Curse of the Crimson Throne for PF2e by DM Doctor Evil

Game Master DM DoctorEvil

Out of character issues/questions/interactions take place here

Congratulations on making the cut! Lots of very good submissions.

Please make sure to create an alias for your character and link your backstory and crunch there. I will be reviewing the crunch in fine detail now that we have a table set, so you may get some build-related questions for me. Please remind me if you are new to PF2, and need any help with crunch, rules, gameplay etc. Think it will be pretty easy to pick up even if you don't have any TTRPG experience.

Feel free to chat amongst yourselves and change up gear, feats, etc in order to help optimize the group as you see fit. Once I've cleared you, please run any changes by me for approvals.

Also, make sure your backgrounds contain reference ot Gaedren Lamm and how he has wronged you in some way -- using the AP backgrounds is encouraged but not required.

If you wish to have some shared backstory, then you can work that out here as we get ready for opening game.

Lastly, tell me something else about your characters (not the crunch) that we don't already know. What are their loves/hates? What is their motivation? Who are they close to or distant from? What in their history makes them unique enough to become Korvosa's heroes? Just examples of what you might say....Your choice 100%

Again, welcome. Look forward to the game with you.

EDIT: Feel free to dot in on the Gameplay tab, but then please delete your dot. Will have something up in Gameplay soon enough

Cloistered Cleric of the group reporting for duty!

I always wanted to play CoCT, so thanks for this chance!

EDIT: As for possible ties to other PCs, Lenrelle has the addicted friend Background. I didn't give a name or even if the friend lived just in case someone else wanted to make a connection that way. The 'friend' could be another PC's family member or whatever.

I have some behavior and other history bits that might explain her motivations, but I'll get some more quirks and such listed tomorrow. :)

Hello! I have stats and backstory in my bio, as per my submission. This is my first PF2 character, so it's very possible that I got something wrong. I've played a bunch of different systems through the years, so it's more learning how PF2 works and keeping PF1 separate in my head. I'm also in a 3.5/PF1 game right now, so those rules are still present in my mind. Corrections welcome when I slip up.

Lenrelle, if I didn't submit Talindra, I was going to submit a cleric of Sarenrae, so it will be fascinating to play with you :) The Dawnflower captured my interest all the way back when PF1 was new. I think it could make sense that we know one another. We both serve NG deities, and in particular the NG tenets for the champion class all focus on redemption, so lots in common. Maybe even friends?

Lastly, tell me something else about your characters (not the crunch) that we don't already know.

Wanting me to reveal all my secrets already? Ugh, fine. :P But seriously, this is something I was going to post about anyway! Elora was Talindra's lover. They're about the same age, both elves. Her death at the hands of Gaedren Lamm (or his agents) is Talindra's first real experience of loss, the first time she's lost someone really close to her. It's devastating. Normally, Talindra is sweet, bubbly, curious. Normally, she spends her free time creating, going to the theater, singing in the choir, writing in the park. Now, she's morose, even forlorn. The Shelynite clergy enjoin their faithful to work through their feelings with art, but the muse hasn't spoken to Talindra since she found out. Confronting those responsible is going to be a grueling ordeal and I'm not sure how she's going to deal with it. Referencing the AP background trait, the ring would obviously be Elora's ring of betrothal.

Dotting in with Perivolt’s actual alias. This will be this alias’s 10th post locking in the name which is why I had held off in the recruitment thread. Committed now!

Background threading with Perivolt could be potentially very easy as long as our gracious GM likes the proposition of the Ornelas clan breeding like rabbits. Any of the other characters could have been friendly or acquaintances with any of Perivolt’s siblings or cousins or (if older) parents, step-mothers, aunts and uncles.

If you prefer a slightly tougher edge relationship perhaps Perivolt encountered your character during the year or so of investigation he’s been doing looking into the disappearance of his brother. I can imagine people all hunting lost loved ones may come in contact and share information. Maybe one of you is the reason Perivolt now has Lamm on his radar.

