Greetings everyone! My group is in the market for an additional party member. To round of the party I am specifically looking for an arcane caster.
Currently we have the following:
Barbarian - Half-orc (Male)
Cleric - Human (Female)
Rogue - Dwarf (Male)
Monk(ZA) - Human (Male)
I would like to get things rolling again quickly. I will leave recruitment open until 4/21. If we get some solid applicants before that I may make an early decision.
Please take a look at the Campaign Info for more details about how I run things and feel free to catch up on the current going ons in the Gameplay thread to build into your background/story. We are nearing the completion of book one. I would like to try to maintain at least a 1/day posting excluding weekends from players, but would love more posting if you can.
-Level 3
-2500 gp starting wealth
-Max health 1st level, Half+1 every level their after
-Classes from Core, APG, UM, and UC are acceptable -No ACG or OA Playtest
-Core races, Aasimer or Tiefling would be preferred. If you want to play something else I may allow it based on background. Monster races (goblin, kobold, etc) will be a hard sell
-NO third party publishing sources allowed
-All other Paizo products will be allowed
-Race traits, feats, magic items, and alternate class features from the ARG are allowed but you can not build your own custom race.
-2 traits, 1 of which is a campaign trait from RotRL . No drawbacks for extra traits.
-20 point buy with no stat above 18 or below 7 before racial adjustment at first level.
-Please include a background, personality and appearance block.
-Also please explain why you would be joining up with this group that are already unofficial heroes of the town and have the trust of a number of its citizens. More specifically, if you are already a level 3 adventurer why weren't you already helping out with things.
-Finally please provide what may have brought you to the Thistletop area where you may stumble upon the adventuring party if not already addressed in the requirement above.
I'm interested. Have to do some research into the AP. Is the group a friendly group socially? Or are is there little OOC banter?
Dot. Update coming soon.
@Mowque There isn't constant OOC discussion but they are a friendly lot when any discussion does arise.
@GM Dak:
Would an Ifrit Skald or Sorcerer be acceptable?
I have both (this ID is the Skald), but they'd need a wee bit of tweaking to third level and all that. The sorcerer would be with the Efreeti bloodline. They're both thematic, if nothing else.
I'd need to patch up the back stories for either, though.
I have a witch I would like to submit. I will post him tonight after I make him level 3.

Click for portrait
Soveliss stands at around 5'10" and is approximately 160lbs in weight. She would be indistinguishable from any other human as a tiefling were it not for her reddish-brown eyes and the very prominent horns protruding from her head. Soveliss might be a little too into ancient Thassilonian culture and her choice of dress often reflects that, choosing attire that is often dark in colors, yet flamboyant enough to signify personality.
Soveliss is a goal-driven woman. Knowledgable to a fault, she just assumes most people has no idea what she's talking about. This often rubs people the wrong way, making her come off as a little...b~*@#y. Despite that, she's a very well spoken woman and knows how to say the right things to get what she's after. Generally, she's not a cruel individual even if her fiendish heritage may attempt to motivate her otherwise. She simply understands that everyone has a certain potential and that we all interact with each other in efforts to achieve individual dreams.
Soveliss is completely obsessed with Thassilonian culture and hopes to reclaim much of the lost and forgotten techniques back to the forefront of Arcane magicks. She won't be shy in telling you that her favorite aspects of Thassilonian culture are the aspirations of knowledge and power...and sometimes lust and gluttony. Who doesn't enjoy the finer pleasures of life?
A recent arrival in Riddleport, Soveliss heard of the calamity that had recently befallen the town. She had come here on a personal expedition of research with the understanding that there might be some ancient Thassilonian ruins in the area worth studying. After digging a little deeper, she determined that Thistletop might be the best place to start looking. The bad news, rumor had it that it was inhabited by a goblin tribe.
So she hired a couple sellswords in town and proceeded to make her way to Thistletop. Her hired help didn't stay with her long, becoming rather irritated with the job as a whole. After dealing with a couple creatures out in the wilderness and patience with Soveliss running thin, they left her alone in the middle of the night as she slept. Infuriated, she's now foolishly decided to continue onward with her expedition no matter what.
I am submitting Edgerson for your review.

