Thanks guys. I'm going to try and resume my posting.
Hi all,
I'm going on a cruise for the next 11 days, feel free to bot Brandt, but it seems like we're edging away from combat, so survival rolls as needed. I'll catch up when I'm back.
Enjoy and have fun.
Hope everyone is okay?
I'm back! Let's go! :D
I have some great news.
I am in another game with Rannik (Orlog) he will be back and posting soon. I am not certain as to how his health is but coming back and posting is good news to me.
Welcome back Orlog.!!!!
Glad to hear he is doing better!
Welcome back!
Hello people, I am finally about to come online. I've just spend all of the Holidays in the ICU and didn't see much of January. The only good thing about this is that I lost weight.
I'm getting better every day, but will never get back to full health. My pneumonia got mixed with Covid and did a number on my lungs. I now have a friend next to my bed called an O2 tank.
I only have my phone at the moment, and I try to get back to make post, but I have alot of post to read.

I'm so glad you're okay! I really hope you have a speedy, smooth recovery.
I'm so sorry to hear about the damage done to your health, Orlog P. Here is hoping you recover as much as possible.
While my character has full faith in his words and feels he has convinced the king of the errors of his way...
As a player, I am waiting to be attacked by the king and the two crocodiles at the same time.
I'm more worried about the Wisp. Won't be easy
Looks like every +1 will count

Message for all my games:
The flu has fallen upon my family, hitting me and my daughter especially hard.
I'm going to take the weekend off to recover and look after my little girl, so I'll check back in with you on Monday to let you know how we're doing.
Thank you for your understanding.
Is there a map of the Tadarian advance. So, we can get an idea of where they are located and what areas they have conquered. I would like to have an idea of who they have not attacked.
Did we lose some more players?
I hope not.
I'm here!

I don't have a map of that, but I can try to put one together if you think it would be helpful.
The Taldan armed forces have seized all the Galtan land east of the Sellen River and south of the East Sellen River, which they have crossed only to seize the ostensible capital city of Isarn.
It looks like we lost Orlog and Syrtia.
I had hopes that Orlog would be joining us again, but it looks like he will not be rejoining us. He is the Dm in my other game and that has gone into defunct status. Would we like to do a recruitment?

We can make a recruitment post, unless any of you have friends or acquaintances you might want to invite first.
I would like to start a recruitment.
Actually I may have a player or two who I might want to invite. They've been regular posters in games I'm currently in. Want me to reach out to them, DM Vayelan?
Awesome.

Yes, please. I would appreciate that.

I'll send out messages to them now and see if they're interested. The fact they get to start at 7th level instead of the beginning maybe a lure *knock on wood*
Okay, John Gs is interested! Others are either at full capacity or getting roughed up by Real Life.
DM Vayelan Should I tell John Gs to introduce himself here? Or would you rather him PM you?

He can go ahead and introduce himself here. That way we can all collaborate with him as he builds his character.
As for the others, I understand all too well how tough it can be to balance multiple games against real life.

Good morning, I'm John. Happy to be here (thank you Bydar for the invite) and also happy to meet those of you that I don't know already. I do love the occasional, Oh you are X in the game where I am Y, things that happen from time to time.
Sorry, wandering.
What do people feel are the needs of the group right now so I can start fiddling?

