For cash, I believe you said + 100 gp. Is that added to randon starting gold?
Any sort of standard items we are expected to have? Uniforms for the militia or some sort of badges showing membership in the expedition?

2nd level starting gold is 1,000. im adding in the 100gp to reflect a characters need to purchase extra stuff because of the long distance traveling and lack of supplies found at end point. Think of oregon trail. That said, the extra 100gp should go to food items, but doesnt have to... its your call.
*evil DM laughter*

Right 1100gp for a horse, cart, two gards and as much cheap hootch as can fit around the still.
Can you tell I come from a millitary town?
Seriously though. How far from civilization is Brinewall? A week, a year? What is the climate like. Crazy hot, frozen solid, swamp?
Thanks
~Alfonso
brinewall is north of manigmar and sandpoint. its even further north of riddleport.
weather, from old reports, is warm days and cool/cold nights.
its 30 miles south of the border for "lands of linnmor kings"
Is your world's brinewall consistent with the short description found here? If so, are our characters aware of it?
Also, according to the inner sea map folio, it is found at the point where Bunyip Bay narrows into the steam river (just above Celwynvian on the CUP map found here). Same question here... is that true for the purposes of our campaign, and do our characters know that?
Checking in, So we actually get 1100g then? I took 1st (240g)+100g, lol. I may add some Items then.
I also need to add some equipment, as I also assumed you meant first level starting gold (and also assumed that I would be able to get foodstuffs, etc. on the way). I will update my profile accordingly.
Speaking of extra cash. Alfonso has a horse. Well more of a donkey (stats as pony). When he was leaving they said "Take anything in the stables, just go!" of course the only thing in the stables, as they well knew, was the donkey. So I took it.
Her name is Lucy. Can I keep her?
arbot: yes. the inspiration for this campaign comes from that brief description.
and to know about what happened there, make a knowledge local check. If your character is from chelax, its a DC 10, due to it being a common bard song "the lament of brinewall".
If you are from varisia, the DC is 15 because not many people care about the dealings of chelax.
Jacek: sounds good. i probably shouldve specifically stated how much gold everyone gets.
alfonso: no. lucy died after you left the city, forcing you to walk.
lukas: is that pipe going to be your characters trademark item?
Added appearence to profile. sorry taking so long.
We're having dinner with at my father-in-law's tonight, so may not finish today.
Site willl be down starting 6 am west coast time for something IT. May be down 18 or more hours.
Do you have a policy on purchasing partially charged wands?
Or self-scribed scrolls?
Also, if folks want to split the cost, there's multiple person tents in the APG. It also has a Campfire Bead for 720 gp. It can become a fire, them be stored as a bead until time to campfire again. It appears to be a permanent item.

I shall mourn her deeply and then sell her to a local knackers yard/Fine dining establishment.
Knowledge Local Apparently Alfonso has been spending some time in ale-houses. No real suprise there.
Pallo I love the idea of combining gear. Problem is none of us know each other. Now if the DM wants to allow group purchases and retcon them as "issued" gear. Then I will happly kick in most of a pony's worth of geld. I don't think the bead is reachable though unless all 7 of us kick in. 720/7=~103gp/person. Hmmm I might be able to swing that or a tad more. What say you all?
you can do the split cost thing if you all have the money in game. but not during character creation.
wands usually come fully charged with 50 charges. id say you can purchase wands with lesser charge by taking the full price, divide it by 50 to get how much a charge is worth. Minimum charges is 5.
self scribed scrolls cost half the listed value in the book. and for char creation, your character can only scribe 4 scrolls (my call, nothing in the book).
Thanks.
for local.
Guess Arbot knows a bit about the coming and going around the place, as a scout should!
lukas: is that pipe going to be your characters trademark item?
Definitely plan for it to be. now i just need to purchase a magical sack of endless tobbacco :D
Knowledge Local Check:

I guess all that hanging out in taverns was good for something...
Finally finished with gear.
Gads that's a pain.
Now I need to find a sturdy batman to carry it.
Got my first post in. Thanks for waiting.
DM: I've still got to finish buying and writing the background, but the combat oriented stuff is there. I should have a little time tomorrow to do it.

