"Gnome, there's not a Dwarf worth his rocks that would pass up a free tankard," Rogar replied with a toothy grin. "And while I may not have the charm of a Aasimar Bard, I know how to accept hospitality when it's offered."
Magnus looks up from his cups like a bloodhound that's caught a fresh scent. "Dumu aban! Did the lass say she's buying?" he says, pulling up a stool and removing a helm thick enough to stop an axe, mopping his filthy brow before edging his way toward the table. "Count me in for this round, lass. This human swill... it ain't half bad. Better than wha' I'm used ta, at any rate."

"Heh, 'Free ale'! Now I know how to cast a summon dwarf spell." Aziza waves a barmaid over and orders the ale for Rogar and Magnus.
Seldon is battle-ready! I'd half changed his point buy without adjusting his numbers, his gear was still well out of date due to him seeing action and spending coin, and his spells were a mess. He now has the Good and Liberation domains, a full roster of spells prepared, and is carrying JUST enough that he might get by on the road while still travelling light. Also a lot of scrolls. You'd think Desna's holy text would come in a more portable form.
Magnus' tune-up is on its way tommorow, boss-man! I need some time to ponder what a dwarf would carry beyond "a weapon and as much bloody gold as he can carry". (and also some sleep and about three hours worth of reading for my education elective)
For those of you still IN:
If you could, drop me a post (or note) about 1) your plans for progression and 2) how you'll fill the role selected for you in the group and interplay with others.The list is down to 11 and I'll take 6 with (probably) this make up: 1 divine, 1 arcane, 2 melee, and 2 skills. I will also be looking for a diverse racial group (that's so not republican) so even if you're great, you may get dropped based on quotas.
I still haven't totally dropped the idea of duplicate games either. Will try to be back tomorrow for final cuts but may be Monday given I am beholden to the mother of my children in oh-so-special ways tomorrow.
Now is the time for back-stabbing, bribery, flattery or any other devious device to get ahead of your peers. Like Game of Thrones, you win or you die.
Let the games begin!
DM DocEvil,
First, thanks for the vote of confidence, and for doing what you said you would do. 6 months ago I submitted to a Skulls and Shackles game where the DM claimed similar preference of core races and disdain for min maxed characters. I had a human waves oracle. Someone else submitted a Tiefling Rakshasa waves oracle that was so min maxed it made my teeth hurt. It was submitted late in the recuitment period and even used the same alias icon as me. And, of course, the DM chose that build. So, you are appreciated. :)
1) your plans for progression: Cadas will progress as a cleric. I have no plan to multi-class or branch into a prestige build. As a primary caster I really dislike giving up spell progression. Nothing like a module assuming your 5th level wizard has haste for the party and instead he took a level of fighter going for some prestige class.
Cadas is a neutral cleric of a nature god. She is tribal and comes from a line or shamen, druids, and wise women. As a neutral cleric worshiping a neutral deity I do plan to take the Versatile Channeler feat, but will keep positive energy my focus. Being able to also channel negative energy gives her some options to help with swarms and soften up a large group of enemies, or maybe reach out and touch enemies she cannot see.
She already has Extra Channel, and may take other channel focus type feats. She also plans to be melee capable, but not melee focused, with her 14 strength and ability to enlarge a few times a day as a swift action. She is not focused on mobility so will likely take Heavy armor proficiency down the road and have a decent armor class. This will allow her to stay in melee where she can reach her party member with her healing spells.
2) How you'll fill the role selected for you in the group and interplay with others: Cadas will be the party healer, but should also be able to help with melee and range damage with her strength and domain powers. With the ability to spontaneous convert her spells to healing and Extra Channel she is packing a lot of healing power. She will have one of the better part ACs with heavy armor (eventually) and shield and should be able to tank some, even though her melee damage will never be impressive. Her spells will be mostly buffs and utility spells.
Interplay with others should be interesting. As a Shoanti, think friendly American Indian who supports the people in the frontier fort, knowing that they are not leaving, but not really happy they are occupying her ancestral homelands. She is here to help against a common enemy, but can't quite wish the city people well.
At a party level she should have no issues, unless someone does not like here people - then watch out. She is no problem with other races but might have an issue with someone that does not respect nature. She sees herself as an outsider and so would not want to be the party face but would good supporting a bard or charismatic rogue in that role.

