Salt & Blood - A Skulls & Shackles Campaign

Game Master GM Tallgrass

I'm in love with the Scarred Witch Doctor archetype from the ARG. If someone wanted to play as that, I'd be fine with allowing a half-orc character to take the archetype or if someone wanted to use the "adopted" trait (and had an interesting backstory), I'm good with almost any race taking it. Just a thought.

There is a lot of menial task-management that goes along with GM'ing this game. I may look to my players to help carry the burden a bit. It won't be bad, but just be prepared to "player-GM" some descriptions. I'll obviously explain more along these lines once the game gets rolling.

I was on the Paizo boards this summer running a couple of games and had to shut them all down because life got hectic. I'm sharing this in the interest of full disclosure, not as a warning for this game. I won't be taking on three GM'ing tasks this time and kid-related drama should be non-existent.

Ten years ago, the bowmen of Duwwor brought down a bird of unimaginable size that had been preying on the herds of sheep and goats in the low valleys of the Barrier Wall. When laid out on the ground, the creatures wings stretched thirty paces, and during the battle, it had swooped down to carry off a horse and rider in each of its mighty talons. The townspeople thought themselves rid of a terrible curse laid on them from the Mwangi tribesmen beyond the mountains.
A young boy named Hakim, though, saw the bird for what it was, an animal, albeit one of monstrous proportions. That same day, he set off into the mountains. He had some knowledge of birds, and it was his belief that the creature had left a nest somewhere. For seven days he climbed higher and higher, surviving on wild plants and trickles of snowmelt from the peaks high above, and then he found the nest, on a ledge so high above that the town of Duwwor seemed no bigger than a tiny speck in the desert below. He even believed he could see as far as the distant ocean, though it was hundreds of miles away.

Upon reaching the nest, though, his perseverance was rewarded, for he found four eggs, each one half as tall as he was, and a great pile of rotting carcasses that had been brought to feed the roclings when they hatched. He waited, and the morning after he arrived, one of the eggs began to shake, and then to crack. With the carcass of a goat in hand, he approached as the bird broke free from the shell, stretched its wings and screamed. He screamed back, and the bird turned. He threw the goat, and the bird ate, ripping it apart furiously. As it ate, Hakim walked towards it, hiding his fear at the creature's strength. When he pet it, it rubbed against him affectionately, almost knocking him over. Hakim named the bird Shazam, and managed to carry it on his back down out of the mountains.

He thought to bring it to the local chief for his mews, but the villagers were outraged at him for bringing what they saw as a demon into their midst, and he fled downriver on a raft with the bird. Perhaps there was some truth to their beliefs in the creature's supernatural origin, or maybe it was simply that the spirits that honor the birds and beasts wished to reward the boy for saving such a wondrous creature, but on his journey down the Uta river, he felt the first stirrings of magic.

Weeks later, on the coast, he met sailors who told him of the strange hermits that lived in wild places and manipulated the powers of the natural world, and called themselves druids. He took passage on a ship, hoping to find one of these men, and learn their secrets, but they remained elusive. As the years passed, he wandered, seeking a teacher, while at the same time both he and Shazam grew in strength, until one day they were set upon by pirates. Three of the men died, and he realized that he was no longer a boy seeking a teacher, but a man seeking a purpose.

His path since has brought him to the Shackles, as he searches for a place on a ship.

The horrible scars that cover the face and body of this wretched creature must be a source of pride, as they are prominently displayed as he only wears a leather loin-cloth to accompany the odd mask he wears and the huge curved blade he carries over his shoulder. His green skin is covered in a variety of scars of all types, with the only commonality being that they appear to be intentionally designed to create sigils and shapes upon his green-hued flesh. Oddly, a patch of skin in the center of his chest is devoid of scars, but instead has what appears to be a birthmark in the shape of a bestial skull and crossbones.

