Disappearance of Lord Gyr (Inactive)

Game Master ChesterCopperpot

Since I'm not going to get much face-to-face time to playtest the APG classes, I thought it might be fun to run a little homebrew adventure to see how the classes look at medium levels. Our timeline is obviously short, but I think PBP is an interesting way to think about the new character classes and discuss their strength and weaknesses while we explore Golarion a little! I'd love to have a few like-minded people join me.

Adventure Concept:
Lord Gyr of House Gixx has been Primarch of Absalom since 4660 AR, but he mysteriously disappeared during the Fleshforge Seige of 4717. Today, Wynsal Starborn, the acting primarch, and several members of the Grand Council are calling for an official inquiry to put the mystery of the primarch's disappearance to rest. PCs are a group of specialists called together to look into the disappearance.

PC Creation Rules
Level: 11
Classes: APG Playtest classes only.
Standard PC creation rules
Available Materials: Any material from Core, Lost Omens World Guide, and Lost Omens Character Guide is available. PCs can be a member of 1 organization and take regional options from 1 area. (Other uncommon options might be available. Just ask!)
Starting Wealth:
Two methods are available:
1) Choose permanent items of with the following guidelines: 10th: 1, 9th: 2, 8th: 1, 7th: 2 and take 500 gp (If you take permanent weapons and armor this way, start with the base item, including its potency runes. If you want property runes or special materials, you need to pay account for them separately.)
2) Lump sum of 3,200 gp with a maximum purchase limit of 10th level.

Campaign Expectations
Group Composition: This will be for 4 players, one of each playtest class.
Posting Frequency: Due to the timeline of the playtest, I'd like people to commit to posting 2/day during the week and checking in at least once during the weekend.
Timeline: I hope to select a group by tomorrow (11/11) and get characters together to start by Wednesday (11/13) at the latest. The adventure will run until 12/1, so that people have time to do the playtest surveys.

Application: Please post below with your interest and a brief description of the character(s) that you would want to play. For example: "Jirelle: A half-elf swashbuckler from the Shackles." Feel free to list character ideas for a few of your classes--it probably increases your chances of getting picked. No need to create a profile yet.

Selection: I'll be picking a group of 4 consisting of one of each playtest class. I'll be basing my selection on what sounds like an interesting and appropriate party.

Please post if you have any questions!

I'm down. Since I've already got an investigator going, I'll submit a witch. I should be able to get it built tonight, or tomorrow by the latest.

The witch I see playing with a winter witch.

I've been wanting to bring my Half Orc Battle Oracle into 2e so I'll submit mine later today.

I'm also considering a goblin Flames Oracle whose village was burned down.

And a Swashbuckler outlaw Elf trained by a legendary thief.

I'd like to play an Investigator. Already have him written up. Oh wait, lvl 11. I can do that. Just give me the green light that I'm in and I'll get to work. What will I play?

Empiricist. Heavy INT/WIS. So want to see how viable it is in combat with only a 12 DEX/CON

Swashbuckler!!!!

Domtar is a dwarf who has been raised into a circus and after it declare bankrupty, wonder into the wild to duel strangers like in stories. He uses clan daggers.

So here is my mechanical submission. His short form backstory is that he's from New Thassilon, having been revived as one of the original inhabitants of Xin-Edrassil.

I'm still working on gear, but this should give a good indication of what he can do.

Incoming

need to work out some additional equip and write up backstory. Banjae is an Andoran gnome fascinated with crime and law, an obsessive detective always jumping at the chance to solve a puzzle. Extremely well trained in medicine, she knows the anatomy of her foes from the inside out. She sees the gods as powerful alien beings akin to the Eldest, and does not spend any concern with worshiping them.

I mean...I’ll throw my hat into the ring. It’s currently checks watch too late at night for me to actually present a character at this present moment, but I’d be interested in converting my half-elf investigator to 2e. Or my swashbuckler noble (who’s currently 4th level in 1e, but that’s just semantics). Tomorrow’s actually a crazy day for me, so if you don’t pick me ‘cuz I’m taking too long for a character submission then I understand.

Thanks for your interest, folks. I hate turning people down I'm forcing myself to stick to what I posted so we can get some good playtesting done. Everyone's characters sound great!

That said, my selections are:
Vrog Skyreaver with a Hobgoblin Winter Witch
Cyberhero with an oracle
Reckless with a gnome investigator
Gayel Nord with a dwarf swashbuckler

Cyberhero, I think you could roll with either of those oracle concepts, though it looks like Vrog's witch is going to be a little blasty so battle oracle may provide some more variety, but follow your heart.

I'll put a post up in gameplay presently so you can introduce yourselves in character and we'll start in earnest tomorrow. Excited to get started and hope you all enjoy yourselves!

Activate [one-action] Interact; Effect You detach a sphere from the necklace, causing it to glow with orange light. After you activate a sphere, if you or anyone else hurls it (an Interact action with the ranged trait), it detonates as a fireball where it lands. Your toss can place the center of the fireball anywhere within 70 feet, though at the GM’s discretion you might need to make an attack roll if the throw is unusually challenging. If no one hurls the sphere by the start of your next turn, it turns into a non-magical red bead.

not all finish but...

I still need to grab my items, but I thought I would at least give what I have for now.

Alright, well sorry for the double post, but I did my shopping and I think he's right and ready to go.

*crosses fingers that he did it right*

Aarius was raised in an orc tribe with his mother orc, while his father was an honorable human warrior killed in battle a long time ago. Aarius himself was born, quite literally, on the battlefield. Maybe it was the energies of the onsuing fight, maybe it was a blessing from Gorum, maybe it was multiple sources, whatever the case, he seemed to be given a gift into warfare itself. However, it was not until he grew older that his fighting prowess was shown to be more supernaturally gifted than that of his clanmates, however, his ability to fight was rivaled by his gift of the tongue and his spellcasting. Aarius may be a brute, but he is by no means stupid, he sees a lot of benefits from being able to heal on the battlefield.

He ended up leaving the tribe to become an adventurer to find out more about his abilities. He traveled through many places to obtain some of his magical arsenal, including his weapon of choice, a Maul that could strike even ghosts. However, he finds himself more of a bodyguard type, usually those that investigate mysterious disappearances find themselves in very deadly situations, and he is there to lend a hand to help those in their own personal battlefield.
