They do not let you fight,....really. Come on Wulf, you expect me to believe that there are other competing bandits around the greenbelt and you are not allowed to fight. You are a bandit, you rob and fight to survive. You mean to tell me that they will not let you fight. So since I am sure that there are no other competing bandits in the area that would lead me to wonder if there are any at all or maybe Kressle banner is in charge of them? Do you wish to rethink your words.

Adwoa I do not mean to ask for more help than we already have been granted, but I am...When Dio awakens please keep him separated from the others until I am able to talk to him. I would hate to have him be able to compare stories with the others.

As the other focus on their interrogations with the un-recalcitrant Wulf, Fenn takes the opportunity to quietly slip out mounting his chosen horse to begin trying to follow the Bandit's tracks back to their lair.
He will bow his head and smile sadly for the departing Adowa as she passes but will say nothing to the warrior woman.
He will try to be swift for the more time that passess the less clear the bandits tracks will become...

Fenn knows that we know were the camp is, which way to go and all. The interrogation took place before Adwoa got there...like just before. Andreas saw you and acknowledged you. If you feel that character would leave the rest of the party that is cool. No problems at all, I just wanted you to know what the situation was from my point of view. We might even beat you to the camp...now that would be funny, we have a camp set up for the night and in walks FENN. "You are late, We attack in an hour"..lol

Fenn was already convinced the plan was to leave on the next day because the camp was far enough away that we'd need time to get there. So he's heading out its clear to everyone that's paying attention he seems to believe its time to get to doing it.. not dallying around town anymore. And I seriously doubt that with THAT tracking roll the party will beat him there, but he is young and eagar to get started. If no one stops him or asks him where he's going what he plans on doing.. he's going to leave and start scouting for the Thorn Campsite.
Male HP:13/13 AC:19 T:12 FF:17 F:+4 R:+2 W:+1 Perc:+2 Init:2 Bastard Sword +3, 1d10+2 CMB:+3 CMD:+15 Human Cavalier 2
Lol..Well Fenn is trying to track the bandits to the Thorn River campsite and with that roll you are off to a great start...but tracking takes time and the party has the location of the campsite already. So if you want to have your character leave us to track down something you know we already have the location of...I am fine with that, I just do not see the sense in it other than RPing your character. Even with that great of a roll we would still beat you there. You move at half speed and we would be riding on horses to a location that we know of.
Male HP:13/13 AC:19 T:12 FF:17 F:+4 R:+2 W:+1 Perc:+2 Init:2 Bastard Sword +3, 1d10+2 CMB:+3 CMD:+15 Human Cavalier 2
Andreas keeps his eye on Fenn as he completes his talk with Adwoa. He turns and looks at the others and waves them over together.
As Fenn is about to depart through the gates.
This needs to be dealt with sooner than later. Fenn is quickly becoming a lone wolf...which I will not stand for. If we can not bring him back into the fold...he will have to be cut loose. We can not afford someone who is not on the same path as the rest of us. Fenn could you put off your hunting for a bit and join us. We need to go over what we know before we set out for the bandit campsite.
He waves him over to the others.
If fenn does not join us
Andreas lets out a sigh and looks on at the others.
Let him go, maybe being alone for awhile will be best for him. I hope he can come to terms with what ever demons that he refuses to let go off. That will give him about an hour of alone time before we overtake him.
He then continues with his debriefing.
If Fenn joins us or not Ok after some talking with the bandits we have found out a few things. Their base of operations is located in this area He points to a location on the map. We know which path they take to get there. We can follow those directions and be there in about a days ride. We also know that they have about double our numbers at least. This includes a hatchet wielding women who knows her stuff when it comes to fighting. They may have some Dwarven women with them. Two archer perches with at least one person in each.
He looks around at each person as he explains what they know.
The bandits are not expected to be back for another two days at least. So I say we start out towards the bandit camp and explore as we go. Once we are in the area of the camp we find it and figure out all we can about it. We figure what is the best way to assault and then just before morning...we attack.
He steps back a bit and looks at the others
Anyone have any questions or anything to add?

