The City of Sasserine is recovering from a century of oppressive rule. The thieves guilds have been destroyed and many unsavory elements eliminated. It is a place of opportunity for the prospective knave and a heroic battleground for the prospective knight.
(1) You are recruited by a desperate noble of the city of Sasserine, one Lavinia Vanderboren. After her parents recently perished in a freak accident, she inherited a large number of debts along with the rest of the estate. Yet her real problem is not financial, but personal.

Did Mal step into the room in front of Garntn to reach that zombie? If so, Garnstn will drop behind him next round so Mal can do a 5'shift and give Garnstn room to attack as well.

Yes, I like that idea, it's hard to portray that on the map.
Mal cuts a zombie down, Garnstn steps in and finishes off the last one.
Combat over
A young female pops out of the water. An exotic green tint to her skin is quite evident. The green parts of her skin seem to be fighting with a rotting, wasting disease.
"You have defeated my captors!! I am free of them!!
She walks on feet unused to land. A turtle surfaces near her.

The elf turns to Garn, "That was too damn close..."
Mal is shocked by the woman appearing out of the water, so much so that he acts instead of speaking. He quickly bends down to retrieve the portion from Kat's hip flask and pour it into Dain's mouth. "I gave you Kat's potion, I hope you have something for her and Mahath. We got more company".
Male Human Wizard 4 | HP 40 | AC:12 | FF:10 | T:12 | CMB:+2 | CMD:14 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+3 | Will:+6 | Init:+2 | Perc +2 | St:+2 |
Mahath rises slowly, taking in the changes to the room since he lost consciousness. Tremendous amounts of blood (some of it his own), fallen zombies and the new arrival. He looks to the woman for answers to Mal's questions.

You were held captive by the zombies? Or their leader? Dain gestures to the others. We were trappe dhere by a man named Vanthus and are trying to escape. Do you know of any exits other than a tunnel to the east?

Thanking Dain for his healing with a graceful bow Kat picks up all the items dropped when she fell unconcious, all the while listening to the discussion with the strange arrival.

Mahath waits as Kat is healing, pressing his hand over a particularly bad gash (he's trying not to think of it as a human bite). Blood still weeps thickly from several places on the battered wizard.
After the 7 points of healing, Mahath is at 2 of 8 hit points.

Mal clasps the dwarf on the shoulder, "I am better now. Let us confront this leader, perhaps he knows of Vanthus. I think it is clear that he is indeed a villain and not merely a fop spending good coin chasing women and wine".

