<p><span class=messageboard-bigger><span class=messageboard-ooc>Action 1</span></span>
<br />
Marcallon had no first hand experience with storms at sea, but he had heard enough comparrisons between them and the thunderous jungle storms he <i>was</i> familiar with, to know that death was a much more likely occurence out here on the open blue, so when the first mate told him to take cover below, he obeyed immediately, pausing only to thank the half-orc and the crew for their hard work.</p>
<p><span class=messageboard-bigger><span class=messageboard-ooc>Action 2</span></span>
<br />
Below deck, Marc experienced for the first time one of the "restless nights at sea" he had heard talked about in the various taverns he had visited by the sea and rivers. Putting his restless energy to good use, at least, he secured his equipment as properly as he knew how: he rolled his sharp and delicate tools and equipment in his bedroll, and stuffed it into his bag. He then lashed the pack to a pole with his rope, preventing it from shuffling about in the ship's roiling and roling. Realizing this could work for him, too, he fashioned his rope and his waterskins into a cushioned harness, and lashed himself to the same pole with a tug-to-release knot, just in case. Thus secured, Marc felt confident he would, if not comfortably, survive the night.</p>
<p><span class="messageboard-dice"><b>Fortitude:</b></span> <span class="messageboard-dice">1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 4 + 2 = 21</span> <span class=messageboard-ooc>+2 from preparation/getting helped</span></p>
<p><span class=messageboard-bigger><span class=messageboard-ooc>Action 3</span></span>
<br />
After last night's rigors, the warm drizzle across his face, and the sultry smell of the jungle as they closed on shore, invigorated him. Back in his proper element, he felt sharp and alert once more, and heady with the prospects of this largely untouched mine of potential. Only one thing imposed on his peace of mind. In the chaos of unloading the ship, he thought he'd seen a pair of pristine tusks moving about. Of course such nonsense was impossible, but the fact of the matter was that he had apparently been badly traumatized by his latest misadventure, and <i>that</i> was <i>truly</i> frigthening.</p>
<p>He hoistened his pack as he stepped onto land while contemplating the depth of his trauma, when suddenly he became acutely aware of trouble brewing further ahead. He raised his pondering head just in time to see a local drunk knock the noble, the so called "Papaya King", on his ass. Marc gave a startled laugh at the comedic value of the scene, but then the drunk's words reached him, and Marc remembered that the noble was in fact Chelaxian, and thus, in a certain way, kin to himself.</p>
<p><b>"Oi! Who're you calling a filthy leech, there, you ol' tosspot?!"</b> Marc called out as he started towards them. Unable to help himself, he clenched his fists, crushing the strap of his hoistened pack in anticipation of the coming fight. Which he was of course not going to start.</p>

<p>Giving them what privacy he could afford them on a boat such as this, Bandar walked over to the undisturbed lion and scratched him behind the ears, as if it was nothing but an oversized house cat.</p>
<p><b>"It's my body that pains me, but yes, the ankle is the worst part.</b> Marc tugged off his boot and pulled his pants higher for the woman to see the swelling and bruising properly, as she requested, revealing his tan to stretch all the way down to the boot's very edge. <b>Can you fix it?"</b> Only willing to let his embarassment go so far, and doubtful it truly mattered how he got his bruises anyway, Marc left that part out.</p>
<p>As the healer inspected his ankle, Marc abruptly remembered his manners, and with a dry cough awkwardly presented himself <b>"My name is Marcallon Lynch, by the way."</b></p>

<p>The previous night's scuffle, and his inexperience with sailing, had Marcallon struggling from the start of the first day on board, despite his jolly spirits. When he tried to copy the rolling gait of the crew or the experienced passengers, his limp got in the way, and when he didn't he was thrown about like a sack of potatoes. After a particularly nasty fall that had the crew laughing, he sullenly confined himself to the cargo hold.</p>
<p><b>"Nkosi, I have learned, that there is sangoma<span class=messageboard-ooc>•</span> on board. Maybe she can fix that leg?"</b> Bandar had had no trouble on deck, and had talked to a few of the crew members, even helped out a little where he could. Few had dared go near the place where Bandar's lion lay, apparently sleeping.</p>
<p>Marc rose eagerly, using the walls for support <b>"Take me to him please, this is unbearable."</b></p>
<p>They climbed back out of the cargo hold, Marc supported by Bandar, and made their way to where a woman sat, obviously mixing poultices. <b>"The sangoma is a woman?!"</b> Marc hissed at Bandar. Bandar only shrugged, but the hint of a smile could be seen in his eyes.</p>
<p><b>"Are you the healer?"</b> Marc avoided the woman's eyes, looking about, flustered and clearly unpleased, maybe even angry, and Bandar sat him down unceremoniously before her. </p>

