OOC:

I've invited a new 4th (5th player), so hopefully be back to a normal party soon :)

Greetings everyone! Thanks for the invite. I am new to Pathfinder 2e and I am following the remaster book. I haven't fully gotten accustomed to the rules but I do love to learn and play more Pathfinder 2e. As for setting, I know some very basic information and the Realm of the Mammoth Lords is entirely new to me for which I am really excited to play this game. What is everyone playing as?

Artesia is a halfling cleric; a stranger to the lands of the Mammoth Lords.

We have a cleric, a druid and a summoner right now. Though thecusant who is playing the druid has also not been on in 21 days.

Very well, I am making a fighter then. I would love to read the entire post about what has been going on, but it will take time. A summary of what has happened will be really helpful. Also, do I have to make level 1 character or what level is the game currently in?

Currently Level 3.

The group is part of the Broken Mammoth following. A group that long ago broke apart from a group called the Burning Mammoths. The group started as scouts in training, mostly helping out for the annual Night of the Green Moon ritual. As the characters gather food and resources for their following and prepare for the ceremony, they discover clues that suggest their group might not be alone. Sure enough, an advance war party from a rival following disrupts the Green Moon ceremony.

They learn that their attackers are the Burning Mammoths, which hasn't been seen in over a generation. During the attack the group's rival scout, a young man named Pakano disappears.

The Broken Tusks flee the mighty Burning Mammoth following and head east. Grandfather Eiwa, the following's elder informs the characters that the nearby Red Cat Cave shelters a powerful artifact that can help the Broken Tusks. The characters explore the cave and learn from the ghost of a slain guardian beast that the artifact is gone.

The following must retrace their old route to hopefully find the artifact. They have reason to believe the artifact might lie somewhere in the mythical Lost Mammoth Valley. They have been told that the entrance is to the east.

All this is complicated by the Burning Mammoth trailing the group and they have had a few encounters with advanced scouts. From them they have learned that the Burning Mammoth is led by a woman named Ivarsa. And that Pakano has joined with them and been sent ahead for a secret mission.

Greetings and welcome! I play Koram, the summoner, and his draconic eidolon Haitith. Glad to have you aboard.

So, I watched some lore videos and downloaded the Quest for Frozen flame players guide. After watching that and going through the players guide, I find the premise very interesting. Going through the possible backgrounds, I liked the ex-Mendevian crusader but I didn't like the benefits it gave, so I went for a common background from Player core. I am thinking that my character was a blacksmith's apprentice back on Mendev who tried to help the crusaders by repairing their weapons. When they were fighting a prolonged siege, he was given a sword and a shield and sent to defend the walls. He survived that and got some more essential training, but was next sent to the battlefield. This exposed him to the horrors of the war, and he almost lost his sanity. After losing his comrades in the battle, he deserted and ran away to the realm of the Mammoth Lords. Unable to survive in the harsh weather and on the brink of death, he collapsed but was rescued by the Broken Task's Moose house, who helped him recover and heal. Now he is trying to find footing in the midst of two worlds. He yearns for modern society but is scared to go back to Mendev but he is grateful to the Broken Task. Being a blacksmith's apprentice, he has helped craft many tools for Moose house. Thoughts?

I have stated the character in Pathbuilder and I will transfer them here. Do I start with some money, or is the starting 15 gp the only thing I get?

You either get 30 gp or 20 gp and a level 1 permanent item. Not that many level 1 items to choose from, but some armors are technically level 1. So could get you a half-plate for example.

Submitted my character, Iroven Shokar.

I approved your character, and moved the game on so you have an opportunity to introduce yourself.

I'm taking a short vacation without Internet access from Wednesday, 5 June until 10 June, and will be unavailable during that time.

That's fine. I go on holiday June 8th myself, and will take me a couple of days to acclimate before I am able to post again, I'm sure :)

I have invited one more player so hopefully we're a full group again.

Hello all, I am excited to join the group.

Welcome to the game!

Welcome. I have accepted your character. Feel free to join in the current scene.

Reding the logs, it looks like we are Level 3. I will update accordingly.

So if Wipakoa teaches Iroven how to craft snare, does it mean, I have to replace one of my feat with snare crafter feat?

No. Like the other characters you will get is as a bonus feat.
