<p>P.S. If you pull someone aside to have a conversation about something they're doing that's disrupting the game, and their response is "I'm just playing in character", that's kind of like when certain kinds of frogs have bright coloration to warn predators that they're poison. Someone saying that is warning you that they're poison.</p>

<p>I think your issue is playing with a jerk and a drama bomb, not a family member. Your niece wasn't the problem, it was the bard player for refusing to cease his asshattery, and her boyfriend for overreacting to the aforementioned asshattery. Either of those two people acting like civilized humans could have avoided this.</p>
<p>I've gamed with both of my sisters and two cousins and never had an issue. I have also gamed with jerks and drama bombs and they are disruptive as hell.</p>

<p><b>"It would be an honor and a privilege. I assure you this will be a birthday he will remember for the rest of his life. You need not worry about privacy and discretion, those are truly the virtues of our religion."</b></p>
<p>She laughs a little at her own joke.</p>
<p><b>"Gerhard,"</b> she addresses the half-orc bouncer <b>"Show the boys here down to the lounge where they can get acquainted with some of our lovelies and explore what the nature of their preferences might be. The ladies and I will talk terms.</b></p>
<p>Gerhard leads the way down the stairs. They lead to a large underground room with a high ceiling. The room appears to be a cross between a tavern and a bedroom, with many many doorways leading off in different directions. The stairs continue down to deeper levels of the temple but the bouncer leads you into this room.</p>
<p>It is filled with, well, high class prostitutes. Not the kind of rundown poor souls one usually finds plying this trade in Eventide, but well dressed aristocratic-looking women. They are spread about the room, longing in deliberately sensual positions, and run the gamut of intelligent races.</p>
<p>There is only one man here, a human sitting in a far corner with two of the prostitutes, whispering.</p>
<p><b>"The boys• are one level down, if your tastes run elven,"</b> says the bouncer.</p>
<p>Meanwhile the madam leads the other women to a small sitting area just off the foyer. The chairs are heavily cushioned and softer than any chair you've ever sat in. The embroidery is halfling but the cloth is the finest gnomish cotton linen. She sits, and bids you join her with a wave of her hand.</p>
<p><b>"I can have a very private space made available. Soundproof, warded against scrying, lockable from the inside, more secure than a dwarven vault. It is a point of pride that we have never had an issue with one of our clients suffering unwanted exposure. If you could be more specific about your needs I'd be only too happy to indulge."</b></p>

<p>The brothel itself was designed to emulate a dwarven temple, something of a dark joke. The upper level is an imposing edifice crafted to the point of geometric perfection. Two great stone columns, hewn from living stone, flank the entrance. The great majority of the building, as with all dwarven buildings, lies underground.</p>
<p>A human woman in evening wear answers the door when you knock. Her age is beginning to show but she is still possessed of a timeless beauty. She looks each of you up and down without losing her smile. Unlike smiles, she at least gives the impression of being genuine. </p>
<p>Behind her looms a thick-necked half-orc with a grisly hanging scar, his muscles threatening to rip free of his skin at any moment. He wears a large axe on his back, and an old-style front loading pistol on his hip.</p>
<p><b>"Welcome weary pilgrims, to the Temple of Ostentatious Delights. Come in, come in, and we can discuss precisely which sublime pleasures would feed your souls."</b></p>
<p>She steps aside, to allow you entrance. Inside is a finely appointed foyer, decorated in a human style in contrast to the architecture, which is dominated by a grand staircase leading down.</p>

<div class="messageboard-quotee">Quote:</div><blockquote>Karnot pauses for Smiles to consider his offer and racks his brain for any recent uprisings, gang activity, ot similar weirdness going on in that area of town.</blockquote><p>Eventide is full of bandits and other ne'er-do-wells, it's no surprise that someone got robbed. Most people with anything worth stealing know to avoid the area entirely, unless they have strong sword arms or full spell books.
<div class="messageboard-quotee">Quote:</div><blockquote>Ellie thinks quietly to herself about any relevant rumors she may have heard recently.</blockquote><p>Local: You haven't heard anything about a dragon robbery, but that stands to reason. The merchant houses don't want the information getting out, and nobody in Eventide is keen to snitch.
<p>There are, however, a few gangs of what might be described as bandits that operate out of Eventide, and are known for attacking people trying to cut through the neighborhood. This is a story you've heard a number of times before, the only difference is that this time someone important enough for people to notice got hit.</p>
<p>The Temple of Ostentatious Delights, a high end brothel and drughouse that exists in Eventide more to be away from prying eyes than because of the cheap rents, has a number of underground rooms they rent out with no questions asked. They're usually not particularly forthcoming with customer information, however. They're expensive but anyone capable of successfully robbing the Red Flame likely has resources.</p>
<p>Architecture: Eventide doesn't have as many tall buildings as the rest of the city, but a lot of the buildings descend far down beneath it. There are many entrances to Rat City, which is an unofficial ratfolk settlement in the sewers of Hyskos. There are also a number of basements, cellars, and other places where someone might hide out underground. Many of the underground nooks and crannies have been abandoned for decades, and have been overrun by underground monsters.</p>
<p>Engineering: Eventide is the most run-down part of the city. A lot of the buildings look virtually uninhabitable, and the ones that aren't full of squatters could make good hideouts (until they collapse and kill everyone inside). There's also enough tunnels and underground passages that it would be pretty easy for people to connect various buildings through the underground.</p>
<p><span class=messageboard-ooc>I did the ones you listed, but let's be reasonable. I'm not going to write up "I take ten on every single knowledge skill check" every time you want information. You're going to need to specify the skills you're using.</span></p>