Marc was among them. A tall, bald Mwangi in colonial clothes of poor fit sat beside him, eyeing Marc and his whiskey curiously. </p>
<p><b>"I fail to see how this is helping, Nkosi."</b> his voice was like the rumbling of distant thunder. Dark, deep and unsympathetic. Marc, hunched over the bar disk and staring at his glass, ignored him, seemingly lost in thoughts of a self-pitying nature as he muttered to himself words of profane encouragement. Suddenly and without prompt, his anger flared, and he slammed his hand onto the bar hard and roared <b>"Just one day too slow, I f$~~ing had it, Bandar!"</b> He looked at the Mwangi at his side and held out his hand in a grasping gesture <b>"Right f+!%ing here!"</b>.</p>
<p>Marcallon and Bandar had arrived in Eleder three days earlier with a haul of ivory from the elephants of the M'neri Plains and the Laughing Jungle, intending to sell it on and become rich men. However, just one day before, ivory hunting and trade had been forbidden for anyone not carrying an official permit signed by the Sargavan Office of Regional Safari <i>and</i> The Foreign Trade Ministry. As a result, Marc and Bandar's ivory was confiscated, and they faced charges of poachery, the latter which were quickly dispelled by a bribe consisting of the remainder of their legal cargo.</p>
<p>Dead broke, they had been forced to take some cheap, dirty work wherever they could get it. Luckily, they were well acquainted with a place called "The Sargava Club", a sort of combination inn, tavern and outfitting shop for adventurers and explorers, and on their second day in Eleder, had heard rumors of the Kaava Cutter and its destination. Ever opportunistic, Marc soon convinced the more cautious Bandar that going on the Cutter was as good an idea as any. After all, they could hardly be worse off than they were now.</p>
<p>And so, after selling some of their less vital equipment for funds to pay for passage on the Cutter, Marc could stop worrying about the future, and start lamenting the past as viewed through the lens of alcohol.</p>
<p><b>"Keep it down, punk!"</b> A big man, taldan by the looks of him, turned to sneer at Marc after the latter's outburst, <b>"Go treat your sore seat somewhere you're not disturbing the rest of us."</b></p>
<p>Deliberate and slow, Marc rose from his seat, still steady on his feet, and crossed the floor over to where the big man, who had turned back to his own table, laughing with his friends, sat. Marc tapped him lightly on the shoulder, and he turned back again, annoyed. <b>"Apologize to the barkeep for the mess"</b> Marc looked the man in the eyes as he spoke, slowly, as if to a child. </p>
<p><b>"Mess? What me..."</b> Marc's fist slammed into the man's face like a sledge hammer, cutting his question short and sending him flying across the table he and his friends were playing at, crashing it on its flimsy legs. <b>"Anyone else with a stupid comment?"</b> In the stunned silence of everyone in the bar, Marc's inciting remark roused the man's friends' ire, and they jumped him like a pack of wolves. Across the bar, Bandar sighed heavily <b>"Barkeep, a whiskey please."</b></p>

