Thank you for the opportunity however I'm gonna drop.

"I can understand. Pitax doesn't very seem like the nicest of Governments when it comes to these lands, and I had to go through Cheliax to get to Absalom during some of my training as clergy," Maria says, "I can understand such, the Shelyn from what I have been taught, preaches we must find out inner beauty, regardless of our current form. I guess one could say that you bring them some form to accommodate that. Sadly, I am fine with my body, but thank you for the offer."
Maria takes the unusual approach, splitting from the group and heading towards the tree with Emerald, "I'll catch you all later, I think we should be all fine if anything" she says, taking the strange choice to leave the party. There with Emerald: "So a mine somewhere, sounds like a problem," she says, looking around the orphanage with a smile.
My paper got accepted!!!
Sorry, sorry, Captsones and a Phi Alpha Conference coming up.
Maria continues her sermon for all those can hear it, deciding to take her glaive and join her sudden compatriots. If there was to be battle, she would head in face first into danger.
"Sheyln, protect those that dwell here, guard us in our times of struggle," Maria begins to call out, bringing forth her Glaive from her side, like a staff it had served before it was needed to defend herself from yet another barbarous event. She did not stay with Edoom for this, instead with Morag and Linnes, not one to join rushing into combat. She was a speaker at heart, using her divine ability to rally those around her.
"I guess I'll follow you all, if it's best that I help you all," she says still unsure of what she exactly was doing. It was somewhat annoying, cast around to whomever needed it. There was a word for it, but she at least didn't mind the company doing it all that much.
"I hate to be the bearer of such news but I'm rather unsure," she says standing by Edoom before giving a glance towards him and the rest of the group, "We've been rather bargained with coin against our own partial will and now we are to be stuck here?" She takes a gulp, "I hope I have enough prepared for sermons."
"You won't get a complaint from me," Maria says with a bit of a dumb smile to the guards at the gate. It felt like things were moving quickly, even if she had been gone roughly for almost two weeks. Two weeks of travel on the road with strangers for a reason she really didn't understand other than money.
She frowns, "Local deity, minor in comparison to larger faiths but still present. Followers are rather diverse, but I wouldn't trust them for a lone walk. Most folk just offer a small tribute and not much more," Maria says with a shrug. "If anything just common bandits, just more into their faith than others."
Maria ends her litany reciting and takes a breath, a little exhausted after belching out for a bit. She'd move towards Edoom's side, looking down towards the bandits with a little bit of a grimace, "I can't heal the injured and the Paladin... I'm not sure if I can do little to anything at all," she says to the group, not sure if smothering dirt on someone was a good way get information from people. It seemed more childish if anything else.
Maria continues her chanting and sermonic harmony, reciting scripture from memory and adding her own flair when it came to it. She hadn't gotten into a real fight, just spars on the occasion with the local church to keep herself practiced, so this thrill of battle excited her to some extent while also terrifying her. She'd fall back on her faith, keeping with it as she chanted away.
"Blessed Sheyln, give us this day to overcome our conflicts..." Maria continues into an impressive array of litany, calling out a sermon to inspire her compatriots even if they didn't subscribe to her faith.
Maria looked slowly down to her reigns before realizing what she was doing and correcting herself, smiling towards him. Her newness to riding was likely rather obvious, but she was sure to make up for the fact in enthusiastic learning and doing. After all, what would a good devotee of Sheyln do in a time like this. As she viewed the natural landscape, she still did wonder why she was chosen of all people. Having traveled for some time now with these people, it was a strange thing to go about the land on such a journey with complete and utter strangers.
She had gotten off her horse, moving over to inspect the idol, "Hanspur, a local deity," Maria says just before finding herself in the heat of a skirmish, "Trouble!"
So how do I put a token on?
