*peek* Hi!
I take it this means you're actually interested! :D
ETA on a character before I move things along with everyone else? Just planning the introduction.
Still trying to think of what I want to play. Any ideas of what you guys want in the group? :)
Let's see we have
a dwarven Bard (me)
a dwarven Cleric - Kurth Silvermug
a dwarven Summoner (synthesist) - Imperia
a dwarven Fighter - Baird Ironhame
an elven Magus - Talas Arduinn
We've got some pretty heavy hitters already, perhaps another supporting role or caster would be good.
I always wanted to play a kobold ... lol
Probably not great for a party of dwarves, tho. :)
Well it's better than a goblin...
Kobold doesn't suuuuuuper fit, unless you have a really great backstory reason for it?
I'll behave. :) I just like kobolds. :)

I guess it wouldn't hurt to have a wizard. But really the party's diverse enough, that I think we can manage about anything. So really just pick something that would be fun to play.
Ditto to the welcome, and yeah, we kind of have all the bases covered to some extent, so play whatsoever you like. :D
Oh man ... okay. Playing an oracle of the occult. Still picking a curse - probably deaf. :)
Okay cool. I'll have a post up for you guys in the morning, and then we'll introduce Ms Lexi once she's ready!
Sounds good!
Here she is! :) Background coming!
Work is a bit nuts this week, will get a post up for you guys later tonight! Great roleplaying so far. :)
Lemme know how you wanna add Vannah in. :) Or, rather, if you want me to change her any :)
I need your background! The crunch looks fine.
OH lol. I wrote it and then never posted it. just checking it over now. :)
Fixed. :) Vannah's stuff in her profile.
So from the way everybody's talking about drow, they're not the secret race that they are in normal Golarion canon? I thought the dwarves' main enemy in the Darklands were the orcs and the duergar.

Yeah, this is a bit different across the board. The Drow are the main antagonist in the Underdark. The Duergar are simply a type of Dwarf here - considerably less evil than they are in Golarion canon.
After Dammerhall fell, some Dwarves went above ground and some stayed below. Those who went above were largely assimilated into other cultures, while the others shut themselves off completely, becoming the Duergar. Orcs are unlikely to be in the Underdark at all.
The Drow might still not be particularly known to surface races like Gnomes or Humans because what do they care what goes on underground, but the Dwarves would always have been aware of them.
Does that make sense?
Makes sense to me. Thanks.
Also, we keep saying Underdark. Are we going with that instead of Darklands? Either way, is there still the Nar-Voth/Sekamina/Orv distinction and the mystery of the Vault Builders?
Uhhhh I'll need to flip through the Into the Darklands book to say for sure. Generally speaking I think that Firemountain Games have created their own version of the Underdark, but there may indeed be interesting things in that book that can be reused, so I'll check.
Underdark, Darklands are both acceptable names. You can also use Azathyr (ah-zah theer rhymes with fear), which is what the Drow call this particular region of the Underworld.
Will have a post up for you guys tonight.
Karlprosek - should be able to read the Darklands book this weekend.
Ha. I didn't mean to give you homework, DM. I'm fine with using the FR Underdark instead of Golarion's Darklands, I just wanted to know which frame of reference to use.
No worries, like I said, I'm sure there could be interesting things in there. :)
In sad news, my laptop at home died and I'm entering crunch time at work. I'll get a post up in the morning, but I may be somewhat slow going over the next two weeks or so.
Sorry all, I know my posts have been lackluster - I caught the plague from a friend and have been strung out on antihistamines all week. Blagh. Hopefully I get better shortly.
Hope you feel better soon.

Handwaving the shopping works for me.
Yeah, handwaving is definitely fine for me, too.
Fine with me as well.
I've got a couple of busy days coming up starting tomorrow, so feel free to DMPC Baird if I don't manage to post.
I'll have a post up for you guys in the morning.
Apologies guys - Paizo was down? Or was that just me? Catching up now.
It was definitely down for a while. I couldn't get to it at all most of the weekend. No worries, though, we've just been yammering about taking watches. :P
I'll be out for most of the remainder of the day and tomorrow as well, competing in a tournament. If I'm lucky I can compete on sunday as well, so if I'm playing/DM-ing your campaign, you know why.
If I'm playing in your campaign feel free to bot me.
NP Boreyn, good luck!
Also, for everyone: While we're on the subject of Watch Order, what's your preferred marching order? We'll eventually be coming into some smaller caverns.
I'll also add both of these things to the Campaign Tab once decided upon so that they can be found easily.
Too burned out from job interviews today, will have a post for you guys in the morning.
Also: Marching order?
Nobody else has said they want point in particular, so, I'll put this forward and if people want to change their position, they can say so here:
Talas > Baird > Kurth > Imperia > Vannah > Boreyn
Just a lose framework so people can state their preferences relative to that.
That marching order seems fine to me.
Oh, and good luck on your interviews, Yorick.
Imperia's technically a caster, but in her suit she's a heavy hitter. You don't want her closer to the front or back?
I can't think of Imperia with Legion without picturing Ripley's suit in Aliens.
Oh, and good luck on your interviews, Yorick.
Thanks! So far so good. Fingers crossed that I ought to have a new job come early September.
How did I miss this? Best of luck from me, too!
Marching order is fine with me, including any changes Imperia wants to make (that don't separate him from Talas).
Yep, wherever Imperia wants to be is fine with me. I was going off the notion that her unbuffed AC is lower than Talas's unbuffed, but if she wants point (or rear-guard), that's groovy.
Best of luck from me too Yorick, been out for the past few days due to my girlfriend staying over, couldn't really get access to my pc.

That sounds like the opposite of a problem. ;-)
Good luck with the interviews, Yorick.
I guess it doesn't really matter. We've got the scout-types up front and Kurth and Imperia can run up and smack things if it comes to it. I'm good.
Thanks guys. :) Interviews went great! One of the places actually made me an offer tonight. Super excited.
Hoorah!
Congrats!
