Updates have been made. I hope everyone in the United States is having a good Memorial Day weekend, which is what delayed the update.
ALFRED - APPROVED
Alright, that's all six of you approved. I will start the adventure shortly, expect it up within the end of the day.
As a heads-up, I will be moving on Thursday, and as such will be spending Wednesday and Thursday occupied. I will try to squeeze in some posts, though no guarantees. Apologies for the inconvenience.
T-T-T-T-TRIPLE COMBO!
The adventure has begun! Do introduce yourselves to one another.
Also, my profile will contain a list of all the information, people you meet, and a journal. (thanks to Zyren for giving me ideas on how to organise)
EDIT: I should have specified my intent with the "having met Garavel already" deal. I apologise. Alfred and Sihdrin, you mentioned earlier you may have known each other prior - may I play on this element to fix my own failure to communicate?

Sure! You's the DM! :)
Heh, I apologise for being overly cautious. I'm anxious. First AP and everything, I don't want to step on anybody's toes. Give it some time for me to get into my comfort zone.
I have to admit to mild frustration when I specify you've met Garavel and have been accepted to the caravan, and consequently only Hazem and Sihdrin took note of that part.
I feel blind. I looked to my backstory for meeting with Garavel, and it's my fault - editting my post.

I apologise, it's just a little frustrating. I'm also a little stressed. I appreciate that you're editing your post, though. Thank you.
I'm sorry for being clumsy here in the beginning.
Oh, don't fret it at all! As far as I can tell, you're doing a great job.
Sometimes we all make small blunders, and it was early enough I could edit my post (you do have an hour to do so, after all), so no problems were caused!
You're doing fine. Retconning the occasional post, especially introductions, is quite common.

Thanks to Sihdrin for playing along, I didn't have to retcon yours, which is good. Will advance the plot tomorrow - I don't feel well currently. My apologies.
Here is the spell that I want to have, custom, instead of Burning Disarm.
Freezing Disarm
School transmutation [cold]; Level cleric/oracle 1, druid 1, sorcerer/wizard 1
CASTING
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S
EFFECT
Range Short (25 f. + 5 f./2 levels)
Target Held metal item of one creature
Duration Instantaneous
Saving Throw Reflex negates
DESCRIPTION
This spell causes a metal object to instantly become freezing cold. A creature holding the item may attempt a Reflex save to drop it and take no damage (even if it is not their turn), otherwise the frigid metal deals 1d4 points of cold damage per caster level (maximum 5d4). Circumstances that prevent the creature from dropping the item (such as a locked gauntlet) mean the creature gets no saving throw. The cold does not harm the item, and it does not get cold enough or last long enough to freeze objects. The item warms up to its previous temperature almost instantly. If cast underwater, freezing disarm deals half damage and brings the surrounding water to arctic levels of cold.
Spell looks fine to me. Approved.
ignore this post, just messing with dice tag formats
I should have noticed this earlier - Alfred, you seem to have 1 point left over for your stats.
Your stats suggest:
STR 12 (2)
DEX 13 (3)
CON 10 (0)
INT 14 (5)
WIS 16 (10)
CHA 9 (-1)
Total spent: 19 out of 20.
Am I missing something?
No, I just did bad math. I'll bump charisma up one.
Math is my mortal enemy.. :(
Hazem, if you ever feel like I am interfering with you running your character, let me know, and I will stop. But so far, the story seems to support Alfred's fatherly attitude.

ermm.. not sure I know what you mean? I have no issues with the way Alf and Hazem are interacting..

