Ulthak |

Question…can anyone here handle traps?
If not then I may take trap wrecker. I built Ulthak and planned him out to revolve around shields. If this feat is needed though, I’ll change him to instead hit for as much damage as possible so the feat is more likely to work.
And if so, my apologies to the GM for the need to swap feats and build plans.

Timothy the Cobbler |

Timothy can handle non-magical traps. KT rogues lose magical trap disabling in compensation for being absurd faces, so that'll have to be done some other method.
My other rogue is taking a different class to fix it, but I'm trying NOT to have Timothy be a patchwork corkboard build like that. Just your standard Rogue, Caster, Arcane Trickster.

Lathliss Arrowheart |

Lathliss can dip back into his Calistrian upbringing and snag some levels in Rogue if need be. It all depends on what the town needs, as I've also seen Disable Device used to make jerryrigged repairs.

Ulthak |

Please let me know if you can cover it. My build uses all its feats, so while I could handle it…it means a new build plan from lvl1. I’m fine doing so, but I need to know before we start.
Given that you are a cleric and this would delay your spells progression, I am alright making a new build plan.

Timothy the Cobbler |

Yeah, if there aren't many magical traps then Timothy can handle everything just fine as the Arcane Trickster of the party. Disable Device becomes a class skill at level 2 and he might take Skill Focus in it to make up for the lack of trapfinding.

Keep in mind there are many ways to find and disarm traps. Some more amusing for the DM than others.
The main point in the discussion thread is to figure out what relationship the characters might have had in the last three years and iron out character sheets in case of overlap or if there is any collaboration you wish to setup between characters.
Once that is done I can get us started.

Lathliss Arrowheart |

I imagine after being together in a relatively small town for three years, we'd each know the others by name and reputation. The only exception for that is if the pocket dimension is much larger than I what I think it to be.
Lathliss is happy to help anyone with any job, and any free time not helping he'd be spending in prayer or building a small shrine to Erastil as his interpersonal skills are not the greatest.

Ulthak |

I'll echo that. The town is small enough that being here for any length of time would mean that we'd at least know each other by face and name.
For what it's worth...until relatively recently, Ulthak lived in a hut outside of town. As a tanner, this would have been a great relief to everyone, as it is a profession not exactly known for having the best smells. But he would go into town, to both sell his leather and leatherworking, and to trade/buy what he couldn't make himself.
Character Interactions
Lathliss
* The half-elf speaks orcish and is a cleric of Erastril. Ulthak worships Gozreh and Erastril, and survives by hunting (+7 survival). He'd respect the cleric and would likely have sought him out for any spiritual needs or divine magic, and would have been likely to have left an offering at the cleric's shrine.
Timothy
* Profession Cobbler? Ulthak sells leather. I'd imagine that Ulthak's shoes were made by Timothy. Beyond that, up to you on how well they know of each other.
Dagna
* I don't know how your dwarf would see Ulthak. He comes from Belkzen, formerly called Koldukar, as it was a dwarven Sky Citadel. Ulthak has no love for his kin (Ulthak has diplomacy and bluff as skills but not intimidate, because keeping his head low and avoiding fights was how he survived Belkzen, before he fled), but he'd be acutely aware of how dwarves see his kind. Thus I'd imagine that he'd try to keep a safe distance. You're call on whether the two would have had any interaction.
* For the future though...Ulthak has a spear/shield that means alot to him. The spear part is masterwork, but the shield is not. As she has craft armor, if she could eventually upgrade the shield for him (with him paying the 150 gold, of course), that would go a long way towards building a friendship between the two.
Miles
* While Ulthak wouldn't have any need for any jewelry, he does lack the skills required to fix any damage done to his home. For interactions, I could see Ulthak seeking out someone to fix damage done to his roof that he wasn't able to handle, and bartering for Miles' skills. So that way they at least know each other.
Character Overlap
* None that I see. Ulthak is a close combat specialist. He has a spear with a shield attached (spiked heavy shield) and has a few javelins for throwing. Him and Dagna are both front-line but go about it in very different ways.

The dimension is roughly five square miles. I should have the map up sometime tomorrow. I never saved the original map and the party in the primary campaign has changed it thoroughly.

Miles Robert Right |

Miles would try to be as friendly as anyone would like him be. A joke here a story there, whatever is needed for a smile or to lift everyone's spirits. I don't think he would be drawn toward or away anyone. No one would know his middle name.
If there is no way to craft arrows in the pocket I'll have to change out one of my crafts in order to do so, probably jewelry, or maybe pick it up 2nd level.
While his carpentery skills were originally used to make little figurines and things he has turned it toward building since the sundering.

Timothy the Cobbler |

Unless anyone is actually new and recent to town, Timothy has either been, or worked under, the only cobbler-shoemaker in town since he was an abandoned child, so he'll very likely know you. He would have visited the taverns frequently, up until the sundering at least.
Ulthak he definitely knows well, given he's probably purchased leather from him multiple times.
As for character overlap, he's just a slight variation on typical Arcane Tricksters. He will have... admittedly kind of broken face skills as a Kitsune Trickster in a level, but he won't have the skill points unlike my other Rogue to take advantage of them. His build also doesn't depend on it, either. Besides maybe the Bard, I see no issue.

Lathliss should be able to craft arrows with his skills, and I imagine he has requested Miles' help in building the small shrine to Erastil, if not in the town proper, then somewhere very close by to keep the small community safe.

Sounds good. I will leave everything as is. Miles would help anyone who needed building help. He probably also would have looked into some sort of barrier/wall around town to keep the goblins out or to funnel them into kill zones.

Map is updated, and I will give a brief explanation of it's major features:
- In the center you have Fogril's smithy and Milana's inn.
- Directly to the east is the old mill.
- Further east is the Toom's farm and barn.
- Next door is the abandoned Thomson farm.
- The northwest of the map are the hills where the Vinton spring sits.
- The spring flows down in a thin creek south to Passbog.
- It also flows east, going back underground to soak the Spring Bog.
- The nearby woods are not named, considered part of the bog.
- Next to the creek near the village is a project of Tel Beys.
I suppose emphasis should have been made that this is a village, with only a handful of villagers left after the goblin attacks.
Is everyone feeling up to starting?

Dagna Jursk |

I PM'd Dagna, but haven't heard anything back from them yet. And considering their profile looks to be incredibly new, I'm not sure if we've been ghosted or not.
I didn't get like any notification that you had PMd me. Paizo has my email so why doesn't it notify me?

I think it has to do with Paizo's systems on the back end. There's a check box in the account that says whether or not other people can PM you, but there isn't one that tells the site to send an email stating you have a new message. It's real weird, but Paizo's site is also incredibly old as it is.
