Akeirin can have met Naji in the Jotens as the Velverdyva elves patrol that area if I remember rightly.
Hustonj, did you go Ecclesithurge or Warpriest?
Well that worked. But the maps break my phone...
Therion hails from the elven enclave of Shalehal in the Sylvan woods, just north of Kendall Keep. I have been using Anna B Meyer's maps for reference (They are wonderful!)
If you have not seen them, here is a link.Also, I know you mentioned this before, but what is the year??
I keep getting linked to the Campaign tab from the link in your post, so I've broken the link and relinked to try to get there...
Well that worked. But the maps break my phone...
Those maps are very detailed. They would break your smart phone.
And here's the profile with the mechanics for people to oogle.
"Oooooo", said Therion oogling Naji's profile!! lol
Therion received all his training from his hometown so, unfortunately, has limited exposure to the outside world. He is very eager to learn about the world outside the Sylvan Wood and would take very little coaxing to have him join a group (like, Hey, want to join our group!!
Akeirin had been travelling to the Hold of the Sea Princes, and has been waylaid into adventure and fast friendship.
Where can we all have met?
How about Saltmarsh :-)
Saltmarsh is a good place to meetup.

If only this person saw my 4 that im going to continue with... ANYWAY....
Where would be a good place to tie in Nintos? Is there a minor noble family in/near Saltmarsh that I could have pledge an oath to serve that would help tie myself in? I know that @EltonJ we had talked a little and my character wasn’t the greatest at court and was sent out more or less “on missions” for my Lord/Lady.
My lack of game/setting knowledge on this end of things is hurting my ability to tie myself in.

Not to worry Nintos. A possible scenario is that you were once a part of a noble household or knightly order in Keoland, but for some reason, you upset your betters and they decided to punish you by having you sent to the Barony of Salinmoor (a hot, sweaty, diseased part of the kingdom located far to the south).
The nobles of the area are:
Cronin Secunforth III, Viscount of Salinmoor
Erlynt Lorchester, Lord Baron of Redshore
Sormon Andrigal, Lord Baron of the West Riding
Prisenter Rynnow, Lord Baron of Angleburg and Seaton Hall
Willem Stoutly, Lord Baron of Seaton
Thivis Makaster, Lord Baron of Burle
Thoresse Nulbar, Lady Baroness of the East Riding
In Saltmarsh itself, 4 noble families vie for control. They are:
Egan Lassiter, Lord of Saltmarsh
Erolin Timertikos, Lord of Saltmarsh
Toren Aerakin, Lord of Saltmarsh
Sara Rasivath, Lady of Saltmarsh
If you want to know more about these families just let me know and I can post the information.
@EltonJ - since it look like no one has bit on wanting to use the treasure map quite yet, do you want to use this as a future path for adventure? Or will it point to somewhere in the Caves of Chaos?

