Niadroub Kliip watches as Colwyn recovers. There's not much he can do to help, but Colwyn nearly died, so he wants to make sure the rogue baron is out of danger.
"Oonly three speells left, and Helena used a loot of helling. We should kemp for the night."
This is our second encounter of the day, right? That's a lot for Kingmaker!
"I always thought a troll would be the end of me, not some overgrown soup stock," Colwyn says, glaring at the slain turtle. He reclaims his sword and bow, limping noticeably as he goes and wincing with each step.
"Making camp for the night sounds like a good idea. It'll give me a head start on growing this wicked scar."
As the afternoon wears into dusk, Colwyn wavers between his old and new selves: he sits on a rock, that old petulance telling him that he has a free pass from the chores of making camp. Then again, as he watches his fellows fetch wood and unfurl bedrolls, he remembers his new responsibilities. Colwyn realizes - yet again, since it is still a new feeling - that people are counting on him now, and if he expects to keep his position then he needs to live up to what is expected of him.
Despite the lingering pain in his leg, he hobbles over and starts arranging stones to form a firepit.
"You can preserve it but you need to take out the offal first," says Elena. She pulls out her small hunting knife and offers to help.
Reknar pauses in appreciation as Elena clearly shows she is not afraid to get her hands dirty - "I wasn't expecting that" - he chuckles, making his best to keep up.
"It looks great" - he nods at the carapace once the job is finished - "We're a mess though" - the half-orc adds to Elena.

"It can come at you from anywhere really" - Reknar offers, while he and Elena are hacking the carcass - "Seen good men dying in two days just for crossing a swamp, and getting bitten by the wrong kind of insect - as stupid as that. No blazing glory, no nothing" - he stares at Colwyn for a second and shrugs - "It's just the way of things in this world I guess. But surrounded by these here" - he nods at the group - "I'd say your chances are way higher than average" - then gets back to cleaning the turtle shell.

For the sort of injuries she's dealt out in the past, Xan seems surprisingly squeemish at harvesting parts from the turtle, poorly hiding it by offering to keep watch while the others went to work on the carcass.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
At camp "Insects and disease, at least, you can understand," Xan remarked as Reknar talked about deaths in swamps, "there's stuff in Numeria that seems like magic, but is apparently entirely machines. You ever seen those fire beams mages can create? There are weapons up there that can somehow create that without any magic at all, but much more focused and over much longer ranges. First we knew someone was firing one of those at us was one of the caravan drivers getting his head burnt through. Picked the wrong target, though; we had a sharpshooter with a similar weapon. Took us a while to reach the corpse, it was so far away."
"Can't say I ever witnessed something like that" - Reknar nods at Xan - "Knew a fellow a few years back who claimed he had seen something like that, but no one ever gave him much credit. Guess there could be some right to his words after all" - he adds - "How do you fight back something like that?" - shaking his head.
I think the plan was to now explore the hex over Lake Tuskwater (hex 41?).

"Best I could figure was to keep moving, they might be able to finish you with one shot but they have to get that shot lined up first. Seemed harder than it looked when I had a look at the one they fired at us with. Probably just me being crap, though."

"Have you ever seen someone with a gun in action? There more common further south but every now and again you might see someone with one. I saw a woman with one the size of a hand crossbow, she shot a man in full plate from ten feet away and the armour didn't even slow it."
"Strange mysteries of the machines in Numeria are one thing but the alchemical weapons coming out of Alkenstar are going to be easier to get your hands on."
I am happy to retire to kingdom building for a while as we might be wandering out of our Restove backed area to claim.
"All this talk of mechanical sorceries makes me long for the comfort of home," Colwyn says, sitting beside the camp fire. "We can resupply, check on our lads, and rest our wounds properly."
Colwyn lays his scabbard across his knees and draws the blade, wiping it down with a rag in an attempt to keep the blade clean.

