The only thing that comes to my mind reading this is the fact that I'll be watching "The Hobbit" tomorrow.


Damn you!! :D


Male Human Fighter/Monk (Master of Many Styles)

I've got a question. Does everyone have a specific role or roles they would like once we get further into the campaign? I know it sounded like a few would like to try for King. I think I'll likely go towards Marshal myself.

@Black Fang - Would Knowledge (Nobility) have any chance of baring more information about any of the people currently in the room with us?

Yes, it would.

Alright, I'm not sure who all it will help with, so I will make checks across the board.

  • Retired Swordlord Rorr - 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
  • Lord Mayor of Restov Ioseph Sellemius - 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
  • High Priest Ezvanki Keegh - 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
  • Merchant Xenos Tobler - 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
  • Swordlords of Restov - 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
  • Regent of the Dragonscale Throne - 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
  • Oleg Leveton - 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
  • Svetlana Leveton - 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Wow, he definitely has some things to learn still. But of course he rolls fairly well for the Swordlords like he should.

Edit: Oh and if you have some time, I would greatly appreciate if you would collaborate with me on deciding who Theodronis's parents should be.


Male Human Gestalt 1: Fighter / Cleric of Abadar

wow, already off to a fast start! not sure i'll be able to keep up this pace every day but VERY glad Im able to do it here at the start.

Hyglak:
Thanks for taking the lead and jumping in with the 'cousin' stuff. Looks like with the same family and the same deity we're bound to be pretty connected going forward, which sounds cool to me since its filled with possibilities!

My idea for Connel is that he's from a pretty minor branch of the family so might not be completely connected to everything going on.......are you thinking that your story is well known enough that even a minor branch would have heard it? And Im assuming that your physical appearance is enough that if I DONT know the story I can certainly tell there is one?

  • Retired Swordlord Rorr: He left his duties to take care of the family of his deceased brother.
  • Lord Mayor of Restov Ioseph Sellemius: Aside from being the Lord Mayor of Restov, he is also a skilled swordsman.
  • High Priest Ezvanki Keegh: Not a noble, but a widely respected, if not liked, priest of Erastil. He is a terror with a bow.
  • Merchant Xenos Tobler: You know nothing of him.
  • Swordlords of Restov: A remnant group from before the unification of Issia and Rostland into Brevoy. They are renowned for their mastery with specialized swords.
  • Regent of the Dragonscale Throne: You're pretty sure the charter is correct in naming the current Regent.
  • Oleg Leveton and Svetlana Leveton: You've never heard of them.
  • Knowledge (religion) would reveal more about Keegh. Knowledge (local) would reveal more about Xenos and the Levetons.

    Are you opposed to a minor change to your background? If you're from Mivon, you could be the son of Rastone Selline, a swordlord from there.

    I'm fine with that. I just need to see where Mivon lies exactly. Perhaps he's trying to ready himself for the dueling tests that come before one can learn from the Aldori Swordlords there.

    Connel:
    As far as physical appearance goes, yeah the red eyes and claws are something of a give away :)

    I figure that Hyglak has been around long enough that most members of the family are aware of him even if they don't talk about it, the dirty secret that everyone knows. Despite being one of the branch houses him and Cob, especially Cob, are relatively well known thanks to being in their 70's. Hyglak's birth is probably a cautionary tale about marrying politically without properly vetting your future spouse.

    Mivon is one of the River Kingdoms, south of the Stolen Lands. ;)

    I thought it was, but I'm going to pull out a map later and get a better understanding of where it lies exactly within the River Kingdoms.

    No worries. If you like the idea of being from Mivon, it won't really impact the game much, at first. ;)


    I'm not sure of what all the roles are, but I'm sure we can figure it out when we get to that point.


    Can't really put my finger on how the roles will play out - guess it makes more sense developing it as we go.


    Male Tiefling Ranger 1/ Inquisitor of Abadar 1 (Gestalt)

    Just saying now, I'm down with Spymaster if someone else wants Ruler.


    Who wouldn't want to be king? ;)


    Male Tiefling Ranger 1/ Inquisitor of Abadar 1 (Gestalt)

    Viziers seem to get way less assassination attempts on them, sometimes best to be the power behind the throne :)


    Male Human Gestalt 1: Fighter / Cleric of Abadar

    High Priest here - the main concept of the character is a priest of the God of Cities being one of the guys that starts a brand new city, so he's definitely aiming to be the divine 'voice' for the civilation we build.

