I'm checking in as well. I revised Hintal a bit so that he was more focused on urban adventure.

Friday the 20th seems like a long way off...

As per the thread instructions, here is Hintal's background, available for discussion if anyone is interested.

Hintal

Spoiler:
Any objection to spending the evening in Midtown with your friend Gerald? He's trying to convince you to like Dwarven Ale.

Well, here he is. Finishing touch and Background still missing.

I opted not to have max starting gold, because of my background.

One more thing: Don't worry, JollyRoger, I will not be bored, in fact I DMed ** spoiler omitted ** two times wich where toally different and I enjoyd both times! Actually I can't wait to experience it!!!

We still need to get hit points sorted out. You should have Max die roll + constitution bonus +1 for favored class (if not using skill point).

I'm not sure how to get you to Midtown "tonight". Can you just be there, by some weird coincidence?

Hintal will gladly spend a bit of time with his friend. Work has been difficult lately and his nostrils are beginning to smell sulfur where ever he goes. Time to get out, air out the nostrils, stretch those short legs, and enjoy some shop talk with Gerald.

I'll have to join in in the morning, got flu and need some sleep.

See you guys then

In a few minutes, I will start our game thread in the Play-by-Post section. The introduction will consist of two posts and will just get your feet wet in Midtown. Please start experiencing the atmosphere. The real action will start tomorrow night (real time), tonight (game time).

As for you Shar-Nym
** spoiler omitted **

Spoiler:
That's great, JR! I think Nym will try to come along just to save this woman or scream for someone at the right moment. Nym knows this just plain wrong and is determined to save that unknown woman. Whatever she'd done, she surely doesn't deserve to die!

I will also try to find out who contracted those two, with Diplomacy (+3 modifier), rolled a 10, for a total of 13.

In case the two Pale Dogs get away (with or without killing the woman) Nym needs to relocate his family (Mother and three sisters). Somehow - maybe the Bladechapel would be his first try...

Anything else you need from me before we start?

To all others: I haven't read any background of your pcs, because Nym doesn't know anyone of you presently. I rather try to find out during the game...hope that's fine with you all?!

Spoiler:
JR, do you want me to post right away with what I am doing, spoiler-wise or not? If I get it right, I am on my way with the two Pale Dogs to find and kill that woman...

Some more stuff:
Required minimum character background:
1. Location of birth - Ptolus (in the Warrens)
2. Location you currently consider “home” - (The Warrens)
3. Why you are in Ptolus - (well, to strike it rich, and get my family out of this rathole, called the Warrens!)
4. Names and brief descriptions for 2 close friends or family members - Father: Golion (deceased), Mother: Melinda, Sister: Melia (9), Sister: Rona (13), Sister: Keara (21), Friend: Toran (18) living in the Warrens as well, but working as a courier for a smith in the Guildsdistrict.

And sorry for being late, I thought we would go live on the 20th of february...well...life is fleeting! :)

I notice we have not heard from Hintal or Yarag for a while. Are they just the strong, silent types? Hanging back and observing? If so, that's OK, but I don't want anyone feeling left out. You guys are an important part of the story too.

The Exchange

Not much of a reason for Yarag to join in. The paladin and druid are handling it.

Its a slow start but I expect it will pick up.

Cheers

Gang, we seem to be minus an arcane caster. Not sure what has happened to Sleepy/Hintal, but we haven't heard from him in a while and so should probably consider him MIA.

Do you want me to recruit another player, or are you all happy with the group as is?


I think Real Life (tm) caught up to Sleepy, for a while anyways.

I'm up for either recruiting another arcane spellcaster, or waiting for Sleepy to return.

The Exchange

Changing ISP's over the next day or three. Hopefully it wont affect this game but if so feel free to look after the warrior.

Not fussed either way about Sleepy. But now's the time to recruit if we want to. While the story is new.

Guys, my Grandma died a couple of days ago, and I presently don't feel like posting too much on these boards - sorry for that!

Take care Dryder, best wishes to your family at this sad time.

Sorry to hear that, Dryder. Take your time.


JollyRoger, thanks for letting me join your game! This forum doesn't have a PM feature, so would you mind letting me know your e-mail to work out my character with you?

If you don't want to post it in the forums, can you send it to ptolus-game@nekocode.org?

I'm so sorry to hear that. Take time to grieve. You will be welcomed back with open arms when you are ready. If there is anything I can do to offer comfort or support, please let me know.

Thank you guys!
Jolly, if it helps, Nym might just need some time to further secret away his family, this way he's still there in Ptolus and can come back anytime... would make things easier for you!

I'm sure he has a lot on his mind. He'll have no trouble catching up later.

In other news, since starting, we've lost a few players. So I've done some receuiting. You'll be joined by some new friends for the next phase.

JollyRoger,

Another thanks here for letting me join your game. I'm working up a character tonight, and I'll get the info in probably by tomorrow night.

Question: I'm going with a sorcerer; would you let me swap out Profession for Perform as a class skill?

And Dryder, sorry to hear about your loss. I look forward to gaming with you when you return.

That sounds OK to me. In away, performance is a profession, at least for some lucky folk.


Thanks for letting me in! Just got done with a big presentation, and have to work tomorrow, but I'll have at least enough of a character by tomorrow night to get the ball rolling. Appreciate the patience and look forward to gaming with you guys.

Slainte!

JollyRoger,

I apologize for this right off the bat, but I'm gonna be a little late on getting that character posted. My wife got sick today, my daughter got really sick today, and the company I work for (a certain US automaker) filed for bankruptcy today. All in all, it's been a slightly crappy day and I just haven't been able to get to it. I promise I'll get it up in the next day or two.

