Hazzah! At last, a druid submission is accepted!
Druids rock. Also full caster is useful.
Indeed. Here's Aiona. Everything should be OK, although I still have to insert Voyla in Aiona's background. For the moment I think I'll keep it rather simple: although not being from the same part of Lastwall Aiona and Voyla knew each other since training. In recent years they developed an healthy rivalry between them, although Aiona considers Voyla a bit of a show off, while Aiona, while in action is absolutely serious, to the point some of the other crusaders have started calling her "the ice queen", for the percieved lack of emotional response she shows during missions.
Thanks for accepting me Malleus.
Looking forward to playing a half orc with a vengeance.
Checking in! I got Lucas some armor, but haven't bothered with the rest of his things quite yet. XD Should we worry about things like food and camping supplies, or focus our gear onto more, uh, combat-relevant types of things?
Voyla Tilernos reporting for duty!
I am glad to see you all here!
About her Natural-Born Leader trait, is it ok?
Also, Aiona Saner has it right. Voyla is privilege and family tradition, and now she is impacted / envious on how a "normal person" like Aiona can be as good as paladin as herself.
DM Malleus, would you prefer we already know each other upon starting or do you have plans on how to introduce everyone to one another?

Looks good, but keep in mind Aiona isn't really a normal person either, considering her mother and father were both paladins. Her mother is a quite important and fearsome officer at castle Everstand and one high enough inside the chain of command (and since she's quite the b!#%$ -think more lawful than good - that impacted pretty heavily on Aiona's strict training and no-nonsense attitude while on mission)
That is the spirit!
For Voyla Aiona is "normal", a "common folk"... And Aiona hates that! She has as much "right" to be a paladin as Voyla, and Voyla sees her as a "lucky amateur".
You can see what the "conflict" arises there ;)
Meanwhile, Lucas is off to the side throwing enemies into each other (or will be in a few more levels - I want to try and make that the focus of his build), feeling vaguely insulted that someone thinks it takes a good pedigree to be a good person. XD He, uh, isn't terribly fond of self-centered nobles, since they ripped him away from his family, dragged him out to serve in the military, and then blamed him when they didn't get everything the wanted.
Well, Voyla doesn't think it is required. She thinks it is an exception.
Good, evil, noble, or commoner we all will bleed at the mercies of the orcs.
Welcome everyone! As far as knowing each other, I will leave that up to you all as to whether or not you are familiar. We will all be starting in Vigil together when you get sorted into a skirmisher/scout unit.
For gear... The traditional use all your money for better weapons and armor, while fine, isn't that flavorful.
I think that Paladins generally would only upgrade their personal fighting ability, but I often make characters that have tripwire, hatchets, shovels and other things for guerilla and trap based warfare. So if anyone feels that buying the 10gp worth of stuff it would take to make a pitfall trap is something your character would do, I will make use of it if you do.
For Voyla the "flavorful" items are:
For Voyla the "flavorful" items are:
A complex Banner, with the Tilernos family insignia.
Her Tattooed Holy Symbol in her hand palm.
Spring Loaded Wrist Sheath with a Silver Dagger.
Shield Sconce for carrying her everburning torch on her shield.
A Signal Horn for heroic chavalry charges
ORC FLAVOR!
A target for archersA trophy to wear as a necklace
A shiny weapon to fight over
Shield with spot for mounting skulls
The thing that gave the group away.
lol Just kidding,
I like the list and if you can buy that stuff go ahead if you want.
Already did! :D
Aiona also buys:
-3 Sunrods (6 gp, 3 lbs)
-1 Tanglefoot bag (50 gp, 4 lbs)
-1 Thunderstone (30 gp, 1 lbs)
And I think it better for her to change her armor to +1 full plate armor.
Aiona had 1086 gp left, now she's BROKE!!! :P
If you really want to start the adventure with some tension in, make Aiona the Leader... Voyla, as a Paladin, would have to accept it, but she won't have to like it! :D
And I guess she could use the humility lesson.

Im seeing Alduin as a very roguish type of druid. I'd love to experiment with trap craft in the wilderness like pit falls and trip wires so Ill definitely be purchasing a host of tools and such. Would that be survival or a separate craft skill check when setting that stuff up; I've never done anything like that.
Alduin 's bonds with the others, as long as no one opposes, will be vague sentences that can be fleshed out through any role play opportunities. And those bonds are:
*Voyla smells more like prey than a hunter. (just Alduin's opinion, but he thinks Voyla tends to bite off more than she can chew. No actual offense or bearing of Voyla)
*The spirits spoke to me of a great danger that follows Lucas. (The Dead One spoke of prophecy of someone like Lucas.)
*I have showed Aiona a secret rite of the Land. (Call it the Rite of Kindling. Alduin and Aiona have battled side by side near Belzeken's Border during a daring rescue of some knights)
*Urgtahn has tasted my blood and I his. We are bound by it. (Another rite in way, Alduin treats Urgtahn as a brother after they skirmished against a formidable opponent together. It might or might not make sense to Urgtahn, but after the way things went down, Alduin chooses to treat him as his own flesh and blood.)
*Clarius is a friend of nature, so I will be his friend as well (self explanatory, Clarius gets the benefit of the doubt)
I'm thinking that Urgtahn would be a bit of an outsider among the ranks of most of the people stationed in Vigil, though his knowledge of orcish tribes and areas within the Hold has made him valuable in scouting missions and intelligence gathering.
I don't know how well he would known by most members of the party, but he might have been on missions with any of them previously.
I am definitely ok with a bond of battle Alduin. With battle being a big thing for him, he would definitely understand the bond of brothers in battle.

