Tereze does not seem to hear Fiona as she winds up and hits the red head near the thunder lizard. ohhh I missed she exclaims not even noticing that gore splattered on her boots as she connected with the head.
She starts to walk to the the display of the thunder lizard.

Vicard moves quickly, grabbing Tereze shoulder firmly (but not painfully).
"Tereze, what is going on?" He says to her, firmly and clearly right to her face, looking for any recognition in her eyes. Seeing none he mutters to Fiona, "You might want to get that scroll..."

Gwen recoils in disgust when Tereze spits out the foul substance from her mouth. She rolls her eyes and sighs at Ery. "Now is not the time for hysterics, Ery." She then spots Tereze's unprotected face and her suddenly strange behavior. Her eyes widen as she tries to get the attention of everyone else while the oracle is distracted. She points towards her own scarf and then towards Tereze's uncovered face.

Tereze thoughtlessly slaps at Vicard's arm with her spiked gauntlet but he is more then fast enough to pull away before she connects.
She looks at him and says: You play with me? I go, you hit up to me.
with that she moves quickly over to the thunder lizard and makes as if to climb up the Skeleton.
"Not all right then."
Urbar says as Tereze acts completely different than before.
"I think it might have loosened here up a bit. Maybe for the good."
He holds his weapons and starts examining the room.
Urbar finds nothing of interest as he explores the room you're currently in. He opens the northernmost door in the east wall, and a simple room of unadorned stone is revealed. The room is piled floor to ceiling with boxes and crates, allowing room for only a few small corridors between these towers of dusty mothballed exhibits. Urbar finds nothing of interest in this room either, and rejoins the others.
Mad cackling suddenly erupts from the room beyond the other door in the east wall. "MUAHAHAHAHA!! IS GOOD! IS VERY GOOD!! BWAHAHAHAHA!!!"
"Something is definitely wrong here," Fiona says with an anxious voice to those group members near her while Tereze occupies herself with swinging her club. "Tereze might be possessed or maybe poisoned, I don't remember her acting like this before."

Gwen winces as Tereze approaches the door with the mad cackling... "I fear she fell prey to this foul mist when she pulled her scarf from around her mouth after that thing kissed her..." She looks at her comrade with concern. "I am worried we may need to knock her unconscious to remove the effect... Like we did with those workers..."
Fiona whispers to Eryzule, "I thought you were joking, I won't attack Tereze for acting a bit strange...". As she says it, however, Tereze ends up trying to smash Urbar's head. Almost instinctively, Fiona begins chanting at Tereze, but her eyes widen with fear and shame as Tereze seems not to be affected.

Tereze shakes her head.
Fiona make my head feel funny, why you do zat? Me no like feel funny.
Ill hold off posting my next move until a few more people have had a chance to respond. Me just spamming posts because I'm bored in the airport would be no fun to you all.
Just in case I need it
Urbar ducks just in time to avoid the club.
"Oi!"
The moment Tereze falls asleep Urbar will tie her up with some rope from his pack.
"There, that should do it. Now we can focus on going on."
Since Ery used his spell first I'll use Tereze's first save for his spell.
Before Fiona can finish her chant, Eryzule's sleep spell takes effect and Tereze drops to the floor. While Urbar ties Tereze up a trail of mist leaves Tereze's mouth.
Mad laughter echoes in the cramped stone chamber, of which Tereze opened the door moments before. The stench of sewage spills out of the room and battles the cold of the mist, but through the haze can be seen smears of blood across the floor, walls, and ceiling, as well as the doors of several stalls.
A man exits one of the stalls, a tiny viper slithering after him. The man points at Tereze and laughs. "HAHAHA! WAKEY WAKEY!"
Fiona looks around her, uncertain what to do next and how to respond. She instinctively stays near Tereze though, apparently trying to protect her if necessary.

