I am looking for five bold adventurers who have never played or read (and therefore do not know) the Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh and the other modules in that series. On the border between Andor and Cheliax, there lies a small town called Saltmarsh. Nearby are said to lie the ruins of an abandoned stronghold. Those of an adventuring mind might find riches and glory therein, it is said. They might also find only death.
This prolonged adventure path will play through a revised B1 In Search of the Unknown, the Saltmarsh trilogy, and will culminate in an assault on the Caverns of Chaos. Be warned, however, that not all is what it seems, and several alterations to the originals have been made to preserve a sense of surprise.
Contrary to the above, I will accept people who know the secrets (because I have made several changes to the adventures), but first preference will be given to those who do not. Please indicate your familiarity (or lack thereof) in your submission.
You can role-play if you wish, though it will not affect your chance of being chosen. Please do so in the Discussion thread to avoid cluttering the Recruitment thread.
Hmm, I can cook something up.
I am vaguely familiar with Saltmarsh (read it once decades ago, little recollection). I am fairly familiar with Keep on the Borderlands simply because I read and ran it so manny times. I would be vaguely familiar with In Search of the Unknown, having perused it decades ago.
Probably will just make a fighter. I'm boring that way.

Good evening,
I am not familiar with Saltmarsh, though the general politics and geography of Andor and Cheliax are known to me. GM, you mention "bold adventurers" while leaving much of what the adventure is in the dark. Is the intended motive the search for the riches and glory?
Though you mentioned roleplay is not necessary for the recruitment, what is the balance of rollplay vs. roleplay in your game? I'm a few notches towards the latter.
Many thanks!

Initially, yes, the motivation will be fortune and glory. After the first couple of adventures, though, that will change. Your motivation will become one of doing the right thing. I like roleplay among the players and strongly encourage such. I believe that if the players have a commonality the adventures will flow more freely.
I am not familiar with these modules at all, but I love the idea of giving older modules a chance! Are they deadly as older modules often tend to be?
I have an elf ranger I started for GMTribute's thread earlier in the year. Will have to make some adjustments for point buy.
I have not played Saltmarsh or B1 and it's been a few decades since last visiting the caves.
Hopefully we can avoid having a "holier-than-thou" Paladin that gets us in over our heads in the first battle. ;)
I am not familiar with Saltmarsh.
Made up the crunch for an Aasimar bard. Needs fluff.
Never played these modules, in fact I'd never heard of them before :)
In that spirit I'd to propose a glory seeker with a class I've not played before, a magus. I'm thinking of one based around frostbite and longer adventuring days with some social skills (played a few characters without diplomacy in a PbP and regretted it).

I'd like to throw my hat in the ring for this as well. In all my years of gaming, I've never gotten around to playing this series, though I've heard of it.
Off the top of my head, I'd be interested in playing a Chelish cleric of Cayden Cailean who had to flee eastward after the Hellknights came close to arresting them.
I'm sure I never did play those Saltmarsh things.
But even if I did, it would've been long forgotten.
I'll see if I can come up with something interesting for this.
I've got a case of "alias bloat". So I have lots of inactive aliases I can tweak for this sort of thing.
I'm thinking of a debuffer magus. Should be fun.

Background:
Avalie's parents were simple folk iving in a small isolated Andoran village. They longed to have a child but were unable until one day they played host to a poor traveler who unbeknoweed to them was actually a powerful raelis azata, and the couple was blessed as a reward for their kindness. Not long after that, they discovered they were going to have a child. Avalie was born with striking silver eyes that made her celestial-blessed status clear from the start. She displayed a great love of songs and stories from earliest childhood, and as a young adult, left home for the city to ply her talent in music, and arcane magic.
Appearance
Avalie has a slender, graceful, slightly androgynous figure. Her blonde hair is especially thick and lusterous and her intense silver eyes almost seem to glow at times. She perfers clothing in bright blues and greens.
Personality
Avalie is cheerful and gregarious by nature. She loves people and tends to see the good in all of them, and very few things can truly earn her hatred. She adores hearing and telling stories, and learning songs. She also greatly appreciates visual forms of art.
Up till this point, I'd never even heard of this adventure, let alone its sequels. But it definitely sounds interesting!

