Lady Martella Lotheed
It’s a beautiful day in Oppara! The chill of early spring clings to the morning air and a pale lavender mist curls above the River Porthmos as the fishermen bring in the day's catch. As the day progresses, the sun rises from her cloudy bed-curtains and stretches high into an azure sky, burning off the last clinging mists and beaming down her warming rays like a blessing from Sarenrae herself. The sunlight shines so golden off the white stone skyline of Oppara that you could almost believe the long-since stripped roofs and domes of The Gilded City had miraculously regained their precious gilt. Tomorrow is the Day of the Grand Exaltation, where the Taldan nobility will don their finery and make an extravagant show of accepting a commoner into their ranks. Meanwhile, they will put far more effort into furthering their own agendas before the Senate convenes. In a pageant of elegant fashions, they will be vying for advantage. During a sumptuous buffet, they will be jockeying for position. And while Lords and Ladies twirl to magnificent music, who knows what strange bedfellows may arise. And you will be among them. For tomorrow is also the day that the Senate of Taldor will vote on the long awaited repeal of the ancient practice of Primogeniture. And if the repeal is to pass successfully, there is still work to be done. Today, you have a lunch meeting with a mysterious correspondent. You have come to recognize the penmanship in the missives you have received, but are as yet unsure of the identity of your anonymous benefactor. But an advance of 50 gold and an invitation to the most prestigious social event of the season has more than piqued your curiosity. You arrive at the appointed time and place and open the door to a quaint little eatery. Long, golden beams of the afternoon sun dance through the cafe’s smoky interior, highlighting breads, cheeses, and wine bottles behind the only counter. And there the riddle of who has been writing to you is solved. Lady Martella Lotheed smiles in greeting as she motions you closer. She sips casually from a steaming mug, dressed in an elegant but reserved gown — at least by Taldan standards. A hand-sized brass cricket buzzes quietly on the tabletop beside her. “I’m so pleased you could join me for lunch,” she begins. “Please order whatever you like; the fig jam is particularly lovely here. And feel free to speak candidly. I’ve taken measures to ensure our privacy.” She says with a glance down at the little clockwork contraption. "I know that some of you are already acquainted, but others may be meeting for the first time. Please, do not be shy, introduce yourself. We are among kindred spirits here. If you have any questions, please go ahead and ask. We have a long evening ahead of us, and the better prepared we are the better our accomplishments are likely to be." Lady Lotheed’s warm smile sets you at ease, you think back on what you know about her. You may roll Diplomacy to Gather Information, with the intention that the time spent gathering occurred at an earlier time, Knowledge(Nobility) and/or Knowledge(Local) to access the spoilers below:
DC 11+:
The wealthy Lotheed family has been a strong supporter of the Stavians for almost 100 years. They have a long family tradition of arcane magic, adding to their wealth and prestige. DC 14+:
Martella is the black sheep of her family, being a result of an extramarital dalliance with a Qadiran diplomat. She lacks her family’s gift for magic as well, adding to their resentment. DC 20+: Despite her family’s disdain, Martella still commands some wealth and has extensive contacts, having attended the Sinora Academia, Taldor’s most exclusive girls’ school.

Cheerio, everyone! And if you've been directed here by PM, Welcome to the game! I very much enjoy both reading and writing, in-depth characterization, sensory invoking descriptions, convoluted plots and multi-faceted heroes and villains. All of which you will find here in this Adventure! We will begin Gameplay before the actual event that truly begins the Path, so that we can set the tone of the city of Oppara and define the PC's places in it. These "prequel" events can also set-up meetings between the PCs so that at least some characters have some prior associations before the big event, the Grand Day of Exaltation. Please feel free to hammer out any prior associations and relationships here. There will be shopping, meetings, and other preparations in these early days but most of all, there will be celebration! So be sure to tell me how your character likes to party! Gameplay is open for dotting. Be sure to let me know if you have any questions.

"Life in Oppara isn’t difficult to handle, once you’ve learned the rules:
For my 5,000th post on these Paizo forums, it is my very great pleasure to announce that I am opening a Play by Post game of the War for the Crown AP. This Adventure Path has proven to be unfailingly popular and lends itself exceedingly well to the Play by Post format. This game will be recruited by PM, given the wealth of passed over characters in previous recruitment threads for this AP. If you notice this thread and want to submit a character because you missed the more recent recruitments, please contact me via PM. Character Build: Gestalt level 1 character, 20 point buy, Max HP and Max gold per best class. Background skills, no feat-taxes, 2 traits, 1 from the Player's Guide and 1 drawback allowed.

