So here's the gameplay thread guys, you have all received letters a few days ago from captain Raichus, summoning you for an unspecified duty. You are now in the room awaiting his arrival. Gl and Hf :)

You are sat around a large wooden table, it has many scratches and furrows from the hundreds of meetings that must have been held here. The lack of windows and thick stone walls give it a very damp dingy feel, but comfort was not part of the engineers design portfolio. Secrecy is the main design here, the only way to enter this room is down a singular corridor, with a pair of guards every fifteen feet. The entrance is placed in a brothel, no-one would look twice at the collection of odd people parading through at strange hours.

Looking around, you see other people around the table looking as in the dark as you are, you may have vaguely hear of some by word of mouth, but you are certainly not aquainted with any of them.

After given you sufficient time to ponder, Captain Raichus prowls into the room with two honor guard. Normally only the crown would be permitted to use the guard, the fact that he has entered with them speaks of the urgency and instability of the situation.

He looks around the room, clearly commiting each face to memory, gives a quick cough to clear his throat and starts talking.

Ah I see you all made it, I am sorry for the way you were led here, bags over the head and such, but we can't risk you knowing the location untill you've left, this meeting success is imperative, and we couldn't risk one of you betraying us before we even began.

He walks over to the empty seat on the table, goes to sit down, and thinks better of it. Instead he paces back and forth, glancing up at the faces of the occupiers, gauging their reactions.

The crown has a problem, as I'm sure you know there is wide scale chaos, a mass call for laying down of arms whilst the death count is higher than most wars. This seems too convinient. People like armies, people feel safe when armies are watching over them, everyone knows what these riots are doing to our populace, yet they keep going. There doesn't even seem to be any particular objective to them, just death and chaos. There must be an instigator, a person or an organisation behind this. We must find them, and we must stop them.

Now, why have I brought you here for this? Well, our spies are dead. All of them. The phrase, they have been infiltrated is unable to cover the magnituted of this situation. We don't expect your undying loyalty to the crown, we don't expect you to follow the laws in your completion of this assignment. We just want it done, and we are prepared to offer you substantial compensation. Anything you want, within realistic terms, we are prepared to give. However, know this. Betray us, and not just you will suffer, anyone who associates with you, any friends, family, will feel the wrath of the crown. And you, you will not just be killed, believe me I've seen what they do and I'd sooner kill myself, so bare this in mind before you make a decision.

Captain Raichus stops pacing, he looks up at all of the rooms occupants and looks each one in the eyes as he says

You don't have to do this, we only ask that if you turn us down, you do not speak of this, or we will find you, and you will die. However, think back to what I said, anything you want, shall be yours. Money, land, power. You can have any of them, just kill these instigators and leave their corpses for the crows

I'm looking for 4-5 players to play a pbp pathfinder campaign that I have created.

Backstory:
The land of Ulrun is at unrest. Peace has reigned for the last 20 years, after the last barbarian clans were wiped out, the crown has slowly been dissolving its large scale military forces and as such, only the first legion still remains.

However, crime and murder is at its highest levels in the last hundred years, many long secured alliances between houses have fallen to infighting and the long standing kingdom of Ulrun looks like it may be on it's last legs.

The players will start the campaign by receiving a summons from Commander Raichus, commander of the first legion and the kings right hand man. The players can be mercinaries, spies, loyal supporters of the king or any reason that you can think of why you would accept the summons.

This will be a human only campaign, but the humans of ulrun are very diverse and as such you can play any of the core races but they would be more like a short stocky human (for a dwarf) etc.

I will be using obsidian portal for the maps/characters etc so you guys can see all the data as I add it there.
