Midnight Angel is banned for having insufficient sexiness for an angel.
In a puff of acrid smelling black smoke, the DM shows up, looking around with an air of apparent cluelessness. She seems dazed, confused, and fatigued, and does not appear to have any comprehension as to what is currently going on. The DM takes damage due to incompetence.
As the vicious monster falls to the ground, you hear more sounds of battle, seemingly coming from both west and north. Perhaps whatever is going on is bigger than just one cyclops? It certainly sounds like more than one fight is going on. Which direction do you head in? Or do you stay where you are?
Will Save against Evil Eye Success. The hex did nothing. All of the attacks hit, and the creature had 246 HP, meaning it died in the middle of Timandra's turn.

Agathangelos:
Initiative Rolls: Timandra Mentu Agathangelos Andreas Ariston Filthy Beast Andreas and Timandra, since you rolled the same I'm ruling that whoever has the higher initiative bonus (Andreas) acts first. So, the initiative order is: Ariston
Got it. I'll do that now.
As you all leave the bath house an earsplitting roar fills the air and a screaming hoplite flies past the five of you, slamming into a wall with the crack of shattering bone. About 30 feet away stands a massive humanoid creature with matted hair and one eye dressed is badly prepared furs and wielding a massive club. A small number of hoplites surround it, trying to bring it down with their spears while a similar number flees for their lives.
So, Timandra's the last one who needs to post.
Right. So, too more people to post before we can act.
Agathemnos. A city-state upon the southern coast of Ikarios, it stands as one of the most powerful economic giants ever built. Lysterion, the reigning king of Agathemnos, has invited a many of the greatest heroes in the land to his annual banquet. This includes all of you. As you relax in a bath house before the event, you begin to hear the clamor of some sort of fight going on outside.
Sorry, guys. I got caught up in other things. Like the Voyager supplement for Pathfinder. That, and Napoleon Total War. There is a WW1 mod out for it now. Such greatness. It's very much a WIP, but so far it's great. I also got me an American Civil War mod for Empire Total War. As you can probably guess I am very busy. What I'm really doing:
Fighting Yankees, fighting Germans, making Steampunks, and ignoring my RPs. Bad Katrina. Very bad. Edgar and I are working on figuring out a way to advance a monster to CR 15 for this RP.
Uuuh... S*#%. Does somebody want to be Assistant Game Master? I need help setting things up. Email me at VinlandForever@yahoo.com
Lazy ass. ...That was aimed at myself.
What about a pissed off cyclops in the city market?Are talking about Cyclops that are eating people's heads off or Cyclops that are breaking buildings? BOTH. Coming out of the bath-house wasted is approved. What could be more badass than fighting cyclops in the town market while drunk? I just need some time to advance the cyclops stats for a level appropriate encounter.

Aw, s*++! Writer's block! Dammitdammitdammitdammitdammitdammitdammitdammitdammitdammitdammitdammitdam mitdammitdammitf%!+!
I have some IRL stuff to take care of. Campaign starts in the evening. Be prepared to jump straight into a combat encounter.
The spear maintains all it's stats, except that it is a one handed weapon. It still does 1d8 DMG, 20/x3 crit, and has a 20 ft range. This is due to spear and shield being a highly common tactic of the day.Telekleia, any objection to Ariston either regularly or occasionally using the spear two-handed since he doesn't carry a shield? No. You'd get 1 1/2 times str bonus as normal with no other effects.

