GM Striker's The Ruins of Azlant (Inactive)

Game Master Sam Sturkie

To whom it may concern,

I would like to apply for your current position as hunter/gatherer for the Bountiful Venture Companies 2nd go into Azlant. I grew up in the Sodden lands, My parents are a member of the Flock of Father Heveril once holy Paladin of Erastil. My mother and myself are hunters for the flock we provided a lot of the food and fresh water that keeps the flock alive. My father hunts the beasts that would threaten us and the Knights of Abendego who think to turn us into slave.
I must warn you that I have Undine heritage, my mother is Undine and my father human. I don’t feel this will cause issues with other crew and settlers but it may give me an advantage on patrolling and hunting around the water of the island. I am proficient with the bow and rapier, my tracking skills and dislike or any unnatural creatures is what has helped me to exceed at this job. Campaign trait is Seasoned Hunter, +1 dmg vs Aberrations.
I hope this finds letter finds its way to your desk soon.

Thank you,
Jinase Minnower

To Whom It May Concern:

The University of Oppara is rightfully renowned as a center of learning on the Avistani continent. It is renowned throughout the surrounding lands, and with good reason. Many of the world's foremost scholars--on a variety of subjects--teach at the University. I am Lara Evangeline Ellicott-Tillingsworth, and I come to you as a graduate of that august institution.

I am an archaeologist by profession and an explorer by calling. No doubt there is ample room for explorers on a newly discovered (or should I say,
rediscovered?) continent, and the more minds at work at the great problems that confront a fledgling colony, the greater its chances of success. I come to you to offer my skills to the expedition, and am confident that you will find me to be an asset to the community, and to the company. Should you take the time to interview me, I am sure that you will agree that my skills and talents will be most useful. I look forward to hearing from you about the opportunity to prove it.

Sincerely,

Lara Evangeline Ellicott-Tillingsworth

Athletic: You have always had a knack for physical activity. You either grew up in a rural area and
had an active childhood where you were always climbing trees, swimming in lakes and rivers, and
clambering up rocky hillsides, or you competed in and excelled at contests or sports while growing up in a larger settlement. Due to this background, little can slow you down or inhibit your movements. When the Bountiful Venture Company interviewed you, they noticed your stature and physicality, and they chose you for the colonial expedition knowing that a strong back is always helpful in a growing colony. You reduce your armor check penalty by a number equal to one-third your character level (minimum 1) for purposes of Acrobatics, Climb, and Swim checks, and you gain a +1 trait bonus to
one of these three skills, chosen when you take this trait.

Darkvision is the extraordinary ability to see with no light source at all, out to a range specified for the creature. Darkvision is black and white only (colors cannot be discerned). It does not allow characters to see anything that they could not see otherwise-invisible objects are still invisible, and illusions are still visible as what they seem to be. Likewise, darkvision subjects a creature to gaze attacks normally. The presence of light does not spoil darkvision.

Intimidating (Ex) Half-orc receive a +2 racial bonus on Intimidate skill checks due to their fearsome nature.

Monstrous Humanoid (Ex) You gain a +2 bonus on Bluff, Knowledge, Perception, Sense Motive, and Survival checks when using these skills against monstrous humanoids. Likewise, you get a +2 bonus on weapon attack and damage rolls against such creatures. You may make Knowledge Skill checks untrained to identify such creatures.

Orc Blood (Ex) Half-orc count as both humans and orcs for any effect related to race.

Orc Ferocity (Ex) 1/day, when a half-orc is brought below 0 hit points, but not killed, he can fight on for one more round as if disabled. At the end of his next turn, unless brought to above 0 hit points, he immediately falls unconscious and begins dying.

Strong Swimmer (Gozreh) Your faith in Gozreh's grace gives you the confidence to swim without fear. You gain a +2 trait bonus on Swim checks, and can hold your breath for an extra 2 rounds when underwater.

Track (Ex) You gain +1 to Survival checks made to follow tracks.

Weapon Familiarity (Ex) Half-orcs are proficient with greataxes and falchions, and treat any weapon with the word "orc" in its name as a martial weapon.
Wild Empathy (Ex) You can improve the attitude of an animal. This ability functions just like Diplomacy check made to improve the attitude of a person. You roll 1d20+1 to determine the Wild Empathy check result. The typical domestic animal has a starting attitude of indifferent, while wild animals are usually unfriendly. To use Wild Empathy, you and the animal must be within 30 feet of one another under normal circumstances. Generally, influencing an animal in this way takes 1 minute, but as with influencing people, it might take more or less time. You can use this ability to influence a magical beast with an Intelligence score of 1 or 2, but you take a -4 penalty on the check.

