Love to play a gnome summoner. The world should be saved by a gnome, that halfling thing is way out of hand. One ring indeed.
I'd be interested in playing as well.
Here is my submission for Zanneriros Darkeyes, half elf summoner. He has a crush on Shalelu.
Back Story:
Zanneiros Darkeyes Zanneiros is the off spring of two other half elves. His mother and father both favor the human side of their heritage in appearance and fit in well enough in the local society. However, the elven blood does run through their veins and they are both conjuring sorcerers. His parents met at the Twilight Academy but soon left do to the uptight and structured nature of instruction. The family has found work protecting caravans and traveling across the local area. Their travels have brought them to “settle” in Sandpoint. Zannerios’ father took him most places he would go for business. One such place was the Rusty Dragon. It was here that his father would conduct business, they would sit an enjoy the entertainment of Ameiko Kaijitsu, and he first caught a glimpse of Shalelu Andosana, the exotic half elf ranger and was smitten. Zanne would make sure he accompanied his father any time he was going to the Rusty Dragon after that, just on the off chance that he would run into her. Zanne also took to spending a lot of time exploring the wilderness nearby to Sandpoint. Once or twice he was able to see Shalelu, although it was most likely only because she wanted him too, and that kept him coming back. Zannerios also had a knack for conjuration, however, because of his infatuation with Shalelu, he would practice on animals leading him to take on the role of a summoner. He would practice summoning creatures and creating an Eidolon that reflected a perfected creature. He hoped beyond hope that Shalelu would take an interest in him and his creations. Projected Path:
Plan is to make Zannerios into and Arcane Archer. He will alternate between summoner levels and fighter level (archer archetype) with a max fighter level of 3. Then will alternate between summoner and Arcane Archer. This combines his bloodline conjuration with his idolization of the Ranger Shalelu. He will use fighter levels to gain feats dealing with fighting with a bow. First increase of stats will be Dex followed by Strength, then con and finally Cha.
I have created a character sheet and will have it posted tonight.
Dotting for interest.
Just email me at fnessler@aol.com Thanks
Well, disapointed I didn't make the cut, but keep me in mind if you need a replacement later on.
Adding last location Glitter and Gold Money Exchanger Nestled in a small corner of Rego Pena is a small, one story, and stone building. A gem-encrusted ring surrounded with coins from the various regions is pictured on a well-worn wooden sign outside of the establishment. The windows are barred with heavy iron shutters, and the doors are made of heavy wood, reinforced with iron bands. In this bustling trading city there are several money exchanges that make a living from the travelers passing through exchanging coin or turning gems into useable currency. While not advertised, it is known that this shop also will accept other trinkets and not ask many questions on their origin. Members of once noble houses now fallen with little influence can be seen coming here as well as some of the more shady characters, both bringing in “family” items. There is rumored that the Council of Thieves influence many of these establishments; how much they are involved with the Glitter and Gold is not known.
Thanks for the hint on posting the stats. I have updated Mina and Carethin. The House of Thorns is complete as well. I will now do last NPC. Gregord JeFeld
Please let me know if you have any tweaking you would like to see.
House of Thorns
Off of one of the main streets in Rego Pena, but near the center of commerce, the House of Thorns sits beckoning passersby to come into its foyer. The two story building has the look and feel of an old noble’s manor and may have in fact belonged to one before the fall. The building is made of fine cut stone and decorated with vines covered in thorns thus giving the building its name. The up keep is slightly better than that of the surrounding buildings but there is no mistaking that it is a shadow of its former splendor. The outside walls are showing signs of wear and the once sand colored stones are dingy with soot that is practically impossible to clean. The steps leading up to the main double doors are well worn and polished from the soles of male boots that parade up and down the stairs daily. Upon entrance through the double doors, the house resembled less of noble’s house and much more like a large dance hall or performance house, music can be heard hear almost all times of the day and night. Directly to the left with windows facing the street are the administrative offices. It is through here that arrangements for the courtesans are made. The much of the ground floor is taken up by a large dance floor, made from highly polished ancient wood; musicians located on a platform play while the latest dances are learned. A well-stocked and maintained kitchen is located in the back where the students are taught culinary arts. Near the kitchen behind the dance floor is located a dining area, fully outfitted with fine china and glassware where the intricacies of fine dining are detailed. Along the right wall as you enter is a stairway leading up to the eight “guest rooms” located at the House of Thorns several of which are permanent residences for new personnel. While most stay close to their benefactors, those who had yet to be contracted or were between contracts are welcome to stay here. The rooms are clean, airy, and have the sweet smell of flowers. Beds are down filled with clean linens, everything having a feel of luxury. Located in the basement were areas where special client needs could be met. Many favoring the House of Thrune and those forces associated with them, keep this an avenue of profit for the House of Thorns
Here are my thoughts for "The Rose" Spoiler:
Carethin Mitranza