He should be very intriguing to play in this kind of campaign. He's not a loner type, and I'm not gonna play him as one, despite what you might think you read under his personality profile; He's more of a "desperately looking for people to appreciate him" kinda guy. Obviously this is going to make him properly loyal to those he befriends – hint: the other party members, or at least some of them. (I'm not gonna force friendliness on all the other characters, but I will force it a little on at least a few if neccessary)</p>
<p><b><a href="http://paizo.com/people/MarcallonLynch" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Marcallon Lynch</a></b>
<br />
<b>Appearance:</b> The once pale skin of his Chelaxian heritage has been tanned a deep, rustic brown by countless hours outdoors, but many other typical Chelaxian features still shine through: a sharp chin, black hair and dark eyes. He's stocky and at least a few inches above 6 feet. Stubble covers his cheeks, but a proper 'stache lies like a fat larvae on his upper lip, matching his bushy brows.</p>
<p>Upon his brow sits a simple felt hat of an undecided brown color, casting a protective shade over his face. He wears a simple khaki shirt with a single breastpocket over the heart, and a pair of greyish-brown pants together with sturdy walking boots and a jacket in the same color. He also wears a shoulder bag and a canvas belt; the latter which holds his gun, a powderhorn, a bullet pouch and a machete.</p>
<p><b>Background</b>: Born on his family's coffee farm, to parents maintaining their Chelaxian citizenship despite Sargava's break with Cheliax, Marcallon and his brother had an easy childhood of slave-funded luxuries. Time was spent getting educated, exploring or playing "hellknights and hoodlums" and similar games; generally, time was leasurely. However, Marcallon dreamt of becoming a Hellknight – a true champion of the Chelaxian ways – and did not waste <i>too</i> much time playing around.</p>
<p>With some help from what could well be called the Chelish Embassy in Sargava, and the family connections earned through selling a luxury ware such as coffee, Marcallon received a letter from Lictor Uro Adom of the Order of the Chain, accepting him as a Hellknight Armiger – a Hellknight initiate – in his order in Corentyn, Cheliax, once he reached 23 years; until such a time, he was permitted to train with the local Hellknights in Eleger called the Order of the Coil.</p>
<p>Upon receiving this news, Marcallon hurriedly went to Eleger to start his training with the Coil. However, despite the Lictor's letter, the Hellknights in Sargava refused to entertain the fancies of the young man, whom they considered nothing more than a pampered boy. Marcallon would not stand for such humiliation, and demanded at least the initiate garb and gear, which, maybe surprisingly, they granted him.</p>
<p>Returning home triumphantly, he had to show off to his family. It was a great show, out in the fields in the dry season. Until It came time to show off the Alchemist's Fire that was part of the standard gear. Marcallon doesn't remember what happened, it could have been the wind or a bad throw, but quite suddenly, a wild fire was blazing across the coffee fields. Capricious and volatile winds spread the flames wide and seperated the family, and Marc watched in horror, helplessly, as the fire consumed his nieces and his brave father, as he tried to save them.</p>
<p>Not only had the fire consumed Marc's nieces and his father, but also his sister-in-law, a score slaves and more than half the plantation.
<br />
At the funeral, Marc felt the blame palpably from his mother and brother. Like a swarm of biting mosquitoes on a humid, windless day. He decided then to leave; telling himself they would be better off without him, without him there to constantly remind them of the disaster HE caused. He would have to help them some other way.</p>
<p>Now, a few years later, with several get-rich-quick schemes gone wrong and some real-world experience under his belt, Marcallon Lynch finds himself anticipating the journey further south. Maybe there he will find forgiveness through success...?</p>
<p><b>Personality</b>: Proud, arrogant and with a temper, you wouldn't think think to call Marcallon a popular guy. However, his gallows humor in the face of adversity, his natural leadership skills; his no-nonsense attitude and his willingness to be the first in the lion's den brings people to follow him despite his flaws.</p>
<p>People who have known him for a while may find him to be a simple man and easy to read, yet he holds depth enough to surprise even his old acquantances regularly.</p>
<p>In many ways, Marc can be considered a typical Chel. He's proud, arrogant, and values family and tradition. However, he is clearly shaped by his past mistakes and by the toll of the life on the savannah and in the jungles, and despite his arrogance knows that HE is the ONLY one that's going to turn his life around. After all, why should anyone else care to?</p>
<p>This all leaves Marcallon a fairly lonely fellow. He tries to numb his loneliness with drink, but this just serves to push even more people away, as he gets even more temperamental, even violent, when he's on the bottle.</p>Alright, I've decided to go with Marcallon as I've never done this type of character before.

<p>I'm envisioning the Chelaxian as a sort of big game hunter, maybe a bit stuck up and arrogant, but largely ignorant of the actual hardships of the world because he's from a well to-do family. He also has a temper, and expects to be listened to, especially when he has been drinking, which he does often, then he might even get violent. He probably has a firearm, but since you already have a gunslinger, he won't be.</p>
<p>The Zenj is probably a tracker or a a runner. After being alone in the wilds – On the savannah or in the jungle – for some time, his loneliness brings him back to civilization. Or at least a semblance of such. He's cautious and does not trust easily, but never tries to stab others in the back. He lives as he hopes others would. Maybe his loneliness brought him a companion of some sort, either in the shape of a familiar or an actual animal companion.</p>

<p><b>"Sorry about the delay, sirs, madams."</b> Vance arrives later than the others, looking not at all sorry for any inconvenience his tardiness might have caused.

<p><span class=messageboard-ooc>Present</span></p>
<p>The prospect of even greater reward has Vance feeling dubious. The amount of gold being thrown around is staggering to him, and while he's used to wealthy people, suddenly being wealthy himself is an unwonted position. It seems all too easy. However, his equivocal attitude dissolves as soon as he opens the chest, and its twinkling contents illuminate his face; his eyes taking on a strangely absent quality in the golden sheen.</p>
<p><b>"Careful Arruk. You of all people should know about being underestimated."</b> His eyes never leave the gold as he speaks in a soft, absentminded, almost mono-tone. He picks up a single piece of the gold and examines it in the dull light of the parlor. <b>"They might not overthrow Thrune, but they could kill some fools in their folly. I don't want to be one of those fools."</b></p>Before meeting Razelago