How does Cadas feel about a sorceress who channels the energies of the elements, specifically air (lightening/electricity), and is intrigued by the power of storms... yet does not worship Gozreh and seeks to extend her command over that particular elemental aspect of his realm?
I almost did make Aziza a worshiper of Gozreh originally, but given the background I gave her of having grown up among the wanderers and caravaneers of Varisa, the travel and fascination with exploring made Desna seem a better personal fit. She probably thinks of Gozreh as her number-two go-to deity because of her elemental bloodline, but I suspect a cleric of Gozreh may find the way Aziza thinks of that aspect of nature, as an energy to be controlled and channeled for the purposes of arcane magic, to be somewhat profane.
Just saying, any potential conflict there, or not?
By the way, on a personal note, I didn't think Aziza would make the first round of cuts for this campaign. Most of the other contenders seemed, to me at least, to be much less one-dimensional than her, many with very intriguing or creative builds, concepts or backgrounds. So great respect to those characters who are no longer here; I thought most of you were terrific.
Now the PBP newb here is going to keeping tweaking her build and concept until it feels worthy... :p
Barek looks at Rogar and cracks a few of his knuckles. "You talking to me, Dwarf?" He stands up to his full height and looks down at Rogar. You think it might come to blows for a second, before Barek just laughs. "Come on, if the gnome is buying, then we can all use a drink."
Ok, first I gotta say --"I LOVE you all". Given a little bit of assignment, and already RPing and drunk dwarves, with a few killer wasps thrown in (glad Aziza's not a Druid Swarm summoner). Nice!
Everyone responded before I even got to check the board again, so thanks for that.
I am doing my homework (in between foot rubs, calls to refill the champagne glass, and grilling steaks) by going over the technical details of your characters (is the build right, is the gear right etc)
A few points for you to ponder:
1) I don't mind expanding the pantheon of Feats, deeds, spells, etc to include any of the Ultimate books, I'm just not horribly familiar, so you'll need to link (and be patient if I flub it) when/if you pick them. That said, I think it makes sense that those items remain limited at lowest levels and expand as you develop. A side trip to Magnimar (a larger city) might have many items/trainers/religous figures not available in a burg like Sandpoint. Just think about it.
2)Cadas - I hope you'll find the trend that I mean what I say (and mostly say what I mean) to be true throughout our interaction. If ANYONE finds the opposite to be true, please call me on it, cuz I probably just forgot something (or was replaced with a pod person, cause that happens more often than you'd think...)
3)Aziza - being the only sorceror and the only gnome helped your chances, as did newbness to PbP. The archeology thing will be important in this AP, as you may soon find out. From your writing so far, I think I made the right decision.
4)After reading the opening of several ROTRL PbP threads, don't be surprised if mine starts very differntly (probably more slowly, i guess) than others. Developing the town, the relationships, and the RP is essential to the "feel" of the game, imo. If you get bored easily and need combat, maybe you want to get in a fistfight with Barek?
5) I am mulling over hooks to get everyone started into or around Sandpoint. Haven't exactly figured how you'll mesh as a party yet, but maybe that'll be a bit organic. If you have some compelling hook reason or starting place (besides the rail at the nearest tavern, fellas), please share.
6) The mother's day gift was free roundtrip airline tickets (using my frequent flier miles), a free convertible car rental (ditto 'ecept with car points), free hotel stays (same), and a weeks' solo driving trip through the desert mountains of New Mexico. Guess it worked, as I'm still in one piece. How did you do?
Oops, the silver bell is tinkling, so I gotta run. BBL.
She also has the Gift of Tongues alternative racial trait, giving her good Bluff, Diplomacy and Linguistics bonuses too, and speaks eight languages at first level.
...but she will be able to scribe both that and Magic Missile onto scrolls for additional backup.
Just FYI I've edited my build slightly.
I now have the Etymologist trait (replacing Excitable) in addition to Gift of Tounges, making Linguistics a class skill for her. Consequently she now has nine languages.
I've also swapped Scribe Scroll in favor of Elemental Focus (Electricity). Scribe Scroll will be taken at third level instead now.
These changes are pending DM DoctorEvil's scrutiny of course...
I wrote Barek's story so that he would be a temporary employee of Ameiko's during the festival. Depending on how you open the story (and Barek getting in) he can either have already been hired, not hired yet, or even have been rejected. He also could be working a job for Scarnetti too. And Barek will certainly entertain anyone who wants to have an arm wrestling or bloody knuckles contest!
GM: As Barek is planning a level of Monk in his future, how do you handle a multiclass like that? Does he have to seek out some trainer or know a monk? I thought of it as more of learning how to fight with something other than raw power for him, not necessarily going all eastern. But I thought I would check with you since it might require some explaining.
Sounds like a great Mother's day gift. I'm separated by hundreds of miles from both my mom and my wife, so emails, videos, and phone chats were all I could manage. But they both loved the videos, so I think it went well.

