's proclivity for axes. I left off before he met with the regiment adjunct as your opening to introduce the character to the campaign. Please let me know if there is anything I can explain/account for on the character.

My name is arrack. I am a former member of the tribe of the wolf. I am a wanderer now. I seek only glory, and to slay the necromancer that destroyed my tribe. I come to Darkmoon vale for two reasons. One as a mercenary for hire, the other, because I have heard of rumors of a lich arounda bout. I am Arrack, the Stormbringer of The tribe of the wolf, and I will have my vengeance.

submitting a barbarian for this game. Invulnerable Rager. His stats are in line with the Pt buy, however I will have to change out the rest :P

I've just been accepted into another game, so I'll bow out of this one. Good journey to you all!

I have an idea that may facilitate you making your choice. Would it be possible to start up roleplay in the discussion thread, so that you could get a feeling for everyone's style?

I'm gonna toss this character into the ring, see if perhaps he can't do a little good. A NG Human Forgemaster Cleric, here to forge hope and peace for Falcon's Hollow (and also do some research on the monastery and forges that used to be around here).

Submitting Amori Ren for your perusal.
