Heya, folks. Been eagerly awaiting the start of my Jade Regent game. My group has attempted to run several Paizo APs in the past (Crimson Throne three times, Runelords twice, Carrion Crown one and a half, etc.), but a combination of real-life interruption and our group's general lack of subtlety have lead to many, many untimely and horrible deaths, often of our entire party.
But, by choosing a mostly linear campaign and giving my PCs an opportunity to expand their toolset through the gestalt class rules, I'm hoping that, this time, we will finally succeed in completing an entire AP... or at least more than just the first two books of one.
Allow me to introduce our cast of characters:
ZAPHAEL, a human(-ish) Forgemaster Cleric/Sorcerer. Created in a lab on the planet Apostae, the gray-skinned and red-eyed Zaphael spent the formative years of his life in a simulation of Golarion in which he was born and raised a dwarf. Through some miracle or random happenstance, he escaped from this simulated reality, stumbled through a mysterious portal, and ended up in the woodlands outside of Sandpoint. He was found and rescued by Koya Mvashti, a local fortune teller and cleric of Desna, who nursed him back to health and helped him learn about the apparently "real" world he now found himself in.
MOLINDO, a half-orc Spirit Slayer/Invulnerable Rager. Found as a youth and raised by the elven ranger Shalelu, Molindo learned the arts of hunting and survival from his adopted mother/big sister. Stoic and not particularly concerned with personal grooming, the hulking half-orc carries an axe nearly as large as he is and dresses in dark clothing that further accentuates his brooding, intimidating demeanor.
LORD BRIXTON VONDRESSLER, an aasimar Paladin/Oracle of Life. Heir to a noble estate in Magnimar, Brixton is tall and strikingly handsome, with (literally) leonine features that are a direct result of his celestial heritage. His family shares an old friendship with the Mvashtis of Sandpoint, stemming from a disastrous hunting accident decades ago. Brixton was asked by letter from Koya to travel to Sandpoint, as the old seeress claims to have been sent a vision from Desna that his presence would be important in events soon to unfold.
SIR NOT-YET-APPEARING-IN-THIS-CAMPAIGN, a local resident of Sandpoint who is currently recovering from a sudden and unexpected flu.
These are their adventures, as fate brings them together for a simple mission that soon leads to a far greater destiny.