So sorry about my delay, everyone. My charging cord for my laptop got mangled in the inner workings of my recliner and would no longer work to charge the battery. Then it took a little time to find a replacement cord of the right type and get it shipped to me. But it arrived today and now I'm back online and trying to catch up all over the boards. To better facilitate getting chronicles out to everyone quickly once we are done, please reply to this thread with the form below filled out. You may roll day jobs now, if you prefer, or wait until we are nearing the end of the scenario. If you do not roll it before I am filling in sheets, I will complete it as if you had taken ten on the roll. There WON'T be an opportunity to make purchases after the mission briefing, so it would be a good idea to have those resolved before we begin.

You have been called in on another rescue mission, a group of Pathfinders has gone missing. Venture-Captain Calisro Benarry awaits your arrival aboard her ship, The Grinning Pixie. Your destination is the treacherous Gloomspires. Opening gameplay for #7–19: Labyrinth of Hungry Ghosts. Will be contacting the players by PM. As we will begin in transit, it is advised that you finalize purchases before we begin the game.
Hello! I've taken over a Rise of the Runelords game that is in need of fresh recruits. We are only a few days beyond the festival and raid, the characters are currently set to guard Sandpoint while the Sheriff is away. The party currently consists of:
We are in need of a healer and someone able to deal with traps well. I expect to be able to update the game at least 3 times a week, but if we get rolling with a faster post rate, that is fine too. We will be selecting based on how well a character fits the needed role as well as fits in well with the party dynamic. It won't be first come, first served, but I will be looking to pick characters quickly so as not to drum up more interest than we can satisfy. Thanks in advance for your applications! 1st Level
Races: I'm open to most humanoid races, but probably best to steer clear of anything your average commoner would likely expect to be hostile on sight. Classes: I'm open to most classes as well, but best to avoid anything too off-putting. NO EVIL ALIGNMENTS! 2 Traits + 1 Campaign Trait. Players should each select one campaign trait from the Rise of the Runelords Player's Guide or from pages 330-331 of the APG to tie their stories into their recent (or not so recent) arrival in Sandpoint. I am open to most other traits, but remember not to take 2 traits in the same category and please no traits meant for other AP campaigns. Character Background: Please write up a few paragraphs on personal history with some insight on the character's motivations and goals for the future. It needn't be long, but substantial enough to give us an idea of who the character is. If you prefer to provide a roleplaying sample, that will be acceptable as well. Lastly, I will be happy to apply PFS credit once we have completed the sanctioned portions of the AP.

Shrouded in thick fog, the shifting Gloomspires north of the Shackles have long frustrated explorers. However, a recent discovery by the Pathfinder Society has revealed a brief opportunity to navigate the columns safely and search for the lost treasure of the legendary pirate Sevenfingers. The only problem is that the Pathfinders are not the only visitors to the Gloomspires.

Seven years ago, Pathfinders entered Absalom’s shattered Precipice Quarter in pursuit of a ruby ring but also rescued a strange survivor. She has since grown to adulthood and exhibited a rebellious spirit connected to the ruined school where the Pathfinders found her. The woman’s family has contacted the Society, hoping that its agents can escort her back to the haunted site and unravel the Drownyard’s relentless mysteries.

You have traveled to the town of Silverhall in Brevoy, the fortified capitol of the Lebeda family’s territory, on a diplomatic mission for Lady Gloriana Morilla. You and your fellow Pathfinders are now in the audience hall of Silverhall, awaiting the arrival of your hostess.

You have answered the call to volunteer for a search and rescue mission that will take you into the mysterious and treacherous Zho mountains. Your passage is secured to the Pathfinder lodge in Katheer, the capital of Qadira, where you will meet with Venture-Captain Esmayl ibn Qaradi for your briefing. Knowledge(geography) DC 15:
Although the mountains rarely more than 2 miles high, they are nonetheless a formidable barrier between Qadira’s Ketz and Meraz Deserts. Knowledge(geography) DC 20:
Two of the most famous peaks are Zhonar and Zhobl, a pair of large volcanoes that violently erupted nearly a thousand years ago. Diplomacy(gather information) or Knowledge(local) DC 10:
It is common knowledge that the Zho Mountains are home to feral beasts, draconic monsters, and other dangerous creatures. Diplomacy(gather information) or Knowledge(local) DC 20:
Qadira’s spellcasters have long practiced elemental magic and conjured genies, and geniekin are relatively common in the region. It is believed that most have gravitated toward settlements in the Zho Mountains, though nobody seems able to confirm this rumor. Diplomacy(gather information) or Knowledge(local) DC 25:
The few explorers who’ve tried to locate these communities have found the mountains to be deceptively difficult to navigate, and what looks like a mountain pass from afar is often merely a mirage. Opening the thread for preliminaries. This game is for the following players:

I have the privilege of running in really fun, story-rich Kingmaker campaign with a great group of players and GM. I tend to have a more "who are they?" sort of approach when I build a character, and as a result, they are rarely optimized. For the most part, I'm ok with that. I built Seraphina to be an effective sorceress and then later decided I wanted to see her go Dragon Disciple, as well. Upon looking over Oterisk's guide and some of the advice on builds here, I'm concerned she won't be able to pull her weight in combat as is. I may be able to shift the ability stats some if the GM agrees... But the majority seems to go with the higher Str, more melee focused build and I'm really going for more the "Puff the Magic Dragon" idea, strong Caster/Blaster/Buffer who can also whip out her claws and shred if an enemy closes on her. We have a wizard in the group, so she isn't the only arcane caster, but she doesn't have the AC to just wade into melee yet. We don't really have a tank, 1 Dex based fighter, 1 Knife Master Rogue, 1 Cleric/Paladin, 1 Wizard and then me. So how should a caster focused DD build look? I think it might be wise to switch the 14 on Dex to Str, but then I worry I'll miss the bonus to my ranged touch attacks, especially since she's Copper lineage and the Acid spells are often ranged touch. And if I switch to melee touch attacks, I'm back to wading into melee without the necessary AC. She's going up to level 3, so she will finally have her Mage Armor, but I'd hate to think that's enough and be dead wrong! Feats are another thing I'm really unsure of. Combat casting sure seemed necessary, in theory, but then I've had it all along and it's gotten zero use. Did I take it too early? I'm awful at long-term planning and even though there is a lot of info on the right feats to take, I can't seem to get a handle on the order you take them. Help?
Her high Cha really must stay though, as she's the only one in our group with high Cha for the Leader role. Sera's not power-hungry, but her player has dreams of seeing her become "Our Lady of the Shining Scales, Queen of the Salvaged Lands." ^_^ Current build, Sorceress Level 2: Strength.........11 Dexterity........14 Constitution...12 Intelligence....12 Wisdom..........10 Charisma........18 Seraphina Medvyed

'Stand by...' You think bitterly to yourself for maybe the fifth time today as you can't help but look up as the Inn door opens again. And again you sigh and fidget restlessly as you think again,
But this time, after nearly a week of downtime with noting to do but spend your own gold, you see a familiar face behind the door. The studious Pathfinder your group was sent to rescue last time, Cestis, waves as he enters with a hastily scrawled note clenched in his hand. He looks completely recovered from his ordeal. He quickly assembles your team and bids you to hurry and gather your gear. "Venture Captain Themis needs to see you at the Cassomir Lodge immediately. I'm to guide you there. These are the Pathfinders she's selected for the next mission." 1) Odo the Bold - Paladin 2
Once ready, Cestis guides the party to the small Pathfinder lodge here in Cassomir. Venture-Captain Hestia Themis, a small, dark-haired, and dark-eyed Taldan woman, sits in her offices, looking even more mousy and diminished behind her enormous blackwood desk. She clears her throat and looks up at you with red-rimmed eyes.
Venture-Captain Themis rises and paces back and forth behind her desk. “Arieta told me of an artifact she saw while in captivity below Cassomir. This artifact, called the jet rat, is known to us, but we must confirm that what she saw is indeed true. She claims to have seen it transform normal rats into something bigger, more vile and mean. If that’s true, the artifact she saw down there is old, evil, and should be stored safely in the vaults beneath the Grand Lodge in Absalom where we can study, catalog, and examine it. Worse, she claims to have seen this object in the hands of the derros, vile Darklands creatures that we have long suspected are lurking below Cassomir. Since your group brought us news that the derros were involved with the Cult of Nature's Cataclysm, I knew you would want the chance to follow up. I have a map here that shows the location of the sewer grate Arieta was dropped through when she was kidnapped. She could not, due to her fever, recall much about how she got to the location where they kept her in captivity, but she knows where they dropped her into the sewers and you’ll find that location on this map.” Themis stops pacing and eyes you across her desk. Though her tone is all-business as usual, her eyes burn with a vengeful fire.
I've been arguing with myself about some decisions on the new Bard I'm building for Pathfinder Society and thought I'd seek some input from folks on the boards. I mean for her to be a classical bard and want to maximize her ability to aid her allies with her vocal performance. This is what I have for her thus far, just a starting point really. Build so far:
AZURA ~BLUEDOVE Female Human Bard 1 None Medium humanoid (human) Init +2; Senses Perception +4, DEFENSE

