Hello everyone the game has not died but I have finals this week and rather swamped atm so if everyone can bear with me a moment longer maybe by next Thursday if everyone is alright with that? Does anyone know Capchat I havent seen him for a while now
Aranik climb Manak climb Ok the last few hunters make it up the rope Jushem tossed down and the party sets off in pursuit of the injured elk. Chase setting is now -1 as it took you some time to climb that rocky hill.
still need aranik and mangur if however they dont post by the end of the day I will roll for them
Alright since Jushem was able to lower the rope and reduce the dc you just have to roll again and would make uit up however the chase pace is now at -1 meaning your are one increment behind your quarry least thats how im ruling it which is no big deal anyways Ill wait till everyone who didnt pass rols again
The hunting party sets off after the wounded elk, it leads them doggedly out of the heavy timbered forest up into the hills outside their village where the terrain becomes rather rough.
Chase Modifier is now at 0 Everyone Roll Climb Checks DC 15
YOU SIR ARE ANNOYING! lol *grumble* you with your high rolls totally negating the challenge Before you all head out Roakrak stopseveryone seeing a seperate faint trail spotteed with blood with a great deal of earth roughed up and foliage ripped up. With his knowledge of nature he can tell that there must have been some sort of stag fight and the loser mightve recieved a wound of some type or another. The wounded great elk stumbles off to the side leaving the main trail. What do you wish to do?
Perception checks please
First I need your pace, walking (-1 speed,+1 rest), fast trot(0 speed 0 rest), jogging(+1 speed -1 rest), running (+2 speed, -2 rest), or flat out running(+3 speed -4 rest). Then I need the perception checks I will let you know what you see once I get the speed and all the rolls enjoy the hunt!
Suddenly the party hears the rapid approach of footstpes followed by shouts of query. Then a ragged shout of "In here, I found them!" Comes forth and Col and aband of villagers all armed run in looking about the crypt. Calmly Col strides forward his eyes searching about until they fall on the skeleton's remains. "So it is true, the village fell under a mass attack soon after you all left and then suddenly the skeletons and these walking corpses just start to fade back into the woods many just falling apart." Shaking his head as if in disbelief he continues "This thing must've been some sort of conduit or something, did it say anythingbefore you defeated it? It might be of use laater on, but the village needs your aid and it seems your party did not come out unscathed." Turning he shouts to the escort, "Men help these heros up and lets get them all to town."
The skeleton turns following Devin's odd movements growling loudly and raises its sword swinging at the ranger slicing bodily through his armor across his chest and laughs manically as he watches Devin slump to the floor. Sword If hit
Know Nature 10<:
You can see several prints of deer that roam about this forest. Know Nature 12-14:
Among the deer prints there seems to be a large padded animal with slight indentations among the toes, this would be a tiger, but not the large kind that your tribe fears Also there is smaller but heavier indented prints among the dear hinting that there seems to be a boar taking up residence in your forest perhaps the tiger is hunting the boar or the deer? Know Nature 15-17:
Strangely there is a larger hoof print among the deer but very similar, this is the mighty Megaloceros a true hunters prize. Know Nature >18: Weirdly there seems to be a huge print heading off into the trees, it almost seems to be a mighty Mammoth but oddly it is all alone and there even appears as if one print is heavier than another perhaps an old wound has lamed the beast and it comes here to die?
yep was just checking to make sure these were only ones i was really missing
shano were these the only mega fauna in the bestiary 2? if so think i finally will be able to proceed with this game in the correct sense sorry guys setting up encounters is hard when you have to start all over :(
Would you guys rather see maps in this format or in the excel format? excel little easier but less detailed just let me know aka this is just a sample
The village stretchs out from the woods in the hills sloping gracfully to a stretch of Moolan that the villagers use to fish and wash their skins. The layout is very random people laying out their personal tents whre they wish but all center about the cheiften's central hut or gathering hall as it is the only building actually built out of wood. It is able to hold most of the village in an emergency and is often used as a meeting poiint for the elders. Beside that is the wigwam of the shaman which houses the elderly shaman and his two sons.
