Zen Shu's page

And here I am, just an American having lived with English all his life... I'm a little embarrassed that I haven't learned another language yet, now that I've learned how you two learned English, haha.

Lucky you, you don't have for travel to learn one! if you ever want to, go with Spanish. And then you can walk all over the earth and be undestood.

Zen Shu smiles (well, to best honest humans can't recognize a Tengu smiling, but he smiles!) and push a sit in direction of Yuvonesom, quite happy to see that the man of science he's joining the table of the faithful.

He then says "Master Kaleel, it's an honor. I was caught trying to steal some precious relics of Abadar in a caravan leaving Gota for Absalom. I was offered a choice: prison or a life of service to Abadar. I was always fund of the teachings of the Master of the Law, trying to use them at my advantage. Today I use my curiosity and passion for the shining things and history with my faith to serve my god the best I can. Not as a Cleric, but as something close. And the Society gives me enough adventures for that. And keeps me away from my bad habits! I've always like your faith, and I'm considered an orthodox for a lot of my people, but I firmly believe that the society should give everyone the opportunity to shine. And Abadar is the society, and his word is law. So weh have to start here."

He then listens to Yuvonesom's answer, while looking at all his comrades enjoying the tavern. "Master of Locks, our expert in magic is quite the girl!" he whispers as he sees Seoni keeping up with the two Half-Orcs. He also tries to keep track of Maya's conversation, as he will probably join them afterwards.

Happy thanksgiving to our Americans friends!

Sry buzy night at work (I work half time as a watcher for highschool students at night) and we got a drug situation... -_- I'll not post before tomorow 12 AM CET.

Alright thanks all of you. You're right Tagir, and the Scandinavians are really good too. However, as a French, I can say we are terrible (at school) at linguage. I learn more in two Paizo PDF and one episode of Walking Dead than in two years of school.

Hey guys so far so good! I'm really digging the atmosphere, and PFS gives us a nice opportunity to cooperate with characters from all over Golarion, that's nice. You probably saw that I am not a native speaker, and even if I try my best some mistakes are going to be made. Don't hesitate to point them to me with a pm if you think that I'm ruinning the narrative!

Zen Shu seems to his group like a children lost in a candy store. He quickly falls behind the line, looking at each walls with strange noises of admiration: "Oh by the holy lock, the shield of Drumbar Redaxe... And that, that is probably the last finger of Daryl Three-Hands!!! This place is so..." as he goes on fascinated.

He nods to the housekeeper, and asks "By any chance, do you have any saké or Tien alcohol? Otherwise, a red wine will be fine for me, thank you very much for your hospitality."

After hearing the exclamation of the middle-aged man, he says to the group "Maybe it is time to split up in the tavern? I'm confident that our friend Tagir can handle the bar! We got a great opportunity to learn more about our organization. It'll be stupid to waste that. I'll be with this man if you need me... " pointing his claw at the old Pathfinder.

He thens approaches the man, making a reverent bow: "Greetings to you, devotee of the Dawnflower. My name is Zen Shu, and I am indeed a faithful servant of Abadar. It'll be my pleasure to share a sit with you and your stories."

GM I added Draconic as my known linguage because I just saw that my mastery of Tien was free because my chracter is from Tian Xia (Appendices concerning linguages in the PFS Guide) so I was one linguage short.

Zen Shu waits patienly for his companions to answer Maya's question, and seems favorable to the answers of Yuvonesom and Iddo. "This is good my friends, the will to be proactive, to realize your goals, is Abadar's way. It is the will of the people who make the Society thrives. In general, and for the Pathfinders. As for me Mayu, I am a curious Tengu, a former burglar, and a passionate historian, who would like a perfect world where each one of us can have an opportunity to do better, to be better."

Then, realizing the presence of the Venture-Captain, he asks him "Six of us for a delivery? Should we be prepared for trouble?"

Knowledge History: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

"It will be an honor to walk in the path of such great explorers like Eando Kline or Selmius Foster, as well as to visit the Wounded Wisp. We are going to an historical place my friends!" he adds.

Zen Shu waits quietly in the corner, looking for the last Pathfinders and a potential Dreng, while listening to the little menage of the humans. His eyes seem amused.

This is going to be fun. There is spirit in here, a good one I think. Let's hope we can keep it when we will be facing dangers.

Perfect spot for me!

A wet crow-like humanoid comes forward. His dark-blue feathers shining under the rain and the strange light of the street. Quickly you recognize a Tengu.

"Greetings fellow Pathfinders" he says with a cheerful voice, despite the weather. "It's an honor to be with you today, my name is Zen Shu" he adds while bowing his head in an Oriental salute. "I'm an expert at locks and history, as well as a loyal servitor to Abadar, may his blessing be upon you."

You can see that he's wearing an old belt marked with runes and with a golden key as brooch, and around his neck a small wooden chest with a silver lock.

Alright my inventory is done according to your advices.

For encumbrance, I would like you to keep track of it. I don't need to actually know your encumbrance, just to let me know if it has light, medium or heavy encumbrance, as that affects some game mechanics. (Honor system.) In most cases, though, it should just be determined by your armor. A common tactic I've seen, however, for those with lower strength and thus ending up in medium encumbrance despite light armor, is put their bulky equipment in their backpack and in the first round of combat, drop the backpack as a free action.

That "drop the backpack" isn't considered a little bit too crunchy? (Because it's a really nice trick I never thought of that!)

Hey hey, nice to see the party coming together. :)

Few quick questions. What's the general consensus on encumbrance? I imagine we wouldn't lug our bedrolls and such around with us all the time, but I thought I'd ask just in case it comes up.

On the more mundane side of things, can we hand wave things like sheets of paper and lantern oil or would it be better to keep track of supplies in case they run out? Running low on good old food and water can make the narrative on long trips more interesting, but it's also tedious at times. Would be cool to hear everyone's thoughts.

Side note, it's starting to get a little chilly out there... You all set for winter?

That's true I forget to write my encumbrance! I always got an hard time with English lbs and measure unities. I'll wait for GM kuey's decision. Does your character speaks Tian? It could be a good way to communicate privately if needs be.

You got the roleplay of Zen Shu on my profil if you want to learn more about him, but he's a lawful good team player with an open-mind so nothing to fear here from a religious point.

I am so hyped by this PFS thing. Incredible!

PS: Do we have to buy our outfit with our starting gold in PFS or not?

Seoni checking in! Seeing the abundance of martial prowess here and since the Occultist (Reliquarian) is somewhat divine-ish, I'm thinking some arcane support might be in order.

I'm much more like a Crossbow Rogue with really few protection spells for now!

Alright Zen Shu is done, and ready to go after GM kuey's confirmation. I can still tweak the character if it's needed for the adventure or the group! This if my first PbP as well as my first PFS, so do not hesitate to correct me or give me advice, I'll gladly take them!

.

Hi there! Zen Shu (Lornis) reporting for duty! My background and roleplay are coming tonight or tomorow but feel free to check the rules GM, I hope I did not do any mistakes but we never know! I will change whatever is needed. (I did not know for example if you had to buy your starting outfit or not).

For all of you people, I'm a Tengu Lawful Good Occultist (Reliquarian) of Abadar. I can for now fire with my crossbow (decently), speak a lot of languages, do some roguish work, and enhance you a little bit.
