Apologies to both tables. Work and family visits have me drained. Pausing until Tuesday. Enjoy your weekends!

Thanks, Tura. We'll start tonight if Hadri and Omni have or have not chimed in.

Congratulations on Level 2 everyone. Great work to everyone, especially Shintaro, at getting us past the first hurdles socially. I know the chance to show your builds off is something everyone is looking forward to and let me assure you, the action will start shortly.

Shintaro? I think everyone's waiting for you to further wow the goblins with offers of wine, food, and fire. I know it's a nebulous negotiation but you started beautifully.

I hope you feel better.

I think a July 4th vacation from game is warranted. I’ll update Table 2 with RP and Table 1 with a map later today but enjoy the fireworks.

For any international players, Happy Canada Day (belatedly)!

I've been avoiding adding to the thread in case Djack's friend wants to join. We're under two weeks to start and once everyone is marked, the scene leaves the prison, so recruiting new members is harder. I also wanted to give Tura a chance to speak before we go outside though she can definitely use the 'wet dog' line then as it is really good.

@Djack: I think my instructions are unclear, but unless you have traits that increased your money significantly, I'm assuming your 'I had/want items worth ~2500gp' is more of the future planning for the character. All that is approved.

@Lacrima, Tura: For each of you, magical Hide, Masterwork weapon (x1), a pool of random: 1d12 ⇒ 10 non-masterwork weapons including javelins, do you each want a wand of some sort or have another ~1000 gold worth of items you want?

@Shintaro: Masterwork full plate, Masterwork Transformation on your katana, and maybe another masterwork item/transformation would put you near the 'budget' for your character in the paladin's offer

@ Lacrima - Excellent.

@ Redac - I understand. Thanks for affirming your continued interest in joining Lacrima et al at Table 2.

@ Digger - Sure. I'd suggest either Constable or Standard Bearer archetype. I'd also allow you to use either archetype with Samurai to give up the mount feature if you like. Either way, you can definitely be a samurai/cavalier with a dash of Eastern flavor from Minkaian lands who acted in accordance with the laws of your land in Ustalav, making you a criminal by their standards as you didn't fill out the right forms in triplicate.

Background:
It's a standard day in the bowels of the Ustalavic prison you call home for the rest of your foreseeable life. You're in the mess hall on the second floor, eating your mystery meal to the extent your stomach permits. The monotony of yet another day behind bars is disturbed by the sound of clanking metal coming up the stairwell. The guard don't wear that much armor aside from when the local nobles decide to visit, and even then, there's usually more of an effort to "hide the bodies" first. Two gleaming suits of armor round the corner and the shorter of the two bangs on their shield with a gauntlet to make sure everyone's attention is captured.

"Who is interested in earning time off their sentence?" he says with a smile.

Concept:
One-shot of prisoners helping two paladins investigate a fortress in the wilderness. This is the lead-in to the kingdom building follow-up that sees what happens with the fortress after a generation of peaceful contact with the outside world. Preference for that campaign will go to players from this one-shot.

Questions?

I know I am reviving an old thread, but this is Carrion Crown, so it seems fitting.

Thanks to everyone for their advice and wisdom. A few details I added to my game (because of this thread and my own ingenuity):

1. The characters all have nightmares (3 currently per PC, a few generic untailored nightmares) and 1 good dream per PC, printed out on paper and wrapped in color coded ribbons (the good dream has an additional multi-colored ribbon).

2. I use the nightmares to introduce AA from book 6 in book 1.

3. I encoded the poem from book 3 and left it in Harrowstone

4. I added Troy Gildenstern and Abed Rosenkrantz - two NPC who are doomed to die. Troy is a clueless paladin of Ragathiel and Abed is a medium (when Abed said this, Troy said he was more of a 'large, extra large kind of guy' and inappropriately winked at Kendra).

5. I created Mad Libs or Groetus Sentences.
