OOC - Krauss' Age of Worms Adventure Path [Full]

[hbarsquared]

I have a question I've been meaning to ask, Krauss von Espy -

I would like to have Kenneth be . . . extremely unwise. Considering you requested 32-point buy, would it be possible to have his Wis less than 8, and distribute those points with the rest of his abilities on a one-for-one basis? If not, I will go ahead and just take the penalty.

The delays aren't unwelcome, as I'm going slow currently as well.

I'll have everything ready by the weekend, I hope.

. . . and regarding who knows who for the characters . . .

I do like the idea of Kenneth knowing everyone, and of his "performing" at the Emporium. Does this overall background for each of our connections sound good?

Owen and Alexi are friends and "partners-in-crime". Owen struck up a friendship with Gregor, and introduces Alexi to him. After a scuffle, Azten healed Owen and soon became friends, as well. Majakilar and Gregor have been co-miners for years. Both know Azten, and at least one of them have been healed by Azten after a mining accident. Kenneth has spoke with everyone, either in the Emporium or when he walks the streets and visits the other establishments.

Whoever mentions the cairn to him, Kenneth will adamanetly agree, then suggest and contact the other characters.

The other way around.

Agreed. I've got it so that Alexi is the first of the group that Gregor knows and it is through her that he meets the others.

 

[Azten]

Sounds good to me too.

Okay, great. Everything else sound good/make sense?

 

[Mista Collins]

Agreed. I've got it so that Alexi is the first of the group that Gregor knows and it is through her that he meets the others.

Yup, Alexi knew Gregor and introduced him to me. And if I recall over heard a mention of the cairn the other adventuring group was going to explore, and mentioned it to Owen, and I know of the Whispering Cairn and the abandoned mine overseer's office. So I figure I could have informed Alexi of that part of it and she then got a hold of you about everything.

I am really looking forward to this.

I like the point that Azten would have met Gregor before, even briefly, and have had some opportunity to get over a bit of his dwarven anti-Giant racial prejudice. If he healed Gregor then he'd most likely have had reason to be favorable to the giant. Perhaps Gregor was injured saving/rescuing a fellow miner at some risk to himself?

Besides - I dislike playing interPC conflict, especially when starting out.

Well, a little bit of conflict is always fun.

On that note, I would like to mention that in the upcoming campaign, I was hoping to play Kenneth a certain way, and I wanted to check with you guys first to make sure everyone would be okay with it.

Kenneth is smart and charismatic, but thinks he's smarter and more charismatic than he actually is. He's always honest, but might exaggerate his knowledge, make wrong interpretations, and oftentimes miss the point. He won't really do anything stupid, but might say plenty of stupid things. Feel free to roleplay groans, sighs and rolling of eyes.

Hopefully, though, he'll contribute plenty of useful insights and have opportunities to help the party. He might needlessly relate an epic tale about a magic item found. But that tale might include a line or two that helps identitfy the item's properties, without Kenneth realizing it (although another character would). Or, expounding on the fascinating properties or nuances of a puzzle, inadvertantly give a clue as to the solution.

So, now that I have imitated Kenneth in giving a longwinded explanation for a truly simple concept, if you guys don't like this idea, or get tired of my posts, please let me know and I will tone it back a bit.