<p><b>"Why, nobility is my specialty, sir! In Egorian, my typical clientele consists of aristocratic, typically, but not limited to, tourists, visiting the opera. I have even had the pleasure of chauffeuring royalty a few times as well!."</b> Vance boasts with barely contained rapture as he leads the way back out of the house and through the window. He has every faith his carriage will exceed Justimar's, and his other compatriots' for that matter, expectations. The carriage is his pride and his honor. As the carriage comes into view, Vance changes back into his customary subservient tone once more, but basks gloriously in the reactions of the diverse party: <b>"In anticipation of your wish for a ride back to town, your papers await you inside, sir."</b></p>
<p>Before you stand a magnificent view, the like of which you have never imagined. The sheer intensity of pure chelish manufacture before you conjure up either the intense pride of a nationalist, or the rumbling dissent of an antagonist. At first glance, the carriage seems to be constructed of Arcadian marble in dark red hues and black, with sharp lines, narrow points and brutal, jagged spikes. However, a closer inspection under the sun reveals the truth; the timber has been polished in such a way as to achieve this effect. You doubt you would be able to scrutinize this in the night, however. The door bears iconography, on one side the cruelty of the Tines, and on the other a portrait of her Infernal Majestrix Abrogail II boldly kissing the air at the viewer. Chelish people may recognize this duality as the methodology "The Kiss and the Lash" taken to either extreme. The doorhandles of the carriage carries the likeness of the <a href="http://pathfinderwiki.com/wiki/File:Cheliax_flag.jpg" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Chelish flag's circle</a> forged from red gold, and at the front by the driver hangs two bull's eye lanterns in the shape of imp's heads, with the light coming from their mouths, like <a href="" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Comedy and Tragedy</a> one laughing; the other woeful.</p>
<p>Upon entering, you confront a scene of such seemingly fragile beauty, you fear you may break it simply by glancing. Of course the notion is quickly dispelled as you find yourself staring, yet nothing has broken. Black leather and red silk cover most of the interior that can comfortably hold four people; two on opposite sides of a wooden table suspended between floor and ceiling by taut, yet unobtrusive strings that manage to keep the table roughly plane during even a rougher ride. On this table, next to a built in candelabra, lies Justimar's papers.</p>
<p>Pulling the carriage are two foreign looking horses, each with a fire in their eyes suggesting both their wildness and their intelligence. One is a jet black stallion, and the other an auburn mare with a mane like rippling fire. Anyone who know anything about Varisia, or horses, recognize them as Varisian broncos.</p>
<p><b>"Welcome, ladies & gentlemen, to <i>The Kiss and the Lash</i>!"</b></p>
<p><span class=messageboard-ooc>At the Church Square</span></p>
<p>Like Amatsu, Vance does not wear the badge, but has it with him should the need, or the inclination, arise.</p>
<p><b>"What do you mean "great things"?"</b> Vance directs sententiously at the girls, and, voice heavy with sorrow, continues with a sigh and a shake of the head, <b>"Sounds like more blood spilled, more lives lost, to me."</b> He hadn't meant to follow Justimar, it just happened, and even Vance was slightly taken aback as he realized this. It may be tougher to shed the subservient attitude, apodted over the course of his still short life, than he had hoped.</p>
<p><span class=messageboard-ooc>I hope the beginning of my post does not break momentum, but I had to describe the carriage. As much for my own compulsory pleasure as anything :)</span></p>

<p>Seeing the Ash House in the daylight hours, Vance truly takes note of the dilapidated state of the manor. Not where he would have held secret councils, that's for sure. Not expecting to stay long, Vance simply ties up the horses to a nearby tree, placing the carriage in the shade, and walks in through the windows. </p>
<p><b>"Sir, I must confess to some reservations on this as well. Why use <i>us</i> for a job such as this? I was under the impression our endeavors would be strictly, or at least chiefly, covert."</b> Vance adds his voice to support Justimar's position, albeit not his motives.</p>

He walks toward town thinking of his new luxury whip and the gold clinking in his now bulging pouch; of his new companions, disparate as they may be; of this strange town of untapped potential.

