GM Spazmodeus presents Rise of the Rune Lords

Game Master Spazmodeus

He is tall and skinny, with unstyled, short brown hair and soft blue-grey eyes. His studded leather and bow were gifts from his family so he tries to keep them in good repair.

Two hours later, he plopped a field-dressed deer and a sack of edible organs down on Teodora's butcher cart.

"Save me the tongue, yeh?" he said, already starting to walk away. It was his favourite part, and he knew if he didn't ask, he would be fighting Teodora's husband for it.

2. How long have you been playing TTRPGs? ~ 20 years

3. What's your favorite part about playing TTRPGs? Collaborative storytelling!

4. What do you expect from this game? I'm curious to explore an official AP.

5. What do you expect out of your fellow players? Collaboration, kindness, and wanting everyone to have fun.

6. What do you expect out of me? Communication, and wanting everyone to have fun.

7. Beyond the obvious (generally stuff already prohibited by Paizo's forum rules,) what are your redlines? Are there any topics, themes, or imagery that you absolutely do not want to see in the game? Not off the top of my head.

10 years ago, when Cashmeric was 11 years old: His older siblings, cousin and freinds were:

(his brother) Kazallin 'Kaz' Magravi [18 year old male Varisian]

(his sister) Zeldana 'Zel' Magravi [16 year old female Varisian])

(his cousin) Andrezi 'Drezi' Kesk [16 year old male Varisian])

(Zeldana's best friend and Kazallin's partner) Khismia 'Mia' Bashir [16 year old Kelishite]

(Kazallin's best friend and Zeldana's partner) Ragnar Vargnarssen [18 year old male ulfen]

(Ragnar's younger half-sister and Cash's chiildhood crush) Kalizama 'Kali' Vargnarssdottir [16 year old])

Ten years ago, the six friends left to travel to the birthplace of Kalizama's mother, The Shackles.

Included are the the classes his siblings and friends had in life.

archmage spirit: Kalizama 'Kali' Vargnarsdottir (NG female Mwangi [wildblooded] sage bloodline sorcerer who reveres Gozreh) with living male seagull familiar familiar named Banipani

champion spirit: Kazallin 'Kaz' Magavi (NG male Varisian [courser] swashbuckler who reveres Desna)

guardian spirit: Zeldana 'Zel' Magavi (NG female Varisian [shielded fighter] fighter who reveres Shelyn) with living male varied thrush songbird named Warbler

hierophant spirit: Ragnar Vargnarssen (NG male Ulfen [spirit guide] oracle who reveres Erastil)

marshal spirit: Khismia 'Mia' Bashir (LG female Kelish [warrior of the holy light (&) chosen one] paladin who reveres Sarenrae) with living cassian angel with the change shape ability (dog and dove forms) named Sunrise (who might be currently locked in dove form).

trickster spirit: Andezi 'Drezi' Kesk (N male Varisian sanctified rogue of Abadar)

During their first adventure in The Shackles, while exploring some Ghol-Gan ruins, Ragnar called out to his deity for aid, and the spirits of the ruins cursed him with powerless prophecy).

They became successful adventurers during their time in The Shackles (reaching level 20) and were planning to return home after exploring another Ghol-Gan ruin. They fought some cyclopean brute wights on the surface (which resulted with each party member gaining some temporary negative levels).

They decided to push on instead of making camp on the surface - a decision that would prove to be unwise. Kalizama's and Veldana's familiars (male seagull named Banipani and a male varied thrush named Warbler) stayed on the surface while the group explored the ruins beneath. Khismia's familar (a cassian angel who answers to 'Sunrise' that can changeshape into a dog or a dove) stayed with Khismia. Though they were able to handle the dangers of the first few levels, that changed when they found a colossal chasm - the lair of a great wyrm! (an umbral dragon!!). They already had some temporary negative levels from the brute wights.

The dragon unleashed its shadow breath, causing some to take a bit of strength drain except for Kalizama, who took the full brunt of the shadow breath, taking 12 points of strength and becoming blinded for several seconds. The dragon then used its claws and teeth that inflicted more negative levels to the group, as it was having fun 'tenderizing' this foolish group of adventurers into its prefererred meal - shadows created from living creatures it kills.

