Proficient Bookkeeper, Broker, and Manager at your service!

I think my archetype makes me a bit more combat focused, though I do still have basic healing spells. I'll be more focused on buffing out equipment and dealing out the two-handed hurts.

Hmmm...Means there's a very real chance Dolgrin and I will both get picked to cover the roles...gonna get dangerous up in this party!

Here shall be Isoldda's twin brother, I've still got to find an avatar image, and build the character and all of that : P

But just posting as a place holder for the list. He'll be monk of the sacred mountain/master of many styles

thanks!

Here is Rockjaw The Relentless, also known as The Unstoppable, The Ever-Moving or "Rockface" by his more 'endearing' friends (that's what you get when you use your head as a weapon :P)
True to his namesake he is headstrong, brash and always moving forward.
He is an armoured hulk barbarian built like a tank, and runs through foes like one :) Wearing heavy armor and a shield (everything made of stone oc) and a nice stone warhammer he is covered from head to foot in rock and moves like a boulder :)

I do have a question, would it be alright to take the bred for war trait despite not being 6' tall? There are other ways of being intimidating and imposing despite your size :)

Finally, I imagine we will all be tough nuts to crack ^-^ heavy armor everywhere, steel souls making us very resilent and racial bonuses to con and wis making us all near invulnerable 8D

I'm going to decline on the trait modification since it's specifically a human race trait. I think there's a few others out there that do similar effects, however, so you should still be able to find a good match. :)

Hmm I wonder how much a Rust Monster pet will cost.. :3

You know you just gave him the idea, right? Wild rust monsters running through our fortress.

"Where's the bloody wizards when ye need 'em?!"

Rust monsters? let em chew through hammers made of stone. Bet they're real tasty crunching down through the skull.

Ordrud's avatar. Construction of game mechanics in progress. Concept as PMed.

cheers

Summon Rust Monster Swarm.

Do those Iron Golems seem a little out of practice to you? 'Cause to me, they seem a bit. . . *puts on shades* rusty.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA—

Ohhh, the party dynamics...This is going to be a loooooong expedition...

I'm writing up my character as we speak! ... I can't wait to get there. xD

There are definitely a lot of great submissions and interplay developing. I like the way things are shaping up.

Oh, and Kagehiro: I hate you. That is all. lol

Lets see those rust monsters do anything at all against my rock armor, my rock warhammer or even my Rockface! Ha! Eat that rustmonster. Or, you know, I could eat that...

I was planing on taking the adopted trait to gain access to the bred for war trait, but thats fine. Sadly it is the only trait that gives you a boost to your CMB, thats why I wanted it, but it would be hard to work into the story, being adopted by humans and raised by beasts... So I will look for something else :)

Names Shimon, Shimon the Digger.

I am loving this so far, I know no-one has been selected yet. But this is just so fun, I never want it to end. Although spending eternity in the hall honouring the life of 1 man might get a bit boring after a while :P

I especially love the interacting among the characters.

Rob, I had been hoping to come from Janderhoff originally but moved somewhere else before it went quiet. Would that be possible if so, or if not any idea's where I could be from? Somewhere that gets a lot of Orc and Goblin invasion threats? I was thinking the Mindspin Mountains as that is where my Regional trait is from.

Ok now I really want to eat a rust monster...
If I get selected and one appears, the first thing I am going to do is eat it, consequences be damned XD

"Where's the bloody wizards when ye need 'em?!"

Rust monsters won't scare me at all. I use obsidian daggers. :D

Rob, before I submit my next post, I want to make sure I've got your okay on my backstory...

Majority of crunch is in the avatar. I haven't settled on a first level feat or gear. Appearance, Background & Personality is anemically thin but will be fleshed out when I return from vacation on Thursday.

The concept is as per last PM: younger brother of Vigar Skuldafn and much weaker character whose ambition far exceeds his charisma to lead. Sort of Prince John or Richard III in many fictional accounts.

I'm the last to bed and pushing my luck.

cheers

Ok, generating a random background for Rogath Silvertarn, dwarven cleric of Cayden Callean:

Well, that was interesting. Not sure whether or not I like the result, but interesting.

Considering that you are a worshiper of Cayden, its not surprising that your crime was pranking the local monsters, and jelousy? It was for love ;)

Geez this thread is like wildfire. Can't hardly type out my post without having to refresh to see who finished before me and retcon, lol.

And how! Though it's refreshing to see 10+ gameplay updates after spending many hours elsewhere. Entertainment abounds.

Apparently a Dwarf Fortress themed campaign is a popular idea! :D

Apparently Dwarves are a popular race that more people wanted an opportunity to play.

Geez this thread is like wildfire. Can't hardly type out my post without having to refresh to see who finished before me and retcon, lol.

Yep, I know that feeling.

I'm all for dwarf anything. Dwarf parties? Yes. Dwarf ice cream? Of course! Dwarves riding ostriches in a macaroni pride parade through downtown Absalom? . . . heaven.

I thought about buying a Cave Camel from Wayfinder #9.. So how about a Dwarven Doctor riding a Cave Camel aboard a ship headed to an uncharted continent?

I demand you devise and harness a lemming cannon to the camel's second cave hump. This demands an ample supply of lemmings, of course, but we'll knit them all little red shirts before we send them off. And name them all Lucky.

Cave Camels only have one hump.. but they have the hide of a rhino and their spit is acidic.

Not to mention their digestive enzymes can neutralize poison.

Dotting. I would love to join this campaign if there is still room. I don't have time to read through this topic tonight, but will start catching up tomorrow. I don't have a strong character concept yet, so I will see what the party needs.

Actually if I manage to make it onto the ship at all I expect the first thing I am going to do is keep n walking untill I crash right through the rails on the other side :P
Then sink like a stone ^___^ Ba-dum-bum!!! I imagine that there will be plenty of people to rescue me :) its not like I am swiming anywhere with my 11ACP... if only I could create a stone tower shield... I would be in heaven :)

Up next I am going to do character background generation, with lots of picking and choosing ^-^

I'm kind of sad we have no one making this guy.

Also, Dr. Logem and two of his nurses as seen here, will be here to help you all in case Rob throws this at us.

Cheers! :P

Oh if I could wield a cannon (I would have to be large and be able to carry a mountian... those things weigh 4000lb) I would do it in a heartbeat :D
We do have 2 gun users however, a gun tank and a spellslinger. I will also have a gun for backup if I can afford it...

Maven might end up learning gunsmithing along the way, if only for the sake of being a consummate crafter through and through, but time will tell.

And that link...yeah. Great fortitude please. Bear's endurance coming up.

aye, if i cud wield a cannon, you know i would.

So just me creating a background :)
For those of you who think this is intresting (like myself) read ahead XD

Ah, finally started on my character. Things were just crazy around here, but hopefully I'll be able to join the gameplay tonight.

Wow! I go to sleep and then go straight to work and at work I decide to check on this with my phone ... 26 new posts!!!

Good thing I can use my phone here and that no-one was waiting for me to reply to them. I just hope that Rob can keep up with all the posts.

Starting to think we may have blitzed him a bit already, heh.

It's always terrifying when I go to bed and wake up to a post tsunami, but also awesome.

Answering a couple questions before I get to the office, I'll have more opportunity to review bigger questions once there.

Angrin your background is great, nothing I see is problematic at all! Post away :)

Grima, liking the gunslinger/inquisitor mechanics, nice combo.

Logem, the poison from Wayfinder you wanted is acceptable.

Maven and Hyrin are twins! This is why my alias has no picture. Because there are like 7 female dwarves to choose from, and six of them are ugly.