If that ever changes, please let me know. I don't want to step on toes.
bah, you won't have to worry about stepping on toes with me. I play characters as they develop on the fly, and not necessarily along a pre-determined path. I find it is a lot more fun when you make stuff up as you go... You do/react how you think Alfred will react, I think that's all anyone can ask for..
I am moving tomorrow, and won't have internet until Friday. If I don't post on Friday, that means that my ISP failed to give me internet on time. If this happens, I won't be able to post as often as I would like (as I will have to visit somebody else to borrow their internet). I apologise in advance should this problem arise. I certainly hope it won't.
These things happen. Considering that, originally, your plan wasn't to even have the groups picked until this upcoming weekend I don't imagine this is a big issue for anyone.
hey guys.. Ruven's still medium, right? Hazem couldn't ride him, even if he wanted to..

Dont look at me I aint the animal lover haha :P
EDIT: Arg a friend just gifted me the Genius Guide to the Mystic Godlings PDF...and the VERY FIRST ABILITY I see that either type (adept or eldritch) can take is the ability to alter your spells energy type to another when cast, without any penalty! BAH
Sorry, I thought you were a halfling for some reason. I'll have to think of something else.
meh, it's all good.. I'm just trying to burn time until Patcher gets back, anyway so.. anyone have a magic carpet?! :P
Eh we are all getting to know eachother, and your failness with camels :P
>:( the camel is defective.
I'm back, and it made me smile to see all that RP! :D
Will be posting shortly.
With our DMs blessing, Marketus has gone under 1 more change.
He is now an Adept Godling. What this means for you all? NOTHING! He kept the blindness and create water so what you have seen of him thus far has not changed :D
But he is a little more....in theme....with what I wanted originally :D
Yantur, you don't seem to be posting much. Is it real life being a pain or something else?
Still hoping Yantur will post here.
This is a good time to gauge what you all think so far of the adventure.
So far so good.
Looking good thus far!
Almost an entire day without posts... What happened?
The weekend. It happens occasionally around here. I wouldn't stress it too much.

Just double-checking. Still not sure what pace the forums keeps.
Alright, so Khasud hasn't posted in ten days, and Hazem hasn't posted since Friday. This is not good.
I'd give Khasud until Friday, and Hazem another week after that. 2 weeks seems to be about right for booting. It gives people time to recover from real life at least long enough to get to a public computer and update their situation.
Sorry, I'm out of town on business, and internet is shoddy at best (my iphone is my best option, and it winks out every 5 min).

How long until you return?
wednesday night, it's a short trip.
Mistake on my part. To save time navigating Paizo's rather extensive website I had bookmarked this and the gaming thread. Unfortunately, the bookmark for this thread seems to have been pulling a cached version of the page and so I never saw anything past my post from June 1st. I had assumed that everyone had just stopped posting here and it was only a few hours ago that I noticed the error and saw the last 20 some posts. Sorry about that; it's fixed now.
I am sad that Khasud vanished. I will give him until I go to bed (around 5-6 hours) to get back here - otherwise I'm afraid I will have to boot him from the campaign.
In the unfortunate circumstance that he is removed, would you prefer to carry on as 5, or should I find a replacement?
If he is removed, I will merely retcon it so that he was never there to begin with rather than come up with some half-arsed excuse as of why he isn't there.
I just took a look at his profile and all aliases. He hasn't posted anywhere since his last post in our game thread.
As for group size, either way is fine with me. It sort of hurts to lose one of our two main melee types but I'm here to have fun and whatever the group consensus is is fine with me.
I'd probably stick with 5. It may take some adjustments on our part, but it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Hey Patcher
I looked at your two Legacy of Fire games and this looked to be like the one you wanted me for so here I am. I'm the recruit, though currently my profile is at level 2 but I'll quickly adjust it tomorrow morning and be ready to go.
Well, I already found a replacement, so say hello to Saarah.
I'll introduce Saarah in due time, she won't spontaneously appear where Khasud is. When you reach the main expedition, she will be there. So please wait with posting in the topic until you're meant to be introduced, Saarah.
I am sad to make this official, but Khasud is now no longer part of the Crown of Dawn Legacy of Fire group due to his two week absence without informing us as of why. I hope to hear from him, though, as I was quite happy to have him with us.