Fenn gently reins in his horse... and looking back over his shoulder shrugs and turns the horse back inside to amble back over to the party. He dismounts.. but does not meet anyone's gaze... and waits.
He respectfully listens to SirAndreas... taking in his assessment of the situation, casting a gaze once at the leaving Adwoa.. as she takes custody of the prisoners and leads them away...
He is stirring the dirt of the courtyard with a toe when SirAndreas asks if any have more to add...
He waits a few seconds then speaks up..still not meeting anyone's gaze, "Ah...seen tha' place on tha' map.. MistahHapps said was their camp yesterday. But you also said, he was a hardened criminal and not ta' be trusted! It's part o' why Ah stopped listenin' ta' him... or tha other crooks... those left alive~ anyways..."
Shrugging, "...so how's we suppos' ta' know tha' ain't jus' anothah lie?"
Squinting, he looks up briefly and comments, "...Ah was gonna head out a little ahead and seek out tha' site checking for tracks ta' make sure their trail leads back to an actual camp. Happs said they was expected mayhap's two days from now... what if'n he was lying bout tha' too?"
"Ah figured it best ta' find tha' camp sooner than ta find out later... when ~ we thinks we got more time; tha' it was all lies and there's nothin' there at all!"
He shrugs again... "jus' seemed ...cautious ta' meh.. tha' longer Ah waits ta' track them back to where they really come from ..tha' less chance Ah have of actually finding' out if'n it's tha' truth... or more lies."
Looking down tha' road at the now distant Adwoa.. and her charges he shrugs again, "An with Adwoa takin' them all away.. we got no chance ta' make 'em fess up should it all be jus' lies... best get after their camp right now... even if not ta' do anythin' but scout it jus' ta' find it ~ so we know where ta' strike."
Fenn grimaces at Gird's Question... raising a hand his voice almost a whisper, "ah'm a fair shot with a bow... ", is all he says.. but ...
It is now quite obvious as a longbow is a large weapon... and the gift of the Holly King's bow that was given to Fenn made of Mithril and decorated with emeralds is not on his person or strapped to the saddle of his horse.
Male HP:13/13 AC:19 T:12 FF:17 F:+4 R:+2 W:+1 Perc:+2 Init:2 Bastard Sword +3, 1d10+2 CMB:+3 CMD:+15 Human Cavalier 2
Andreas watches Fenn for some time as he talks.
There are ways to determine when someone is telling the truth or not. There are spells that are able to force the truth out of a person. You can tell a lot about a person just by the way they stand, talk or what they are looking at when you ask a question. We kept the bandits in different parts in order to make sure they could not get their stories straight when it came time to question them. For the most part Happs and Wulf gave the same answers to my questions. Somethings were off. Those being the number of bandits and if there are Dwarves in the group. The answers we got from them gave us enough information to remove the threat of the bandits in the area. We are going to do that but it will take some time to get there and to figure out the best plan of action. Given the distance to the camp and the lax nature of these bandits, I think we have those two days before they start to wonder what is going on.
Andreas steps forward and places his hand on Fenn's shoulder.
Perception:1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 He does not seem to notice the bow missing We will need your tracking skills and your bow in the coming days. Can we count on you? Diplomacy:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

Andreas looks at Fenn with concern.
I am going to pry it out of him, what ever is bothering him Alright then, daylight is burning away. We should get the horse ready and head out.
as the others hopefully start to mount up, Andreas pulls Fenn aside.
When you are ready to talk, I am hear to listen.