BACKGROUND
During an escape attempt gone awry, Galfon’s parents were separated from the Bellflower Tiller contact that was supposed to guide them to Andoran. Lost in the woods and under the pursuit of their master’s men, they desperately offered their prayers to Erastil, asking for his protection. An elk appeared and led them to freedom, the trees shielding them from prying eyes, and the undergrowth hiding their tracks.
Whether it was truly divine providence or just plain luck that saved his parents, this story was one that Galfon grew up with as a child. As far as he was concerned, he owed both his freedom and his very existence to it, as well to the Stag God. This, combined with the freedom-loving ideology that he grew up with in Andoran, was all the inspiration Galfon needed to decide on his path. The halfling was still a young man when he first took up the bow and swore his paladin’s oath to Old Deadeye. He resolved to one day join the Eagle Knights, so that he could help defend Andoran’s borders, as well as the freedom he holds so dear.
Until that time comes however, Galfon has been content to patrol the borders of his own volition, practicing his skill with the bow and keeping his eyes open for escaped slaves, ever mindful of the ever-present Chelaxian threat. Saltmarsh is the first major prospect that he has laid his eyes on; if he could claim the stronghold there for Andoran, then their presence on the border would be strengthened. Little does he know of the true danger that awaits him there…
DESCRIPTION
Galfon is a ruggedly handsome halfling with a barrel chest and strapping arms, testaments to his skill with the bow. He has short, tousled blonde hair, and persistent stubble on his chin that resists any attempts to shave it.
I played B1 and Saltmarsh many years ago (early 80's). I have forgotten a great deal of it, and with your alterations, it should be like a new experience for me.

I should have a (tweaked) back-story for Manzuqari in the next day or two.
Thanks!
I discarded my idea for a cleric and now I'm working up a Ranger with the Falconer archetype from Ultimate Combat and the Andoren Falconry Feat from Pathfinder Chronicles: Campaign Setting. If I can figure out this formatting, I'll post them up later today.
Hello again! Xunal here again. Using the new profile for this submission.
I got the Manzuqari back story finished faster than I expected.
And tided up a few tings in the profile as well.
Should be all done.
Let me know if there's anything I need to change.
Thanks!
Like many other slaves, Manzuqari soon found himself on the Vested Squire; an innocuously named Chelish slave ship. However, luck was with Manzuqari and his fellow slaves on the Chelish slaver. The Vested Squire was intercepted by an Andoran 'pirate' ship looking to free slaves. Especially those bound for Cheliax. The Chelish sailors and their guards were stiff opposition, but the Andoran raiders overcame them and freed their cargo of slaves.
So it was that Manzuqari, an Ifrit who knows virtually nothing of his past, came to live in Andoran. Many of the slaves Manzuqari first met were halflings, which is how he came to know their language so well. His first real friend was Moitra; a halfling bard from Almas. She recognized Manzuqari's talents and taught him how to sing and compose poetry.
While Manzuqari has the poise and grace of Moitra, he has a much different temperament. He lacks Moitra's restraint and composure, and is also both impetuous and ardent when faced with violence. His own fiery blood, and recent past, gives him a knack to impart a florid rage to others.
Despite their different temperaments, Manzuqari is still Moitra's most devoted friend. Since he knows nothing of his own past, Manzuqari naturally sees Moitra as the beginning of his own life.
However, the sedentary life does not agree with Manzuqari. In that much, at least, he is a typical ifrit. As restless as a flame seeking fuel, he seeks glory and adventure.
And submitted! Elven investigator (empiricist), interested in proving himself to society, his father, and himself, not necessarily in that order.

