Gameplay up sometime this weekend, I left my notes at work.
Will have a Googledoc for some campaign specific info the characters will get with their travel papers linked in Campaign info later today.
Meanwhile, feel free to get to know each other.
While some had farther to travel than others, you all find yourself on the same final ship taking you from Absalom across the Inner Sea to the River Sphinx in Osirion. Should be docking in Sothis early tomorrow morning. It is mostly a cargo ship, only you 5 are not part of the ship's crew.
Hello Everyone! Valzoa would be easily approachable, so if you want to work out how they interacted on the ride over, we can do so here and use it as 'backstory'! :)
Reporting in! Thank you for choosing Orlog!
One elf, one goblin, and 3 dwarves! I thinK this is the first time I see a party so dwarf heavy.
Thorek and Orlog are both from Janderhoff, so they could have been traveling together for a while.
Hey guys! Thanks for the invite! Happy to be here :)
Checking in, also glad to be here. I got a feeling this will be fun!
I'll probably have Valum traveling in alone. Once things start up, I'll hop in on the action.
Do you want us to start IC communication in discussion?
Or just generally saying hi to each other?
Either way, it's just open if ya'll want to, until I can get the gameplay opened up.
Sounds good! Think we're just missing Thorek in discussion, although he posted in recruitment. I'm up for whatever everyone decides to do.
Well, Valzoa'd be the one taking up a lot of time on the ship's deck, away from where the sailors are bustling around. He'd be consulting a book he's writing in and occasionally staring deep into the skull he wears, but has taken it off his belt while he's looking at it. If the weather is particularly wet he'll do it belowdecks, but he prefers natural lighting.
I'm here and ready to go. I'm all for Thorek and Orlog coming in together. As they're from the same place it makes the most sense. Plus, a traditionalist and religious magus and a warpriest should get along well.
Very excited for this. 3 dwarves, an elf and a goblin. I think that we'll be attracting a lot of attention...perhaps we should have the gobbo wear a cloak and hood while in public? Or a little tabard to show scared locals that "it is owned" so the poor guy doesn't get attacked on sight
Nah, I think we just get him a fake beard and he can be disguised as a baby dwarf. ;)
Orlog would not tolerate anyone attacking a member of his team, goblin or not. Anyone that try will see his or her face have an up close and very personnal meeting with Orlog's warhammer. ;)
As for disguise, I think with the ears goblins have,it would be easier to pass him for a young elf that is just a bit under the weather.
Did you pick a specific deity for Thorek? Maybe I can convert you to Trudd !
Thorek doesn't have a specific deity, as he worships the entire pantheon. However, as a miner he does tend to give prayer to Trudd most often, as he is the God of strength. Secondarily he favors Grundinnar, as prayer is given to him before selling the ore that he unearths.
That said, as a Pathfinder neither profession defines him anymore. So if you want to 'convert' him in the sense of convining him to primarily worship Trudd, you can go ahead.
Volum will not be fond of Zeebu(At least at the beginning), but knows he's part of the mission. That being said he wouldn't go out of his way for "the goblin", but he may over-time. Also, I think we maybe better to call him a elf, Volum may not agree with calling him a dwarf. Maybe a halfling?
Volum isn't fond of boats. He'd probably be spending the majority of his traveling time bent over the ships rail or with his head in a bucket below.
Volum is indeed a dwarf. One hiccup is I don't think any of us have disguise that is reliable enough. I also don't have the spells for it. Which is why dressing him like a servant would be easiest. "Yes, it's a goblin. But it's OUR goblin." It'd raise less questions than someone yelling "That's not a halfling! It's green!" That would turn south quickly.
Got to admit it would make things very interesting, at that point!! What could go wrong?
Could also say, he was "reincarnated"?
Maybe chain him up outside of town? :)j/k
Anytime someone says "what could go wrong" is the point you know we're doomed
Forgot to mention here, gameplay is up.
Don't worry, the green one is pot trained! I think! 60% chance! Yeah, no, Zeebu's not pot trained :( Plus, he worships Callistria because hey, why not?
So what you're trying to say is, 60% of the time, you use the pot all the time?
Maybe 60% of the time he almost always uses it right. Almost, like in 50-50 chance. Or less. But sometimes he hits the spot. I don't remember when, though.
Only 34.5% of all statistics are made up. So, I trust Zeebu!!! :P
I think I'm less worried about Zeebu being pot trained vs. eating something he shouldn't!
(Figured there was a better chance of Valum getting into trouble, but I might wrong.):P -Also, If I end up to abrasive lemme know.
Will have post up today. Got home really late from work and just sorta slept where I dropped. Sorry for the delay.
Its alright!
Just making sure everyone is still here?
Still here!
Internet was down yesterday and posting on phone is hard, will have next section up from work.
We do have the auction coming up, and I am at a loss of an easy way to handle it on the play-by-post venue. Does anyone have any experience doing an auction on here or suggestions on easiest way to handle it?
Maybe wing it? See how it goes....
Other option is setting up spoilers with bids or psuedo bids?
I don't know how it handles in the module if we do it live, but we could do some type of the silent auction.
Basically, you put description all the stuff that goes up for auction. A spoiler for each item. We decide what we want to bid on. We can use Diplomacy, Bluff or Intimidate to influence the NPCs on their bid. Either to make them bid less than planned or make them raise it so that they don't have the budget for other items we want to buy.
Hey guys! I'm working on my move and relocation and should be back by Wednesday. Cheers!
Pre-holiday workload pretty heavy. I hope to get something up today. Sorry delays.

Welcome back, looking forward to it
Holidays period and guess what? I'm going to be absent again this weekend, for some days. I'll be back Tuesday. I hope you all have a fantastic New Year's eve.
For the games I'm playing in: please feel free to bot me as needed, GM. I apologize for the inconvenience!
For the games I'm hosting: don't worry, I'll be back! Feel free to use the period to get your posts current.
I may be able to log in spottily during the weekend.
Cheers!
Post up! Have fun Zeebu!
Happy new year and thread bump
Happy new years!!! Late even! I should have a post or two up tomorrow.
Happy New Years to you as well! Look forward to continuing this campaign
For the inviting the Chelaxians drinking...it was the spur of the moment. Just felt like something he would do.
But if they accept, we can keep the story going about being mine owners. Then ply them for information about their expedition over alcohol that is hopefully too hard for them.
Im currently dealing with a family crisis. I should be back online soon.

Thanks for the update
So...update?
Well things are still nuts, but I finally had an entire weekend off. Yay!
I should have the brain capacity to get this finished. Everyone else still onboard?
If we have the majority ready to continue, we can forge forward. Get this auction wrapped up then try to bury you all in the sands.
Aye think we need to get past the auctuon