Fenn gets an expression of mixed emotions on his face and sighs...
He doesn't say anything but gestures for Sir Andreas to follow.
Fenn makes his way back to Jengo's grave... and there resting on the loam is the Holly King's Mithril Bow and a fresh bundle of wild flowers.
Fenn kneels beside the grave and does not speak to Sir Andreas but begins a spoken prayer...
"Mah Dearest goodess DESNA.. Ah ask you hear mah prayer and see to it tha' Jengo.. wherever his spirit resides gets may heartfelt thoughts. Ah real sorry ah took yur life mistah Jengo.. t'was not mah intent, especially against a man who was jus' runnin' away. Ah'm sure Ah'll carry tha' shame the rest o' mah days! Mah pap is tha' kinda man who would kill a person without regret... if'n he even is mah pap.. don' rightly know nowadays... but Ah've always tried to be..a bettah man than him...and it powerful grieves meh to think.. ah might be jus' like him... kill a man out o' hand ~ like Ah did you mistah Jengo. Ah fear that tha most o' anything! I still don' rightly feel worthy o' the Holly King's gift.. but more lives than mah own are at stake heah.. and these fine folks as would be mah companions.. need mah skill and and help ta stop those who would spread evil and sufferin'... like yur boss tha' scoundrel woman ~ Kressle Banner! So.. ah'm gonna have ta' take this back..again ah'm sorry.. but the needs o' the many are more important than jus' mah personal shame. Ah promise Ah'll still strive ta' be a betah man.. and make a difference fur tha' bettah with mah life. Ah thank ya divine lady DESNA fur letting mistah Jengo's spirt know all o' tha' if'n you's be pleased mahlady.. Ah-men!"
Fenn picks up the gen encrusted metal bow and sliding it across his back into his quiver...
He looks sadly over to SirAndreas and starts to walk back to the courtyard saying, "..we'd best get started... days a wasting."
..with no more words he will make his way back to his horse ready to leave.
Male HP:13/13 AC:19 T:12 FF:17 F:+4 R:+2 W:+1 Perc:+2 Init:2 Bastard Sword +3, 1d10+2 CMB:+3 CMD:+15 Human Cavalier 2
Andreas lets Fenn walk past him towards the Outpost. He shakes his head a bit and wonders what path should he take on this subject. Sighing to himself only, Andreas turns and follows Fenn through the gates.
His first kill. Never gets easy and the moment it does, you are lost. I need to break this hold he has allowed his father to have over him. Why does he give him so much power. How can I proceed with this. Everyone ready...Lets go tame this land.
Andreas eases himself on his horse slow and in a gentle manner. The horse is old but she still rides well. He directs the horse over to Oleg and his wife.
Master Oleg, Lady Svetlana I thank you kindly for all that you have done for us. We will be back in a few days time. Is there anything else you should need before we leave to remove the rest of these bandits?
If there is nothing else I think we can move on to the next part.
The table has the area map, so you can plot out your route. Unvisited hexes are obscured; visited, but unexplored hexes are partially obscured; and hexes will be clear when explored.
This job board is very cool! It'd be great if we could squeeze some on our path, or even do some on the way there, then we take a longer path on the way back.
Maybe we should follow towards the camp, then continue South for the harvesting, then do a circle West or East. Also, it seems 2 or 3 of the jobs might be with the bandits, and one of them includes keeping one of them alive (a Falgrim dude)
Male HP:13/13 AC:19 T:12 FF:17 F:+4 R:+2 W:+1 Perc:+2 Init:2 Bastard Sword +3, 1d10+2 CMB:+3 CMD:+15 Human Cavalier 2
With a final look over his shoulder at Oleg and his wife, Andreas turns his attention to the road ahead.
May the gods protect them
Following gird and the others, he rides on out of the outpost that they successfully defended.
With a light laughter...and hopes of cheering Fenn up a bit
I am only good at eating the pig...I am sure Fenn has bagged a pig or two in his day? Come on kid, let it go. Break the hold that this darkness has on you.
I am all for it, Gird. - said Annurian, complementing - Maybe we could try to track it on our way to the bandit's camp? I'd love to get some of the jobs of that board done.
I can shift into my form that has Scent, instead of the Hooves, for example, to help track the giant pig... Assuming it's Survival, and we can try to find it by smell. Plus, I can SPEAK with it, assuming it's like a pig or boar (3/day)

Fenn looks at the job board ... and does something unexpected. Pausing he reaches into his belt pouch pulling out a scroll tubes and some parchment.. with a pieces of colored chalk makes a note of all the jobs... then rolling up the list returns it to the scroll tube and stows the scroll tube back in his belt pouch.
Nodding to MrsSvetlana, "..we will take care of it all ma'am.. don you worry none!"
...completely missing the jesting going the handsome young half-elves pretty emerald eyes Determined and very serious.
Without further word Fenn spurs his horse on going back to the tracks he had been following .. Ranging ahead of the party to occasionally look for the tracks again as a double-check.. but mostly following the coarse known to all to get to the Thorncamp lair of the Bandits. Fenn is seeking to cut as much time as possible off their traveling duration!
At some point along the way.. as they travel... Fenn is cutting a few branches here and there to wrap with his peasants leg wrapping {he's never worn} around the haft of his shiny mithril bow so it does not glint in the light for better stealth in the forest...

Okay, the route the bandits take (as reported by both Happs and Wulf) is on the map in red. Is that the route you're taking? If so, are you exploring on the way?
Derra spoke, seeing if she could help Andreas. She had to admit, the human was quite good, but everyone slipped up once in a while. Still, he was good. If only he had fur...