I'm not sure on several choices though, I'll detail my thoughts below: Race?
Azata-Blooded (Musetouched) template:
Azata-Blooded (Musetouched)
The musetouched epitomize freedom and joy, and travel the world to liberate less fortunate individuals. Ancestry Azata Typical Alignment Cg
before she moves to level 2. I prefer the character flavor of the Musetouched and there are some strong benefits to a musetouched bard. Glitterdust as a SLA and I could have her +2 Inspire Courage as early as 4th level and her +3 by 8th (normally have to wait for 11th!) Hmm, now that I did that math, the extra feat, skill points and bonus bard spells from the human are looking less and less attractive. Archetype?
Traits?
Feats?
Thoughts? Thanks in advance for any input.

The door to the front door of the Inn opened abruptly and a skinny youth stumbles over the entryway as he is ushered, somewhat roughly, into the room by a hulking man with a sour look on his face. A woman with a similar expression and a quick, determined step follows behind them. She gives the innkeeper a brief smile and then surveys the room with a critical eye.
Venture-Captain Hestia Themis, a small, unassuming woman of Taldan heritage with dark hair and eyes, holds a large sheaf of papers in her small hands and clears her throat. Her booming voice, the antithesis of her stature, fills the sprawling common room of the quaint Inn in the Taldan city of Cassomir. “One of our own has been kidnapped. Pathfinder Cestis was taken just days ago from a relics auction in the Imperial Naval Shipyards, and we believe his disappearance to be related to the six dozen or so kidnappings of the last several months. Now that one of our own is missing, this has become a Society matter—something we’ll get to the bottom of.”