Something yet unknown about Perivolt? Hmm, as mentioned the Ornelas children are encouraged to be constantly in competition, so aside from his half-sister Redwella and his missing half-brother Graykos, he is not likely to trust anyone with the Ornelas name except perhaps his own mother who is busy being the first wife for dear old dad.

The only other thing I had planned to reveal is one of a possibly budding relationship with a pretty female Summoner studying at the Acadamae. It’s still very new though, and Perivolt hasn’t yet determined if she’s just having some fun or perhaps has ulterior motives given his family name and connections. Redwella seems suspicious of her. Who knows if she’ll even remain relevant to the story that unfolds. Will Perivolt even see her again? Only the GM can say for sure.

I have updated Talindra's background to go into (even more) detail, including her connection to Lamm.

This could work! Talindra would like having someone smart around to make decisions about how to find Lamm. She would certainly try to work with the local constabulary, but I imagine they won't be all that helpful, so she'll want help.

Hi everyone. I'm quite excited to get to go on this trip through Korvosa with all of you.

For ways that Sable could have met the others before the start of the AP. Given that she works and lives in some of the seedier parts of Korvosa, she's aware of Shiver and knows addicts and dealers. She might have talked with Lenrelle, or known her addicted friend.

She could have performed at a Festival of Shelyn, and met Talindra there, and I can certainly see her having met at least one Ornelos family member at some point.

Something unknown about Sable. Sable loves the exotic. Items, food, and people from far-off places is how she defines exotic. She's also a bit of a thrill junky, which is one of the reasons, perhaps the main one, that she not only works at Eel's End, but that she likes it.

She's skeptical of the Guard, as she doesn't believe that they try very hard to help the poor, but she doesn't actively dislike them.

I'll be working on my profile next and it will be up shortly.

Thanks for the selection, I look forward to this too:
Here is why Billi is so riled up. As a dwarf, family clan and honor were everything to him. He leaves his family because he is overshadowing his older brother after his older brother dies trying to prove himself. His parents may have traded in Korvosa looking for Billi and get killed in an alley. He follows to investigate and finds they were brutally killed and gets addicted to shiver--losing honor and self respect.
Billi has lost everything, and wants to stop the drug trade and find those responsible. At the moment he is completely closed off to others, and like our GM said, he is rubbing dirt and beer in his emotional wounds.
He lost a game of dice to Sable, but remembers she was nice and somehow spoke dwarven.

Some of the GM's questions answered... (A few repeats from her fluff)
What are her loves/hates?
Lenrelle tries not to hate anyone, though she is almost ashamed of how strongly she despises Lamm now. She's convinced the man is a cancer that must be cut out. She is of Chelish blood, but finds the distaste against Varisians and Shoanti because of just their blood monumentally stupid. It's one thing to be cautious about a man because he's a known mugger. It's another to be so because he's Varisian. She loves music, having performed at the temple's choir. She is, of course, a morning person, which may make her already chipper and positive attitude annoying to nightowls but she tries not to be mean about it. She enjoys mutton more than Fish. She loves her family, of course but most of them are in the village (not so far away) that she grew up in.
What is her motivation?
As mentioned in her story, Lenrelle wants to make a difference. She's called to the path of healing almost as much as she is to Sarenrae by devotion. Helping the sick and injured gives her purpose. The fact Lamm has proven that sometimes that's not the fix and you have to do more is definitely getting her out of her comfort zone. She has fixed the results of violence many a time, she has not yet inflicted it outside of surgery though she's had basic training in scimitar and knows sling use from her village days. Yet having a friend addicted and the authorities doing nothing has driven her to such. Lenrelle sometimes neglects to think about what SHE wants. She doesn't see herself as worthy of higher ecclesiastical rank, and tends to think of wealth as how she could help others. Personal ambitions are one area she's neglected to reflect on and she may yet surprise herself when she realizes Sarenrae is okay with her having her own nice things.
Who are they close to or distant from?
With the exception of one family member, a cousin who came to the city as an apprentice himself, Lenrelle's nearest family is in a nearby village. She visits rarely, sends messages more often. She has quite a few friends at the temple of Sarenrae itself, but if you asked her if she had a BEST friend she'd have to admit she wasn't sure (Edit: Though she may have lost one as her motivation, and there's an elf champion volunteering ;) ). Her infrequent forays into the city and her incoming patients have had her encounter the poor and working class and she's made some friends there.
What in their history makes them unique enough to become Korvosa's heroes?
She cares for the unfortunate ,and those worse off than she. The city is full of those types. With authority refusing to do something about Lamm, she's stepping out of her comfort zone to try herself. She's not a fool, she'll need help, and that means she'll be a good one for encouraging team work. She's not the leader type, but she might be a good peacemaker or will try to be.

