Welcome to Quest for Gloriana, a Pathfinder adventure set in the world of Quest for Glory (the adventure/RPG hybrid from Sierra Online).
The setting document for Gloriana can be found here.
Players, please set your tag line as follows:
HP: xx/xx, NL: x | AC xx/xx/xx | F+x R +x W+x (save modifiers after the save) | Per: +x | Init: +x | ammunition, limited use abilities, or whatever else you would like to have here to keep track of.
(Thanks to DM Salsa for the tagline setup).
Inventory wise you are allowed to start with the following:
1 set of armor you are proficient in.
1 melee weapon you are proficient in (dual wielders may have a set).
1 ranged weapon you are proficient in.
1 set of clothing.
1 kit appropriate to your class.
1 magic item of your choice worth 500 gp or less (buying price, not crafting price).
The items cannot be masterwork or made from a special material (with the exception of the magic items, of course, which are often both by default).
Once everyone has dotted into both threads and set up their characters we will begin. Any questions go here.
should be in proper format.
took composite longbow as my ranged weapon, please advise if that's not allowed.
I'm fine with a composite longbow.
Think format is set....
I noticed that their are three of us from Mordavia... Wondering if there's any chances we would know each other?
There, stat line done.
If you want to know each other, that's fine. No reason you couldn't.
Format set.
For me, I enjoy the process of characters getting to know one another. I think it makes for good rp.
I would doubt that Felitcia ever met either Trathling (he left the country before she did and he likely wasn't in any vampire courts) or Marche (similar reasons to Trathling). It would be possible that she'd run into Trath after the Darkone's defeat as she fairly quickly beat tracks out of the country, but I find it unlikely myself or if they did it was only in passing since she tried to avoid most people from Mordavia.
Format set
I believe everyone has dotted into one thread or another. Marche, please be sure to set your tagline. I'll be doing the opening post later today.
Welcome to Rasier, everyone.
Bwahahahahaha!
Okies
BTW, everyone selected their background skills, right? You get two ranks per level to spend on background skills and the following skills qualify:
Appraise
Artistry (a new skill, covering creative works which aren't specifically about performance or building with hands, such as Artistry (painting))
Craft
Handle Animal
Knowledge (engineering)
Knowledge (geography)
Knowledge (history)
Knowledge (nobility)
Linguistics
Lore (a new skill, covering specific branches of knowledge. Lore (plants) for instance)
Perform
Profession
Sleight of Hand
Remember, a background skill is not a class skill unless it is on your class's skill list with two exceptions. Lore is considered a class skill for ALL classes, while Artistry is considered a class skill for any class which has Craft or Perform as a class skill.
*nods*
Ahh. I see. I choose Craft and Lore (Olympian Gods) as my two, seeing how both make the most sense to my Background spoiler.
Okay! Opening pose has begun! Here's some stuff to be aware of.
The game starts under the assumption that you are in Raseir (one of two cities in the Sultanate of Shapeir) and that you have signed in with the local Adventurer's Guild. Likely you have already completed a few tasks (maybe killed a few bandits in the desert, maybe collected some ingredients for the local apothecary, maybe found someone's lost pet. Small stuff like that.). How long you've been around is up to you but probably only long enough to make your presence known.
I'll get this out of the way first. I'm a professional game developer (in that people pay me to write, develop, edit, and so forth RPG products). A lot of my work has been for Pathfinder compatible products. That being said, I am not an encyclopedia. I don't have all the rules memorize (I do a lot of looking stuff up as a I write) and I prefer not digging into the finer points for RP. I play things loose and happy. To me, this isn't about "do the players achieve their goal" but the story involved in achieving it (or not on rare occasion). So, hopefully we won't spend too much time getting bogged down in rulings.
Hektor, how old you (in game)?
I hadn't written in, but I figured original conscription would take place about 16-18, and he spent at least 10 years in the service, so mid-to-late 20's, at the minimum
Sorry, my wife was sick last night. Will post soon
What is wrong with my tagline. I don't see it!
And what does NL mean in the tagline?
Your AC on the tagline doesn't match the AC on the sheet.

Done.
Thanks, Jenrick. I appreciate it.
I'm thinking NL is for tracking any non-lethal damage you might currently have.
Almost as one, Hektor and Felitcia strike. The giant (giant!) scorpion staggers once and falls to the sand. Its tail twitches and then it, too, falls. The party has ended the life of the monster which threatened the caravans of Shapeir, although Marche still has the poison coarsing through her body.
Looking up at the sky as he pulls out his gladius from the monster's body, Jenrick shrugs his shoulders think, Hello? I'm here, too. I helped out, Mr. All-Powerful DM.

Pretty sure JGRAY just typed the wrong name there since Hektor missed on his attack this round.
I did mean Jenrick, yes. :) Sorry.

It's cool. :) It just so happen to correspond with Jenrick's flaw of Pride. Kind of beautiful, in a way.
Some points of order....
Hektor I don't think you changed your health last time I healed you. You should be at 23/25.
Everyones health...
Jenrick 29/32
Felitcia 28/28
Rhiastra 27/27
Hektor 23/25
Trathing 21/21
We should all be completely healed after a nights rest.
I don't think anyone can use the magic missile wand. Do we want to hang onto it?
There are five healing pills (each is the equivalent of a cure light wounds potion) should we all carry one?
120 dinars that would be 20 dinars each... I guess we have walking around money or do we want to pool our cash?
I like your suggestions. Hang onto the wand; it might lead to the mastermind's identity. Split the pills and dinars.
Thanks for the heads up on the HP. Fixed.
Hektor took 1 CLW pill, as to the money, it can become heavy, I don't know if we want to split it out now or haul it around in a big pile but I'm fine with either.
I can carry it until we need to split it. My carrying capacity way exceeds the rest of the party. If one of us casters trains UMD the wand could make a good ranged backup weapon.
Always.
Jenrick, always the chance to RP or always the skip ahead?

Anybody else feels like rp until JGray comes back?
JGray's been out of commission due to kid borne plague. Should be back to posting shortly.
Ah. Well, that's different. Hope the fam get well soon.
Sorry about that. It seems like these freaking rounds of colds get worse every year.
When they leave, could someone give Jenrick his payment, please?
Yes, back to the chemist. Jenrick still wishes to help Hektor turn in his giant stinger, among other things.
So how much does a saurus cost. All I got is a large orange gem.
About 150 dinars. You might want to cash in that gem at the money changer. :)
I left a PM for JGray. Hope he gets it.
Well. It has been a month since JGray's last posting, so I'm calling this campaign dead. It was awesome to play with you all.
JGray, on the off-chance you see this, if you wish to continue this campaign, please message me. Peace out.
Sorry, all. My fault for this. Winter just...
... was winter. You were fantastic players.
