OOC: Adventure Path - Shackled City

Selvaggio(druid) and Intrepido(wolf companion)

Well I am throwing my hat back in the ring as I have more time to be on the boards (I can post at least once a day). Here is the concept I came up with (and the stat block to go along with it). Went with a druid because it seemed more divine casters could be used. If there is anything you have a question on or concerns about, let me know. I am really interested in playing in this campaign, as I have heard great things about the Adventure Path, and never had the chance to experience it or read it.

Character Concept: Selvaggio is nature's warrior. After fleeing from home, he lived in the wild for years, where he learned how to survive without the need of civilization. Coming across a wolf in need, he befriended the creature and has been wife him ever since.

Race/Class: Selvaggio is a 1st level human druid. He will probably stay the path of druid and not take a prestige class (unless something comes up in game that would make sense for him).

Appearance: Selvaggio is an adult who is obviously uncivilized. He stands tall at 6'4" and weighs in at 210 lbs. A beard that could use some trimming covers his face and his arms are just as hairy. Beyond all the facial air his eyes are dark pools of brown that seem bottomless when staring into them. He walks hunched over, almost appearing as if he would rather be walking on all fours. His teeth are stained and he has an earthly smell about him. He wears what appears to be hide armor, made out of the skins of various animals. In one hand he holds a shield made out of wood, and in the other he holds a club. A small sickle is strapped to his side and the points to two shortspears can be seen over his right shoulder.

Personality: A very quiet individual because he has grown up in the wild not talking, he does know the common tongue and the tongue of the druids. He will talk when he sees it is important to, but would rather remain silent. He sees any harm done to what he has grown to call his family (nature) as an attack on his very soul. In battle he is ferocious and very capable.

BACKGROUND: [sblock]The young boy, who has become known as Selvaggio, wasn't originally named so. His original name was been long forgotten by even himself. Growing up in a small farming town in between Chendl and the Vesve Forest, the young man had to deal with a father who was tormentor and a mother who was malevolent. Having taken enough of this, the young boy fled his home towards the Vesve Forest albeit the fact that he knew he would not survive very long.

For months, the young boy tried to live off the land, but he found himself starving more often than full, freezing more often than warm, and wet more often than dry. Coming across a lone wolf stuck howling in the metal trap of a hunter, the young boy thought he had found a food source for days. But staring into the wolf's eyes he could not help but covet the personality of the wolf. Though the wolf knew he was doomed, there was a fire in his eye. A fire the young boy found warmth in. Deciding it was not the wolf's time to die, the young boy calmed him and released him from the snare.

The injured wolf and the lost boy slowly became companions. Eventually they started hunting together and traveling the woods and world. During this time, a connection between the wolf and the boy started to grow. They could almost sense what the other was thinking and feeling. Coming across an elder gentleman in the middle of the woods, the young boy came in contact with the first human in quite some years. This man is what the rest of the world would call a druid. In his last days of his life, the old man went against the code of his cabal and taught the young boy the secret language and rituals of his faction. One of these the young boy found most interesting was the ritual allowing him to speak with his wolf companion. From these conversations is where Selvaggio got his name and Intrepido his.

Traveling the lands from here, Selvaggio and Intrepido have lived off the land. They just recently found themselves coming across a city named Cauldron, which both find interesting as it sits in a dormant volcano.[/sblock]

Here is a character for the game since you mentioned you needed more divine spellcasters.

I can hold out until Saturday to see what D20Dazza and Jdvn1 come up with (along with any others who still wish to submit a character). Then I'll announce the five players...just in time to leave town for five days on a business trip. :(

I might be able to find an internet connection while I'm away, though.

Didn't mean to be pushy, I'm just eager to play! :)

Thanks,
Krago
Thanks for that, muchly appreciated. Hey, you're the DM, you're not being pushy you're weeding out the not-so-keens ;)

Me three! ;)

Thanks for the time, though.
 



The Players Announced!

Well, it's time to announce the players for the campaign. Unfortunately, D20Dazza and Jdvn1, I just couldn't wait any longer. I apologize, but you'll certainly be eligible as alternates if one of the other players drops out.

Without further ado....here's who made it in.

Scotley as William Baker, Human Paladin
Krug as Eliara Treesong, Wood Elf Scout
Mark Chance as Galen Thurycides, Human Warmage
Dichotomy as Konstantine D'Artur, Human Bard
Caliber as Intari/Seven Deadly Stings, Human Spirit Shaman

Congratulations to you all!

Many thanks to Ranger Rick, Ferrix, and Mista Collins for your excellent submissions. Mostly, the decision just came down to party balance, and I regret that I had to turn you away. I hope that you'll find many more opportunities to game on these boards (who knows, maybe even in another game run by me!) You all will be my first choices if the need for an alternate springs up. I hope there are no hard feelings. :)

Now, back to those who did make it....please respond asap to confirm your position in the game. I am going to be sending out some corrections/questions I have about your character sheets, and I will also create a Rogue's Gallery thread where you can post your sheet once it's approved. Unfortunately, with my business trip looming, it's going to be about a week until we can get the opening turn rolling. :(

Thanks,
Krago
 

congrats to those who made it, and thank you for the opportunity Krago. If you ever start a different game, please PM me or something. I will probably drop in every so often to see how the game is going (because I like to read PbP games).

Happy gamin'
 


William Baker

Scotley:

I need some things for William's character sheet:

1. Age, Height, Weight are needed. Alignment is also missing, but I'm presuming Lawful Good, per the rules.

2. I figure him as short 4 skill points (possibly you forgot the four bonus points awarded to humans?)

3. He needs his 2 feats added.

4. I figured his final money total as 1 gp, 3 sp, 8 cp. A lance costs 10 gp, not 8 gp.

5. Finally, would you like to designate some of his equipment to the saddle bags of his mount? If not, he is carrying a medium load, and incurs the associated movement penalty, etc. Please let me know what, if any, equipment he puts in the saddlebags.

That's it! Please revise his sheet with the above issues, and he'll be good to go. :)

Thanks!
Krago

Eliara Treesong

Krug:

For Eliara's sheet, I noticed the following:

1. Her ability scores add up to a 30 point buy, not 28. This is based on the wood elf's ability modifiers of +2 STR, +2 DEX, -2 CON, -2 INT, so let me know if you agree/disagree.

2. She can have two more known languages for her INT bonus.

3. I figured final wealth as 31 gp, 8 sp (because her starting Traveller's Outfit is free).

That's it, everything else looked good (pending a correction of ability scores).

Please submit a revised character sheet for final approval.

Thanks!
Krago
