I'm looking for 3 more reliable players to continue my Zolurket campaign.
We currently have an elf alchemist (crypt breaker) and an elven wizard (transmuter). our dwarf barbarian and cleric have gone missing. The campaign is currently just a few days out from the mines. Characters are at 3rd level.
Here's the background if you aren't familiar with this infamous haunted mine in western Katapesh:
In 4121 AR, the desert dwarves sealed the famed Tar-Urkatha mine abruptly saying that one of the richest platinum mines in history had played out. Nearly six centuries later, gnoll traders appear in Katapesh City selling dwarven goods and platinum bars they claim came from the Zolurket mine. If this is true why did the dwarves walk away from a fortune in platinum and precious minerals and then lie about it? And why is Tar-Urkatha now known as Zolurket, the Kelish word for Dark Death? Only the bold will find the answers in the Horror and the Hunger of Zolurket!
All Core and APG rules are fine. Characters use 20 point buy and have 3,000 gp for gear. Keep in mind this adventure will be mostly underground and undead heavy. So I’d like to see a cleric in the party and dwarves may have an advantage with darkvision and a good fort save.
Dang it.. I had an idea for a Dwarven ranger too. :( However, I think a Magus might be good too.
I take it you're not allowing the Alternate Racial Traits from the ARG?
Guns Everywhere?
Arknight - probably best to put forward exactly which traits you're interested in so that Voodoo has a chance to review them specifically.
Black Thom - knowing the game to date, unlikely to be guns everywhere... but I'll let Voodoo chime in on what level of gunpowder he sees in the world. It's likely to be fairly close to Golarion canon.
Just being hopeful, was helping someone with a Gunslinger build, now I got the bug. Would be my first.
HV
Was thinking of a Tiefling 2 Weapon Fighter (Hooked Axe & Kukri) but am aware that Mark will think I'm stalking him if selected :)
I was thinking of taking Minesight (Darkvision 90' but with Light Sensitivity), Deep Warrior (bonuses against Aberrations instead of Giants) and Rock Stepper (Ignore difficult terrain for a 5' step instead of Stonecunning).
Arknight- those traits are fine. I haven't picked up the Race guide yet, but trust paizo's judgement so far. except kinda meh about Ultimate Magic.
Black Thom- i'd consider a gunslinger. though the mines are remote at least there'll be plenty of guano around for powder and Katapesh isn't all that far from the gun producing dwarves of the Mana Waste.
Hey all- go ahead and post your character so I can see what we have mechanically. a brief background is fine as well.
Dotting as I'd like to come back later with a good old-fashioned dwarven fighter.
Sounds like a good adventure to remake my female, half-orc cleric of Sarenrae. Raised by a reluctant mother who constantly belittled her for her orcish heritage, Kirsteen turn to the church of Sarenrae out of the need she felt to redeem herself and prove to her mother that she wasn't a godless savage like her biological father.
I'd be interested in playing a Dwarf Cleric of Torag, with the Protection (Defense subdomain) and Magic (using Separatist archetype) so he can throw his melee weapon.
Seems you've plenty o' great choices here Voodoo - I'll politely step aside :)
I'd probably be interested in the alternate Dwarf racial traits of Lorekeeper and Magic Resistant.

(Arknight here.) this is the profile for my concept. The background is listed, and the rest of the crunch will come later..
Fire and Sun Domains? Feel the fiery wrath of my goddess, you undead scum. :)
Basic crunch is up behind my profile.
Dhampir - "Walker"
LG Paladin/Gunslinger 2/1
Divine Hunter-Warrior of the Holy Light/Pistolero-Mysterious Stranger
It's a a mouthful, but should be legal.
The stranger stands upon a hill, his back to the sun. Standing in the twilight, he looks over his gun, as it's about to get some use.
"Zolurket, yes... The Dark Death. I've heard stories, but now that I'm here, it's time to go a little deeper.
Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of Death, I will fear no Evil, for thou art with me..."
Leading his mount down the hill into town, he's just one more thing to go... bump in the night.
Someone ask for a cleric?
This character needs a little touch up for this game. She was in another that died shortly after starting.
@ Voodoo - Are you looking just for mechanics/stats/gear, or do you want a backstory, personality, etc.?
yeah, not a novel or anything, but just a paragraph to give me an idea of who the character is.
So far I've got:
Aroach1188- possible dwarf ranger
Arknight- dwarf ??
Black Thom- dhampir palagun
Birch33- possible dwarf ftr
Kirsteen- half-orc Clr
Wolfwalker- dwarf clr Torag

Ijen- human clr

I just wanted to try this and understand if Oread is not allowed but thought would make for interesting character.