After all the goodbyes are made the cheiften Bjorn makes his way out and shouts out to the People thanking them for giving him such a beautiful set of daughters, Recana and Aranik. He gives the warriors set to escort her their final instructions and with a heavy heart watches them trudge off, Recana gatherd up in the middle never looking back as was the treadition.
------At the departure-------- Recana the very picture of a barbarian princess with beautiful furs piled about her and pretty baubles and gems adorned about her hair greets you all in turn thanking you for your kind words. @Gremm Recana smiles benevolently and bows to the young shaman to be accepting the prayer. @Roakrak and Lum Recana giggles as Lum nuzzles her and bends swiftly down to scratch behind his ears. @Aranik Recana regards her sister cooly before a small tear comes to the corner of one eye and she gathers her sister up in a huge hug and whispers "I am afraid but I know the people will look after me and yourself, Take care of father sister" @Narrati Recana bows gratefully letting her guard pile the gifts up on small bundle she would take with her on her journey.
Aranik what are talking about here with scabs just sounded like you just dissed your sister in public lol here this will help with the scabs and for some reason I thought 'help with the crabs' maybe it was because it was so late....
Just need the 2 girls especially aranik for this first part to get ball rolling :)
hello everyone sorry bout that fell sick and just didnt have energy to post as I had exams at same time prioritys :) anyways intro post is up :) lets have fun
The dawn breaks over the eastern mountains but life in the village has already begun. Woman move about doing simple chores, gathering wood and tending the early shoots of a small plot of land that the tribe has set aside to try and grow some bushes that produce sweet tasting berries. Half breed dogs run about the camp barking excitedly as children run about enjoying the freedom of early life. Men of the tribe move around some gathering for the daily hunt the others moving towards the forest to search for more fallen timber. Older tribes members gather around the shaman's hut anxious over his failing health but the stubborn old man still gives praise to the spirits for a beautiful day. The Tribe of the Bear, has only recently settled in this western corner of this fertile river valley. The river, Molaan, spirit of Water, winds itself down through the center of the valley between large mountains that forms this wide expanse of fresh green. However the tribe now gathers about a certain figure. The eldest daughter of the clan chief is being bid farewell by the tribe as she prepares to go to wed the eldest son of the Lynx clan. She will be escorted by the best men of the tribe.
Hmm well I think easiest thing to say is that there is multiple spirits spirit of air and the associated domains, earth etc... unsure about the blood domain though.... Anyways now working on intro post for gameplay and then let the games commence oh on the importance no none of you will be allowed to any meetings "yet"
Yes bear is fine espeically laughable as it is they start small :) and never get large which is funny to me hahaha go wolves :) Anyways animal companions get average Hit die +1 + con which is how you guys when you aquire level 2 is how you gain new hp you all start with max hp this first level though :) anyways clan of the cave bear.....yeah story about a girl...she gets raped....end of story
youve never heard of "clan of the cave bear"?
Damn now I just feel old
NOOOOOO NO NO! no bear clan no repeat movies allowed BAD!
Channel Resistance It takes 1 damage The skeleton takes the wash of energy from the woman laughing not really feeling the slight flash of burning light as yet another crossbow bolt thunks into it's shield. However with the blast of energy it receives from the large cleric the Skeleton howls with rage. The skeleton champion raises its sword in rage and strides forward 1Gaeron 2Devin 3Kyn to Hit if hit The sword slices just shy of Kynneth's throat glancing at the last second of the glowing magical armor. "DIE!"
Lol yes this is homebrew dont think of golorion at all thus why we are making new "gods" mostly I was trying to see if you guys prefer simplistic Father Sky mother earth spirits or a pantheon of different spirits So pretty sure we are making multiple spirits and sorta centering around bear clan?