Gwen would have moved forward to assist Urbar in tying up Tereze once she was unconscious. "Glad that's over..." She looks towards the open door at the voice. "Get Tereze away from the door!" She moves around towards the unconscious oracle to take hold of her and drag her back.
Urbar, after tying up Tereze, pries the scroll from her grip. He moves to Ery and hands it over to him. He readies his weapons again for the imminent attack. He moves in front of the group and between the door.
"Come..."
If the figure moves into range to attack Urbar will use a readied attack. Atk roll:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22 +2 if human

Dmg roll:1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8 +2 if human
Eryzule starts casting a sleep spell and the mad man lets out a yell. "YOU PILE OF PEANUT BUTTER!! ROARRRR!!"
Urbar pries the scroll out of Tereze's hand while Gwendallyn starts dragging the unconscious oracle away from the door.
The mad man's yelling meanwhile intensifies. "STOP IT!! I'LL COME FOR YOU IF YOU GET IN HERE!! GO AWAY!! AWAAAAAY!! I DON'T LIKE LASAGNA!!"
Eryzule breaks off his sleep spell as he accepts the scroll from Urbar. As Eryzule starts using the scroll, the mad man charges forward. He's then cut down with a single strike from Urbar, who'd quickly drawn one of his swords after handing the scroll to Eryzule. A trail of mist leaves the man's open mouth.
If you'd choose to inspect the man you'll notice he's still alive, but his guts are spilling out and he's close to death's door.
The scroll activates and a bright, blue light emanates from it. As the viper in the bathroom quickly goes into one of the bathroom stalls, the light spreads out till it covers all of you. The light then shrinks and slowly dims, after which the scroll crumbles.
Urbar wipes his sword clean on the man's clothes.
"We should carry him outside to the others. I think he might have been a worker here also."
If the others approve he sheathes one of his swords and shoulders the man to move outside.

Tereze wakes up and starts to sit up but stops as she realizes she is trussed up.
Oh Gods, what happened? My Head feels like it is stuffed with Porrage.
Her eyes fall on the bleeding man. And she looks up pleadingly at Gwen.
Please my friend. Free me so I can save that man. Zen tell me what I did to get like this. Ze last thing I remember is getting attacked by zose flying heads.
Once she is free she will move over and cast Stabilize on the dying man.
Fiona releases Tereze while saying quietly, "You... you weren't acting like yourself. All violently and so. I... we thought we'd lost you for a while back there."

Gwen looks at Tereze for a moment, unsure whether she is back to herself... However, she then recalls the mists coming out of her mouth and quickly unties her friend. "It is like Fiona said. I fear you came under the influence of that terrible mists." She hugs the oracle. "I'm glad you are back!"
Once Urbar is back, Gwen jabs him in the chest with her finger. "You cannot simply hack everyone that we come across. You need some sort of weapon that you can use to knock people out..." She glances into the terrible scene that is the bathroom. "We had best finish cleansing this place. Although I fear what we may find the dead man within one of those stalls."
Fiona stares at one of the walls, apparently lost in her thoughts again as the others talk. When a short silence falls she returns to the present and blurts, "Should we move on? Let's go check that small room before continuing into the museum," pointing at the bathroom.

Ugh! Apparently my post got lost yesterday... Urbar, I wasn't trying to suggest you should change anything about your character, I like Urbar. I just meant having a sap on your person can be beneficial for times like this lol!
Gwen stares at Urbar for a moment, then shakes her head. "Agreed, let us make sure there's nothing else in here that could snake up on us... and that we're not leaving someone alive to die slowly. And keep an eye out for that snake..." Gwen squares her shoulders and then heads into the bathroom, prepared to strike the first thing that attacks her.
Most of the party seems to agree that clearing the bathroom of all threats is the best thing to do. So while Eryzule meanders off down the hall and brings out his tea set, the others enter the bathroom. As soon as they do, the viper slithers out of its stall.