Okay, so far we have:
Avalie - Aasimar bard [Andygal]
Galfron Tellow - Halfling paladin of Erastil [Mahorfeus]
Tasius Augustus - Human magus [FangDragon]
Sitko Liliyfrond - Kitsune psychic [William Nightmoon]
Manzuqari - Ifrit skald [Xunal]
Friar O'Grady - Human priest of Desna [Fat Friar]
Eristinian the Younger - Elven investigator [Misroi]
POSSIBLES
Unnamed drider spellsage [Yokaiboi]
Unnamed ranger [Marc L]
Unnamed cartomancer [Raltus]
Did I miss anyone?
Also, Manzuqari, a masterwork backpack is 302 gp by my reckoning. That will have to go on the wish list, as you only start with 150 gp.
Interested. I'll try my hand at tanky character I think.
I'll be submitting an archery-focused ranger. Just have to adjust the point buy and clean up the sheet.
I have an elven unchained rogue that I will submit Friday night.
thanks for reminding me the masterwork backpack was a thing. I have now managed to spend most of my extra starting gold and get some more hopefully useful stuff.

This sounds amazing! Let me decide on a character.
Digger's submission is a slightly dim good hearted rabble rousing son of an Andoran officer. Need to switch a trait but he's done. Inspiration drawn from the personas/characters of Will Rogers and Andy Griffith. Possible too-deep-cut a synthesis of Andy Griffith's characters in the Andy Griffith Show and Elia Kazan's A Face in the Crowd (important viewing, these days).
EDIT: Trait changed. He's done. I like the arc of mercenary-to-good. Very fun to rp.
Ok, got my submission done.
Wilf is the son of an adventurer from Andoran. His father died on one of his expeditions, His father's comrades brought back dad's backpack as a keepsake for his son. Left as an adolescent with no father, Wilf took up herding sheep as a profession. This was not an easy life, and it toughened up Wilf, but left him a bit short on education. He did receive a bit of militia training to supplement what his father taught him before his last, fateful expedition. His equipment is minimal, just some hide armor made from wolf hide (gained protecting his flock), and a stout club. The elaborate equipment in his backpack is rather out of place compared to his threadbare clothing and improvised arms and armor.
Wilf is willing to talk to people, but rather dull. He's used to talking to sheep, and they are not overly picky about quality of conversation. He's not traveled much, but has long longed to take up his father's profession as being a shepherd really isn't that much fun. Sheep really are dumb.
He's a tall lad, 6'3", heavy of build, with brown hair and beard.

Ability Name (Type) Description
Background
Caelryl is the youngest child of Corryl and Baelrae and grew up in Dreadwood. His father, a ranger, worked to clear the forest of evil creatures while his mother, a druid, cared for the animals. His parents taught him how to track and hunt, as well as how to communicate with wild animals. While his older brother joined in the protection of the forest, his sister had a gift for healing and used that to help the warriors.
When Caelryl became old enough, he too joined in the defense of the forest but quickly became disillusioned as there seemed to be an unending supply of creatures entering from the marshes. He urged the leaders to send forces into the marsh to find the source, but they were too concerned that it could be seen as an act of aggression against the neighboring kingdoms. When he learned of the haunted manor in Saltmarsh, he knew it was his chance to help cleanse the area for good. He resigned his position and set out to find his destiny.
Description
Caelryl is of average height for an elf. However, being a little stronger than average, he looks stockier and is slightly heavier than typical for his height. His brownish-green skin is offset by his tan hair and emerald green eyes.
He is fiercely independent, but is extremely loyal to his friends. He will not hesitate to come to the aid of an ally.
Character Outline
Mechanically, he will be an elf ranger focused on archery but carrying an elven curve blade for melee (once he can afford one). He will also eventually have an animal companion.

Definitely some good characters there. I'm going to have a time picking just five. Friar O'Grady, I need a brief backstory. Just a paragraph about your origin will suffice.
This is my submission
