@GMBorgeouisx: It's okay. It's your first time GMing, I understand that my build was a little too wierd. :)

A friendly advice tough: in an evil campaign like this, find a way to force the PCs to work together and not stab each other in the back. It's already a problem in "normal" campaigns, and in a evil one this problem is even more prominent.


Dotting for intrest. A nice, short little (and evil) adventure sounds neat. :)

Will this be combat heavy, or we'll have space to roleplay?

I'm probably going to submit this character, but I eould like to ask you if she's okay:first, she's a Skinwalker (non core race) and second she's a bloodrager, a ACG class. Is it okay? Also, I'm sorry if I can't paste her backstory and stats here from the previous posts, but for the next days I'm on vacation and have to post from phone. :(

In any case, this sounds cool. :D


Congrats to everyone who made it!

Have fun in erasing all the goodness of the world :3


I very well know the mutual hate between demons and devils, yes.
Tough, I want to try to find a common ground where voth sides could benefit. Obviously, both will think they are the ones that uses the other. We'll see about that :)
On Cynthia's personal side(s), one personality would never betray someone he started to aknowledge as 'family' or 'pack', while the other only cares for the spread of Lamashtu's cult, wichever the means.

EDIT: I also think that the Blood War is not a part of Pathfinder lore, if I'm not mistaken...


So, I'm not playing a divine caster, but seeing as Cynthia's deity is an important part of her character, I suppose I have to clarify things.

Lamashtu's goal is also that of tearing off all of the "fake goodness" and show people how the world is: a terrible fight where only the stronger, more cunning or lucky wins. This could be somewhat conciled with Asmodeus, like a PF version of Social Darwinism.

Cynthia's second goal is that of finding more followers for Lamashtu: maybe uniting all of the monstrous tribes around Talingarde. Maybe I could strike an aggreement between Lamashtan and Asmodians, later on? They take political control of the city, me and the tribes get some territories around the city and serve as Talingarde's army?


Oh, silly Asmodeans, always wanting shiny coins, power and immortality. :3

Us Lamashtan enjoy the more simple pleasures of life, like knitting, taking long walks on the beach, and maiming our foes and then use their fingers to play Mikado.

...

That came off as way creepier than I wanted it to be.

Um, Cynthia...

you do realize that boars are absolutely terrifying and not cuddly in any way?

They're cuddly for Lamashtan standards :3

But yeah, I was referring to the fact that Intimidate, as written, is less effective for a Skinwalker after he/she transforms into a ball of fur(or scales), rage, fangs and cuddliness.


Skinwalker: Face the wrath of nature!
The two guards shivered as the Skinwalker face grew into a bestial muzzle and razor-sharp tusk grew out of her mouth.
Shape-changed Skinwalker: I will bathe in you blood!
Guard 1:Eh,I've seen worse.
Guard 2:She looks kind of cuddly now...

Since I've read Blood of the Moon, I can't take this image out of my head <.<


Have I missed something, or no one didn't submit a Necromancer of some sort? Strange, that's the first thing that I think when someone says "evil campaign", and I was debating myself between that and Cynthia. Stuck with Cynthia because she's a loving, adorable, murdering cultist of a madness deity. :3

Speaking of Cynthia: seeing as I'm tossing aside the most radical views of Lamashtu on the destruction of society to fit the theme of the AP, Stemboy's submitted character and the general Asmodian boundless ambition made me think about something.
If mommy Lamashtu is about the most violent and ruthless aspect of nature, a Lamashtan could maybe also see a society of backstabbing, plotting people as an expression of the survival of the fittest...
Now I'm getting more ideas to flesh out better Cynthia's two personalities *.*

Also, a shame that Zack is no longer a Dread/Warlock hybrid: I'll never be able to call him a Dreadlock D:


@Zachary: So I wasn't the only one that thought Dread would have been awesome here! I was thinking between a Fear in Flesh (Flavor overload!) and a Bloodrager, but ultimately gone with the latter.
Also, more skinwalkers. Mommy Lamashtu is pleased.