Fiona can you put zat zing to sleep? If you can I suggest we grab a sack from the other room and bag the sleeping snake. I would hate to kill the curator's familiar, as it would not endear him to ze society. I am guessing zat is what zis is as why else would it be here with him?
Tereze recovers her club and readies to hit the snake with non-lethal if it comes near.
Non-lethal Club:1d20 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 1 - 4 = 15 damage:1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Gwen rushes up and stomps on the snake, trying not to kill the little viper, but instead stun it so that they might stuff it into a sack like Tereze suggested.
A snake. Nothing to worry about, there were plenty of those in the woods near our cabin a few years ago, Fiona thinks to herself, nods at Tereze's recommendation, moves closer to the snake and tries to put it to sleep with her arcane incantations and gestures, which seem to be a bit different each time but still have the same effect.
Slumber hex on the snake, DC 14 vs. will.
Tereze rushes in and stomps on the snake, knocking it out. Gwendallyn then gets a sack from the other room and stuffs the snake in it.
After Gwendallyn's put the snake in a sack, Fiona uses a slumber hex on it. Just to be safe.
Combat's over!
Look around in the bathroom:
You find the severed head of a half-orc in one of the bathroom stalls.
One room left. I'll give you a moment to prepare yourselves.
Urbar scans the bathroom quickly, only to find a severed half-orc head in one of the stalls.
"That fellow didn't make it for sure. Not bringing him back. I believe we have one set of doors left..."
He says as he moves out of the bathroom.
"Only one thing for it I guess. Gwen shall we head in first?"

Vicard nods at letting Gwen go first. She had proven to be a army of one so far. Vicard was happy for it. He wasn't the type to enjoy beating a snake to death with his bare hands.

Gwen spots the severed head with a grimace and then steps out of the restroom. "Aye, nothing we can do for him now... Let us continue on." Once they are at the last set of doors, Gwen nods to Urbar. "Before we go in, perhaps we should listen to see if we can hear anything?" She puts her ear to the door and listen for any sounds coming from the room beyond.

Thanks, Vic! I have been pretty lucky with the die rolls for Gwen. Normally this die roller hates my PCs lol. Don't worry, this army of one will be next to useless when we start getting into social scenarios and skill-based scenarios. That is where you will be able to shine, while Gwen sits behind debating whether or not to knock out Ery! :) In all seriousness, though, I love the dynamics of this group!
Which games will we be playing?
All the PFS legal scenarios from season 0, and the PFS sanctified parts of Dragon's Demand. These sanctified DD parts will be added to fill the gaps left by the retired season 0 scenarios, which can no longer be played for PFS credit. This is not a CORE run.
The order we'll play the games in (subject to change):
0-01 Silent Tide (Subtier 1-2)
0-05 Mists of Mwangi (Subtier 1-2)
0-13 The Prince of Augustana (Subtier 1-2)
---Level 2---
0-02 The Hydra’s Fang Incident (Subtier 1-2)
0-03 Murder on the Silken Caravan (Subtier 1-2)
0-04 The Frozen Fingers of Midnight (Subtier 1-2)
---Level 3---
Dragon’s Demand – Part 1: The Blood Vow Lair (Subtier 1-3)
---Level 4---
Dragon’s Demand – Part 2: Hunclay’s Cave, Auction and Crypt of Tula (Subtier 3-5)
---Level 5---
0-06 Black waters (Subtier 4-5)