Cadas would consider you a sister. Maybe a misguided sister, but with your elemental focus, a sister no doubt, and she would be pleased that you revere any god and are not one of those arcanist atheists. . she is in town at least partially in order to observe the dedication of the Cathedral of 6 gods, so while a devote of Gozreh she is not totally monotheistic. With evidence of a complete pantheon I can imagine that would be actually quite rare and fanatical.
Cadas is in Sandpoint for two reasons. She is an emissary from her tribe sent to warn the town about ill omens read in the flight of birds and the entrails of sacrafices. The Shoanti believe we are on the eve of a great ill and Sandpoint needs to be warned, and helped if Cadas can lend her healing power and spells to thwart the common enemy. Second, as emissary of the Shoanti, it is only right that she come to the dedication of the new Cathedral. So she is there as eyes and ears of her tribe and brings a gift of nature to bless the Cathedral.

Seldon would be attending the consecration as a priest of Desna, probably taking a very active role in the proceedings. He'd also try to enjoy the festival to his fullest, taking part in competitions, the Swallowtail Release and
Magnus would sit in a corner and scowl, suddenly very unsure why he's here and keeping his purse strings drawn tight (the odd competition might get him out of his shell, though). Until there are goblins to rout out, the dwarf is on very unfamiliar territory, and his plan to sign on with one of the very merchant caravans attending to the festival will likely stop dead as he realises he has to TALK to the buggers. He'd probably seek out one of his kinsmen and reminisce about the festivals in the old country.
As for meeting up with the others, the goblins should take care of everything, no? :P
Looks like dwarven pride is running rampant. Tunder is on his home turf, so will probably not be quite as taciturn as the other dwarves. Since he is from Sandpoint, he could know and/or have connections with any of the NPCs.
. . she is in town at least partially in order to observe the dedication of the Cathedral of 6 gods, so while a devote of Gozreh she is not totally monotheistic. With evidence of a complete pantheon I can imagine that would be actually quite rare and fanatical.
Yep, atheism becomes quite problematic when you have actual evidence of the ascension of mortals to godhood via the starstone trial... and you'd have to be a fool or a true zealot to think your god was the only god around.
Aziza might be a devotee of Desna, but she'll happily pray to Gozreh, Cayden, Pharasma or any of the non-evil deities if the matter prompting her to clasp her hands together and seek divine intervention comes under their area of influence.
A bit lost with the talk of goblins and festivals. I've played Jade Regent so I know a bit about Sandpoint, but I couldn't find anything like what some folks are talking about in the Player's Guide-- either of 'em.
Smoke wants to show up, check out the town, talk to some of the local constabulary-- spend the night somewhere-- and then head off to parts unknown, perhaps another town, if his help isn't needed. If it is, he'll toss in with whoever asks, really. He's the kind of guy to walk around saying hi to everyone.
If there is a festival? He's in-- he's so in. If there's a competition somewhere? He'll throw down. If there's good food and people to talk to? Even better. Anyone around nearby who doesn't seem too enthused? He'd try to make sure they're having a good time. Introduces himself to everyone who asks.
And if there's goblins? Sounds like a good opportunity to play the hero.
I'm sure he'll find a reason to stick around.
"Shoanti, you're a craftless topsider, but I don't go calling you names."
"I... I'm sorry," Smoke stammered, shocked. How did Magnus read his mind? Why was Smoke thinking so plainly? It was obviously rude. He took on the demeanor of a kicked puppy as he nursed a tankard, far away from everyone else, where he belonged. Why was he such a jerk? Where had he gone wrong?!
Aziza is in Sandpoint for two reasons.
