[i][b]Breachill’s local government has a long history of hiring adventurers to tackle challenges its residents face that fall outside the scope of the town guard’s duties. The merchant whose expected shipment of goods hasn’t yet arrived, the shepherd whose
herd of goats mysteriously died in the night, the farmer whose entire season’s harvest was ruined or stolen—investigating and resolving any of these matters are considered good jobs for adventurers, and so Breachill’s town council uses its resources to hire heroes as needed. These monthly meetings, known as the Call for Heroes, are distinct from the council’s normal regular governance meetings, a tactic that separates such matters from regular municipal business and shows the townspeople that the council takes seriously the issues that are often most important to them personally. Your characters have decided to attend this month's call for adventure to see if they can find a job that will set them on a path to greatness.[i][b]
What am I looking for?
- People who can post at least once per 48 hours, barring of course real life intervention.
- People who communicate. I'm available here, on discord, whatsapp and several other places. Need some time off, let me know. Have an issue, let me know. Wan't to quit, please don't, but if you really want to, let me know.
- People who can follow instructions. I have a few rules regarding posting and rolling and such which will be in the campaign overview, please follow those.
- People who can cooperate. This campaign is geared towards people working together. The occasional conflict is fine, but characters (or players)who only derive joy out of messing with party members have no place here.
Character creation.
- Only the CRB and the AoA players' guide are allowed
- Standard ability generation.
- 150SP starting money
Dot.
Interested!
Is a mounted Halfling ok?
Yay! Ever since it was announced I’ve been interested in this adventure, consider this a dot. I’ll start working on a character ASAP.
Dotting!
I'm thinking of submitting a LG gold draconic sorcerer with the intention of going into champion dedication. I want to try out the 2nd Edition rules, and right now no one I know wants to change to PF2.

This is ElbowtotheFace's submission, just have the crunch so fat and thinking about a back story, but can some look the character over for me please?

Same here. I am thinking to draw up something vanilla, though, to give me to me to focus on the basics of the new rules. My plans always change when the party make-up starts to gel.
Dotting for interest, thinking fighter. Surprise people don't want to change to PF2, I find the rules and mechanics easier to deal with. And with backgrounds in PF2, it encourages new players to write good backgrounds, or new or old players are like, what do I want to write as a background, so you pick one and then create a backstory now that you have something to work with.

I think it's just the issue of investment in books and development of system mastery that make people hesitant to switch.
I was initially skeptical about a second edition for Pathfinder but I'm getting into it now. It probably feels more different than it really is. I really would like to try out the new Bard. Count me in.
I'll leave recruitment open until the 11th, afterwards I'll tally characters and pick the team.

So what are you looking for beyond a statement of interest?
Very, very interested. Don't have yet a character concept in mind at the time being, but would love to play this campaign as my first 2nd Edition experience. What kind of character would you find more fitting for this adventure?

Have you grabbed the Player's Guide yet? (In case you weren't aware it was available...)

Oh yeah, forgot about it! I'll read it ASAP!
So in the campaign info, you say standard ability score distribution, so you don’t want us to use the character creation process from the CRB?
I haven’t analyzed the point equivalent of a PF2 character built with the new guidelines - might be an interesting comparison.

I assume standard ability generation means the default ABC method.
I'd love to play 2e and go through the AP. I've only browsed the prd so far but I really like what I'm seeing.
As far as character goes I'd be looking at either a Druid or a Ranger, or maybe something else with the dedication for either of those.
This is Dax' submission. Raff Keegan, Thug Seeking Redemption.
Raff is a well built human man with the scars to show that he has been in numerous fights during his life. He tends to wear simple clothing.
Raff stood there drenched with sweat, covered in blood, and heavy with shame. This was his most difficult fight yet and he had emerged victorious. He should have been elated, but he wasn’t. Raff felt disgust at what he had become. He stood over his opponent, with the crowd cheering and calling for blood and wondered how did he start on this path?
Raff was a rather large boy. His father was a baker and allowed Raff to sample any and all of the sweet delicacies he wanted. His size made him the object of ridicule. Eventually the childish taunts and name calling became bullying by a group of boys. After a time, Raff tired of being pushed around while giving away his sweets. One day, he fought back. His first attempt at self defense did not go very well, but the more he fought, the better he got at it. Perhaps that’s how it all started.
He trained and learned and improved until he became the bully of bullies. In time, Raff made those boys pay him not to beat them up. He would start fights just to prove he was the best. His talent and attitude did not go unnoticed. Trask, an up and coming crime boss came to him and offered him a job as a bodyguard. Raff would just need to stand there looking tough as Trask went around collecting debts. It was easy money until a shop owner did not pay. Trask ordered Raff to break his arm. After some hesitation, Raff did. It was easier than he thought it would be and Trask gave him a large bonus for his good work. Perhaps that’s how it all started.
Raff became Trask’s top enforcer and money collector. You paid him what you owed or he hurt you. Somehow, Raff got the idea that he should be the boss. His coup was unsuccessful, but he was able to make it out alive. Raff left town as fast as he could. His wanderings brought him upon a bandit camp where, after a brutal initiation, he was accepted as a member. Perhaps that’s how it all started.
All was going well for him as a bandit until his group ambushed a lone wagon and driver. It turned out to be Cole, Raff’s brother. He was delivering some sweets to a local lord. As Raff tried to talk his gang out of robbing his brother they turned on him. Somehow, he was able to defeat them while his brother ran away. Raff could not return home nor could he go back to the bandit camp. He wandered some more until he came to Breachill. He had vowed that he would not become an enforcer again, but as he looked for work, he realized the only thing he knew how to do was fight. Perhaps that’s how it all started..
In desperate need of money, he came upon a fighting arena. He thought this was a way for him to earn an honest living doing what he does well. That illusion was soon shattered. Now he stands over a defeated opponent, his hand raised to deliver the killing blow. At this ignominious moment he realizes, it does not matter how it all started. All that matters is how it ends. Perhaps this is how it all started…
Updated with background (which can be changed based on relationships with other PCs and such)

