Are HP max at first level. Do we use the standard prices for equipping our starting characters? What is the alignment limits? Are we doing EXP by points or by assignment per level.

Hello all!
IMHO I am of the mind we should all work out our characters together as the group if we are going to invest care and comradarie between them.

Sounds good Equinox.
I have a female Half-Elf Cleric of Doncar (Revelation Domain) that is a bounty hunter. Soon will have more posted. Party has at least one healer.Wonder if starting land is party decided or has our GM placed us?
Oh, Can Semac have a single room house with half the roof missing? Otherwise a reck to live in. Saves on rent.

Hey folks! I'm excited for this campaign - it checks all the right boxes for me.
IMHO I am of the mind we should all work out our characters together as the group if we are going to invest care and comradarie between them.Agreed entirely!
I'm very, very flexible on my character concept at this point, especially as we determine group composition.
Loose concept currently in mind: human investigator who uses his skills to help bring change in a dark and dreary world.
My immediate thought of an investigator is someone who solves mysteries. While that might certainly come up, I am thinking the reverse is also fitting - setting up plots and intrigue to bring down corrupt officials, inciting unrest, etc.

Hey, excited to play with y'all!
Looking at the concepts so far, I would be happy to fill any role that is needed.
That said, my first thought is something rogue-ish. Perhaps a man that is willing to do the dirty work for C1NDER's investigator, working from the shadows, proud to be the one who is not afraid to get his hands dirty?
Happy to adapt that in any way that the group needs/finds more fun.

My character is at this point a complete and open prospect. I have no preconceived idea. I do, however, have a few classes and races that I find least to my liking as a player and will try to avoid those if possible in my decision making.
Given the thoughts of everyone else above, looks like you may need some muscle or magic? Perhaps a Magus or an ex-gladiator type.

GeneCortess's Cleric will be a great fit with any other party composition.
An Investigator does have a lot of rogue-like qualities (they're a hybrid of Alchemist and Rogue). I would play it less like Sherlock Holmes and more towards subterfuge.
I've also wanted to try playing an Arcanist for quite some time and would 100% on board to try that, if seifi wants to play something rogue-ish, to round us out with a caster.
Equinox - Magus is always a fun class. If you'd rather play something with less of a physical bend, I can fill that role with a classic Ranger or maybe a Hunter.

To answer a couple of questions: Max HP first level, standard starting gold and purchase at full price from the rulebooks (stuff ain't cheap in South Reach). I have no listed alignment restrictions - just play a character that fits the theme of the game and will work with the group. Levels will be by XP, probably on the Fast progression since PbP tends to be slow already.
A note on XP: Since this should be a fairly combat-light game I'll be skewing XP awards heavily towards achieving goals and roleplaying. I will also be awarding each character the same XP - to keep everyone at the same level - so helping another character accomplish their personal goals can help the whole party.
We'll be starting in a small town in South Reach called Ember. Details are sparse on the town so far, so if there's anything that you need to fit your character we can make it happen. Specific NPCs, businesses, nearby geographic features, etc.

I think I am going with a Magus (Eldritch Scion) for class. Bloodline not yet settled on.
I am a bit confused on divine Powers that we may worship, as I was under the impression from PM conversations with our GM that there were none and Clerics believed in concepts instead of actual gods.
@GeneCortess, What do we know about Doncar?
My immediate thoughts are in the development of my character and should any of the rest of us have an interest in following in this same belief. Also, Eldritch Scions have a Bloodline option as Celestial., Giving them connections to angelic blood.
@ThatOneDM, Are we using Traits and, if so, how many? Drawbacks?

Semac: Female Half-Elven Cleric of Greater Deity Doncore The Cleansing Light (Revelation Domain) that is a bounty hunter (probably going to be EX one too). She is open for cross character history.
Semac went with 2 traits standard and no drawbacks. (Elven Reflexes (Half-Elf) & Ear for Music). She took Improved Initiative for her level 1 feat. She reacts very fast and likes to sing.
If you're interested the MADE-UP Deity Doncore. It is below. Semac originally learned of the Deity, Doncore, from an ancient text she discovered. She felt a force with reading and became a priest of Doncore. She may very well be the only priest of Doncore in existence here.
Semac just needs level 1 spells, equipment, 3 extra languages, and of course more HISTORY (Forever Job). Everything else is done on her. Need thoughts on Languages.Description: Semac is five feet 5 inches tall and lean. She looks to be in he twenties. She isn't top heavy at all and has just enough to tell you she is female. She isn't really very attractive. Her skin is slightly to the pale side and she has shoulder length red hair. All that clashes with her light emerald green eyes. She has the classic pointed ears. She doesn't sport any tattoos or scars.

