Feel free to use this discussion as well. Neither discussion is off limits to the other. But it may keep things more organized.
I will adjust my character soon with the bonus feats.
Hey everyone, before we start is anyone interested in having previously known anyone else?
I know for example me and Alma discussed Alma maybe knowing/being aware of Amara before campaign start.
If Amara was involved in something of noteworthy talk, Alma could have gotten wind of her person, through social talk in the streets and inns throughout the city.
(Diplomacy on the commoners for daily news)
The unliving need no sleep, so Alma has all the time of the day, to look into rumors.
Of course, rumors don't always include the details, so Amara's true nature wouldn't be known to Alma.
Looking through backstories the most likely for Ella to know and have befriended prior to the start of the adventure is Faolan Baran as she appreciates a proper melee fighter that can make sure she has the space to do her work in a fight. Both have a mercenary background.
It's also possible she's heard of the 7'3'' Hjorleaf since he sobered up some drunken mercs awhile back. I don't see her knowing the Oracle or deathless ghost yet, though she'd find both interesting from an academic perspective.
I mean, she has +10 to intimidate, walks round with a scythe on her back, has 18 Charisma and a propensity to cast cause fear on people who decide they don't like they way she looks/the cut of her jib.
So she may not have done anything particularly remarkable unless you count 1st level spells as remarkable. But there is a good chance she'd leave an impression a commoner may have taken note of.
I think the only one Amara would be interested in form the get go would Hjorleaf for being so big. Befriending someone like that would probably appeal to her from a self preservation point of view, when going into enemy territory.
+If we're being totally honest she'd probably think that if the worst came to the worst he might make a great corpse.
She would naturally be interested in Alma but since Alma has taken pains to conceal herself I don't think Amara would be aware of her.
She would probably also have some interested in Ellagaria's magic, but less so I suspect than the reverse, she doesn't really understand the mechanics of magic, just its potential.
I skipped over the submission for Abaos like a jack@ss so he contacted me as I requested and he'll be joining the strike force. Just a heads up for everyone.
PS Good Morning.
Okay, now that is more of a clear thing she'd hear about and be interested in to see.
:)
Until holy warriors don't start automatically smiting ghosts left & right, Alma's being careful. There's always the zealous tunnel-vision person in the bigger group.
Kewl :)
by the way DM Amara is not listed in the player or character session for the campaign.
That is weird Amara, when I go to the edit campaign page, doesn't list you as an option. However, it should add automatically as I didn't add manually any of the players listed. Keep posting in Gameplay and hopefully it will take care of itself otherwise I'll need to trouble shoot further.
First Gameplay post is up for SF(Strikeforce).
Very happy to know someone. I figure Faolan has been here for a few months, living cheap off his last runs wages (well except for his carousing). He's a friendly guy, the sort to talk to strangers in the pub, so happy to know any of you.
Ellagaria, want to say we've known each other a few weeks? Both just sort of keeping our eyes out for a job, and helping each other do the same? You could join me at the pub, and we could discuss this latest offering.
Also, I've started the treasure sheet (link) for us. It's purpose is to make sure we don't forget anything, and share more or less equally between us. It also helps us track wealth by level and, to a lesser degree, group consumables like healing (assuming we want to pool our resources there).
It'll make more sense when we start to find stuff, but if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask - chat or PM.
Thanks for going to the trouble Faolan Baran
There is a good chance that a lot of people have heard of Hjorleaf. They may not know his name but word may travel of his size and his deeds in a tavern just a day ago.
Question was Alma not shaking Amara’s hand and introducing herself intentional?
If so hilarious xD
Introducing in response to yourself, yes, shaking hands, she didn't.
That's funny, how? ^^
Cause I can just imagine Amara’s hand hovering in mid air whilst she’s momentarily furious at being snubbed. XD
Alma could, if she needed to, due to the 3rd lvl feat.
You understand why she'd not immediately do so in this crowded place.
At least not until she'd put on gloves...which probably are in her pack.
And i now had to look up snubbed...my English is good, but not my native speech.
Although, she's wearing the hat of disguise, so perhaps the color of her hands matches 'living' coloration as well.
I’m kinda glad she snubbed Amara to be honest, gave me a giggle xD
Gameplay post up!
Question, which EXP track are we using?
Since PbP is slow enough already, we'll be using the Fast advancement.
GM, will we have to track our own xp progress?
Or will you give a notification of when people gain a lvl?
Thanks to our tall warrior for contacting me. Somehow didn't see I'd been selected!
As a heads up unless I'm missing that you used VMC I think you're missing a feat for 3rd level and 2 traits.
But welcome to the team we're happy to see you

Yeah, I had to adjust for the free feats and add traits. Should be good now.
Is anyone else a little concerned that the campaign seems to be stalling out?
I think we are past the stall phase.
:(
First of the year is a busy time...
Not yet. I will after posting.
It has been a while...
figuring it's a holiday weekend in the US I was going to poke the gm tomorrow
Well, I hope our DM is OK, but I'm out. If this starts back up, I'll pass. I'm going to see if I can get into another campaign with his character.
Good luck everyone.
As Faolan fades out of reality, Ellagaria exclaims, "oh no, you didn't even finish your drink!
On the more serious side, I'll be opening a recruitment thread today for the Guard Academy (there's an interest check) game. With the right mix of players I believe it'll be quite fun.
Guard Academy?
Homebrew?
