Fisnis here.

Here is the alias for Lost Gamer (me).

Just need - traits, background, and to organize.

Any info you can give me to help with background?

@fisnis: Good to see you back Fisnis
@Corrmesa: Thanks for getting things up. and below is some general background information.

Campaign Background:

The village of Ravenmoor was founded during the initial burst of Chelish colonialism that saw the birth of much larger cities like Magnimar, Korvosa, and Riddleport. Yet where those cities flourished, Ravenmoor never progressed far beyond its rural beginnings, for in the
early years the town was ravaged by what appeared to be a supernatural blight. With the villagers close to starvation, the town’s founder, a priestess of Desna named Iola Kriegler, decided to undertake a sort of vision quest to seek a solution to her village’s problems. Alas, the visions she chose to follow came not from her goddess, but from an ancient enemy, the god of parasites and stagnation, Ghlaunder. Iola fell victim to these dark visions and came upon a strange commune of his
followers deep in the Churlwood, from whom she learned of a ritual that would ensure good harvests in return for giving the spawn of Ghlaunder a place to safely grow—her body, her descendants, her village. Accompanied by two faceless stalkers disguised as human druid advisors, Iola returned to Ravenmoor a changed creature. But while her flock worried about her, they could not dispute the miracles she worked, and the harvest that year and every year since has yielded enough bounty to keep the villagers well provided and safe. Iola, now a priestess of Ghlaunder, recruited select members of the village into her inner circle of allies, forming a hidden cult within the populace who helped mask the truth from the others. As Ravenmoor grew increasingly isolated, the strange beliefs and traditions in town became more and more distorted, and the worship of Desna grew increasingly perverted into a mockery of her faith. Iola eventually paid for her bargain with Ghlaunder when her body gave birth to one of the Gossamer King’s spawn, but not before giving birth in the preceding years to several children of her own. The Kriegler line would rule Ravenmoor for decades, both as mayors and as secret spiritual leaders, and each of them eventually bore the Gossamer King’s spawn in a gory ritualistic death in the wee hours of the morning. Now and then, a particularly astute villager would discover the truth, but the cult was always quick to silence such folks before they could spread the word.

And so, over the generations, Ravenmoor has stagnated. Today, however, the cult faces an unanticipated peril. Through chance and accident, the Kriegler line has dwindled to a single member named Andretti Kriegler, a man who has recently been forced to admit that he is sterile. Without the ability to perpetuate his line, he knows that the line of the Gossamer King’s spawn will come to an end as well. Visions granted by his dark god have made it clear that should Kriegler allow this to happen, the town of Ravenmoor would not only suffer greatly, but his immortal soul would be denied its proper place in the Gossamer King’s court in the afterlife.

And so Kriegler began researching a cure for his condition. He hopes that by performing a number of fertility rituals centered around blood sacrifices that have come to him in his visions he can cure his sterility and father children to carry on the Gossamer King’s legacy.
Initially, the mayor intended to use his own followers as sacrifices, but he worried that doing so would test the limits of the non-cultists’ faith, and, even worse, make them suspect that there was more to their beloved “Dream Tender” than they were led to believe. The arrival of a tax collector named Elias Kyle less than 24 hours before the ritual was scheduled struck the mayor as a divine sign, and though Kyle struggled and managed to kill one of the cult’s faceless stalker allies, in the end his sacrifice went exactly as Kriegler had planned, down to luring new sacrifices to town for the next few rituals. After all... what
better sacrifice than a nonbeliever?

Good to be back. What you think of the updated Fisnis?

Not to shabby if I do say so my self.

Traits are done all the numbers done - but nothing is jumping at me for background, sorry.
Male Half Elf Inquisitor(Preacher), level 3

Fisnis and Corrmesa could know each other. I do not know if Corrmesa is the type to travel a lot though.
Grand Lodge

Well he doesn't like to "rough it" but is ok with traveling.

Do we know why we are in/going to Ravenmoor? Maybe the two are looking into something for the elves nearby?
Male Half Elf Inquisitor(Preacher), level 3

Fisnis is traveling spreading the word of Gorum. No he does not do this by beating everyone up.

Well it looks like you two are ready to go. Have either of you seen Azure-Zero or Roshan?
Human Jack of All trades

I'm finishing the equipment part (double checking it as I go)

Good to see you Azure_Zero.

@Corrmesa: You are going to Ravenmoor to investigate the mysterious disappearance of a tax collector. Apparently Ravenmoor hasn't been paying its taxes to Magnimar for quite some time(years) so when a city clerk discovered this they dispatched a tax collector to meet with the Mayor and he never returned.

Alric here. Just asking, is the Varisian Pilgrim archetype from Inner Sea Magic cool?
Male Half Elf Inquisitor(Preacher), level 3

Cool archetype no idea if Mathpro will allow it though but I have a question. Why does your character only have the one Domain?

Spoiler:

At 1st level, by leading a group prayer for 1 minute, a Varisian pilgrim can select a number of traveling companions equal to her cleric level + her Wisdom bonus. She may use her domain-granted powers on any of these traveling companions as if they were her. She can use these abilities on her traveling companions at a range of up to 30 feet, even if the ability normally requires her touch. This ability replaces the cleric’s proficiency with medium armor and shields—she retains proficiency with light armor only.

Is from the link in your profile and says that you give up your proficiency to do that.

Thats an ability granted from the archetype yes but if you read the archetype itself it might clear things up.

Spoiler:
Fortunate Road

At 1st level, a Varisian pilgrim must select the Chaos, Community, Liberation, Luck, Travel, or Weather domain (or the Exploration, Fate, Freedom, Trade, or Seasons subdomains if available in the campaign) as one of her domains. If the cleric worships a deity that doesn’t normally grant one of these domains, she gains access to this domain but can only pick this one domain—she effectively loses the option to pick a second domain. As a result, very few clerics who worship deities who don’t grant access to one of the domains or subdomains listed above opt to become Varisian pilgrims. In all other respects, this works like and replaces the standard cleric’s domain ability.

You are a follower of Desna correct? One of her domains is Luck that ability states if the Deity you worship does not have one of those Domains you can only pick one.

Yes.....just curious but what's the point of this question?

Male Half Elf Inquisitor(Preacher), level 3

The archetype stats you have to pick one of those domains. If the deity you worship does not you pick one and do not gain the other domain. Since Desna has Luck as a Domain which is one of the ones listed you still get another domain.

I appolgize for this but today has gotten away from me and I don't have time to start this before my internet turns off(personal security measure I take). I have a meeting at 8 AM and then I'm taking my cat to the vet at 9:30 but as soon as I get home I'll be posting the game thread up and get this moving. Again I apologize.

And Alric Stiner you have been approved. I know I didn't list inner sea magic as an acceptable source but I don't have a problem with it since its not from a 3pp.

Yea, I guess I misread that ability. Added the exploration subdomain.

It's OK, s*** happens. I know when I tried getting any game going there is always a small hang up.

It's "Murphy's Law" Gremlins.

I know it has nothing to do with what's being said, but for some reason these past few days the RSS feed for this game was all messed up but now it's fine :)

Weekends tend to be slow PBP, or no PBP.

Pretty much what Azure Zero said. Most of the PbP I am either have 1 post or no posts on the weekends.

Sorry guys...busy weekend and day. Post is up now and I will try to keep this moving a little faster. Thank you for your patience.
