VISITORS NOTE; This is not a recruitment thread
Fear not, however, recruitment will take place shortly in another post.
This thread is for an established group to create new adventurers after completing the PbP "We Be Goblins".
Welcome Adventurers,
The gate way to fame and fortune awaits!
You three are brave souls with wanderlust in your veins. Meeting together by chance, you decide to start an "Adventuring Company" combining your skills and talents.
Here you will pool your resources. You will also outline your weaknesses, as you are aware of the need to recruit two more allies to buff up your abilities.
Two quests are already waiting to be plucked. One or more of you may be from the city of Absalom, or have a connection or aspiration to join the Pathfinder Society. There's a great opportunity awaiting there . . .
One or more of you may also be associated with the clerics of Pharasma or from the area near Kaer Maga. There's some of trouble with undead in the Undercity of that region. A good adventuring company is being sought to help curtail the area's woes.
Of course, none of you may be associated with the area's at all. The only real fact at the moment is that you all know about these opportunities.
And now, it's time to learn about each other . . .
So excited for the Next Game. Glad that we all lived in the last adventure. Hope to have my next character created sometime later this week.
*tear* Grimlek always wanted little ones. What use having Longtrunk if no can make little Longtrunks wif it?
Had a blast and looking forward to the new game. this week is hella busy for me until this weekend. Should be able to get something up then. Can you repost the character creation guidelines here for ease of access?
If you could do that, that would be awesome.
oops forgot. I'll get the guidelines up later today. Gota go do that work thing first.
If you really want to use something other that the books above, I'm sure we can work that out. I'm just trying to avoid rules overload.
You all are wanting to combine expertise to form an adventuring company. Perhaps as official pathfinders, perhaps to compete against them. Perhaps both.
Once assembled, your team will post notice to hire or partner with two others to fill out your ranks.
I'm 90% certain you will start in Absalom, City at the Center of the World . The largest Metropolis in all Golarion and central home of the Pathfinder Society.
I think I am going to make a big two handed fighter. I have some other ideas as well if someone wants the melee fighter role.

I still think either Elf ranger or human cleric will be want I want to play. I will work up my characters this weekend and post them.

Longing for Adventure, Aryllan Lanliss left her homeland long ago. She meet and fell in love with a Human. Arllyan lived happily with Jeras Deneth, her mate for a time. They had a son, Talfen and lived happily on the outskirts of Greengold. The story soon turns sad, as all stories do.
Jeras was killed and Talfen, blamed her for the loss of his father, vanished.
She then left the area of Greengold wondering the lands trying to help people along the way, while she searches for Talfen and those that killed Jeras.
I will get something to you later on Iron-Dice.

Cool!
I've almost got the recruitment thread text done.If you guys can at least work out everyones class and race, the rest can be figured out later.
I basically just need to know what area are left open so we can recruit for just those.
The concept is to create an episodic feel using the same cast as well as reoccurring theme, villains and friends. The Pathfinder society adventures seem well suited for the pace of PbP online games.
Is this a sanctioned society game with reporting, dedicated rules etc.?
No. It's an ongoing game using standard at-home rules.
Are we Pathfinders?
You start out that way. It's up to the group if you stay associated with, become opposed to, or play both sides in regards to the Pathfinders.
In the great city of Absolom, in a back-alley pub, there hangs a parchment on a well worn wall of notices.
Wanted. Adventurers.
For those with Pathfinder training, we are looking for recruits to join our adventuring company. Skills in the arts of ____ and ____ are needed.
If you meet the requirements and are available for immediate work, seek us in the red velvet curtained area two hours after sunset on the first night of the upcoming week.
Entering the tavern at the appointed hour the red curtained room awaits. Upon entering, three adventuring types are siting behind a table laden with a tray of meat, fruits and mugs of ale.
A tall female elf, a such n' such so n' so, and what's it who's it sit behind the table.
They motion to the food and drink and await your introduction.
It looks good to me, Iron Dice.
Ok boys, lets get the adventure started! Any feedback for Aryllan as a character? This week I have missed my game fix. :)
So, melee or ranged ranger, Draxx? I ask so I know not to intrude on your character.

