Ok.. I'm back to your discussion thread for Korvosa.
Question 1# - I'd like to play my PFS character...
Asherick 'Ashe' Whiteplume = humna/male, Paladin 6 [IOMEDAE] / Bard 1
I know you said you had lost your internet connection for a time. If you want to see a detailed write up of him... he is posted here at the PF Site, just search for Asherick. Asherick was made using all the Organized Play rules for legal character creation... he is Quite formidable with the items he has purchaced.
Question 2# - If I Cannot play him {sad face... [but I would understand...Asherick is Quite tough!]} what level may I generate a character at?
Question 3# - You also mentioned a 'Scarred Lands' game after some consideration that interests me too... if you decide to do that instead of your Korvosa Game. I know characters would likely start out at 1st... but I'd ask if we might be indulged to play at 3rd. Characters are a little tougher and have some meat on them in skills and feats to make them interesting. What would be your character creation rules?
Ok seeing as I'm in both this and the Scarred Lands game I shall help. In Korvosa we are currently at lvl 1. In the Scarred Lands game we are starting at lvl 3.

Drat. Ok. So I'm not likely to get to play my PFS paladin at all {sigh!}...
So what are the character creation perameters? Starting Wealth?
I'll make up a character for both Games...
Korvosa - I still want to play my paladin...
Asherick 'Ashe' Whiteplume = human/male, Pal[IOMEDAE] 1
Scarred Lands - I'll just reuse an old character concept...
<SUNAMBER> Alaerin {Summerhawke} = Helf-Elf/male, Fig 2 / Wiz[Evoker] 1
* Restricted Schools = Illusion, Necromancy
LOL... what is Nightflier's usual Maturity Rating? G to X ?
What sourcebooks of D&D 3.5 are usable... if any, especially for the Scarred Lands game? I'd like to stick with Core Pathfinder Rules for the Korvosa Game. Some feats from the 3.5 system I'd like to have access to for the Scarred Lands... like Practiced Spellcaster, or Monkey Grip.
Also... was there EVER a printed map of the Scarred Lands? Or can we make up locations as needed? I have a community from which <SUNAMBER> came from that I'd like to ...add to the world.
Where do I post the characters for nightflier's review and approval?
Usually a solid "R"

hehe... then I'll avoid the Succubi disguised as 'Ladies of the Night'... :)
Been downloading a bunch of Scarred Lands material all day...
I think Alaerin will come from the Southern area of Darakeene, the area the current emperor is thinking about starting to cut down trees to rebuild his Warship Navy. There are elves in those woods. That will fit in well with Alaerin's history.
Oh..and nevermind about the map...I've found and downloaded one.

Sunphoenix, rules for Korvosa game are 28 point buy, Pathfinder rules only,, 1st level, max starting wealth. You can go and create your character. I tend to reward nicely crafted backstories with bonus feat. If you wish to play in Scarred Lands as well, post in appropriate thread, please.
Oh, and I am not familiar with Maturity Ratings, since we don't use them in Europe (as far as I know. Certainly not here in Serbia), so I can't help you with that.