Sweet! Another person for my demonic fop to annoy!

Note Alfonso does not think for a moment he has actually been poisioned. The trick here is to make the mark think you've poisioned them and then dangle the "antidote" before them like a carrott before a mule. They are more than egar to help at that point so why go to the expense of actually poisioning them? There is no need and a penny saved etc... there is a nasty variant of this trick that Alfonso is a tad worried about. You put the poision in the antidote bottle.
After you have the info you want you give them the "antidote" and it's goodnight sweet prince. Still Albert the great over there should realize I'm more useful alive. Besides he can always kill me later, man does have an army after all."
alfonso: makes sense.
donata: glad to see you make it.
everyone: if you could, come up with a story goal. This adventure isnt from a campaign so if your character heard some old bard story of treasure lost in the hills around brinewall, then post it. i can work it into the overall adventure here....example: arbot wishes to hunt the elusive golden snipe, found in the most remote of wildernesses, and always watched over by a golden dragon. being able to capture one alive will make arbot the most famous ranger ever....
everyone: if you could, come up with a story goal.
He remembers a scene from his childhood. Somewhere below stairs taking tea with the in house torturer. In Alfonso’s position you got to know the torturers. It was amazing what they could not do for you. They had walnuts then too.
“It all went wrong after Brinewall.” Said the torturer. “It was like the heart just went out of the house.”
‘Yes,” agreed his wife. She was a respected professional poisoner. They were a happy couple. “business started going bad, and we started to play politics.”
‘You were born about that time, weren’t you Alfie?”
I nod. I must have been about eight years old.
In the field my head lolls and more dark red blood drips from my broken nose.
“Yup,” says the torturer passing me more walnuts, cracking them in his massive hands. “your grandfather and you mother came back from that trip right then.”
‘I was glad to see them at first, man needs to practice his calling or he gets rusty. The house had been shut up for weeks.” “But no, things were odd after that. Strange callers and that whole marriage fiasco. Pity about that.”
“Pity” agrees the poisoner. “More tea Alfie?”
Alfonse spits a mix of blood and mud out of his mouth.
<softly> My mother? At Brinewall?
Story goal:
|
Dagaard was assigned to this Mission as a test.
From The council of Thieves ap:The Order of the Godclaw views their enforcements of Law on the land as a Divine Crusade, they quest faar from their Citadel hoping to accomplish epic feats to inspire people to Lawfullness.
Currently Daggard is an Armiger amoung the Hellknights, a Lowly recruit. If he can perform some Epic feat, and survive the return trip, he will be accepted into the Order proper.
After quite a bit of thought (I usually pick drives like revenge or glory), I think I will take the obvious path for Jacek. My goal is to establish a trading post for my father as quickly as possible so I can return to Egorian in his good graces. I swore an oath that I would do so, and my honor thus demands that I follow through (despite it being a little more grown up than my past conduct).
DewnSame question The lovely Donata posted in the interest thread. How long is the journey and how long is it projected that we will be relying on stored rations?
Wildly inflated estimates will be available from the shops in Magimar as I expect the expidition is a bit of a local cause celeb. The commanders really should be providing this info. It is not in their interest to be murdered and eaten by starving colonists.
Just saying
In any case the extra 100g will buy 200 person/days of rats so we have an upper limit at least.
Sorry about late reply:
Arbot's main motivation is to find some excitement and recognition. His strongest ties are likely to his country. He wants to be heralded as a key player in establishing this outpost as a JOINT operation. He wants the Chelaxian forces to take brinewall only in so far that he needs them there to establish a Varisian contingent. If the two sides turn against each other, as he suspects they will, he wants to be known as the brave soldier who led the fight against the Chelaxian oppressors or the valiant leader who perished in the fight.
DM. (gotta love that your initials are DM)
A couple questions: How long is the sea voyage expected to be? What will be the availability of stores once we reach Brinewall?
Also, the smith thing is pretty important to my concept for Donata. I'd like to sink a portion of her cash into raw materials for future product. Also, does 55 gp for masterwork include an anvil? The furnace will have to be built on site. What's that likely to cost?
There is a partial answer to this on the main thread but Dear Leader is being coy about logistical details.
One could almost suspect something.
Sorry it was so late!