The first is the re-dedication ceremony and associated festival for the new cathedral; she's a follower of Desna, and pays respect to the other deities represented in the new cathedral, so being there is an act of worship. Also she's a gnome; anywhere there's a crowd or a festival there's likely to be some excitement to be had, not to mention entertainment, booze, candy and boys... in that order.
(Just FYI; I see her personal flow-chart of worship running in the order of Desna-Gozreh-Cayden Cailean-then all the other non-evil deities).
The second is her fascination with things ancient as an amateur archaeologist; the Old Light ruins are something she wants to look into for herself, especially if she learns of any dissenting viewpoints in the town of the decaying lighthouse's original purpose.
(Another FYI; I haven't played RotRL myself, but I used to game with folks who had played it, so I know some of the spoilers. I shan't be allowing that out-of-game knowledge to ruin my own or anyone else's enjoyment).
Doc Evil here again.
Didn't get nearly as far as I would've liked on pre-work today, including looking at builds, but did earn significant enough brownie points with the missus that she will (likely) not string me up if I decide to run 2 campaigns, instead of one.
If I do that, I can see splitting the existing group into 2 teams of 5 (means Twigs will have to make a choice, see my PM please). Could go back and find 6th members, but my preference is to just go with the 5 man (person) teams. The AP is really geared to 4-person party. It also gives flexibility to add someone later.
What say you? I have my teams in mind if we split, not if I have to cut.
I will be working on individiual post hooks to get you all into Sandpoint (some may be there already). I will try to PM them to you and lemme know if they need some tailoring, as they'll try to tie to what I know of your backstory where possible.
Perhaps kicking off the game in earnest tomorrow night? maybe Tuesday depending on how much I get done.
Tunder - I'm not terribly fond of the idea of ANY of the PC's having pre-concieved relationships with the NPC's or current Sandpoint. My thought on that is that you've been away for a while (over 5 years)in training and you are just now arriving back in town. Many things have changed in that time. Ok?
I think all about the Festival and goblins will be revealed as part of the game, so don't fret.
Sleep well, my friends, for tomorrow you die!

When Smoke next raises his tankard to take a sip, a smiling female gnome's face forms out of the foam on top of the ale, then crosses it's eyes and pokes it's tongue out at him. If he looks around, he spots Aziza grinning at him and a little voice in his ear says "Hey longshanks, don't take everything so seriously, I thought this was meant to be a party!"
(Prestidigitation and Message ftw).

"I've... I've had too much. I'm seeing things," he mutters.
Looking up and finding Aziza there, grinning like a cat, he laughs. Leaving his table, he approaches the electric-blue gnome and finds a seat across from her. "Was that you? Well, uh, must've been. I'm guessing that was magic-- pretty good. Never seen something like that before. Question: Is everyone around here talented that way or am I just in the wrong spot?"
And what was a longshanks?
Two parties? That means one will be a dwarf party. Ain't no party like a dwarf party cause a dwarf party don't stop. (Really. They have high Con scores and just keep on and on and on.)

No worries. I offered that as an option. Now that I think more on it, Tunder has probably been away for at least 10 if not 15 years learning his craft. Sandpoint would have changed much in the time he was away.

And what was a longshanks?
"Nah, that was nothing, most gnomes can do minor stuff like that." Aziza grins across the table at Smoke, "But I am a sorceress. Just not a very good one. Yet."
She pauses to take a bite of the gooey honey cake on the plate in front of her... then mumbles around the mouthful of crumbs, "As for 'talented', most of the folks in here seem mundane enough to me so far, but what do I know?"
"Oh, and a 'longshanks' is anyone who has legs taller than me, which is just about all of you humans." Aziza sips from her cup of wine, "Now don't look so surprised, I can't read minds, but I knew that you were wondering."
The diminutive little gnome laughs good-naturedly at the expression on Smoke's face...

