Looking for one or two "treasure hunters" to join the campaign due to people dropping out. All races and classes are acceptable as long as your character matches some kind of treasure hunter archetype. Read through the campaign info and gameplay to get familiar with the setting. What "treasure" you are looking for is up to you (feel free to make up any legends that match the lore of the campaign as presented in the campaign info/gameplay thread).
Looking for:
Complete character concepts (crunch can be done after you are accepted, but please ask about any third party material or highly specific non-fantasy alterations beforehand) including race/class, description and motivations, and how you match the archetype.
Characters will be inserted in the game immediately. If two characters are selected they will be travelling together when they meet the group. WHY they are travelling together depends on you after selection (it may range from "I'll help you carry that treasure sack" to "I'll help you carry that treasure sack and then bash you with my club").
Race builder allowed? If so, how much RP to spend? If not. Available races, whats max on the RP?
I see you have sphere casting and most of the party was good? If the Path of war is okay, I'd like to try making a maneuvers using class.
@Seth86: Sure, standard level 10 RP, you can choose a single advanced trait for spice (subject to approval)
@rungok: Absolutely :) (our sphere caster left, so we don't really have any spheres now, but still...)
Awesome. Thanks. Will have a look when i get home. =^^=
Dotting, will adjust the character tonight

Concept:
Reyoris Nightflower
Elven Rogue (Investigator Archetype)
Raised among a large community of forest-dwelling elves, Reyo was steeped in Elven culture from her earliest memories. Tales of knowledge gained and lost filled her mind with a zeal for history. She spent nearly 40 years studying with the lorekeepers of her community. Her studies gave her access to information about ancient Elven relics which had been lost to her clan for hundreds of years. It was the discovery of this 'stolen' history that set her off initially. Not content to allow items of such significance to remain in the hands of those that had taken them, she sought out physical training, so she could set out upon her maturity to recover what history she could. We find her now, nearly 15 years into her quest for the first major relic in her book: Al'drunath, Circlet of the First Forestlord.
Reyo happened upon a book of ancient tales of the first kingdom of Elves to inhabit the forests where she grew up. Though little remains of their society, save for a few broken structures and tattered scrolls, one story that managed to survive was that of Elvryc Owlheart. Elvryc was styled as the First Forestlord. The head of a family of Elves that had started what they considered an empire (but in reality was little more than a community of a few thousand souls). Already an accomplished wizard by the time they settled among the forests, he spent decades crafting a crown befitting a king of the forest. Made from entwined branches of holly, oak, and black elder, he infused the creation with arcane magic. Using a flawless uncut emerald as a centerpiece, he consulted with the druids of his family to petrify the wood, preventing it from ever rotting away. He named the circlet Al'drunath, after his wife and queen. All of the surviving descriptions and imagery (few though they may be) show Elvryc wearing the circlet. Legend says that the vast amounts of energy poured into the circlet over the decades Elvryc wore the crown imbued it with the power to make anyone that wore the device keener and of sharper mind and wit. To what extent this is true, no one knows. The last bit of information that she had was that during some time of strife in the past, a marauding band of upstart humans had goaded Elvryc's kin into battle. When the then Forestlord strode into the midst of combat, he was overmatched by the ferocity of the mercenaries and he fell. When, at last, the field of war cleared, they found his mangled body, but not the Circlet.
Reyo decided to seek the Circlet first, out of all the relics she read legends of, because it was the most documented item. Further, she feels that if she can recover the Circlet, its power could help her either ascertain the location of other relics, or possibly bestow some kind of knowledge/memory on the wearer. Finally, she fears that if she was able to find any information about it, so too could those more willing to twist the ancient Elven magics to nefarious purpose.
Crunchwise: She loses trapfinding, but gains:
Follow Up (Ex): An investigator can roll twice on any Diplomacy check made to gather information, and receives the information for both results. This takes the same amount of time as one check. If the lesser of the two checks reveals false information, the rogue is aware of it. False information is not revealed in this way if the people she questioned do not know it to be false.
Fluffwise: Years of training with lorekeepers and rangers has taught her there are a multitude of ways to assess and obtain information. She took what she could from both groups of individuals and worked on her own to develop stealthier abilities. She knows that she has time to get information, and is OK taking it. She fosters relationships in major towns, but goes by a different assumed name in each. She keeps a set of journals in her own shorthand that details what she's found out so far.
In terms of general treasure hunting, while her primary focus is on the Circlet, she's not above taking on minor jobs at the request of those she's developed friendships with or other Elven enclaves she may come across. She recognizes that she needs a way to actively fund her search, and figures that generalized treasure recovery is a good way to do it. She figures that there's enough Elven spread through the land that most recovery missions of any real size will likely bring her into contact with something interesting from her past.
Cade is ready to go as far as I can tell
@Bimpnottin Daergel: Reyo sounds great!
@Cade Goodbarrel: Ok, but if chosen there will be some backstory to put you in one spot with the group (so you won't be starting in Sandpoint). Also, I do not see the general treasure hunter in you much, I see a halfling looking for his family heirlooms. You need a drop of the bottle labeled "gritty, shovel totting, and/or crazy eyed".
@Bimpnottin Daergel: Reyo goes in, I'll PM you the backstory and then you can directly post in the gameplay thread.
@Cade Goodbarrel: It's a good concept, but just doesn't feel right to me for the current game. Sorry, maybe next time.
If someone else wants to try, you can post submissions for the next 24 hours, the sooner the better.
My day did not go as planned. I will try to get something by tonight
