Sounds good to me; any general descrption of Grand Mind-Mage Gillwathal, race appearing as or gender? Perhaps the wizened but wise elderly type or somebody more physically fit and imposing?
He's a Edan human looking, age wise he looks around 50'sh, no body hair and green eyes. He seems to glow from the inside.

Thank you. Presuming that Elans, as a race, aren't known to many in Golarion (or Castrovel), would it be fair to think of them as being just a type of human?
They do try and blend in for the most part. Given that a percentage of standard humans are not kind to people who are different.
I also want to make sure that anybody who has player issues with my character speaks up. Taker is stubborn and cantankerous. I want to keep it as a quirky roleplaying thing, but if I go too far let me know and I'll scale it back.

I am about to go away on vacation but will try to keep up as we are just starting the game. Been looking forward to playing a Psion!
yes Shadow, we are just starting,

No worries Taker, shouldn't be much of an issue; Jamaardi and her should get along juuust fine (or maybe not as much)
I hope it isn't, but I've seen games die over character conflicts. that's why I like to head off problems early.

Fair enough; might as well extend my own invitation to everybody in this group; if they find something unpleasant about my own rp attempts in this game, please feel free to let me know and I'll do what I can to tone or change things around so that everyone will be satisfied with the changes done.

2000 gp get and thank you, Jonny. :)
Btw, how do you wish to handle our selling unwanted equipment back? Should we go with the usual buy something at full price and sell things back at half-price or should we handle it differently?
Will end up selling back the hide armor, possibly some other things.
Selling is at 75% of cost price

Good to hear, Jonny; not sure if it would be of any help, but maybe something along the lines of mediafire or a dropbox download? (assuming those aren't blocked either)

Jonny, just out of curiousity- would our current mounts, plus exotic riding saddle, bit and bridle, and maybe some other mount related stuff {went with riding gecko for the heck of it} be considered "free" {possibly, as in: lent by the Temple/to paid back if mount meets an unfortunate end}, or do you want that accounted for among our 2000 GP?

Nevermind, finally got my browser to put the ooc comments in a different color. :)
You got it with the 2000gp, they where not free, this was to limit the mounts you could have to none flying ones. Flying over the city would kind of spoile the game. :)
On a side note how you guys finding it so far, I want to give you all a chance to flex your PC and see what they can so.

Fun! Really enjoying playing a Psion again, its my favorite class after Cleric but they get a lot of hate so its pretty rare to play one. Thanks for the opportunity!
Will post in the Gameplay thread tomorrow, need to head to bed right now as I have an early day tomorrow.

Apologies about being so late in posting, some RL stuff's gotten in the way of things on my end; will post some rolls up for now but "fleshing" things out will have to wait for the moment.
Seems fun so far; this will be a first time with actual play as a psionic class for me, so it's been real neat thus far.
Guys I'm very sorry my mother has just been taken very ill and I'm half a world away, I'm placing the game on hold until RL is sorted.

Let's discuss the best way to pull this off and what dialogue I might want.
I think a stage over were we are located with slats to see the stage and the crowd so we can utilize our powers to best effect is a good idea. I can summon some Constructs and claim that they are winking out due to a psychic storm that only the Priests can help dispel if the entire city meditates as one. Keeping everyone peaceful and in order.
Maybe if someone objects we have one of you to use another power to knock that objector off, maybe even have a few plants in the crowd to make "lessons" of?

Sounds like a good plan to me. We could say something like us being sent here from far-away to verify the Patriarchy's authority. I might be able to hide among the crowd since Jamaardi's power-set seems more suited for direct action rather than a ranged power-type. At the very least, we can keep a lookout for that ambushing cult group; they'd want to "crash the party"- so to speak.

Jamaardi wrote: I'll try to see what I can dig up on Osirion's religion although Abadar, Nethys, Irori, Sarenrae, and Pharasma has had a sizable following. On the darker followings, Norgorber, Lamashtu, and Rovagug are well known. Some of the Egyptian Pantheon, such as Ra, Sekmet, and Osirus are also known of but not as widespread and limited to just Osirion only. As promised, here's what I found for the local gods...
Abadar is the main God of cities, civilization, capitalism, and banking. Has a vault full of perfect stuff that he keeps (or was it hoards?).
Nethys is the main God of Magic and magical knowledge. Was an Osirion Pharaoh in his mortal life before ascension and may or may not be totally sane. Is the God most likely to cause a magical cataclysm just to see what happens next. His avatar looks like one of those two extinct ST:TOS dual-colored dudes that were bigoted against one another, only with more evidence of injury.
Irori is the God of Self-Perfection, Knowledge, and Monks. Formerly a Vudrani Human in life who was said to had self-ascended to godhood all by himself.
Sarenrae is the Goddess of the Sun, forgiveness, and scimitar-usage. Was an ascended Angel who was said to have beaten down Rovagug into his prison. Looks like a cross between DC's Firehawk and Marvel's Guardian 3000 Nikki, plus a sweet nose-ring.
Pharasma is the Goddess of Death, Birth, Judging the dead, and Prophecy (currently broken thanks to Aroden). Likes to judge and dislikes it when anyone cuts in line to avoid her judgement. Hates the Undead as well. Looks sort of like Lady Death if she went for the more dignified, restrained, and conservative look.
Norgorber is the Evil God of Murder, Secrets, and Poison. Was one of the few former mortal to take the Test of the Starstone in order to gain godhood.
Lamashtu is the Evil Goddess of monsters, hostile animals, and deformed birth. As a former Demon Queen before her ascension by murdering Curchanus, she's popular with Gnolls, Barghests, and other humanoids. Has a Jackal head with 3 eyes and is always "preggers".
Rovagug is the imprisoned God of total destruction and Tarrasques. Is considered an Endbringer along the likes of Tharizdun, Galactus, and Unicron. Killed him plenty of deities when he ran loose. Asmodeus has the keys to his prison. Really dislikes Sarenrae too, for some odd reason.
There were some lesser known Osirion deities, such as Anubis and Thoth. About 20 in all, mostly relegated as a lesser-known Pantheon in Osirion.
Cool thanks that helps me a load, Ok so lets get on with the show