It was certainly something to laugh at-- a perfect mix of 'not again!' and 'why me!' turned surprise. He laughs defeatedly at his situation. "I didn't know I was so obvious. Probably should stop taking the time to pen my thoughts on my forehead. Would make it a mite bit more difficult to read them."
He gawked for a moment at the size of her-- half his height and drinking wine. That was new. Assuming she could easily see his thoughts bubbling above his head, he says "And sorry-- just never met a gnome before. You're a gnome, right? Er, apologies if I offend you-- I don't mean nothin' by it. Just curiosity. Feel free to stare awkwardly and guess at my heritage if it'd please your sense of appropriate judgment." He took a long drink from his tankard. Tonight hadn't started out well and he was still struggling to find his feet. Nothing that a tankard of whatever's-on-tap couldn't handle.

"You're not real quick on picking things up, are you?," She arches one eyebrow and smirks to take any sting out of her words, "I said I was a gnome, all three feet of me, except possibly for these wind-catchers...", Aziza waggles her pointed ears at Smoke, "I think my ol' mum may have kissed an elf in the woods when my da wasn't looking."
The gnome woman cocks her head to one side and looks Smoke over once more - surely he's jesting when he asks if she is a gnome. But from the uncertain expression on the human's face, it seems likely that he's still trying to guess whether or not Aziza is serious.
"So anyway, I'm Aziza," she holds out a tiny hand to shake, "Or if you wanna be formal, Mistress Plumbockett, but no need to stand on ceremony around here." Aziza gestures at the two burly dwarves, Rogar and Magnus, quaffing ale at the other end of the table, "This pair are busy drinking my purse dry already, so what's your poison, longshanks?"
As much as I want to keep jotting away, we have to leave something for the game, Aziza! :P
What say you? I have my teams in mind if we split, not if I have to cut.
I'm fine with two groups. I think I mesh more with some people than others. I know some people mesh more with others than they do with me. Putting everyone in two groups sounds like a solid plan, honestly. I think that makes it an even 5/5 split with Twigs with one character, correct?
As much as I want to keep jotting away, we have to leave something for the game, Aziza! :P
Yeah, true that; sorry, just getting a little overly enthusiastic...
I am playing a gnome for a reason. :)
Two games sounds like fun. That means I won't get to play with half of our merrie posters but it also means everone gets to play!
If you can handle two groups, DoctorEvil, That sounds fine to me. I'm sure it will not be double the work, but at least half again. I am in one game where the dm is running three groups, and in another where there are 4, but all in the same world! And two groups have just encountered each other. PVP has erupted - but it was planned so that is ok.
Smoke, would you be interested in intertwining our stories a little? Maybe we are from different tribes but know each other? Maybe from the same tribe? Maybe you were sent to watch out for me, or I for you? Heck, maybe you are my little brother. Thoughts?

Part of Smoke's character for me is the discovery of how it is to be Shoanti, how it is to be Varisian. He's a half-and-half mix of both races and as a result grew up in neither. I see him as barely inked up and a bit young, and I'd love to end up with him with a huge Shoanti tattoo, a Varisian mark on his back, having found who out who he is. That's where I'm taking rage powers like Spirit Totem for-- I'm more and more convinced that he's got some Skull Clan shaman lineage in him. (For those not deep in Pathfinder lit, that's the Skull Clan and they're keepers of the dead and undead hunters.)
(Bringing that up reminded me of the Totem Spirit feats. I was looking for something to replace Power Attack with since 2d6+10 is ridiculous at first level. There we go! Totem Spirit for Skoan-quah gives me +2 dmg on undead and +2 to heal and a perfect excuse for later rage powers. Now I feel less power-gamey.)
It might be interesting if I swapped my father and mother's race, though, making my father a Shoanti and my mother a Varisian. Maybe you're my step-sister? I think that would be an interesting direction to take that relationship-- we know of eachother, perhaps we met once, perhaps you hate me or I hate you depending on who gets more attention from dear ol' dad, and that gives us a conflict to hash out during gameplay.
But that's conjecture. We might be in two different parties!
I think that makes it an even 5/5 split with Twigs with one character, correct?
Ah~! I can only wish. Unfortunately there's an over representation of well-written dwarves and fighter-types. I'll be performing cleric duty for you fine folks, and I'm about to start burying myself in Desna lore. I've got a very good idea how he's going to play. I'm quietly crossing my fingers to be paired with my fellow 'STRAYAN.