Dude, go to my Midnight game and check out Ragnar or Duncan. I don't get bored that easily. :)
Working on this character...should have him done soon
Character completed ...and posted!
So... when do we play? :)
Do we need to do a poll to see who's still around?
As far as I know the only people who are actually gone are the alchemist and the summoner.. (Names escape me at the moment) I think.
Ok. As far as I can tell from THIS thread... this is the cast...
'The Great' Katallin Zelarivu - human/male, Fighter 1 (CG)
Asashandra Zilviu - human/female, Rogue[acrobat/scout] 1 (CG)
Golrian Sho'ray - human/male, Cleric [SHELYN] 1 (LN)
Zariah - human/female, Oracle [SARENRAE/ASMODEUS] 1 (N)
Shol'a'saul - elf[Forlorn]/female, Witch 1 (N)
Kythvanath - human/male, Vanguard 1 (CG)
Diabinthe XIII - human/female, Druid 1 (CN)
Asherick 'Ashe' Whiteplume - human/male, Paladin[IOMEDAE] 1 (LG)
... wow, look at all those 'chaotics'... paladin's got his work cut out for him eh? :) {Just kidding! LOVE all the character concepts!!!}
I have scanned over most of the posts of this thread and am some what familiar with whats been going on...
I notice that most of you have tried to integrate your character's backgrounds. I'm ...not really sure ...given 'Ashe's background that any of you would have had much association with him. so here's what I'm proposing...
'Ashe', is effectively an anomaly here in Korvosa... with SO much trafficing with Devils! As such he would indeed STAND OUT in the city. So, likely, what he is known for is championing the less fortunate people of the city. He has, likely, had several run-ins with the Order of Nail - 'The Hellknights' in their ULTRA-Strict pursuit of LAW over compassion. Ashe has with diplomacy, cunning, self-sacrifice, and unyielding courage tried to temper law with a healthy dose of Justice and Compassion. He is probably known city-wide as a 'guardian angel' in the streets of hell. Being someone who takes up the cause of the downtrodden and innocent who are victimized by the unyielding cruel law of the city. He constantly is helping the poor defending them from the depredations of the Nobility or the Cruel victimization by the Hellknights. Yet, he follows the letter of the law... which is, in truth, his greatest defense from the callous wickedness of those in power. He is Nobility, which is also a shield, of a sorts, as he has certain rights that cannot... at least not publicly, be denied or ignored. He is one of the VERY few nobles in the city that uses his position, rank and training to help the poor citizens get justice in a city run by the wicked-hearted. Korvosa is not an EVIL city but it is strongly influenced by the presence of evil forces. It is likely most expect 'Ashe' - the 'Champion of the Lost-Cuases' to someday turn up missing or make a mistake that will get him killed trying to defend and bring justice to those who plead for help. But it has not happened yet. 'Ashe' realizes he is VERY limited in what he can do and must step carefully and quickly to avoid making the wrong kind of enemies in the city that can and WILL have the power to have him ... eliminated out of hand. It is a razor's edge that the Justice-minded hero must walk. Many times, only his courage and devotion - his only comfort in his, seemingly, impossible task here in the Devil controlled Korvosa. Ashe would be known to the common-folk that he is a 'last hope' for them in desperate need. Indeed, the wicked forces of the city realize this as well and have tried to trap the young paladin in deadly schemes to have him ...neutralized. It has not happened yet... but many believe it cannot be long in coming... he's too noble and too ready to help for his own good!
Likely the other characters would know of 'Ashe - Champion of the Lost', as many of the city would know him, most with derision and some small few with respect. He is an OBVIOUS champion of the poor and downtrodden seen quite often in the Midland, North Point, and Old Korvosa... helping the needy and trying to inspire hope. He is, just as often, in the courtly affairs in The Heights - trying to get legal protection for the underprivileged and poor of the city. Everyday, he is known to go to South Shore and the Pantheon of Many to care for the shrine of IOMEDAE, first, and then pay respects to all the Good aligned shrines out of respect. Many of the common-folk seek him there to ask for his services and help in matters of justice or need. No task is too humble or petitioner too lowly for him to try to help... its just the way he is. He would be... 'famous', in some circles, and mostly scorned and subtly snubbed by the nobility of the city. But his noble birth still affords him the privilege to certain rights that those in power cannot deny him, without calling into question their OWN rights and privileges. So 'Ashe' is 'tolerated' as a nuisance that must be humored. Until he can be... tripped up sufficiently to be removed as a thorn. The church of ASMODEUS... actually is his most staunch supporter... :)
They want him to continue trying... and continue seeing how 'hopeless' his efforts are... why? There are none so precious to Hell as those who once served in the light - willingly turning their backs upon it to serve HELL! Ashe is a work in progress in their opinion. Hoping that he gains much skill and power before despair claims him... he would be a 'prize' win in their mindset. Plus, they do do not believe he can really change anything in the city... he IS only ONE young man. The Church of ASMODEUS is constantly trying to seduce or entice him into thinking... 'If "I" were in power and had enough force to ENFORCE my 'benevolent' changes upon the city... I could really do some permanent good!'... for they know... that train of thinking is how ALL Tyrants begin! They are trying to recruit the paladin not with force... but with seductive desire to... "do good".
See what you all think of that.. and how your characters might have indeed run across 'Ashe' doing some good deed or another...
Also.. are we really using Class Defense bonus? How does that work with my character? I DO wear heavy armor.
I'm now going to start reading up on the Return to Korvosa thread to get familiar with past events somewhat...
It just won't affect you I believe. Either you use armor bonus or class bonus. At least I think.
Also you may have known of Kyth's father since he was a well known Eldritch Knight. Though Kyth himself probably doesn't know you unless you can think of some reason that you may have trained at his father's school at some point. He has been out of the city for the last few years.
Well... Asherick's father was indeed a Knight in the Korvosan Guard, and Ashe has been trained as a knight from the age he could hold a sword so it is indeed possible he may have been familiar with the Swordmaster. But Ashe was only 13 when Kyth's father was murdered, Ashe's own father was KIA 5 years earlier.
Yep, got no clue who you are. :)
{Sigh...} It's cool... I need to read all the previous posts in the Return to Korvosa thread anyways.
I have not played through the 'Curse of the Crimson Throne' adventure path either.... is the sexy red-headed, evil Queen Ileosa Arabasti dead? What of King Eodred Arabasti? Or the REAL villains in the city...Lord Glorio Arkona and Toff Ornelos?
Ummm... you did not say if I get my bonus feat?
Kyth the alchemical material you are thinking of is Weapon Blanch, detailed on page 185 of the Advanced Player's guide. Game on.
I have completed reading the entirety of the "Return to Korvosa" thread...wow... you guys are in it deep! I think {as a player} I know where you are...sheesh... you're in for it! :)
I'm chomping at the bit to join in! :)
I'm actually really ...surprised at the situation in Korvosa and the premise of the group gathering... That is SOOO right up Asherick's ally!
I made him before reading any of the game thread... he will be a big help... though I perceive...being part of the 'Nobility' many in the group will not trust him.
As I have said before...I'm completely unfamliar with the CotCT adventure path...but from the sounds of it ... and Asherick's history... he was likely deeply involved with the events as he has lived in Korvosa all his life.
Night... if you wish to make use of that... a 'general' summary of the events in CofCT would be nice for me to be more informed of the events.
I eagerly await my into into the fray!
Sunphoenix72 I need to ask you something can you send me an email at havocxiii@yahoo.com please.

Guys, I've been trying to put this off as long as I could, but now I have no choice: The company I work for let go a half of it's people yesterday. I was not one of them, but this move means that my job got a lot harder. I'll have to work longer hours - even longer than I've been so far - and that means 12 hour work days, essentially. I'll most certainly not be able to run pbps, so I have decided to put all of my games, except Midnight, on pause. I really can't say at the moment how long the pause will last, but it seems that it will last for two months at least. I fully plan to return to this and other games I've been running or preparing.
I am truly sorry for inconveniencing you all. This economy has been a b@+~* so far and I really have to work more in order to keep my job. I really hate when RL interferes with my gaming, but there it is. I do hope that you understand and that you'll return to the game when I once again have the time to run it.
Thank you all.