"It's not far. We can stop in at the village to make sure everything's okay, and we can always head out again if we want."
Yeah, I think we should head back to town. But we do have three weeks to explore if we want and I don't think we've used that up yet, so we could poke around a bit more after heading back if we want.
OK, back to town. Who took the Elemental Gem? You also get a Ring of Feather falling for getting rid of the Turtle.
The morning air is fresh and clean as you ride the short trek back to your town, first along the Tuskwater, and then along the banks of the Shrike river.
As you ride along the eastern bank towards your home.
Reknar, Elena & Xantria all see that the party is being trailed by a large group of wolves as the day turns to afternoon. They are not closing with you, they seem to be trailing you for now.
"I say we face them now, while we all have the benefit of the light?" - Reknar nods - "They will most likely be upon us when we camp" - and stps his horse.
Colwyn grabs his bow and nocks an arrow, but he does not turn in his saddle yet.
"I agree with Reknar," he nods, sucking his teeth. "For Old Deadeye's sake, I won't say that we need to slaughter every wolf in the Greenbelt, but the ones who'd dare to prey upon humans need to be culled."
When they see you are aware of their presence the wolves speed up, two moving to each flank while the last two remain behind you. Of more concern is that one sends up a loud howl. A howl that gets a response from ahead of you.
What are you doing now?
Sorry, I was busy yesterday, and when I could get on the board was down.

Niadroub Kliip casts mage armor. Then he looks around for any trees that the party could make their way to. They have lots of ranged options, and wolves generally don’t jump that high.

"They don't normally bother people, but the horses probably look tasty to them. Mind you, there are things out there that can control wolves, like worgs. Worgs do hunt humans."
"Generally animals are afraid of fire. We should light some."
Elena pulls a torch from her saddlebags and attempts to light it.

Forgot we have horses. Climbing trees would be a bad idea, then.
Niadroub Kliip mentally reviews his flaming sphere spell in preparation for an encounter. He scans around for some sort of defensible location or high ground.
"They aren't eating Sandy any more than they're going to be eating me," Colwyn resolves. A sneer cuts across his face.
"Know what wolves hate as much as fire? Arrows," he answers his own question smugly while raising his bow.
Colwyn slows Sandy to a canter, guiding her with his knees, and looses an arrow aimed for one of the flanking wolves to the left.

While the boys fired at the wolves, Xan dismounted and drew her sword, ready to engage them when they closed.

Huh; I forgot that Xan even had a rank in Ride. Think I only put that there because I wanted her to reliably be able to use a horse for transport and because I didn't need any more ranks in Know Nobility for the Swordlord PrC.
Okay then, she'll attempt a dismount with a free action and Ride check. If she succeeds at this, then she'll use her move action to position herself while drawing her sword and her action to ready an attack against the first wolf to come close. If she fails, then she'll just drop the readied action.

What's more, you can use Ride untrained. Your Dex alone was plenty high to try horseback combat if that appeals to you.
Seeing that the party has fallen into an ambush, Niadroub Kliip casts the spell that was on the tip of his tongue, and then sends the resulting flaming sphere down the path to the south which has fewer of the party's fighters.

"This is not good. They're trying to hit us from both sides!"
Elena raises her symbol and calls on the power of plants. "Erastil, bless the plants and confound our foes!" The plants to the northeast beegint to grow rapidly and ensnare the wolves.

Reknar dismounts and produces a small, slender wand from a spring loaded wrist sheath, and zaps himself with it, creating an invisible shield of force that hovers protectively.
Casting Shield from Wand.
Then he moves forward, and prepares himself for the fight - "Stay close! Give them hell!"

Xan shifted forward, the heat from Niadroub's sphere not really affecting her thanks to her celestial heritage, and kept a tree to her side to try and protect herself from possible approaches.
"Kinda wishing one of us had that Numerian rifle I was talking about before."
Readied action to strike the first wolf to get within range of her sword.
The Wolves struggle out of the entangling plants, only Yellow can reach anyone this round, he goes for Colwyn's horse.
Bite:1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19 Damage:1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

The horse screams and lashes out at the wolf with it's hooves.
Hoof:1d20 - 2 ⇒ (8) - 2 = 6 Hoof:1d20 - 2 ⇒ (19) - 2 = 17 Damage:1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

The unknown creature (White) casts a spell?

