--------------------
Greysov was unsure how long he had been a prisoner of the Calikang. He lost track after the first few weeks the torture went on. Greysov wasn't even a practictioner of magic he had joined a caravan on the way to Alkenstar City to try to become a Shield Marshal. That did not happen the caravan was ambushed by Calikang and that is when the Torture began.

One day a vision came of a land of wild magic, a place of mutations and violence. In the middle of this strange land was a man dressed in black and white one side of his face was fair and handsome the other was black with viens of a strange energy flowing through him. The man waved the black hand towards the land around him and it cleansed by fire.

This vision gave Greysov a renewed strength to escape through spells and Knowledge of the destructive power of guns. Greysov used this knowledge to escape so he could continue on to Alkenstar and accomplish the Mission the God of Magic showed him. He will help bring stability to magic to this land. Greysov was found at the gates to Alkenstar with half his hair bleached white with a broken gun in one hand and a staff in the other. This began his life in Alkenstar.
_______________________________________________________

Victim of Calikang Torture You are one of the misfortunate spellcasters to be caught by a Calikang and brought to the spellscar desert to "heal" the magic. Performing magic in this extreme condition has permanitly sickened you, but has had its benefits. -1 con. +4 concentration checks. You can sense the chaotic magical nature of the Mana Wastes. You can predict magic storms and feel magic voids within 100'. By predicting the ebb and flow of this chaos you can produce magic and spell like abilities of your level or ability with a successful concentration check. A failed check means your spell fizzles.Scrolls, items and potions still have no effect.In magic voids you are still unable to cast, but as stated above you can detect these voids and try to avoid them. When casting during a magic storm, there is a 25% chance for a random magical mishap to occur.

Everything should be in the alias

Please follow this example. I can click on your picture if I need more info.

Miikae here and ready.

One Post to rule them all,
One Post to find them,
One Post to bring them all
and in the darkness bind them.

So far we have
Kera Reedun- Female Human Fighter
Zadok- Male Human Spellslinger
Greysov- Male Human Inquisitor
Mikkae- Female Human Druid
Pervince- Halfling Gunslinger/Mysterious Stranger

Waiting on a Human Buccaneer and an Undine Monk I think, possibly others as well. This will be a decent group I think for this campaign. Thanks for all your work you put into your characters.

I am going to go ahead and work on the Game Thread now. Once it is up Kera, Zadok, Greysov,Mikkae, and Pervince go ahead and post at will. Those of you who are still working on your characters do not panic, I will wait until weds to post my replies and offically start the game.

Muziel Moreau, Nidalese diplomat and Alchemist at your service.

here. almost done with crunch and story! ^_^

got the crunch done now just gotta get the gear and story put up .

Sorry I didn't notice the roll-call for this thread. I'm here and alive, was only tangentially browsing the recruitment thread until the 20th. Looks like it was a good idea to check in!

Ok so far we have
Kera Reedun- Female Human Fighter
Zadok- Male Human Spellslinger
Greysov- Male Human Inquisitor
Mikkae- Female Human Druid
Pervince- Halfling Gunslinger/Mysterious Stranger
Undine Monk(Name forgot cant go to other thread to find out without loosing my text, which Is why I hoped everyone would check in here)
Karrick-Human Rogue
Cpt Oliver- Human Buccaneer
Muziel-Human Alchemist

Thats 9. I will just go with all 9 of you in one group. This should help cover any losses from attrition.

Feel free to post at will here now. Pervince brought up a good question. How much do we know about each other?

I think the Deputy would have heard of the Cpt and Karrick since they are moderatly known criminals in the area

Muziel and Mikkae and the Undine may know eachother from her service as a guide to diplomats

Greysov and Pervince are probably at least familar with eachother by name if they are both gunslingers worth knowing in Alkenstar.

Other than that this is the first time you are all working together.

Hello, its the player of Urdahna Gansukh, the Undine Monk. Just reposting here to state my interest to continue playing with the group. Looking forward to the game and I'll start posting in the main game.

Thanks Urdahna. The way this is set up it is easier to have all of you in one thread, at least until you all post in the Game Thread, after that it autofils you in my character tab which is nice.

If everyone posts befor Weds I will post sooner in the Game thread I just want to give everyone the oppertunity in case they have not been following the thread and only waiting until the 20th, which is what I put out.

Great Posts so far, Just remember to do all of your rolls. I think Cpt Oliver is missing a perception and Kera has an unlabled roll(I assume its the perception check since thats the one I specificly asked for, but if not change it please.)

perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

I just noticed I made a minor mistake with two names. Morra is actually Hanna's Daughter. Hanna is the Duchess. Appologies for the confusion there I was looking at the wrong thing when I originally transcribed the recruitment portion. Morra will come up later in the campaign.

