Malik was tasked to find proof of his noble bloodline in the tombs, while taking a more personal goal of attempting to find out what happened to one of his tutors. Would you all prefer to know of his task beforehand? I am thinking he came to the city looking for a group and ended up falling in with all of you, perhaps one of you could have been known to his tutors?
Can you tell me a little more about how the Silver Seekers formed and what your group's goals are? Why are you as a group participating in the lottery to investigate tombs?
Unless anyone is opposed, Dakash is probably the one most likely to suggest a bunch of people she met in a bar become her permanent traveling companions. Dakash is constantly looking for anything that could trigger her past memories, and she is certain that one of her past lives was an ancient osirian. As such, the idea of a lottery to explore an ancient tomb seems like it's destined to lead to her past. It seems reasonable that Malik could have previously crossed paths with Dakash as they're both searching for similar evidence and/or looking in similar pools of research material.
GM: I'll check the stats when I get home from work, but I'm fairly certain the plus 8 includes the stone.
Khere is a local and he wants to see if archaeologists are any different from troublesome tomb robbers. Or maybe he offered to aid you as a guide into the tombs actually meeting all of you in a bar. Maybe then he became attracted to Dakash (if he does fall for your character, it won't be an overnight thing! He has to work for it! ;) If that's okay with you Dakash).
He may have suggested the name Silver Seekers to distinguish the group from other more greedy adventuring parties.
And I don't mind if Malik tells the party about his goals.
Well, Khere would vouch for Dagori as he would sense no evil in him.

Talon and Braydir have worked together for a few months now on various requests from their temple. They've developed a solid reputation together and so when the latest request was handed down with the mention of possible traps and undead they paired the duo up once more. They had no official name for their group at that point, they were simple were as a pair who delivered on what was asked of them. One night after a long day of spelunking they were refreshing their mugs when they were approached by Dagori who overheard some of their conversation and offered to buy them another round for something, but neither of them knew what in the hells he asked for.
But who is turning away a free mug of ale? Letting it go to waste? NEVER! Another round (or two) later Dakash overheard them talking about some of it is that they do and requested to tag along with them. That was it for that night, but the following day Talon found out to follow the instructions given by their temple they were going to need to enter a lottery that had numerous teams competing for entry.
Analyzing their strength's they sought out a few additional team members and added Malik and Khere to round it out to six members. It wasn't until Khere joined that a name was suggested. After a brief discussion his suggestion of 'Silver Seekers' seemed to stick with everyone.
That sounds good. Khere doesn't drink much (despite his size, he's a lightweight!), but he would be curious to learn about this Cayden Cailean (I think Cayden isn't that well known in Osirion).
Khere would have offered to aid the party as a guide as well as assist them in battling undead and evil tomb robbers (provided the party doesn't stray into committing acts that he views as being against his faith). He also probably wants to learn more about his homeland's past in the hopes of restoring faith in the old gods, especially Anubis, so he decides to join up with a group before the lottery.
Ha! I somehow completely missed that up until this point. That makes perfect sense why we were having a hard time communicating the first time now! ;)

Yeah :) I guess I didn't mention it much, did I?
But it's all cool, Dagori probably wouldn't give that away the first time he met anyone. You'd only realize it when something loud happened and he didn't react to it.
Based on being born with it, penalties probably are reduced to -2 instead of -4. Besides the auto fail to sound.
Just curious here but why did you go with the deaf curse?
And also why is the Church of Cayden Caliean curious about archaeology in Osirion? Just curious.
Yep, I'm happy with that version of events.

blind would be useless (I already have DV60ft) and the other cursess just didn't feel like the right one.
I saw more benefits with deaf than any other. First, all my spells are silent without any increase in level. Second, I gain scent, tremorsense 30ft, and a bonus to perception not based on sound. Third, it seems like an interesting idea for RP.

That makes sense and understandable. And it does make for some interesting role playing.
Basically my character has been recovering items for Cayden Caliean and other good aligned churches on commission. So I Would be here for Seranrae and other Orisiron based good deities.
Makes sense.
And we're off!
Let the adventure begin!
Lol, I'm pretty sure tengu don't say CAW after every sentence:) Otherwise I could just laugh like a hyena every few minutes ;)
Maybe Caydenites CAW when they are excited?! :)
I think we are quite the band of misfits if we are cawing and laughing the entire time though.

What better way to strike fear into our enemies? By the time they hear the CAW and the yapping laughter, it's already too late for them.
Its kinda like a hiccup when he talks. I wont have it go all the time but he's excited right now.

Haha. Figured the hiccups thing our right before reading this post. Too good :D
Hey guys, I'm sick today, so I'm not up to the kind of long post that would advance the story. I expect to feel better tomorrow, and will post the ceremony then.
More banter it is. Get well soon!
Take your time gm! Hope you get better!
That was interesting. I just had a very suggestive post-off with my kitsune female... It was almost disastrous. And it was in recruitment as well! I guess this just helps display how well I can RP my kitsune :P
I noticed that whole chain of things. Was not expecting it in a recruitment thread :/

No worries, get well! It's that time of the year right now where everyone is either sick, getting sick, or knows someone who is sick! I'm still getting over something myself.
I think the humble bundle has killed Paizo's site for the night. I'm not going to type up a complicated post when the gremlins will probably eat it.
Yeah Paizo has been acting up a lot lately. I wonder what's up.
We forgot to find out what our favourite tavern's name is! GM, any help?
The two taverns that show up in the guide to the city are the Tooth and Hookah (it has a tiny crocodile named Toothy as mascot who lives in the well) or the Whispering Stone (built around the lower head of a statue showing lips and chin sticking out from the sand). The city is certainly large enough there should be others, if neither of these is interesting.
Tooth and Hookah sounds good. I'll try and post soon. At work at the moment. Sorry.
I like Toothy!
Tomorrow morning I'll post to start the dungeon crawl.
Sweet!
Huzzah!
Hey guys, the power supply in my computer is kaput, so I might post less frequently for a few days until I get a new one.
Will any of you want PFS campaign mode chronicles?
Malik, thanks for letting me know. I will carefully bot your character if needed to keep things moving.
Will any of you want PFS campaign mode chronicles?
I will!
Huh?
I a really sorry about basically vanishing this week. I've had a guy out at work all week so I've been working 10-12 hour days and haven't had time to post. Posting will resume at normal levels.
