Pathfinder 2E [OOC] JM's "Doomsday Dawn" Pathfinder 2 Playtest Adventure. (Closed)

[jmucchiello]

As a short jump start to the adventure, the story starts in the city of Magnimar, in the Varisia region. (World Map in post#3 of the RG thread.) All the characters should be familiar to and friendly with a woman named Keleri Deverin (pic at right), an aristocrat and scholar who lives in Magnimar. (Goblin PCs with the Goblin Renegade background should not have previous knowledge of Ms Deverin.) She has sent word that she needs some help to her more adventurous friends and acquaintances in town. The game will start when the group arrives at her estate this evening. So figure out why you know a random scholar/aristocrat (her cousin is mayor of Sandpoint, 70 miles east on the coast of the Varisian Gulf). Oh, and my knowledge of Golarion is fully taken from the pathfinder wiki so if you want to make some stuff up, I won't really care (or notice).

As a scholar I imagine she might be a professional acquaintance of Urik. Or perhaps she has a preference for seeking medical services from a priest of Irori due to mutual interest in knowledge and Urik has acted as an assistant to a more senior cleric and physician in that regard.

Hiromi is up. She was a hired dancer at a party Keleri threw about a month ago. In casual conversation after the party, Hiromi mentioned wanting to become an adventurer, and Keleri remembered it. It was easy enough to send a runner to fetch her. Hiromi immediately blew all her savings on some adventuring gear and a nice new suit of leather armour. Her rapier she had for sword-dance performance, and it was of good enough quality, but it hadn't been sharpened in quite some time. Hiromi paid a professional to give it a nice edge and watched him do it, so that she could do it herself next time. (She's always been good at picking up skills just by watching.)

Oh, I forgot, the year is 4707, which is 11 year ago based on Golarion "now".

Radaceus, we'll conduct Elkran's story intro over IM.

 

[Radaceus]

got it.
I'm off to work soon, will try to get more in detail background when I return

 

[EarlyBird]

Will look into a character as well. When's the eighth?? Oh WED! Yea! my main pbp day LOL

 

[jmucchiello]

Wednesday is a target date for one of the parties to start. The other party might be a few days behind.

So far party 1 is
Kaodi: Male Half-Orc "Esoteric Scion" Cleric 1 (for a later game: male dwarf "budding osirionologist" wizard 1)
Chairwoman Gene: human "family friend" fighter 1
Radaceus: goblin sorceror 1
FitzTheRuke: "pathfinder hopeful" rogue 1

and one of these (I'm not sure which fits better. One's artillery, the other's support.)

GreenKarl: human alchemist 1
tglassy: male elf "Budding Osirenologist" bard 1

party 2 would be
GK or TG: alchemist or bard
VLAD the Destroyer: halfling druid or range
ccs: unknown (at GenCon, I think)
Earlybird: unknown (and welcome)
and a player to get back from GenCon soon

Thanks,

Let's see - I downloaded the pdf from piazo, ordered a softcover copy from Amazon, and looking at party 2 above I'll take the tank spot - maybe a barbarian two-handed smasher/damage soaker, to start lvl 1.

If someone else would like that spot let me know, paladin is my choice #2.

Looking forward to a little playtesting. Should have character up tomorrow.

Fitz, I think all of your attack values are one too high? I believe pretty much only Fighters can get +6 to attack at 1st level because they are Expert at simple and martial weapons. Everyone else is merely Trained.

 

[jmucchiello]

I didn't notice that. Yes, Fitz, Kaodi is correct. All of your attacks look like they have an extra +1.