By the time Kalizama had regained her vision each party member had 19 temporary negative levels (from the combined temporary negative levels from the brute wights and natural attacks of the dragon). Kalizama told them to surround her and hold onto her, for she had scribed a scroll to be prepared for such a tragic turn (a scroll of Greater Teleport she scribed with a 18th level caster level - enough to teleport herself and up to six others). They managed to reach her quickly as the dragon was about to unleash its breath weapon again, but Kalizama was able to successfully cast the spell from the scroll before the group was enveloped once again in the dragon's breath.

Meanwhile, at the same time of the fateful encounter with the umbral dragon, Cashmeric (now 16 years old) was laying on Junker's Edge, watching the goblins below. When suddenly out of thin air, his siblings and their friends appeared around him.

"Still watching goblins, little brother?"

"Kaz! Zel! You're home!" Cashmeric got off the ground and hugged his siblings, "You're all hurt! What happened?"

"There is time for that later, Cash, for now we need to go the chapel for some healing. Come with us and we will fill you in on our adventures. Is Sandpoint still the quiet town we left five years ago?"

Cashmeric's expression turns to one of sadness, "Dad's dead. That crazy bastard Stoot killed him."

"Did you say Stoot? That doesn't make sense, he was kind old man who loved birds," Kalizama pointed out.

"I did. He went crazy and killed several people in town," Cashmeric told her.

With tears starting to form from the news her father was dead, Zeldana spoke, "Is mom still alive?"

"Are my parents still alive?" Andrezi, Kalizama and Khismia asked simultaneously.

"Yes, they are alive, the only parent of ours that bastard killed was Dad, Zel."

Khismia's familiar, 'Sunrise', (a cassian angel who prefers to go by the name Mia named him when she thought he was just a dove, who can change shape into a dove or a dog), who had converted back to dove form during the fight with the dragon (possibly currently unable to change shape due to the temporary negative levels Khismia currently has) flew off to the docks on the west side of town.

"What about Warbler and Banipani?" Zeldana asked Kalizama.

"Banipani's a seagull so flying home will take time but he can do it. I am sure he will make sure Warbler males it home too, Zel."

"That's a relief. I think I've had my fill of The Shackles for a lifetime. No offense meant, Kali."

"Or six lifettimes," Ragnar added, not realizing his powerless prophecy added more weight to his words then he realized.

"None taken," Kalizama told Veldana, "Just have faith in our birds' ability to find their way home. Remember, they were with us for the journey south in the first place."

That last comment eased Zeldana's fear about leaving Warbler so far south of home.

Cash walked with his siblings and their friends to the chapel, while they started to tell him of their first (not last) adventure in The Shackles.

When they got to the chapel, Father Tobyn assessed their wounds, "You all need to stay at the chapel for at least a week while I and the other priests pray and request the power needed to heal the spiritial damage you have attained."

"Is it okay if Cash accompanies us, Father?" Ragnar asked Ezakien.

"Of course. I am sure he is eager to hear what his siblings and the rest of you have been doing during the years away from home,"

Once they got settled into a room of the chapel they would be spending the week in, Kazallin told Cashmeric they all had souvenirs for him.

"My first whip, the one you used to beg me to let you play with," Kazallin spoke.

"But you never go anywhere without your whip!"

"I have an enchanted whip I use now. This one is now yours," Kazallin placed the whip into his brother's hands. This whip is etched with a swallowtail butterfly (a sacred animal of Desna) on its handle.

"Thanks, Kaz. Will you teach me how to use it?"

"Of course."

"My first shield, the one that Ragnar made for me," Zeldana spoke as she handed the wooden small shield to Cashmeric. The front of this has a painting of Veldana's familiar, Warbler (a varied thrush songbird). (The songbird is the sacred animal of Shelyn.)

"But that is special to you, your boyfriend made it for you!"

"That he did, and I have an enchanted darkwood shield now. Ragnar made it for me to keep me safe. Now it will keep my little brother safe, eh?"

"Thank you, Zel. Will you teach me how to use it?"

"Of course."

"You are big enoug to take hunting now, little man," Ragnar tells Cashmeric as he hands him a longbow.

Cashmeric takes a look at the handle and sees the familiar etching of a stag (the sacred animal of Erastil) on it, "That's your bow! You keep it."

"I have an enchanted darkwood bow now that I prefer. I would rather this bow stay close to the wielder of the shield I crafted for the woman I love."

"Understood. Thank you, Ragnar."

