Roll for Morven:
Profession Sailor1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

@ Morven and Mirandir
You are not used to the fully batoned sails and with the wind picking up, you struggle to adjust them in time, causing the ship to lurch from side to side.

Mirandir manages to keep a steady hand on the helm to maintain the course, however the ship rocks uncomfortably.

@Salty
The crew find your meal wholly unpalatable. Most laugh it off, saying things like... I see why they call you Salty , or Did you make this with sea water?
Your earlier efforts with making friends mean they are not too upset but it is noted that most go to work hungry, leaving food on their plates.

@Nayli
Bryan says "The esteemed gnome? Dunno what you mean? He always seems a fairly stand up chap to me. Never afraid to get his hands dirty. I don't think he is hiding anything. Not like the Master of Sail. Rumor is that her and the Captain like a bit too much of each other, if you get my drift? Like to see a bit more of each other than is professionally required. With that, he gives Nayli a friendly nudge and says It's a good job we don't need to dot his quickly. I'm not denying the job you done is good, but I've done 4 planks in the time you done two.

@Elenia
You notice 2 duplicate entries in the log books and correct this. Everything else appears to be above board. You are studying Mr Stokes' office. most of the books in his bookshelf appear to be navigational charts for other regions. Some history books are amongst the shelves as well as the spell book that you discern is definitely a Wizard's spell book. During your shift, Mr Stokes comes in, double checks your figures and asks a couple of questions about stock which you answer promptly, nods in approval and goes to the top deck. As he leaves, he says "I've thought about what you said and if you are looking for some extra knowledge, come and see me when you are not on shift and I may be able to teach you some things. However, come with an open mind. don't presume that you will teach me something I have dedicated most of my life to."

@Joan
You do an adequate job of cleaning the Captain's cabin. Towards the end of the shift, the Captain wakes. She asks you to fetch her her uniform, which you do promptly. She then requests you make up her bed and tidy her desk ready for the next day's sailing.

@All
Your shifts come to an end. The wind is still picking up as you make your way down below decks. The boat begins to rock but not uncomfortably as yet. You eat your evening meal and fill out the rest of the evening talking amongst yourselves and the crew. You all tidy your bunk areas. You go to bed, marking ready for a good sleep, prepared to get up at 12.30am for the next watch.

Sometime whilst you sleep, you are awoken suddenly by the sounds of the ahip's bell ringing and Errol and Brayan shaking you awake. They say that Storm's on the horizon, Cap'n needs all hands on deck.

They dump some waterproof coats and hats on you.

Make ready to rush up on deck.

To be continued tomorrow

Hi all just to reiterate please make all changes to character sheets that you have stated previously before Monday.

I appreciate that so far it has been quite heavy on the story building and lighter on the RP but we are getting to the RP soon. As soon as you set sail, you will be somewhat freer to do as you wish.... within reason.

Have a Happy Easter weekend if you celebrate it or a good weekend otherwise. Will post tomorrow.

I want to shamelessly promote my new campaign here:

There And Back To See How Far It Is.

Bump

(Hypocritical bump) whats the plan guys back to camp.

Hello all Judd’s the name. And thanks for letting me join your group at such short notice. It seem the group has a very strong dynamic already and I hope my dwarf will fit right in.

On that note may I introduce...

it bneing 2AM real time. (joke) I need to retire good match and an awesome point for an introduction.

@ Markellus: Maybe drop the accent entirely but instead use colloquialisms, turn of phrase and or strange sayings/metaphors.

I.e. Thicker than a Satyr's Jockstrap etc. Well maybe a tad more serious.

“Don’t you know who I am?” by either using witty repartee or sheer bluster Florin is able to talk his way out of or into anything. (I see it useful for acquisitions or for confusing would-be attackers. quite subjective and don’t know mechanically how it would work but something on those lines)
Or
Lucky. some kind of re-roll
Or
Well connected. Network of informants
Or
Just re-instate my bardic knowledge

Hope that gives you some ideas

Florin De Poisse, Human Bard.
Korganna Skullcracker, Half-Orc Oracle.
Dorrak Garrum, Dwarf Cleric.
Erodel, Human Fighter.

Sorry if I missed anyone.

Disclaimer: Please I don’t want you to think like I’m stepping on your toes in any way. with a day left I just wanted to get a picture of the race for the finish and at the same time show my continued interest.

@RPers: Never been a fan of this style before but you have all kept me very entertained you guys have some nice themes going and given me some great ideas. So cheers!

Best of luck all

Hi all Posting Character for approval.(will make alias in time.)

Name: Florin De Poisse
Concept: Foppish Son of a noble family seeking a life of fame and fortune.
Group roll: Face of the group, lots of skills and socialising.
Race/Class: Male Human Bard (Arcane Duelist)
Appearance: Hair is tied back with a length of silk, very clean complexion, nobleman’s moustache and neatly trimmed beard.
Wearing: Armour of the De poisse family household guard, (Heraldry is of a magical bottle with overflowing contents.)fur lined riding gloves and high boots with spurs.
Bio: The De Poisse family are wealthy land owners in Varisia. They made their money brewing alchemical substances and poisons in Cheliax and later decided to move north to become land barons. It is a life that until very recently has been very profitable. Florin is the only child of Marc and Anne De Poisse Current patrons of the family. As a child Florin was given every comfort. An education, fencing tutor, servants and the skills of diplomacy he would need to later run the estate. The one thing however that he was lacing was friends, so as he grew older he became more selfish and arrogant. Whilst he grew in age the fortunes of his family began to dip, the grounds were constantly being invaded by unsavoury creatures and characters and this put strain on Florins father. The breaking point came however when it came about that one of the scullery maids was pregnant with the illegitimate child of her and Florin, his father ever the tactful lord paid the maid to leave and sent florin away to “learn of the world and its people.” so equipped with the finest weapons and armour available Florin set out to learn of the world.

