I've been stuck in the bed the past several days super ill. Just now starting to get better, but I'm still really wiped out. I'll try to post sometime later today (the twentieth).

Olivia freezes, her hand going for her blade as she stares at the back of the spider and the source of the sound. She glances to Elmae. "If they're inside of the spider there was a chance they might have been surprised to see us," she tries to keep her voice low and positions herself for whatever's to come.
Still here. And yeah the RP is what draws me in to, but the battle stuff doesn't have to be too cinematic
Usually it's good to PM the person and then wait about a week, then again I have been in games where the posting dies down for a month and picks right back up.
Hopefully everything is well. I've been ill too, hopefully we get back on track.
She moves to the front of the line glancing back at the others. "Right, maybe it will be safer in the front." She flashes a smile at the others. "I only hope that the path doesn't split--I don't think there's any map for this place."
Olivia is quiet for a long time as she mulls over the visions of the dragon battling the fiend in the skies over the city. For these moments the smile is absent from her purple face. "Sorry," she says suddenly. "My name is Olivia, just Olivia." There's a brief pause. "Salomae is right. We should...get moving."
I really can't think of which one would benefit me the most. I'll have to look over things again.
"Perhaps, Horgus Gwerm, you should break your leg. Then we'll be forced to care for your wounds faster." Olivia shrugs. "If you haven't noticed we've fallen into some kind of pit and there's bodies being used as mortar under a pile of rubble. No one is concerned with your money at the moment," she says. She turns away from him to examine the sparkly things in the rubble.
Olivia stands with her arms folded near the wealthy man. "I know, in theory, how broken legs and splints work. I'm willing to give it a try." She takes some of the arrows from her quiver and snaps the heads off of them, though she keeps these heads. Then she cuts at the hem of her cloak to get some string. "Stick out your other leg so I can make sure they match before I tie them up," Olivia smiles. "I've never done one of these before and I can only imagine this is going to hurt something fierce, so bite down on the hilt of this dagger and try not to look at what I'm doing," Olivia says giving her one of the small daggers from her belt.
She groups as many arrows as she can fit around the leg and secures them in place with the parts of her cloak.
Olivia goes to the middle aged human, looks him over and smiles faintly. "I suspect that the others were worried about those two because of the blood and broken limbs, but are you hurt sir?" she asks.
Everything is ringing and Olivia's whole body feels like a sword that's singing after a collision with another blade. Her vision slowly returns and she picks herself up to survey the area. Ruined buildings and bodies behind her and in front of her darkness. "It looks like some kind of cave in...and on Armasse. That can't be a good omen," she says answering Salomae. "It looks like there's five of us," she tells Tchirash.
Olivia had spent the what seemed like an age living within the walls of the temple. This was the first Armasse in which she would be able to actively participate with in years. It was odd to have undergone a calling and left her old life behind and still be excited about ordinary things. Childish things, perhaps. Olivia wades through the crowd, the people breaking around her like water redirected off of rocks as it travels down a stream. Tieflings aren't looked at with the open hatred they once received, not the fault of the child that they were born part fiend, but many still regarded her with some caution. It seemed as though people walked around when they caught a hint of her yellow eyes or reddish skin. Her cloak concealed her enough that they had to look right at her to make notice, though she was not wearing it to hide. She just hadn't been outside in five years and there hadn't been much occasion for her to wear a cloak in that time. Olivia steps into what seems to be a lucky spot Clydwell Plaza, ready to begin her first steps lifting other neglected half-mortals like herself out of the gutters.
Just making sure that I get in on the ground floor so that I don't miss anything. Going to go ahead and make sure to get this Alias updated with stats across the top and all of that. Do you have any preference on that stuff Spooky?
Oh awesome. Very excited about this one! I just got done being sick to find this out, double good news.
The other one (which I have also applied for, twice) is actually a Gestalt game. I really want to play in the Adventure Path, but it's hard to convert Gestalt characters back into regular ones and keep their same flavor. I suspect that a lot of that is what drew people to the game.
Olivia could be Champion too, but there's one person in that one and we need the other two filled out. Really this is why I don't like this system with the campaign traits. They're more specific than previously and they tie directly into the game to the point that it calls for players to coordinate.
Oh I rolled mine and still got the one I wanted. Awesome.
If I understood correctly you only have to roll for the ability score variants and that's a d10 dice roll.
Ignore the crunch on the sheet, I applied with this character to another Wrath of the Righteous campaign. This is Cardboard Tube Knight I decided to give her a go here too. Here sheet is here and she's a Paladin/Fighter going for the Marshal Mythic Path. She's taken Child of the Crusade. Here's her background and appearance and all that fun stuff: Spoiler: Backstory: Her parents had wished for a little boy named Oliver. What they received instead was Olivia. Her father perished in the struggle against the fiendish nation that borders their city and neither of her parents would tell her the tale of how she came to be conceived or how her mother lost her legs and sight. Their family comes from a long line of Crusaders and there was a tradition that when a fiendish bastard be born that it take a surname such as "Wormwood" or "Abbadon" to signal to others the taint in their blood. Olivia didn't need that. With her purplish skin, tail and hooked horns there was never any question about where she had come from. Still her parents treated her like their own and after her father died behind enemy lines and her mother passed from old age, she took it upon herself to take on the name Wormwood as a badge of honor. She would redeem herself and see a great stride made against the nation that stole her mother's eyes and father's life. Her parents were both worshipers of Sarenrae and she strongly believed that there was redemption to be sought for her own fiendish blood and the horrors done in the name of the Crusade. She spent time in the temple of her Goddess praying and meditating on peace, forgiveness and steeling herself against the dangers she might face. She hardened her body with training and avoided strong drink and unhealthy foods. And when she felt the time had come and the Goddess was calling to her, she let the temple to await the coming Crusade. Appearance and Personality: Olivia stands five foot six and is of a slender but muscular build. She has curly red hair, light purple skin and dark ram-like horns rises from either side of the top of her head. Despite the horns and tail and skin color the rest of her looks rather human in appearance. And despite her fiendish blood she's always smiling. Always ready to be there for others and lift them up to greatness. Role in Campaign: Olivia is going for the Marshal Mythic Path. She's a ranged fighter and she's got some healing ability because, Paladin.
Awesome, the Olivia will keep her toughness for now. I'm not sure if that fits the flavor of what she's supposed to be. I might go for "Weapon Focus" or "Point Blank Shot" to kind of fill out the ranged options for her. While her crunch isn't finished, here's her back story and the like. ======== Backstory: Her parents had wished for a little boy named Oliver. What they received instead was Olivia.

This is Cardboard Tube Knight's Paladin reporting for duty. Still have equipment and a few other things to get figured out, but the back story and the basic idea is there. Tiefling Paladin of Sarenrae with the Divine Hunter archetype. |