Lenrelle, if I didn't submit Talindra, I was going to submit a cleric of Sarenrae, so it will be fascinating to play with you :) The Dawnflower captured my interest all the way back when PF1 was new. I think it could make sense that we know one another. We both serve NG deities, and in particular the NG tenets for the champion class all focus on redemption, so lots in common. Maybe even friends?

I like that! I'm actually a big fan of Shelyn btw ;) I don't know how tight the actual temples in Korvosa are but I agree it makes sense Talindra and Lenrelle might know each other and I don't see why they wouldn't be friends with common interests such as music etc. And then, of course, both have seen the evil of Lamm and who he has hurt. I can see Lenrelle trying to support Talindra in her grief. Heck, maybe it was Talindra insisting the Lamm had to go down that got the healer to decide the same.

For ways that Sable could have met the others before the start of the AP. Given that she works and lives in some of the seedier parts of Korvosa, she's aware of Shiver and knows addicts and dealers. She might have talked with Lenrelle, or known her addicted friend.

Sounds good! Thank you

I love it!

Proposed Connections with other PCs (Please let me know what you think):

Talindra and Lenrelle- The two are friends, each understanding what it's like to have a divine calling even if to different gods. They both love music, and may have sung in friendly competions between choirs or just together for fun. Recently, both are further bonding over fury at Lamm and his actions and the hurt his actions have caused. One thing they do agree on, while Redemption should be offered, Lamm has spurned it and so he's just got to go.

Perivolt and Lenrelle- Lenrelle often laments that nobles seem to think Shiver is a problem for 'the poors' and don't do enough to help the less fortunate. Perivolt, at least, is DOING something or trying to and that would impress her, even if arcane magic is quite beyond her ken and can make her nervous. Once the awe wears off, his slight moments of superiority may cause her to look heavenward but she also sees he's a good man and brilliant. Perhaps Talindra is the one who will introduce them properly. Perivolt may have seen her out and about healing the less fortunate, or noticed she too is seeking out Lamm.

Sable and Lenrelle- Lenrelle first met Sable near Eel's End. Sable , being connected, might have heard of a priestess coming about to offer healing now and then to the down trodden, but when Lenrelle started to ask questions about Shiver in general, and Lamm in particular, the two got to talking. Lenrelle was quite grateful for the help (And maybe extra grateful if warned to stay away from certain mugging locations she didn't know about). Lenrelle likes to sing, but Sable? She's a bard and her dancing holds the younger cleric in awe. Lenrelle sees the older woman as quite worldly, which she is compared to the cleric, but also with a dangerous lifestyle. Lenrelle understands it can be hard to get out of poverty, but Sable seems to LIKE the seedier side of life, and that likely mystifies Lenrelle.

Bill Hardstone and Lenrelle- If Lenrelle saw Bill in his Shiver Addict days, she would have tried to aid him in getting off of it as she tried to help others. How much she was able to help is up in question, but she's seen how hard it is for addicts to break the habit and would be impressed. Yes, she would ask who supplied him and if Lamm was mentioned, might go on a tirade about that evil man. Or it's possible she hasn't met him at all, but Sable mentioned winning a game against this dwarf who was having a very bad day

;)

I'll wait for our other two PCs to post before brainstorming on what might be connections there. Folks, let me know if the above works for you or doesn't, or if you want to tweak it some.

Continuing Billi's slide, he loses in a game of dice to an attractive lady and was embarassed when she blushed at his choice dwarven cursewords. Hopefully their next meeting he can make it up to her, but Billi is in a deeper slide than Robert Downey Jr at the moment.

