Some of the other conscripts turn their heads and look around, but the finally one steps forward. It was the same traveler most of you met in the inn earlier. "It was I." Yalleus begins to to scold him about being more careful when training on fellow soldiers. Zamiel

![]() The military commander looks at those who immediately stepped forward. "Glad some of you have some backbone. I am commander Yallus, if you are here to sign up, please see the attendants over there. Once they are done writing your name and familiarity of combat down, they will assign you into a regiment with their own leader." he points off to a small table set up with three people sitting with pen and quill ready. He then directs his attention to Zamiel. "This announcement was made here first, because this city is now the front line. The mines have fallen." he gestures towards the direction of the mountains, small wisps of smoke can be seen rising into the sky. "I cannot tell you if that's the signal fire or the buildings burning as we speak. We have sent a runner to the capital of the Dwarves, Elves, and the grand port city of Sanlow. This city is in no sort of condition to fend off the full force of the invasion, so instead of waiting, we are going to them." A man in the crowd speaks up, "What if we fail? We'll die!", in which Commander Yallus responds, "We'll all die if we don't stop them. It's better to die in battle protecting those you cherish, than to die like a coward, knowing you could have fought for your honor" At this point the cloaked traveler speaks "If the Silverfang could not stop them, then what makes us any more suited for this? From how I'm seeing it, we're going to be used as cannon fodder." Commander Yallus snaps to him, his general expression of confidence and indifference shifting towards anger. He steps down from the stage and walks up to the man. "Boy, those words reek of insubordination. You will jump when I tell you to, you will fight the goblins by yourself, if I tell you to, you will give your life from this empire... When I tell you to. There is no more room for free thought, you are now soldiers, and soldiers obey. The rest of you go sign up, you're coming with me" he begins walking away, one of the guards start escorting the cloaked traveler behind Yallus. The other guards start moving the crowd towards the tables. ![]()
![]() Grumbaki There are many in the crowd who aren't panicking mind you, but a lot of the women and children are. A few men stand their ground with you. As you push your way through the crowd, you actually see a ring of people forming around the announcement stage. It looks like there are others who are eager and ready for this. You notice the same cloaked traveler first in line. ![]()
![]() The crowd begins to become noisy as more gather and they start chatting to one another. Before any real conversation can happen you hear, "May I please have your attention, this is most dire." you not only hear this but you feel it too. ooc:
No check needed to know it's magic. For anyone who has a spellcraft/knowledge arcana of 5 or higher, you know it's the mind sphere with project thoughts. *RULES* So some of you will immediately spot that he cannot plant that many messages in that many peoples minds, even with group charm and some third party meta magic, he'd only get somewhere around 15 people. The way around this, is he's having a mage implant the messages in a bunch of other mages, who are all pushing it out into chunks of the crowd. The crowd becomes silent almost instantly and the Silverfang ambassador steps forward. "For many days the news of the fall of the Silverfang empire, one hold at a time have been circulating around. Unfortunately... These are true. We are facing forces we have not seen before. True animosity and force unrivaled by stories of yore. They are.. Now this does not mean we will lose, we are just in a state of emergency. I will now let the captain of the Silverfang military speak now." He steps back with a very worried expression as he watches the man in the full plate walk forward. He has a rough, gritty voice, it carries far and is very harsh. "I am not a man for words. We have declared martial law, and are enacting a draft. ALL capable men will report to the guard barracks by sundown today, or be branded a traitor and sentenced to death. Those who are just passing by in this town are subject to the draft as well. All persons of nobility or importance will also report for the draft for financial asset seizure as necessary. You will be paid for your time, and assets. We have 135,000 gold to divvy up, the more you contribute the more compensation you shall receive. All military resources are under direct control of me and my vassals." He holds out a large scroll. "This scroll contains the names of all inhabitants, do not think you can run without consequences." While this is being said, you can see the grim expressions on the town officials, especially the ambassador, who looks as if he's going to faint from the lack of empathy. The crowd panic consumes the immediate area.

