Resisting... urge... to make dirty joke...

Alright, urge resisted. Awesome! I look forward to seeing what goes on here. :)


If it's anything like my other campaign, there will be lots of geeky movie trivia. And the occasional "I'm heading out of town" post.

I have posted!


Female Half-Celestial Elf Cleric 10

Oh, I have a question! How long will the festival last, in game time?


The festival lasts for a month.


Today's Spells:
Cantrips: Acid Splash, Detect Magic, Message, Prestidigitation
Male Human (Mixed Kellid/Ulfen) Wizard {Scroll Scholar} (Universalist)/4 HP 20/20, Init +1, Per +0, AC 15*(11)/ t11/ ff 14*(10), F 2, R 2, W 3

I'm stuck now. Hopefully my presence will entertain others as well as myself.

If it isn't obvious from certain items on the sheet, Vinni has become something of a lush since being forced from Sirrion, not enough to adversely affect his capabilities; more just the most obvious indication of his low Wisdom.


Tossed in some minor info in the campaign tab.

So I take it the Pantheon is still essentially the Pathfinder/Inner Sea Deities?


Yes, except for no Razmir, worshippers of Urgathoa are on par with those of Rovagug, and Nethys lives in the world.

Oh, and Aroden's death didn't really mean much in the long run. He was more like St. Cuthbert from D&D.


Female Half-Celestial Elf Cleric 10

Ooh, a month. And another male! Yay! Now people will chase him around too!


Female Half-elf Druid 9 HP 73/73 AC 20 FF 19 Touch 11 Perception +21 Init +5

I'm here!


Female Half-Celestial Elf Cleric 10

I just wonder at the fact we all have either elven or human blood in us... No dwarves, gnomes, or halflings! How interesting.


Strange set of classes too. Paladin, Druid, Bard, and Wizard so far.


Female Half-Celestial Elf Cleric 10

Well, we've got an arcanist, a divine caster, a tanky sort, and a... me! So it's all traditional-role like... >_>


Now we just need a pickpocket with a heart of gold rofl


Female Half-Celestial Elf Cleric 10

Also: Pruffi, you're taking my role as knowledge monkey! >_<

I jest, I jest.

Poor gnomes. Misrepresented.

I just didn't want to be a little person.


Female Half-Celestial Elf Cleric 10

Yeah, I feel the same way, honestly. I feel like being a small race in this game would be a trifle odd, though it's probably just my imagination.

So, what do we see our roles being? I mean, just out of curiosity, because I am sure things will change before we get going. xD


Ithelien changes again! Gameplay is open for my eager folk, but I'm still waiting on the last two who expressed interest.

No worries, basically I just always figure anyone with the word 'Wizard' used to describe them should be able to know enough to get themselves into trouble in any situation. You will notice I only have one category with more than one rank in it. In the probably unlikely event that this becomes a long-running thing, that will start being an issue.

edit: Hey GM, I budgeted the Month's Lodgings off the Good Room & Meals in the PRD, how much more than that would the House of Joy be?

Second Edit: Looks like If I spend another twenty-six gold he is set for five weeks & the two mugs of ale per meal...

What? I already told you guys he was a lush...

Third edit: Done! Will be posting in gameplay momentarily.

Fourth edit; I swear, this is the last one! Hey GM, minor nit pick, but you might want to add another month if you are going to want them to all be only 28 days long; that will put the year closer to the 'earth standard' that Golarion is & make the seasons less short & intense.
I will shut up about it now, I promise.

I am amused. xD

Try this then: "Much Ado about Nothing" & "Henry the IIXth"

edit: RE-reading your posts, I realized you meant you didn't recognize the other...

I suspect the "Rovagug & Juniper" is either "Romeo & Juliet" or "Othello"

"How to love a difficult Woman" is clearly "Taming of the Shrew" & "Two Fishmongers from Dunbarrow" is likely "Two Gentlemen of Verona".


Female Half-Celestial Elf Cleric 10

Yeah, yeah! I did recognize the ones I quoted, though.

... Oh. Quiverpike. I get it now. *Sighs* I didn't notice that earlier. xD

EDIT: And I didn't notice that you realized that I meant other... xD


Ahh, yes. The puns are revealed.

@Vinccenso: A good inn stay per day is 2 gp. So a week is 14 gp and a month would be 64 gp. The House of Joy is 20 gp a week and 80 gp a month, because of meals (good quality: 7 gp per week, so you save 1 gp) plus amenities (security and the like).

Re: Months: I prefer the three months per season rather than trying to wrangle another month in there.


Well, I am excited to get started now. Sorry it takes me so long between posts. My computer is something of a relic, and I dont mean in a good way.


Female Half-Celestial Elf Cleric 10

No problem, Phaedra. We're patient folks. :D


Mmm...reading.