In a few words, Kraden is a charming and passionate Half-Orc Battle Cleric.
He is happy to wade into battle, even if not the strongest of warriors; he is happy to be the meat-shield as well, even if he's not a steel tank.
But above all, he sees himself as the scourge of the undead - by channel, spell, morningstar or his deity's scimitar, he will crush, slice and dice those aberrations of nature.
Oh, and if you have a boo-boo, he'll be happy to heal you too. :)
Stats n' stuff are linked to this alias...If you want more detail, I'll be happy to provide it Voodoo, just not before I get some sleep!

for hp let's just go with full for 1st level and average after that:
d6 = 4
d8 = 5
d10 = 6
d12 = 7
just a note for favored enemy, etc. there won't be many aberrations. main opponents will likely be various humanoids and undead.
This sounds like a good game for the first character I ever made: a cleric of Pharasma that all of life was a story waiting to be written down, and he believed that the 'happily ever after' bit at the end cheapened the sacrifices made along the way. He's a decent enough sort, just don't find yourself in need of healing if he thinks that you won't accomplish more than you already have. . .I've never determined what his alignment would be, but it's definately somewhere on the neutral scale.

--------------------
Rumors have it Lockjaw was born to dwarves of the deep mines, left behind in the Quest for Sky. Lost for too long in the dark and given to feral rages in order to survive, it is rare that one should become a paladin. Others say he has been touched by the god Torag himself, his holy power a product of the deities attention at a young age. Most agree that the best way to deal with the dwarf now known as Lockjaw is to give him a hunk of meat or chair leg to chew on until there's something you need killed.
Although he is no tactical genius Lockjaw posses a feral cunning and grasp of how best to hurt those opposing them. He has given particular attention to the undead, considering them a foe beyond all others to the dwarves. What caused this hatred is known to none on the surface, but the sight of an undead abomination always brings about a cold fury in the hairy holy warrior.
Not given to fancy speeches or pretty dress, Lockjaw considers water to be akin to poison, drinking it only if there are no other options. On at least one occasion he drank the squeezings from a bar rag on the theory that it contained at least some beer in it, and was therefore better than water. Needless to say he hasn't bathed in years, and considers his stench to be as powerful a weapon as his axe. Wearing cheap armor and drinking cheaper beer, Lockjaw wanders from town to town, looking for monsters to slay and bars to drink dry.
I think I'll bow on out on this one. You've got plenty of cleric submissions.
I think I'll bow on out on this one. You've got plenty of cleric submissions.
And, here I was looking to partner up! :(
Wolfwaker here. Haven't finished the equipment and skills but I have the stats, feats, and traits. Dwarven cleric of Torag with Good and Protection/Defense domains. Wielding a dorn-dergar. Heard rumors about the mine from his uncle and came to investigate.
Come on folks, I mentioned clerics specifically because they'll be REALLY handy to have around for this campaign. I may even take a couple.
I do want to say that most of my campaigns are near the year mark or better, so I'd really like folks that are going to commit for a while and not just disappear.
Revised list:
Aroach1188- possible dwarf ranger
Arknight- dwarf ranger
Black Thom- dhampir palagun
Birch33- possible dwarf ftr
Wolfwalker- dwarf clr
Nathaniel- half elf summoner
Ijen- human clr
Robbgobb- Oread Monk
Rickybobby- half-orc battle cleric
Balodek- dwarf paladin
seems like I have some decent choices here. i'll stay open another day for folks to finish out their characters.
Whoa... Looks like I'm being ambushed in R/L. Not sure if I can pick a game in an unfamiliar setting. With the complexities of my char concept.
Sincerest apologies. Good luck, all!
Dotting for interest - Most likely and Aasimar (Anglekin or normal) Cleric of Apsu.
- Will try to get a background up tonight, just found this thread a short while ago.
OK, before anyone else can flee from the Darkness and the Hunger...
it was a difficult decision, but I'd like to invite:
Balodek w/ a very grubby paladin
Robbgobb w/ a stone cold monk
Wolfwaker w/ a much needed cleric
let me know if you're in at the safe haven.
Maybe I can catch up with ya in another game Balodek and I love that teddy bear. Maybe we can find one for Kirsteen and Grutsnick to both play in. :)