In the great city of Absolom, near the training grounds of the Pathfinder Society.
Wanted. Elite Pathfinders..
Venture-Captain Ambrus Valsin is assembling a team of newly trained Pathfinder recruits. He's looking to create a self sufficient company to take on difficult missions that only a team familiar with each others skills, and faults, could accomplish.
He's interviewed and assembled three strong members. He still seeks two individuals that can work as a team, and yet make slit second decisions on their own. There will be no military ranks in this company. Everyone is on equal footing.
He looking for individuals the the following skill sets:
(TBA based on first three PC's)
So, melee or ranged ranger, Draxx? I ask so I know not to intrude on your character.
Hey Ganny,
So the expanded answer. I want to specialize in Ranged weapons, a long comp bow (will add strength to it when I get more gold to be able to afford it.) being the primary. I also want to be able to fight melee if necessary, so that I am able to defend myself when attacked and to put some variety. Don't want to be left out of the fight. :) (I have had that happen in the past)
Let me know if there is something that you think would be a good addition to my character. Would love the feedback, like I said the Gob adventure was my first PBP and Pathfinder game.
Sorry for the short answer earlier but I was at work and had very little time today. Hope to get in a rhythm to posting at lunch time.
Then I shall introduce Robert Toreador. He was prepped but never used for a Carrion Crown adventure set at Level 3, but it should be pretty easy to level him back. He was a 20 point buy, but I can bring him down to 15.
Simple explanation: A polearm specialized fighter (no archetype), designed to tank. Expect tripping and disarming feats as time goes on.
@Draxxan: Looks good so far. Haven't had the chance to take a close look however.
.
I am ready to start recruiting. Where Is that pub?
Then I shall introduce Robert Toreador..
Very cool. Sort of a true stout man-at-arms. That sounds fun, and perfect as a pathfinder. Just bring him down to starting level and 15 points. He's good to go.
I normally prefer slightly less modern names, but somehow this fits very well. I really like how the last name can translate as bullfighter. Very cool. Just FYI, here are some cool variations on Robert if your interested. Link.
At some point you may want to start thinking about what region of Golaron you come from. No need to decide now, but loyalities and alliances will start to come into play near the end of the first adventure. That's a good way's off, so it can remain a mystery until needed.
We've now got a
-Human fighter
-Elf ranger
once imimrtl chimes in we'll recrute the rest and get to adventuring.
Almost there.
I am ready to start recruiting. Where Is that pub?
The pub has been changed to an informal interview at the Pathfinder Grand Lodge by the Venture Captain.
Either way, it should go live sometime tomorrow. Everyone can still fiddle with their characters until the actual start. I'd like to get the actual game going by this weekend. No later than Monday for sure.
How do you want wealth set up? Max, average, or rolled?
You wouldn't happen to have a link to the regions of Golarion, would you?
Average wealth is good. You'll start in a big city and be provided quick access to any normal gear you were not able to purchase.
I think there's a wiki site with the regions. I'll have to check a bit later. The good thing is you'll be introduced to many of them in game, so you can get a feel for them before committing.
Here's a wiki of sorts. Please don't feel you need to get too caught up in the region thing. Most of it will come out in the game play.
You'll be starting in Absolam. There's some info on it in the link. Part of the first adventure will be to introduce a few of the other regions.
Please post you new PC allies on that thread so others can meet you.
There's room for all three of you.
imimrtl can just post a PC over there, and let me know here that it is him.
Let's go have some fun!
Hey sorry lots of real life stuff going on will have character up tomorrow sorry for the delay

It's all good.
All of us float in and out of RL needs. Holding you a spot.
I invited a Human Wizard with water using background to join. If she accepts, that will bring us to four.
Hey Robertus Toreador, if you get a chance pop over to the recruiting thread and say high. Then applicants can see how the party if forming up.
So far there's
Elf Ranger
Human Fighter
Human Wizard
I'd like to get a least one more core race in there somewhere to add some good variety and RP.

I can't wait to start! :-)
looking forward to it. AYO, Lets Go!:P
Looks like we need a healer so I'll make a cleric or oracle. I'll stat one up and have it up tomorrow. Sorry again for the delay. This week has been hell for me. Here's hoping for a better tomorrow lol. If you want to start now and get the intros going that's fine by me. I can be late to the party at the bar lol.

There are several clerics (at least 3) and a rogue that applied. I can use them and do a party of six. Point is, make a cleric if you want, but do something else if are leaning a different way.
A non-human or elf core race is a plus to me over the class.
Either way, the choice is your.
Robertus Toreador, please post to duty at the OOC thread so I know your ready to go.
It's almost game time!
The final group is:
TBA (imimrtl aka Grimlek)
Robertus Toreador - Human Fighter, Male (Ganny aka Thok)
Aryllan Lanliss- Elf Ranger, Female (Draxxan aka Glop)
Volta Delbove - Human Rogue, Male
Uraia Ellsworth - Human Wizzard, Female
Baladur Farwander - Dwarf Cleric, Male
imimrtl can join us at any time. RL stuff can be tough sometimes.
Just post to the OOC thread, and if we've started the Captain will send you to meet up with the group. No biggie.
Gotcha. My next couple days are packed, will fix up Robertus once I get the chance to get to my primary computer on Sunday.
Any objection to the comment concerning the Polearm Master from the APG? No decision necessary now, it doesn't start affecting me till 2nd level.

All good with the APG. I've been reading through it this week. Lots of good stuff in there.
I'll probably open the game thread for introductions tonight of Saturday, just jump in when you find time. The real adventure won't start 'till monday..
Hey this is imimrtl. I am proud to present...Professor Diggans Q. Finnegan, Summoner, Inventor, Weaponsmith, and all around great guy.
Proffesor Diggans is a summoner who summons his eidolon by basically assembling it from pieces pulled from what he believes is another dimension that has vastly superior technology to ours. By pulling various components through a dimensional portal, he builds Delta 426, a mechanized quadruped that looks vaguely like a lion or large cat with a built in seat on it's back.
Updating as we speak. Any sign of the campaign that will be starting?
