Valoria
Those pursuing the old crone enter the building through the front door.
Valoria curses at the old woman as she suddenly feels exhausted. She stands to one side, speaking frankly, "Go ahead after that mage. I will catch up with you once the cursed weakness wheres off.", waving to them to carry on.
Zebulon appears focused on the walk to Three Sisters but his mind catalogs eyerything on the way. The usual, the unusual, and the missing.
As far as I know we are still on
AJ S Dad left the following message on the threead for his other game.
"OK GUYS. I AM AWAY ON VACATION NOW FOR TWO WEEKS. I WILL BE BACK ON TUESDAY 9TH AUGUST. PLASE FEEL FREE TO CONTINUE YOUR ROLEPLAYING AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, TILL I RETURN. LOOK FORWARD TO SPEAKING WITH YOU ALL THEN."
I think we got missed in the run up to a Florida vacation. I am sure the DM we be back in nearly August.
I thought the game had dies and was about to go look for another game to take part in.
Would have been nice to know about the vacation earlier.
Anyway I will be away on vacation for about 4 weeks starting with this coming Friday. Some of the days I be able to connect to the internet to be able to post, thus post timings are going to be unpredictable during this period.
(On holiday, back the 8th august.)
Hello guys. So sorry about forgetting to let you know about the vacation. Had loads to do, what with work etc and thought I had posted on this thread as well. Appologies. If anyone is still interested I will try and get going with this again asap. I'm still trying to keep the other game going as well so bear with me. Alternatively I am quite willing to 'port over pcs to the ROTRL game if you like?
It's really up to you as the DM.
Do you want to keep this going? I am enjoying it but if you are not then it is best that it dies a clean death.
I just arrived back from my vacation. I would like it to continue, though I have no problem with porting either.
For porting would need some information to alter characters, considering some of us developed integrated backgrounds.
I think I will call time on this adventure. Just dont seem to have the spare time to devote to it at the moment. But you are all welcome to port to Sandpoint as just arrive characters who may have come to town in responce to the recent goblin attack. Let me know.
Thanx AJ for the invite.
The wizard character for Ptolus was built according to the setting information in determining the best possible wizard with the rolled stats.
Any suggestions on your side regarding port the character over to RotRL.
I guess we have to recreate the background for the character.
Thanks for the invite...but I've already played all the way through RotRL in my real life game...So good luck, and I'll keep my eyes open for any new games you might sprout...

The character seems fine for the setting. A possible tweak to the background could be as follows...
Valoria was born to Malnad and Catnila Grundmire in Sirathua, a small village close to Kaer Maga, Varisia’s most notorious city. The city is built into the ruins of an immense, mysterious fortress that predates Thassilon, and its denizens enjoy anarchy in its purest form. All manner of strange factions hold court in Kaer Maga’s halls, from the bloodthirsty bloatmages to the militant monks of the Brothers of the Seal and the grisly augurs—troll soothsayers who use their own entrails to prophesize with questionable accuracy. Her parents owned a small shop, where they sold the meat, furs and jewellery. Malnad was known as a very skilled hunter, who hunted in the nearby forests and plains. He was often away for a few days at a time, and on the odd occasion brought home small valuable or interesting items he found in the wilds. Catnila made jewelry as she looked after the shop and their only child Valoria.
The Grundmire family was a very well respected family in the city and known to honour their agreements.
During her young child years, Valoria learnt how to make jewellery and took delight in helping her mother making jewellery when she was not out playing with her friends. She often day dreamt of magical treasure hunting adventures inspired by the interesting items her father found and gave to her.
Sadly when she was eleven years old tragedy took place, tragedy struck her family. While travelling to Kaer Maga, the small supplies caravan was attack by raiders. The raiders thought the caravan was an easy target, only to discover once the battle began that a powerful mage was present in the caravan. Her father fought bravely and managed to take down three more raiders before impaled by a raider's sword. Even though the Ferren managed to killed the remaining raiders, her mother was unlucky to be struck by an arrow in the lung killing her quickly. After the battle, Ferren discovered Valoria crying behind her mother holding a small dragon figurine in her hands. The old mage took pity on Valoria after discovering she lost all the family she ever knew, by staying with Valoria in the wagon as the caravan continued the journey to Kaer Maga. During the remainder days of the journey, Valoria was fascinated by the display of simple magic Ferren used to entertain her so to take away the pain of loosing her parents. She asked many questions about the magical tricks and what the seemingly impossible acts the powerful mages could do.
By the time the caravan reached Kaer Maga, Ferren was intriged by Valoria's interest in the arcane magic, and under the correct guidance Valoria could be moulded in carrying on his legacy. Ferren took her to his home in Kaer Maga to be his apprentice, where he began in earnest with her training, firstly improving her writing and reading skills. Years passed and Valoria's knowledge grew with ever greater thirst for knowledge, not just the arcane, but other fields. Her skill at casting spells improved with time.
She always had the lure of adventure burning inside her, ever since her father inspired her with her hunting stories. She increasing pestered Ferren to go on trips, and after a year of nagging Ferren had enough. He was no longer young with plenty energy to roam about the world, instead he decided to settle down making magical items for mages and those in need of magical items. Ferren thought for a few days on whom would be suitable to take care of Valoria and her adventurous spirit. Eventually Ferren settled on the name of Hissarion, his paladin friend he could trust, for they fought together in various battles years earlier and helped Hissarion escape from Cheliax. Verren gave Veloria a letter to give Hissarion upon arriving in Magnimar. In the letter Verren explained why he sent Valoria to him. He organized secure passage for Veloria from Kaer Maga to Magnimar on a caravan run by one of his trusted merchants who transports rare materials he requires.
Before arriving in Magnimar, the merchant caravan has made a stopover in the small seaside town of Sandpoint. Local news speaks of a raid by vicious goblins only a few days before your arrival, on the night of the local festival. There is still a smell of smoke in the air.
Thanks for the invite...but I've already played all the way through RotRL in my real life game...So good luck, and I'll keep my eyes open for any new games you might sprout...
Thanks. I am planning a 'back to basics' take on Return to the Keep on the Borderlands'. The rules will not be Pathfinder or 3rd ed, but Swords and Wizadry. (Its a version of AD&D but simplified so its ideal for a PBP. The rules are also available as a free download.)

Sounds like fun. I've been thinking about running a retro game in real life. Tired of all the tactics and conditions.... I'll keep my eyes open.

My thoughts exactly! I'll keep you posted. (It may happen sooner rather than later so watch the boards! My other game seems to be loosing players.)

That looks like fun. I am playing in a Hideouts and Hoodlums game right now so I am familiar with S&W. I expect I'll be applying for this once it opens.
As far as the RotRL. I am not sure Zeb would really fit. The detective is more urban/mystery oriented and may not fit with Rise. What do you think?

Hmmm. Tend to agree with you on that score. However I'd be glad to see you on board for a S&W game.
not sure what i'd need to join the Rise of the runelord but willing join in....
ake a look at my other thread for the ROTRL game and see if Moulini can fit in within Sandpoint. She may be visiting the town, looking for work in the theatre, or in a tavern.
I have updated Valoria background.
I can post daily, except for a few vacation days in a year. I did play a custom made setting for a few years, before it came to an end due to technical reason beyond our control, the host destroyed the forums.
Is this the game you referring to? This Varisian game

OK, everything looks fine. The character of Ensu is heading over to see the local sage, and I think it would be a good place for Valoria to come in. She can be discussing local knowledge and history with him.
I will post a background on the adventure page thread for you.