Cpt you posted with the wrong alias. You can correct this by clicking Edit and changing the Post As on the bottom to your Cpt alias.

Sorry my bad

For some odd reason it won't let me edit but the roll was for Knowledge Dungeoneering DC 15, which I failed.

If it was for that you actually made it. You rolled an 18 with a bonus of 2 total of 20.

You still did not give me a perception check, and niether did Karrick. I typed it in game tab and here so I will just assume you want your characters to be non-perceptive at this momment.

The second roll was for Perception. Sorry I didn't label it I'll be more careful going forward.

This is my first play by post...sorry.

That is fine. Just label them to limit confusion because I have a lot of posts to read. I will edit my last post to include you in the surprise round.

Same goes to you Karrick if you want to edit in a perception or add another post for it. DC is 18, if you make it just read the portion set aside to Kera, Miikaea and Zadok and consider yourself in the surprise round. I will post again later today.

Oh! I missed the call for a perception check at the bottom of the first post. I'll make a separate post for it.

Zadok-Even though I posted the Round 1 post to keep the flow going, I will still take any action you do in the surprise round into consideration before hand. I just wanted to get some of the initative lists done so I just have to copy paste later.

Urdahna- You can also do a perception for me and an initative ect. If you make the perception I will plug you into surprise round

Is there a map?

Also just an idea from a few other games I am also in.
I would be fine if to streamline things the DM rolls for obvious things such as initiative and saves where we dont have a choice but to roll.

DM
Tell me if what I did for round 1 was okay, if not I won't do it again.

Pervince
yeah...saw your post a little too late...

There is no map, as stated in the Recruitment thread this is theatre of the mind.

I have done initative rolls in the past, but in the end it does not matter because ultimatly that person needs to post,and I may not include in your initative some ability or what not that you would like to use. If you want to post your action for your round as you roll initative you may.

Ok I am finished posting in the game tab tonight to give others time to catch up. Still on Round 1 of combat.

Concentration for Guidance 1d20+7 4 for trait, 1 for CL, 2 for Wis mod. Is this correct?

Yes that is correct, thank you. ref pg 207 of the core for this. Base DC will be 10-12, any increase or decrease from that base you will know prior to any initative. Things that affect DCs include- Level of spell, activity while casting, combat, injuries ect.

To keep the Game tab clear of too many non-game posts I will address things like this here. I have enjoyed all your posts so far everyone, and just so you all know this is probably the most aggrevating part of the first mod.

I'm not sure you can take a 20 on a disable device check for a trap since it presumes you are rolling a 1 a 2 a 3 (etc) on your way to 20. Wouldn't that trigger the trap?

Agravating is fun. It tests the characters and puts them through their paces. It can't all be a breeze can it :)

Perhaps I should have prepared light instead... oh well.

Also Sands has the scent ability. Would that help us at all detecting things in the sewers much?

Hm, crap. Can I take 10? Not sure Muziel would have volunteered if he wasn't so sure he'd succeed, but we can chalk that up to cockiness.

Ahh true cockiness is rolling take the chance you can do it or if you set it off you still disable the trap so win win!! :)

Just to note I don't actual have craft firearms, so if anybody else wants to take a swing feel free...

I'm not sure you can take a 20 on a disable device check for a trap since it presumes you are rolling a 1 a 2 a 3 (etc) on your way to 20. Wouldn't that trigger the trap?

That is true, I missed that and just looked at the actual result. In the future I will inform you when you may take 20/10, though really if that is the case in PbP I will probably just give you the auto success or I might say something like- You may take 20, but you will need addtional help to be successful,guidance, aid ect

In this case since Miikae went through the trouble of a concentration check to cast guidance on you I will give it to you.

Miikae-Scent will be a very beneficial ability to have in this Mod.

Party Split after first encounter wooo!

So glad that happened. This should be fun, and allow the two groups to do things in different manners/interact.

Need posts from -Greysov and Urdahna

Great posts so far. Pervince has 12 shots of goodness that just might get you all out of that sewer minus only a few limbs.

Everythiing but the potion is fine. Any basic gear from the list on Pg 158-159 of the core if that will make it clearer, excluding animals and services of corse.

Those without guns in the group that I am aware of -Kera, Urdahna, You and Karrick.

Link for Group 2! Good luck Group 1. See you on the other side.

Thanks Pervince, what is the syntax for making a link like that I did not see it listed before.

Yikes good luck to the sewer group

Haven't heard from Greysov, Urdahna in two days.

Karrick in one day.

Sorry still here was at my local con, running PFS will read everything and catch up