<p>Five uneventful days of travel on the dusty road from Egorian to Longacre had tarnished the carriage. Much of the once pristinely polished timber had taken on a matte lifelessness; a wheel had lost a spoke and ran unevenly across the lonesome road, bumping with every turn; the team was covered in a layer of sweaty dust, tails wagging mindlessly at flies much more aggressive than their city kin. But this exhausted little expedition trekked ever on, carrying the most precious of cargo of all: a sense of purpose, a shred of hope, and a flicker of excitement. In short, the beginning of an adventure.</p>
<p>For the first time, Vance could see the elusive light at the end of the tunnel. Not just because Longacre was finally visible on the horizon, but because of the prospects the small town promised. The imp had been vague, even moreso than was usual, but there were unmistakable hints at fortune in the future. So long as he served. Vance was used to serving. As a coachman, it could indeed be summed up as the purpose of his profession – and Vance resented it. Nobility, and other wealthy patrons, constantly attempting to frame him to further their own plots, treating him as no more than a collateral pawn in their games; the arrogance and the haughty attitudes of those that believed themselves better than him; and the complete disregard with which they treated him. One day, he would serve no more.</p>
<p>Before reaching Longacre, Vance changed from his dirty travel clothes to his proper coachman's dress. His new clothing clean, fitted and well cared for; his sturdy boots of varisian aurochs leather always freshly shined; a great and well-groomed beard braided from the chin down covered half his face, and a widebrimmed, feathered hat covered his short, military-fashion haircut; a loose cotton coat covering a simple white shirt giving him a stately and official look, even with his unorthodox kaleidoscopic scarf. After all, he would have to look his best to find a proper artisan to fix his beloved carriage. He would attract no decent patronage in its current state.</p>
<p>While waiting for his carriage to be properly conditioned, Vance spends the day looking for a hotel or an inn to keep his belongings, and attempts to learn more about Longacre and the task at hand.</p>

<p><span class=messageboard-ooc>Present</span></p>
<p>Silent throughout the exchange until introductions, Vance bows low in the typical Egorian fashion – but with a small Varisian flourish – as he takes on the role of a man born to serve.</p>
<p><b>"It is an honor to make your acquaintances, sirs. Madams. Vance Magravi at your service.</b> Still bowing, Vance speaks silently and with a varisian accent. Unlike his coachman's garb, his current attire is much simpler: a dark blouse and trousers with a veil covering his beard and a mask covering the rest of his face. A single sword hangs at his hip.</p>
<p><b>"What do you propose we do about the dog then, sir?"</b> he adresses Justimar.</p>The previous day

I've always felt that whips are a bit cheesy, and the amount of feats I have to pick for it to function like I wish it is turning out to be a bit stiffling, so I think going with a different primary weapon would be a bit more entertaining. The talk about tattoos put me in mind to pick Varisian Tattoo as my last trait, which gives me proficiency in the bladed scarf – quite a flavorful fit, if I say so myself.</p>
<p>Here's what I'm thinking:
<br />
Instead of using a whip, as in the weapon, I'll get a <a href="http://www.d20pfsrd.com/equipment—-final/weapons/weapon-descriptions/whip-training" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">training whip</a> and the catch off-guard feat. Only 10 ft. long but otherwise identical to a whip, I figure it would function like a whip with 10 feet reach instead of the standard 15. Not being my primary weapon, but still combat available, will save me a number of whip related feats, and open up a very different set of doors. I think it would be more variable combat, and should turn out more entertaining.</p>
<p>It would change my focus from "whip use and dirty tricks" to "damage and dirty tricks", with a little more variation. What do you think?</p>Game Master, how do you feel about a fairly major change to Vance in regards to his weaponry and build?

<p>With Vance in mind, here are my thoughts on yours:</p>
<p>A life oracle eh? Well, I guess you don't really have to be a good guy to care about life. Still, an interesting choice. I look forward to seeing the character :)</p>
<p>The tattoo focus sounds really awesome. As a half-Varisian Vance has some tattoos of his own, but getting them enchanted? Now that would be neat. Probably something with snakes/serpents, what with his whip focus. This brings me to summons: Maybe some snakes/serpents would be a good thematical fit?</p>

</p>
It had been several months since Vance had received one of his assignments from the harelipped imp who had become his "handler," so he was reasonably startled when the detestable little fiend materialized right before his face as he was drifting off to sleep. Relishing the man's discomfort, the imp explained that his tenure with the imp's master was coming to its end, and that Vance should make the trek to the tired township of Longacre and present himself to a woman answering to the name of Cimri. Seeming unsurprised to see him once he arrived, this young woman explained that she had a job for him.</blockquote><p>Roger. At the beginning of the adventure, approximately how long has Vance been in Longachre? I was thinking he pretty much only just arrived, but I can see the others have been there a while, so I want to make sure :)

