The wardstone of Kenabres has been broken and the demons of the worlwound are loose! How will this crisis be contained?

Casting: When casting a spell defensivly if you fail you do not automaticly lose the spell, rather you provoke an attack as you normally would for not casting defensive. If you are hit you must make a concentration check dc 10+damage taken if you fail this check you lose the spell.
Rolls:
Many rolls will be handled by the GM in secret.(don't worry, I don't fudge.)
Any result that can influence the character behavior will not be rolled open.
Rolls that will be handled by the GM:
Perception
Sense Motive.
if you make the check I will send you a pm or make a post and put it in a spoiler depending on the situation.
Sometimes I will roll Initiative others I will ask you to roll depending on the situation. In some situation (rarely) I will bypass init entirely and have you all go first and enemies second or have enemies go first and you all go after.
Combat rules:
I'm a fair GM, I dont roll combat in secret, I don't change results, I don't ignore bad calls from the characters.
Sometimes, character dies, but I'm not a player killer, if I think that an encounter will be easy handled, when it should be more challenging, I will make it a more challenging, if the party it's not prepared to face something, I will drop hints, if they insist... well killing one or two players never made me lack sleep...
Actions:
I'm a GM that do not punish the character for trying something new or cool, or even strange. Visual appealing actions are encouraged, the dc will of course depend on what are you trying, but you can try! If what you want to do is wicked cool, I can even bend the game mechanics to allow it! The most importat part is: You are villains. Villains are smart, resourceful and have style! Have you ever seen a memorable villain that could just swing his sword and do nothing more?
Posting Rate
If it could be done, I expect 1/day posting, if you can post more, it will really good.
During weekend, this rule does not apply. If you are able to post, great! But dont stress over this, everyone need some time to rest (In my case, I need time to play and DM :D on my tabletop games).
Level up
Aside from character creation, when you level up, if you want something not from core rulebook, you'll need to search it inside the game. basicly what you need to do is just show in game your character is searching for that knowledge. This rule is not meant to prohibit anything, I just don't like something like this: "Character always as a full caster, never picked up a sword in his entire life, and then he gain a new level and says: Master, I'll level up as a fighter now..."
Hey Merc, I switched out Cleave for Intimidating Prowess. I think it fits Aeron a little better than Cleave. Given that he's 6'9" and 280 pounds.... lol! I'll work on finishing up the Background and Description.
That is actually an interesting point Faelyn - I pictured Tessai carrying all her stuff around just for the descriptive sake of it, but I'm not sure how much of the gear we would have with us. If you are newly arrived in Kenabres, it would make sense that your character has all its gear though.

Well Varn has 1000's of Gp in equipment that is still at his inn since his admittedly strong wizard arms (my first wizard with a Positive str bonus) couldn't manage to carry it around. He is stuck with the equivalent of 90 Gp of gear on him.
Hehe, I gotta agree it probably doesn't get much more epic than this - two of the most powerful creatures that roam around the Worldwound, at each other throats... Yep, I guess that is it :D

I can picture it all in my head:
Paizo employee - So, for the new WotR adventure path, how are you gonna handle the setup? Do the PCs meet in a tavern, or maybe they answer a petit-
Paizo Writer - What? NO! They are all in this plaza, you see? And then BAM! Titanic explosion! And a Great Wyrm Silver Dragon and a Balor start fighting in the sky! And the earth shatters open and demons erupt and the PCs fall down in a pit... AND I'M JUST GETTING STARTED!
Paizo employee - W-What!? But you can't... This is madness!

Was fun though had a necro wizard and caused fear on the one with the barrel, it ran of the roof failed its acrobatics throw and took enough damage to kill itself.
So i rolled a str check in the gameplay and got a 7 but then when I reread your post I saw the giant spider which I had missed in the past and decided against it. I am going to pry up the rock now should I use the 7 or reroll.
Hey guys, I agree with the absolutely epicness of the introduction. Also just to let you guys know I'm working midnight shift until January 1 so most of my posting will be at night and early mornings until then.
yep I was looking forward to that definitely the most epic intro for an ap so far.
As for posting I ask only for a post day. Just so we know what you character is doing, if you going to be away for a while just let me know here in ooc.
Female Human (Kellid) Cleric of Iomedae (War [Tactics], Glory [Heroism]) 3
Quick Stats:
Init +7 (6/day reroll, current 5) | AC 19, t 13, ff 16 | hp 31 / 34 | Fort +6, Ref +4, Will +6 | Perception +10
Our first fight! Those maggots don't stand a chance. ^^
One thing though, is there perhaps a combat map of something like that, where we can see squares and distances and so on?
It's harder to formulate a good battle plan otherwise (and Selka is all about tactics, it's even one of her domains! xD).
On an unrelated note, guys if you want healing or some spell cast upon you (if I have it prepared, otherwise you may have to wait 1 in-game day), feel free to ask!
For most battles I will create and post battle maps were you can see your position but I'm not gonna bother for this one as it should be over in one round.

@Varn It's in my profile somewhere. It may be a bit hidden, but it's there I assure you! ^^
Anyway, right now Selka's prepared spells are: Shield of Faith(D), command, protection from evil, detect magic, light, mending. Plus of course cure spells spontaneous casting and positive energy channeling.
So if you need to be shielded, protected, mended, illuminated or healed I got you covered! ;)
Furthermore, Tactics domain granted ability allows to reroll initiative x times per day, and can be granted to allies as well. So if there is a tough fight ahead, and someone just rolled unluckily for initiative, but they are positive if they could just reroll, get a better result and go before the enemy they'd win us the day, you need only to ask and a reroll you shall receive. ^^
@DireMerc Sure thing, no problem, and thank you. :)
Well shoot I had a really long post that I made and posted right after Selka's post and it seems it never showed up. I was just about to go to bed and I was checking to see if anyone replied to mine...I'm too tired to re-write it just now...Dam that took me like and hour to write the first time...I'll take care of it when I wake up and yes I'm going to bed at
8 am stayed up all night watching anime.
Hey guys, sorry no post yet. We had some really nasty storms come through today and my ISP is still down. I'm posting this with my phone and I don't have the patience to type out a full post on this thing. Hopefully I'll be back up tomorrow.
I do love me some massive hammer damage! Fighters might not have the AoE capabilities of casters, but they sure can deal some massive damage to single targets.
I had a sweet plan all laid out for Tessai to ease up into the Paladin class, but now I've just changed it all around.
My idea is that Tessai will level up as a Paladin, as Iomedae's presence becomes stronger in her heart and soul, but she may not even realize it right away, and perhaps only when she smites evil for the first time, or something like that - I am mulling over a way to introduce it.
One more Orizon per day - Create Water
One more 1st Level Spell per day - Summon Monster I

Love it!
If it may help you, please feel free to include Selka in your plans, since she is a cleric of Iomedae and all. Maybe when they make camp they can have a long talk about the gods, Iomedae, the crusade, and so on, and that helps inspire Tessai? (Just throwing it out there, of course she is your character and you can do whatever you want! ^_^).
Actually Selka, I was already planning to draw your character in before we leveled up, so that looks like a good idea to me :D
She has had contact with the Iomedae faith by the way of her adopted father, though he never actually indoctrinated her, leaving that option to her alone.
I guess Tessai actually questions even the possibility that, having been born out of who knows what Devil, and living as one in the wilds of the Worldwound for a good chunk of her childhood, she could even be looked upon by one such as the Goddess with anything but contempt.