"I also feel better now, not completely healed but better. Good for now. Let me take point." Shouldering her polearm and arming herself with scimitar and shield Kat moves to the next door.[Dice=Perc]1d20+8[7dice]
The maid swims easily in waist deep water. You manage to push your way to the west.
The sloshing sound comes from the churning waters of a sea cave. Fueled by what must be powerful submerged currents. the water laps and splashes against the walls of the twisting natural cavern that leads to the west. A sandy slope descends from the door down to the edge of the subterranean tide. Dozens of purple and red sea urchins glisten in shallow divots along the ground and lower walls here,their spines glittering with water.
You travel to a chamber with four more zombies, but your guide easily leads you past them to the north. Swimming is difficult at times, but the sea turtle quickly uses his big bulk to help stabilize anyone who has fallen. At times he quickly puts you back on your feet with a push of his head.
You arrive at barred door, and, despite the difficulty in getting leverage, once again the turtle helps you force the door to the chamber. Inside you find a note along with a dead body. The dead body has masterwork studded leather and a ring worth 100gp on its finger.
GM:3d20 ⇒ (2, 7, 7) = 16
Map updated, note attached to map.
Opening the door to the west of this chamber reveals a room with three chests and the pirate leader.
Garnstn swings around the corner rather than enter the room. His swing clips the hard corner of the wall as he tries to hit the flatfooted zombie. The blow is deflected enough to miss.
The pirate leader grabs what appears to be a dainty, white lace garment from his pack. "Tina and her turtle must have led you here. Stand down, or I rip this into pieces!!"
Tina the water maid seems agitated. "You are turning me into a zombie. So I may have little to lose."
The pirate leader laughs: "Well, I won't be fighting you and your turtle along with these other varmints then. You'll not be taking my treasure."
A single zombie steps into the doorway and prepares to grab Garnstn. He opens up his mouth to expose the huge teeth you are used to seeing.
Dain tells you the pirate leader is wearing a holy symbol of Olidammara, but the holy symbol is upside down.
Dain comments off-handedly about Olidammara:
Olidammara is the god of Music, Revels, Wine, Rogues, Humor, and Tricks. He is often called the Laughing Rogue.
Olidammara is one of the more eccentric gods of Oerth. The Laughing Rogue is often involved in good-natured schemes involving the other gods (less good-natured for the more evil deities), with repercussions that can make life difficult for his faithful. He has few proper priests, but is held in high regard in almost all non-evil regions of the Flanaess.
Dain also sees through the illusion on the pirate leader. He tells you he is a huecuva, resistant all weapons except those silvered or magical.
Dain comments about huecuvas:
Huecuvas are the risen corpses of heretical clerics who blasphemed and renounced their deities before meeting death. In unlife, they hate and seek to destroy those pious souls who keep their vows. Although easily mistaken for zombies or even skeletons, huecuvas have a spark of intelligence that makes them cunning and deceptive foes. During daylight hours, a huecuva becomes shrouded in an illusion that causes it to appear as it did in life—at these times, a huecuva might seek to infiltrate society to dwell among those it hates. When night falls, it emerges to seek out its prey. Fortunately for the living, the typical huecuva has only fragments of intellect remaining, so it is usually not long before the undead creature makes an error of judgment or simply reveals itself for the monster it is. This hecueva seems smart but not too formidable, except for his resistances.
Mahath deduces that Tina is a Nereid, a powerful sea fey. He read about her in an arcane tome. A nereid’s shawl contains a portion of her life force, and if it is destroyed, she will most likely die. A nereid would normally have great powers of seduction, but the zombie disease that has marred her beauty has reduced her power somewhat. Males (and some females) that gaze on a nereid typically come under their thrall.
"Not gonna happen. You show me and my entourage back to town, let me alone, and I'll send the frilly dress to you after I get settled in day or two. You crazy, I keep the water lady and her turtle from hurting me by keeping this thing."
You have found the note in the last room (4) and find yourselves on the threshold of the last room (5).
Tina the water spirit tells you: "In case I die, you can escape through the northern chambers. I will have Ike lead you back."
As the drama unfolds, you take stock of the room with the dead pirate Penkus.
The smell in this chamber is horrific, a cloying stink of rotten meat rising from the bloated, seeping body slumped in the middle of the floor. The corpse's dark, almost black flesh bulges against its armor,
ready to burst at the slightest touch. An intricate tattoo of a dragon clutching a flower is barely visible on his shoulder against the diseased flesh, and clutched in one hand was the crumpled scroll you discovered.
Tina quickly describes the way out as she knows it. "You will have to wait four hours for low tide to make it out without breathing water. A large pool of water sloshes in the western portion of the caves- this pool is twelve feet deep at its deepest point during high tide. A five-foot-wide tunnel leads north at the base of this pool; this submerged tunnel travels on a twisting course to the northwest for 70 feet before emerging from the sea bed in the harbor between Parrot Island and the gate that separates Shadowshore from the Cudgel district; from here, it's only a 20 foot swim to the surface and then a 50 foot swim to shore."