Doncore Greater Deity: The Cleansing Light
Holy Symbol: Crossed Scimitars
Alignment: Neutral Good
Areas of Concern: Sun, Redemption, Healing, Glory
Worshipers: Healers, Farmers, Redeemed Evil-Doers
Domains: Fire, Glory, Good, Healing, Sun
Subdomains: Agathion, Day, Heroism, Light, (Redemption), Restoration, Resurrection, (Revelation)
Favored Weapon: Scimitar
Sacred Animal: Dove
Sacred Colors: Blue, gold
Appearance: Doncore manifests as a bronze angelic beauty with golden hair composed of flowing flame. She emits a holy light which trickles down like liquid luminescence from one hand, while the other holds a scimitar emblazoned with radiant fire. Her holy light provides healing and sustenance, while the scimitar creates gusts of winds that remove disease and fear.
While Doncore believes in redemption, she understands that certain beings are irredeemable.
Providence: Doncore shows her approval by sending doves. She indicates her disfavor through unexplained sunburns or blindness that can last from minutes for minor transgressions to an entire lifetime for the worst offenses.
Servants: Doncore has numerous angelic servants.
Church of Doncore: The church of Doncore is mostly composed of altruistic priests who are also ready to be stern should it be warranted. The church is known for blessing crops, healing the sick, and reforming criminals and evil doers. They are often consulted to solve feuds and disputes among neighbors and families.
Kind and caring halflings often worship Doncore, tending to the sick and elderly. Rarely, a halfling may be born with red hair and, as this is seen by halflings as a sign from the goddess, these halflings are expected to become part of Doncore's clergy.
Knights of Doncore identify themselves by wearing white scarves around their helms and wielding the scimitar. They are willing to offer mercy to those enemies who seek absolution and renounce evil.
A large portion of Doncore's priests are composed of clerics, but within their ranks are also paladins and rangers, as well as a few druids and bards. Some priests work as personal retainers or healers for the wealthy, while others survive on assistance from congregational worshipers. A common form of worship by priests is to awaken with the dawn and give thanks and praise to the rising sun. The scimitar is a favored weapon and its use is held in high regard, and it is often decorated with sunburst images in red and gold. In battle, Doncore's clerics become dervishes, ready to destroy irredeemable corruption. Formal raiments include a long white chasuble and tunic with red and gold decorations depicting the sun. Worship leaders often wear a golden crown topped by a red-gold sunburst.
Temples and shrines: The main temples of Doncore are open-air buildings, although side buildings have ceilings. Many have brass or gold mirrors that refocus the sunlight on the main altar. Priests often travel from one temple to the next. Church services are held outdoors and are joyous affairs that feature singing, dancing, and music.
Holy texts: The Birth of Light and Truth is the principal holy book of Doncore. It is customary for every owner of this book to inscribe her own uplifting stories in the last few blank pages, so that they can be recounted to others later.
Holidays: The most commonly celebrated holidays celebrated by the followers of Doncore are Burning Blades on the 10th of Sarenith, and the Sunwrought Festival, held on the summer solstice. The month of Sarenith is named in her honor.
Favored animals: Gods are often associated with certain animals, either because they possess a quality favored by the god, or because the god's faithful feel a special kinship to them. Doncore's favored animals include the dove, the falcon, and basking lizards.

Alrighty, so we have:
- Half-elf Cleric (GeneCortess)
- Eldritch Scion Magus (Equinox)
This gives us a divine magic, some melee, and some arcane magic.
Way I see it, we certainly would benefit from a rogue-ish support and/or 'face' character. The last slot could be almost anything - full martial, full caster, or another strong support.
@seifi Are you still wanting to lean towards a rogue-ish type? If so, I'll fill in that last slot with something other than Investigator (probably an Arcanist).

Looking at the group composition and the setting, I am also thinking of a cavalier perhaps? I feel it could fit nicely with the party composition (and the story we are probably trying to build), but I am not that well versed in PF1E, so feel free to steer me in the right direction!

All cool Equinox. Just putting that out for any that wish to cross history. I generally don't but this game is distinctly party ordinated and I'm unsure if the GM is going to do "get the party together stuff". Lots of dice rolls there Equinox. Yeah I spend days making characters. Usually the bulk is done fast, but finishing up takes much longer. Still have 3 languages now and history to do.
Jun 8, 2022 9:13 pm
@GeneCortess,
She's half-elven. So, as far as languages she already has Common and Elven. As a Cleric, she might consider Celestial.

