hi all, posting a few ideas for squad names.
Tempest Coven; Bounty Brood; Dead Sky; Victum Semper
also im on east coast time zone usa posting mostly in the afternoon late evening.
Dotting on our magicky brethren. Keep up the good fight spellslingers.
Also Victum Semper seems cool, as does Tempest Coven. My two cps.
Hello !
Just passin by and dotting. This is the char I probably run, the fluff will be finished soon and then I'll just have to find an picture =)
My vote goes to Bounty Brood or Vitum Semper (sounds like latin, dose it mean anything ?)
Sitting in the UTC +2 btw, but Im soon heading for summer break so lurking around the forum at strange times wont be a problem =)
Hello!
I'm not mad on any of the names, though Victum Semper has its charms! :p
I quite like the idea of being named after some spell component or really integral part of the Pathfinder spellcasting system, but Fistful of Guano isn't a cool name! There are a lot of ones where you use amber or something stuck in amber though, and as its a cool, esoteric seeming symbol I might suggest the name 'Amber Trapped'.
I'm in Ireland, so I use GMT! If its good enough for the queen, it will have to suffice. Hope I don't miss out when all the american folk come online and have banter.
My fluff and stats are in my profile!
Victum semper Latin loose translation is "Always to Victory" and can be in any order also ,such as semper victum, and still mean the same thing.
Also as a little character fluff trundle has a slight obsession with fire verging on pyromania, but without the gleefull insanity.
Cool. Nithya likes tea, and has a battered little iron teapot, he loves rituals and is especially used to treating women well. He's like to see himself as a protector regardless of the truth of the situation, its engrained into him from his years as a harem gaurd.
Dotting. Victum Semper sounds like a good name for a bunch of magic users.
Where shall we start? As much as I'd love to start somewhere exotic like Goka in Tian Xia, its not too likely.
How about Nex, or Qadira?
Tian Xia is still yet to be given a good rundown by the Paizo folk. Probably the best you'll get at the moment is pages 207-208 in the Inner Sea World Guide.
Though Tian will get some love during the upcoming Jade Regent AP - but that is still a fair way away.
i was wondering if i could get some links to some of the places you guys are looking to start at, im not familiar with this setting.
thnx :)
Fall in Squad 4! and welcome to Pentor Lionsmane Mercenary Campaign.
my 2 cps - Tempest Coven. It sounds more like the other squads names but ultimately its up to the actual squad members.
Caern Stern here (aka Guru). Keeping your fates in my eyes as the Lady of Graves decrees.
I actually like the reverse of Semper Victum or the Tempest Coven and as cool as it would be to start in Nex, Qadira is a cool land. I would love to see something in the Lands of the Linnorm Kings myself. However I'll go with the consensus :)
The pathfinder wiki is a good place to start. Just google pathfinder wiki, and you'll find it.
I'm happy wherever, but I like the idea of being in a high magic land, and in the inner sea, magic goes up as you go south.
Katapesh maybe?
also i am garundi now that i know what that is lol.
Might be an idea to change your avatar then, though I'm not sure how good the selection is. I found pretty much the only Vudrani one barring Sajan.

Will go and check the wiki out, I'm not terrible familiar with paizo's world. High magic however sounds about right for this squad, its either that or a teribly magic low region (were people would pay good money for spellcasting services).
Also - the books I used in char gen was core and the apg, and a trait from the guide to Qadira (to get Disable Device as a class skill). However, was planning on takeing the Eldritch Heritage feat on lvl 3 from Ultimate Magic - subjected to gm approval and my own survival that is =)
Prerequisites: Cha 13, Skill Focus with the class skill of bloodline selected for this feat (see below), character level 3rd.
Benefit: Select one sorcerer bloodline. You must have Skill focus in the class skill that bloodline grants to a sorcerer at 1st level (for example, Heal for the celestial bloodline). This bloodline cannot be a bloodline you already have. You gain the first-level bloodline power for the selected bloodline. For purposes of using that power, treat your sorcerer level as equal to your character level – 2, even if you have levels in sorcerer. You do not gain any of the other bloodline abilities.
I'm ok with that Tycho.
Ceragia here is a link to the Pathfinder Wiki.
Nice =) Now, if only the rest of the squad would arrive :D
ceragia begins to throw a campfire together and waits for the others on the list she was given to show.
survival
bah why didnt i read a book on this.
feeling a tad inept with the flint and steel in her pack.
Reporting in, I made a Monk instead of a magus.
i read up on those areas and liked the story of the arcane battles between Nex and Geb. the two together created a bit of a wasteland in the area. they also unleashed many a magical monster to destroy the other that still roam the area.
i vote nex, major city quantium.
pulls out the butchery knife (dagger) and begins to sharpen it up.
i wonder if any one brought some fresh meat?
I'm all for Nex too, makes the gunslinger make more sense.
I vote Tempest Coven for the name.
Quadira is fine by me.
The team name I can suggest a few:
Order of Zephyr
Knights of the Covenant
Blades of Shadow
Vagrant Alliance
Arcane Coalition
Sovereign Host
Knights of Dominus
Scarlet Brotherhood
Aether Squa
Crimson Swords
Crimson Swords is a nice name at least that's what I think.
Oh god a vow of silence monk... that'll be fun.
I'll vote for Nex and Tempest Coven
Nex and Tempest Coven work fine for me. I'm just writing the small backstory and I'll be ready for DM approval.

