Private thread for my dice rolls.

Excited at the prospect of the games of chance before them and playing in such a fine establishment, Radek and Kara take the offered seats at the table. Pjiana remains standing for the moment as she wants to continue to observe. Avery also keeps an eye out on the games for the moment.

With two new players the other gentlemen smile a greeting and the dealer nods to everyone that they are ready. Two men put down a stack of wooden chips in front of Kara and Radek. The chips have a very small ruby embedded on one side and on the other a number stamped. The dealer explains that the numbers represent how many gold pieces each chip represents. The chips are stamped with either a 5 or 10. The friends have a stack of 15 chips stamped with a 10 and 20 stamped with a 5.

The other three players all appear to be locals and all are richly attired. They also all appear to be somewhere between their middle thirties to late forties in age. They appear more like businessmen than anything else. They are all friendly but are quiet for the moment. They introduce themselves as Theo, Deangelo, and Harrison.

The companions look on as the dealer expertly and quickly shuffles the cards and then deals out two cards to each of the players.

Theo, Deangelo, and Harrison toss a 5 gp chip into the center of the table. The dealer waits for Radek and Kara to toss in their ante as well.

Post your action and then go ahead and make a Knowledge roll behind a spoiler tag. We'll need to be honest and not look at each other's rolls. I'll keep up with the rolls for the other guys. Let's see how this goes!
Order for placing bets the first hand will be Radek, Kara, Pjiana, Theo, Deangelo, Harrison. Second hand would start with Kara and move down the line. Third hand would start with Pjiana and so on...

Creating the thread. Hopefully we'll start Monday.

Creating the thread. Hopefully Monday will bring first post.

Was curious if anyone has worked out some distances between cities/areas or if you had any thoughts on the matter.

Specifically, what would you say would be the distances between these points:

Restov to Kridorthrost in Iobaria.
Kridorthrost to Mirnbay in Iobaria.

Anyone know what the scale is for the Iobaria map that is in Varnhold Vanishing?

I appreciate anyone's thoughts/suggestions on this.

Home for all OOC discussion for this campaign.

Glad to have everyone!

Home of all OOC discussion for this Iobarian campaign.

This thread is for the players that were not originally selected for my Kingmaker AP but still wish to adventure in Brevoy.

This will be the second group to start in my overall Of Kings and Commoners campaign in the region of Brevoy. This campaign will focus in the area of Iobaria and will be open to the players who were not selected for the Kingmaker AP.

What is it about nobles and other ‘important’ people that makes them think they can always keep others waiting on them?

Six strangers sit in a large room within the expansive residence of the Lord Mayor of Restov, contemplating that very thought. Everyone gathered was invited to Restov to be part of an expedition to explore the Stolen Lands, a rough and lawless land to the south of Brevoy that insulates the nation from the River Kingdoms and Galt.
The large room that the group waits in is ornately decorated. It serves many purposes for the Lord Mayor. Occasionally it is cleared out and serves as a dance hall for the nobles of Restov, other times it is used as a receiving hall for visiting dignitaries, and at others it is used as it is today for meeting with large groups. The strangers sit in exquisitely crafted chairs with plus cushions sewn into the seats and high backs of the chairs. Etched into the top of each chair is the crest of the Free City of Restov. They sit around a very large and ornately carved table. Etched into the sides of the table are various scenes from the history of the Free City of Restov. Campaigns of war, famous duels, various past leaders among the Swordlords, and other events play out like a veritable history text in the side of the table. Decorative weapons bracket shields on the wall all around the room. The crest of each of the current Swordlord Council members are on display. A large fireplace in the northeast corner of the room keeps the room warm and cozy. Paintings, statues, and other works of art complete the décor.

Finally the door in the northern wall, opposite the one the strangers entered through, opens and two men enter. The first man is easily identified as Lord Mayor Ioseph Sellenius. Standing over six feet tall, Sellenius is still lean and fit even in his early 50’s. An accomplished swordsman on his own he moves with fluidity and grace to stand at the head of the table. The Lord Mayor has dark black hair and a pointed beard. There are streaks of grey in both beard and in his hair. High cheekbones and a strong nose are set under calculating eyes that can warm in an instant.

The man that enters with the Lord Mayor is none other than Ser Richard Iannuchi, the current Lord Commander of the Swordlord Council. Although he enters after the Lord Mayor, it is clear that Ser Richard takes second to no man. In his mid-50’s with a regal bearing and strong build, it is said that he is the second best swordsman among the Swordlords. His skill with a blade can only be matched by his abilities in leadership, politics, and tactical planning. He stands at the side of Sellenius and looks over the assembled guests. His face shows no emotion but it is clear that his eyes weigh each and every participant where they sit.