Mahath regards the undead creature maliciously and says "You can flee. If you drop the garment, you know we'll stop for it. If you try to destroy it, we'll be on you before you can finish the job, and my magic can restore it. We won't let you take it from here only to enslave her. So what will it be: drop it and flee, knowing we will let you go, or try and destroy it and know we will destroy you."
Male Moon Elf HP = 26/26, AC=, F+3 | R+6 | W+3 (+5 vs. Enchantment Spells) , Per +9, Ini. +9
Mal speaks to the undead thing, "You give us the white lace garment and we will bring Vanthus back here to you! How does that sound for a fair bargain?"
Before there was Shackled Skulls, some of the best writers at Dungeon magazine put an AP in Dungeon magazine. It involved some pirate ships and, eventually, a trip to defeat Demogorgon, one of the ultimate bada$$e$ in D&D history.
The City of Sasserine is recovering from a century of oppressive rule. The thieves guilds have been destroyed and many unsavory elements eliminated. It is a place of opportunity for the prospective knave and a heroic battleground for the prospective knight.
I am recruiting a tight group (four -- maybe 5 PCs) to defeat the evil threatening the world.
Since the group will be small, players will be starting with 25pt builds and maximum wealth. No materials outside the Core Rulebook will be use to create characters (this includes archetypes and traits). No characters will be evil. Lawful good may be a difficult, you would have to be a flexible lawful good to succeed.
The players guide may be a $1 download. It will help, but not be essential, to make a good character.
The intent is to make this a long term campaign with characters progressing from Level 1 to Level 20. The AP comes in twelve installments. This will be a marathon and not a sprint.
Recruiting will close December 13 game will start January 2 with sufficient interest.
I'd be crazy not to at least try for something fantastic and good like this! =D
I've had experience in the Wold, so I've no problem with Core. But, odd question: Do you also restrict equipment outside of Core? I'm just asking because neat things like bandoliers and the masterwork backpack and wandermeal are in Ultimate Equipment.
I've been waiting years for someone to run this for me. I wanted to play it instead of DM it and so, as each month of Dungeon came in the mail I had to avoid 1/3 of the issue -- you can imagine how painful that was when WotC announced they were cancelling the mags. The last issues were coming in the mail and I couldn't even read them cover-to-cover.
I am REALLY stoked for this! I'll be making a Paladin for proposal.
Can we take the "District Feats" from the Player's Guide? (I haven't fully read it yet, so I don't know necessarily if I'd actually be interested in any of them.)
I am also interested, and will probably submit either a wizard or a bard.
Hello all! I'm a big fan of the Dungeon APs. I'm interested in submitting Isadriewen, a half-elven sorcerer (arcane blood-line). Her profile needs a bit of work.
We will be using Greyhawk deities using the link above. As we are using CRB, that means no archetypes or traits and all equipment, spells or races not listed in the CRB will be available. If you are using the online reference documents, CRB denotes Core Rulebook content.
As we will not be using traits, a district feat will be available to everyone.

So, I am a bit confused, are we using CRB only for everything?
^ Phrased a bit oddly, but I'm pretty sure he meant that if it doesn't come from the CRB, then it's out, whether it's equipment, feats, races, etc. So...no archetypes, core classes and races only, no traits, etc.

History:Dain grew up in Sasserine with the misfortune to be inept at the forge and thus unable to take his place in the
business with his father and brothers. Normally, this would end up heaps of scorn inflicted upon him but his father new Dain
had an aptitude with clerical matters and had him sent to the temple of Kord for his acolyte training and thus Dain found his calling.
Dain has taken to supporting himself with bodyguard work, his keen eye and senses turning out to be quite valuable on the
streets of Sasserine.