And appears nest to Niadroub!
Niadroub Kliip winks at the wolf creature next to him before taking a (5 foot) step into the space behind him and finishing the step in the midst of Elena, Richard, and Reknar.
Glancing a bit to the south, he mentally directs his flaming sphere to move to the blue wolf.
damage:5d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 1, 5, 3) = 14
Reflex DC 15 negates
As the wolf begins to howl and the smell of burnt meat and hair begins to fill the air, the arcanist looks back at the wolf creature in mock surprise. And then he releases his crossbow's bolt at it.
Okay, using 1 Arcane Reservoir point to use dimensional slide, which is a five foot step that's part of a move action. Then using the actual move action to direct the flaming sphere. And finally the standard action is the crossbow shot. The dimensional slide as part of the action to direct the flaming sphere... I'm not sure if that RAI, so let me know if I interpreted that incorrectly. If so, the outcome is the same since NK wouldn't have fired his crossbow, which missed.

Elena, seeing the bizarre creature teleport right up to Niadroub, becomes startled. Powerful magic! No wonder these wolves are attacking humans! she thinks.
"May the light of Erastil blind you!" she shouts, and points at the creature. A bolt of light shoots out and bursts around the creature!
I scrolled and scrolled and scrolled up and I think I messed up - there was time to do it while people were shooting the wolves, but I didn't actually declare it.
My second table has lost their Cleric over the break and needs someone who can cover the healer role for the party.
Currently we have in the party:
1 Fighter.
1 Rogue.
1 Vigilante.
1 Bard/fighter.
1 Arcanist.
Starting level is 5th.
The Crunch:
20 point buy.
All Paizo classes and races are accepted. Though if it's really exotic or out of place you are going to have to sell it to me.
No 3PP.
No Evil alignments.
I am adding new parts so previous experience isn't a problem.
Maximum HP's and gold for your class at 1st level, roll once for hps for every level after that, if it's no good take the average.
1 or 2 paragraphs telling me about your character
2 traits, you don't need to take a campaign trait at this stage, but you can if you want. No drawbacks!
Any questions or clarifications just ask.
Looking for a quick recruitment, so closing by 17/1/19.
hello DBH! I've not been able to play kingmaker yet, so I'll see if I can write up anything for this.
just a couple of questions,
1. What is the main deity of the kingdom?
2. What is the alignment decided on?
3. Are the members leaning towards a more industrial power, or one that can more easily coexist with nature and the like?
4. When you say healer, do you mean HP damage, ability damage, or both? Dedicated healing with some support(like cedric), or would being able to use a CLW wand, and throw around a couple emergency heals be the basic requirement?
I had a character at one point for a Kingmaker game that would fill the role you want nicely I think, not sure where she is but I'll try to find her after work tonight.
Hello. I've got a really oddball character for you. Would you be opposed to a faun fey character? I've built the race in race-builder to hopefully be balanced, but I could change it around if needed. If not, that's okay.
Using the build rules as written, here is my very poor Cleric. Not much to tell about him, he is a basic heal bot that tries to keep the party going. As normal, if picked I'll give him a name, make an alias, and provide a little backstory.