There wasn't anything wrong with your character or background, I just liked the five I picked the best. I can't really say why. They just stuck with me the most.
Please dot with your alias. RP starts tomorrow afternoon.
Here is the Saviors of Ikarios discussion thread. The RP starts Tuesday afternoon. Please dot the gameplay thread with your alias.
I've chosen the following characters: Mentu Ariston Agathangelos Deiros Timandra A discussion thread will be up shortly, and the RP starts tomorrow afternoon. Any questions may be asked in the discussion thread.
It's cool. I've ditched more stuff than I can count because it couldn't come together in my head.
I like the "most infamous thief in Ikarios". Fits the idea of the campaign well.
That's okay.
Aasimar okay, no traits.
One question, do we take any traits? - or are you not using those at all? No traits.
Lions are fine. The Greeks knew of them. In fact, some Spartan tales I've read suggest that they were native to Ancient Greece. Plus, your character looks Egyptian to me, and they certainly had lions, too. Your backstory works fine.
@ Deiros I decided to allow Barbarians, but Summoners are still banned. I am willing to accept one foreign character into the party (all the cultures you listed have ties with Ikarios), but only one. This is a Greek campaign, and I want most of the party to be Greek. The Francisca, so far as I know, wasn't used until near the late Roman period, so it can't be found in this world, and the falcata is treated as a martial weapon that threatens a critical on a 20, not 19-20. No Leadership, as five is the maximum number of characters I want to deal with at the moment.
I forgot to ask if Reincarnated Druid archetype from Ultimate Magic was ok? I found historical references to the greek version of reincarnation that they called Metempsychosis and was a big part of the religion founded by Orpheus. Anyway I just wanted to check and thought it would be a fun concept. I am envisioning this character as a follower of a goddess similar to Artemis if there is one. That's fine. If you can think of a deity, it probably exists. As I said last post, this pantheon is massive, and pretty much everything has multiple deities associated with it.
This Pantheon differs from the original Greek pantheon is that it has literally hundreds of deities, who die and have children, and most domains have a whole bunch of associated deities. Simply put, if you want a personification of night, darkness, or shadow, there are many more than one. That's why I'm handling deities on a 1 on 1 basis. With hundreds, and with birth and death occurring, it just isn't feasible to make a list. The population is too large and ever changing. Just make up a name and description of the deity, and so long as it's realistic, it's fine.
I'll review character submissions tomorrow. There are five slots open. Those who want to apply have until noon tomorrow (American Mountain time) to do so. The paladin of an Athena-like goddess is an approved character concept. Divine Scion is fine. Flying Blade and Titan Mauler are fine. Those who want more information, please ask specific questions, and I will be sure to answer them.
Elves are allowed. What civilization are you studying, Markofbane? Minoans? Stone Age peoples?
One last question this is about ranger's favored enemy since this is bested in ancient Greece most of the enemies will the enemies be either magical beasts, monstrous humanoids or outsiders for the most part? Yes.
I was going to go with the desert nomad elf type character. I normally go with half-elf but with such a high point buy elf would work. I do not play mages just Tiny Coffee Golem loves his mages why I said that. As for celestial being common I thought celestial was from angels not gods though guess it is the closest to it. As if one god does not hit on some party member I will be sad. Celestial really does seem the best fit for the child of a deity. Greek myth being what it is, I think Destiny would also be common, and so would Fey. Come to think of it, they'd all be common. Greek myth loves it human-not human pairings quite a bit. Desert nomad elf is fine.
That would work. By the way, I'm not using the language system. Pretty much everyone speaks Ikarian.
What info would you like, specifically?
There goes the mage application, Hey Tiny Coffee Golem. Alright I am thinking of an Egyptian or Persian style ranger that uses Khopesh. Does that fit with the setting? Immigration does happen, and Ikarios does have ties with the other countries, so yes, you can be Persian or Egyptian. However, I would appreciate it if you were the only foreigner in the party. This is a Greek inspired campaign, after all, and while I'm willing to have a foreigner in the party, I do not want a whole party of them. Rangers do fit into the Ikarian lifestyle. The gods take a very active role in the affairs of leaders, and the common folk make worship a major part of their lives. The gods have a huge part in everyday life in this campaign, though the average commoner will not see direct intervention. That's reserved for heroes and rulers. Cultural belief is strong throughout the whole of Ikarios and throughout the whole world (though non-Ikarians have their own pantheons). If you want to be a mage, you can. Wizards, Sorcerers, and Witches are allowed, and Sorcerers are actually somewhat common, especially the Celestial bloodline (If you've read lots of Greek myth, you know why Celestial bloodlines would be common).
Yes, still recruiting. As for regular swords, the Xiphos comes in short and longsword versions. Spears are used heavily, as are bows. EDIT: The longsword version of a Xiphos would be called a shortsword by a medieval Pathfinder character, and the short sword version is only slightly shorter than the longsword. Both can do slashing or piercing damage.
Kopis The middle one is what I am talking about. I went and looked up Greek weapons since the only thing I knew they had were the short swords, spears and shields. As for Heracles he got mad and got stronger that sounds like a barbarian to me though he might of had some fighter stuff to him as well hard to fit people into class system exactly.Say I want to use a Kopis since you got rid of exotics what would the stats on it be? It is most similar to the Iberian falcata.Khopesh? 20/x2 crit, trip, slashing damage 1d8, weight and cost as APG, one handed martial weapon. Though normally exotic, I'll allow it as a martial weapon because the Greeks almost certainly knew of it. I think I'll treat the Kopis like a short sword Kopesh. Weight and cost as shortsword, 1d6 slashing damage, all other stats as Kopesh.
