Alrighty, they said they'd join, should be finishing up their character and posting here in discussion soon. They are also a player in the only other game I'm GMing.
Player is Eletido, character is also a Champion, though slightly different build, still fills that primary front liner kind of role.
Once they post in discussion, I'll post in gameplay and get us moving forward again!
Hey all, still working out some final decisions on the mechanics. But, I figure I should stop by real quick.
As GM Cody mentioned, I originally applied with a champion to the recruitment for this game. Phang Kwan is a champion of Shizuru and formerly of the town guard.
I'll get my profile finalized tomorrow morning.
Really looking forward to playing through SoG with you all!
Noice! With Yuranosuke's faith in Tsukiyo, I think we'll get along famously!
@GM Cody: most of the mechanics are in the profile now. I need to reorganize some of it, but should be all set to proceed.
Here's a quick summary of what the PCs know about Kwan.
Anyone who has lived in Willowshore for the last ~5 years knows that Kwan recently retired from the town guard, but still is often seen sparring with them. He also keeps busy helping Yong Wu-Xiu at the Eternal Blaze Ironworks.
Most people know that Kwan is one of the many children who was orphaned after the attacks on Willowshore during the Night of Broken Blades. Many of the orphans were taken in by a follower of Shizuru, Joon Park. Over time, Kwan also dedicated himself to Shizuru, and joining the town guard was his way to do his duty. He was taught by Joon to "be prepared to protect your town - if you aren't already ready, it's too late."
Welcome, Phang Kwan!
Welcome, Phang Kwan!
Thanks! Question for you: Does Xu Jiang go by Jiang normally? Trying to make sure I understand everyone's preferred name.
And now a question for GM Cody: Is this the location that Kwan was stationed last night?
Yeah probably, likely stationed at the eastern watchtower, roaming guard to check on the lantern and the spider gate
Sorry I haven't posted in a couple of days. I got food-poisoned.
all good, hopefully you are feeling better!
Yowch! Feel better!
@Yuranosuke: I hadn't realized that Yuranosuke is a follower of Tsukiyo. That will make a great pairing. I'll have to read up on my Shizuru and Tsukiyo lore.
@GM Cody, I just realized that I didn't finalize a couple of details for Kwan's backstory: the location of his home and hierloom item.
From the original recruitment post, I intended Kwan's house to be close to Dawnstep Bridge, likely on the southern side given his Background choice.
For hierloom, I think the healing potions and adventuring gear option makes sense.
Good with you?
Works for me!
Heads up from me: Family vacation starts Friday, back home Thursday, 3/20. I expect to be available, but might be slower than normal.
we are finally starting to unpack in our new place, so weekends are rough
I love Ayane's cheerleading! Can't wait 'till she becomes the Slayer! XD

@Xu: very helpful. Thanks.
@GM Cody: I just realized that we didn't solidify the location of Kwan's home, OOC post. If everyone is good with my original idea, Kwan's house would be one of those buildings just past the bridge before the intersection with the path that leads to W10 - Lady of Souls.
Sorry
Seems all my chats were cleared. Didn't see any updates
Bad news, our router at home died so I'm gonna be limited to phone-posting until we get it replaced. Please feel free to bot Yuranosuke as needed to keep the game rolling.
Aw, it's the sad kind of spooky. :(
I'll be away through Wednesday, chaperoning kids on a field trip.
Busy and tiring weekend following by chaperoning a field trip. Hope to make time to catchup and post this evening.
Understandable! Yeah I’ve been distracted too, started a new job recently working 4/12 hour shifts. Walking 10+ miles a day in the role, been kicking my ass. Now I’m off to Michigan then DC for the next three weeks for work. I have my laptop so I’ll be posting but I might be more limited than I have been as I adjust!
@GM Cody: I added a house icon for Kwan. Reddish color.
Thank you! Appreciate it.
Others feel free to add your living locations in as well. Maybe do different colors and label it in the legend so I know whose is whose
Upon whom are we waiting? :-)
Hey sorry I’ll post tonight. I’ve been in Washington DC for the past few days for work and the evenings have been getting away from me. I’ve been a little out of sorts, been traveling on and off the past few weeks all over the country.
This should be my last trip for a month or so. Apologies for the slowness.
No apology necessary! Memorial Day weekend's got us all busy!
Sorry for my absence here. Hoping to have time to catch up this evening or tomorrow.
Awesomesausages!
Oops! Lost track of time there! I'm back!
I'm at a wedding this weekend. I'll try to catch up when I'm back home
Batting a thousand with these rolls... >_<
Family emergency on my wife's side. Not sure if I'll be able to checkin again today.
Sending you good wishes!
Hope everything goes okay!
I'll be going camping tonight, should be back Sunday evening. Likely won't be able to post until then!
Hey all, thanks for the thoughtful words. My father-in-law is doing better, but still hospitalized. For now, I'm back!
Hope he feels better soon! <3
Going to be leaving tomorrow on a family trip to Milwaukee for a few days. I'll return on Friday, so if a post is needed from me in the meantime, please feel free to bot me. See you then! :D
Does anyone have opinions on which shrines we want to get blessings from?
IIRC, we have a blessed coin of Pharasma. Kwan would be in favor of getting a blessing from Shizuru, at Mothers Coil. Tsukiyo is also there. The lodge is close by and has a shrine to Ketephys.
to be honost, i figured Shandari worships the elements, not sure what that would be for in general, so go with the flow her from my side
It depends how much you guys want to meta game the coins versus what your characters would want.
Depending on the deity, once the lantern is relit you will get a +1 item bonus to the alternate skill for each of the deities listed on the table.
So right now you guys have Pharasma, so everyone will get a +1 item bonus to Medicine once the lantern is relit.
If you finish your trip to Silvermist Lodges, both investigating the disappearance of the rangers and blessing another coin with Ketaphys' blessing, you'd get a +1 item bonus to Survival.
I'm traveling this weekend so mostly unavailable. Have a good weekend, all.
I'm back! And still rolling like garbage apparently!
Is this thing on?
Sorry, Sunday got busy and my work has us some mandatory overtime for the foreseeable future.