Just about anything or anyone would help.
PC position filled in the rulership are thus...We've got a ranger (Brandt) as a General
A cavalier (Christian) as our Ruler
and a cleric (Bydar) as High Priest (Spiritual cruise director ;) )
We just lost our Treasurer and Magister, but I am pretty sure if one of the NPCs have a position you prefer (See the Charis Kingdom tracker) we can shuffle things around.. though I admit, I think we've all taken to having a Medusa Enforcer
As for class and party situations, Christian seems to be our main frontliner and he's also a good "face" thanks to high Charisma and a diplomacy skill that's pretty amazing.
Brandt is our best guide/tracker and a fierce switch hitter from bow to melee to back again...
Bydar is mostly a healer with some buffs, though he assists on some social rolls now and then.
My advice would be to play what you like... we're short an arcane type* or a trap finder but the former needn't be a pure arcane class if you enjoy multiclasses or the like, and so far the lack of the latter hasn't hurt us too badly ;)
* -I have another person I contacted who mentioned they might be interested in a blasting arcane type. As far as I'm concerned you signed up first so you get first dibs on what will bring you the most fun but that might take the pressure off you if you want to try a non blaster etc.
As for races, All Core and Featured Races allowed is the original restriction, but given our recent in game history you might be allowed a kobold or even a Lizardfolk (But check with our GM on that) should that be a dream of yours.
Welcome.
First and foremost, play what makes you happy. I have always pushed for players to play what they like and what they are comfortable with. We do have limited sneaky (thief) stuff and arcane if this helps at all.
I have no problem letting another take the arcane route, so am working on the sneaky thieving type who will be applying for the job of Treasurer (with amazing references which may or may not be forged).
And a Medusa enforcer??? :)

I'll go ahead and let the blaster wanna be know to post in here then if they still want.
And I'm sure the ink on the references will at least be dry :)
And a Medusa enforcer??? :)
OH yes, Sapphira has been an interesting addition
Hiya!
I'm SR and I'll be your designated arcanist (sorcerer) for the evening! Nice to meet ya'll.
And for that 'wanna be' crack, Bydar, you shall rue the day. :P
I do have a few questions regarding my build and the parameters...
1. Standard cash for 7th level?
2. Are there any limits on how we spend it, i.e. no more than 50% on one item, etc.?
3. It looks like Elephant in the Room rules are in play, yes?
4. It looks like Background Skills are also being used, yes?
5. HPs. Based on the recruitment thread it seems that I take MAX HP for the first 4 levels then roll or take Half HP rounded up, whichever is better. Is that correct?
6. ... OK, this is going to sound like a weird question but, how combat 'effective' should I make my sorcerer? Should I build for serious lethality or step it down a bit? As a reference point, my sorc could be tossing a 10d6+20 DAM Fireball. Is that too far above the power curve of the campaign?
Pardon, the wanna be was more as to your intent, not meant as a doubt ;)
At 7th level, lots of booms and zaps in reach
Oh, thank you stormraven, I missed the elephant in the room part of it. Which is great. And was just assuming background skills, but assuming is never a good thing to do.
Okay, I think I have something to start with, let me know if anything should change. I'll work on a profile if the character is acceptable.
Summary: Elenora Brisbee has been an accountant/barrister/pirate, finding herself, through no fault of her own, on the wrong side of the law more times than not, so she is looking for employment that might lead to another outcome other than a noose.
She is a very human-looking Undine, on the shorter and plumper sides of the body chart, who can throw around hundreds of pounds of material with her odd little mind. If that wasn't enough, she has some of the sharpest eyes and ears of anyone you might meet, plus she has a pet monkey
(Undine female, Telekineticist, archetype psychokineticist using wisdom instead of constitution with one dipped into unchained rogue for trapfinding and lots of class skills with carnivalist archetype for a familiar, not sure where to put her alignment cause she has been more of a CN in her life, but to fit in she would be doing her best to act CG)
“Thank you, lord D’Elagante for your time and consideration.[b]” The short roundish woman bows quickly, too quickly making her greenish hair flop and her tightly held stachel jostle something fierce. But just as quick, she is back to straight, pushing her hair over her shoulder and readjusting her case to her side. “[b]As the introduction letter, hopefully, said, my name is Elenora Brisbee, and I be wishing to apply for the open position of head accountant for your esteemed and budding kingdom.” She beams a quick delightful smile, then without waiting for the motion to continue, she dips her head down, almost dislodging her round glasses, into a heavy focused rummaging in her bag, before retrieving a smart-looking attache case, from which several fine letters are pulled.
The primely attired interviewee shuffles hurriedly to the table where the lord and his officials are sitting. “My references, Lords.” She hands duplicates to the general and high priest. She has one more copy but frowns slightly when she doesn’t see anyone else in attendance. “I had heard of a Miss Sapphira? It doesn’t matter, another time.” She brushes her question aside and then turns her full attention to Lord D’Elagante. “As you can see I have served several fines houses Brevory, most notably Lord and Lady Canderlilly…”
At this point a small cough interrupts her, and the high priest whispers something to his lord, which should be so low no one other than the attendee should be able to hear, but the pale-eyed young woman narrows those eyes on the cleric and corrects herself before being called out
“I mean, of course, not the real Lord and Lady Canderlilly, which everyone knows perished nearly a half-century ago in the freezing sea. I meant I served the folks that were posing at the Lord and Lady. For taxes reasons. But accounting is accounting no matter which side of the pickets you rest on.”
Her plump lip slips from her beaming smile to being worried between her teeth before she sighs “And the next letter that says IS from esteemed merchant vessel which I served as quartermaster on, and was truly such, but I DID serve on it after it had been claimed by Tessa Fairwind, who is a very notable pirtate. But I was still quartermaster, and you should be able to see that running a tight and accurate measure of supplies is even harder when the crew is full of scallywags and scoundrels.”
Elenora frets a little, holding the attache case tight to her chest. She looks to the door behind her, from where she entered, still left cracked open. For a moment it looks like she means to flee, but then a small furry head, the size of a child’s fist, pokes through the crack and shrieks encouragingly.
A nod in her monkey’s direction later, Elenora turns back, strength in her eyes and a hand on her hips “Despite where I did my job, I do it well, I promise you will not be disappointed. If that isn’t enough, well, I can also do this.”
Holding out her hand palm up, she lifts into the open air. Then heavy oak table the officials are sitting at lifts just as far. No enchantments spoken, no complex gestures, no magic that can be seen. It just lifts. “And I can breathe underwater.”