(And before anyone asks, no, neither wife nor daughter have swine flu, thank God.)

Although I can at least run the base concept by you to see if it will mesh OK with the rest; that way, if it doesn't I can modify before writing everything up:

Spoiler:
Rynia Kath (of House Kath)
CG Human Female Sorcerer 1 (elemental water bloodline)
Basically, young daughter of House Kath; semi-spoiled pretty rich girl who was blessed with a beautiful singing voice (wonderful for a House that supports the arts). Also a big trouble-maker; sent off to boarding school in a nearby city after the Guard arrested her for the fourth time. Sorcerer abilities manifested themselves on 18th birthday; Rynia went AWOL from her school and came back to Ptolus with her parents unaware. Met up with the other new guys on the road, helped them take out some bandits, and stuck around them (for no other reason than they seemed like fun).

Still a bit immature and vain, but with a good heart; distaste for bloodshed (so she may not be overly fond of anyone who actually killed one of the bandits - but she will make exceptions if her own life is endangered).

Family doesn't know she's back, and she'd prefer to keep it that way, so she'll try to avoid the Noble's district.


My character is pending approval from JollyRoger (she okayed the custom race). I haven't put much thought into how she met the other characters. My story doesn't jive particularly well with Rynia's - maybe they know each other from the nightlife? I was thinking that she could know Brother Fabator because she did some small good deed involving his church.

Spoiler:
Miasshirra is a rare crossbreed between an elf and a catfolk, called a felf. These people look similar to elves, but have large cat-like ears and tails. She is a petite woman by elven standards, standing about 4'10". In human terms, she appears about 15 or 16 (although with elven heritage, appearances are always deceiving). She wears her thick golden-brown hair medium length, with a dozen small braids. Some of the braids have small items woven into them. Miasshirra usually wears a simple dress of a style similar to those worn by most commoners. She sometimes decorates herself with jewelry and baubles, though they change on a regular basis.

She moved to Ptolus about eighteen months ago from somewhere far to the east. Her accent is similar to that of some litorians. She is not a citizen of Ptolus or the Empire. During her time in Ptolus, she has had several jobs in various stores, but has managed to lose them all due to her bad temper. She's also been in trouble for shoplifting a few times, although she has never been to jail. Despite her lack of a steady job, she seems to earn enough money to survive. She can often be found dancing the night away at various taverns around the city. She has few friends - acquaintances, really - mostly halflings, gnomes and the like.

Miasshirra is a rogue, specializing in acrobatics and thieving. Recently, she has decided that she wants to get some of the treasures below the city for herself.

Had to work late and had a killer migraine. Got just a little done...stats pretty much.

Will finish the rest during the day and late afternoon tomorrow. Thanks for the patience!

Here is Cadwyn Tallis, or at least the ghost of the idea of him.


Welcome to all the new recruits!

Bryan, you should work for a bank, like me. Banks never have financial problems, right?

Right...?

(crickets chirping)


Male Human Fighter1

Welcome one and all.

Cheers


Male Human Fighter 1

Thanks for the kind welcome! Here is a mostly finished(crunch-wise) Cadwyn. I've got the Ptolus PDF downloaded, and will read it and finish up the background and particulars ASAP. I should have enough to jump in though. Soon as I get the OK I'll start posting!

JollyRoger,

Stats are up for you to review. My fleshed-out background will be in later tonight or tomorrow.

JollyRoger - Background is in. Rynia is ready to go if everything checks out OK. Just let me know when to jump in.

** spoiler omitted **

She's all good.

Spoiler:
I assume her CN alignment reflects the fact that she's a free spirit and doesn't like to be tied down, as opposed to any bent on cruelty or complete nonchalance to the suffering of others. She'll be interesting. =)

Excellent. You may either wait in St. Gustav's chapel for the rest of the party to arrive, or you may notice all of the commotion around the fire and head there to see what's going on. Someone with your powers can probably help.

OK, so we have characters for Sully, Fanguad, and Bryan. We're still missing someone.


JollyRoger wrote:

** spoiler omitted **

Spoiler:
She's selfish and freedom loving. She wouldn't try to hurt people, but she wouldn't help them unless she benefited. However, she can see the benefit of getting on the good side of fellow adventurers who need a rogue, so delayed gratification might be her motivation at the start.

One question - are elves in this game 3.0 style or Golarion style? Main difference is just a couple inches of height for her.

I am away on holiday Friday 8th until Tuesday 19th and my guess is that my posting will only be effected for the last four days, please npc Yarag for then.

I'll have a backstory for Cadwyn very soon. Been laid out with the flu pretty bad for the last several days. Thanks for the patience. Just think disowned noble and you'll have the gist of it.

I hope that's just good, ol' human flu you have there...

Oink!


I'm back and better now. Yeah as far as the doctor said, I don't have and didn't have H1-N1. PHEW!

Cad's backstory is FINALLY up and ready for DM perusal. Feel free to let me know if anything doesn't fit and I'll clear it up. Thanks all for the patience, and now I'm ready to game on.

Guys, just a heads up; I'm heading to FL Friday to drive my family back to Michigan. Posting will be pretty sparse from Friday through Monday. Will try to check in once or twice, but if things get too bogged down on my end, feel free to DMPC me.


Hehe, we're a pretty schizophrenic group.

Zilroy/Cadwyn: Kick down the door with swords drawn!
Miasshirra: Wait! Let's see what's in there.
Miasshirra: Ok, goblins. Let's kill them all.
Zilroy/Cadwyn: No! Don't kill the innocent goblins.