Ps. fair play rolling up a character quite so fast that’s a skill!

i'll make up the Vital stats on the sheet

Plot points for Backstory
Prior escapades of the Blades of Golarion: (ideas)
How we met?
Well Kergrik set out from Druma into Kyonin but was turned away. He then moved up the Sellen River directly to Mendev … well almost…
First call to arms: (votes for best or any suggestions/alterations)
1. Investigation of large Undead presence in southern Mendev
2. Escort mission for Alkenstar emissary/siege engineer
3. Recon for Lord Nicoli of Brevoy’s cavalry division.
Most recently:
1. Foiled the sabotage of the allied artillery
2. Pre-emptive strike at daemons
3. Defence of civilians vs minor incursion
All feedback appreciated.

how bout I draft a few ideas then we add to them as time goes by

what is the order of of DM? and could I go second? also any one care if i write some back story of our pevious adventure?

Ah I see well best of luck.

Appreciated I’m the new guy but I feel that maybe a postpone would be good lets us all cross the i’s and dot the t’s also it wouldn’t be the same starting without Nightflier we’ve come this far.
To conclude 1 vote for postpone

Height: 4'1".
Weight: 171lb.
Hair: Dyed deep red and spiked with animal fat, beard is long and plaited also stiffened with animal fat.
Eyes: Deep blue.
General Appearance: Kirgrik is shorter and has a wiry frame, his face is scared as are his fore arms and shins.
Demeanour: Frantic impatient and reckless, talks fast and tends to use confusing metaphors of his own creation.

His father was a thane in the Five Kings Mountains from a very old linage and not very progressive one. Kergrik's ancestors ranged from xenophobic at best to downright racist at worst. The Karak clan was openly distrustful of all but the most ancient alliances.

Coming from a relatively large family of 3 siblings Kergrik was the youngest of his 3 brothers 2 became priests; one of Torag and the other of Kols. His eldest brother became a Shield barer for the high king. it was suspected that Kergrik would join the army as he had never shown much aptitude for religious studies. so it was a shock when one day kergrik announced that he wished to live the life of a 'Caver' (Dwarven Ranger).

Setting out it soon became clear that whist he was no slouch in combat and navigation he lead expeditions on strange, impractical and often unnecessarily dangerous routes. More than one occasion it was suggested that maybe he should seek an adventuring party to travel with.

The carefree life of an adventurer suited Kergrik settling upon the dedicated combat role within his party as he had no practical experience of surface life or navigation.

Kergrik became a member of the Blades of Golarion...
(i will try to link into everyone else’s back story as an when it comes available)

2d6 + 6 ⇒ (6, 5) + 6 = 17
2d6 + 6 ⇒ (5, 2) + 6 = 13
2d6 + 6 ⇒ (2, 3) + 6 = 11
2d6 + 6 ⇒ (1, 3) + 6 = 10
2d6 + 6 ⇒ (6, 5) + 6 = 17
2d6 + 6 ⇒ (1, 4) + 6 = 11

I can feel my ears burning.

first to say hi all, I'm Judd

just wanted to make my presence known I've been reading back dialog love the idea of the campaign. still like to be a part of this but i would understand if you have too many people, ive DM'd a large group before it can be a bit of a hassle.

rgadless i still intend to follow the progress of the BoG (love a good story me!)

Hi guys just wondering if that last place was still available?
just a question what happens to the DM's character when they're in the 'hot seat?
otherwise i could be a part of this.

my DM style is quite Railroaded (banned word nowadays i know) aiming for more of an 'out of the box style' of challenge solving. risk and reward is very much my mantra.

Hi I'm Judd, Southampton, Hants. I'm part of the whole Kilcoyne Stormchaser group.

Note:
I have added to Baal's Bio (Again sorry for the length; on a roll here):

Baal:
Born: in the Cargo Hold of Kelizandri's Blessed Wake (a slaver cargo ship), docked in Port Peril, The Shackles at the time.

Mother: Dhia

Between Ages 0 to 4: Dhia worked as an indentured servant for Vladimir 'The Tempest Duke' Kislev (a member of the Council of Free Captains). As part of the terms of service between them, she was to live and work in the house in exchange for food and lodgings.

Between Ages 4 to 22: Baal lived, trained and worked for the Brotherhood for the Protection of Free Trade. This consisted of the amalgamation of the Brotherhood of Blades Mercenary Company and the Golden Scales Trade Caravan Group.

Baal's contract was purchased by the Brotherhood at aged 4 as it was seen as an investment by the group's leaders to buy children and teach them moral right, wrong and dubiously grey. Throughout his career as a mercenary, he was paid for his service. By the age of 22, he had built up a reasonable account with the Pay Master, his payment mainly being in the form of Gems, Spices and Illicit Substances.

After reaching Katapesh, he decides to retire from the life of a mercenary, and begin a life of adventure searching for his heritage...

SJ,
if u click on the alias of the char u get their sheet took me time to work it out too.

HP roll lvl 2

1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

As promised:

Baal-Ullar, born of an orc mother into slavery in the Shackles. After the natural death of his mother and 18 years of servitude he had earned his freedom, working as a mercenary. Now with the 'profits' from his last job he seeks the truth of his past and ancestry.

Every night he has prolific dreams of flying and a large silver dragon...

(like the sound of the RP with Caelius.)

Hi, also interested in a position thinking of a half-orc sorcerer aiming for dragon disciple i'll take array 1 (18 too tempting and i'll live with the 8!)

more to follow