<p><ul>
<br />
<li> Daniel is born in Karcau, Ustalav.
<br />
<li> His mother was an opera singer, and his father was a pharasmin priest.
<br />
<li> He has a younger brother.
<br />
<li> A clash between a cultist of the old gods, a scarzni werewolf and a vampire resulted in a heap of collateral damage: His brother was mentally addled by a failed attempt at possession, his mother was turned into a vampire, and he himself was afflicted with lycanthropy.
<br />
<li> His brother has since been admitted to the asylum in Caliphas, his mother has disappeared, and his lycanthropy has been cured. However, his studies have revealed a way to call upon the curse through alchemy (Mutagen).
<br />
<li> Daniel went to Lepidstadt university (Also where he was cured), where he studied mainly alchemy, engineering and medicine.
<br />
</ul></p>
<p>Daniel feels that in a world of magic, both divine and arcane, the common man without such should still have a means to protect and defend himself, and he believes firearms are the way to go. Thus, he is dedicated to spreading their use.</p>
<p>At his core, what drives him are 3 hopes: 1. To find a cure for whatever it is that ails his brother; 2. To arm the common man against the dark forces of the world and to cut out the corruption from within Ustalav (not the world, at current.), and; 3. To find and help his mother.</p>
<p>As an educated man with the title "doctor", he considers himself the surgeon that will cut out the taint and heal the land. As a hobby, he is creating a pair of homunculi to aid him.</p>
<p>There are a few incongruities and holes, but I believe I've got a good base :)</p>reinventing my old character, I've brainstormed this thus far:

<p>My first thought is to play a character I designed for a Council of Thieves game that died. He's an investigator (steel hound) with a deep fascination of the occult. He is also a liberal socialist and wants to bring guns to the people, at a profit, of course. Originally from Ustalav where he graduated from Lepidstadt university, he decided to move to Absalom for his business to flourish, and now runs the store "Steel Panacea" where he sells guns and alchemical creations. I imagine his efforts may have had an influence on the change in gun availability and pricing.</p>
<p>My second idea is a Dhampir (or maybe an oread) from Galt. He would have been an executioner – a Gray Gardener – that had to leave when the gray gardeners were no longer entitled their anonymity; OR because he believed the anonymity of the gray gardeners was a risk to a healthy devolpment of Galt, and was branded a traitor. Not quite set on this. I'm also thinking he used to be ignorant of the true horrors of the world, having seen only the monstrous acts of humans, and the other core races, but who had a rude awakening after a close-encounter with some undead or other horror from the dark. Maybe and Urdefhan believing him to be a vampire or something.</p>
<p>Also, a mechanical question: Would the investigator be able to take the alchemist discovery "Promethean Disciple"? He would like to craft homunculi, but there is no good way for an investigator to do so.</p>Since this is set slightly in the future, maybe we have some creative freedom in regards to the state of affairs in Golarion?

<p>The only changes to the OP in regards to character creation is that the <i>Occult Adventures Playtest</i> is no longer valid as your additional source book, however Occult Adventures is available by default.</p>
<p>I feel it prudent to mention that it is my fault that we lost the 2 players initially. I disappeared with not a word, and has only recently returned to finish what I started. I can safely say that won't happen again though :) This also means, however, that we have not actually started the module yet, so you have all chances to get the full experience.</p>
<p>I look forward to playing with you.</p>Recruitment reopened!

<p>Tsukitaro ties up Donkey at the trough and you all proceed inside. The doors are heavy and creaking, but not locked. Inside stands only sturdy tables and stools on a floor covered by simple rugs. On the walls hang racks of common tools, and tools for their maintenance. At the far end from the entrance is a big hearth that serves more purposes than simply heating the temple in the winter. All of it seem just a little bit neglected; the rugs could use a beating, some of the tools have fallen from their racks, and judging by the accumulation of coal and soot the fireplace hasn't been cleaned for quite a while.</p>

A cruel grip rather than a literal hook hand is the story behind Dunstan's nickname; he has some grappling feats.
Thinks of others in terms of their functions and interactions

<br />
Some time ago, I was in a fairly small scale accident at work. It's not quite clear what happened, but apparently I had been overworking myself for far too long, and my body finally gave in. I passed out and woke up in hospital, having forgotten a great many "non-essential" things. I had developed a medium-mild case of amnesia.</p>
<p>It is only just a few days ago I started to remember about these PhP games I participated in, and according to my psychiatrist, they were most likely part of the issue.</p>
<p>Unfortunately I won't be picking up the game just yet. My psychiatrist has a hard time evaluating how much energy I put into a PhB game, so he can't condone me spending any energy on it at all. This is somehat of a cop-out on my part as well, as I'm not sure how much energy it takes for me to play online either, and in an effort to avoid a similar experience again, I'm taking the safe route for now.</p>

<p>Daniel takes the seat next to Aristaios. <b>"Hmm, Seven chairs huh? Guess we're expecting yet more people."</b> As people arive, Daniel greets them all, making quick judgements and putting two-and-two together in regards to the situation.</p>
<p>On Abraham: <i>"Hmm, a spellcrafter of sorts, and not afraid to show it. He might be showing off simple tricks to appear more competent than he truly is. Apparently he likes to take charge."</i></p>
<p>On Viktyr: <b>"Aha! yet another of the Inheritor's agents!"</b> He comment when Viktyr mentions his devotion to Iomedae. <i>"A cautious fellow, as he should be in this this land.