1) nice huh?
2) im considering these to be ingame questions, so i will answer accordingly in game
3) since being a smith requires lots of tools, ill say that there is a masterwork smithing tool kit available for 125gps. it confires the +2 circumstance bonus to craft checks. An anvil is an anvil. you can either buy one at 20gps, or you can craft your own when you get there.
To Daggard Just want to let you know the venom Alfonse is spewing is NOT directed at you. Heck it is barely directed at Daggard. Alfonse feels safe at the moment and is venting. That said I expect Daggard and Alfonse to have a bit of a rocky relationship until they've saved each others lives a few times. :7)
I am VERY glad there is such a strong lawful figure in the game. A perfect foil for Alfonse and I think the vehicle that will teach him that just law is possible. I doubt Alfonse will ever be lawful but Daggard can keep him from turning CE.

Its cool, I'm trying to Play him as a Very Logical Emotionless person, Much like the Devils they emulate. I'm not Sure how the DM would feel about any aggressive movement toward another PC, if something woudl warrent Dagaard to punish someone, So I'll not do anything Physical, perhaps just take it down in a log to trun over to a Superior or something, Or a just stern talking to, lol.
I see the Hellknights very much like a Paladin, Minus all the goodness.
Kinda Like Judge Dread.

Dread has his good side, see the stories with w-w-w-Walter, his housekeeper, and other snippits like when he marries the couple who stopped him on the street, but I pretty much agree. Alfonseo however has only had contact with the corrupt knights who serve Cheliax under contract so his view is rather biased.

Thanks. I didn't know about the anvil in the APG.
Guys! I really like all the interaction. Wish I could post more often to keep up. Guess a girl can't get a word i edgewise.
Well I always look forward to your posts.
... I'm not Sure how the DM would feel about any aggressive movement toward another PC, if something woudl warrent Dagaard to punish someone, So I'll not do anything Physical, perhaps just take it down in a log to trun over to a Superior or something, Or a just stern talking to, lol.
Its cool. I give enough rope for a person to hang themselves with when it comes to in party attacks. IF the circumstances warrant it, and I allow it (in that order), then a character can go ahead and swing away.
example: alfonso has been talking to dagaard about the hellknight order for the past 2 weeks, spending 8+ hours a day talking dogma and philosophy and making dagaard believe that alfonso is attempting to convert. dagaard then hears alfonso make a snide remark about the hellknight order, something along the lines of being lower in value to a snacks stomach, dagaard could feel hugely insulted and want to show this puny upstart what being devoted to a cause feels like, so dagaard walks up and smashes his morning star down onto forearm, hoping to break alfonso's arm and teach him a big lesson. this i would allow, because of the storyline being involved.
example2: arbot sees pallo as weak, especialy out in nature. pallo, while not complaining, still sticks out like a sore thumb, and this rubs arbot the wrong way. one day, while traversing a trail on a cliff, pallo slips and falls, but catches himself on a small ledge 15 feet below the trail. arbot, in his distaste for the guy, decides to ignore pallos pleas for help and walks away. when he returns to his group he says "pallo fell. there was nothing i could do." if pallo survives, arbot has alot of explaining to do this, i would allow
example3: jacek, on a clear day, comes up to lukas and does a coup de grace while lukas sleeps, for no apparent reason, well, bad things happen to jacek this i wouldnt allow. there is no reason for jacek to kill lukas. Not only would jacek character be killed, the person playing jacek wouldnt be allowed back in the group.
make sense?
I can see him making great use of the imtidate skill.
so, where do i find this new "imtidate" skill? is it in a different sourcebook by pathfinder? or are you asking to make a homebrew skill?
lol