One more question... is it a requirement to take a Kingmaker trait?
Welcome to our new players!
To answer stormraven's questions...
1) Yes, standard cash for level 7
2) No restrictions on how you spend that starting cash
3) Yes, Elephant in the Room rules are in play
4) Yes, Background Skills are in play
5) For HP, you get the max HP for your first 4 levels, then you gain the average for the hit die for all subsequent levels.
6) When running games and building encounters I don't go too lethal or overly difficult, so you don't need to worry about maximizing your character's effectiveness.
7) No, taking a Kingmaker trait will not be required.
And as for our medusa enforcer, Sapphira is an NPC I first developed for a home game many years ago, and she has reappeared in a few other games I've run since. Basically, she has seen several of her sisters and cousins die from antagonizing adventurers, so she has concluded that it's better to cooperate with the adventurers. Her alignment is Lawful Evil because she's motivated by greed and self-preservation, but she recognizes that her best chance at accomplishing those goals is by working with you instead of against you.
Thanks! I’ll have my character finished and posted tonight.
Sorcerer+ up!
I added an icon for Cenna on the Lizard King encounter map... for when it is needed.
Got a profile done.
does Cenna have any background information.?
I wasn't sure how the GM was planning to drop us in the game so I didn't put a biography together for her. If you are looking for a general idea of her background, I can certainly build that out.
I am not sure what the GM would want, it was more for me personally. I was trying to get an understanding of what she is like.
Fair enough. I've tossed in spoilers with her backstory, appearance, and personality. They might need a bit more editing... but it should give you a rough idea.
Cenna, I enjoyed the way you weaved in traits and classes into the background!
Cenna, I enjoyed the way you weaved in traits and classes into the background!
Seconded, it was a nice touch!
EDIT: Like the images provided for both!
Thanks. It helps me build a cohesive story.
