Anything you want to ask me do so here or in PM's
mithril and adamantine are rare others are still normally available.

I've picked out a few spots that might make sense for Jim's settlement. One of them is close to the Mithril Mountains, so maybe that's how Jim and Ghorum could meet? Ghorum on patrol, Jim searching too deep in the forest, hilarity (/violence) ensues...
Here are the spots. Let me know what you think.

I like! I'm thinking of going with the skirmisher ranger archetype, rather than guide. More warrior-like...I don't see Ghorum as a spell caster. Some of the skirmisher's hunters tricks could prove rather useful. Especially once he gets an amimal companion (a nice wolf...)
Meeting Jim and becoming friends sounds good. They can constantly argue about "who-rescued-who" reminiscing about certain encounters!
D-kal Thanks for the extra help with others. I find that very admirable and team focused.
I was going to as the same thing as D-Kal
Herkymr, I noticed under the "characters" tab you have Torillan (my default alias) listed instead of Ghorum. Any way you can change that? Then I can access the character sheet easier.
I'm pretty much ready to go when you are. I have a few well-earned days off to work on some projects around the house, and will welcome any excuse to check for new posts. ;-)
I don't think he has control over that. I think it just lists whoever posts in"gameplay."
So how are Jim and Ghorum going to run across the rest of you?
Well, Faagaki is currently traveling from town to town trying to hear any rumors of a safe place.
Question for DM is the Vale of Solstice info common knowledge? Would it be likely that Faagaki had heard of it?
Tess's Char sheet is almost done just have to transfer it over to pazio site. unless google docs is acceptibale for an upload?
Also since Tess is a exiled traveling dwarf looking for things to blow up. you might run into her after hearing a small explosion lol
lol give me a moment or two to think where i want to start ou all. Have a few ideas but need to flesh them out more.
Been rough work week and I am 1/2 through so hang in there and bear with me.
Common info is vale of solstice. Names and exacts may not be known but the general is known.
not sure how to change to ghorum haven't been able to find a way for that yet if I do I'll change it.
If bignumbers decides to go through with the Rune-fated, he will have a level 1 adjustment meaning you all would be able to take another level or add an appropriate template to balance things. I will let you know once I have an idea of what he's thinking.
I dont care what they are uploaded as as long as i can see and use the information there
Is it ok if Miya and Tess Le'Blanc start the game knowing each other? Kind of like the odd couple of mates just looking to get by, if we gain a level we could say we got it working togever doing this and that etc, what do you think Tess.
I'll post there as Ghorum to add him to the list.
Miya..I love the idea and I love the initiative to get things going in the game.
So we will be starting in a large city called "Triumvirate" It is the dot you see just north east of the mithril mountains and almost directly east of the Weiter down Isles. It is to the west of trayder straits.
town has roughly 1500 people with the main mix being half orc, dwarf, and gnomes. This racial mix up makes it stand out among the surrounding areas.
This town has very strict rules and enforcement around the 5 dock areas due to the dwarves using this as a major staging area for mithril and adamantine transport to Saranell and thus on to Haddon's reach.
As for why each of you are here...That is upto you.
You will all be staying (1 weeks room and board all ready covered.) in an inn --lower class, on the shady /seedier side of town near the docks-- called the Hag's Spew. The building is in shambles and the only thing that appears to be solid is the room and the back wall.
Contrary to the impression, some of the finest food and pastries are made with in the walls of this hovel.
The innkeeper and main cook is a gnome. She appears to be middling age and very plump. However her demeanor is rather glum. The common joke of the town is that "she is so gloom and doom because she puts all her pleasant in her cooking." However noone seems willing to say anything of the sort to her face for fear of being cut off from her pastries.
Im good with knowing each other miya. char relationships in game make for funn times and good RPing IE inside jokes lol
@Jim - lets cook up a story as to how we got to Triumverate. Could be we are on our way to cash in some reclaimed loot.
Faagaki would be going through any towns trying to find a safe place. He would go to question people there about it. Especially big towns would be better for finding info. So he went there for that reason.
Char sheet check it out see if i missed anything lol
@Jim - lets cook up a story as to how we got to Triumverate. Could be we are on our way to cash in some reclaimed loot.
I specifically placed Jim's settlement near a larger city, as I assumed they'd be too small to be entirely self-sufficient. I made up a place called the storehalls of Keth, under which the shady magic-item dealers handle arcane business under the table. That is, business like ours. Feel free to contradict/counteract my assertions, Herk/Ghor.
Char sheet check it out see if i missed anything lol
LOL I think you missed making me able to read it. I can open it but it is all mismatched and out of alignment.
Can you try with some other format maybe?
hmm lets try that again lol
So
A few things.....
first Big# I cannot find my template for runefated. I thought it was on main comp but it isn't and isn't on lappie either. I haven't been able to catch the Tim who has a copy of it so... I am going to rule that due to this, No runefated. Srry I know you wanted to play one and as soon as I find the template we probably can work something out.
That being said I need the full crunch by monday night (sept 11)