Hello, Adahn-Cielo's Bloodrager here!
I, uhm, went a little overboard with the background. It turned out way longer than I expected <.<

Fluffy Bunny:
Marshal Cassius Earthstone entered the room that was the scene of the crime. ”I Can't believe
that skinny girl did all of this...”
he said, while carefully walking through the room to not corrupt any evidence. He pulled out the medical records that the victim was holding.

Medical record of patient HX000342

Height:5'4''
Weight:110 pounds
Age: Unknown, probably in the early twenties
Eyes:Green
Hair:Blonde

Phisical state: The patient appears to be slightly underweight, probably due to malnutrition. The Lamashtan Symbol carved on her belly seems to be healing at an astounding rate, and it's a miracle the patient didn't die for the shock caused by the wound. Her pain treshold must be incredibly high.

Mental state: The patient is still under what seems a state of shock, and barely talked since arriving at the hospital. It appears, from the little info that it was possible to gather, that the patient is delusional and may suffer of Dissociative Identity Disorder.

Notes: The patient has been brought here by a group of Paladins of Our Shining Lord Mitra that were hunting a group of Lamashtu worshippers in the nearby woods. They are believed to be a group responsible for the a number of murders that happened on the last year: every single of them was found butchered and horribly mutilated. There was no trace of them, but they were able to save the patient. Apparently she was found on a pool of her own blood, atop a crude stone altar in a clearing in the woods, with an extremely detailed symbol of Lamashtu carved on her belly. The perpetrator had probably fled already, but the weapon used in that heinous ritual, a dagger made of cold iron, was found near the altar. She was then hastily brought here and healed, but has barely talked since. Tomorrow, I will try again to speak with her. It would be best if I won't talk about what the cultist did yesterday night to her, the poor child.

Doctor Aurin Armitan

Day 2
The patient spoke to me today. She says her name is Cinthya Everbloom. We asked her if she had any relatives, and she replied that she only had her 'mommy'. We searched the city archives, but it appears both of her parents(two farmers, it seems) died years ago, attacked by a pack of wild dogs. At the time, Cinthya was found unharmed.

”I'm not surpised of that: when we barged in with the dogs, she growled to them and they fled like little puppies.” He could hear, from the other room, that the culprit was answering the question of the interrogator with a slow, calm voice. ”I have already told you. He did not understand the greatness of our mother, so I made him beautiful to her eyes, that mother blessing may have fallen on him. My sister wasn't too keen on that, so I took control. We are much alike, me and her, but she can't bring to force herself on people she likes.” Marshal Cassius wasn't there, but he bet that crazy woman was smiling while she was talking. He turned again to the papers.

Day 5
The patient is comfortable around the nurses, and it appears that she took a liking to me. It seems that this 'mommy' she always talks about is one of her delusions:she firmly believes that she's always beside her. Poor Cynthia probably fabricated her to have an emotional support to endure the memories of what happened to her last week.

Day 8
Today, a priest of Mitra was brought at the hospital to bless Cynthia. Her reaction at first was poor to say the least, and she threw a fuss about how her 'mommy' wouldn't want that. Then, it appears, her alternate persona took over, and calmly requested the priest to leave. After he left, I was able to introduce myself to her other persona and talk for some time.
Her mannerism are more mature than the childish ones I usually witnessed, but her too kept referring to the delusion of this 'mother' always with her.

The marshal shook his head ”The poor doctor didn't understand what kind of monster he was talking too: this should have rang a couple of bells, but alas”.
He still could hear the interrogation going nowhere. ”Weapons? This too I just told you: my flesh and my blood are that of my mother. I used the gift she gave me.”

Day 17
The patient's recovery is steadily proceding. It appears that, if she will have people to help her, she will be able to recover. I only hope that she will find good people to love and support her, one day.
I may be able to ask her what happened that night in some time.