@Equinox, What Deity or such did you decide on?
Celestial does sound interesting. So does Orc and possibly troll for different lands. Haven't done anything in concrete yet.
I haven't yet really decided on what part the elf side is on Semac being half elf. I'm sure she isn't part drow. Haven't really touched on her family history yet. I'm sure currently she doesn't associate with them. She is a rather free bird.

@GeneCortess, My PC was born in a ruined temple. This could have been to Doncore or other lost to our memory. She has angelic blood (I am thinking an azata to explain her looks and those half-elf looking ears).
*Haven't quite settled on her name yet, but that's what I am using as her working name for now.
Openings for inter-connections as of the moment (these can be PCs or NPCs):
Companion - Her grandfather and theirs adventured together. May have both fought in the last war..and lost. She has known this person for approximately twelve years now.
Romantic Interest - Within the last three or four years, they have had a rather loose and casual relationship. Could turn serious at some point or not. Either gender.
Servant/Life bond - Within the last several years she has saved someone's life and they now travel with and associate with her, considering her saving them that they owe her their life.

@Equinox,
Funny you should mention being born in a ruined temple. I thought about asking the GM for a ruined temple but instead went for a mess of a 1 room house instead.
Romantic Interest strikes me the best. Perhaps we both were after the same guy (competition) and he left us both high and dry, but a friendshiop developed. Semac is social.
Part of Semac history I just really did in the last hour.

[ +- ] Part of Semac History
Semac's human father tried his best to teach Semac the elven way including teaching her elven. Someday they dreamed of going to the elven lands. Her mother disappeared shortly after birth and was never to be seen or heard from again. Semac did have a younger sister from her father new mother. The new mother just disappeared one day. Just as well as family life was a mess. Unfortunately her younger sister vanished one day and a dead body was found. Her father was in grief mostly and one day vanished. So right now Semac has no real family to speak of.

No idea who this prince charming was. Semac isn't great looking so she when she spots what she wanted, she goes all out. And all out is what she got. But at least she a friend. Back then she was a bounty hunter. Another piece of history. Semac is not a rich girl, but rather much a poor one.

She is now an ex-bounty hunter. Seeing those she brought in just get out free and other that have been taken has very brought distaste to her. The corruption just got too much for her. She is now Ala-Cart and not on the general ranks. No pay no job. She still has many friends there but they all know she just can't handle bring in and watching it go any more.

As to what lured poor Semac with this prince charming is that he could sing. And so can Semac.

[ +- ] Semac singing history
Semac is a bit of a songbird. She has always gone to place where they had singer present. It was something she did a lot in her youth, but now it is just something she can do. Once in a while she just like to sing and let it all out. Many of those places she was at probably remember her as she is rather recognizable with her red hair and elvish ears.

Let's all keep in mind, as we are thinking on the situations in Ember, that the region is ruled by an undead overlord who taxes the common people to starvation and takes folks to be slaves and sacrifices. We should consider some kind of hideout, if Ember is our base of operation and nightlife is likely done in hidden 'speakeasies'. There are also, maybe an underground with bunker-like hideaways to hide and keep safe individuals when the slavers and cultists come calling.

Sorry for taking a minute to reply - I've been pretty busy the last few days.
In general, divine power is coming from ideals rather than deities - but I have left it open for characters to worship "lost" gods. These are deities revered by Old Cathalia but long since forgotten and their worship stamped out. There are no temples left and their reach is limited. But the knowledge of them is not entirely lost.
As far as starting point, we will begin in a small town in South Reach called Ember. There will be an initial scene to introduce the characters to each other - but I'm happy to have pre-existing relationships at play.

