Hello Everyone!

I'm a newb DM looking to start up the Carrion Crown adventure path with a group of 5 individuals. Currently, I have a RL group that is going through the campaign and is just finishing up Book 3.

I have found some extra time, and I want to get my feet wet with PBP DM'ing. This will be my first foray into PBP DM'ing, so any players who would like to play must be able to deal with any shortcomings I may have on my side. I'm willing to learn, and I ask for patience.

So with that out of the way, who's interested in playing a horror campaign? ;)

====================================
Character creation guidlines
- Looking for characters with good flavor for the setting. Please read through the free Carrion Crown (CC) player's guide. Try and get into the mood presented throughout. :)

- Although a horror game it is, I want a heroic feel to the campaign as well. So I'm hesitant to allow Evil alignments. However, if I see a character with some good flavor, I'll handwave that restriction.

- All character's must have had a relationship to Professor Lorrimor. This will be represented mechanically with a trait from the CC player's guide. Lorrimor was a respected or an admired figure in your character's life.

- I would like to see a brief personality description, and some background info. A paragraph for each will suffice, your legacy is going to be crafted from this adventure, so it doesn't have to be extensive :)

The Crunch
- Allowed books : Pathfinder Core rules, Advanced player's Guide, Ultimate Combat, Ultimate Magic, Carrion Crown Player's guide.
All character choices must come from these books, this includes feats, race selections, spells, items, classes etc.

- All players will start at level 1, with Max HP, and Maximum starting gold.

- 25 point buy.

- 2 traits, one of which must come from the CC player's guide.
===================================

Any questions or comments please do not hesitate, I'll make my choices for character's by Sunday, June 10th.

My most epic character death was a Faerun game a while back, with my rogue.

I was a Rogue/Swashbuckler/Avenger, started with petty thieving, repented to a Cleric of Lathander, afterwards I played him as an impulsive do-gooder, who turned to foolish and daring if you threatened the well-being of his friends and interests. His motto was 'The only way is all the way." And he got in so much Hyjinx trying to make sure the party and town were protected from threats and spies I'm surprised my character lasted to the end of the campaign.

The term Justice-Ninja was used synominously with my character...

It was the BBEG battle, and his army of orcs marching on our beloved town.

The party had just re-grouped from each dealing with their own threats in the war. (Mine was usurping the enemies spy network, draft them into the war and send them to fight their own armies... getting themselves massacred in the process. It was a high-magic campaign, and I had a mindbender cohort.)

Anyways, We were on a bridge watching the BBEG (a super-wizard with an artifact that gave him infinite spell slots...) and our party wizard was counterspelling him a lot and was running out of juice.

Needless to say we were boned once our wizard ran out of spell slots.

The DM mentioned that we had to destroy the artifact to really have a chance (It was a visible medallion), However outright destroying it would cause a catasrophic explosion.

I had some abilities to Dimension door, and a cloak of the mountebank. Which also D-doored. Both abilities could carry more than just me...

I did some math with my Warblade partner, figured out that I could bring him with me if I teleported right to the BBEG. He dropped some gear and readied an action ;)

We looked at each other, nodded, and I bamfed us towards the wizard.

My Warblade friend managed to sunder the artifact, and the resulting explosion damaged my partner, and I somehow was unscathed (YAY improved Evasion!) Only problem was we were now some undisclosed distance away from the ground.

That was when my DM mentioned I couldn't use any magic... I was like "wha!?" as I was crossing out the spellslot for Featherfall.

apparently I was supercharged from the artifact, and using my magic would cause another mini-explosion.(An avenger is a good-aligned Assassin...)

The Warblade hit the ground, made his massive damage check.

I rolled a 1. The only number I could roll to fail a DC15 fort save.

Seeing it, I tell my DM that I wanna go out with a bang....

I use some acrobatics checks to move myself while falling, and go above the river that ran through the town we were defending, which was being frozen over by the BBEG and allowing another attack vector into our town. (One we hadn't considered. It was a loose end we didn't know how to deal with. Our resources had been taxed to the extreme.)

I use my 2 or 3 actions I had to move over the Ice, and start to nova my magical powers. I timed it to when I hit the Ice.

The DM was lenient, and when I mentioned, I want to hit the ice so hard, and with the explosion, I want to break up the ice. He let me charge into the Ice in my own personal Dragonball death sequence.

This resulted in a whole legion of orcs to fall into the waters. Most of them drowned, the ones that made it were easy pickings for our archers...

A few days passed and my character was regarded as a hero by the town. Atmos the Saint!

I then had a conversation with Lathander and my Fey Grandma(Heritage feats...), Lathander was impressed with me, and asked how far I'd go to protect what you love? (a running theme for my character was the "To hell and back" meme-thing) I said I would go to the furthest depths of hell to save them.

Lathander smiles, next thing I know, I'm walking out of a beam of light from the heavens smack dab in town square...naked.

Atmos the Saint has been ressurected by Lathander himself... With the Saint template. :)

And, as luck would have it. Our groups reincarnated Hell-reaver paladin's soul was being contested by the courts in the nine-hells(this is a whole other story Arc.).

One way tickets were offered as a safe passage... The way out was to be left to us...

I let out a heavy sigh that session lol.