Andrezi hands removes his sheathed rapier from his belt and hands the scabbard with the cold iron rapier inside to Cashmeric, "This is for you, cousin." - The pommel, handle and cross guard of the cold iron rapier was designed in the shape of a monkey (the sacred animal of Abadar) - the pommel being the head, the handle being the body and the cage crossguard being the monkey's tail.

Casmeric instantly recognizes this as the sword he used to play 'hero' with. Looks at his cousin's belt and sees he does not have another rapier, "I can't take your rapier. You love that thing!"

"Fear not, cousin, as I always have a rapier in hand when I need one," Andrezi tells him as a beautiful carved adamantine rapier with a simliar monkey design appears in his leather-gloved right hand
"Cool! Thanks for the sword. I was planning to get a rapier myself soon."

"Really? Did you decide to follow in my footsteps and choose Abadar as your patron god?"

"No, I was planning on getting a hound design, like my father's. He left his to you, Kaz."

"A Caydenite! I look forward to drinking alongside you, little man," Ragnar tells Cashmeric.

Khismia hands Cashmeric a bola with an etching of a dove (the sacred animal of Sarenrae) on its handle.

"Are you sure, Mia? I still remember how you loved tripping Kaz with it whenever he would flirt with another girl."

"He stopped flirting with other girls awhile back, little brother."

"Little brother? I'm Kaz's brother, not yours. Are you feeling okay, Mia?"

Khismia and Kazallin hold up their left hands, which each has a silver band on the ring finger with an etching of an angelic ankh flanked by etchings of a butterfly and dove.

"We couldn't bear to wait to come home to be joined in our gods' eyes. Can you forgive us for not having you at our wedding?"

Cash wraps his arms around Mia, "Welcome to the family, sis!"

Cashmeric takes a look at Vel's left hand and sees a ring there, "You're married too?"

"Just engaged. We figured at least two of us should wait to get back home so our families can attend our wedding. I didn't want Mom blaming both of us for robbing her of the joy of attending our weddings."

"Let's not get into this now, Zel," Kazallin implores of his sister.

"Just don't try to say I did not try to have you wait until we got back home."

"You know why we didn't wait!" Kazallin retored back, as he wrapped his right arm around Mia and gently placed his hand over her stomach,"

"You're pregnant?" Cashmeric asked Khismia, who smiled and nodded in response.

"I'm going to be an uncle!"

"I guess that leaves me," Kalizama speaks up.

Cashmeric's voice cracks, "You're engaged too?"

"No, I meant my turn to give you a souvenir, silly."

Cashmeric blushes.

"You still have the same effect on my cousin after all these years, Kali," Andrezi teases his cousin, "He's grown up now, Kali. Now you don't have to let him down gently if he asks you to go on a date."

Kalizama blushes, "As I was saying, it is my time for you to receive a gift from me. Keeping with the theme of the gifts there is only one of my possessions that fits," as she unstraps her wooden scroll box from her belt and hands it to Cashmeric. The lid of this wooden scroll box has a painting of Kalizama's seagull familiar, Banipani, on it.

"Thank you, Kali," Cashmeric beams, "If you want, after you are feeling better we can go shopping for new scroll box for you."

Kalizama blushes, "That sounds lovely."

"No one has made her blush in five years and she just blushed twice," Andrezi commented quietly so neither Cashmeric or Kalizama heard him.

Father Tobyn enters the room, "It is time for you to head home, Cashmeric. Tell your mother and the rest of their parents they can come visit them tomorrow afternoon."

"Okay, Father Tobyn. Thank you."

"Wait, little brother. Don't go before you answer something for me."

"Okay, Kel. What do you want to know?"

"You're grown now. What profession did you decide on?"

"Auntie Risa says I have the family gift and is training me to become a medium."

"Cool. We lost a friend while we were in The Shackles. Maybe when you finish your training you can contact his spirit for us, eh?"

"Sure, Kaz."

Cashmeric walked home with his new possessions, and planned to stay up to tell his mother the good news when she got back from working the late shift at Risa's Place, but fell asleep before she got home.

Cashmeric woke up and excitedly woke his mother, Carmelizzia 'Carm' Magravi up, "Mom, they're back hiome!"

"Who are you talking about?"

"Kaz and Vel! Ragnar and Kali! Mia and Andrezi!"

"Where are they?"

"They were wounded pretty badly. Father Tobyn is having them stay at the chapel for a week to attend to their wounds."

Carmelizzia gets her shoes and jacket on and heads out the door.

