In the shadow of an ailing king, a new ruler gathers power, sending shockwaves through a populace already plagued by unrest and pushing the largest city in Varisia to the brink of disaster.

In the face of anarchy, a new band of heroes gathers at the call of a mysterious patron...

Favored Alteration: Tall tanned human, white hair and beard, dark eyes, muscular.

Background

Spoiler:

His Oni father was stricken with great lust for his human mother after watching her dance. He could not let anything get in the way of what he wanted, so he killed her husband and took his form in order to make love to her.

When Shauldrek was born, his mother took pity on him. That is until the bullying of the other children drove him to give in to his trickster heritage and fool the leader of the entertainers' guild into a scandal which got him arrested, leaving the guild to fend for themselves.

It was clear to Shauldrek and his mother and older sister that his leaving was the best thing for all of them. On his quest to discover his place he stumbled across a cult worshipping the devil dragon Draghignazzo. He felt at home in the monster church, no longer feeling the need to alter his garish appearance. He even attempted to train as a cleric, but when the clergy learnt of his parentage, they saw a better purpose for him: to seek out and destroy those who-like the Oni-would undermine Draghignazzo's dominion over monster-kind, as an inquisitor.

Now he hears whispers about a change of regimes to the southwest, and a young Queen seeking absolute dominion over all life in the area. Exaggerated or not, the clergy of the Temple of Devastation agree to send Shauldrek on his first official mission to preserve the authority of his deity.

Any idea when you are closing the recruitment? Just curious as it seems like there are a lot of good submissions already and I am eager to see the results.

I should also state that should I be selected I am looking at taking the mounted combat style progression to complement the hippogriff aspect of the character.

Please let me know if there is anything else you would like to know or have questions about my submission. Thanks again GM_Fenwick.

He is doing it tonight via simple random sample as his way of doing it as a lottery.


Pauper Princess here, submitting Lakjin, the Chaotic Neutral, Troll-Blooded, Barbarian nomad from wilds of Varisia. (hope I'm not too late!)

Scarab Sages

Change Unnamed to Marius Arkonen.
I'll make the alias if I get a spot.

Story:
Marius's father was Corbin Arkonen, a great and noble hellknight, maintaining law and order by displaying it his own home, often with violent lashings. His mother was a priestess of Iomedae, a perpetual student in the church. Marius was of course devoted the sword. That was mostly to satisfy his father, though. He took much more of an interest in studies of magic and religion. Aroden's death became his personal goal to solve, and he would do what he must to gain such knowledge. He wasn't the most intelligent, but he was driven.

While focused on his studies, Marius had spent less time with his family. He was visiting from the Anomanexus College when his father became upset with his ideas and lashed out at him. Marius, took the hit then looked back at his father with hate filled eyes and stormed out of the room. Later that day, Corbin was found dead in his manor, a longsword shoved through his skull from under his chin.

Marius was detained. Meanwhile, his mother, believing that her son had murdered her beloved husband, took her own life. It wasn't until a friend from the college caught the manservant that had been paid to set up the crime that Marius was finally released, months later. No longer a student, and with no family to turn back to, Marius chose to seek out new knowledge on his own and find Gaedren Lamm, the man responsible for his father's murder.

Hope this helps.


I hope recruitment doesn't close soon. Balian here was a character in another CotCT Capmaign that unfortunately fizzled. It wasn't in Pathfinder rules, but being a fighter it's easily converted.


As of THIS post, character submission stops here. The characters on the compiled sheet that Gaius created plus any that came after will be the final pool of candidates for me to administer my lottery to.

Six will be chosen out of all you adventurers, and I assure you all that everyone had a fair chance at being selected.

Thank you all for applying!

Be posting in a few hours,

GM_Fenwick

Envoy's Alliance

Minor tweaks have been finished, I now have the campaign trait for this, plus he has a bow incase he runs out of magic with a few loadstone arrows for metal armored enemies. I hope the minor tweaking that I hadn't done before this doesn't affect my chances of getting in. And I'm sure I checked him for mistakes, but I have the full character I want.


The results are in!

*******

The following have been chosen (by my TI-84 Calculator):

Gritz Treestrider [21]

Tolenn [07]

Pyron Firehide [19]

Gaius Tindareus [14]

Wednesday Daud [09]

Rakdon Tripus [20]

Please confirm your spot within a day.

To all applicants, I wish the best of luck to all of you. And if you did not get picked, perhaps we can adventure together another time! After all, a GM always has room for more at any table!

Keeping 'em rolling,

GM_Fenwick

P.S. Let me count the Adventure Paths that I currently own...

Hmm...I have everything up from "Rise of the Runelords" to "Jade Regent" (Adventure Paths 1-9), plus countless other Modules that I have in a handy-dandy bookshelf. That being said, I should get the lottery started, shouldn't I? Damn me, but I do love to ramble...

Point being, I may see some of you in future adventures to come! TTFN.


Awesome, thanks! Can you tell I've been checking the thread obsessively? :-)


Oh, sweet! Burn! Burn them all! Fire for everyone--!

...erm, I mean... yep! Totally excited! Ready to roll!


Woot! And to those who didn't get in May you have good adventures and good dice rolls :3


Have fun, guys.


Thanks for the best wishes guys. GM_Fenwick, I am absolutely in! All the way! I am ready for the next set of instructions.


Nice, thanks Fenwick and your random number generator!

Envoy's Alliance

Rakdon here, ready to magic missile and bowshot their asses.
Seems like random selection, which I'm okay with.

Envoy's Alliance

so we have a
alchemist
paladin
inquistor
magus
don't know what daud is? say is your name inspired by dishonored game?
oracle
remember to update characters for gear if not already and delevel them back to 1.


Daud is a huntsmaster cavalier--pretty balanced party


Will do. How much starting gold? Also, there are a couple of options I thought about my character background. First, he could have still learned from the witches, went to see how the compsognathus lived, but won't actually perform the ceremony until he levels up in the game. When he gets the familiar, then he will get his witch stuff from his training. Else, we could work his history in with the actual game.

Avg. starting gold for your class. And we can work out the level/plot discontinuity in the game.

I will open up the campaign thread after I get off from work. Until then, toodles!

Yep :3

And Daud is a Huntmaster Cavalier, Order of the Shield.


GM Fenwick, I noticed you allow drawbacks. I think I'd like to add the Blade of Mercy trait along with a drawback. I have a few I'm still deciding on, but I'll post it probably tonight. Then I just need to do one final review of my equipment and I'm good to go.


Campaign is up!

Now I remember why I couldn't take fleet footed, I wouldn't be able to use the bow efficiently, changing it back before I officially start playing.