0-20 King Xeros of Old Azlant (Subtier 7-8)
0-22 Fingerprints of the Fiend (Subtier 7-8)
---Level 9---
0-16 To Scale the Dragon (Subtier 8-9)
0-27 Our Lady of Silver (Subtier 8-9)
0-26 Lost at Bitter End (In between Subtiers 7-8 and 10-11) --> We could first play a scenario from another season, to avoid playing in between subtiers. ---Level 10---
0-28 Lyrics of Extinction (Subtier 10-11)
---Level 10.1---
We could continue after this run, if the players want to! :)
Looking for 4 players who:
- haven't yet played season 0 scenarios;
- haven't yet played Dragon's Demand for PFS credit;
- can make at least 1 post a day on weekdays;
- plan to stay around the entire run (which may take about 2 years).
Other recruitment info:
- You'll have to start with a character who has 0XP, and you shouldn't apply GM credit to it during the run. Else your level will end up higher than a scenario's tier, which means your character cannot participate in the scenario.
- It's an open recruitment. So even if 10 people have already applied, you've still got a shot.
- I value roleplay a lot. I'd appreciate it if you only apply if you also do.
- Recruitment will run till at least March 22, and I plan to start the run soon after.
5th player:
I'd already promised a spot to someone else, but it turned out he'd already played some season 0 scenarios. He'll join the party once the others reach level 2, after the party's played the 3 scenarios he's already played.
Start with a character with 0 xp? We can't switch out characters if we have them? You want us to keep one character throughout? Like for example, if I have a character 1 xp we could play the first two senarios, switch to another character level 1 for senario 3, and then go back to character 1 for senario 4 and be right on track. I know that you will want balance, but I mean like switching out between a barbarian and a fighter, or between 2 sorcerers. The reason I ask is if the character has to be absolutely 0 xp, and that we have to use the same one throughout, is because many people have played at least 1 or 2 or 3 scenarios in season 0 and it would be hard to find people who played none. Not to mention, if someone played at least 1 scenario in season 0, they would have to switch out between 2 characters to make it work or start higher than 0 xp, like if you played Prince of Augustana but you bring in a 1 xp character, you are even with everyone else when the Hydras Fang start.
Any chance of letting people start out with a character of 1-2 xp in the event that they played 3 or less games? People who played zero season 0 games are hard to find, but finding someone who played 3 or less not so much. And for the people who played that game, just find a temporarily replacement for them.
Since you don't know me from Adam a bit of my role playing biography:
I've been playing for 30+ years and over that time have Played: D&D, Pathfinder, RIFTS, Star Frontiers, Call of Cthulhu, FATE, Traveler, Battletech, Doctor who, and I'm sure a few more games. I've also GM every version of D&D with my main gaming group that has been going strong for 20+ years.
In the past couple years, I've played in a couple daily PbP games on another forum that I moderate, but both died after a few months as RL got in the way for both GMs. (A story I think we all know well.)
I have never played in a PFS game, (so obviously I haven't played any of the Season 0 scenarios) but glancing over the current PFS Guide I don't see much that would be a problem, as I normally don't optimize my characters too much. (I can if needed, but I find it takes the fun out of the game if you can't fail.)
I'll even play the cleric (or in this case Oracle) for the party, as I haven't had a chance to play the healer/support in a very long time. Plus the idea of a idea of being a wandering Holy - Man, always spouting wise saying, just seems fun. It also seems like it would work so much better in PBP then at the table, where I have to think in real-time.
That said, I'd prefer to not be the primary "Face" of the group as I am very rusty on my Golarian politics/history. (Most of my Pathfinder experience has been in a home brew world)
The only one thing I will warn you about is some Fridays (and Major US Holidays) I might not be able to post until the next day. Fridays because that's when my main game group is meets (about once every three weeks), and I'll probably be prepping for the game after work, and Holidays because that's Family time. I'll give you clear warning in advance any days this is the case, but if that's a deal breaker I'd rather have that on the table now.
Let me know if you like what you see above and I'll start putting some meat on the bones of the really rough character concept in my head.
@DoubleGold:
I decided to aim this run toward players who haven't been playing PFS for too long, but have enough enthusiasm to stick around for a prolonged time. This run isn't intended for players who've already played any of the season 0 scenarios. (The 5th player is an exception, because a spot was already promised to him when I was toying with the idea of doing this run.)
I do thank you for your interest! Maybe we'll see each other in future games. I plan to GM a lot more PFS games in the future, not just runs like these.
@Scrubkai:
Nice to see you've decided to check out this format! PbP is an excellent format for roleplay, and the kind of character you've got a concept for does usually get a lot of opportunities to shine.
Missing a few Fridays isn't the worst, and it's greatly appreciated if you do indeed give me a heads up if you know you won't be around. Judging by your post, I don't expect you'd suddenly disappear. Don't worry about about Golarion politics/history if you enter the run. It's something you can learn about during the ride.
I look forward to seeing your fleshed out character submission!
This is exactly what I'm looking for as I aim to take a rogue from 1-12.
I've played two Season 0's. Hydra's Fang and Silent Tide. Both of these are on a GM credit character. I would be willing to play these again for no credit but I would obviously be leveling slower than others.
I would like to participate! Haven't played any season 0 games so far :) This is the character I would want to join with.
A man with his hood drawn walks into the nearest inn. At first sight he doesn't look out of the ordinary, looking down reveals two very large saw bladed swords. He orders a drink and observers what is going on in the inn.
I've played Hydra's Fang, Slave Pits, and Silent Tide before on my wizard. Could I still be considered? I have played through Reign of Winter here and could probably contact my GM for the credit?
I hadn't realised what a back-catalogue I'd amassed in a relatively short time playing PFS. I've been Play-by-Posting relatively consistently over the last two years, but have only seen a few groups stand the test of time. I'm also dying to play the Dragon's Demand. Is the above too much of a hindrance or could this be the group for me?
I'm a little busy at present with student theatre commitments (should wrap up by April) and coursework but will give some thought to a character this evening. I'm a Sydneysider, but generally don't find the time difference much of an issue. Let me know regarding the above and I'll get cooking on a character (and feel free to poke around my past games and see if you like my style.)
Sorry this took so long, I had to double check everything to make sure the character was legal.
The door to the Inn opens, and an attractive young female comes in carrying an overstuffed backpack with a buckler tied on the outside. Her long wavy dark brown hair is held out of her face by a white, blue and violet headscarf that is folded neatly on top of her head. She wears a lose fitting white linen blouse, multi-layered brown wool skirt and the orange sash tied around her waist all of which are dusty but otherwise look in good repair.
Although she does nothing overt to draw attention to herself, many of the patrons in the inn find their eyes drawn to her as she walks to the bar, for she moves confidence and the fluid grace uncommon among humans. She reaches the bar, smoothly turns around and rises up on her tip-toes to rest her pack on the bar, providing her watchers a peek of her dark leather boots under her long skirts. As she slides her arms out of the straps, she seems to notice the patron’s gazes for her hazel eyes widen slightly and just the hint of a knowing smile appears as she turns back to the bar.
She glides up onto a barstool and states in a musical but commanding voice, “Master Innkeeper, a glass of wine and room for ze night. For ze road has been long and ze rest well needed.”
Behind her unnoticed by the patrons who are just beginning to resume their conversations, the mugs of ale on the table behind her suddenly switch potions.
Without further ado, I present Tereze Amnell for your review.
It's a slight variant from my original concept, as that one felt too "Kung Fu", but I think it will provide plenty of opportunities for role play

