male Human, Varisian Inqusitor 1

Regretfully I am going to retire from this game. I have found the paizo forums to be too unwieldy especially in comparison to the Myth-weaver site I am used to. The reflects not on any of the other players of the GM but my personal preference and tolerance. Good luck to you all thanks for giving me a chance.

Kraz waits a few minutes before stepping up beside the priest, he recounts the tale of how he met the Professor. It took place at sunset in the city of Restov to the north east a good many leagues, he does not mention what he was doing there but at each mention of the Professors Kraz's normally stern emotionless face contorts into what can only be described as a smile, and warmth colors his cheeks.

"Well the story goes like this,"says Kraz settling in."I was returning from the city's central market as the sun dipped beyond the tall steep roofs of the city, the streets were mostly in shadow lit by the occasional hanging lamp and travelers were few. From beside me and out of an alley way came the most unusual procession, a gaggle of long haired wild eyed bearded northmen dressed down to their skivvies led by an equally wild eyed but very tall and skinny horned man also practically naked. The men were clearly drunk and seemed to be chasing a pink sow through the alleys of the city.

I avoided the unruly mob and continued on his way, the mob turned up the street in pursuit of the pig, moments later their was a loud crack and a frightful screech of a horse crying out in fear followed by curses as a wagon came careening down the street spilling wooden barrels and almost the cooper it belonged to.

Kraz pauses for a moment, clearly in memory "Then along came the professor" He smiles broadly. "I don't know about you all, but one of the things about the Professor I remember is his penchant for being at the wrong place at the wrong time, or maybe it was the right place at the right time in hindsight, he always seemed to be one step from danger, weather he knew it or not. Anyway, back to the story. so here comes the Professor, he has stepped out onto the street from a clothiers shop arms piled high with boxes into the path of the fleeing horse and wagon. I remember the look on his face, a mix of concern and at the same time amusement or maybe befuddlement. I did the only thing I could think of, I sprinted out in front of the horse and wagon and tackled the poor man. Knocking him out of the way of the horse and wagon but into a deep puddle and causing the contents of his packages to be scattered around the street."

A long pause as if trying to remember where he was in the story, before Kraz continues. "And that's how I met the Professor, he was grateful that I had intervened but concerned for the contents of the boxes, I helped him gather them up, they turned out to be childrens sized coats, that he had purchased for the street urchins. I had the pleasure of getting to know the Professor as I was roped into distributing the coats, and later as we traveled back to Ustalav together. He always struck me as a man that took the time to make every place he visited a better place. The world is worse off without him. Kraz pauses a last time and wipes a tear from his eye. "Thanks for letting me tell my story and be a part of this ceremony." Then he steps down and lets somebody else have a chance.

Kraz nods in approval and agreement at Deriven's response. "Let's get this line moving again before these ignorant curs develop the semblance of a spine."

"That man Gibs he has the feel of evil about him, I expect more trouble from him."Kraz's gravely voice is cold and loud enough for the council men to hear faintly, though he speaks mostly for the other pallbearers.

Where did the talk of the Professor being a Necromancer come from? DM never mentioned it, or did I miss it?

This is the first mention of Necromancer...and it was from a player what gives? Is somebody reading ahead lol?

As for what is left of him, it is Her will that the dead be set upon rightly, and buried as is proscribed. Do you intend to gainsay Her?

Understood, what the heck I will attempt to not give myself away completely.

bluff check 1d20 ⇒ 7

Kraz is not bluffing he is giving the man a stern gaze attempting to ascertain if he is a threat a madman or both.

I assume this is like the Paladin's ability where I only have to concentrate to activate it, not go through somatic or verbal components to cast a spell. correct me if I am wrong, new to the Inquisitor class.

With a stern look on his face Kraz attempt to detect evil on the gathering crowd, failing that he will attempt to detect good.

I will leave the diplomacy to cooler heads, if it comes to dealing with the wrong-minded masses kraz always leads with intimidate.

Kraz is taken aback by the rudeness of the confronting villagers. "What's the meaning of this?...Who are you to decide whom gets to be buried where? Kraz holds back on a few choicer words, for the moment. Thinking about Deriven's comment, he says to himself, wait for the sheriff, nah take care of it ourselves.

Can you add images and maps? I thought that was one of the many advantage Myth-Weavers had on the paizo boards. If these boards do not let you, you could probably upload them to a free hosting site such as imageshack and post the links, or use google docs.

Kraz steps up to the ornate coffin, taking his position in silence. He is strangely uncomfortable, for a man of faith, at funerals. And what odd circumstances he thinks to himself, while I did know the professor and indeed call him a friend, I would never have expected to be written into his will. I wonder what his daughter thinks of all this.

Kraz spent the last of his gold and the bit of time before the ceremony searching Ravengro's small merchant quarter for clothing that would befit a funeral. He arrives dressed in woolen black pants and matching coat with a white linen shirt beneath, his head is adorned with a black tricorn. Strapped to his waist on a thick leather belt is a simple pair of scabbards one for a longsword and one for a dagger.

He arrives just as the first round of introductions are being made. "Good morning, I am Kraz Ryabstev." He shakes hands with each in turn before turning to address the woman, removing his hat he bows slightly, his long black hair wet still and held back by a simple leather thong. "Your father was a wonderful man full of wit and charm, he will be sorely missed. If their is anyway that I can be of assistance during your time of grief please do not hesitate for a moment."

Just to confirm the Game thread is in the gameplay tab?

Red 5 Standing by.


Groups look good to me, I will go ahead and purchase gear and equipment. 7 players per group should also help keep the game dieing before it gets started from player attrition.


Fixed, Background coming tonight.

TLDR: Born in Korvosa moved with father to lastwall when he was ten. Grew up in that martial society, father was priest of Iomadae was killed fighting minions of the whispering tyrant. Kraz continued in his fathers footsteps but as an inquisitor. Less interested in fighting orcs and more interested in purging the world of undead he moved on to Ustalav where he had an encounter with the late professor that turned into a friendship.


Please consider the Inquistor Kraz Ryabstev of Pharasma. Character is in construction as we speak, will add background and more details as they unfold.

Thanks for your time.

Edit: Skills/Feats/Traits added working on background now. What are upbringing feats? I have and use Hero lab and I saw an option to include them but I don't see anywhere to choose them.