As for what I want to know right now, preferably I'd like to know people's prefered class so I can make a balanced party.
I'm very much a "what does the party need" character designer because there are so many I want to try and building my first character for actual play in PF2, that difficulty in deciding increases exponentially.
HOWEVER. I understand that you are not going to be able to make a decision without knowing what people want to play, so I looked at the AoA backgrounds to see what inspiration struck.
I am literally open to playing anything to fill a gap that the party is suffering from, but I am going to start working on a halfling ranger with the emancipated background. For practice, I might work up a dwarven cleric of Sarenrae with the haunting vision background.
And a shout out to Nevynxxx - haven't seen you for a minute, my friend! Hope all is well!
Applying with Hugo Nervin. Concept is a nervous asocial healer alchemist with a slight hero complex. Working from the Haunting Vision background. Stats in profile.
Hugo is born and raised in Isger under Chelaxian rule, growing up in a middle class family in Elidir as their only child. From birth he was plagued by horrific visions of fire, and as such grew up an introverted, terrified child whose parents kept him well-hidden, convinced his visions would attract negative attention. Isolated, over-parented, and privileged he instead invested his time in books and study.
After coming of age, Hugo chose to apprentice to an apothecary, following his personal passion for the weird sciences. Although difficult to work with, he excelled at the work and took a great deal of pleasure in helping others with their ailments. During this time he eventually learned some measure of confidence, and also invested heavily into studying his visions - which he never spoke of. This is when he learned of the Dragon God Dahak, and became obsessed with him.
Upon having a vision of Breachhill, Hugo abruptly quit, using what money he can to purchase supplies and make his way to Breachhill ot join the call for heroes. Whatever he is supposed to do, he knows it is here.
This is Rokar, a draconic sorcerer devotee of Iomedae who looks to multiclass to champion. I have to finish the equipment and write the background.
And a shout out to Nevynxxx - haven't seen you for a minute, my friend! Hope all is well!Life is good PR, thanks. How about you?
Life is indeed good. Hope you see you at another virtual table soon!

I have a last minute submission for this table!
Introducing...
Cris Krestle, CG male half-orc fighter
Ancestry: Human
Background: Reputation Seeker
Class: Fighter
Cris is the son of a couple of half-orcs who moved to Breachill just about twenty years ago. He worked for a bit for Mrs. Howerdell at the Breach Creek Lumbermill as an escort for her lumberjacks, but he always wanted something more. Four years ago he left town and joined a scientific expedition in the jungles of Sargava, hoping to find there the adventures he dreamed of since he was a kid. But something went really wrong there, something he doesn't want to talk about, and so he returned as the only survivor of that trip less than a month ago. But whatever happened in the jungles of Garund didn't change Cris' idea of become an adventurer, and so he decided to answer the Call for Heroes of his hometown.

Karen is the daughter of an Orcish Brewer and a Dwarven Barkeep.
The two of them run a tavern and inn in one of the smaller towns of Andor. Their tavern, The Grilled Goblin, is very popular with adventurers. Karen grew up working in the tavern, helping to serve customers and listening to the stories of the regulars who bragged about their exploits. When Karen came of age, she joined the church of Irori and decided to see if the stories she heard growing up were true by becoming an adventurer.
This is Sha'ir's Alias, I posted earlier about wanting to play a bard?
Here I am!
Ancestry: Half-elf
Class:Bard
Muse:Polymath
Role: Skill-monkey, utility/support caster, mild combat, social stuff.
Ezra Denver is effervescent and dilettantish. He claims that a human relative of his joined the Hellknights but cannot say which order. While he has no intention of joining them, Ezya would love to compose an epic about a suitably dark and brooding Hellknight hero. He loves doing research but his tendency to get distracted is slowing things down. For instance, Ezya can make magic! It came up entirely by accident but a lot of the esoterica he's been perusing added up to his telekinetically throwing a pebble at a poor rat. Purely by accident of course! But he is still very much focused on the Hellknight...
...actually Ezya has been figuring out how to handle an even curve blade. One would think it were just the same as a scimitar but no! He thought of asking his Elven great grandfather but they're not that close...
... also he has been practicing paleography. People wrote so differently in the past! There are hand written texts which almost come across as another language entirely...
... Ezya always likes to quote how the Varisian words for 'home' and 'journey' are the same. He loves that! Home is what he can carry with him as he travels Golarion. Although, that old Hellknight castle might be nice to shack up in for a while...
Good luck to everyone!
Good luck!
Sorry to hear that! Hope the child is feeling better. Take your time.
Absolutely, no worries here. The game must certainly come behind real-life concerns. Take all the time you need.