Let me know if you see anything you need me to change
The only problem I have is that I've already played Silent Tide with GM DoubleGold and Murder on the Silken Caravan with another GM online. I could throw a character in for no credit to make a table legal for those two as the others I've completed.
Wow just realized the spelling fail in my last post... It should have said "the mugs of ale on the table behind her suddenly switch positions." not potions.
Although it would be cool if the spirits around me could switch the contents of cups via little arcing fountains, I didn't intend them to do something that flashy.
And just do you know StephNyan, I took that Oracle curse precisely because I expected you to be able to be able to instigate role play situations out of it. So use and abuse that to your hearts content. (assuming the rest of the players are also enjoying that)
Very interested in a good long, PFS run! I would like to submit Gwendallyn to the game. I have yet to play any of the above listed scenarios and Gwendallyn has not yet seen any PFS play. I just need to finalize the profile with her equipment and background.
She is a Brawler with a focus towards grappling, but that will not be her only focus. I plan to play her as very versatile and want to use Martial Flexibility to it's full potential!
Can I admit I'm not sure of the various technical terms such as CORE, credits, or seasons.
But I really, really enjoy playing Pbp and I've played a number PBP (and live) Pathfinder games. Been eager to try out the Investigator....Am I qualified for this game?
Mowque, those terms are used in conjunction with Pathfinder Society (link), which is Paizo's living campaign. Check out the link for more information on PFS, but I think you are exactly the sort of folk that the GM is looking for.
Also, forgot to mention in my earlier post, my PFS experience is fairly limited. I've got a Hunter who has played through 3 scenarios, and an investigator who is on her second scenario currently. I played First Steps with a Lore Warden of mine, and have a dead heaven oracle lol.

