groovy. I am good to go I think.
Also another minor minor goal, I think I will want to upgrade my armor and weapons to MW via MW transformation. a little more expensive but I think he wants to keep his gear from his army days.
Gunla is good to go. I gave her armor and weapons befitting her station (but all non-masterwork) and 10 sp.
Some notes: her traits are Bully (she had to be tougher and meaner than her peers, growing up), and Birthmark (in the shape of Irori's holy symbol... this might be the reason that High Inquisitor Mezmer spared her). She has proficiency with the longsword and the whip due to a half-orc trait, but I gave her Exotic Weapon Proficiency (katana), because that seemed cooler, more intimidating, better-suited to Irori, and mechanically superior to the unarmed strike (which, as Irori's favored weapon, she is also proficient with).
Gunla, are you the Preacher Archetype? Or is that a fluff profession?

Dorcie Blakewater, Mother. Serving as a housekeeper in the home of a wealthy merchant, she works long hours. A formidable woman when challenged.
Alfonse Blakewater, Uncle. The successful brother, Alfonse has accumulated and invested a goodly fortune. He is frugal and hard-working. His shop, Blakewaters, is Eli's current place of employment and residence. Alfonse is a member of the Crucible Club, a secret association of Alchemists. Alfonse, being witness to Eli's recent mistakes, is watching his nephew closely. Though Alfonse seems quite severe and emotionless, he has grown fond of Marysin and Eli, and wants to protect them, but his patience is tested by Eli's errors.
Case Grammet, Friend. The son of a wealthy nobleman, Case is a (former) mate of Eli's from when he was more involved in debauchery and dissolute pursuits. He was recently ratted out by someone (Eli) for involvement in illegal drugs and his parents came down very hard on him for disgracing their family. Case has not discovered Eli's involvement yet, but if he does, he will not forgive easily.
Konor Quay, Criminal. Quay is a criminal. He leads a gang of thugs and is involved in the drug trade. Recently, he was caught in a sweep of the gangs, and even in prison, his reach is still significant. He has more means to discover his betrayer as well. Quay is also not an isolated part of the criminal world. He has bosses over him who may be displeased with the disruption to their profits and power.
Mother Merapi, Teacher. Mother Merapi, as she is known, is a skilled Alchemist who teaches potential members of the Crucible Club the arts of the Magical Alchemist. She is mysterious and unpleasant, but no-one can deny she is effective. She never forgets a student, and always keeps up tabs on her more promising pupils.
Marysin Blakewater, Wife. Marysin is a pretty young woman. Her beauty has been marred as of late by a sickness that Eli and his Uncle have been careful to conceal the true causes of. She loves her husband, but her faith in him has been somewhat shaken by his mistakes. She hopes he is sincere in trying to turn himself away from the actions that caused her illness.
I believe that the Three Carriage Bend is Balthe's Tavern of choice. Also what led him to frequent Blakewater's for his alchemical needs.
@Balthe - May I take the liberty of moving your friend Lucera to be the proprietor of Three Carriage Bend to keep the connections solid?
@Gunla - Looks good. You're all set.
@Capricornus - Just waiting on goals, stats, and an alias.
I will send you each a PM shortly giving you a quick sketch of the events leading up to the adventure start. We will begin with everyone already in the same place and with a single small goal. From there, it's wide open.
Very soon!
sure

- Find out if Konor Quay has been arrested and imprisoned.
- Tend to Marysin.
- Apologize to his uncle.
Medium Term- Refine his Mutagen recipe to improve its ability to protect against toxins.
- Earn enough to have his own residence.
- Help his parents get their own Inn back.
Long Term- Become a Master Alchemist
- Stop the drug trade and prevent more people from suffering as he and Marysin did.
Working on Alias and Crunch now.
Gunla does indeed have the preacher archetype.

As Eli is not an adventurer, he has very little actual adventuring gear. He does however have a home and a lab, and access to a lot of mundane household items and common food items. I have not enumerated a lot of these, or the amounts of things like oil or string or rope, assuming he can get a lot of such items out of the closets and pantries and basement of his home.
I have added some alchemical items that he has crafted. Some of them I also haven't enumerated, except ones that might be used as weapons.
Okay, here we go!
nice, already intense. I am half hoping that the package is a pickled herring or something like that and we spent all this tension for nothing.
hmm better start composing a song, and doing sit-ups
Just checking in. Running late today so I won't be able to post until later tonight. Thanks for your patience.
Did you have anything in mind, that I could start with? Anyhow, just some thoughts. Thanks
We can just wing it as we go, if you want. I'm comfortable just having fluid continuity and adding details as we along if you are. If not, feel free to write up a quick outline, but you don't have to.
got ya, I will do a bullet point outline. Which i will pm to you.
o ho

I apologize for the delay. I had two prior engagements run late and early in such a way that I was unable to carve out time to post today. I will catch up over the weekend.

GM please do not hesitate to bot me. I will go with Vlachus and do whatever is needed to save him, Telwyn and us. Balthe is confused, but all in.
Are we dead?
I was moving for a couple of days, but I'm here and all in.
Well it seems we lost out GM. That is a shame considering all the work we put in just to start,
It happens, I guess. :/
4th one for me
I've had a couple end abruptly myself. In several right now incase there are more casualties.
seems almost like you can expect to have your game fail. That has been a surprise to me.
I've played in or am playing in a total of eight PBPs. Three have failed, and one is... boring. Three are going quite well, however. I'm even considering running one myself.
i am running two it can get overwhelming but has been a good time