Glad you approve! :)
DM Malleus, looks like I may need a mount. What mounts are available?
Lucas is the sort of person who prefers to focus on deeds instead of words. Those who keep going when things are tough, pull their weight, and are more concerned with success than appearances are the types of people he prefers to be around. Given the showiness of Taldor, he generally avoids judging by appearance, since he doesn't trust it. XD

Oh, you bring up a good point. Is there anyone else besides Lucas and Clarius from Taldor?
@Alduin - I don't know that our two characters know each other, but I do not doubt that we would all know of each other. Clarius has been mostly riding courier and scouting missions on his own. He seems to have maintained a polite distance from others.

Another loner then? Alduin's bond with Clarius will be created based on first impressions then.
I'm ok with Aiona leading the group and with hr having been assigned with Alduin in the past. She might not know the others besides Voyla but she's the kind of leader who would want to have a compete briefing about her men capabilities before leading them in battle.
Mounts available right now would be mostly Combat trained Heavy and Light Horses. There may be some exotic mounts available later in the game, as Belkzan is home to primordial beasts.
Voyla bought hers.

Alright, Ill pick up a horse and a pair of dogs
Well, looks like I'm going to need a horse too.
I'll fix it up on the profile.
Do we need to pay for the horse or is it "included" with the mission "package"? :P
So? What do we do now?
Well, I'm ready to start, I think. ^^
I'm also good to start
Ready for duty!
Let's purge this anathema from our lands!
Sweet, was up at the cabin this weekend, no internet. First post is up!
Yay!
Incidentally, should we actually track supplies like food/camping gear, or not worry about it? (GMs have so many styles for this - if I need to grab more food and stuff, I'd like to do that now. XD)
Pmed you Malleus.
I like to fluff getting it and having it. Just mention eating once in a while so that it doesn't seem like you're all just subsisting on nothing.
Don't bother tracking weight of food and that kind of thing. But making use of mundane items is something I enjoy.
I need to do a couple announcements.

I will be out this weekend at a great place so I won't be able to post much (or at all). I will be back on Sunday night. Please bot me if needed.

I participate in a "Gaming Community" I learned of on the Paizo Forums, and they are recruiting. So if you are interested, I recommend them fully. Here is their Recruitment post:
Greetings Gamers!
Woldiangames.com is excited to announce that we are starting a new ongoing game in our campaign world/gaming community! It is called Lakeview Passage. This game will take place in The Floating City, a 6 level city that floats in Turtle Lake. Surrounded by one of the seven magical forests, The Crying Woods, it is the epitome civilization surrounded by its polar opposite: a forest that hates all animal life and signs of civilization. The Big Float has been suffering lately with various difficulties in importing all the necessities of life for 70,000 citizens. Can an adventuring group from Lakeview Passage of the Fence Level make a difference for their neighborhood and even the city at large? Only time and adventure will tell.

The Wold is here to stay! We are not one of those games or sites that will disappear just as you are getting interested in the game and your character. So if you’ve been looking for that quality game that does not go away, we’re your site!
The Wold is a Fantasy Campaign World [using the Pathfinder gamesystem], that originated in the early 1980's. It went online in 1997 and it has evolved into a very large website with several hundred pages of campaign information.
We currently offer 8 permanent ongoing games and many other pickup games for those members who want more. Play by post occurs on our self-made java programmed message boards with their own dice mechanisms, and auto-archiving features. We offer a Message Board called The Giggling Ghost where our gamers can chat "in character" and head out for various “pick-up” adventurers. There is also a private board that allows the players to talk and discuss just about anything in an "out of character format." These boards helps us create that all important sense of community and friendship which is a part of any good group of gamers. Also added is a board called The Catacombs where all character shopping occurs and The Black Genie Center where all Woldians may go to help develop new original material for our campaign world.

Hope to see you there!
WHo knows?
Sorry guys, I was in the hospital last Thursday with a kidney stone. It's been a rough couple of days.
A Kidney Stone? A weird choice of friends you have!
Just joking!
Hope you are feeling better, and can return to GM'ing soon.
Take care!