"Mom, Father Tobyn said you have to wait until the afternoon to visit them."

"I am their mother and have not seen them in five years, young man. No one, not even Father Tobyn is going to prevent me from seeing my children."

Cashmeric quickly got his boots and jacket on and headed out with his mother.

They saw heavy smoke coming from Uptown.

"What is causing so much smoke?" Cashmerez queried aloud, just before they could see flickers of large flames just over the rooftoops of the downtown buildings blocking their view of the chapel.

"No!" his mother started to run as fast as she could, fearing the worst.

Kazallin, Veldana, Ragnar, Khismia, Andrezi and Kalizama all died in the Sandpoint Fire.

A month after the Sandpoint Fire, Risa Magravi (Cashmeric's great aunt) had Cashmeric try to channel her dead father-in-law, who is Cashmeric's great-grandfather, but he failed to do so.

"Hmm, I sense you have the gift. I am not sure why you cannot channel your great-grand father, when you should be able to. You might be a rare medium, Cashmeric, that can only summon specific spirits that have emotional ties to items in your possession," She looks over the gear that her great-nephew has been wearing for the past month, "Tomorrow I will have you try to channel your brother's spirit, your sister's the day after and your cousin Andrezi's the day after that."

"And Kali's, Mia's and Ragnar's spirits the days after those?" Cashmeric asked his family elder.

"Of course, child."

After confirming that Cashmeric was a relic channeler medium linked to the spirits of the group of six friends that died in the Sandpoint Fire, it was clear pursuing the career of a medium was not a feasible path, so Cashmeric got a job working where his father worked, The Hagfish, three days of the week (Toilday, Wealday and Fireday day shift). His father's name, Henric Magravi, is one of the 28 names carved in the ceiling beam for drinking a tankard of Norah's tank water)

Cashmeric's weekly routine typically consists of having a seance in the morning to channel one of the spirits linked to him, then go to work for the day, then head to the home of the spirit he is channeling that day for dinner and allowing the spirt to take control of his body so that the spirit can spend the evening with their family and Cashmeric wakes up in the bed of that spirit's childhood home.

His typical week consists of channeling is as follows:

Moonday: day off, Kalizama 'Kali' Vargnarsdottir
Toilday: work day, Ragnar Vargnarssen
Wealday: work day, Veldana 'Vel' Magravi
Oathday: day off, floating day to adjust other days for special days for the spirits (their birthdays or birthdays of family members, religious days of their deity, etc.)
Fireday: work day, Andrezi 'Drezi' Magravi
Starday: day off, Kazallin 'Kaz' Magravi
Sunday: day off, Khismia 'Mia' Magravi (nee Bashir)

As the Swallowtail Festival is a religious day for Desna, the spirit Cashmeric channels for the day is that of his brother, Kazallin 'Kaz' Magravi.

One day, after having a bad dream, he worked up the courage to talk to Nualia about how he felt. However, when he found her, she dismissed all his words as background noise. Shortly after, the Late Unpleasantness started. Upon hearing of Nualia's death, Sergyn shut himself down and found passion in nothing. After his mother Gaceem talked with Ameiko, they both decided that he should have something to occupy himself with. She gathered all the money she could borrow from the family and sent him to Magnimar to study under the great elf Pririeh Aan, mage and historian.

Sergyn had no time to grieve in his time in Magnimar. Master Aan put him through rigorous studies of magic and history. The elf was determined to learn the secrets of the great Thassilonian magic, which is why she traveled to Magnimar in the first place - a city with many ancient Thassilonian secrets to find.

The young Sergyn had no time and no intention to come back to Sandpoint to visit. He couldn't even bring himself to come for the inauguration of the Sandpoint cathedral, the monument to the healing of the town. The only thing that could bring him back is what unfortunately happened. Shortly before the cathedral consecration, a goblin raid happened and his mother was one of the very few people killed in it. Master Aan, of course, understood the need for him to go back, but insisted he returned as soon as he could to continue studying under her.

As Sergyn arrived in Sandpoint, he met with his family and they started mourning together. Sergyn spent most of his time in the Rusty Dragon, talking with Ameiko, letting his rage out. He wanted to get back at the goblins...

14. Who has had the biggest impact on your character's life?

The spirits of his siblins, cousin and friends.