<p>One point: I have a pretty sandboxy GMing philosophy, but I find PBP games work better when the PCs have a goal aggressively shoved at their faces. So I have done so. But, keep in mind, if at any point you want to say "to hell with all of you we're going our own way" that's fine. You won't offend me if you make your own adventure. Same goes for betraying your employers, killing NPCs that look important, and basically any kind of in-character shenanigans that might usually faze a GM. You be you and I'll roll with whatever punches. If I wanted to control what the characters were going to do I'd write a book.</p>

<p>"Smiles" Favian Brood is a third-rate professional middle man, with delusions of class, who often works as a liaison between several of the merchant houses and the "adventurer" community. Unusually, Favian sought your group out today rather than you having to come to him looking for work.</p>
<p>Smiles wears an aggressively phony smile like a mask, and is clad in filthy, bug-eaten clothes that would have been quite extravagant a decade ago when they were new. He maintains an office in the lowest level of one of the more disreputable office spires, which is where you all are now.</p>
<p><b>"Here's the situation: representatives of the Red Fire of Wealth• came through Hyskos two days ago with several large chests of gold with which to purchase land in the city core. They went missing somewhere near Eventide••. I don't need to tell you how important it is that the gold, in it's entirety, is recovered. Someone out there was suicidally stupid enough to steal gold from not one, but THREE dragons at once. If the Red Fire of Wealth get wind of what happened they will <i>burn this city to the ground</i> to recover even a single shaving of that gold. It's as close to a principal as the monsters have."</b></p>
<p><b>"Unfortunately, the gold was in the form of pristine 10,000-year-old dragon minted coins, so it would be impossible to replace without being noticed. Fortunately, that should make it easier to track down."</p>
<p>"If you can't get all the gold the next best thing would be to bring in the people who stole it, alive. If we can turn them over to the dragons we may be able to redirect their wrath away from the city."</b></p>
<p>He sighs.</p>
<p><b>"You've done good work for me in the past, so this should go without saying, but in case it doesn't: if you try to make off with a single piece of that gold it will be <i>you</i> the dragons come after, and I'll personally make sure they know where to look. Now is not the time for petty adventurer bullshit. If the city is destroyed we all lose. If, however, you recover the gold you'll win all of us some powerful friends. That's worth more than anything else I could offer you, but I'll also pay 10% of the recovered gold, that's 10,000 gp."</b></p>
<p>10,000 gp. That's ten times more than any job the cheap bastard has ever offered you.</p>
<p><b>"Time is of the essence. The merchant princes can only stall the cartel for so long. We need this gold recovered yesterday, so ask any questions you have quick and get going."</b></p>

<p>Chief among the dwarf gods is the god of thunder, who died and came back to life as a sort of divine machine, and is now the god of electricity, machinery, and cold lifeless efficiency. He became the chief god of the dwarven pantheon and, since the dwarf empire is the biggest political organization in the world, worship has spilled outward to other races (although most non-dwarves worship the thunder god as a sort of monotheism without the rest of the dwarf pantheon). </p>
<p>Humans, ratfolk and catfolk have a bunch of new gods of their own, the most important of which is the Omniscient Eye which makes problems for people in power. The new gods tend towards more modern concepts to embody.</p>
<p>The Tengu don't have any gods, and while not atheists per se they feel that it's best to avoid the notice of anything that powerful. </p>
<p>Then there's a bunch of local cultist, animistic systems, deified monarchs, demons in disguise and tribal patrons.</p>

<div class="messageboard-quotee">Quote:</div><blockquote>Could I get some more information on the dragon cartels that you mentioned in the opening post?</blockquote><p>Well, basically, one of the major themes of the setting is that all of the major global powers are based on concentrations of wealth. The dwarven empire is merely the puppet of the seven great dwarven banks, the human city-states are run by merchant houses, and into this mess come the dragon cartels. These are various alliances of dragons, mostly evil, who invest their hoards in order to most effectively grow them. Think a cross between a giant evil corporation and a mafia outfit, run by magically evil dragons all in the pursuit of making money for no other reason than so they can pile it up and sit on it.

<p>There are some urban elf families, they're not all zealots for the cause, and most of them live in Hyskos because it's the closest thing to civilization outside the dwarven empire where elves are KOS.

<p>I want to replace Charlemagne with The Vicar on the list because I like this new character more. He's the gentleman's prophet of doom.</p>
<p>Edit: At level one, I have a +11 Will save vs. Phantasm Illusions. That's a very specific situation but +11!</p>

<p>It's CM. I'm going to add my own character to the list and obviously skip myself when making a party for my own games.</p>

<p>Alright, here's the completed stats for Gideon. I'm presupposing you use Sense Motive to play poker, otherwise I'll want to change some things.</p>

<p>Check me out with my awesome avatar that I totally didn't settle for. Yep, it really encapsulates my character nicely. There is a perfectly adequate number of rogue portraits, that's for sure!</p>
<p>Edit: With all this money and no magic items, what do you recommend we invest in? Even completely kitted out with a horse and everything I don't think I could break 500 gp.</p>

<p>Flying Sword wastes no time engaging with Ming Yue. He attempts to use Soft Snow Softplay to overwhelm her with multiple attacks. The fact that the style is the Wudang equivalent of Emei style swordplay is not lost on him.</p>
