Hey everyone! Saw the "check in" message on the recruitment thread. Not sure if there is anything else I'm needed to do at the moment, this is my first time involved in a play by post game on this site so apologizes if I miss something. I promise I'm a quick learner!
Regardless I'm excited to play this adventure with everyone (:

No worries, As soon as everyone has checked in and the last details of your characters have been worked out I will kickstart the adventure and you'll be able to play :)
Checking in! Excited to be a part!

@Ruin Explorer could you tell me which ethnicity is your character?
Checking in with a Fire elemental sorcerer. I think I've got everything done but ready to switch it upas needed.
Quick noob question. How does one add information like AC, race, and the like so that it appears under the name everytime said person posts a message?
Checking in with Nintos! Combat Expertise focused fighter/tank. I am looking forward to being a PC. I currently DM 3 games on the boards and am excited to not be sitting behind the screen!!
I have everything finished but typing out the math of his skills, they are all already picked out. And I am going with Varisian bloodline over the Chelaxian bloodline. Feel free to let me know if there is anything I need to tweak or change.
I have never played or read up on Crypt of the Everflame and I was curious if it was a standard module that has us seeing a level or two, or if it was part of something that continues on.
Thanks for running the game Diaz!

Edit the profile of your PC's alias in the class level area, at least that's how I did it.

You need to add those in the Race, Class/Levels, and Gender entries in your alias' profile.
Hello All!
I am looking forward to this adventure. I actually like our group make-up!
Loges will mostly be Knowledges, Buffs, and a bit of healing as needed. I am of the opinion that healing in combat does not get the job done, as much as preventing the damage potential.
I would also suggest/request that someone else is also able to use wands.
@Darknessman Welcome to the Boards! You can copy/paste someone's tagline into your Character's Profile page on the left side labelled Classes.
Cleric 1 Initiative +8 AC 12 Hp 12/12 Fort +3 Ref +2 Will +5 Perception +8
Just replace info with yours.
Thanks for all the advice guys! Maybe it's because I'm trying to do this on my phone but I can't seem to find way to re-edit my alias' info after I put in the information the first time. Once I get access to a computer I will see if that is indeed the problem.
@Loges the Wise, Drehm does have a point in Use Magic Device though his skills are understandably low. He has a deep fascination with magic but severely lacks the know how to put it into practice!
@Darknessman I find turning my phone landscape-wise allows for easier access to Editing.
I was hoping you were placing points in UMD. Thank you! Just for back-up!
Unless I'm asked to change some things to his back story, which is fine, Krokod "Firetongue" Vargidan is half kelishite. I did this because Maltus Vargidan (the patriarch of the family), at least the brief mention we get of him, is said to have multiple wives and it almost seemed like he collected them based on their potential to have magical offspring. So I figure Krokod's mother being foreign would add to the mystery, and add a touch to Krokod's otherness compared to the locals he grew up with.
That is a very good idea, I sure like it!

:) Glad you like it.
@ Loges, I actually didn't put points in UMD so I'm glad Drehm has it. I was going to put a point in it around Level 2 .
@Dorian 'Grey' That was definitely my issue, thanks for the heads up!
Working on putting the finishing touches now. Will have Drehm check in shortly!
I'll see if I can get the game up and running by tomorrow evening, around 8-9pm. I will make the introductory post in Gameplay as soon as at least four of you have their PCs ready to role, so please let me know as soon as you can if you've finished the character creation phase (statblock and background ready).
Red 5 standing by!
*Looks over character*
I believe we have one slacker sorcerer determined to prove he's got his power under control ready to roll/role
*phew* Okay! I think I am good to go. Pretty heavily borrowed @Nintos's format as I am a big fan! Please double check me though and let me know if I need to add/change anything.
If not, Drehm is both dreading and excited to partake in the ceremony!
Ruin Explorer here. Durst is Taldan ethnicity. I’ll be making some update to the alias later today.
Okay, skills are finished.
Okay, skills are finished.
Nice! And what's your character's ethnicity? From the name I would say Chelaxian, yes?
Yeah that is fine, but he more means into the Kassen culture than anything else.
Sorry for another noob question, but is there anything we need to do to appear on the players/characters tab, or is that a GM specific task? Just wanna be sure I'm not holding anything up!

The player's tab will populate itself as soon as you guys start posting in the Gameplay tab, don't worry :)
Ok, sorry for the delay, today's been more busy than I imagined. Introductory post will be up pretty soon!
Oooooh I see that's what the "dot and delete" message was for. And of course the first time I tried it I forgot to switch to my alias hah. My bad!