![]() The crowd is gathering and luckily you both(Grum and Jerard), to be near the front with a good view. As you are waiting, you see the captain of the town watch(if you lived/frequent visitor), the captain of the guard, the Silverfang ambassador, and a man in very ornate full plate. The town watch captain has a very stressed and uneasy expression on his face. Anyone who is there and arrives there, make a DC 13 perception check to notice a regiment of the town guard gearing up by the barracks ![]()

"It wa-as a d-doll my mo-other made." He points off down the main roadway, trying to tell you where the dog went, but his words fail him now. make a DC 16 survival check to track the dog ![]()

Two seem to be farmers, one a blacksmith. They seem to be friends as they are talking to each other when they enter. As it seems to get busier, the bar maiden comes out and starts fully wash down all the tables in chairs, preparing for the incoming night time. Nadia:

![]() Hey guys, if my posts become a bit sporadic, it's because I'm sick. I still will check up on this campaign as the first thing I do when I turn on my computer. Grumbaki:
Do you head to a tavern for food?
The guard nods and excuses himself as he needs to begin his next patrol. Your day goes about as you'd expect it to, with the occasional person trying to move a cart with waaay too much stuff in it for their size. Zanton:
"Aye, that'd be them. The faithful are the elite guard, only called out in dire times. People think they be the best, I think all the time sittin' around made them rusty. War will be here soon, mark me words.
For me? I'm only passing through. I'd figured it'd be more wise of me to get food then expend me travellin rations. I've got a long way to go. Same could be asked of you. It's hardly even high sun and ye already nose deep in the ale. That's non o me business though." He says that as he finishes the last of his food. Zamiel: "Well for starters, there's going to be a large announcement tomorrow that supposedly is coming from the throne of the empire itself! If that is true, then something is amiss. Other than that, the town's grown pretty tense with this whole invasion scenario happening north of us. We aren't the hardest town to get into. If cities with ten foot stone walls are being razed to the ground, what's to stop them from trampling us like a bug under foot? Some people have even taken the liberty to move out and go into reclusive hiding in the polar regions to the south, or go seek asylum with the elves in their trees. He says all of this while stroking his very short beard. ![]()
![]() Zanton:
"You've nay heard of the Silverfang Empire? You must be from a far away land. The Silverfang is the empire formed from the allegiance of the Dwarves, Humans, and Elves. Many people put stock in their armies, believing it'll be another to keep them safe. I'm not one of those hopeful fools. I know war is coming, and I'm going to be far away from it when it happens." The cloaked patron says in-between bites of bread. Grumbaki:
As you approach a uniformed town watch member, he gives you attention, firstly cautiously, but when he realizes you wish to speak with him, he relaxes a bit. He says "Oh, you'd want to speak to the captain o course, but he's right out at the moment, at some fancy meeting with some rep-resent-tatives he has a hard time pronouncing that word, so he won't be back until the morning. Would you like me to deliver a message to him? zamiel:
The gnome ponders for a minute. "Well have you ever heard of that belt that could turn into a sword? I've been fancying it for a while, and I'll pay you if you can find it" bladed belt I won't hide interactions between people in spoiler, only solo activities

