Okay: I'm updating Col's background now with the following changes:
- Note regarding his parents
- Keoni: As Keoni is just off the boat recently, I am going to guess Col found him and had a few drinks with him only recently to probe him odd details. They know each other, but that's probably it
- Damash: Damash has been around a little longer, and Col, who still spends some time at the docks, probably heard the stories of the "Man who swims like a fish." Probably has some questions about him, but w/o evidence, probably has not approached him. Thus, it is unlikely they know each other (though possibly know of each other). That is unless Damash hunted Col down: He could have heard the stories of "Mad Col" that delves into things others wouldn't, and thus may have approaches him regarding some odd lore.
- Chongo: It is my impression that Chongo has been in Sasserine for a while, so I am going to posit that they had been on the same vessel more than once before the accident. After the accident, Col would have probed the jungle man for any information he could. Thus, Chongo and Col are familiar with each other.
- Anar: I'm under the impression that Anar does not actually sail much, so I do not have any ideas. Unless he was one ships enough to possibly have run into Col before the accident, I'm guessing Anar only knows of Col through his more recent reputation.
- Nicolai: Unless Nicolai sought Col out, they probably do not know each other. They would not have served on the same ships, and Col's been land bound recently while Nicolai was keeping himself hidden. It is a possibility they may have crossed paths in Shadowshore.
- Kalen: Unlikely to have known sane Col, Mad Col would have sought out such a obvious oddity in the search of his occult lore. Col would listen aptly to any and all of Kalen's tales, though he would probably trust little of them, listening instead of the rare true nugget underneath the tales. Thus, they would know each other.
Let me know if this gels with everyone's concepts of their character.

From what I've gathered from some of the writer's for the AP, "There Is No Honor" starts with a simple job offer from Lavinia Vanderboren.
Did I mention how hard it is to skip 1/3 of the magazine each month?

I like the connections you've got set up for Col!
Here is my updated sheet with background as well.
Pleasepleaseplease let me know if what the links I'n building between the PCs is alright with everyone - I haven't had much to go on with several of the PCs, but I'm going with the assumption that Chongo could have crewed with literally anyone who took to the ships, and anyone who frequents the port could have met him.

Hey all,
Just wanted to say a couple of things.
1. First, stonegod and GwydapLew, you have done a great job on your backgrounds. I especially like the ideas on potential ties to the other PCs. We still need those backgrounds for Kalen, Anar, and Keoni. Tonks, the b/g for Damash is solid, but could maybe use a little revision. For example, you made one reference to Sasserine as a 'fishing village' but it's a actually a large city.
2. I still haven't received my magazine, so my hopes rest on Tuesday now, thanks to the holiday on Monday.
3. I'm planning to go ahead and start the game with six PCs when I get issue #139, in hopes that Land Outcast can get his connectivity issues resolved. His place in the game is reserved, but I will not be introducing Nicolai as an NPC or anything. We won't worry about introducing him until Land returns to play him.
4. My understanding is that the player's guide to the Savage Tide will be made available as a free PDF download on Paizo's website in the near future. I'd like all of you to download this info if you can. I feel it will help enrich the game, and enhance the plausibility of the PCs being familiar with Sasserine. When it becomes available, I'll let you all know. Again, it's free, so it shouldn't be a big deal to do so, hopefully.

I would infer from this that the action will pick up in the Merchant's Disctrict, so that's something for all of you to keep in mind. Your characters will need a reason to be in that district for the opening scene...assuming I'm right about that.
Gwyd, I am impressed by your self-discipline!

Plenty of reasons for Col to be down there. He probably spends a good bit of time at the Inner Labyrinth occult book shop. In fact, looking at the guide, Col has a list of common places he would go to regularly:Malvoisin said:
- The Inner Labyrinth (Merchant: occult books) [Probably a favorite customer]
- The Dancing Monkey (Merchant: curio shop) [Could be something evil there!]
- Glitterman's Vault (Merchant: magic shop) [As above]
- Orimander's Empiroum of the Soul (Merchant: magic shop/bookshop) [Two great tastes that taste great together]
- Scavenger's Guildhall (Merchant: finders of lost object) [Somethings that are lost should stay that way]
- The Trophy Hunter (Champions: curio shop) [You thought the head of the Great Rhino wasn't possessed, didn't you?]
- Enad's Trickery (Cudgel:curio shop) [Col get's here less regularly, as the Cudgel folks tend to try to run him out]
- Witchwarden's Tower (Noble: arcanist's guild) [Col tries to sneak in here occasionally]
- High Market (Noble: General market, occasionally magic) [Is that the Black Pearl of Diomenides?]
- House of the Dragon (Noble: academy and library) [He did graduate from there, even if they don't care for him much now]
- The Curious Chimera (Noble: bookstore) [used to be a favorite customer]
- Callisto's Needle (Noble: tattoo parlor and Knowledge [the planes] sage) [Col has spent a lot of time here]
- Blenak's Bazaar (Noble: magic shop and Knowledge [arcana] sage) [Col's other favorite stop]
- The Crystal Whisper (Noble: curio shop) [Noble's collect evil curios 5 times more than others]
- The Endless Dark (Sunrise: Knowledge [dungeoneering] sage) [Col has a few questions occasionally]
- House of Science (Shadowshore: freak show and museum of oddity) [Never know what you'll find]