I kind of want a scene where Bilil gets to wield a bejeweled magic gauntlet now , and snaps his fingers :)

Talindra and Lenrelle- The two are friends, each understanding what it's like to have a divine calling even if to different gods. They both love music, and may have sung in friendly competions between choirs or just together for fun. Recently, both are further bonding over fury at Lamm and his actions and the hurt his actions have caused. One thing they do agree on, while Redemption should be offered, Lamm has spurned it and so he's just got to go.

The two faiths have similar aims, so I imagine there'd be collaboration at the very least. Bonding over common interests, common enemies, and grief is very realistic. Talindra is going to lean pretty hard on her new friends, especially so far from home. Everything here sounds great!

She could have performed at a Festival of Shelyn, and met Talindra there, and I can certainly see her having met at least one Ornelos family member at some point.

This works for me! Especially given Talindra's penchant for the arts and basically coming of age in the church, that's where she's going to turn first for solace. It's all sour for her right now because of what's happened, but as I said above, she doesn't have anyone or anything else out here. It's all she knows; she's still quite young, after all. A few acquaintances at the temple, sure, but her family and friends are all back in Absalom.

His parents may have traded in Korvosa looking for Billi and get killed in an alley. He follows to investigate and finds they were brutally killed and gets addicted to shiver--losing honor and self respect.

Billi has lost everything, and wants to stop the drug trade and find those responsible. At the moment he is completely closed off to others

Oooh. Even in her own rough emotional state, Talindra is still going to want to help. Maybe the two meet at a tavern near / in Eel's End. Talindra is despondent, frustrated, trying to numb the pain of her loss. She knows better, but right then a pint (or several) would really take the edge off. She spots Billi at the bar, sits near, but not next to, him, and starts keeping pace with his drinking. The two have a few rounds, and maybe she surprises Billi with her ability to hold her alcohol--at least for a scrawny elf (that 16 constitution helps a lot!). Thoughts?

Sable would most assuredly guide Lenrelle away from the more dangerous areas, and she would give advice about Shiver. Sable wouldn't use it, its side effects aren't good for dancers after all, but she wouldn't be a crusader against it, especially not in public.

That said, she'd be more than happy to help Lenrelle work with people to get them off it, and would try and arrange for Billi to meet with the cleric, to help the dwarf kick the habit.

Not my first 2nd ed character, but not far from it. But I've seen a few systems before, so I think I'm probably pretty close, mechanically. I show all my work in the profile, so if there's something wrong, an experienced hand should spot it easy enough.

Based on the above descriptions, the only one I think Iaco is likely to have crossed paths with is Perivolt, and that (at least initially) only tangentially as they are searching for their loved ones. All of you are just too rich to move in Iaco's circles, and only he seems to have cause to move into that space despite the money.

Just realized I don't think I've picked languages, yet. Taldane, obviously. But he gets two more. What's appropriate for the bottom feeders?

I think Iaco's dirtiest little secret is just how competent he is, despite his origins. Not what you meant, though.

I think I'll run with . . .. How much he finds himself fighting temptation. Temptation to desert his family. Temptation to escape into any of the available drugs. Temptation to attempt establishing himself as a petty crime lord and work his way up. In other words: temptation to ignore his responsibilities and to take the easy path.

Edit: I find it funny that the filthiest Rogue picture I saw is from CotCT . . ..

Billi and Talindra would be great drinking buddies. Although Billi is highly suspicious of elves, one in armor with a shield would immediately get his respect. One trained to use them well, even more. One that can drink more than two mugs, well wow.
At the moment, Billi probably follows her trying to figure out how she is coping so well. And he has mentioned he is out to stop the shiver trade.
Although everyone knows elves are flighty and lack purpose and are easily distracted by fancy things like music and art, Billi is sure Talindra needs the help only a dwarf can provide if she gets into real trouble.
And Billi does know why he can be a hero: He is a dwarf.

Oh, I noticed 2e characters stats add up to 60+18 = 78 cool.

Goodness!

Thanks for taking the ball and running with it. You don't all have to have connections with each other, but a few make the cohesiveness of the party somewhat more likely after an incident brings you all together.