Thank you for the explanation! All of the formal terms were a bit intimidating, but I do know how to post and play the game. Let's hope that makes up for my Pathfinder Society inexperience.
@N N 959 , Twigs, DM Aron Marczylo:
I thank you for your interest, but the run's intended for players who've not played any of the season 0 games or Dragon's Demand. Unless I'm unable to fill a party with such players, I'm not adding anyone else to the party.
@CaptainFord:
The entire run's for PFS credit.
@Urbar Anden:
Looks good! I'll put you on the list of players who want to join.
@ScrubKai:
Also looks good, and nice writing! The haunted curse is my favorite curse, by the way. Just place that character sheet in your character's profile and get her an avatar which we can use on the maps. I'll put you on the list of players who want to join.
@Faelyn:
Gwendallyn looks like an interesting character to see in action! You've also been added to the list of players who want to join.
@Mowque:
If you've not yet played the games in the list for PFS credit, you're qualified to enter! I suggest you take your time to read the PFS guide. Your familiarity with Pathfinder should help you. If you still have questions after reading the guide, feel free to ask them. I look forward to see your investigator!
The way I read it he has only listed possible characters for the campaign. Love the tea RP by the way! Don't see characters using it that often :) Have a tea loving Dwarf myself.
I have played 0-06 and 0-07, but that's it. Also haven't touched Dragon's Demand.
So if you can't find enough people that haven't played any of them, send me a PM. I always have yet another character concept ready to start.
Stephnyan, I'm definitely interested, I have a couple of character ideas floating around in my head, so I just need to solidify one into a new character.
I'm waiting for hear back from Steph on a few questions before I post but I'd just like to say (in case of deadline) I have a character (with backstory) all created and ready to go.
And now I figured out how aliases work...This is some pretty accurate art for the guy.
Here is the stat block for him....if I screwed anything up, please tell me what I did! (I have a full and formal Character sheet prepared as well).