The majority of the information that i post is common knowledge to our characters. You know the basics but not the specifics unless you roll knowledge skill that is appropriate to the information.
Hope you all like your "goodies"
Quite awesome. I must update my sheet.
looks good big#'s
We have two vacuum systems currently, the main system that we house the STM in goes down to x10^-9 torr at the moment. Which we achieve using three separate pump lines consisting of a scroll pump followed by a turbo-molecular pump that turns on once the scroll pumps draw down a good ways from standard atmosphere. In the future we ~might~ be able to get down to -12 using an ion pump, which we have drawn up in the plans for the whole system. However, ion pumps are really expensive. We also have a much smaller vacuum system set up that only has 1 turbopump and scroll pump that will get down to 10^-6, we use that system for evaporative vapor deposition of silver onto a mica substrate to use as a surface for samples in the STM itself. Though right now we are still in the build phase, the whole system is very complicated even for a UHV system. But it does mean I get to go play in the machine shop on metal lathes and milling machines which I have not been able to do in a while.
Cool so a Scroll compressor, (A flat arcanists screw in all but name yes?)
A turbo-molecular pump (fan element pulp, Thinking Jet Engine compressor etc) then an ion pump (fly paper for gasses, I think) cool.
I wonder if there is a better and cheaper way?, humm let me have a think.
Sounds like a fun problem, no doubt ill get it all wrong but its a fun thing to think about.
I wonder if you could expand a volumetric void in a usefully mechanical way that would be a good vacuum containing void (if that is the right way to say some thing that holds nothing). Humm in a SS way, if your snagging atoms of gases with the Ion pump to get that V2M down. What if you could you remove the material around a void in a sold structure from the inside?
Lots of small reductions in mass/volume inside a sealed vessel.
Sorry nuts I know just me being silly :)
@DM, I was looking at the advanced race guide and realized that I had made Faagaki far too young for an undine (60 is adulthood). So I made a few background changes to reflect this. Nothing big, just ages and timetables.
Actually I was mistaken on the number of pumps on our system. There are 10 pumps total. 3 scroll pumps to draw down initially, 3 small turbopumps, 1 big turbopump. The other pumps are unique in that they have no moving parts. First off, we do actually have an ion pump in place but it is much smaller than I thought they normally are. So it escaped my notice. The other two work much the same way as the ion pump does in that they trap molecules floating around. One is essentially a lightbulb inside the vacuum chamber. It has 4 titanium elements that turn on for 30 seconds at a time launching Titanium (iii) ions onto a housing surrounding the elements. Titanium (iii) is really reactive and will latch onto whatever is floating around to form an oxide. The last pump is not really much of a pump per-se. It is pretty much just a liquid nitrogen dewar stuck inside the vacuum system that we can fill externally. when the metal of the canister gets down to 77K anything that bumps into it will stay there because it loses so much kinetic energy. It is a really impressive system, but it also is very sensitive to even the smallest contaminant.
I have been trying to get my EngD done at UCL for over 9 years, hard to work and do it at the same time. Think I need a year off just to get it done, But was ill also for 3 years, lots of ops and time off. 77k is low some guys in UCl have kit like that, but its not my area. I do LIDAR and other such 3d scanning stuff, In china working with a Uni her in laser scanning systems.
What do you think of Leo Gross work, nice idea

@Miya:: Koda's sheet is now uploaded. You are welcome to get familiar with him as your character would know most of his information.
Edit got it
