@Druhg: If we both get picked, I'd totally be willing to follow Rovagug as a layorc. Not going to be devout, as my patron comes first, but as far as deities go, Rovagug would fit my character just fine.
That sounds good. I don't plan to play him as a "convert or die" type, but more of a "convert or I cannot use Rovagug's divine magic on you".
Okay, everything is finished except Thinky's turtle familiar, Not-soup. Not-soup stays safely hidden underneath Thinky's armor and clothing to keep the little guy safe from her hungry tribemates.
So far, I think I'll accept Thinky Skybones, Druhg, and Gorbak, and wait for 2 or 3 more.
Hm... I've been debating on what to play, and I've decided that Ragechemist sounds interesting. Been wanting to play one for a while. I'll get back to you on that ASAP.
"Thinky be tickled you choose her."
Hey, Still want to try the orc monk master of four winds--if not a simple cannibal barbarian sounds good. How can you not like a LE Orc monk with fist of fire.
Chainmail and Mahorfeus, post your characters when they are ready.
Some monks try for defense and fancy stunning effects. Some orcs try to stay on their feet after getting hurt. Not Fisty, he deals out the most damage even if he has to bite.
An afterthought. Being level 5 to start, what are the chances of having a handful of extra spells/level stored, learned via the "Familiar Teaching Familiar" way of learning new spells?
Not a big deal, either way, but versatility only helps. :)
Now I need someone to use my Wand of Enlarge and Wand of Mage Armor
"Raaaarrrrgg!", shouts Druhg in excited anticipation.
"Eh! Thinky! Gorbak! Me hears' chief pick you two also for mission. Me happy to hear dat! You look like tuff orcs. Me think we tough enough, we not need any more. Hrmm... mebee some grunts to use as meat shields. Yup, meat shields alwayz be good?"
"Reaaaarggggggh! Rend the flesh, drink the blood, grind the bone!"
The secret of rage alchemy is one that has been passed down Orthrik's tribe for generations, contained in a book bound by human skin and sinew. But since the creation of the morbid tome, no orc of the Tornclaw ever held the desire to tap into its formulae, shunning it as nothing more than a trophy. That is, until it came into the hands of Orthrik.
With the knowledge contained within, he concocted an elixir of grand proportions, one that forced the body to reach the pinnacle of physical perfection... at a price.
Orthrik never hesitates to demonstrate his creation, taking every opportunity to tap into his bestial nature.
Gorbak flexes his muscles and grins. The thought of letting more Humans taste his flaming steel made him happy. Or as happy as an Orc can get.
"Let the Humans come and meet their end," the trapper roars in the language of the Orcs.
"Gorbak, Druhg!"
"We be the best of orcs, and have power, might, and cunning. We still can use more of our kin to war on human invaders."
"And meatshields. Any think to hire grunts? They be cheap."
One more seek to join. Room enough is there?
Gorbak, with a high carrying capacity and the trapper archetype, you should consider picking up some bear traps from the APG. I almost got a few myself, but am running out of room to carry them. Great for ambushes and bottleneck points.

How many?
Sure, Reghar.
1 per class level would be reasonable, assuming Thinky had time to find other witches. In trade, they'd have learned spells Thinky knows, too.
I'll allow that.
"Think be ready for smashing, burning, and killing. Where be the humans? When we get to start?"
Thinky, I have a wand of mage armor and enlarge I plan on giving you. Don't know if that will change your scroll plans.
We start the 26th.

I only have 5 scrolls of mage armor, so it wouldn't change plans much. I appreciate the generosity. It'll help the party. A lot of Large orcs running around and smashing things? :D
"Thinky wants to smash lots of humans."
"Yah, where dere be humans to kill in Rovagug's name?"
Sorry, my home computer is virused. It may be awhile before I can get it operational again. (I can't spend the time required online at work.) I will check and see if you are still looking when I am online again.

We start the 26th.
What is our new plan?
On the night of the 24th, someone with the username "I hate Kelsey" started a thread with a similarly hateful title, and said a few mean things about her.
It was removed by the next day, and several posters were critical of the OP's cruel and cowardly anonymous remarks, but I fear that Kelsey may have seen it and was hurt by it, and that's why she's not been back.
She was pretty new to this site, and very active on it. I hope I'm wrong, and she comes back in a day or two and says she was whisked off on an unexpected fabulous globetrotting holiday vacation, but I sorta doubt it.
Thanx for the update. Put me in the friends of Kelsey camp on this one and against anonymous flamers.
I'm just doing one last check onto see if there is still any intention to start this campaign? I was really looking forward to this campaign and I do see that Kelsey has returned. Please let us release the inner orc in all of us...
"Thinky ready to smash all the humans."
Friendly Orc-shaped bump!
>.>
<.<
Who still wants to kill humans?
I'll be watching this to see if there is space for me.
I'll answer that tomorrow.
I've been looking at other Orc builds to inspire my own.
You have priced your weapons incorrectly, they should be 8,310 and 8,306 gp.
The +1 cost from Flaming means it costs the same as a +2 weapon, not a +1 weapon twice. And you need to include the cost of a MW weapon.
Who still wants to kill humans?
"Druhg ready to kill more humans!"
"Alright orcs, time to wake up! Warchief Grumash has put da call to action out. Who is ready to fight for da clan? Who is ready to fight for Grumash? And more importantly, who is ready to fight for Rovagug? It's time to deal wit' dis menace call 'humans'! Ready your spells and blades, fight'n time is here! RAAAARRRRRGGGGG!!!!"
Hm. I have two PbPs going on right now. Seeing as this is an awesome violence campaign, I might be able to handle it as well...
Let us know I guess. :P
I could use one more orc, yes.
Rishnak has been sent by the priests of Baphomet to monitor the activities of the followers of Rovagug and report back anything that might be counter to our own goals.
As part of this mission, he has been instructed to work with them on sowing chaos and destruction, as those are goals he shares with them which Baphomet fully supports.
Inquisitor 5 (Baphomet)
Ready
question: can Antipaladins take alignment-reversed Paladin archetypes?
So, just doing a quick summary of the group (mainly for my own benefit):
Thinky Skybones - Witch
Gorbak Humanbane - Ranger
Drugh - Cleric
Fisty Fire Puncher - Monk
Othrik - Rage Chemist
I'm not certain if the GM confirmed if she is still recruiting for 1 more orc, or if she said there is an opening for this orc in the group:
Rishnak - Inquisitor