Totally missed this post. Sorry.
Before the bandits are taken away:
Wulf's eyes pop at the fury in Derra's voice. "Fine, okay," the unkempt warrior says, "there aren't skirmishes. We're all one big gang. Stag Lord is in charge of us all. He doesn't nitpick, but he gets a share of all our spoils. Was his idea to hit Oleg's."
"We go straight and hit the bandits first, we have to be at full strength, then if we are ok we then go an explore. well that's my opinion anyway, anyone else think differently?"
Male HP:13/13 AC:19 T:12 FF:17 F:+4 R:+2 W:+1 Perc:+2 Init:2 Bastard Sword +3, 1d10+2 CMB:+3 CMD:+15 Human Cavalier 2
We have at least a days ride to get to the camp, we can investigate along the way. I agree, we should remain fresh to take out the bandits.
I do not think we should go off exploring other areas until after we take out the immediate threat.
When wulf pisses himself from Derra's intimidation...
Andreas walks away
Good job Derra, that will confirm my suspicions that there was someone calling the shots for the bandits in the area...I was thinking it was Kressle, now we know another name..The Stag Lord..hmm never heard of him before.
"Honest truth: I've never met the guy. Heard stories, I've even seem him talking to Kressle once, but other than he's a big, strong hunter-type, he likes to stay a mystery."
The explorers chart out the area immediately south of Oleg's, but find that it is what one would expect from plainlands: three foot-high grass with the occasional cluster of trees, nothing particularly interesting. After making camp for the night, they press on south to the treeline. Then, following it around southeast, they come upon the river at roughly an hour after dusk 1900. The moon is waxing bright, making visibility good, but not great low-light without torches, etc.
Perc 16:
Lumbering out of the trees is, upon first impression, an enormous human with broad, thick shoulders and two solid, tree-trunk arms stretching down to almost drag on the ground. At further glance, its skin is a sickly, greenish hue and its eyes are pools of inky blackness. Its face is long and angular, with a solid, pointy chin and a crooked, hawkish nose, and its hair looks more like a mat of forest weeds and rests tangled and greasy on its heavy brow. There is an air of unsettled violence about it—its hands end in razor-sharp claws and its body seems taut and agile despite its size.

Fenn switches his stance and speaks in the language of the woodland ffolk...
Sylvan:
"Greetings Forest Elder! My name is Fenn 'Winter'.. we do not mean to intrude and mean no harm to Your forest. We are seeking murderous bandits led by the Stag Lord and his cruel lieutenant the woman named Kressle who are even now sheltering within the forest to bring them to justice! May we please take our evening's rest here with your blessing?"
In spite of Fenn's copious knowledge of woodland creatures and monstrous humanoids, he can't quite place what this being is. Whatever it is, it quickly becomes clear that it doesn't speak Sylvan, as upon hearing Fenn's voice, the creature charges!
Placing Fenn's avatar on the map. Here's what's going on, so far Fenn's the only one that sees whatever it is he's talking to. Since no one placed themselves on the map, you can feel free to roll stealth or just join Fenn, as he is about to be attacked.
This will be on your turn of course, I've already rolled initiative. Annurian, and Fenn are up.

{Yeah... not staying there to get pounded on since everyone is going stealth on me.. that's a large creature.. bet its some kind of ogre.. that a crap-ton of damage to face with a mediocre at best AC and only 11hp! He'll one-shot me for sure!}
Fenn falls back following the broken line of the short using the terrain to spoil and get out of the large ferrel man's charge lane... Drawing his bow as he moves and shouting to the party...
"Wake up.. we gots a hostile incoming... from tha' west!!"
Move Action: Move 30'ft {as part of move 'BaB +1' Draw weapon} Standard Action: 'Ready Action' to shoot large ferrel man when he comes within 30'ft - point Blank Range

It seems this creature is very well accustomed to this area, and can see everything that is out of place, including a rather sneaky skinwalker. This is evident as the monstrous humanoid charges Annurian now that he has been discovered.
Andreas and Derra are up. No one else should take a turn until after they do or someone bots them.

Andreas keeps his horse under control as fenn moves himself out of harms way. He is retrieving his lance and slinging his shield onto his arm.
What ever that thing is it seems hell bent on have us for dinner. Move action to strap my shield on. Standard action to draw forth the lance as I am not moving at this time. I will take a 5 foot adjust towards fenn and lining myself up with the creature.