Dear Sir or Madam.

My Name is Kaldan Tide, I believe I can be of great help in your new colony. I have worked as a Sailor, and can perform simple carpentry work. I am a skilled hunter and a proficient fisherman.

I am also ready to serve as a defender if needed and failing any other openings can perform as a strong back.

Enclosed are references from ships I've served on.

Yours faithfully.
K. Tide.

Name: Kragg Stoneheart VII
Age: old enough to be your great grandfather
Current Occupation: priest of Abadar, brewer and merchant

Education: attended local temple as youth setting the groundwork for future development. Strayed away from religion in adolescent years until a vision lead me back to an Abadarian temple in Magnimar. Entered into the service there and studied both religious and mercantile trades.

Previous experience: Spent the last 40+ years traveling the world furthering Abadar's goals while establishing trade routes and selling my brews. Through my Breadth of Experience have seen numerous people and encountered a vast array of knowledge enabling me to have some input in almost any area. This experience has also shown me some tricks in crafting items in a quick and timely fashion.

Future plans: become a member of the second trip to Azlant and use my knowledge and experience to further the growing community there. With further study I hope to provide a significant impact in the economic, spiritual, and magical growth as needed.

While my age may be seen as a liability I I assure you that I am still in excellent health. With the blessings of abadar I see no reason that I can not overcome the physical demands that such a voyage across the seas and the resulting expansion of the settlement will entail. Please consider me as a candidate for the second voyage.

I haven't yet compiled all my info into a profile sheet yet, but all the pertinent character information can be found Here on here character sheet. Hopefully that will not disqualify me!

(I like to start with a minimal background that covers the basics and then workout the details as I get to know the character.) With her slender frame, vibrant green eyes, white hair, and beautiful face Delia Everheart does not at all seem the adventurous type. One might expect to see her wielding courtly intrigue in Taldor, or perhaps rubbing elbows with celebrities in Absalom. Instead she wields a machete with such skill and sings empowering songs while she does. You see, she grew up exploring the wilderness in search of ancient lore along with her mother (specifically that of ancient Azlant origins). It was on the open road that she learned a love of Desna and freedom to always explore!

Her family was small; her father an elf that she never knew and her mother was of Varisian blood, but there was a family claim of Azlanti heritage that they could in no way prove. Perhaps that is why her mother was so obsessed with such research. It may be she sought some way to trace their family to that amazing ancient civilization. Sadly Delia will never know the answer to that and other questions about her mother's obsession as she perished in a tunnel collapse while doing that which she loved more than anything else... seeking out ancient knowledge and travel. Delia and her mother were examining some ancient ruin when the tunnel entrance began to crumble around them. Without having time for anything else, Delia's mother pushed her daughter through the portal of the collapsing archway just before unknowable tonnage of limestone crushed her petite frame.

Since that day, Delia has made it her mission to carry on her mother's life's work and to seek out anything and everything Azlanti. She began to perfect the dead language and in doing so, she has begun to awaken some strange power within... a power over the very ancient words themselves...

To The Most Esteemed Partners of the Bountiful Venture Company,

I have received word that you are planning a venture to establish a colony near the ruins of ancient Azlant by the name of Talmandor’s Bounty. My name is Delia Everheart, I am a Starchild of Desna, a daughter of the Open Road, and a scholar of ancient Azlant, among a myriad of other topics. I have spent my entire life exploring the wide world of Golarion and seeking out esoteric or ancient lore, specifically that of Azlanti origin. I fluently speak and read Azlanti, Elven, and Varisian. I am currently studying other ancient languages as well that would hopefully assist in our exploration.

Beyond being versed in knowledge and lore, I have a keen sense of direction and Desna has never allowed me to become lost. I have survived the jungles of Mwangi, the deserts of Osirion, and the haunted forests of the Darkmoon Vale. I can help locate hidden ruins and make sure your people return home safely. I can even lift the spirits of the people of the colony with the power of my voice. I am very skilled in the art of diplomacy in the event we are required to negotiate with any locals or ensure a trade agreement.

I would be an amazing asset to your colony in more ways than I can put to word. Select me for your expedition and you will not be disappointed. I look forward to accepting your invitation and will be awaiting your word at the inn of the Prancing Wolf here in Almas.

Sincerely,

Delia Everheart
