The dwarf is snoring

You can barely make out a low buzzing coming from the other side of the door.

You discover the door is locked

You make your way towards the stairwell that leads to the guest rooms above. The wooden floorboards creak under your feet as you ascend, the sound blending with the murmur of conversation and dishes below. Upon reaching the landing, you navigate a narrow hallway lined with doors, each bearing a bra...

At first appearing reticent to reveal the location of one of his client's rooms, Rollo pauses a moment before relenting. “Master Ecmund is staying in room 6. He has been here three nights now.”

He then starts looking around for Rirrinishk, who, last night, had shouted Ecmund’s name from across the room. The dining room of The Canopy's Rest is sparsely populated this morning. A quick look at the morning's patrons does not turn up Rirrinishk. I wonder where Plumed Dwarf hides... He mumbles ...

You wander for a while, but there don't seem to be any other Amurrun in today, and you don't notice anyone talking about Ecmund Swiftstout. Ecmund has procured private rooms for each of you, and you each gradually make your way to bed and sleep soundly. Nothing of note happens during the night, and...

You find a table with three gnomes seated. They introduce themselves as Tink, Mira, and Thistle. As you talk with them (well, mostly Mira, who seems to love the sound of her own voice, you learn about some of the dangers that can be found in the nearby jungle, such as poisonous castor beans, deadly...

Ecmund finishes retreating to the other side of the inn, quickly lost amongst the crowd, and you are now left to your own devices. I'm going to step back a little at this point narratively. Feel free to have your characters get to know each other, or you can try and learn more about what is coming a...

You recall that the Giant Pangolin is common to the Jungles of The Mwangi Expanse. They are large, smelly anteaters that can roll up to defend themselves. Their thick scales make them difficult to hunt, but are also highly valued for alchemy, folk medicine and crafting - which makes them targets of...

I want to publish my own books on jungle exploration. Ecmund taps his copy of Justinian’s Jungle to emphasize this, I believe that there are Jungle Farms from the former nation Yamasa that are still thriving deep in the jungle, and I would like explore these and write a book about them. As to how f...

Ecmund looks intrigued. Ooh, telekinesis, eh? I’m sure you’ll have some fascinating stories to tell while we are out! Looking Tover over, Ecmund declares, You certainly cut an intimidating figure! I bet even the average Orc gives you a wide a berth, seemingly forgetting for a moment the presence of ...

Ecmund joyfully take Arkyat’s large hand and says, Oh, jolly good! Most glad to make your acquaintance, Master Arkyat! He returns Victor’s bow with one of his own, You look to be well suited for this work. The dwarf grins at Pixel, though not his face doesn’t allow as large a grin as Pixel’s. You ar...

You huddle together in the scant shelter provided by the collapsed tower, Pixel lighting fire to some gathered driftwood. The wet wood smokes, causing you to choke as you unfurl the map, but at least it provides warmth. The map is not very detailed, but the directions to an inn called The Canopy’s ...

OUT OF CHARACTER

was there other passengers? Did most go in the same general direction until we lost sight of them?

 

OUT OF CHARACTER

The other passengers were merchants, who are currently working to get their merchandise off the ship.

 

Captain Serphina must love punctuality, because exactly 15 minutes later the ship finishes docking and the five of you gratefully disembark for “dry” land. Casting their eyes about, Inva spots a partially collapsed stone structure nearby. Its weathered walls and crumbling pillars hint at it former g...

Pixel examines the city as the ship draws closer. Pondering a moment he states : Hmm no farmland. Fruits & Veggies costly here. Fishies, not so much! he smiles at his brilliant analysis, and wondering how good the Fish would be here. Doubt then clouds his face; Any fishing boats here? he ponder...

The city looms large now, and your ship - the “Storm’s Edge” - will be docking soon. Hyrantam stretches before you, the once great city mostly underwater now, all that is left of its ancient buildings being the tops of massive towers. The residents have been resilient though, and have turned these ...

What about the mother? Karil Swiftstout used the Pathfinder Society to arrange your contract, transportation, and pay for this mission remotely. She is at home in an Inner Sea country far from the Sodden Lands. (Boy, it sure feels like I missed communicating quite a bit here. Sorry.) Anyone who wou...

Just an FYI and question. One of Victor's main abilities depends on initiative order. Will we be aware of our PC initiative orders or are we going to play that they are fungible within the before/after NPC initiative position? I was going to run combat the same way admin ran combat in the Whitefang...

https://i.imgur.com/ixX6IPF.jpg Amidst the tumultuous seas of the Eye of Abendego, where tempests rage unrelenting, and the remnants of a once-great city rise from the depths like specters of a forgotten past, our tale begins. Welcome, brave adventurers, to the treacherous yet captivating Sodden La...

How much backstory do you want/need? And when? Do you want to give us the recruitment scene and then let us work within that or do you want well-fleshed characters first? Backstory can be as detailed (or not) as you like. I'm planning on beginning the story on the ship headed to town. Everyone will...

Sorry about that this is only the second PF2 character i have ever made. Yes the Arcane sense was that issue im guessing i will edit that to have Quick Squeeze. As for the Dhampir trait i have no clue except it might have been a left over from when i was looking at what it might give me before i to...

Just posted Inva hope i got everything correct I have taken a look at Inva. There are a couple things I don't understand. You have taken the Skill Feat Arcane Sense, but I'm not seeing what gives you this Feat. You have put down the Dhampir Trait, but I don't know what is giving you this trait eith...

That sucks, man. Take some time to grieve. There's no rush on this.

Jinx, It looks to me like Arkyat is trained in an extra skill. I see: Heritage: Intimidation Background: Survival Class: Arcana Nature Occultism Religion Additional Skills: 3 + Int Mod (+0) = 3 Medicine Diplomacy Deception Athletics What am I missing that is giving you that 4th additional skill?