“My apologies for the wait,” begins Ioseph Sellenius, though there appears no such remorse in his voice. “We had to see of a trade delegation from Galt. They never know how long they’ll be in their position so they try and milk it for all they can.”
Ser Richard clears his throat at the Lord Mayor’s left but says nothing else. [b]“Yes, enough of that,” continues the Lord Mayor. “As you are all aware the King-Regent of Brevoy, Noleski Surtova recently signed a charter to explore the Stolen Lands. You six have been selected to be one of the groups that will head south into these lands to complete the King-Regent’s charter. You will also have the generous backing of the Swordlords of Restov. You are one of four teams that have been tasked with exploring a certain portion of the Stolen Lands. You will be heading to the Greenbelt. In addition to exploring, you are authorized and asked to get rid of any bandits that you encounter. We have had several disruptions of trade through the Greenbelt and bandits are rumored to be the cause.”

As he speaks, Ioseph Sellenius unrolls a parchment that contains the signed charter from King-Regent Surtova. A man enters from the door where adventurers entered and sets a quill and ink on the table. “Each of you that place your mark on this charter accept the terms and will be agents of the Crown. But before you do, you must know that the task before you is one of grave danger. The Stolen Lands are uncharted and uncivilized for a reason. In addition to bandits there are deadly beasts too numerous to name that must be overcome.”

The Lord Mayor of Restov pauses and looks at all assembled. “Do you have any questions?”

Welcome to the game! And here we go...

Here we will discuss anything outside of the game that is too long for short OOC comments in the game play thread.

Please use this to get to know one another as well as interacting together outside of our characters.

Any questions/comments/criticisms/suggestions about the game feel free to post here as well. Or PM me.

This recruitment will be for 4-6 players to tackle the Kingmaker AP, beginning in the year 4708 AR. The campaign will differ at times from printed material and much about Brevoy will be different so don't count on things being the same as the source material. Sometimes I will use names of people but their personalities/abilities/goals, etc. will be far different from what is printed in canon. So, don't count on that. For now, in terms of background, all printed locations are good.

Ok, I think that's it for now. I'll be taking apps through March 11th and then I'll make selections and we'll start the game soon thereafter.

Please review my Profile for other advice/information on what I expect and other info. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask here or message me.

Pardon the newbie question but how does one go about getting the stat block to display under their name/Alias? I have created a profile but it doesn't automatically display.

Any help on how to do this would be greatly appreciated, even if it is to direct me to another thread where this is explained.

Thank you very much!

Welcome to the new board. Here we will discuss any OOC items we can't handle in the gameplay thread or that we don't want to.

Very eager to get going again!

Check out this post for any help on using this board.

Here will continue the tale of a previously begun campaign through the Kingmaker AP.

Is there a way to run multiple threads in your Gameplay? How does one do this when a party splits up? I would think it would be really difficult/confusing if that has to be kept in one thread.

Trying to decide if I want to use this board for running an online campaign and looking to figure out the ease of use and any issues.

Thanks.

Not sure if this should be here or in the Rules section, so please feel free to move if needed.

I have a PC that was attacked by a Worg and has been gravely wounded. One of the other PC's came along and shot at arrow at the worg just as it dropped the first PC to -4 HP. The worg was then deeply wounded (from previous wounds and that arrow) and decided to run away into the night.

Second PC has decided not to stabilize the first PC but instead chase after the worg (it matches his character actually very well).

He is going to follow the worg through the night until he finds and kills it and then will go back to check on the other PC (who will probably be dead by then).

So, my question is how should I do that track and chase? The PC is a human slayer. He has already made his first survival check to find the trail but he is on foot and can't move at the speed of the worg.

Questions:
1. He will need to make a Survival check every hour to maintain the trail, yes?
2. How would you handle this situation? The worg is smart enough to keep on going and could know that it is being tracked.

Environment:
1. It is at night. Overcast.
2. The ground is considered very soft.
3. It is only a few hours after dark so there is almost the whole night ahead.

Suggestions are welcome. Thanks!

Ok, I am trying to put together something for an NPC in which they would be able to enter through a door and come out in a warehouse of their's several hundred miles away.

What magic would do that? Greater Teleport? How would I make it permanent? Any lesser magic that would achieve this goal?

I appreciate the help.

Greetings! I am looking at expanding my Kingmaker campaign to include more action in Brevoy and utilizing some of the political tension there as my PCs advance in levels.

I am currently looking at some of the background for that and was wondering if someone has already created a list of the Rogarvian kings back to Choral the Conqueror? A brief synopsis of each would be nice as well.

So, anyone see or have anything like that? Also, if this is in some source book that I'm just missing I would appreciate being directed to that.

Thanks!