The Swallowtail festival, an entire day dedicated to the wonders of the season, and the glory of the cathedral in Sandpoint. It is a celebration not to be missed by the faithful of the region. Singing, dancing, food, games, and all other forms of merriment culminating in a wonderfully moving church service.
At least that is what Afli assumed happened. He set out for Sandpoint long before the festival, and here it is, nearly a week afterward, and still he has not found his way. Lost in a forest, staring at his map turning it this way and that way trying to make sense of it. “How did I get here” Afli thought, how indeed.
Afli has planned to leave his home village of Ravenmoore a full 2 week before the festival began. He knew it would take him about a week to get there, and he knew he was always late to everything he tried, so a full extra week of time would be plenty he thought. He thought wrong.
First, his neighbor grew ill, and with no other family to help him heal, and take care of the chores and things, Afli offered, using his magic to aid the man’s recovery. This took 2 days, then he spent an entire day searching for Sharp, his pet scorpion who had run off, and could not be found until Afli laid collected bugs as bait for his scorpion all over his front porch.
Finally ready to leave Afli consulted his map, and headed down the road, which was the wrong road, as the ink on his map had bled through to the other side of the parchment, and he was reading the back side. Two days were lost before a nice merchant got him sorted out, and even offered to trade maps with him so he would not get confused again, which seemed like a nice offer.
Unfortunately the merchant had wanted to trade because the map he had was bad, and Afli got so lost that on his 6th day of travel, he ended up back in Ravenmoore. Pretending he had forgotten something, which no one believed, he got a fresh map, and for the first time headed in the right direction.
Making good progress now, Afli decided he had enough time to spend a day exploring a local forest. Unfortunately while climbing a tree a group of goblins came marching through the forest, and setup camp right below him. He was afraid they would see him, and there were far too many goblins for him to fight, even with his magic.
A full three days he was stuck in that tree, dreading every time a goblin would stretch or lie down that they would spot him up there. Eventually the goblins must have raided a caravan carrying alcohol, because they all got drunk and were all asleep at once. He climbed down, and as he made for the road, he saw they still had some guards standing, watching for more caravans, so he had no choice, he had to wander off through the forest, in the dark. On his way he did trip over one goblin and woke him up, but quickly put him back down again.
And here we are now lost in a forest that he is sure is near Sandpoint, he sometimes thinks he can hear the Ocean, or maybe a river, so he can’t be far. Hopefully he doesn’t run into any more fo the goblin menace, or something worse.
Personality: Afli is a bit spacy, and while he prepares for things, he doesn’t always prepare for them the best. He’s the kind of guy who would have a big backyard BBQ, and cook ribs, and forget to buy napkins and paper towels. He is the kind of guy who would throw a backyard BBQ though. Friendly to people, though he doesn’t always know what to say, some sometimes it comes out a bit awkward.
Appearance: Afli is a fare skinned elf, with long brown hear that is always somehow disheveled, probably a byproduct of never having enough time. Slightly short even for an elf, but with a bit of meat on his bones, Afli isn’t what you would call intimidating, unless maybe you are a small child, or a mouse. However the rapier and bow he carries with him, along with his pet scorpion, means that most people tend to give him a little space.
Reason he would help: He has been gifted with magical powers, and though they make people think he is a bit odd, because the involve laughing, and having a pet scorpion, he will still help those people. Particularly he likes the town of Sandpoint, and their large cathedral, where among other gods Desna is worshiped. As an added bonus he has no love of goblins, particularly after his last encounter with them, or if he hears about what they did to Sandpoint.
Party role: Afli is mostly a debuff caster, with some damage thrown in, using evil eye for a lot of the debuff to lower AC, to hit, or saves and spells for damage. He keeps his rapier and bow around for when foes are out of spell range, or provoke an AoO, he can at least try to hit him. Also I know some GMs hate the Slumber hex, so I'll just tell you right now, unless it is much further down the line, I don't plan on taking it, and if you hate it, just let me know, and I defiantly won't take it.
Saamsuma the tiefling magus for consideration. He is newly arrived in Varisia, hence not being around for the beginning. He'd assist the party hoping to find knowledge of old crafting techniques to help his obsession with enchanted weapons. He is also fond of orcs and dwarves, as the majority he's met on the Material Plane lack the tiefling passion for plotting and lying which he has grown tired of.
I'd like to submit Alynthar the Unchained, the Chaotic Good Necromancer for your perusal. I will have him updated to level three by tomorrow.

Zandu returns and finds a seat in the corner of the inn. A barmaid takes his order for a decent ale. He produces a pipe from under his robe. Lights it and takes a few drags. The barmaid returns with Zandu's ale and floats a coin through the air to the barmaids hand (a generous tip for the ale). "Why thank you darling! What brings you to Sandpoint?" Zandu smiles, "I'm glad you asked little lady. Please..." Zandu waves his hand and the chair across from him pulls out from under the circular table. "... join me for a moment." He waits for her to get comfortable, then begins his account. "You see I may be a wizard, but I plan to share my knowledge. In the form of wonderous, and magical goods and services. In order to do this, I need to expand my spellbook and establish a store. Through some aquaintances in the big city, I learned of a growing need and possible opportunity to do that right here. I set out from Absolam to travel across land to get here."
Zandu takes a heft swig of his ale, "As fate would have it, the caravan I was traveling with was subject to a few... shall we say... sidetracks. These provided me with a little insight to the dangers and possible needs of various adventurers. It also afforded me the opportunity to fill several pages in my spellbook. Quite exciting to say the least." Zandu face loses it's excitement and he slowly raises his mug up in an apparent prayer saying remorsefully, "Alas, my dear, not all of my travelling companions arrived at their intended destinations. It would seem the rush of adventure, must sometimes be overcome with a sadness of loss." He brings his mug slowly to his lips and swallows an alcoholic tribute to fallen companions. "That pretty much brings me to my current position. I've heard word of some champions beginning to make an impact on the local area here. I thought that we may come to a mutually beneficial arrangement. Perhaps they might have use for a practitioner of the magical arts to aid them, and thus afford me the opportunity to expand my knowledge with the mysterious things they encounter. Thus giving me the tools to build a prosperous magic shop here. What do you think?" Zandu leans towards the barmaid, raises a brow, cracks a smile, and asks, "Would you know where I might find these young heroes? I would very much like to meet them?"
I'll be submitting an Ifrit Sorcerer of the Efreeti bloodline.
I have the number-crunching bits done. Barring errors in my maths.
Still putting together a back-story. Got the details for it, just need to make it more readable than point form. Should have that part flushed out in the next day or two.