Hi everybody. I thought I'd be able to keep up with my pbp despite recent changes in my workload, but it's apparent that isn't the case. Regretfully I'm going to withdraw myself from this game as I'm unable to reliably participate :(
My sincere apologies, and best of luck to everyone!
So guys, on the kingdom roles - what’s each one going for? Annurian is particularly trying for a militaristic General vibe. Maybe even trying to start training the commonfolk and the recently recruited lowlife to form small platoons :) at least that’s my idea if we have some downtime, to try to go hunt with small groups and train them to start creating a sense of “camaraderie” that later on can bring the needed loyalty.
Councilor, Grand Diplomat or Magister would be Rillka's best fits...
In truth, Grand Diplomat would probably would not be good, I doubt. other nations would respect a halfling envoy...and don't send me to Cheliax.
Councilor or Magister then? Would take input.

Hey guys! Sorry I’m a little slow this week. I have intense activities at work until Thursday so it’s affecting my posting capabilities. I’ll normalize soon! Thanks for the understanding ;)
We seem to have melee and arcane casting down...Assuming Andreas, Gird and Annurian are all still in... divine caster, sneaky ranger, know it all bard would all fill open niches.
If its okay with everyone, I'd like to start talking in here given that I am willing/going to DM the game.
I am about to buy the adventure path and then read through it on the weekend, then start setting up the supporting documents I generally use.
I know everyone is eager to continue, but I'd like to run a recruitment for 2 more players starting today and ending September 14. Each of you would give me your top 3 picks from the recruitment in a PM and I'd go through that and announce the two new party members on the 17th (I am away the 14 through 16 anyway). From there we fire up a new intro post in the thread to introduce everyone and continue on with the game.
If someone can confirm that the below character generation rules are accurate (I'm taking them from the DM recruitment thread) I will start up a recruitment post.
Recruitment rules:
Abilities. Use the following array: 15, 14, 14, 14, 12, 12.
Traits: 3 traits, one must be a Kingmaker campaign trait. No drawbacks.
Races: This is a tough one, I don't want to limit this too much. I had a great time playing a suli. Monster races are out of course. No goblins, no kobolds, no strix, no full-blood orcs, etc. Your kingdom will be mostly populated by humans, so races that can pass as human are best, but races that are allies to humans should be fine.
Alignment: I place minimal emphasis on alignment. However, I'm not at all interested in running an evil campaign, so no evil alignments. Your character should be a good team player, regardless of alignment.
We will be using the Kingdom system from Ultimate Campaign.
The Downtime systems from UC will be in play as desired. Except earning XP.
Background skills in play.
Since your character is new. The characters will start at third level and with average wealth for their class.

No goblins, no kobolds, no strix, no full-blood orcs, etc. Your kingdom will be mostly populated by humans, so races that can pass as human are best, but races that are allies to humans should be fine.
Alignment: I place minimal emphasis on alignment. However, I'm not at all interested in running an evil campaign, so no evil alignments. Your character should be a good team player, regardless of alignment.
We will be using the Kingdom system from Ultimate Campaign.
The Downtime systems from UC will be in play as desired. Except earning XP.
Background skills in play.
Since your character is new. The characters will start at third level and with average wealth for their class.
That sounds about correct.
Look forward to the recruitment.
Thanks again for taking this up.
I contacted Paizo to get the campaign threads under my control and started the recruitment thread here
In the recruitment thread I mentioned that people should put their stat block is a certain format. I won't require that of you four however since the expectation was never there and editing stat blocks after making them is a pain in the butt.
Once I get control of the campaign tab, I will setup a loot sheet, calendar, and important people page in a spreadsheet. To this end, does anyone know what day of the year it is in game? I couldn't find it.
Gird, do you know who Drektan is in the recruitment thread? I was going to tell him I prefer he create a character that's not your slave... but I'll let you decide that one. I don't personally think it really fits the game though.
Yes, I believe I rolled my HP for level 2 and then did half+1 for level 3... Would be happy with whatever you (Rostam) decide,; even if it means redoing HP.
I looked over my notes, it could be any year - as far as I know...
in the release year +2700 model PF generally uses; spring of 4710 would be the year for the AP setting.
Okay, lets go with half +1 for hit points then, rework you hp as needed to keep everyone consistent please.
@Rillka - thanks for the note on the year, I didn't know that was a convention Paizo followed. I found the date on the charter as well, so I can count forward from there.
I see some good players coming forward and I also see some that will not make the cut from me at least. There are some characters that are nice builds but will not work with the group. Couple of days left.