15. What are some of your character's unexpected quirks?

Some people in town might think Cashmeric is lying when he tells them it was his cousin Andrezi who pulled a prank on them (it was Andrezi who had full control of Cashmeric's body while Cashmeric's consciousness was asleep). After having dinner with his parents, Andrezi (in control of Cash's body) likes to explore town looking for something fun to do, sometimes pretending to be Cashmeric or one of the other spirits Cashmeric can channel. In short Andrezi lives up to being the trickster he is.

16. What kind of story does your character belong in?

Cashmeric has a normal weekly rotation of which spirits he channels, so that all the parents (sans Cashmeric's father) of the spirits get to spend a day each week with their dearly departed child/ren. How that weekly rotation of channeling the six spirits of the past five years is affected by taking up the life of an adventurer is yet to be known.

Cashmeric's party role is flexible, as it depends largely on which of the six spirits he can channel is the one he is channeling on a particular day.

The living girls in town who were girls that Kazallin dated briefly during one of the breaks he had with his on-again off-again girlfriend, Khismia Bashir, might have questions they want to ask Kazallin by asking Cashmeric.

While a number of boys and girls were interested in dating Andrezi before he left town a decade ago, his sexuality was never deduced, though a number of boys and girls did their best to try to find out.

Unlike Kazallin and Khismia's on-again off-again pattern, the opposite was true of Ragnar and Veldana, who have only ever had hearts and eyes for each other.

19. What is your play style?

A combination of play styles. One of the campaign styles i enjoy the least are intrigue-heavy campaigns.

Cashmeric's explorer's outfit consists of the following items:

dark blue wide-brimmed hat with light green band with a seagull feather held in place by the band (a gift Kalizama bought for Cashmeric the day she left for The Shackles and put one of her seagull familiar, Banipani's shed feathers into the band) (Kalizama, "You're still too young for me. I am sure you are going to be as popular with the girls as your brother is," Kalizama said in Polyglot, then gives him a hug and kiss on his cheek, causing Cashmeric's cheek to blush bright red.)

silver-coloured open-fingered gloves with gold-coloured trim (a gift Andrezi bought for him before he left for The Shackles). ("Cash, your cheeks are on fire," Andrezi says in Varisian and chuckles as he teases his cousin, then hands him the gloves, "These will be too big for you for a few years still, but I expect you to be wearing them when I see you when we come back home after making a name for ourselves in The Shackles."

six-foot long violet-colored scarf with the ends of the scarf ending in a bit of blue, followed by thick band of green that is bordered by thin orange bands. (Veldana made this for Cashmeric before she left for The Shackles) ("I decided to makes a scarf for you instead of buying one," Veldana says in Varisian, "I am going to miss you, little brother," as she wraps her arms tightly around Cashmeric.)

dark blue hooded cloak that is sun-yellow on the interiror side with two yellow suns on the outer side (a gift Khismia bought for him before she left for The Shackles) ("This will serve you better as a blanket for a few years until you grow some more so you can wear it without tripping," Khismia tells Cashmeric in Taldane, then gives him hug.)

dark blue belt with a silver buckle with a swallowtail butterflies embroidiered along the outer side of the belt. (a gift Kazallin bought for him the day he left for The Shackles) ("Until you are fully-grown, you might need to wrap this around your waist twice, little brother," Kazallin tells Cashmeric in Varisian, then lifts his brother off the ground and spins him around as he hugs his brother tightly, "Stay safe, Cash," he tells his brother as he sets him back onto the ground.

a hemmed bark brown long-sleeved shirt with grass green sleeves ("I've been busy all day getting the ship ready for our voyage and didn't have time to go to the market with others," Ragnar tells Cashmeric in Taldane, as he clasps his hands onto Cashmeric's shoulders. Ragnar then takes the shirt he is wearing off and hands it to Cash, and tells him in Skald, "You'll grow into it, Little Man."

tan boots with silver-coloured trim with silver clasps and ovals of silver at the ankles (a birthday gift his father, Henric Magravi, on the last birthday of Cashmeric's before his father was killed by Chopper).

dark blue jacket with white trim (Cashmeric's mother, Carmelizzia, made this for him and gave to him on the last birthday of Cashmeric's before her husband, Henric Magravi, was killed by Chopper).

tan leather breeches with several pockets; the breeches are covered with stitch-work of rust-red mastiff puppies with piercing blue eyes that are lapping ale from silver tankards.(Cashmeric bought these breeches from a merchant in the Kaspakari Varisian caravan the last time that caravan passed through Sandpoint).