I've been reading stuff and ya'll are just so eloquent with your speech and the way you describe things. I feel about as eloquent and descriptive as a troll barbarian. LOL I'm so used to just sitting around a table with people and just being able to say whats in my head, sometimes in broken half sentences, but nonetheless I'm so used to verbalizing things that I've forgotten how to write out my thoughts. It may take me a while to get used to this way of doing things. Hopefully I'll get better at it as the time goes by. If anything this should help make me better at communicating. LOL


Female Half-Celestial Elf Cleric 10

I know the feeling, Phaedra. You'll get better as time goes on, I am sure. :)

On a different note...

Seeking lodging at the Bald Bard after seeing the garish opulence of the La Maison de la Joi, she shyly watches a lithe elven woman with long silver hair flirt openly with the female innkeeper. This was definitely a much different kind of town than she'd expected!

This made me laugh. A lot. xD

EDIT: On a random note, I'm amused that our druid is an urban person, but our paladin's of one of the gods of the wild. Normally, you'd expect it the other way around. xD


Female Half-Celestial Elf Cleric 10

That's it for me today, folks. Normally I'll be in bed before now, but today I was excited.

Oh, I definitely have some flavor in mind for my spells. Just watch out for barkskin-- or should I say brickskin?


Female Half-Celestial Elf Cleric 10

Nice, nice... Now I'm trying to reflavor entanglement in my head, but nothing is coming to me.

Also: I will be at work for a few hours today, so expect the flow of posts to slow down a tad.

the term you are looking for is rubbish heap...

I like that my God is Erastil. I was reading about him and he seems to be in line with things she holds important. It didn't seem too odd to me, but then again I rarely consider these kinds of things. Lol

Just so long as you realize Vinccenso is going to wind up looking at you kind of funny once he realizes you are a Paladin of Erastil, who presents more like a Paladin of Abadar or Iomeade.

I wouldn't expect welsh either, Gaelic I think would come closer to elven than welsh, but thats just a personal opinion on my part. Whatever floats your boat my man.

Gaelic was actually my first choice, unfortunately Google Translate does not list Gaelic as an option. They had Welsh & Irish, and I didn't realize Irish was available until after I had already posted. Likely going to be using Irish as Elven from now on.


For what it matters, I usually use arabic or hindi for elven since the script is similar to Tolkien's. Whatever you feel comfortable with is fine.


Female Half-Celestial Elf Cleric 10

I feel like I read that Erastil's the elf of the gods: that is, he's the elder one who looks down his nose at the young 'uns Doing It Wrong.

EDIT: Also, Hindi appeals, though I'm not sure why. I know Tolkien's languages are original, though... So if you could find an online translator of one of them, you might want to do that! xD


Female Half-elf Druid 9 HP 73/73 AC 20 FF 19 Touch 11 Perception +21 Init +5

Its all good. To her character being a paladin isint all about wealth, fame, or even law and justice. Its about family and trying to protect the ones you love or care about. Its about making the world a safer place for all that inhabit it. Her family wasn't rich. Her parents were artisans and she grew up with farmers and fishermen, so it made sense to me that they would follow Erastil. How she reacts to things, just depends on the situation at the time. I dont think he really looks down on anyone, just more wanting to guide them is all. And really, if there wasn't so much going wrong in the world we wouldn't need the Gods anyways. So, its good that they at least are watching out for us. Anyways, again thats just my thinking on it and why I chose him. Plus, I'm Lawful Good, so didn't really want to go with a neutral God.


Female Half-Celestial Elf Cleric 10

Yeah, makes sense. I think Ithelien thinks of Erastil as a stuffy god, though. :P


A usable Tolkien translator is hard to find, by the way.


Female Half-Celestial Elf Cleric 10

That makes sense. It's not exactly well-known.

EDIT: Of course, there's a Hymmnos online translator, so one never knows...


I did find a transcriber but it only offered it as an image, which is not helpful for the game.


Female Half-elf Druid 9 HP 73/73 AC 20 FF 19 Touch 11 Perception +21 Init +5

That's okay Ithelien. LOL And might I say :P right back atcha. hehehe

I resent that! Ithelien does not rush! He goes at a leisurely pace, flirting with every lady along the way! :P


Female Half-elf Druid 9 HP 73/73 AC 20 FF 19 Touch 11 Perception +21 Init +5

Okay peeps. I have to go for now. I need to go to the gym for a while, but I'll be back on later to check on missed posts. Wish everyone the best. Talk to ya'll later.

Ugh! I wish I could post but I'm at my face to face game. Had a ton of time to post something before and then... 27 posts without me now that I can't respond?! Fueh!


Female Half-Celestial Elf Cleric 10

Heheh. *Pets* We'll wait for you, I assume.


Life conspires against us all that way.