Sorry for going quiet, my health is very bad at the moment. I will update everyone as to how things are after Monday and the Doctors appointment.
I will answer the questions though.
The last Cleric was a worshiper of Erastil. Party is generally of good alignment and don't really worry too much over religion, as long as religion doesn't bother them too much.
They haven't really decided on more than lets get the kingdom up and running, still too early to see where they're going. Big on second chances though. They have recruited a lot of NPC adversaries.
The party wants a dedicated healer, the bard already can throw a few CLW's around and use a wand.
On Gold yes take maximum for 5th level, sorry about that I just copied my details from the starting recruitment.
Ok, I'm working on someone. As a means to connect with the party, I am thinking about the character living in the wilds and joining the new settlement. Is that okay, or should I use a different excuse?
This is an introduction to the character, Arvydas Vanduovicius. He's going to be either an Oracle or Shaman (not sure yet). The story will be tweaked to your directions and to intertwin possible traits (which I haven't even considered yet).
Background:
Arvydas was born in the Stolen Lands, though his parents were originally from Brevoy’s countryside. Followers of the old religion worshipping the spirits of the land, superstition and xenophobia made them flee their homeland and seek shelter in the wilds.
From a young age, he showed the same talent as his father to sense the spirits and nature forces. Bodan instructed the young boy in an attempt to make the old religion endure. Arvydas inherited his father’s talent and his mother’s wisdom, so he ended up being a very capable shaman.
The Stolen Lands is not a nice place to be, though, filled with natural hardships and rough people. However, thanks to their talents for survival and spirit-talking, they managed to live off the land and scare most of the bandits inhabiting the zone, even befriending the most benevolent of them.
One day, his old father talked to him, making him know of the King Surtova edict to dispatch people to the Stolen Lands and form a new country. ”Child” he said, ”these people are coming to these lands and there’s nothing we can do about it. But there is certainly something that we should do, and that is to ensure that our religion does not die with us.” So he was entitled to make the faith persist through time.
He left his home and family, in pursuit of the Brevoy expedition, with the aim to find a niche for him in the founding of the new country and thus spread the old faith or, at least, try to gain the hearts of the people so they won’t see it as something to be feared.
Arvydas
The young Arvydas,in his twenties, is a healthy man, not very strong or agile but still capable of surviving in the wilds. The isolation in which he grew up took some toil, and he’s not the most fluid of speakers, but he shows a great common sense and is always willing to help as much as he can when someone is in need of medical care, something that has earned him a reputation in his homeland and the respect of peasants, bandits and smugglers alike. This inclination to help and heal doesn’t mean he will hesitate to use his gifts for defense, though, and those who have tried to rob or kill him or someone under his protection have discovered that the spirits of the land are quite nasty beings to deal with.
Arvydas’s is seeking the group to establish himself and his faith in the settlement. Not to make the Old Faith a dominant religion, but just to gather together all who still worship it and avoid the masses from growing false beliefs upon it. His actions, therefore, are going to be his best weapon to gain the people’s heart.
Thanks for the answer and delays for that reason are completely understandable.
HP:1d8 ⇒ 6 HP:1d8 ⇒ 2 Use average instead.
HP:1d8 ⇒ 7 HP:1d8 ⇒ 4
*EDIT*
There, all finished. One thing I had thought of doing when I originally made this character as a part of the story is that one of her siblings had gotten bored and come looking for her. I had thought of taking leadership when that happens and have the sibling as a follower though if youdon't want that feat taken then maybe as just an NPC or something along those lines.
Garen grew up in Rostland. As the second son of a successful merchant he stood to inherit very little. To avoid strife within the family he was promised to the church of Erastil early in his childhood. He grew up in the church growing in prowess and religious fervor. He puts a premium on family and looks to make the lands safe for those pursuing the proud traditions of farming and trade. The call to reclaim the lands to the south have brought him to the wilderness to bring civilization and faith to those who would be barbarians.
Updated heal bot with average gold wealth and background skills. Feels better to have all my healing kits now. Ready to save the world.