Maria invests some of the downpayment on getting a horse and saddle for travel. She had never really ridden long distance before, so a good, trained horse being top priority. His name was Jervis and she smiled a top him as she rode him out of the stables after his purchase. Coincidentally, she ended up riding right alongside Edoom, raising a brow. "I'm not sure I should tell my story to someone I just met so casually unless you'd like to be evangelized or something of the matter," she says with an attempt at a smile, not sure what he was going for, but kept the happy and easy-going attitude she "And while we might share pointy ears and all, I don't know you from Shelyn, got a name?"
Maria will take her earning advance and purchase a light combat trained horse, including saddlebags and the saddle of course. As well, they will purchase two CLW potions at Lvl 1.
Was for the most part confused. Usually when they needed a priest, it was for post mortem affairs or someone wanting some sort of religious event with her, but this was going out into the wilderness, ready to fight off banditry, something she supposed could be benificial, but why her. "I'm a bit confused ser, but, why am I chosen with these folk. I guess could do healin' but I'm not the most expert of such magics."
Maria had no real knowledge of the town nor the area, a simple Rostlander swept to a foreign land that she wasn't accustomed to from her small home. Even the simpler information that she could gather wasn't really enough for her to figure things out for whom their supposed client was, she barely knew whom she was working with for this job that she was pushed upon to help with, though 1000 gold coin was well worth the reward to help others... even if it felt like refusing wasn't an answer she could have. "Certainly well... I could be of service," she says, clapping to the song before stopping somewhat awkwardly.
I don't really care which version you use, not to sound uncaring. I'm surprised that there is even still debate over the topic. It's near a decade plus old now, considering Jacob's long spoke that it was an error by a freelance.
Maria is a priestess of Shelyn, brought into the faith by her parents at a young age once she began to pursue a career in art. Her great skill in art compliment her faith as she worked tirelessly to beautify her local area in the form of art projects such as murals and others. Her trip to the savage lands would be seen as a way to tame it and bring the word of Sheyln to the land in a typical evangelist style fashion. Maria herself is a fair-haired half elven woman, taller than average for her kind, and youthful demeanor. Her clothing is colorful and bold, adorned with the symbols of her faith. Pic Pending
Maria wasn't rather sure what she must have down to be called out by the guard. Could it have been maybe her rousing orations had enthused some lordling of heavenly aspirations. As a priestess of Shelyn, the young half elf had dedicated most of her adult life at this point to worship and veneration of the arts and beauty, wondering just what she must have done. However, seeing as how others were called now began to sour the thought, maybe a lordling was fraught with such a street sermon that he had complained to the guard. "O' me... ummm, why what is the matter sergeant," she asks somewhat worriedly in a typical Rostlander accent.
All have some finishing touches on backstory and all that. Probs get an image. Posting tonight.
Hello, guess we are here. The runt group.
I've added the short background I had to the profile and lightly added to it.
Finished the character stat wise if there is still room. Maria is an Evangelical Cleric of Shelyn, hoping to get a charter so that she can continue her preaching to a wider audience and bring about a community of artists dedicated to her goddess. She believes she'd be valuable as a cartographer and map maker.
I would love to do a 2e campaign of it. https://paizo.com/campaigns/v5748p75ivm04 is to a game that was cancelled. https://paizo.com/campaigns/v5748p75ivmdc is to a game that is still ongoing and we are at lvl 4. Even lost our gm but at one point but still now going strong.
Good luck
All that's left is some updates to the familiar but it's exactly exactly same, just increases to Int for little Jervis. As well, AC and smaller stats to put up.
Finished backstory, description, and personality. Just got the familiar left.
Hello, this is FreeRadical's character Maria. She is still a work in progress and has remnants of the previous campaign that just died. The concept is that Maria Kellston, real name Mary Anne Kerrelian, is an exiled scholar, wanted for a crime that she may have committed upon accident. She has hidden out in the Stolen Lands with most of what she could carry, posing as a professor believe it or not, just from a different school in Absalom (she graduated herself from Magambaya). Her equipment is a random assortment of supplies that is essentially whatever I could spend that would make sense for a professor. I'll work more on it later.