He blushes slightly, but grasps his belt pouch containing his gold firmly; after all, it is a common tactic for pick-pockets to employ a captivating woman to distract the target. <i>"She must be a..."</i> However before he can finish the thought, he is pulled back out yet again by her words. He catches the card awkwardly, and reads it over. As he looks up, her silhouette is disappearing into the crowd, <b>"Wait! Stop!"</b> He calls after her, but alas, no reply.</p>
<p>However strange the little ordeal with the woman was though, it did strike a nerve with him. He is not happy about the state of Westcrown at all. Hope, curiousity and consternation wars within him as he stands outside of the establishment. In the end, hope lost out completely, and curiousitiy, as per usual, dominated consternation.</p>
<p>Daniel opens the door. At the sound of creaking, he curses himself and his clumsiness. Of course such a decrepit place would present difficulties. <i>"Defintely not your usual dinner rendezvous"</i> he thinks to himself as he glances inside. <b>"Oh holy f...!"</b> With a yelp and a curse Daniel almost jumps back when he sees the two people inside. He exhales hard and clears his throat before he speaks <b>"Umm, hello, who are you people? I don't suppose you're here for supper?"</b> he asks skeptically from the door. <i>"Great, I don't know what I expected... I doubt I can take them both."</i> He stays in the doorway, weighing his options.</p>
<p>At about 5'8", Daniel is rather short. He wears a long gray woolen coat over a simple white linen shirt, a beige waistcoat and cotton khakis supported by a dark-brown leather belt. The belt includes several small loops for tying pouches, a waterskin, a rapier scabbard and extends into a bandolier gun holster worn beneath the waistcoat. He has clear brown eyes and medium to long length golden/dark blonde hair gathered in a ponytail, which hangs like a mane around his clean shaven, angular face. On his cheek is a single straight scar.</p>Pulled out of his thoughts, Daniel whirls around in surprise at the intimate greeting "Lov... What?!" and finds himself face to face with the woman.

The sensation lasts for barely a moment, and when it dissapates, you realize you had closed your eyes, and you are left with only a lingering sense of awe.</p>
<p>As you open your eyes again, you see that the teleportation must have worked, because you're no longer in the musty underground office of the chtonian lodge. Instead, you find yourself outside under a clear blue sky, sun already baking despite the still early hour of the day. You stand by a tree near a bridge crossing a small river, and on the other side Cesca crowns a gradual slope. As if wary of leaving the safety of the hill, narrow streets wind up between quaintly cramped buildings of clay and weathered fieldstone, creating a labyrinth of hidden courtyards and shadowed alleys—some so tight as to prevent even cats from squeezing through. Quoins etched with the faces, crests, or names of builders and past residents adorn the oldest homes, with each generation apparently adding their own mark upon a building.</p>
<p>A man with a mule pulling a small cart full of carrots, lettuce, onions and potatoes towards Cesca stops dead in his tracks in shock at your sudden appearance, his mule whinnying with surprise.</p>
<p>Back at the lodge, Donkey is hesitant with entering the circle. It might not be a smart animal, but it has a great sense of self-preservation, and 3 people have just disappeared out of thin air on that spot. No way it's moving as you wish it in such an agitated state. <span class=messageboard-ooc>Tsukitaro, give me a <i>Handle Animal</i> skill check to determine how long it takes you to calm Donkey down and get him through to the other side.