"mmm Do I smell the glorius scent of food?"
A pale man in red appears from the shadows and approaches the fire, sitting down on the opposite side from Ceragia.
"I presume that this is the meetingplace for the fourth squad? I am Tycho Harkonen, a pleasure to meet you"
Tycho gives Ceragia a courtly nod, and continues to gaze upon the food
Walking at a measured pace a vudrani man approaches, his careful steps leading him to the fires edge, whereupon he bows from the waist to the waiting there and announces 'Good evening, my friends, I an Nithya Hijara, I am here to serve the inneffable fourth squad. I hope that my talents can be of use to you.' The strange man then sits crosslegged and draws out an iron kettle and a tripod, standing the kettle over the fire. 'I will make tea, would anyone like some?'
"Ah I would never dream of refusing such an offer!"
Tycho leans over to greet the strange man, and also to get a closer look on his exotic appearance.
"And what would your talents be then, good sir? You dont look like the swordswinging type, mind my manners. Are you perhaps a disciple of the great art?"
standing and giving a nod to those that walk up.I would appreciate the tea thank you. my name is ceragia trundle nice to make all your aquaintances.
eyeballing the man named tycho.
allows Slink (pet familiar) out of his side satchel to get a good view of the crowd forming.
you all must be the squad ive been looking for
vote nex and tempest coven
Ceragia and Nithya is it then - its good to know the names of the people we are going bleed with.
Perhaps it would be usefull to know eachothers set of skills, so we can organize appropriately? I can start with confessing my interest in the great art, but I'll be the first to admit that I only know a few meager cantrips.
Tycho looks from Nithya to Ceragia and back agian, hopeing for them to reveal more about themselves then he did.
OOC: :) Tycho is more rogueishly built then a normal bard thanks to the sandman architype, just so you know (aka dont expect that many songs of inspire compitense). However at higher levels I expect he will be able to carry his weight with debuffs and direct magical application. For now he will mainly use his extensive skillset and mundane tricks
'Indeed, in my homeland we had many arts, as many paths down the great road as there were gods. Mine was of a very special manner though, I am a caller, a drawer of souls. I am a summoner my friend.'
i myself have been skilled in the wizarding arts heavily. id like to say that im a tested battle caster but not true. 5 years i have been under the aprentice of a evocation specialist and now i get a chance to cleanse something in destructive flame.
letting loose a slight chuckle with a gleam in her eye
i do hope, however, that there are a few heavies we can hide behind. this cloth tunic doesnt deflect bolts very well

Thoughts
Smiling, offers Jaqen a seat by the fire.Strong silent type i see.
Probably a lot of tales been seen with those eyes.
so does anyone know where the squad leads are?
'I am not aware. I am content to wait however.' Nithya says as he pours tea, offering an additional tin cup to Jaqen, he sits cross-legged and allows the mixture to cool before he starts to drink from it.
'We are soldiers yes? An ancient poem of my people tells that a soldier should hold nothing more sacred than his moments of rest.'
A man dressed chainmail with black clothing beneath and a flowing black cloak approaches the fire. He removes the spear and crossbow from his back and set them beside him as he takes a seat. A wooden spiral hangs from his neck and his pale face is partially obscured by a black mask over his nose and mouth.
"I assume this is the place where the squad is to gather?" he says in a tone conveying no emotion.
Noding at Ceragia and making a strange hand movement trying to tell her soemthing
"....."
Courteously taking the tea, I smell it and enjoys it in every sip he takes, trying to know what kind of tea it is.
Making his strange hand movements towards Nithya
Exellent tea Nithya ! And its even my favorite kind ... free
Tycho laughs at his own horrible joke and takes another sip of tea, sweeping his gaze his strange companions.
So then, a caller of souls, a fiery mage, a mime and only the prince knows what. What a merry bunch we make. Although, I must say I share Ceragias desire for a thick wall of steel to intercept any bolt bent on drawing my blood.
i think i have found my heavy.
Well met sir and what is your name.
with a friendly smile to stern she offers him some food
I dont suppose you are the comic relief we were expecting.
"I am called Caern Stern." He accepted the food from her and looked up with cold eyes as he did so, as if he was looking into her soul. After about a minute of holding her in his gaze, he replied. "I am most definitely not here for your comedic pleasure. I am here as my fate was dictated by The Lady of Graves."