I will start looking at detailed builds tonight and it'll probably take me a few days. Expect to start the game by the weekend, if you can wait that long.

I am excited to run my favorite (so far) AP with you all. Appreciate your work and the interest out of the gate! Let's hope it continues.

Maybe not, but it's a ton of fun and helps us get a sense for one another's roleplaying styles. This helps with both the IC cohesiveness you mention but also the OOC cohesiveness! If we're going to stick around for an entire PbP AP (several years of commitment), this kind of thing is super important.

I am excited to run my favorite (so far) AP with you all. Appreciate your work and the interest out of the gate! Let's hope it continues.

That's really cool that it's your favorite! I haven't been able to get through a full AP myself (not for lack of trying), but the themes I've read about in the player's guide for this AP are quite topical and have been interests of mine since I was a teenager. Despite her heart being in the right place, despite her being dedicated to doing the right things, she was born into a large amount of privilege, as Ioca says. I'm super interested to see how that plays out. :D

I agree with Talindra, It's been a lot of fun seeing how we can weave connections with each other before the start. In my case, at least, it's also helped me flesh out Sable a bit more, so she'll be easier to RP when the game starts.

It's certainly helping me flesh out Lenrelle a bit more as well ;)

Okay, so Lenrelle hasn't met Iaco yet, which is fine. She can't know everyone.

I still need to name Lenrelle's friend and decide if he or she died. Which I will do by this weekend

Based on the above descriptions, the only one I think Iaco is likely to have crossed paths with is Perivolt, and that (at least initially) only tangentially as they are searching for their loved ones. All of you are just too rich to move in Iaco's circles, and only he seems to have cause to move into that space despite the money.

I actually think that's perfect. Perivolt would most likely have been extremely underinformed on how to dress or act in such an environment. Perhaps, Ioca initially thought to fleece Perivolt of any apparent wealth on sight, but ended up forming a loose partnership after hearing why Perivolt was running around the rougher areas. I imagine any of Ioca's close associates would assume he is just running a long con on Perivolt when Perivolt keeps coming around and seeking Ioca's counsel and company. Meanwhile Ioca would benefit from Perivolt's connections in regards to rumors and information for Ioca's own search and may not be playing Perivolt but actually interested in maintaining the quid pro quo relationship.

The other upside would be Ioca's potential introduction to Talindra which could lead to Lenrelle and Billi as well even just in passing. Assuming I take the bait on Talindra's proposition for encountering Perivolt.

I'd love to actually play out all of these scenes we're discussing! Any thoughts on this? It's not quite gameplay, as I don't think we'll need any rules adjudication, but putting it here seems messy.

I did get to look at Lenrelle in detail tonight. There are couple of things.

1) she has no armor (AC 14) just making sure that is intentional. Makes sense for the build, but one never knows.

2) She has a sling but no bullets. 10 bullets is 1 cp, so not going to break the bank. If you buy, I have you at 8.33gp left

I don't know why my version of Hero Lab will not bring forward the Protection spell, but it won't. So if I say you don't have it later, correct me.

Otherwise, I think her build/crunch is solid, and she is good to go.

I will be looking at the others over time.

Clerics start untrained in all armor types. Warpriest gains some armor training, but Lenrelle is a cloistered cleric and they don't. So, it seems to me her lack of armor is intentional.

1. What Sable said. If I read right, the Doctrine of Cloistered means no armor proficiency. So she can't even use leather. So she'll be hiding behind her Champion and fighter allies a lot. I think the wizard and she will be hungering over any protective rings and bracers they find

2. OOOPS, yeah, I totally forgot ammo so thanks for the catch! 10 bullets, 1 cp it is

@Talindra: I'm never opposed to roleplaying anything out! The only GM interference I'll demand is the setting. That way we're not describing places or locales that may step on the story's toes. Once we have a setting neutral location for interactions (I'm guessing some kind of seedy tavern—charity distribution center by day, den of ill-repute by night?—), I'd be more than happy to RP something for how Perivolt stumbles his way around the rougher patches of the city and falls in your lap.

@Dm DoctorEvil: Any thoughts on this?