Selective Channeling Exclude targets from the area of your Channel Energy.
@Jereru. Your background is fine. Oracle or Shaman work well, especially a Shaman with the life spirit. I've made one for another game with that and she's a very good healer as well as having water as her wandering spirit. So nature as his main and a life wandering spirit would fit your background.
@Everybody else. Some interesting and varied characters.
At this stage the Kingdom is less than a year old and just getting started. One main town and a couple of small settlements. They have a treaty with the Kobolds and the Lizardmen for peaceful coexistence.
That was one of the possibilities, yeah, a shaman Life/X or X/Life.
Another possibility, which I am considering, would need some special approval from you. I'll present my case.
The build would start as an Oracle. The chosen archetype would be Pei Zin Practitioner. It's a Tian Xia flavoured archetype, and that would be the first thing: to reflavour it just as someone who uses herbalism to heal.
Then, to get that nice koldun feeling of talking to spirits, I could just fluff it OR use also the Spirit Guide archetype.
BUT, the Spirit Guide and Pei Zin both replace class skills. Technically, that would be illegal, but I guess there should be no problem in letting Pei Zin substitute any skills gained through the spirit feature and the Spirit Guide archetype for its own thing (which is: no extra skills in exchange for the ability to use Profession:Herbalism instead of Craft:Alchemy). That would also require your approval, of course.
With this, Pei Zin would grant a feature similar to Lay on Hands, while Spirit Guide would give the flavour of a spirit managing guy (yes, and hexes, but instead of revelations, so I guess that's more or less even).
Ok, working on a cleric of Abadar, not sure if they will be ranged or melee for combat, non-healing roles, probably ranged. Question, would you allow composite crossbows? (Like the longbow?)
He will be LN likely, with a merchant background focused on fixing the most important issue of the kingdom, its written laws, its monetary system, and its trade/economy. For walls require funding, guards require payrolls, and so on and so forth.
He will also have a small flair for the extravagant, though always tempered with functionality
Zelera - Female Human Cleric of ?
Garen Williamson Male Human Paladin (Hospitaler) of Erastil
[b]???-/b] Male Aasimar cleric (merciful healer) of Sarenrae.
And a number of possibles. I'll close the re-recruitment on Wednesday. So if you want to join get building. :)
I am one of the players in the game - from my part, thanks a lot for all the ideas put forth so far.
I am curious to know a bit more about your characters - how do you see yourself playing them, both in the group and out of it, both in combat and out of combat?
Stuff like group dynamics, interacting with NPCs, things like that - how do they pan out for your character?
I think I will formally withdraw, while I am interested in a law abiding pc for kingmaker, I just don't think a cleric or divine magic class is really getting my attention, especially for this AP.
Garen feels that he and the clerics of Erastil are to set an example for others to follow. He offers support and encouragement to anyone who is of the faith or not and works his best to support those around him whether it be in combat or out.
In combat he is more of a defensive fighter utilizing his heavy armor to allow him to drive directly into the enemy. He tends to go after the larger of the foes but only calls on his smite when the situation is dire. He will sacrifice a moment in combat to heal his companions if needed.
Outside of combat Garen is polite but persistent if there is something he wants. He is typically friendly, always giving thanks to Erastil and looking for opportunities to bring others to the faith. Garen does not however tolerate lies and has become rather good at discerning them (sense motive 10).
Zelera is a woman on a mission, she was tasked by The Lantern King with making sure that this burgeoning kingdom is one that will respect nature and the rights of the fey that may reside within it's borders and to keep the place from becoming stodgy and boring.
Out of combat she is meant to be a fairly social character who can serve as the face of the groups when needed but primarily is a source of spiritual guidance and a little chaos. She is likely to prank people if she feels they are being too rigid or full of themselves and while this could cause some problems for everyone she would see this as a necessary thing. None of this would be harmful really, more embarrassing. While I would generally have her trick the other PCs as well as NPCs if she felt it was needed I would refrain from that if the group preferred.
In combat Selera is meant to be a support/controller. She can provide some buffs and will have healing available but she is meant to use magic to turn her enemies against themselves and debuff them. She won't be able to do much damage in combat but she isn't meant to and you seem to have that covered already anyway. I may end up picking up the feats for star toss style to give her a bit more usefulness in that regard.
Also note that while she is technically human Zelera does not see herself that way. She fully believes she is one of the fey and she is on her way to becoming one. She already has the Fey Obedience feat and I will likely move her into the Feysworn PRC next level which has a number of things it can do as it levels up that should provide her with more durability and utility.

My character is pretty much just a heal bot to keep you all alive so that you can keep progressing. While he is pretty good at diplomacy (because he needs charisma for channels), he can take the front line on discussions and negotiations or auto assist anyone else that cares to do it. I don't anticipate ever hitting stuff, but can if I have to. He is more about being merciful and redeeming and forgiving the evil (i.e. he wont channel to harm) and he sees the good in everyone.
Sonny has seen much and lived a rough life. He is understanding of others problems and looks to lead them out of their bad places and into be productive members of society, like he was shown. He is ready to forgive and help those who want it but ready to put down those who don't. Much like his goddess he believes in redemption but hates undead.
In combat he is a caster. He will use his spells to help and only enter combat if needed. He will heal both with spells and channels if needed.
Out of combat he is social and diplomatic. He tries to get along with everyone because you can't redeem someone who hates you.