Ulgrast should have died thrice-over... That he lives makes him thrice-blessed by Besmara. First, as an infant, because his birth-mother had him cast out of the village as an infant - the shame of his conception too much for her to bear. A scout from his father's tribe found him and brought him back to be raised, saving him from that fate. His second death should have come when his father's tribe was destroyed in a clan war while he was a youth. That time, his birth-mark saved him as the shaman of the victorious tribe recognized the symbol of the Thunderer aspect of Besmara revered by seafaring orcs. This shaman took him as apprentice, obviously blessed by the Thunderer, and trained him as a mystic in her service. The third time he should have died was when this village was plundered by pirates while he was on a vision-quest. He returned to find his village in ruins, and the pirates just leaving. Again his birth-mark saved him, as the pirates would not slay one so marked by Besmara. Instead they took him slave, though he took well to the sailing life and eventually was taken as a full member of the crew.

Ulgrast again finds himself drifting, however, as they crew divided plunder and he was left in Port Peril to fend for himself. Thrice blessed by both his three fortunate escapes from death and also through Besmara's blessing, his magicks, and his stamina, Ulgrast now trusts in fortune and fate, wondering what Besmara has planned for him now.

Otto Otto von Kielson had served the sea witch for a long while. One of his ancestors came here from another world through the Eye of Abendego when it was formed and he was why the sea witch had recruited him. After learning as much as she could from him over a period of years she dropped him off in the city with a backpack full of his gear before leaving with her crew to try and travel back through the Eye to the world his his ancestor's origin. Now, in a port he is not very familiar with, he is left to find his way.

Note: The original Otto was an engineer in the German Imperial Navy (from Kiel) who was transported through in 1906 upon the formation of the Eye. However, he had been killed in an accident and buried at sea and both his body and gear were recovered by a (different) witch who reincarnated him...as a half-orc. Through a long line of sons, also named Otto (people saying that is Otto, son of Otto von kiel to Otto, Otto von Kiel's son to Otto Otto von Kielson) his ancestors have been sailing the Shackles with a bit of that same storm within them. Otto was born and had dreams of his father and through these dreams learned the necessary skills to be an alchemist and fashion firearms (the craft skill, not the gunsmithing feat, yet...)

Racial Traits
Shaman's Apprentice: Only the most stalwart survive the years of harsh treatment that an apprenticeship to an orc shaman entails. Half-orcs with this trait gain Endurance as a bonus feat. This racial trait replaces the intimidating trait.
Sacred Tattoo: Many half-orcs decorate themselves with tattoos, piercings, and ritual scarification, which they consider sacred markings. Half-orcs with this racial trait gain a +1 luck bonus on all saving throws. This racial trait replaces orc ferocity.
Skilled: Second- and third-generation half-orcs often favor their human heritage more than their orc heritage. Half-orcs with this trait gain 1 additional skill rank per level. This racial trait replaces darkvision.
City-Raised: Half-orcs with this trait know little of their orc ancestry and were raised among humans and other half-orcs in a large city. City-raised half-orcs are proficient with whips and longswords, and receive a +2 racial bonus on Knowledge (local) checks. This racial trait replaces weapon familiarity

Traits
1. (Campaign) Besmara's Blessing: You gain a +1 trait bonus on Perception and Profession (sailor) checks. In addition, once per week you can reroll a Profession (sailor) check and take the higher result (you must announce that you are using this ability before the results of the check are known).
2. (Regional, the Shackles) Hurricane Savvy: You are used to sailing in the terrible winds that roll out from the Eye of Abendego, and can apply the skills you’ve learned to any storm. You treat wind effects as one wind force category less than they actually are, both for any personal checks you must make and for any you make to captain or steer a ship.

Feats
1st level, Storm-Lashed: Benefit: You can ignore many of the effects of severe weather. In rainy conditions, your visibility is only reduced by one-quarter (not by half ) and you only take a –2 penalty on Perception checks. You are treated as if you were one size category larger for the purpose of wind effects, and halve any penalty to Perception caused by high winds. Finally, you gain a +2 bonus on all saving throws against electrical effects.
Shaman's Apprentice, Endurance: Benefit: You gain a +4 bonus on the following checks and saves: Swim checks made to resist nonlethal damage from exhaustion; Constitution checks made to continue running; Constitution checks made to avoid nonlethal damage from a forced march; Constitution checks made to hold your breath; Constitution checks made to avoid nonlethal damage from starvation or thirst; Fortitude saves made to avoid nonlethal damage from hot or cold environments; and Fortitude saves made to resist damage from suffocation. You may sleep in light or medium armor without becoming fatigued.
Alchemist 1, Throw Anything: Benefit: You do not suffer any penalties for using an improvised ranged weapon. You receive a +1 circumstance bonus on attack rolls made with thrown splash weapons.
Alchemist (grenadier) 1, Martial Weapon Proficiency: Rapier

I can post at least once a day, generally more if things are happening. I'm a newbie to both Pathfinder and PbP, but eager to learn and I have experience playing AD&D (back when it was called "AD&D", which gives you an indication of how long ago that was). I'm not playing any other games at this time.