Today has been crazy busy, but I got most of my character built.
A couple minor changes - I'm going Half-Elf instead of Human, and dipping Inspired Blade Swashbuckler at lvl1, then will be going Empiricist Investigator lvl2 +
The swashbuckler dip gets me some handy Panache stuff and basically squares away all my melee features with a rapier (dex to attack amd dmg, weapon focus). After that, everything on investigator will be focused on knowledge/face skills and alchemy infusions.
As for the man himself, I'm still working on a name. I originally considered playing him as a Vigilante class but decided I would just use that for inspiration.
Some background - He is the second son of a noble family. Like many nobles in this land, he grew up amongst hedonism, pride, and cruelty. He found instead that he had a great deal of empathy for others and what started as depression became determination as he entered his teenage years.
Incredibly bright for his age, he used his family's resources to learn, learn, learn. He sought the histories and treatises on politics for any way to create change in this shit-stained world.
He came to one conclusion - that change must come from outside the nobility. Instead, as he was being sent off to a remote academy, he abandoned his travels, took his meager belongings, and left to seek like-minded people that would work with him to make things better.
He keeps his background mostly a closely guarded secret. While he suspects his family will eventually learn what he's up to, they dont seem to have yet. He continues to send messages, feigning his studies as ongoing all the while plotting to topple everything his family lives for. They probably have a sizable amount of money being deposited into an account for him somewhere, but he has no intention of using it.
-------
I imagine his aspirations will easily find him a like mind with the others. Any thoughts on connections prior to the game opening? How might his travels intersected with yours, if so?
A couple minor changes - I'm going Half-Elf instead of Human, and dipping Inspired Blade Swashbuckler at lvl1, then will be going Empiricist Investigator lvl2 +

@C1NDER
Rather interesting there C1NDER. You have now something to work with. Rebellions type might not quite be exactly what Semac is about, but distaste of the current affairs is there. She been on the suffering side. Semac is usually rather easily to spot and locate. Especially since she takes zero efforts to really hide herself.
If one knows much about her, she can be located by asking around. Hmm. Red headed female Half-Elf that sings and is a bounty hunter.
Obviously you're not the prince charming.

@C1NDER I am fine with leaving the Investigator to you.Looking at the group composition and the setting, I am also thinking of a cavalier perhaps? I feel it could fit nicely with the party composition (and the story we are probably trying to build), but I am not that well versed in PF1E, so feel free to steer me in the right direction!
Honestly I think a cavalier would be a great addition to the game. He can help keep us mobile and the teamwork feats are great. I would maybe check with the GM to make sure we're not going to be atuck for long periods in places where mounted combat wont work, but by the sounds of it, I dont suspect that to be an issue.
The 'order' you pledge yourself to might need a little deliberation and tweaking, as there likely arent many active knightly orders with a positive bend to them in this world.

Celeste is a recognized bastard of a noble. She is the last heir of that house. Her maternal grandmother is matron of a resistance cell and the only blood relative she has left. Like your character, Celeste does not announce her noble blood and goes by her mother's surname.
Companion/Friend is still open is Celeste's relationship slots if he's interested? I have this companion as having known Celeste for the last 12-13 years. She's now 21. Oh, and this companion's ancestor (guessing father since your PC is half-elven) adventured/fought beside her paternal grandfather, maybe in the last war decades ago.

Yeah, I dig that.
My character is 23, so pretty close in age. They would have been young kids together then, forced maybe to attend the same functions and such, where they got to know each other and became friends. As they grew closer they realized they both shared similar thoughts about the world around them and confided with another. I could see them childishly plotting to change the world some day, playing at spycraft to slip letters to each other and eavesdrop on their parents conversations. Thoughts?
Is Celeste's plan to join or affiliate herself to her grandmother's resistance cell? If so, I would believe Celeste and Ianril may have conspired to get away from their families to join a common cause. The start of the game could be them reuniting after they both managed to get away, or they could have been traveling together for some time before.
And yeah, we could say his father is of Elven blood and fought alongside your grandfather.

Celeste's parents are all dead now. Her mother died in childbirth and she was raised by her grandmother. Grandmother was once a courtesan and she trained her daughter in the art, even after the fall of region to the enemy. Celeste had a half-brother who was much older, but he was killed fighting against the evil that now rules our lands. It was after his death, that her father sought her out and then officially recognized her as his child. Around eight years ago, raiders acting on orders of the undead ruler, attacked and destroyed her father's stronghold and burned the fields. Celeste is the only member of the family to have escaped.

