Alrighty...here we go...Looks like we've got 5.

Once all the characters are ready, I'll make the first post in the PBP forum.

Looking forward to it. This is a busy weekend for me so I should have something for you early next week. One Paladin underway.


Starting...

Earthshaker OK?

I'm thinking of either going with the Earthshaker or Two-Weapon Fighting...

An Earth Breaker? Sure.

I'm working on a cleric of Shelyn, something gentle as a counterpoint to all the combaty we have lined up :)

Are you allowing Character Traits?


Female Half Elf Rogue 1 (Favored class rogue)

Ok, character is all made.


Greythorne was a bit lost, he's in Bastion!!

(Wrong thread...This is where Gambril lives...oops)

(one of the few times I've gotten threads mixed up...)

Yeah are we doing traits?

Saffron, I wrote you into my background.


What are you guys meaning by traits. The optional class abilities from the campaign setting?


My guess would be the traits that are in the Second Darkness players guide.


Traits, from the Adventure paths, and available from the website for free...


Looking pretty tasty (really should read more of the books I have :P). Sure, we'll try them out. We'll go with the suggested starting with 2 at character creation.


cool, I'll be able to flesh him out even better with a couple traits... =D

In my home game I use the point buy system with the advantage/flaw system from RPGNow, modified to my system. So the entire character creation progress is done with points, should be pretty interesting...so take flaws to get more points, take cool advantages, etc.


Female Half Elf Rogue 1 (Favored class rogue)

All right, added the two traits, so I believe I have everything all done.


Here is Torillan Ellandilas, Half-elf Fighter 1.

Very much a work in progress


So, looks like we've got

1/2 Elf Fighter Torrillan
Paladin (MythrilDragon)
Cleric of Shelyn (Kayos)
Human Rogue Gambril
1/2 Elf Rogue Saffron

No Arcane, but hey, I think we'll manage...or I hope we will...


I've got the nitty gritty for a half-orc Paladin done. I wont be able to get the backstory and personal detail done until next week.


I would say that we are ready to start then.

Yea or Nay everyone

I still have some details to add, but essentially he is a sword and shield fighter ready to go. I am still working on background.

Meep tis a busy easter weekend for me but I am working on my cleric!


Need to get equipment...


Whenever you're ready...

Game On!


So, since we're starting penniless, I would guess we need to spend all our starting cash...and here I thought I was going to make a spendthrift character...perhaps I have some coins left in my parents house?

We do start off with max start gold, so not entirely penniless.


Check the game thread Onyx, our characters are broke at the start, so better spend it all, or you'll have nothing...


You'd have whatever gold and equipment you bought. Maybe the gold is stashed under a floorboard at home or whatever.

The penniless part was the take from selling the darkwood. There's really nothing left to give back to the lumber consortium.


So, exactly what kind of debt are we going to be in from that little...uh...story element?

As in how much did we blow?

just a weird way to start the game...I mean we have a paladin in the group...how did we manage to be complete idiots? Especially knowing how kind and generous the lumber baron is...


It was all for flavor. Yes, I know there are paladins/rangers/etc., and the horse shouldn't have just died off like that; or assuming the characters would be foolish with the money they were entrusted with. I've already taken into account the party being late, and the results of it.

Building on the scant back story the mods supplied.

I think your going to find out that this is a very different type of paladin. Not your traditional knight in shiny armor, but a gruff half ord axe weilding brute with a holy purpose. He is Lawful and Good but the laws of the orc tribes are vastly different than human society. I hope to get a backstory posted up soon so everyone can see the interesting character that is developing in my head.

Easter over, one cleric done if you want to have a look over her

Looks good Cefrey


I won't be able to post very often until the end of the week (Sat/Sun). It looks like the majority wants to hole up in the cabin, so I'll respond to the inside of it tonight.

Hi guys, sorry I've been so quiet. I've been quite unwell and had a trip to the doctors and my husband has been really bad - he's injured his back and as such I'm helping him a lot and tend not to have the time to sit and work on a good post. Today is our wedding anniversary and we have a trip to the doctors planned to get the wound looked at whilst we await an appointment for him to have surgery. We are having dire luck this year!

I promise to get back to posting asap!

No worries! Health is more important. I just finished 5 days of 12 hour shifts in the ER, and I'm exhausted. So I may go a day or two without posting myself!

And Happy Anniversary!! Coming up on 18 years myself!

Just jump back in when you're ready. :)


Hope everything gets better Kayos. Happy anniversary to you.

We still going? Haven't seen a post to keep the story on the move in a while.


*bump*

Things petered out again...looks like I have too much RPing, and not enough action. It looks like I may have only 1 player left...not really enough to keep going. Looking for 3 more at the moment.

New characters would be residents of Falcon's Hollow...can work out backstories later.

Scarab Sages

G'day all,

I was told you're looking for new players for this PBP-what does the party look like now? I want to make a character that would fit but I also want to make something that excites me too!

I am pretty open to what I can play...just need a base to work from.

If I get the info, I'll try to make a character tonight or tomorrow morning. I have to read over what has already happened in the game so far...I haven't read the Darkmoon Vale stuff yet-so I don't know the adventure.

Hope to see you in game!

Liberty's Edge

I'm interested too, if you still need players.

What type of character can we create? Any alignment or race restrictions?

I'm creating a character using 20 points for abilities.

Okay, how's this... a Varisian Diviner... :)

I didn't see much in the book about the guard dog. While I wouldn't take it into dungeons or obviously dangerous places, what's the possibility of me having a little companion?

Never mind, I changed my mind about the guard dog. Maybe the released version will have rules about that.

Better late than never...how does this look?

Since the game thread is on the verge of dying, I'd say jump in and post (rp) to your heart's content... lol. It's the fastest way I know to get a thread active again.

Don't forget your racial hp. :)