What about animal companions for druids? The core rule book has a list, but it states that the list is not exhaustive, and references the bestiary. Are you limiting choices to only those in the list, or only those in the list and from the first bestiary, or some other choice?
Attikus is a member of the Scarlet Brotherhood, sent to Sasserine as an infiltrator to keep an eye on things. He is a member of the Farseekers faction, and much more interested in gathering information instead of conquest... or at least before conquest.
Attikus is very fair skinned, with very light orange hair that he keeps shaved close. He has light blue almost white eyes, and keeps himself covered in loose fitting, mostly red robes when he is exposed to the sun. All visible areas of his skin are covered in tatoo's many serpent themed. His ears, nose, and lip are pierced with brass jewelry, and his tongue has been slit at the end like a snakes. He keeps quiet, and many find his unwavering gaze unsettling. Still he is a skilled sailor, and has no trouble finding work. He is often referred to on the docks as "White snake".
Love the hard-core, all-core, Greyhawk. Would be the closest thing to playing 2e that I've done in ages.
Classic half-orc thug rogue here.
Description:
A few layers of ratty clothes and the old, worn hat would be enough to make you wonder if this hulking beast of a half-orc was a beggar. But seeing the solid, sinewy bulk on him, its clear that he’s too well fed for that. Also, he doesn’t stink. And there is nothing about him that has that cowering, beggar-feel to it. He doesn’t slouch, that’s a crouch… intentionally balanced that way, like a coiled spring. Still, with that nasty red scar down his left cheek leaving the eye cloudy white on that side makes it a bit hard to look at him. Its all twice as nasty with his green orc-skin. You notice he keeps his head cocked to the right a bit, either he’s trying to hide the bad eye a bit or looking for a better field of vision with his one good eye. As he turns, you two hilts, almost big enough for swords but each is gripped like a big knife hanging from under his thready coat, the look set to grab quick and inconspicous. Definitely not a beggar. Definitely something more dangerous.
Background:
Garnstn did’nt know why he was called Garnstn. Just what they always called him in the Crew. White-eye, he knew why they called him that… it was what most who knew him called him around Shadowshore. The guard who kicked him in the face enough times to break his eye for no good reason than he was in the way. Iron-shod boots tore him up good, red scars, torn lip and all. The Crew took care of him then, got him healthy enough to earn again. He was little enough back then that sneaking was the main thing he did, snatch-and-grabs, break-ins. He was good at that as the dark didn’t bother him. Even now, big as he was, he could move quiet and quick enough to do a second-story job. He liked those old jobs. Kord knew the folks in those fancy houses could afford what they snuck out, probably barely even missed it. And it brought food for the Crew, food for the kids and that was worth it. It was fun. F@*% those rich folk, anyhow, they should get better locks and keep an eye on their sh!t...
Now that he was big and just as quick as always, the jobs were different. Bloodier. He was good with the long knives he always wore behind him, and a White-Eyed-Stare often made it so things didn’t have to get bloody. But when they did get bloody, he had proved his new value to the Crew. The Shadowshore had been brutal to him since he was a pup, so he just gave some of the brutality back. There was a lot of brutality to go around the ‘Shore. The guard had been brutal to him for no reason – and at least Garnstn always had a reason to be brutal. He used to think that anyhow. He kept the crew safe. Kept the kids safe. But it was starting to get too bloody. The Crew was different under Redlif. The people they went after now were usually just in different Crews. Different but the same – just trying get by in the Shadowshore… and that meant they were hungry and tired. Not like the old second-story jobs. The people they took from lately would miss it… would miss it dearly. Especially since they took it brutal now, most always brutal now. And you can’t be brutal to the rich folk. The guard comes then. So you’re brutal to those who the guards won’t help.
Garnstn looked down at his bruised and cut knuckles. He picked out a bit of white from one cut. A bit of tooth. That kid would never talk right again. Never eat right again. Just like Garnstn would never see right again. The kid had just been hungry, swiping a bit to eat. But he did it in the Crew’s streets. And Redlif wanted Garnstn to make a lesson outta the kid. Maybe like that guard with the iron-shod boots wanted to make a lesson outta Garnstn once upon a time. Then Redlif told Garnstn to use the Big Axe on the kid. Reflif wanted to make real a lesson of the kid. Slice and dice. But the kid was already done, broken teeth and bleeding out. More than brutal, that. Even for the ‘Shore.
So Garnstn stopped and walked away. Redlif called out, cursed, swore at him. Garnstn kept walking. That was that. No more. He was getting old for the crew now anyhow. Older than anyone but Redlif. The kids could start doing second story jobs now, get enough to eat… to get by. Maybe Garnstn could sneak back and help them out from time to time when Redlif wasn’t around. Maybe. Garnstn stopped back at the Fort. Said goodbye to the kids one last time. Grabbed his gear, his best best picks, and his coin-stash. Left a few silvers and coppers for the kids. Redlif would be pissed. Best the kids have a little to tide them by.
Time for something different, something new. He could be still be brutal when needed, but Garnstn would decide for himself when to be brutal now. He walked out of the ‘Shore looking for the next thing. Hopefully a better thing. Kord knew it would be hard to find worse. Maybe back to second-story jobs… or at least being sure that if he was going to be brutal there was a reason for it.
Personality:
Gruff, mean, difficult, and sometimes brutal. Garnstn White-Eye made sure people knew that was what he was like, always made things easier when people saw what they wanted. Loyal, kind, caring. Only a few knew all the things that he keeps in his core. The ratty clothes are good to keep people from seeing the mail shirt and long knives hiding beneath. The gruff, mean, difficult, and sometimes brutal are good for keeping people from seeing the loyal, kind, and caring beneath. People see those things, they might try to take advantage. But Garnstn was the one who took advantage now, if an advantage needed to be taken. Though if someone really needed help… deserved help, well things could get brutal for the right reason.

Jerrick grew up in the slums of Shadowshore. His father an injured miner unable to work and mother too weak from desease to work. Jerrick learned to steal early and grew up as a pick pocket stealing enough to to feed his family. After they passed, Jerrick continued to scrape by, somehow barely avoiding the grip of the guard or any of the newly formed small thieves guilds that have begun to take root.
Jerrick is plain, but he knows how to throw a smile when the need suits him. He prefers to work alone and unseen, but those who have spent time with him say he gas a morbid whit which contrasts with his optimistic approach to jobs.
He has brown hair and blue eyes, stands just under 6 feet, and wears well worn leathers. He keeps a number of different colored scarves to hide his face should the need arise.