What are you looking to craft? I could possibly see getting rid of the limitations on what crafting feats you can take. </blockquote><p>I'll just explain my, as of yet unpolished, character concept:
<p>A shoanti investigator (steel hound) of the Sklar-Quah. She is no longer with her Quah, as her fascination with the ancient thassilonian civilization was considered wrong and unhealthy by the tribe's leaders. She was given a choice: stop seeking things that ought not to be sought, or leave the Quah. She chose to leave. Her fascination started as a child, when she found a pistol close to one of the Thassilonian monoliths, and mistakenly thought the two were connected. She still believes so, but she might learn different over the course of the campaign (I expect so at least). The pistol broke down after she learned how it functioned, but she has kept it ever since. In game terms, she has the gun at level 1, but she only figures out a way to make it work again by level 2.</p>
<p>She is still spiritual, and wears small totem-like beads as jewelry, and makes a new one everytime something big happens in her life. So far she has 3-7 (depending on what my background story reveals). Unfortunately, she also has a fair amount of unhealthy habbits: Alchohol, smoke, maybe even drugs, those kinds of things.</p>
<p>I plan to take the traits "Scholar of the Ancients" and "Shoanti Steed".</p>
<p>My hope was to be able to craft Homunculi at some point, which requires Craft Construct. This homunculi would act as the Doctor Watson to my Sherlock Holmes. At the very least, I assume there won't be any firearms as loot, so I'd take Craft Magic Arms and Armor under any circumstances. Alternatively I would take a leadership type feat and gain a cohort that can act as my Doctor Watson instead. 4 feats is a hefty price for a homunculus after all.</p>Goldmyr wrote:Alchemists and investigators can craft with the Master Craftsman feat.

He starts to pet the gargoyle absentmindedly, when suddenly life returns to his features as he opens his eyes and looks up at you.</p>
<p><b>"You're here"</b> he exclaims surprised. Recovering, he continues: <b>"Good, good... We can get started then."</b> As he stands back up the gargoyle flaps our of his lap and onto the desk with a cat-like hiss, and you get a good look of the man. He is rather short, about 5'8", and wears a long, gray woolen coat. His golden blonde hair is just a tad bit too long and hangs like a mane around his angular face and his brown eyes are clear but wearied. As he reaches into his coat, you catch the sight of a revolver hanging from his belt next to a pearl-white wayfinder. From the folds of his coat he produces a small silk purse which he lays on the desk.</p>
<p>He clears his throat before he speaks: <b>"My name is Daniel R. Peterson, and I'm the venture-captain of this lodge. I'd like to formally welcome you to the Chtonian Chroniclers, and as a proof of your membership, extend you this useful token."</b> He pauses to empty the contents of the purse onto the table, and 4 jet-black wayfinders lay before you. He hands one to each of you and shakes your hand briefly. As he hands the last one to Kevos, he clasps his hands together: <b>"So, any questions?"</b></p>As Kevos extends his hand with the flask, the door opens and a man in a long coat walks in. He pauses at the sight of the extended flask in his path, gives Kevos a short glance, and swipes it. After a long gulp he hands it back with a sigh: "Yes, yes very good, thank you." Heedless of the rest of you, he walks in and seats himself heavily behind the desk. With closed eyes, he starts to massage his temples.

<p>Inside the office, waiting for the office's owner to arrive, three people – Ryder Craw, Kevos Iola and Ferratal – stand appraising each other. You have each been told to report here, in the office of venture-captain Dr. Daniel R. Peterson, to receive your wayfinders and to sort out traveling arrangements.</p>
<p>A little while later, the door opens. A tall and meticulously groomed man walks in together with a just as groomed goblin in Tien fashions. The man looks around briefly, giving each of you a nod before he bids the goblin farewell with a fond smile: <b>"Well, this is it, Tsukitaro, I can't do any more. Thank you once again and good luck. The Doctor should be here in a moment."</b> The man closes the door as he leaves, and you are now four people in the room.</p>3 Sarenith, 4715 AR — Chtonian Lodge Beneath Lepidstadt University

<p><b>Thoughts on the build:</b>
<br />
As I was building this character, I was incredibly frustrated with the amount of stats I needed to have in the decent numbers to appear relevant, so I went with a race (aasimar) that got 2x +2. I considered Human with the alternate racial trait, but the Augury spell-like ability seemed to fit perfectly with a shaman, so I stuck with the aasimar. I’ve also never played an aasimar, so that weighed a little on the scales as well.</p>
<p>Adding to this, I planned to go Nature from the start, which reduced the MAD slightly, so I think the character should work decently.
<br />
In short: A very human-like aasimar because he lost some, and sacrificed some others of his bloodline’s powers over his youth. He’s a daredevil, and his mongoose companion, Scav, is the same. They spent their youth daring each other to do crazy stunts, but never one without a purpose of some sort. He’s from Sandpoint, Varisia orignally, but went to Magnimar for one of their dares. He’s on the Jenivere because the spirits urged him to: Something to do with snake spirits, and Tom having a role to play (need some collaboration with the DM for the particulars).</p>
<p>I’m having some trouble writing in all my details for his background, as it ended up being a bit more of an “advanced” character than I had originally thought I would make, but hey, that’s a luxury problem. I’ll be submitting what I have fleshed out for now, and continue on it over the next 12 hours (need some sleep, don't want the quality to be low).</p>Runge submitting Tom Selvor, an aasimar nature shaman with a mongoose familiar called Scav.