No worries, I think everyone in here has been there at first :)
I hope its okay I basically chose my advisor as Drehm's "family". I picture him bouncing around between a lot of family's as he grew up and the easy-going sounding halfling seemed like the choice that would put up with a sour, teenaged half-orc the longest lol.

It's perfect, don't worry. I actually like the idea, I have a soft spot for half-orcs with awful family stories.
I say, between @Darknessman's and @Ridge's posts we're off to a great start!
Now that I'm thinking about your backgrounds, maybe @Ruin Explorer and @Archpaladin Zousha would like to talk about theirs between them? After all, the first is Braggar's disciple, and the latter the dwarf's daughter, maybe you can cook up something nice together!
I'll leave the decision to you, I just thought that giving you a heads up would be useful :)
@Drehm what? Don't want to muck manure at the Temple...lol.
Haha he's more than likely done that job for coin before getting a steady gig at the Seven Silvers. Someone might need to drag him to the Temple otherwise, his lack of understanding of religion makes him a very suspicious half-orc!
I reached out to Zousha about shared backgrounds and got an introductory ‘at home’ post up.
In the meantime, Korkod Firetongue, I had an idea for a connection between our two characters. Durst has an anger problem and got into some altercations before working with Braggar to control his anger. My idea is that in one of these altercations, Korkod accidentally catches Durst on fire, quickly puts it out and apologizes. But Durst, still burning with anger, punches Korkod in the nose. Or something along those lines. Let me know if you’d like to do something like that.

Well, ironically enough, Krokod's backstory has a moment where two years ago a bully accuses him of cheating, slams him against a wall, and then Krokod sets him on fire as his gifts arise for the first time. I don't think that would be Durst though as we'd have to flip the who struck first stuff and Krokod walked away from that fine :)
For Durst and Krokod, we could say months after Krokod's powers broke out, the young sorcerer began to test his powers. Maybe he walked by the smithy, decided to 'help' and heat up the forge only to have it flare and catch Durst's sleeve on fire or ruin whatever he was working on. Krokod helped put it out, tried to charm his way out, got punched in the nose and possibly laid out.
If so, I imagine he thinks Durst is a 'maniac' and tries to avoid him but of course when the adventure begins they have to work together. Of course, Krokod has a huge and mystical family, some of which might want to avenge their own, but it's just as likely a few thought Krokod had it coming or 'now you learned' kind of thing from them. Or that Krokod is too embarrassed to have told his family how his nose got bloodied at all.
How Durst feels about his burst of anger is for you to show in RP I guess. Glares or embarrassed looks or whatever
Something like that?
To everyone in play: please fill the Slides with the information requested.
Done

If it happened at the forge, then Durst would have been chewed out by Braggar, and probably left Durst feeling embarrassed. Then, what if one of Krokod’s family came and threaten Durst after the incident, but didn’t tell Krokod? Now, Durst is also avoiding Krokod, out of both embarrassment and intimidation.

Sure.. How about his overbearing half sister Olga? Not sure which bloodline she has but she's the bossy type and might look out for him.
Durst and me discussed via PM knowing each other since Braggar is Betzolte's dad. What if she knows Krokod too, but hasn't put two and two together regarding the state of affairs between them? Like she's only ever hung out with one or the other and the Quest is the first time all three of them have been part of a group?
Betzolte is an ambitious girl looking to prove herself, and I suggested she's slightly jealous of Durst for getting along better with Braggar than she does. What if she's equally jealous of Krokod, but for him it's because magic comes so easy to him, and because he's just so darn pretty! :P
Well he's got a high charisma and supposed to be LIKABLE but slightly jealous works ;) I mean, the guy IS a slacker so that probably only adds to the 'sorcerers have magic on Easy mode' effect.
I think in return, Krokod would actually delight in the company of Betzolte because she's got magic, but isn't related and thus not likely to order him around, but neither is she skittish around magic. Sure, he might see Betzolete as a little intense, and she studies too much but she's brilliant.. and how does she KNOW so much about history and stuff? That much knowledge would make his head explode, or so he believes.
Sound good?
My thoughts exactly! ;)
Sounds good all around then :)

The Mayor's gonna die, just to teach Krokod a moral lesson!! *GASP*
WIth great power ... wait, this sounds like work
;)
Hey, just wanted to give everyone a heads up. My family leaves today for a week long vacation. I'll have my laptop with me and we will have wifi. I don't expect to miss any days once we reach the 4th in game, but just incase I do that is why.

Thanks for letting us know, and happy vacation!
