The Celestial Bureaucracy |
Our existing campaign is in the middle of Book 3: The Hungry Storm.
We wish to recruit a divine caster to complete the group. Here are the original recruitment requirements.
The main differences are:
- Divine caster level 8 (Druid, Oracle, Cleric preferred).
- No equipment for now. I'll discuss with the chosen player after selection.
- No campaign trait from the Player's Guide.
- The background and motivation should lead to the character accepting to travel to Tian Xia and serve a sovereign (Ameiko) in her claim.
- Avistan origins.
Here are some (spoilered) ideas, linked to the particular situation of the group, that may help you in fleshing out a character. You don't have to pick from this list. It's just meant to help a little.
Travel has been impeded by strong storms. Some caravans were lost and never made it to Kalsgard. You could be investigating the problem.
The group has had some lethal dealings with the local criminal community. These led to the disbanding of that 'syndicate'. Perhaps you feel you owe them a thanks of some sort?
One member of the group, Sorin Saldward, stayed behind in Kalsgard. Perhaps you've met him and he sent you north?
Recruitment will be open until next week. Same time and day as this post.

I was thinking of playing a Half-elf Druid.

Hey Dreaming Warforged, gyrfalcon/Tiknesr here, from Jelani's 5th Crusade. Sounds fun!
Let me float a few options. First the long shot:
I have a gnomish juju oracle/necromancer who I got to play just long enough to fall in love with him, before his campaign died. If animating dead is out of the question (as I suspect it might be) then he's a no. Otherwise...he's a sweet, caring, odd, out-of-touch, artistic gnome...who loves to collect and arrange dried flowers and dried corpses, and to animate them by coaxing Wendo spirits into their dried bodies. I like to think of him as more out-of-touch and unable to understand why others abhor his necromancy than evil in the usual sense...but those finer points are likely lost on most he meets. If you're curious, here's his profile (which would need updating, but gives you his original backstory).
Assuming gnecromancy doesn't have a place in your campaign:
I'm also thinking of submitting a druid. Could go a few directions. Does a support/summoner/melee druid build sound like a good fit? Could a saurian shaman fit in the setting? (Could be either from the Mwangi Expanse or possibly Tolguth in the Realm of the Mammoth Lords...in which case, hey, maybe he travelled over the Crown of the World for some reason?) If a saurian shaman seems like a stretch, I could still go druid, just in a different direction.
Cheers,

Well Helikon here. This is my character so far.
Traits soon to be done. Rest too.
An exiled Samurai/cleric from Tian found this little boy and raised him as his own. On his deathbed he asked that his ashes would be brought to his homeland so that he can rest with his ancestors.
As a dutyful son Faffnyr did so and met Sorin Saldswad in Kaslgad. Understanding that Faffnyr would need help in the dangerous crossing he send him to find his old comrades.

However born an albino many in her village mistakenly believed that the little pale girl was an agent of the hells born inot this world to terrorize the living. With a frightened mob ready to burn their house and slaughter their infant child Seila's parents fled that frozen land and escaped to the lands of the Linnorm kings where they had hoped, perhaps foolishly, that they would be safe.
While Seila escaped the mob there was no way to escape her condition nor the ways in which it would affect her life. Even in a land of long nights and short days the noonday sun often burned her fragile skin and she found herself most comfortable living a nocturnal life away from the staring eyes and the burning sun.
It was during this time she discovered the night walkers of Tsukiyo, clerics and worshipers who watched over the night. More appealing to her then the harsher, more straightforward gods of her people she embraced this new found faith and the cold comfort the moonlight brought her.
BEcoming a priestess of Tsukiyo Seila all but abandoned her birth life and embraced the idea of not only adopting Tian religion but culture as well. But, there was always too much to do, too many spirits to put at ease, too many evil things using the night as a means to conceal their wretchedness. Over time she all but forgot her ambitions to visit Minkai and see the lands of her god herself. Local villages often refer to her as the maiden of the move. An image she does little to dissuade with her nocturnal habits, pale skin and dark hood she wears during the daytime.
Recently she has been called to a certain Erutaki village to investigate the missing caravans and deal with the growing criminal element in that harsh place.
Let me know if anything needs to be added/changed/clarified.

Ok, time is up.
TarkXT, can Seila join us in the recruitment thread?
Thanks Helikon for your application. All the best!