Human Male Rouge -5/Assassin -1 The Rose is the moniker of the proprietor of the high end escort service, The House of Thorns, located in Rego Sacero. His public persona is that of a somewhat attractive female, just out of her prime (age indeterminate) for performing escort services. Back story would lead you to believe that “The Rose” was a former worker with good business sense that was handpicked to take over for the last Rose when she retired (expired). Each “Rose” will have a tattoo of a rose on their chest. Dresses revealing cleavage will sometimes expose parts of the flower, stem, leaves, or thorns. In reality “The Rose” is a male from a small minor noble family of Mitranza. Once a family with influence in the town they are now beholden to the House of Rosala. Carethin uses this position to make money and support his family and increase their influence in Westcrown society. While it may seem that he/she is making money off of selling flesh, the real coin of commerce is information. Since the escorts of this establishment are highly sought after and prized in the upper echelons of the Westcrown hierarchy, they are in a prime location, social events or private quarters, to learn tidbits of information. Carethin uses this information both for personal gain as Carethin Mitranza, or as bargaining tool as “The Rose”. Carethin is a master of disguise and deception. He plays up his weak and frail appearance as a male and uses it as an asset when disguised as a female. His knowledge of the Nobles enables him to make connections other would not be able to see. He was able to take over from his aunt a few years ago when she was no longer able to manage the business due to an untimely death. Carethin is still a few years shy of making it to Master Spy status, (needs at least one more level). The multiple layers of bureaucracy and the failure of “The Rose” to make many public appearances, not only increases her mystery but helps him keep up his illusion. Under his aunt’s tutelage he learned a bit about poison which also helps when trying to insure secrets are kept. While she may sell information to agents he suspects may be from the Council of Thieves, he is very careful to keep a low profile and not attract too much attention from them. Like most establishments protection monies and bribes are part of the business. He always pays them on time. It is a very stressful line (he/she) must tread.
I don't know how to make this for DM eyes only. I can stat this one out if you would like. I'll work on the description of the establishment "House of Thorns" next and follow up with the other NPC.
I am also new to PbP and to the message boards here on Paizo. However, the Pathfinder Society games are only monthly here in Tucson and I would like to have a more consitant and varied gaming experience. This is my idea for a Gnome Summoner. I have indicated the region of Westcrown I would like to examine and the two NPCs I would like to introduce. Please let me know what you think. Mina Seewicket Mina was born in Umok to a small gnomish family, in number if not in stature, and thought the obsession of the town over goblins from the Chitterwood was much to do about nothing. Most of her childhood was spent frolicking with the domesticated wildlife. She found she was able to call to them and they would appear, a magic that many of the town possessed but came even more easily to her. It was not long before Mina needed more from life than this simple town could give her. She was concerned with the bleaching and set out to find something that would capture her imagination and excitement. So at the young age of 40 she headed down the river Isled to land in Senara. As a gnome she was definitely out of place in this devil infested Chelish town. It was here that she first encountered tieflings and Hellknights, Order of the Pike, which have a small citadel here. It was here from the devilish population that she learned of other creatures from other planes. She also discovered that her presence was “acceptable” if she could find a way to entertain the various town folk. With her personality and good looks, she found she could manipulate their moods, ingratiate their favors, and if things went well, could become a companion of one of the inhabitants. Even as a gnome she became a prize of the most influential, be that man, woman or other. Through her study of seduction, manipulation and pleasure to move herself to better positions, Mina found her obsession. She met several others in her profession and, through a tiefling, was introduced to Calistria whom she took as her patron. The goddess of trickery, lust, and revenge seemed a very good fit. It took a couple years and during this time she was able to make a few tiefling friends. The town of just more than 5000 started to make Mina feel a little closed in and she was able to accompany one of the Hellknights back to Westcrown via boat. Her reputation preceded her and it was not long until she was sought out by “The Rose” (NPC). “The Rose” runs a high end escort and entertainment service in the Rego Pena. (Red-light district will be the area in Wetcrown to be “fleshed out”) Her stable is often sought out by the once noble houses, especially when they do not want to be tied to other houses. Her escorts are all well known for their presence, exotic beauty, charm, and ability to please even the most discerning tastes. It was through these contacts that she met Gregord JeFeld (NPC), an aspiring Abyssal Sorcerer. His knowledge of the planes and of summoning intrigued her. Apparently there was more to summoning than just small woodland creatures. Now at age 44 she has decided to explore her summoner path using her connections and skills she has learned to gain her access when she may need it. She has found a home and feels an allegiance to The Rose stables and Rose herself. Her tutelage helps her refine her people skills, and the unique experiences she can create are currently keeping away the Bleaching. Mina is always concerned with the influence that the rumored Council of Thieves might have on her life and livelihood.
First of all I had a great time at my second Piazo Con. I would alos like to say the orginization of the Pathfinder Society games was even better this year. All of my character events have already been entered on the site. It took several weeks last year. Congrats on a very entertaining and well run convention. F Scott
If anyone happens to have one stillout there, I could use one ticket.