Fengar Orrmen was sold into slavery on the merchant galley Bessie's Breeze at a very young age. After several years as a cook's assistant and valet to the captain, the ship was taken and sunk by pirates. Fengar spent the next 9 years chained to an oar belowdecks on the pirate frigate Sea Dragon, where he gained immense strength, outlasting dozens of oarsmen who collapsed and died from the punishing heat and unrelenting exertion. (OOC: this explains the trait "Touched By The Sea" and starting feat "Endurance")

The captain of the Sea Dragon, who goes by the sea-name "Lord Kraken", recognized Fengar's potential and promoted him to boarding-party warrior, training him in the rudiments of weapons and battle tactics. (OOC: this explains the starting feats "Combat Expertise" and "Improved Disarm"). Beating the odds, Fengar survived many encounters, killing almost two dozen men in the service of Lord Kraken (OOC: it was during these battles that he gained the archetype "Free Hand Fighter"). Eventually they set into Port Peril, where Fengar was entrusted to attend the first mate to negotiate the purchase of various ship's supplies such as sailcloth, rope, lumber, and provisions.

While returning to the ship, Fengar and the first mate stumbled across the fresh corpse of a large half-orc in a dark alley, clearly the victim of violence. Fengar took his chance and killed the first mate, trading clothing with the half-orc corpse and mutilating both bodies enough to prevent positive identification.

The Sea Dragon left port the next day on schedule, with Lord Kraken seemingly apparently unaware of the deception. Fengar now spends his time as a mercenary, playing up his orcish heritage and playing down his intelligence. He knows that if Lord Kraken ever becomes aware of him, he will be flayed slowly, then forced to eat his own body extremities, then blinded, at which point the *real* torture will begin. He has seen it happen.

Lord Kraken will know Fengar by sight. He did not have a name on the Sea Dragon.

(OOC: any or all of these details can be modified if they don't fit with the existing canon.)

===SPECIAL ABILITIES===
Bonus Feats At 1st level, and at every even level thereafter, a fighter gains a bonus feat in addition to those gained from normal advancement (meaning that the fighter gains a feat at every level). These bonus feats must be selected from those listed as combat feats, sometimes also called "fighter bonus feats." Upon reaching 4th level, and every four levels thereafter (8th, 12th, and so on), a fighter can choose to learn a new bonus feat in place of a bonus feat he has already learned. In effect, the fighter loses the bonus feat in exchange for the new one. The old feat cannot be one that was used as a prerequisite for another feat, prestige class, or other ability. A fighter can only change one feat at any given level and must choose whether or not to swap the feat at the time he gains a new bonus feat for the level.
Darkvision (Ex) Range 60; Darkvision is the extraordinary ability to see with no light source at all, out to a range specified for the creature. Darkvision is black and white only (colors cannot be discerned). It does not allow characters to see anything that they could not see otherwise-invisible objects are still invisible, and illusions are still visible as what they seem to be. Likewise, darkvision subjects a creature to gaze attacks normally. The presence of light does not spoil darkvision.
Deceptive Strike (Ex) At 2nd level, a free hand fighter gains a +1 bonus to CMB and CMD on disarm checks and on Bluff checks to feint or create a diversion to hide. This bonus increases by +1 for every four levels after 2nd. This ability replaces bravery.
Intimidating (Ex) Half-orc receive a +2 racial bonus on Intimidate skill checks due to their fearsome nature.
Orc Blood (Ex) Half-orc count as both humans and orcs for any effect related to race.
Orc Ferocity (Ex) Once per day, when a half-orc is brought below 0 hit points, but not killed, he can fight on for one more round as if disabled. At the end of his next turn, unless brought to above 0 hit points, he immediately falls unconscious and begins dying.
Touched by the Sea You've always felt the call of the sea and your blood surges with the ebb and flow of the tides. Perhaps one of your parents was a sailor or pirate, or maybe one of your ancestors had a bit of aquatic elf or undine blood in them. Whatever the reason, you're as comfortable in the water as you are on land. You gain a +1 trait bonus on Swim checks and Swim is a class skill for you. In addition, penalties on attack rolls made underwater are lessened by 1. You came to Port Peril in search of your destiny, and after a few drinks at a tavern called the Formidably Maid, you went down to the docks to take in a view of the sea. The last thing you remember is a blow to the back of your head and the waves rushing up to meet you.
Veteran of Battle (Gorum) You have fought in several battles, and each time felt the presence of Gorum guiding your sword-arm, making you ready to act at a moment's notice. You gain a +1 trait bonus on Initiative checks, and if you are able to act during a surprise round, you may a draw a weapon (but not a potion or magic item) as a free action during that round.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency A fighter is proficient with all simple and martial weapons and with all armor (heavy, medium, and light) and shields (including tower shields). (OOC: I will consider Fengar to be proficient only with standard shipboard simple and martial weapons, such as club, boarding axe, dagger, cutlass, bow, crossbow, and polearms, no shields, and light armor only.)
Weapon Familiarity (Ex) Half-orcs are proficient with greataxes and falchions, and treat any weapon with the word "orc" in its name as a martial weapon. (OOC: this standard racial bonus does not fit with the backstory and will be ignored.)