It can point somewhere in the Caves of Chaos. Probably the hidden temple.
Did some brief looking and here is a little combination of what I had originally thought and some more added with @Therion’s help with area nobles.
When Nintos Melinos the IV came along he learned of his name sake and at a young age vowed to bring honor back to the family name. As a child of the age of 9 he submitted himself to be the squire of a Knight/Cavalier serving in the army of Cronin Secunforth III, Viscount of Salinmoor.
Nintos quickly learned the duty of a squire as he would aid the Knight/Cavalier during the 3rd Sahugin Conflict, the battle that raged along the Salinmoor Coast from 576CY-582CY. By the end of the conflict Nintos was 15 and had learned the skills needed to become a soldier himself. By the time he was 18 he swore an oath to Cronin Secunforth III andbecome a Cavalier in Cronin’s army under the Order of the Sword.
Now in 590CY Nintos is 23 and has gained the title of Knight Bachelor in Cronin Secunforth III house. The lowest title once could earn, but it was one step in the direction or bringing honor back to his family’s name.
Thoughts?
So far, so good. I think you have a good background there. Not a full campaign, but enough to work off of. If you added a rival, that could help in future adventures.
Saltmarsh works for me.
So what’s next in the things needed to do before we get to kick off this adventure?
Just wanting to keep on track to start. Very excited about how this is all shaping up.
I just need to know how you know each other. All of you met in Saltmarsh, correct?
Yes. Naji met Akeirin at the edge of the Jotens, possibly picking up Therion on the way. A trio of casters finding philosophical and operational differences intriguing perhaps. As for our gnome bard and human cavalier I admit I'm at a loss. Perhaps the treasure map concept - it could have had multiple copies and lead to something imagined more important than mere treasure, but something Nintos has been tasked to retrieve or that is related to an heirloom?
The treasure map on the gnome could lead to an important treasure, that's true. He wants the treasure map to lead somewhere in the Caves of Chaos. The human Cavalier's ties are uncertain, but I'm sure he met up with you in Saltmarsh.
Ok, maybe Jebbedo's map has proven enticing to the Naji and the elves, and Nintos might have a more pertinent reason to explore the caves.
Sounds reasonable to me.
Perhaps the Cavalier rescued the gnome from some unscrupulous people who were trying to steal the map? Provides him justification for CONTINUING to be responsible for the gnome's well being. Even if it is a trope.
I kind of like a mix of @Akeirin, Naji, & Jebeddo’s concepts.
Little did Nintos know the gnome he would run into, and believe was his contact, was one who actually stole a treasure map from the thieves guild. Nintos looked like a good getaway ride, horse armor and all.
X amount of time could have passed and maybe Nintos found out, maybe not... I kind of like the idea that Nintos doesn’t know yet.
Regardless, we formed an alliance and we are seeking out the heirlooms. If Jebeddo told Nintos about the map we could also be seeking out the map.
Thoughts?

Thoughts?
I like it. IF there isn't anything else, we can start. Right? :)
I am sure we are all chomping at the bits!
Gameplay is happening...

Just saw this....
Jut realised I have not picked traits. Do we pick two?
And starting gold - usual for class? If so:
x10 = 100 gp
And if two traits, can they both be url=http://www.d20pfsrd.com/alternative-rule-systems/psionics-unleashed/psi onic-alternate-rules/psionic-traits/]Psionic traits[/url] ?
Standard rule for traits is no more than one of a given type. <shrug>
Seems fair. Just the one then. ;)
Ok, picked one Psionic Trait and one Dream trait.
Mental Discipline: You have had some basic training in mental control. Autohypnosis is always considered a class skill for you, and you get a +1 trait bonus to Autohypnosis checks.
Lucid Dreaming: Benefit: You have the ability to recall dreams vividly, and can always recall things you may have done in your sleep. In addition, you are aware of when you are dreaming and have access to your power point pool and powers known while in the dream. When you awaken, any power points spent while dreaming are depleted from your power point reserve.

Sounds good then.
Does anyone know how to create custom language packs for PCGen? Or is there a Greyhawk content file to DL?
Nope. Do it all by hand every time.
*Sigh* Me too.
I recommend taking a look at PCGen. It's free, it can output character sheets in .pdf and for the forums, and supports *most* pfs content.
Everyone around?
yup...just wondering if Therion say anything of note on his way to the Inn??
You mean saw anything of note, right?
lol...correct. Teach me to try and post from my phone during a meeting!! :-)
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!!
Merry Christmas to you too. :D
Hey all. Sorry I was away. I had a lot more on my plate at the start of the year that I was expecting. I am back and ready to go.
Apologies.
Camp out with the Scouts last weekend took far more out of me than I expected. Then the normal Scouting schedule, some extra demands from work, wife's been sick, etc.
I'm seeing what I can catch-up on and get through tonight.
I'm all for heading to the Caves, but an NPC for hire or even a new recruit may not be a bad idea given our dedicated battler seems AWOL...
Does adding another caster really help us though?