The inn was the sort of place the pampered might call "charming" with a derisive sneer as they passed on by, but Pathfinders were more practical than that. Especially when they must be. The directions included in your note were a bit obscure, seeming to double back on themselves along the bustling dockyards of Cassomir before reaching your destination. You pull the now well worn paper from your pocket and review it once more for good measure. Pathfinders,
If it were not for the nondescript sign painted in blue paint holding an olive branch in its beak, you could not be sure you'd found the place. The business simply proclaims itself "Inn" on it's moisture warped and weathered sign. The image of the dove looks curiously like graffiti, definitely fresher by comparison. As you enter the door, you begin to notice discrepancies to the unkempt appearance of the outer facade. The interior is solid, though still simple. The main bar in the open common room looks as if it may be one solid piece of dark wood that has been polished so well it gleams in the lantern light. The place is less crowded than you might expect it to be as well with only a few patrons and one barmaid. She looks up and meets your eye as you enter, giving a polite nod. Welcome to our Discussion thread! I'd like for us to use this for both off-duty roleplay as I've introduced above and any out-of-character discussion players prefer to have. Tactical ooc discussion is fine to post on the gameplay thread since that is where it is most relevant. This roleplaying is just my personal campaign flavor and does not "count" toward your PFS credit. It's just for fun if anyone is interested. ^_^ This is a bit of flex time before the V.C. arrives to brief you all. Feel free to narrate your lead up to entering the Inn, speak to the barmaid, order something, look at other patrons askance or whatever you like. Please do include at least a short description of your character's appearance. As for the parties, I had drawn up my own in an attempt to round out the teams. Looks pretty close to what Broken Prince posted on recruitment, I had just swapped out the rogues and druids I think. Let me know if you see a problem or just want to trade to play with friends. Proposed Teams: Team - Alpha (or could name the teams?) 1)'Hellion' Svetlana Irriseni - Fighter 2 2) Li Shuo - Zen Archer/ Qinggong Monk 2 3) Jorag - Cleric 1 4) Frindlikh Ardig - Rogue 1 5) Otiophon - Paladin 1 6) Mujenbai Kayunga - Saurian Shaman 1 7) Marco Vail - Sage Sorcerer 1 ----------------------------------------------- Team - Beta 1) Odo the Bold - Paladin 2 2) Dietrich Wenger - Fighter 1/Rogue 1 3) Selter Sago de'Morcaine PFS - Druid 2 4) Marla Gunddur - Summoner 2 5) Tanselle Bashar - Gunslinger 1 (Yes, the namechange is fine.) 6) Tresca Versei - Alchemist 1 7) Gaius Pellandir - Sorcerer 1
Greetings and salutations, Pathfinders! I am an aspiring Pathfinder Society GM and I'm planning to start my first PFS PBP game this week, so I am officially opening recruitment. I intend for this to be an ongoing Play-by-Post game beginning with The Devil We Know-Part 1 (Tier 1-2). We will play the whole series, 1-4, in order and follow that up with Darkest Vengeance. Beyond that, we shall see! I am known to cater to friends with requests. ^_~
I have a lot of affection for the Play-by-Post format. I like that it gives players the opportunity to really think through their character's actions, strategize and plan with their teammates and really flesh out their PC's personalities with (at least a little!) characterization and role-playing. If you apply to this game, please be prepared to do more than post a one-line directive with all the flare and personality of "rook to queen bishop 4". Players should:
As your GM, I will:
Looking forward to running a good game for my fellow Pathfinders!
I am very pleased to announce that Tyler, TX is having it's First Annual Comic Con and Sci Fi Convention. Yes, that's right... East Texas is finally getting it's Geek on October 26th and 27th at the Quality Inn Conference Center! Whoo hoo! My friends and I are bringing a Pathfinder Society presence and we are planning to run three tables over the course of the weekend. I'll be running part one of First Steps on Saturday, the 26th at 4pm and my good friends will be running The Midnight Mauler at 9am and Mists of the Mwangi at 4pm on Sunday, the 27th. I hope we can meet some new Pathfinders and have an absolute blast! Feel free to post questions here or PM me for more info. Happy Gaming! ^_^
Their journey had been a long one and especially tiring as of late. One can only subsist on bedding rough and choking down jerky and dry rations for so many days before it takes its toll. It did not help matters that young Ravencourt had taken to brooding recently. Donovan would attempt a smile for curious glances but there was no denying he was in a more somber mood than was his usual habit. The whole company was in low spirits this morning. Unusually quiet as they gathered up camp and set off on the last leg of their journey. Perception DC 15: You detect on the morning air the sweet smells of hardwood smoke and cooking meat. The smell is faint, but definitely drifting to you on the breeze coming from the direction you’re travelling. For many of you, the smell prompts a physical reaction from noisy stomachs and watering mouths. You suspect you have not far to go before you find civilization again at last.
Hello and welcome to the planning and discussion thread for my Ravenloft Romp mini-campaign! First order of business is to check in and ground our characters in Golarion and give them a common recent history whereby they will have travelled together as companions and possibly friends. You will be stopping to rest, re-equip and celebrate your recent victory over...? The character invitation list:
Greetings and salutations! I am new to PbP, but I have entirely too much time on my hands this summer and wanted to try my hand at GMing a favorite old 2nd Ed AD&D module I've been holding onto for... well, we won't so say how long precisely. ^_~
The story will find an already established party of adventurers between jobs/causes travelling through an unfamiliar area and stopping in a small town during festival time for rest/relaxation/re-equipping. You are meant to be in an "off-duty" state of mind and eager to interact with your companions as well as the folk of the town. I'll need to look into how you convert 2nd Ed AD&D, and I might have to take some liberties with the rules for the sake of the story of the module (hopefully not though). I'll be able to update several times a day on most days and would prefer players to be able to weigh in at least daily as well. So what do you think? Sound like fun? Questions? Comments?
I've just started a new Council of Thieves campaign and am trying to finalize my character. I initially chose the Urban Ranger, but I've also been looking at the Infiltrator and maybe even just leaving it a straight Ranger and choose urban terrain. What is most beneficial for CoT? (Note: I don't actually want spoilers! Just some input on good choices) My party:
STATS (rolled and adjusted for race)
First Fav Enemy: Outsiders (Evil) Planning to choose Archery style and get the animal companion. Also may attempt the Switch Hitter from TreantMonk's guide as I am the last line of defense for our spellcasters.
