As each of you enters the alleyway the coordinates led you to, you realize that you've never been here before and that the cartographers of town maps that had so adequately aided you in the past were completely unaware of this dank and isolated locale. The cobblestone path beneath your feet reeks of urine and excrement while small clouds of flies buzz lazily around heaps of putrefying refuse. Not a soul in sight you step warily into this festering armpit in the great metropolis of Absalom. At the far end of the alley stands a steel bound wooden door built at the base of a small, worn set of stone stairs. A wooden sign hangs haphazardly from a crooked nail in the door, the sign seemingly made from a piece of driftwood and bearing the words 'Ode...n o... Re...ecti...n'

Generations have passed since the Last Azlanti failed to return. The world of Golarion has since been wracked by pangs of the End Times and the Rough Beast threatens the world once again. The deities gather to discuss the fate of the Rough Beast's prison and from among them a lone robed figure emerges, its identity unknown to much of the congregation and somehow invisible to their minds. "The Rough Beast is but the final nail in our coffin,"the being's gravelly voice strange to the all-powerful entities,"There was one who had the potential to undo the horror you have brought upon us." "Who dares to speak to the gods with such insolence?!" roars Gorum, already supremely upset about having to attend such a gathering. "Indeed, how a mortal infiltrated such an illustrious affair is quite perplexing," Asmodeus' tone laced with sarcasm and clearly directed at Iomedae. "Enough bickering, fools!" commands Iomedae eliciting a grin from Asmodeus and a grumble from Gorum,"Solivagus, your methods are too extreme, we cannot know for sure if such an approach would succeed." "I understand, milady," responds the robed figure,"the powerful cling to their power until ripped from their dead hands." "Is that a threat, mortal?!" Iomedae's tone is sharper and a strange resonance ripples outwards from her words. "Of course not, Mistress of War, merely an observation," replies Solivagus smoothly. "Astute," comments Asmodeus as he sips on a goblet of wine,"Your friend understands us all very well for a mortal." "He's not my..." Iomedae turns to address Asmodeus and in a flash of light the cloaked figure vanishes,"...friend."

NEW RACE: Witcher:
When a Hag breeds with a human the result in almost invariably a Changeling, a female human-like creature that eventually evolves into a Hag. Occasionally, approximately 1 out of every 1,000 births a Hag gives birth to twins. One is always female and the other a male. This aberration of hag/human blood has a bizarre effect on the mother as she wanders mindlessly into the wilderness and deposits the newborn male far from her and civilization. This clearly leads to the inevitable death of most Witchers before they can fully realize their potential. Those that do survive become fierce slayers of all manner of horrors and monstrous creatures, many concealing their origins or never aware of them at all. The only being capable of identifying a Witcher is his twin sister who has a strange link with him. The presence of a Witcher with a Changeling is profound causing her hag abilities to be suppressed and the urges to fade. Type: Humanoid(Witcher)

Alright, so, I need everyone from TheIronGiant6's post to call a slot and build their alias via the above guidelines. Anyone aiming for a competing slot, don't be forlorn for I would like to run parallel groups and you'll be first pick for such an event. Everyone else, feel free to request a slot and build an alias. I'll do my best to accommodate you in time. 
Have chunk of the material and would like to play a Machinesmith. Are there any NeoExodus GMs out there? |