Billi was edited to account for all his gold EXCEPT for tracking bulk. With an 18STR I was lazy and assumed encumbrance would not be an issue--I may look at other characters to fix it.

I also noticed Pathinder 2e is particular about which weapons are "available", and when Billi took dwarven ancestry it unlocked all dwarven weapons for him. The shoanti bolas in his hair are for flavor--they were in the player's guide and seemed really neat. For now we can treat the bolas as a "hook" -- and for 1gp they are worth the badass look and respect he can get from Shoantis.

Sorry team, not posting for me tonight. Too much work related stuff. Should have some time tomorrow to make it up.

No worries! Life happens. Thank you for the update, seriously.

A beginning is the time for taking the most delicate care that the balances are correct.

You taking the time to keep us updated shows that you care about communication and I appreciate it. :)

I echo what Talindra said.

Welcome, and it just seems like common courtesy, when possible.

Digging into Sable Rose next.

Sable Rose looks fine and is ready to go. Thanks!

The only thing I noted is that items like your HP, saves AC etc are not part of your profile. I don't really need them there, but you might.

@DM DoctorEvil: Any thoughts on a neutral setting for our PCs to RP and hobknob before game start?

I'm not going to make a big deal about encumbrance unless something gets out of hand (carry 40 weapons etc). I hear you about the bolas. For now, stylish only.

@DM DoctorEvil: Any thoughts on a neutral setting for our PCs to RP and hobknob before game start?

If you really want. I will likely not referee your interactions too much as I am doing some homework of my own, but I will put you in a general tavern in gameplay and let you run for a bit.

Sable Rose looks fine and is ready to go. Thanks!

The only thing I noted is that items like your HP, saves AC etc are not part of your profile. I don't really need them there, but you might.

I must have forgot to put them in. I'll get that fixed, just to have the information there. Thanks for pointing that out.

Ok, I put a neutral site hook in the Gameplay tab for you to work from. Sorry Billi for the liberties, but thought it was in-character as I understand it.

I may have something to work off using this location anyway. Feel free to interact, but its unlikely all of you will become best friends before the story starts in earnest.

As I understand it, this should just be for brief "Ah, that's why you look familiar!" type RPs.

Make of it what you will!

Perivolt: Looked at our build and it seems very close. Just a few things you CAN add, but certainly don't have to

1) Languages - with your INT modifier you can add up to 4 languages besides Common. Seems like that would fit with his scholarly background and upper crust upbringing, but totally your call

2) Spellbook - you can get up to 10cantrips and 6 1st level spells in your Spellbook to chose from when preparing for the day. Your sheet lists only up to the amount you can cast but you can select more to have available and create more flexibility. Again, your call if you add them, but they are free now, and will cost you to add once the game begins.

The rest seems all good. LMK if you complete your spellbook and want to ad some languages (might not allow certain things). Otherwise, ready for adventures.

The spell Friendfetch had me going, but it apparently is from an Strength of Thousands AP text. Didn't know that one. You win a Hero Point for stumping the GM....

So glad you proofread me! As I mentioned I plugged in whatever Pathbuilder told me to add, and nothing barked at me for missing some spells. I will definitely get those added though!

Friendfetch sounded pretty useful, so hopefully it turns out to be!

@everyone: since the current RP thread predates the beginning of the story, how far in the past are we? A couple months, a couple weeks? Perivolt's been at his search for some time, so he will obviously appear and behave differently depending on how green he is to the search when this takes place.

It seems reasonable that the time offset would be small. A few days, maybe a couple weeks at most. This way it's easier to justify the rest of us not making a great deal of progress in our investigations to find Lamm, and it means Billi isn't too far into his Shiver addiction. I'm very open to other perspectives, and if someone is particularly attached to another idea I'm happy to go along with that. :)

It turns out that Eel's End, where Sable works, has its own entry in the Pathfinder Wiki. I added that to my profile, just so I have it close at hand, but feel free to peek if you'd like to see the entry.

I already feel bad, our GM is playing Billi better than I can!!

Point of order, Billi is in REALLY bad shape because this is the first time he has ever had watered down ale in his life!!
