Hello peoples!
I guess this is me fumbling around eagerly to introduce myself to the group ( 2.30 am my time) as the new rogue.
At the moment I haven't worked on my character concept at all, as I only read HM's invite into the group a few hours ago. I know I should be waiting on the edge of a fire forest ... but I don't mid if someone wants to throw out a hook into their own back story to help me hook into the group more easily.
I'll try and work on my character tomorrow afternoon and get a build up asap. I'm very open to suggestions from anyone. I've only been reading the PF rules for about ... a week? ... now, so, I'm still pretty sketchy. I hope my learning curb isn't too slow for anyone, and any help is appreciated to help get me up to speed.
I'm thinking an elf rogue at the moment. Although I do really like to play humans. Anyway, I'll look at the rules more closely tomorrow and try and get creative.

Welcome jbear
no problems this end we are still in a little wrapping up spot and need to divide up gear and then we are set.
So in pbp terms that means this weekend next latest.
Rogue concept? Sorry I am drawing a blank - all I know is trapspotter is a good talent (specially in the pbp world).

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems we've pretty well settled on what will happen with the items. We're taking the valuable stuff to sell later (marked in one of Songdragon's posts) and ditching the rest. Marda may be using the warhammer, depending on Cyrstin's response, and I/Barrik will be wearing the studded leather (why not?).
Welcome!
Marda, Aaron or Fantalass would probably be your best bet for a reasonable link. And even then, it's a little tenuous, especially with the first two (having just come from Gate Pass and members of the Resistance, yadda yadda), while Fantalass isn't exactly the most-talkative person.
It might be possible to link you with my character, Barrik (the half-orc summoner), but again, it would be a little odd. The way I've written Barrik up is being something of an outsider, like most half-orcs. Except instead of crushing people's skulls in retaliation, he sets summoned hounds on them.
Still, you could possibly be an acquaintance... I suppose it would be better than happenstance (which, incidentally, I hate as a reason for a character to join the group).Well, how much do you know about 3.5? If you know 3.5, you know most of PF. If not, this may take some work.
Anyways, I suggest this: get a concept in mind... and don't get creative about it - just voice it (if you want suggestions and assistance) and make it work. Don't try fiddling around with all the little knick-knacks until you are more comfortable with the system and really comfortable about branching out. Keep it simple and manageable, until you have more know-how. And until (and even when) you have that know-how, don't be afraid to ask questions.
If the above paragraph comes off as dour, please look at it as a voice of experience. I've seen too many fresh players jump in the river, both feet first, then be overwhelmed and drown.
(Of course, if you already know 3.5, then you won't be in such deep water.)
Again, welcome.

Right a little RP left. Just wanted to give FtF a chance to post then will have the group gather in the house head off to bed and wake to set out for the fire forest in the morning.
As to the equipment - posting what you wish to do is fine but no one has said yeah or nay to Songdragon's post or updated their equipment (except Songdragon).
Equipment is very important in the up coming adventure as there will be no trip to market. Even though this is a wilderness type adventure Survival checks will be near impossible and when things are used up they will be hard to replace.
So really need everyone to update equipment - there are links to treasure found on page one of the IC - And to update their sheets and we will be ready to go.

Okay, I'll take on board your advice.
Yeah, I've played 3.5 so PF isn't unfamiliar at all, but I'm rusty, let's say.
I've made a wizard recently for LPF. A rogue seems quite a bit simpler.
In theory, couldn't I have also escaped Gate Pass as well? Perhaps also associated with resistence somehow? Or maybe just s cowardly rogue who sense of self preservation made him flee ... only to find his only road to freedom lead to a dead end at the fire forest.
Anyway, I'll see what I come up with.

Heya jbear...
Had a post done up last night going into a little bit of explanation of the group, but then a kidling happened and ENword throwing a fit this morning.
So firstly... I did not know we need another player. That said, if HM can handle 6 PCs and 2 NPCs then hey, I have no problem with it at all. More RPing opportunities.
The group...
Aaron (human/male Inquisitor) Aaron's from Gate Pass, he is a devout follower of Gracenyes (goddess of Rulership), and has been a long time friend of Marda.
Shade (elven/female Rogue) She is from the eleven nation with a large chip on her shoulder and some vulgar language and opinions to back it up. she is the sneaky one and such.
Barrik (half-orc/ male Summoner) He is an outsider who uses his summoned beasts for his dirty work. He will often run into battle the same as anyone else with his falchion cutting down the baddies.
Fantalass (elven/male) Wizard of little words. He is very knowledgeable in magics. Seems mroe then willing to take the fight to the bad guys.
Marda (dwarven/female Cleric/Fighter) From Gate Pass, family was part of the resistance, she joined up as the Rageisans returend with force to Gate Pass. She is a cleric of Gracenyes as well, and is good friends with Aaorn.
Torrent[ (NPC)(human/female Fighter/Cleric) Cleric of Zinnastine (water aspect is top with her) She is the resistance, and has battled foes with us since Gate Pass as we flee for a magic school in Lyceum.
Cyrstin (NPC)(human/female sorcerer) Just encountered here outside the burning forrest with her father who refused to leave, even with the Rageian coming. Her father Haddin died in the attack. She is a seer, who revives visions of what is to come.
Sums us up at present. We seems to have all the main roles covered, so you do not have to fill one. Several different classes would be nice additions. If you need any help with character options, let us know. Easy options from my experience are Fighters, Rangers, and Rogues. They do not have the spell lists and such to get into, but all three can easily be made as more complicated as you want.

Also has a secret mission (part of the reason he isn't that talkative, but had already some argument with Aaron. He is a bit in the middle between Marda's holy goodness and Shade's attitude.

Okay, so I've posted a character that I hope will be able to fit into the group when you arrive at the fire forest. i posted it on the character creation link you sent me in the private message HM.
Basically the idea is the following:
The Cursed One aka Spirit: A halfling rogue 2/oracle 1 who is haunted by mischievous spirits (oracles curse). Having left the big city leaving false accusations of fault at the death of his beloved by cowardly and scheming rivals at his guild, he has sought to understand the nature of the spirits that have haunted him since birth. He has lived for a good while now on the edge of the fire forest, convinced that great spirits live within. Finally his patience has been met with reward, gaining molten skin (Flame Mystery Revelation) to resist fire and be able to venture further into the forest from the edge on occaisions. He is also learning to gain the aid of the mischievous spirits that haunt him (orisons) and some even respond protecting him, healing and blessing him with power (sponataneous spells). His sadness at the loss of his love has begun to fade as he has learnt these things, in its place grows lonliness. He craves the company of another living being, not just spirits. He longs to know friendship again, to be named again. This is when he would come across the PCs about to cross through the forest.
As far as deity's go, which one is related to Luck, if any? Otherwise maybe Quimorel, god of Dreams would fit okay I think.
I didn't realise there were 6 players. I had understood you'd lost the rogue. Maybe I misunderstood. It's not too late for me not to join the campaign, no harm done.
HM, I just saw how you generate stats . I had used the point buy method and the MAX HP-2 method for HP as per LPF creation rules.
Okay I would distribute my rolls like so:
STR 4d6
CON 4d6
DEX 7d6
INT 5d6
WIS 3d6
CAR 5d6
what was the secret command word ....
Ready FOR EDITING! GO GO GADGET LEGS! ... err ... can't remember but I'm fine with the above, I'm pretty sure the results will be similar or higher than point buy system. Fingers crossed!
EDIT: EDITING COMPLETE PLEASE ROLL MY STATS NOW HM
