Excellent, thanks Silas! That will work great - particularly the tie-in with the court. Once we have the other two new characters in here, I'll get us started in the gameplay tab.
Silas that sounds awesome and I cannot wait to do investigator-y things together.
Hello again, everyone! Cassidia is finished and ready to go - looking forward to getiing into (and out of) shenanigans with y'all.
Looking forward to getting started
Me too. Can't wait to have you two in the game!
Cool.
An Inquisitor Sanctified Slayer
A Cleric of Pharasma
An Alchemist Grenadier/Vivisectionist
A Two Handed Fighter
An Inspired Blade 1 Empiricist/Investigator 4
And, MrStr4ng3 with an arcane caster or rogue...gonna' be a fun party. As soon you he's done, I'll get them going in the main thread. Leeoli, think we're waiting for your action over there, if you have some time.
Since all us new folks need to be linked to the judge in some way, would it be a bit too much for us to have some prior knowledge of one another? Even just in passing?
Definitely not too much to ask! In fact, they'll help smooth out the initial process, and move you in a bit faster. Feel free to talk that out among yourselves.
I feel like my post was a little incoherent and I want to blame my being at the dentist today, but it seems like the gist of it came through, so I guess it wasn't too rambling.
Linking both backstory and campaign trait, Cassidia would occasionally do work or favors for judge Daramid for mutual benefit; Daramid providing extensive resources, Cassidia able to operate outside of Ustalav and its laws, which can sometimes become complicated by the nature of Cassidia's overall mission.
Cassidia keeps herself dressed as innocuously as possible and often changes her hair using both magical and mundane means, so its possible she has bumped into others before during her hunts - nothing on her person gives away her devotion to Sarenrae save a very small worn and tarnished metal trinket.
It's possible Silas might be vaguely aware of her from the last.words of her victims (bad guys can be victims) or at least one meeting for questions. Open to working any possible backstory connections to the established players too.
Rambled on a bit there, at least it makes a bit more sense than the first post. Helps the painkillers have worn off enough.
Hope you feel better!
Thanks for starting the conversation; if it helps, you'll all be summoned to Daramid's townhouse for an urgent meeting, citing "The preservation of the sanctity of the law." She always seemed to talk like that...
It was a busy weekend, I'll have my Fey Sorcerer ready Monday morning.
No worries, take your time!
Everyone still here?
I am, but its also November, and that sometimes just means slowness. It happens at a few other PbP boards I'm on.
Whose turn is it?
Yep, always!
Leeoli, it's yours.
MrStr4ng3, I'll get Cassidia and Silas started tomorrow. Let me know if you can get a rough outline of your char - really just a name and description, and that'll be good enough to start! I won't throw you into combat immediately.
And, sorry guys - I'm just generally not one to bot players unless I'm asked to. I figure we're all in it for the long haul, so post as you can. I'm on here every single day, but some more involved posts/combat rounds may take me more than a day to get to.
I'm sorry. I thought I was waiting for Nayr to play NPCs. I'll get a turn up ASAP
No worries at all man; thanks!
Can't wait to start! GM I think I know how to put most of my stat information where it'll be seen, do you have a specific set up or just the super relent stuff like HP, perception ect?
Sorry guys; busy weekend...back to posting tomorrow. Cassidia, it would just be basic stats - AC, saves, initiative, perception
Cassidia, Silas, hop on into your "Recent additions"
Originals, feel free to read the spoilers unless I note otherwise; there shouldn't be any actual "spoilers" therein, I'm just trying to keep the thread from getting overloaded.
Guys, we'll be slow over this holiday and weekend; hope you all have a great holiday. I'll have family to entertain, but will try and check in.

Happy Thanksgiving to all and to all a good bite.
Another Turkey day done and dusted. Hope y'all got through the day okay.
Happy Thanksgiving
Indeed, Happy Thanksgiving all. I'll be updating, most likely tonight
I have Leeoli's action for the next round, but Rufus, you're still up!
You might bot Rufus this round. He told us in another game that he is swamped with work and a guest at his home.
Gotcha....dang...hate when my bots outnumber my PC's. I need to kill off some folks!
Hi all!
GM Nayr has been kind enough to take in this orphaned character after my Carrion Crown game ended at the gates of Lepistadt when the GM stepped down. I am still catching up with the gameplay thread, but I thought I would introduce my character a little.
Smaranda is a bit of a recluse who doesn't trust anyone outside the Crooked Kin, who are a temporary family to her. She traveled together with them to Lepistadt and is currently working as a guard for them as she learns the craft of juggling and acrobatics. She grew up mostly feral and self-taught, and she harbors a lot of self-hatred for her semi-undead nature.
Welcome back Smaranda;)
Glad you joined us Smaranda!
I welcome the opportunity to role-play a Pharasma Cleric with a Dhampir in the same party.
Early in this campaign we had a Dhamphir Witch with us, as I recall.
Leeoli has a backstory I always wanted to play up a bit more. It involves a family curse that stinks on every Maleye, a stink that invariably drives undead to hunt and kill them, and prevents the Maleyes from receiving holy communions or blessings. After an undead zombie in Ravengro failed to be compelled by his curse, and after Zazaria healed his wounds after battle using a holy channel, Leeoli begins to wonder whether the curse is being lifted, but in exchange for what though? And why? Leeoli suspects it has something to do with an intervention by Pharasma and the secretive order that killed his friend the professor.
Awesome, Silas, looking forward to those interactions! In my previous campaign we had a vampire-hunter inquisitor of Pharasma who hated dhampirs and two dhampirs in the party, so that was really interesting. I am down to roleplay tension and even conflict to some extent, as long as it does not derail the game for the rest of the party. I expect it will take a while for Smaranda to earn the trust of the others, especially Silas.
Sorry all! I thought I had posted a message in one of Nayr's games, but I see I did not! I'm playing with catchup with my games currently.
Smaranda looks awesome--I'm glad to have you, as well as the other new faces!
Hi Smaranda! Welcome to the madness!
I can't wait for all of us to come together and really sync up backstories, see what kind of additional drama and shenanigans we can build on.
No worries Rufus; Leeoli filled me in...sorry, should have botted you a bit ago, but I was working on getting our new additions set up.
Minor nitpick, Dura can't speak in combat. Also, can't believe I forgot the fort save. Sorry.
Apologies if I'm missing something, but why not?
oracle curse.

Ah, thanks! I have to kill her off quickly, as I will constantly forget that;)
I'll be away and unable to post this Thursday night through Sunday night
Are they within melee range?
the map doesn't have an enemy that is not cowering. can Leeoli make it to attack, or should he do a double move?
And....map updated.
Leeoli, you'd have to double move to move and climb. Gur is at the top, half on the walkway - considered on the walkway, prone. Dura is just underneath him. Leeoli, Rufus, and Zazaria are down below
Rufus - so I got this right, you're moving along the vat to swing down at the hound that is struggling around in the acid within the vat, right? The vat is pretty full, so you should be able to reach it fine
That sounds right to me.