This sets up a trio now. :)
I would put that Celeste only knows Semac say a year now after the Prince Charming situation. Hense she would also only know Ianril for the same period. Both know Semac isn't an easy pickup, but singing can lure her in.
Secmac doesn't boast any family and really never asks others about theirs. She isn't one to get in other's affairs for the most part. And in this world that tends to keep you more alive. She has made a few enemy because the corrupt system lets some of those she brought in go free. She would guess those few don't favor her too much after such.
Obviously Semac is not noble by any standard. She has lived poor all her life. She is sloppy, her clothing is ragged, and pretty much a slob as far her upkeep and appearance. Semac has no concern at all about her general appearance.
But she is a fine songbird & trusting (Just ask Prince Charming.) She doesn't sing often and has never done so for money. Quite a few people do know that she can sing. She's been drunk enough.
The only thing that she has ever been good at is Bounty Hunting. There she has left her mark is know for the fact she always brings them in alive. She does own a signet ring that proves who she is.
Personality: Surprisingly to learn that Semac despite her appearance and poor education if you can call it that, she is rather brave, intelligent, and well driven on what she does. She can be quite forceful and a bit of a pessimist. And very much Pious to her religion of Doncore.
@seifi: Hmm. What does seifi for for us? 'something rogue-ish' or 'cavalier perhaps'
Appearance: Semac looks rather ragged in her leather armor which is stained rather badly. She does sport a tarnished light steal shield on the back of her backpack which looks rather empty. She has a scimitar and dagger combo to her sides. With a waterskin over her shoulders and two belt pouches, she is good to go. A good eye would note she does have a ring on her finger. With some knowledge it would tell she is an official Bounty Hunter.
The skills Semac is best in are: Perception, Perform (Sing), Profession (Bounty Hunter), Sense Motive, & Stealth.

Settled on a cavalier then!
Based on the setting and the starting position, I guess getting a warhorse would require a noble background as well - the cavalier may thus be another young noble, satisfied with his overly hedonistic lifestyle until Ianril opened his eyes to the suffering of those below. My character would then decide to join him on his journey of setting things right.
Overcome with guilt, the cavalier would later welcome a chance to serve the lost God of Redemption, Doncore, tying things up with Semac. Perhaps she could be his spiritual guide, thus creating another reason to stick with the group? Order of the Star may thus be the right choice for the cavalier.

Now that I think of it, the cavalier may also be one of the former soldiers of house Tenavyn, forced to do unspeakable things to those whom he used to hold dear - I feel this would be a bit more fun to roleplay, as we may meet the cavalier's former "victims".
Once assigned as one of the members of Ianril's escort, he would help the young noble disappear, later on finding hope in Doncore's redeeming light.
@C1NDER how about a former bodyguard for Ianril?
@GeneCortess wanna be my spiritual guide on my path to redemption?

@seifi
Well, Semac is big on redemption as you should see in the description that I supplied for Doncore. Supposedly Semac learns of Doncore are generated from reading a comprehensive writing materials and feel of the gods influence. So there is actually nothing formal. There is no church for a forgotten Deity. Semac might even be the only follower in the lands even.
Due to her priest hold and other problems is why Semac is much a retired (EX) Bounty Hunter. She takes jobs only ala-cart.

I'm loving the world building! And having some connections between characters ahead of time will make things even better.
I'm hoping to make the first in-game post on Tuesday, June 14. Assuming everyone is ready with their characters. I'll be checking back over this weekend and looking over the characters as they get submitted. Feel free to ask any questions you might still have here or in DM.
Looking forward to this game!

Here's the birthmark idea at approximately the correct size.
This is Celeste's maternal grandmother: Dame Greta Azura

Thanks C1NDER! The actual birthmark on Celeste's neck is not as defined as the image. It is supposed to look like a cross between a star and sword, sort like a star/blaze on a horse's face.

I dig it. So Dame Greta Azura - I imagine her involvement in in any rebel groups is completely unknown to outside parties, right? Did the grandmother raise Celeste amongst the nobility as well, while also stoking and supporting the seed of rebellion within Celeste?
So, it seems Celeste and Ianril both have roots to the nobility pre-dating the current, evil rule of the region.
Semac has found the roots of an old religion that is urging her to right the wrongs set upon them by the evil ruler
Our Cavalier seeks redemption, something that Semac is big on; part of the redemption righting wrongs and ridding the land of evil?
Would perhaps seifi's cavalier and Semac have met before and be traveling together? Would he latch on to her as a sort of beacon of inspiration towards the redemption he seeks. Would the 'order' he devotes himself to be an order of his own making...an Order of Semac/Doncor?
Regardless, it seems all our characters have that overarching disposition to make the world better.

@GeneCortess I kind of doubt there would be any viable order for my cavalier setting-wise, my original thought was that my character would be Semac's first person that she (intentionally or not) converted to her faith. Perhaps he would later on even try to create such an order?
Of course, if that does not fit your vision, I can go for a different flavor, this was simply the first idea.