SOON.
Over representation of dwarves. I'm sure that such a thing is impossible. Actually, I figure we're a few dwarves short.
Just ask Snow White, right Tunder, she actvitely poisoned herself rather than live another day with those rude little fellas.
Okay, will have the teams up in a few, just double checking a few things. Then will new thread and discussion lines.
By my recollection Snow White was poisoned by another woman who wanted to take her place. Everyone knows that dwarves do it better. They take their time and make sure it's done right.
"The more dwarves the merrier and the muskier," Rogar roars slamming his empty pint down on the table. "Tunder, by Torag, you smell like Droskar's piss. When's the last time you bathed in something other than Orc blood?"
I've just made some final corrections to Aziza's profile page following discussions with He-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed (aka. DM DoctorEvil); mostly I'd mis-configured Hero Lab when building the character, and I was one feat over quota due to my not de-selecting APG hero points, but still clicking on the 'Do not use hero points' option on the set-up screen. Confusing (to me at least). :p
So if the good... er... I mean evil Doc decides that he is running two games, I'm wondering what the split between the characters is going to end up being. Apart from the probably obvious fact that Tinuviel and I will be on different teams, we two being the surviving arcanists in the field.
See? I didn't really need those pesky radio-active mutant killer wasps after all...
You're not a bigot, Rogar; you simply haven't learned to recognize that not everyone else can possibly live up to Dwarven standards... or is that live down? Being a short-a** gnome myself makes that a confusing issue. Just about everyone is taller than me, except possibly some halflings.
Gah. I really shouldn't be trying to make posts at 03:00 hrs local time. Brain thinky-thing not working... damned insomnia.
Ok, sorry to keep you all waiting.
Here are the Group assignments.
Group A (please stay here but move to Discussion Thread, which should be open now):
Aziza - Arcane Mistress of Stinging Insects
Seldon - Divine
Mirela - Skills
Barek - Fist Fights
Tunder - Ale Swilling and General Bad Behavior
That leaves Group B:
Tinuviel - Arcane
Cadas - Divine
Robin - Jester
Smoke - Melee
Rogar - Shield Smasher
Group B's thread is called (strangely enough) DM DoctorEvil's ROTRL Group B. You can post directly to the discussion thread, which should be open for business.
PS: Thread's were not assigned in any particular order just 'cause your a B doesn;t mean I love you value you any less. No, I mean it. Just had to call it something...
Will try to finish sheet review and get openers to you tonight, but could be tomorrow night latest.
Thanks for a great recruitment process. A quick bow and wave to all that were not selected to go forward.
Aziza - Arcane Mistress of Stinging Insects
Dammit... now I have to reopen the selective breeding program to justify the honorific... Igor! No, you, new guy! Stop crying and go fetch me some more wasps!
Aziza, I hope you realize that you pretty much HAVE to memorize Summon Monster for some Waspy goodness now right?

Yeah; if I was witch I could have gone for Vomit Swarm; then at seventh level I could've spat wasps at people. :p
multiclass, my dear, you can always dream
... but GM’s rulings are FINAL (unless my wife walks in). If you want to get into a rules argument, go to the Message Boards…we’re here to have fun.
So just for future reference, what's your wife's email address, just so we can arrange to have her walk in on you during rules debates? Also, what does she prefer, bribe wise - Chocolate, booze or cash?
Not to be blunt but this isn't the first active game of mine you've haunted about. Just wait for a recruitment thread like the rest of us! We all worked hard on our submissions and fought for our spots. Its kind of not cool to necro old recruitment threads or post in their discussion ones.
The Doctor has a recruitment thread here that isnt three months old. check it out and throw your hat into the ring