Has worked on both sides of the legal line, usually skirting outright law-breaking. Recently fallen on hard times and has turned to drink. Jobs have gotten simpler and more violent. Is on the run from several crime syndicates.
@Aspex:
If you'd enter the run with a 1 XP character you'd end up out-of-tier later in the run. Hence the requirement of bringing a character with 0 XP.
@Twigs:
Thanks, and you're welcome!
@ElterAgo:
Thanks for showing interest!
@Dragonflyer1243:
With the interest this run has gained thus far, and my eagerness to start it, I wish to close recruitment this Sunday. If you've not yet played any season 0 scenario or Dragon's Demand yet, go ahead and submit your character that day or earlier. Nice to see you're interested!
@Eryzule, Lord of Tea:
I like your character's concept, but I wonder how you got a PFS legal dusk elf. Did you get a boon for that? The list of Additional Resources lists the dusk elf as banned from PFS: "Elves: all alternate racial traits, except darkvision; all racial subtypes except arctic and dusk elves, are legal for play; all favored class options, racial archetypes, elven special materials except wyroot, feats, magic items, and spells are legal for play."
@Vicard Inck:
Interesting take on a character background, I like it! Where'd your favorite class bonus go, to an extra skill point? Could you explain how you spent your skill points? You get 6 skill points for being an investigator, 4 for having high Int, and maybe 1 from your fav class bonus, but I think you spent 13 skill points instead of 11.
@Vicard Inck: You get 6 skill points for being an investigator, 4 for having high Int, and maybe 1 from your fav class bonus, but I think you spent 13 skill points instead of 11.
I also got +1 to Diplomacy from the Upstanding trait (The Exchange campaign trait) but didn't put any ranks in it. Sorry that wasn't clear! Does it check out now?
And thanks for the compliment about the backstory! I like unusual posting formats like police report, at least for backstory and stuff. It gives you a narrative structure that isn't often melded with fiction.
Oh, whoops. Your right. Overly excited, didn't consider that. Apologies. Fixing. Question, It's a bit vague on this: Can I keep Dreamspeaker? I rid myself of Darkvsion but it outlaws Dusk Elf. So does that mean all the traits associated as well?
Think it's fine. didn't see any rejection for it specifically. Now it's fixed. He's just a 'dark' elf now. Heh.
I'm still unsure of pfs, but I originally made this character way back when. I was wondering if I could redo him, or if I needed to make another one entirely.
Thanks StephNyan, Faelyn here! Had a long day, but I finally added Gwen's gear to her character sheet. Now I just need to put her background to text. I have the main premise, just need to flesh out a few minor details. I should hopefully have that done tomorrow.
@Aspex:
PFS is an organized play campaign and has a few strict rules on how to handle XP. One of those is you can't just reroll your character. If a chronicle sheet gives you XP, your character's stuck with the XP.
If you liked playing Aspex, you'll surely be able to find a game for her on these boards. If you want to join this run, you'll need to create a new character.
@Vicard Inck:
That explains the extra 1 there, but what else did you spend your skill points on? Sense Motive also gets an extra 1, but it looks like you also put a rank there. To me it looks like you spent 12 skill points, while you shouldn't have more than 11.
@Eryzule, Lord of Tea:
All alternate racial traits, except darkvision, are legal for elves. Also, you can't be a dusk elf. If you're just a dark-skinned elf with all the racial traits of a dusk elf except darkvision, you're fine.
The reason they did this is that PFS isn't for evil characters, and dusk elves and other elves with darkvision are highly associated with drow. In PFS drow are considered to always be evil.
@Rogar Valertis:
Go ahead and have your character submitted by tomorrow. Make sure you've read the requirements in the original recruitment post. this game's intended for players who haven't yet played any of the games listed in the spoiler.
@Arrack Arza Stormstriker:
Please read the original recruitment post. It mentions the run's intended for characters with 0 XP, which indeed means level 1. If you haven't yet played any of the games mentioned in the spoiler, you may apply with a 0 XP character.
I've been thinking about rpging again online, don't have much exp there but have done p&p intermittently for 10/15 years... I wan't going to sign up here for a while but thought I might jump in feet first since you're kicking off a long lasting game from 0 exp, specifically for ppl new to the Society.
If you're happy to deal with some noob actions, then I would like to submit a character. Obviously I'm prepared to make a go of reading up on things. I'd like to throw down with an Alchemist or Fighter (Gladiator)... sorry but I can't find the info for what you want from the build, point buy and so on.
Thanks
Oh btw, I realise this isn't the place to ask but, can we upload our own avatar or do we have to use a preset?
GM, some family stuff come up today and I don't believe I will be able to get my background typed up tonight; however, I will work on getting it hammered out first thing tomorrow morning! If something changes and I can get it done tonight I will let you know. Hopefully that will not keep me out of the running!
@Mowque:
Recruitment's open till tomorrow evening. As the evening of the average person on these boards is later than mine, I'll wait till it's Monday where I live before I pick the party members.
@bluntgamer:
You'll find all the rules on character creation in the Guide to Pathfinder Society Organized Play. If you're going to use abilities, items, etc from other sources than the core rulebook, you can check this page to see if they're legal in PFS. I suggest you first read up on the guide, and then everything will be much clearer to you!
The site only allows you to use a preset avatar for your character.
If you have more questions, feel free to ask them.
Here's Asarnil. He's a young and arrogant elf from Kyonin who joined the Society for glory (and a misplaced sense of revenge).
Edit: I failed to mention you can see Asarnil's sheet by clicking on his url page in the character's page.
Also I think I qualify with the requirements but I'm not completely sure. This character has not played any season 0 scenarios yet but I, as a player have done so (SS00-06 Black Waters, SS00-08 Slave Pits of Absalom).
Re-Edit: By checking the spoiler tag I probably don't qualify. That's too bad but it's ok. Just let me know if by any chance I can join in or not.
"Well, seeing as many of us will be waiting for the word..." Eryzule speaks from a table at the recruitment office. His hood removed as he leans back in his seat, back to the corner of the room. Placed before him, a ceremonial tea set of black and yellow, a dagger along the side and a wasp toward the spout. Four cups, each striped with yellow against a black background. The elf looks about, taking a cup in hand, raising it to the group of hopefuls.
"Anyone care to join me?" He asks with a soft smile upon his face. "It's a simple tea, Gnome Garden Herbs, a little honey." The cup rises to his lips, a grin appears as he puts the cup down.