    Black Fang, I will try those Knowledge rolls if it is ok:

    Knowledge (Local): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
    Knowledge (Religion): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12


    Helgash
    Local: Xenos is a proud Rostlander who has traveled the length and width of Avistan as a merchant. He lost his wife some years ago while traveling through western Ustalav.

    Local: You heard something about some folks getting permission to take over an abandoned border fort.

    Religion: Nothing new.


    Abandoned border fort - that's just the thing for us :D


    Male Human Fighter/Monk (Master of Many Styles)

    Did anyone else get their Paizo holiday card?


    Female Half Rusalka (Samsaran) Winter Witch | Menhir Savant Druid 1

    Annik would fit as Magister or Treasurer.

    Assuming we need NPC's filling some roles and if our GM has Annik's adopted sister show up at some point (she's at the moment gathering forces for a greater search of the stolen lands) she would be a great fit for Warden (assuming no player wants that role).


    If you want to buy anything more, you'll need to find a place that's open after midnight, as it's around 1 am.


    Well, we won't be leaving until morning right? :D


    Correct, so if you plan on sleeping, you'll not have much time to shop. By not much, I mean basically none.


    I realized looking at my character that I had Ki Mystic listed instead of Lotus. I had touch of serenity on my sheet instead of stunning fist, so I corrected the sheet to Lotus.

    No worries.

    Edit: Do I understand correctly that you're treating your eidolon as simply some awesome armor you can summon? If so, thank you for the fun I can have with that. ;)


    Korren, with you riding it, your light warhorse is carrying a heavy load, meaning its speed is only 35 ft. per round, 3.5 MPH, or 28 miles per 8 hours traveling day.

    Baelin, I meant to ask, how are you meeting the prerequisites for Crane Style?


    Theodronis wrote:

    Good catch.

    Baelin, you'll need to replace Crane Wing with something else, and Crane Style replaces it as your 1st level monk bonus feat.

    Edit: Being more defense focused, I recommend Combat Expertise, unless you want to shift the +2 Str evolution to Dex and take Dodge, meaning you'll be able to pick up Crane Wing at 2nd.

    He'll be able to pick up Crane Wing next level as a Monk feat without Dodge.

    Gah! My brain appears to have abandoned me....

    Again, good catch. ;)

    It kind of sucks cause that means he'll have to push off Wing Riposte till around 6th, but its feat intensive to be able to get it 2nd level. Heck, without gestalt a Human is the only race that can normally do it.

    Where is this farmhouse located? Silly not to ask....if we are in New Stetven Id be living at the temple and not have trail rations as part of my normal gear. If we're not in New Stetven Id have traveled to get here (and therefore grabbed rations when I left the city).

    Or I'll be eating berries on the trail and hoping for the best I guess..........

    I'm sure Theodronis would lend Connel a hand if necessary. He's got an okay survival and a few trail rations on him.


    You are currently in Restov. Rorr's townhouse, which he is actually in the process of selling, is on the NE outskirts of Restov.

    Oleg's Trading Post is almost 6 full 8 hour days of travel at wagon speed to get there from Restov.

    ^ you OK with me retconing my character sheet to assume I would have left New Stetven prepared? Sorry, shouldnt have assumed.....

    You have the coin for it, so feel free to add rations, etc.


    Male Human Gestalt 1: Fighter / Cleric of Abadar

    thank you sir! sheet updated and ready to go.

    But thanks Theodronis, im sure itll come to that some day........

    Well, with a little readjustment it is carrying a medium load, but that changes nothing; it's speed is still reduced. Even a heavy horse would be at a medium load with me and minimal gear.

    Yup, the hazards of being a big character.


    Male Tauric Halfling/Sword Spider

    I suppose I could reduce his weight just a bit so that eventually, when I can afford a heavy horse, it would not slow down the heavy horse. If you will allow of course.

    Has no impact on today though.

    Also, I noticed that I had not listed my domain or spells, so I have now done so. I have also adjusted my gear very slightly. Are these changes okay?


    you guys missed it Im master of many styles 1st level feat is Crane Style as its pre req is monk 1, monk bonus is crane wing don't need prereq. That is why MoMS is such a big level dip. I get crane riposte next level as a bonus

    Theodronis you have the same build, MoMS doesn't need to meet pre req for bonus feats, so you don't need dodge though it is still good to have


    Ah and yes a celestial version of Iron Man.

    Isn't the Monk lvl 1 only an alternative prequisite for the BAB +2?

    At least that's how I always understood it (might have undervalued monk levels if I'm wrong)

    You are correct. Baelin still needs Dodge to get it, and a Dex of 13+.