Hey GM, how extensive of a background do you prefer from your applicants; are you the kind of person who wants a three to five sentence blurb or would you like a novella?
Here's a gnome druid if you like. the important stuff's all finished, and the extra's will be done well within time.
background:
D'veetch was known around the docks as, if not one of the best shipboard cooks around, at least one of the most creative. That can mean quite a lot to a bored crew toward the end of a voyage when stocks are running low and variety is worth its metaphorical weight in gold. That was just fine with D'veetch as it made him a popular commodity and that kept him working which in turn kept him riding the salt. He loved the ocean, the ceaseless motion, the unending expanse and the animals which grew more and more bizarre the further from shore he was, and each had such stories to tell.
It's true that not every voyage revealed some oceanic wonder or mystery to him, in fact some voyages were just plain boring no matter what, but it's at those times it's still always at least interesting to speculate about how long it will take that one sailor who inexplicably finds himself tasting horse piss at five minutes past midday every day to go mad.

I would be interested in trying a paladin in this adventure path. I noted what you said about LG being a hard alignment here, and was thinking of aiming for a character who hovers right on the LG to NG border. Also, I'm hoping that you'll allow an alternate paladin code, perhaps one that emphasizes teamwork and second chances over the law of man. In other words, I want the 'lawful' to refer to a divine law or set of principles, rather than the local human laws.
Also, are paladins in this setting/in your game supposed to choose specific deities, or just general principles?
All elves use the same template. Maps will be using google docs, first combat map appears at top of page as all combat maps will. Players will move their icons by cutting and pasting their avatar to the map. Campaign Tab has begun.
Bad guys will be on, at most, two initiative numbers to make combat easier. Bolded text by your name will indicate you have an action due.
Backgrounds should be detailed but not too long.
Daily posting is expected. And, players will be expected to track their own resources such as wand charges and potions. I am hoping players will track their own treasure found.
Party will have a standard procedure for moving around so I can move the party from encounter to encounter.

Paladins will serve a diety and are expected to uphold the laws of the land. As paragons of their faith, they are expected to avoid deviation toward neutral good. Deceit and trickery are not part of the paladin code, and would be options a party with a paladin will not have. Lawful neutral characters are expected to uphold the laws of the land too.
Honestly, I would be intrigued to see how Garnstn might interact with a Paldin. I don't think he would even understand the concept of telling the truth because you're supposed to. Nor the idea of obeying the rules when no one is looking. I don't know if it would ever come to blows, but I don't know that Garnstn would ever act the way the Paladin would expect. He would likely just be really confused.

I think my idea of paladin and yours are different enough we would clash and not have a very good time, so I think I will make a ranger instead. I'll start work on the character tomorrow.
I've been considering a ranged focused ranger, possibly going arcane archer, but I was wondering about how crafting, or the access to purchase magic weapons, would work. It seems to me if I could get my hands on a decent bow, going full ranger would be best, but if not, the abilities of the arcane archer could be useful. Will we be limited to items the AP has to offer or ones we can craft, or will we be able to pay an NPC to craft something?
Here's the submission for markofbane. Mahath Kishion is a human wizard (evoker). His background and stats are in his profile, and I've copied his background here as well for your convenience.
Background:
Mahath’s time in Sasserine is approaching a decade, and it is troubling him greatly. When he came here in his youth, he was excited for adventure. This city, on the edge of the mysterious wild, seemed the perfect place to find power, wealth and (most of all) adventure. As a lowly apprentice and scribe in distant Greyhawk, he read stories of great men, powerful and daring, that defeated evils, founded great nations or rose to great levels of power and wealth. To follow that urge for something more in his dull life, as soon as he was old enough, Mahath made for distant lands. He worked his way as he went, until he reached Sasserine.
Once in the city, however, he did not find the adventure he craved. He settled in the merchant’s quarter and sold his modest arcane abilities and lore to make a living. In the mornings and evenings, he would wonder the city looking for the unknown that would draw him onto an exciting path, but nothing seemed to materialize. As days turned into years, he never forgot his desire for adventure and a place in the history books, but he started to wonder if such opportunity would present itself.
Each day as he leaves his small, tidy room at the inn, he looks at the backpack there, which is ready to grab at a moment’s notice. He has long since stopped carrying it with him each day, though he makes sure to put in fresh food, water and spell components periodically. He refuses to give up on his dreams, but leaves the pack because he’s sure today won’t be the day ‘it’ happens.