Thanks for your time and the opportunity. Take care.
"Alright, we can pay the debt off that way. See what the troubles are and hopefully get to the bottom of it. No doubt that if this issue continues the supply of this wood will dwindle. A dispute with miners will have to be resolves," she responds before getting up from her seat and relaxing her shoulders. She was tired and it was about time that she got to sleep in an actual bed. "Tomorow, it should be easy enough to convince them on my behalf," she yawns, "I am to retire master. I thank you for this chance to repay you. Maybe my star will shine?"
Hope you get better soon. Think we are just waiting on the gm now
Maria nods. She understood why her master was like this and would nod to her before she was interrupted by a knocking on the door. The apprentice would wait patiently for her master to return from knocking on the door, "Is that so then. Very well, I'll take whatever assignment you have for me. Surely, they'll take whatever you require us to do for you ma'am at lunch tomorrow." "What would you have us do?"
Maria looked away, taking a deep breath for a moment before returning to face towards her. Hands one her lap, she could feel Jervis squirming under her robe before she began to respond, "It was a dangerous situation that required the use of those items. That boy would have likely died if not for that wand, the same for his idiot older sibling. Then there was the damned Wyvern, a black scaled one that spewed acid." "We can go to the families later. Likely the Macintyre's will have coin now. Brewers as well likely gladly pay for your service as well no doubt, along with the sheriff's deputy Papus and Burria if they have any acid burns still. I have my total as well if you wish to take it," Maria says, a hint of defeat in her voice as she let Jerivs out to fly free around the tower.
"I have to requisition some supplies from our stores, it saved lives," she walked over, adjusting the fire staff near the wands so that in her own mind it wouldn't fall over in the future. The young wizard would sit down soon after, sitting in the chair offered to her. "It indeed was interesting, I'm not sure how well that boy will recover. He is obviously traumatized. To think his brother went from threatening to kill me with his damned scythe to begging to save his brother," she sighs, relaxing back and taking off her hat, "All to find some crazed druid."
Maria eyed the stranger as he rode into town, feeling there was something oddly familiar about him, a face that she hadn't seen in some time before. As Gunnar walked away her face turned back to him and the rest of their small ensemble, "Good luck Gunnar, hopefully it will help pay for any issue your father has. His recovery hopefully is quick." Instead, she takes the opposite direction, "My mistress must be waiting for me, no doubt they have returned. I'll take whatever you wish to give. I just need enough for necessities and travel."
Now might be good
"At least we have the other druid locked up at the least," Maria looked up with a smirk, her familiar Jervis looking at Bonita as well, now flying away in the form of a hawk, flying away high in the sky, "To think that she could have done that at any time as too. Huh..."
"I don't believe anyone has. For all we know Tomos you are in the clear. The real issue of course being your sister. Her helping us has put her far too much in the limelight..." Maria spoke before looking towards Gunnar and Euda, teeth gently biting at her lower lip. She didn't seem at all to like how this was going for them, "So this is how the church of Abadar pays back the faithful for good deeds. What's the plan now?"
Maria came down back into town with Fezzen, taking a deep breath as she got back into the persona of the black sheep of this miserable town. At least she wouldn't stay there long, and at least in her mind good company as well. The half elf would exhale, speaking up as she spotted Tomos, "I would hold the thought before you head towards the border and out of Taldor."
Mhmm, definitely looking for a hero type. Most of our PCs are fairly young, close to around their early 20s to just barely over.
I share such sentiment. You've been a good gm, I trust you judgment.
Yep, that's looks to be it
WE got that recruitment thread up?
Sure, go ahead. It'd be good to have one running up if for now you all want to just rp in thread.
All good Gunnar, stuff like that would make someone rather busy. Hope everything was alright, and good luck this season.