I actually would like some suggestions but ultimately I wil have to come up with something for your tribes name or how you identify yourself Usually the tribes totemm impacted this choice so in other words Lets get down to religion
on the language its ok to be slightly simplistic but by nomeans go overboard lol just will be harder for me to translate :)
DSP remember there is no heavy shields
Once we get this out of the way we can move on into the story also i am working on intro post to bring you up to speed
Oh and on the discussion of no barbarians Well again we didnt have many submissions for them So had to come down to a choice, the rangers seemed more at least tuned to the needs of a tribe instead of a purely martial character thats only purpose of the class is destruction sorry thats very blunt but had three of the same character pretty much so anyways yeah no barbarians guess you wil have to think of crafty ideas to deal with things
Ok im back ok so lets go down the list of concerns I am percieving, Age, most of you are under the age of 24 being kind there, remember that in harsh enviroments max age was usually 40 due to limited health care as well as limited food supply, We are playing a beginning of a people, just barely out of hunter gather society Aranik while you will have some respect of tribe members you being the daughter do not expect much I am sorry I am not a bigot or anything like that but the truth was most tribes were male dominated we will work on trying to be equal but don't expect the others, especially Jushrem and Manak to just OBEY you thought id clarify that and no we will not delve into sexist comments or anything but I do enjoy heavy rp content instead of a fantasy world whre everyone is hunky dory :) Also Aranik the diplomacy is good FOR later :) at the begining do not plan on being involved in important descisions they will only view you as a young girl since well you are :) On animal companions PLEASE nothing exotic please on case to case basis I will weigh the likely hood of the animals being domesicated granted the world of pathfinder is very different than our own On magic please remember that the use of magic on day to day basis I will frown on lol its probabkly a very very new thing and yto have bunch of kids running around casting spells probably get people nervous :)
Well guys it ultimately comes down to that not many people applied with marital classes as was requested lol. It was either have very small party leaving out alot of good plot hooks I can later use or....well we have you all now haha Also I will address any other questions after my law class so far we just have to set up how you all intereact on day to day basis with tribe before we get rpping and then we set up the religeon of the tribe more details to follow On languages....there are none sorry at least at this time You have common which is the only language the people of the tribe can percieve please trust me this is just beggining stages things make sense once plot rolls in
DSP Roak Narrati I believe if all three of you were related by blood somehow it would definitely account for all of you having magic somewhat in you You 2 could be twins and Narrati is a cousin or some such just a suggestion Yes I didn't intend this to be spellcaster heavy but I was faced with three of the same exact martial character sooo....yeah anyways Actually twins and possible cousin the shaman is your grandfather and is beginning to become elderly thus the rise of DSP's importance to the tribes spiritual needs and thus why he is assigned to this party of fighters though we might change that to scouts really lol instead of warband lol
Alright now that everyone is here we can begin to talk about how we shall set up the tribe so first order of business is backstories You all have been living in this tribe since childhood literally lol so you will all know each other pretty well if some of you wish to be brothers or brother and sister please talk about this now Aranik you don't get a choice :) you are the second daughter of the chieftain
Just waiting on aranik
Hello everyone I will be having everyone sit in and discuss how we will make the society more importantly how you all fit into this stone age tribal system Also as we have quite a few divine casters we will go over the system of gods or spirits setting up domains together to make it work at least partially for everyone Please sign on in at least 2 days time this is so I know who is here and who isnt so I can contact one of the other 2 to fill in and get this story rolling Thank you again everyone and look forward to developing this game as an ever changing environment that you as people will mold along with me as the mere storyteller.
Alright I have made my decision and I will be honest the two I did not pick please pop in everyone in a while to follow along this way if anyone does not check in we will have a ready stand in already as well as unforeseeable circumstances in the future That said: This was a hard and yes long process so again and again I thank everyone for patience with me, please accept my profound grattiude for your interest and your help The characters I have selected please come to the discussion board of this thread and we will begin working on the tribal system you all will be living in. I will give you the two days of discussion to chime in so I know that we are ready to start. That said Darksmoke, Aranik, Edgar, Shano, Ragathiel, and Lloyd your characters were what fit best (this said loosely) and have made the cut Corvus and Standalone, please accept my apologies and please stick around for at least the 2 days of discussion as we may have someone drop now or later and I will need another character, also openings may come up later in the story and I may want someone to play the npcs just so we have other viewpoints as a tribe would have this is a maybe and planned later down the road, thank you again though for your interest and your applications
