Lets get it started. Post up you characters and start talking.
This is my Zen Archer I'm about done with him, Megan if you would like to see any more info please let me know.
Megan, I posted this int he other thread, but just wanted to be sure that my background wasn't too entangled with the arena and Clegg Zincher. If I need to pull it back a bit, just let me know.
Once again,thanks for offering to run the game for us. Much appreciated.
DM's are that rare, Megan. As you can see, when someone offers to run a game, it is a real jailbreak to get in.
I left Waltor somewhat blank, in case you have a favored class/build/race you wanted to make him. And I figured the interaction with the arena owner might give you a hook or two down the road.
Here is my character again. I will make a Forum Alias with this name to help things be more clear. Thank you for choosing me for the game! Looking forward to it!

This will be my first play-by-post game here. How does it work regarding timing? Is there a set time that we all agree to post, or do we post as we check the board throughout the day?
We post whenever we can, deleon. Sometimes, if you are available, and the DM is around, you might post 6-7 or more times a day. Other times, you might just be able to get a post or two in per day. It's all about availability.

Excellent. Thank you Gerald.
Here is Kurth with avatar.
As for background he grew up as an orphan at the docks in Riddleport his father dead at sea and his mother disappeared. His fathers dead made him obssesed with the sea and without any father figure to look up to he started hanging with a group of pirates operating out of Riddleport. As he got more tightly knitted to the pirates he started working as an errand boy along with another orphan named [Friends name].
At the age of 13 he was allowed to come on small trips and raids, but not allowed to participate before he was 18 where he was made part of the crew along with [Friends name].
For the next 10 years they sailed the seas together visiting the most faraway reaches of Golarion. They came to trust each other more than anyone else. And so Kurth didn't ask any questions when [friends name] one night came to him all worked up and paranoid. He wanted Kurth to hold onto an item wrapped in a piece of cloth. And under no circumstances was he to look at the contents.
The next day the bossun called every man to deck where the captain waited them. It was clearly not a rutine meeting and the atmosphere was tense. The bossun told the crew how the captains valuable cloak pin had been stolen the night before and if no one stepped forward and took responsibility the guilty would be severely punished when found.
Shocking everyone, Kurth the most, [friends name] stepped forward and accused Kurth of the thievery. His cabin was searched and the piece of cloth [friends name] had given him contained the pin.
Kurth was marooned with a crossbow containing one bolt. Having grown up on the streets had taught Kurth to survive and look out for himself and by sheer luck or fate of destiny a ship passed by the island a week later.
Kurth spend the last 5 years tracking [friends name] to find him ahead of a gang in Riddleport. For all those years he has been saving the crossbow and the arrow meant to finish his own life waiting for an opportunity to turn it on [friends name].
-----------
[friends name] is typed like this so i can insert a name for an appropiate gang leader if you allow it Megan.
I went to the contest mainly for human interaction. Since I have arrived in Riddleport I have yet to make any strong friendships, only a few acquaintances. After growing up in the monastery where everyone knew each other, it is hard to be truly alone amongst all of these people. Maybe I can make a new friend, or at least get a job and belong to something again. Then again, making some more money would not hurt, everything cost gold here.
By the way, thanks again for running us through this Megan.
Bump for those following.
Looks like we are waiting for our good Cleric Beckett to post his character. Then Megan can look it all over and hopefully we can get started. Any questions so far we can talk about?
Koz, it doesn't look like we have any Disable Device skills in the party. Maybe a fighter type or the bard could do a level dip at 2, to get us someone trained in it?
I could take it now and have 6 to it (1 rank, 2 dex 3 skill focus), if we need it. Just couldn't take care of magic traps.
Maybe we could try that for the time being, and then when we get high enough level for magic traps, we might have more choices to deal with them by then.
And I see Kurth has Knowledge Local, so other than the Disable Device, we should be covered everywhere.
Ok, sounds like a plan. I will redo my skills a bit then re-post him.
Looks good Koz!
I will be out most of the morning, but I will get an early post on before heading out. If Beckett doesn't report by tomorrow, we need to grab us a divine type.
Ok, sounds good.
Bump it up.
Yes, I am very excited to play this AP. It's the first Pathfinder I bought (Players Guide to Riddleport). I don't get to play table top except a few times a year becuase of my job, so i really am looking forward to playing a PbP.
Koz, you wanna post an ad for a replacement healer in the classifieds?
Sure, I will put out the call in a few.
All, please take a look at the applicants, and let me know who you want. I will make a decision in a few hours.
OK, this is DeLeon. I updated Cavan's character sheet to include a Second Darkness feat, and I made a forum alias for the character. Basically Cavan is a bard who heard of the great Blot in the sky, and he has come to investigate with hopes of discovering some secret knowledge that will make him famous.

You made a good call, Koz. I think another dwarf will make the party every interesting!
Thank you for the invitation. I'll reset him back to level 1.
Looks like we have a full posse whenever Megan is ready to fire things up...

Looking forward to it.
Thanks Gerald.
Welcome aboard Eroril.
Let's bash some heads!
Eroril is now a level 1 dwarven cleric. He originally came to Riddleport to study the ancient Thassilonian artifacts in the area. You can click on his avatar to see his stats and backstory.
You know what, scratch the great Blot motivation. Cavan came to Riddleport hoping to study the ciphers. He is a mediocre scholar who has yet to produce anything worthwhile, so he has travelled to Riddleport with hopes of making a name for himself and earning prestige as a bard.
Sounds like Eroril and Cavan have a common goal already.
To answer your gambling question, I prefer to abstract that part and move on.
I am fine either way with the gambling, Megan. Whatever you prefer is a okay with me...
That's fine with me, Megan...Ironleg is looking forward to rousting some cheaters, if anyone in the Goblin are brave enough to try!!
Cavan is not going to gamble so it doesn't matter to me at all.