Thanks everyone so far for the applications. Just a reminder that I'll be closing this recruitment tomorrow at which point I will review and get feedback from the existing party then make a decision.
Here's my completed submission for , an Ifrit Sorcerer, of the Efreeti bloodline. I've updated his profile. I hope I've got the maths right in the crunch part. Anyway, here is a summary of what makes him what he is and how an Ifrit like him ended up in Varisia:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nurûsh is an Ifrit sorcerer exiled from Rahadoum. After being abandoned in the port of Magnimar, he heard of trouble in Thistletop and sought glory there.
Nurûsh is an Ifrit sorcerer, originally from the island of Nuat in Rahadoum. He was forced to flee Rahadoum after an unfortunate altercation with the authorities.
He has no immediate family. His parents and sisters were all fully human and died many years ago, since he has a much longer lifespan as an Ifrit. Nobody, least of all Nurûsh, knows why he was born an Ifrit, since neither of his parents had come in contact with an Efreet.
His was born and raised in a poor family of potters in the small village of Tjepim. While young, Nurûsh proved quite adept at tending the fires in the family's kilns. Apart from being fascinated by fire, Nurûsh seemed to be an ordinary human youth. Until he reached puberty.
In his youth, he clearly looked more and more like an Ifrit. And his temperament became increasingly volatile and mercurial. Only his father, Aqer, his Mother, Tikar, and his sisters Nau and Niut, Nurûsh put up with him. He was otherwise ostracized by the locals of Tjepim. He usually lived outside the village in an isolated cave.
With no friends and family, Nurûsh took his meagre belongings and made his way to the port town of Botosani on the Rahadoum mainland. He still lived in isolation for the most part. Despite this, Nurûsh made a decent living helping local mages with fire magic. While far from rich, he certainly was living much better than he had in Tjepim.
Some time ago, things changed for the worse for Nurûsh. A zealous member of the local detachment of the Pure Legion decided Nurûsh must be some sort of priest because of his garish appearance. For several weeks, he harassed Nurûsh beyond all endurance. The only surprising thing was that it too Nurûsh so long to lose his temper. Nurûsh then badly burnt the young guard in the ensuing tussle, nearly killing him.
Nurûsh did not fancy his chances with Rahadoum justice and fled Botosani. He went South and ended up in Grog Cove, a small pirate port in the Sodden Lands. Despite an aversion to sea travel, he joined a smuggling crew bound for Magnimar.
His short temper did not endear him to his shipmates and they abandoned him in Magnimar. He then made a meagre living there as he had in Rahadoum. Hearing of trouble with Goblins in Thistletop, he has recently gone there, looking for glory and to prove that his fire magic is superior to goblin magic.
Like many Ifrit, Nurûsh is an impetuous hot head. He does, however, make a faithful and useful ally.
Nurûsh seeks glory. Mostly by proving how useful, and dangerous, his fire magics are.

@GM Dak & @Darpan Bala Manujyestha
You got me on the list! Thanks for that.
I just noticed a couple of typos and grammatical errors in the back story for Nurûsh. I've updated his profile to reflect that.
Thanks!

I had a running count of nine, so it looks like everything is in order. Lots of options here for the open spot.
Just getting feedback from our existing party before I send out a PM to the selected.
Fair enough. Looks like you've got a lot of interesting material to choose from.
good luck everyone
Good luck to you all, and may the GM find a decision in these great choices!
Actually, I'm gonna bow out of this one. I just made it into a few other campaigns, and I'm gonna let others try for this one.
I lost out to the better profile. =(
Have a great game. ^_^
Thanks all for the submissions. It was a tough call as there were some really great characters. I sent a PM out to our selection. To everyone else, may the dice gods smile upon you in your future PbP endeavors!
congrats to the selected, apparently it was not me. Thank you again for your consideration.
