The module is a wilderness adventure for 4th level. So go ahead and fix your charcters for the game or create new one!
The game takes place in the Mwangi Expance, your charcters have just become stranded in a town called Bloodcove, the last port of call on the Fever Sea. It is run by pirates and trade consortum's mainly, pretty much anything goes here. You all have already adventured together and were on the same ship that came to Bloodcove before you were stranded.

Go ahead and work on your characters and if you have any questions just ask here. We need at least one more person so I am going to post over in the gamer connection next.
Cheers

Hmmm, a Paladin in a Pirate Town, maybe I should make up a new character! =0

What Rulset are you gonna use Zoo? 3.5 or Pathfinder Alpha?

Liberty's Edge

Male Underpowered Warrior 1

If the campaign is in 3.5 or the new Pathfinder rules, I would like to play.
Who are the three players that already want to play (mentioned on the gamer connection forum)?
I'm thinking maybe a ranger or a druid, but I can easily fill any other role Zoo needs.
Are we going to be playing in Golarion or a homebrew world?

Liberty's Edge

Male. Forest gnome. Druid 4.

Here's the alias I'll be using. I'm still working on it and it will be finalized when I know if I will actually be playing.

Liberty's Edge

Since I have not had a chance yet to read the PFRPG rules yet we will use 3.5. Artemis, save your Paladin character for the next game at least, I will be running the Flight of the Red Raven very soon and your character concept I think would be perfect. For now have fun with what ever you feel like runnning for this game!
Welcome Gark, Work on your charcter so we can get this going! The other two hopefully will post soon! Artemis is one of them!


Male Elf Battle Sorcerer (4)

Hi guys. I'll level Orelan up to L4.

Orelan is a Battle Sorceror, so has combat like a cleric, and will have a few blasting type evocation spells.

Not quite ideal for wilderness play but should be plenty fun.

Zoom - how much gold do we have for equipment?


Female Human

Any spots left?


Female Human (Shoanti) Barbarian 2/Ranger 2

Triska will be joining the group, but I'm thinking of making her a ranger instead of barbarian (since she was already using the variant ranger abilities instead of rage, might as well go all the way).

Couple of questions:

  • I just finished reading River of Darkness. Is that a problem? If you'd prefer people having no knowledge of the adventure, I'd be happy to step aside for someone else.
  • How should we do hp?
  • How much starting gold and/or magic?

I dont have a problem with you having read it but if you want i will be running also the Flight of the Red Raven starting later this week after I finish reading it! Your choice! Just max the hp and gold, I'll have to think over the magic.

The group so far, things could change so sit tight everyone!
Artemis
Orelan
Larkspring
Triska

Liberty's Edge

Male. Forest gnome. Druid 4.

Max the hp? Do you mean the first HD like it says in the Player's Handbook or are all the HD maxed?
I have 4d8 HD, so would I have 32 hp plus the Constitution modifier?

32 would be correct plus your con modifier!

Ok I need everyones decisions on what you are doing with your characters! If you are playing please level up th 4th level for this game!

np, I'll keep Artemis for Flight of the Red Raven and make a new Character for this one. I "should" be done by the start of next week.

EDIT: How does a Celadrin Warlock sound? I already have the character made up (to 2nd level at least) from a PnP game. Celadrin do have a +1 LA, so she will technically only be Level 3. If this is cool I can have the character ready a lot sooner.

Otherwise I am thinking a Dual Sawtooth Sabre wielding Swashbuckler, but I'll have to make that one from scratch.


Female Human (Shoanti) Barbarian 2/Ranger 2

I'll keep Triska in River of Darkness. I'll be doing Barbarian 2/Ranger 2, should have her updated today or tomorrow.

Originally, I had replaced her rage ability with the hunter variant, giving her some ranger abilities. Now that I'm multi-classing ranger, how does the Berserker Strength rage variant from PHB II sound?

Liberty's Edge

Everything sounds great guys! I'll set up a thread in the pbp on Sat with the intro and we will be off and running.

So to recap, we have:

Barbarian/Ranger
Druid
Battle Sorceror
Warlock

Strengths: Plenty of combat, probably enough healing, plenty of blasting.

Weaknesses: No 'utility spells' (identify / knock / see invisible etc), no rogue skills, no dedicated 'face'.

Are we happy to go with this?

My Warlock has a high Charisma and is a Half-Elf/Half-Eladrin, so she can definately be the "face" of the party.

No Rogue might be a problem, but hopefully with a River adventure we won't have too much need for DD/OL.

One more question: by max gold, do you mean max 1st level gold, or are doing character wealth by level (5400 gp for 4th level)?

Excellent! I'll get Orelan all leveled up and equipped up tomorrow.


Female Celadrin Warlock 3

OK, so here is my character.

I'll write the stats up over the weekend and be ready to start next week.


Female Human (Shoanti) Barbarian 2/Ranger 2

Triska is updated to 4th - should be ready to go!

Male. Forest gnome. Druid 4.

Will my animal companion have maximum hp as well?

Liberty's Edge

Male. Forest gnome. Druid 4.

Done, except for equipment. I'll be ready by Monday.


Male Elf Battle Sorcerer (4)

Orelan is ready for adventure

Just noticed this thread, thought I should say something: It would appear that some people are missing backstories. Was this the intention of the game?

Zoom said that we have adventured together previously. I don't really know what the world is like, so I was holding off making a backstory.

Yeah I haven't had time to write up my stuff. I have it all on paper, so I'm good to go, I just have to get enough time to put it all in my profile.

Zoom, I'll be on holiday with no internet access starting tomorrow until Aug. 21. I'll also be going to GenCon UK from the 28th to the 31st, but I should be able to check in between the two. Please NPC Triska as needed. Thanks!

Hello all, I'm back. It'll take me a day or two to get caught up, but I'll get back into the swing of things ASAP. Zoom, let me know if there's anything else I need to know that happened while I was away. Also, I'll be gone again next week from 28-31 Aug at Gen Con UK, just to let you know.

Prepare to have loads of fun, not much sleep if any, and greasy food, but it is soooo worth it. They have some cool Rise of the Runelords dice set you might want to pick up and of course the Beta and Campaign setting must buys! I also bought and played Yetisburg, fun game! They were demoing it at Gen Con so you should check that out also!!

Have fun and let me know how it is and all, it would be kinda cool to go to it next year if I start saving now that is.....

Sovereign Court

Back from GenCon UK. May need a few days to catch up on all my game threads, but I'm here!

It was a lot of fun, but quite small, especially compared to a HUGE con like US GenCon. But I got to meet some of the Paizo guys, as well as Nic Logue and Richard Pett and Wayne Reynolds, and several of the British (and even some American) members of the boards. And I played 3 of the PFS scenarios, too. So all in all, a great time!

Just wanted to let you know that my internet at home is down (and has been down for the last few days), so that's why I'm not posting. Hopefully it will be back up by the beginning of the week... :(

Greetings!

I answered Zoomackula's call for heroes and I just wanted to introduce myself. I've gone ahead and read through the campaign thread and I can't wait to join. You guys/gals look like you're having fun and I look forward to hopping in.

Just so everyone knows I am going to play a human cloistered cleric of Irori, the god of knowledge. Hopefully he will be ready to go and up by Friday.

Excellent, I'll write you in as soon as you get your pc done! Give me your email so I can send you the map to use. You will be at the gate on the east side ready to enter the battle! Although the bear is way ahead of you lol!