Day 28
What Cynthia said today was troubling. I asked her what happened that night, and it appears that it wasn't cultist who wounded her. She carved that symbol on herself, and she is probably the Lamashtan cultist that the paladins were searching for. I tried to explain to her the wrongness of what she did, but she fell silent and didn't reply as soon as I started to tell her what heinous deity Lamashtu is.
I am bound to inform the authorities, but I can testify so that they will be lenient with her. The girl doesn't understand what she's doing, and with guidance she can be set again on the righteous path. Tonight, I will pray to Mitra for her salvation and tommorrow I will go to Cynthia's room to explain her the situation she is in.
May Mitra have mercy on her.

”Oh, how wrong was he” the Marshal said aloud. That morning, as soon as Doctor Aurin Armitan entered the room, that girl leapt onto him and reduced him into mincemeat. No, that's not correct: it's as if she was following some sick and deranged pattern as she cut him into pieces and stitched them back with a neddle and thread she found lying in the room. Truth to be told, the doctor was actually still alive, but not for much, and what that monster did to him was way worse than death.

-^-^-^-^-^-^-

Cynthia was completely in panic.
How did she get there? The last thing she remembers is that she was sobbing in her hospital room. Doctor Aurin said terrible things about mommy, and she didn't know how to explain to him that he was wrong. The doctor was always so nice with her, so she didn't know what to do. Then mommy told her that her sister should take over, and everything would have been fine!
She just wanted the Doctor to like her again...
And now there was this Cassius Earthstone that was saying a lot of lies and nonsense.
At first he said that she was a follower of Lamashtu.
She said yes, because she figured he was talking about mommy.
Then he said that they knew she killed a lot of people.
She said yes, because it was true.
Then he said that she carved the symbol on herself.
She said yes, because that was true, too.
But then he started saying that the Doctor was dead, and that she did it! They described what happened to him, and it sounded like her sister made him pretty just like mommy.
But that couldn't be true! She said again and again to mommy and her sister that the doctor could understand, that with guidance he could be set on mommy's path! She didn't need to do that!
A booming voice interrupted her toughts.
”For the evidence presented by Marshal Cassius Earthstone, By the will of Our Shining Lord Mitra, I declare you guilty of the murder of Aurin Armitan and of all of your other crimes!”

No
Nonono
NonononononononoNO!
That wasn't true! She was framed by that Cassius!
”You're all liars! You! And you! And you! Cassius, all of you, I will have my revenge and feast on your corpses! I will rip you to shreds, and dance on the ashes of those dear to you! I swear!”
She continued to howl curses at the court as the guards dragged her out, towards her brief imprisonement and death...

Crime: well, I'd say murder. Technically, it's also Consorting with dark powers, but I' say murder is the worst offender here.

Objective: 1)Make Marshal Cassius Earthstone pay. *Evil Laugh*
2)Find new followers for Lamashtu: I could see a legion of monstrous humanoid and society drop-off united under Cynthia's banner, ready to be the "Hounds" of the future evil-nation. *Even more evil laugh*

The first would mostly be the objective of Cynthia's "main" personality(the slightly more 'innocent' one), and treat the second as an afterthought. The opposite is valid for Cynthia's more 'cold and calculative' persona.

Random notes:
1)A characteristic of DID, from what I've read, is that one personality has no memory of what the other does, so that Cynthia may continue to go on with the delusion that Cassius killed Doctor Aurin.
2)I made up Cassius because I don't know the names of any of Talingarde's high police officers. If you give me names, I can change that.
3)I think I'll be maxing diplomacy,too.
4)I double-checked, bloodline's claw attacks only activate when I'm bloodraging, so it's even better for infiltrating.
5)I don't have the slightest clue how to play a Barbariab/Bloodrager.
6)English is not my main language, so I'm bound to write something gramatically terrific sentence sooner or later :P
7)My posting time could also be a little strange, as I live in Italy.

Everything's okay? Do I need to tweak anything?