I can post mutiple times per day, every day, unless something comes up in which ill notify you of..

I am currently psrticipating in 14 PbP's.. Most of which are a 1 post a day thing if that.. I post every day, but some do not etc.. Like 4 are PFS.. I would say 4-5 are actually pretty active, as in mutiple posts per day..

My backstory pretty much sums up why shes in Port Peril.. Born a pirate and always will be one.. She comes to land to for jobs and thats about it..

If you have anymore questions feel free to ask..

I plan on playing her as a flirty temptress who uses social skills well and isnt afraid to take it off to get what she wants.. Her being a very good looking elemental kin should only enhance others want to be there when said stuff is taken off.. Oh and dont piss her off or she'll fry yeah..

Tall and well built with long blond hair and blue eyes Ben Sandlock is an impressive figure of manhood, for a Halfling. At three feet and five inches tall Ben is tall for a halfling. He wears his long hair woven into a complex braid that reaches the middle of his back. There are three links of chain woven into the braid at the base of his skull. The chain links are part of the manacles that bound Ben to his oar when he was a slave, he wears them so he won't forget what it was like and how important freedom is. He wears blue dyed canvas trousers tucked into brown leather gaters. Under his short sleeved chain shirt he wears a linen shirt, and a leather vest over it. He has a red silk scarf wrapped around his waist and a wide leather belt over it. A rapier hangs at his left side and a dagger and his belt pouch hangs on his right. He has two more daggers concealed in wrist sheaths. He has another red silk scarf tied around his head.
Ben is like most free Halflings he loves good food and drink, and music and singing. He hates slavers passionately, and has difficulty passing up opportunities to harm them and their trade.

Ben was born a slave in Cheliax. when he was a teenager he was sold to a merchant who put him to work as a rower on one of his galleys. He was lucky in that the merchant who bought felt it was more cost effective to keep the slave oarsmen healthy and properly fed than to keep buying new slaves. Ben spent three years chained to his oar, before the merchant galley he was on fell prey to a Halfling crewed pirate. The leader of the pirates "Wee Jack" Hawksbury freed the Halfling oarsmen and took them to Halfling ruled Bag Island in the Shackles. On the voyage to Bag Island Ben joined "Wee Jack's" crew. "Wee Jack's" ship a Halfling built brig named The Free Breeze became Ben's home. He spent the last ten years sailing with "Wee Jack" Hawksbury. He started as a swab and worked his way up to be Jack's first mate. The last few voyages paid well and Jack told Ben that he wanted to add a new ship to the squadron and he wanted Ben to captain it. The Free Breeze put into Port Peril so Jack and Ben could meet with a Halfling shipwright there. Ben went to the Formidable Maid to set up a tab for the crew of The Free Breeze. He paid the Inn Keeper 100 gold for the crews drink and food, and decided to have a pint before heading back to the ship.