You ask the first decently armed person about the mines "Oh the mines up north? Nay, they not be owned by Gogh Taruhr. Some may be just mines, while others, they be full on settlements of livin' people like you an I. People be worried you see, if they fall, this city would be next in the line of the orc rampage. I ain't too worried because me ol' sword arm is still handy and me bloodlust still churning." Jerard:
Surprise attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10 You are attacked by a spider that was happily camping on top of the shelves. After lashing out at you, it turns and scampers away as fast as it can Zanton:
You find only an unusual looking fellow in the tavern you are at. They are wearing a full cloak and traveling garb, concealing most of their features. He's there eating food and drinking water. When you ask about the town to him he replies quietly "I don't know much about this town, but I know that if things go poorly with the Silverfang faithful, they'll have a lot more to worry about than a poor harvest, or an increase on taxes." when he turns to you, you can see he has a very ornate shortsword strapped to his left side. Nadia:
You find the bank pretty easily. They know your face and welcome you warmly "Oh Miss Faelus! Welcome! It's such an honor to serve you." they promptly get out the amount of money you ask for and ensure you that everything is safe and sound. Zamiel: You walk into a very quint shop, a little bell rings as you push the door open. "Yes yes, I'll be there in just a moment!" you hear coming from underneath a counter.
After a few long seconds, a small gnome walks out to greet you "Welcome to Magord's Magical Moment! What can I do for you?" ![]()
![]() Zamiel:
Yes there's 2 magic shops, and 1 library. There's also an odds-n-ends shop that has all sorts of stuff grumbaki:
The fact that you call out about the greenskins seems to bring you in more customers than usual. You actually get people you'd never imagine wanting to buy armaments. Run of the mill farmers, women, even young kids are buying your wares. You hear the odd ill-founded rumor about how if the mines to the north fall, then surely it'll only be a matter of time before Breachmarsh is next Jerard:
Almost nobody comes into your store today, one or two do, and they frantically get what they are looking for and leave. Unusual for the townsfolk to not want to converse while browsing the shops stock, or while you tender them change Nadia: You find the town to be very tense. People seem to avoid you because you look different. You may be no greenskin, but that doesn't stop the occasional prejudiced comment to be flung your way. Other than that, the town seems really run of the mill. It has a lot of shops for it's population size, travelling caravans and journeyers seem to bring in a lot of revenue ![]()
![]() Welcome to the start of the campaign. You find yourselves in a largish town called Breachmarsh, roughly containing one thousand people. The town is very diverse, containing many other non-human races. It's a middle trading post between the mechanical wondrous city of Aethelney to the east, and the quiet mine villages to the north. The city of Breachmarsh is surrounded by wooden palisades, so it's moderately defended from the typical bandit raid. There's a small court of government officials who raise/lower taxes and convey empire law. If you so choose you may know each-other before hand, but it's not necessary. Rumors have been circulating for about a month of how the Silverfang Empire is losing cities to goblin and orc siege to the north. People have began to be more paranoid and prejudiced against any half-orc citizens of Breachmarsh. Recently you hear about rumor of a large announcement tomorrow. Coming from the court of the Silverfang Empire itself. How you fit in
If you choose to live in the city, you do not need to make knowledge local to find locations, if you are coming in from outside, you will have advantages when you inevitably leave the city. Other knowledge you know without check:

![]() After looking through all the characters, the party that looks like it would be the most interesting and fun is as follows: Grum Son of Baki: Elemental monk of tons of punches
I'll use Tuesday to finalize characters with everyone. The campaign will start on Wednesday. Looking forward to this. Thanks for all who joined in this thread. ![]()
![]() Whew, what a weekend. Just got back guys. I had very limited access to the internet and it was only on my phone. I'm very behind on messages/posts. Working on catching up currently. I'll announce who'll be in the campaign hopefully before the end of tonight, then I'll use tomorrow as a day to get everything finalized. ![]()
![]() Hey everyone, just a head's up. I'm going to be out this weekend. Please send any questions either to Bandw2, or Jerard Reagan, if they cannot answer from their knowledge, they'll give me a text/call. @Rodrick I'm fine with you creating your item, but infinite anything is pretty powerful, I'd be okay with starting it out for 1,500 gp and 1000 pages. Kind of like making it a living book, and you'll just have to pay a bit more gold/mojo to add more. In theory it'd be infinite, but still have a cost to it. @Grumbaki Recruitment will be ending at the end of Tuesday next week. Play will promptly start on Wednesday. RP: The guard stands where he is, seemingly oblivious to the teleportation of one of the prisoners. After Grum finishes speaking to Joseph the guard stiffens up, and salutes an unseen visitor. He quickly comes into view, a tall elf with blondish gray hair, wearing long flowing ornate robes, with a scroll in his hand. He clears his throat and in his best announcement voice, he speaks: "I have come to collect prisoners for trial. These prisoners are... Marco The Arsonist... Jerard The Thief... Rodrick the Cutthroat. You three are to stand before trial in the Majesty's court, to explain your actions. Come forward one at a time to receive your bindings and escort to the court.. To those who are to remain here, a small breakfast will be served by the end of the hour." With that he turns to walk away, but after taking two steps he turns back around. "Grum... You're free to go, you know your way out. I would tell you to stop winding up in here, but I know that's a waste of breath." As he continues to walk out, three more guards walk past him to the front of the cell. They open it up and wait for the first named prisoner to step forward. One of the guard says "Come now, the quicker we do this, the quicker we can get you free if that is what the court deems." ![]()
![]() Hey guys, sorry for a little slow on a response. Wasn't feeling that great. We aren't using the full equipment pdf I linked, just the Mojo section of it. This makes magical items a little more accessible and more tailored per player. Weapons and Equipment remain unchanged. YorickRequiem: Nightblade is allowed, I'd wager that it'd fit as a bard for Spheres of Power casting. RP Results The guard turns to the cell and scoffs at Jerard Reagan. "You did a little more than just steal apples. Many people had to be tended to after your drunken rampage last night. You'll be in here until a full sentence is decided for you." He then turns to the shouting man who just awoke. "AND YOU! Arson is a very serious crime. You've got a lot to explain to the Majesty's Court later this evening." The guard sweeps his eyes across the rest of the inhabitants, watching the two in the back converse. "You quiet up now Grum, you always make a fuss with all the newcomers every time you're in here, be it from roughing up some vagrant that insulted your beard, or one too many pints of ale." Just as the guard finishes his sentence, another set of boots can be heard entering into the jail room. Followed by a low reverberating boom of a metal door being closed. ![]()
![]() Awesome! Just read it. For stats, you are allowed free reign from 3-18. We are using the honor system. You can then apply racial bonuses to those stats. Choose the stats your character would have, what your character's abilities or personalities need or convey. Please do PM your character once you are done. Posting your character will help all other's know what you're doing, so they can accommodate to make a well rounded party. ![]()
![]() I am trying to get a group going that will post at least once every other day, to keep things going. I'm used to running the same few people in every campaign but I want to gain a few new people. I love seeng how people act in situations. I am making my own adventure path. Anyone is welcome to join in, I'm looking for around a total 3-5 players. I'm recruiting a few people for a gestalt campaign, I'm running spheres of power for magic. see here: Spheres of Power
Character Creation: I LOVE the idea of making characters to fill the role you intend. You get to choose from 3-18 on all stats, you can then apply racial ability score bonuses. You'll start at level 3. This is using the honor system for ability scores. Please let me know what your character idea is. I am house-ruling in additional thematic feats which are: Thematic Feats: I accept all paizo classes/pdfs. I am willing to accept 3rd party sources, but please run them by me first.Mojo Equipment
Thematic feats are a house rule created to allow you to choose feats you normally wouldn’t for the sake of flushing out your character or allowing the ability to gain bonuses that define your character more than you would normally be able to with the normal pathfinder system
Thematic Feats Equipment: We are using the mojo ruleset, please see this link for how mojo effects equipment:Mojo equipment Setting: The world is a very tranquil and peaceful except that trouble happening in the north. There's always rumors about the holds and keeps that are falling to the orcs in the north, maybe a hero will arise and claim the title. The world to the east is very industrious, always crafting new mechanization out of metal to do their every day tasks. West is empty except for deserts, and south is frigid cold wasteland.
