At this point, the two large Half-Orcs standing near the bar begin to move into the crowd. They are tough-looking characters, with bandanas on their heads and no shoes on their feet. "That'll be enough of that!" one of the half-orcs yells out in common. The other starts speaking in Orc to Grunt, trying to get him to comprehend. When it is clear that Grunt wouldn't be communicating back, the half-orc guards grow increasingly angry. They make the ruffians in the bar sit back down, and threaten to kill anyone who starts a fight. "DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME? YOU.... ARE.... AN.... IDIOT!" says the larger of the two, and they both begin laughing at Grunt. The two half-orcs seem to be enjoying using Grunt as a tool for their amusement.
At this point, the bar is growing crowded. Night is beginning to fall. There are pirates and ruffians scattered at the various tables along the back. There's also a group of 4-5 females who seem to be attempting to solicit their "goods" to the sailors. You notice a few of the women will trickle out among the crowd, talk to a few of the men, then head into the back with them. The bartender is a tired-looking old man who doesn't appear to be enjoying himself. There are two large, beefy half-orcs standing on either side of the bar that seem to be the "security".

Right now, this is a prequel I have made. The AP seems to start in media res, which I dislike. However, as far a combat goes, is anyone opposed to using Roll20 for maps, pawns, and such. It doesn't have to be done in real time, and you'll still post in here, it just makes it easier to see a map and you'll be able to move your pawn. Also, I want to gauge your interests in doing a "live" game on Google Hangouts or Roll20, where everyone gets on at the same time and plays live. It would be at a time that works for everyone, and if we can't find one, we don't have to do it. I just know that combat can get lengthy in a PbP.
The Formidably Maid is a bar frequented by some of the worst characters, in one of the worst towns in the whole Inner Sea. Her reputation precedes her; everyone knows about the rough crowd that goes into there. Some don't ever walk out. It's often used as a pirate hangout while they are in port. Many of the pirates get paid just before getting off their ship, and all they want is the nearest rum they can find. Just outside the Formidably Maid, there are numberous large ships at port. They dwarf you as you walk down the road, with the sea on your left, and the shops and town to your right. Your characters are here, in Port Peril, the capital of the Shackles, for whatever reason. Roleplay how you got here, what you plan to do, etc. Remember, you're in a pirate capital."
They allow you to do more things. Everyone starts with 2 fame, 0 PP, and 0 Hero Points. From there, I'll tell you when you gain PP and Hero Points, but not fame. Fame changes more, and I'll tell you when you hit benchmarks.