I had so little money, I could only really pick up the bare minimum for my character - Rapier, a handful of daggers, Leather Armor, and a Pathfinder's Kit. It works well for my idea of him eschewing the noble family he's setting aside.
I really like all the character portraits I've seen so far btw - lookin good folks!
Do we think we want to start with our characters coming together, or should we have already been traveling together for a bit?
With our Cavalier being Ianril's bodyguard/friend, running away with him, but also swearing his oath to the ideals of Semac's deity, perhaps it makes best sense that we've met up all together sometime in the recent past (like a couple months back?)

I think that we have enough stuff put out about how we all got together. I don't think filling it out to the letter is needed.
It appears to me the Semac, Celeste, Ianril, (seifi Cavalier) all are friends and know each other for at least a year or more.

Opsie. Back to Semac. :) Thanx Equinox.
Semac the slob ex-bounty hunter has a waterskin and is very much a city person, but she does have 23 precious gold coins and a Grooming Kit as well as a new silver friendship bracelet (10 gp) which she treasures. She might use the Grooming Kit is she thinks that she needs to look to impress which is just about never.
Smiles. Semac has 2 sacks and whetstone in her big huge backpack. She is after a poor girl.
GM: Never did hear about that one room building with the destroyed roof that Semac might live in.
And still need three languages to fill in too. :)
Edit: Adding a bit on Semac the slobs personality. You already know her personal habits. She perceptive and a bit of a pessimist. She can be forceful and hard-hearted. She is modest about her bounty hunting life and tends to be active and driven at most anything she does. Although rather religious (Doncore), she seem to be fine with living poor. You suspect she has never really had much of any coin.

I never concreted her languages but yes Celestial one high on the list. Might even take up Orc. Not really interested in Dwarves or Dwarvish. Still leaves me with on more language to get. (Celestial, Orc, extra) She does have common and elven.
Semac lifestyle is poor boarding on squalid. Semac is probably the poorest of the party and she lives it.
Edit: I just noticed while adding grooming Kit and silver friendship bracelet that I have marked 90gp to spend. at the bottom of my inventory. Appears I have forgotten to do that. WOOT. I like to write notes to myself. Appears she has been HOARDING away some COINS. So if anyone really needs something. Smiles. Money doesn't tend to stay with her.

@GeneCortess,
I'm not sure what our undead overlords are using, but Semac may want to take something like Infernal, Abyssal, or Undercommon so we can possibly understand what the enemies are saying behind our backs (or in front us because they don't think we understand them).

I will go with Celestial, Orc, and now Undercommon. 90gp is still up for grabs. I like to keep her to normal self and get rid of the 90gp. You would think when I had that 90gp in RED that I would notice it.
Edit: Semac really isn't that strong and if she tries to carry any more she isn't going to be moving 12'.
Edit: Make that 80gp. Semac got Celeste a matching friendship silver bracelet. (10gp) See coins go fast.

Semac runs a +1 animal handling. Probably not too thrilled with it. She doesn't do well with animals. Heck she has trouble with PEOPLE. Besides she really doesn't own anything to put on it.
80gp to give away. Anyone need anything.

I went through and accepted the characters (finally). Feel free to finish up with equipment as you have time. I will give you a heads-up that equipment may not always be easily accessible once the game starts. Common goods should be fairly, well, common. But there are no guarantees that you'll be able to find something when and where you want to find it. There will be a certain amount of scarcity in the setting (which the characters can work to offset, possibly).
Yngmar Dragontongue and his servants speak Abyssal, alongside the common tongue.
@GeneCortess Sorry that I didn't explicitly state it, but yes I am fine with Semac having the small house in Ember.
I'm planning on getting the first in-character post up later today or tonight.

Well forget undercommon and we go Abyssal. Come and eat at Semac place, you can have scant leftovers and watch the stars at the same time.
Fast sale 80gp to go.. Woot...

No idea where the GM has gone to. Semac has made her escape from the game. You all do good.

In the wake of our GM going AWOL for over a month now and flaky Semac abandoning us in the meeting hall, what do we want to do next?
I don't have the available time to run a decent game right now and have no idea where this was going if I did. It would be nice if we could recruit a GM, but I also don't want to put it out there for GC to decide to jump back in with a new GM on board (or another flaky player who doesn't understand the concept of a tight-knit group who cares about the welfare of each other).

I'd say we should probably call it a day.
The setting looked neat and I really like the group's backstory, however the first scene kind of broke the whole "we need to be careful here" vibe for me. Hopefully we will be able to revisit similar themes in the future.
Thanks for the game everyone!

I suppose that's the best course of action at this point. I had high hopes for this game, but it is what it is. I'll see you both in other games then :)
