This first post will be out of character info about the campaign, a link to the dm's copy of the events each week (or another thread should he decide to use the roll20 in-game forum.).
So to start this is a run-through of the Shattered Star Pathfinder AP. I'm Zombi and I'm playing as Elias Hyde, a mesmerist with no lack of flair for the dramatic.Dabbler in the mystical arts, Master of the occult, Slayer of gods, Connoisseur of the finer things in life, Wooer of Queens, The Man, The Myth, The Legend, Hero, Champion, Double Super Duper Hero, Champion of the 19 Isles of the Wind, King of Northern Southton, Consort of the Court of the Flies, Winner of the World Lemon Eater Championships, Queen of the Planet of the Winged Dogbats, Flyer in the Legion of Winged Great Old Ones, HERO, Scholar, Author, Salesman, Conman, Trickster, King of Tyaan Xya
Elias Hyde (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=989145)
(Rakshasa-Spawn) Tiefling Mesmerist 1
STR 10, DEX 16, CON 14, INT 14, WIS 6, CHA 17
Feats: Fiendish Heritage,
Relevant Skills - Bluff +8, Diplomacy +7 (+9 with locket for hypnosis), Disguise +9, Knowledges Arcana and Local Only so far +8/+6, Linguistics +6, Perception -2, Perform: Spiritualism/BS +7, Sense Motive +0, Sleight of Hand +7, Spellcraft +6
Elias is thin and rather underweight for someone so tall. He seems fairly normal til you get closer and notice the tigrine tail and weird patches of black fur easily confused for makeup around his eyes at a distance and the weird slightly fuzzy angular ears, and the piercing greenish-yellow eyes. Actually Elias really looks pretty unusual he has a lot of very visible signs of his heritage.
Alandra (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=989275) - Aasimar Cleric of Sarenrae 1
Bellamy - Halfling Unchained Rogue 1
Ruby and Sapphire - Half-Elf Unchained Summoner and Her Azata Eidolon 1
Raxion The Great - Half-Orc Fighter (armor master) 1
At this point on the rest of this will be mostly written from an in character perspective. Assume that most everything will be largely lies. I also will post a quick bullet points each post with truthful records of events. OOC will be in parentheses and italics
I was born 40 years ago in Far-off Tian Xia (or Tyaan Xya which is how I wrote it in my best selling book Meeting My Ancestors: A Treatise on the Nature of Life Beyond Life [Signed of Course]). In my youth I studied the mystical shamanic arts under Sensei (Sensae) Dan. Anyone else claiming to be from Tyaan Xya who looks fully human is totally lying or of weak blood, anyone actually from there has weird patches of fur and black hair around their eyes and ears which are vaguely angular like me. Trust Me. It was decided that someone needed to bring the great true magical knowledge to the ignorant peasants of Avistan who still believe in divine and arcane magic as the strongest resource rather than the true power inside each of us all. I've been wandering the Inner Sea sharing philosophy and putting on demonstrations. But now an opportunity has arisen for an even more glorious demonstration of the power of real magic.
I was one of the hundreds of tieflings that are abandoned early enough in life to not actually know their real age. I don't know my parents, don't quite get the attachment people have to family, Friends are where its at but after making a few people rather upset in Korvosa, I've had to move my game elsewhere. In terms of my youthful years, I did indeed study under Sensei Dan but he was just a rather skilled human of mixed heritage who taught me a few tricks about how people can and do see the world, by manipulating people in just the right way you can get whatever you want and need but always exercise caution to ensure you watch your own view of the world or you may find yourself being conned in response. I've made a living in several cities in Varisia though often not for more than a few years before moving on. I need to find a new line of work because pulling the same con has started to stop working, trying to gather enough people either genuinely likely to follow the hand I want them to because they think they are supposed, or who those I can fool into not noticing the trick has become harder and harder. At this point I'm dialing my act in having become so practiced at certain portions that even if someone were paying close attention to what they aren't supposed to they might not catch me but I want to do or be something more, I want more out of life than haggling for a room to have a show to earn the money to rent the room all week to put on more shows so I can eat and sleep and maybe get a bath for once.
Elias hails from Korsova but has travelled Varisia quite extensively. He is also an (Self)acclaimed author of the influential book: Meeting My Ancestors, A Treatise of Life beyond Life and has recently been trying to decide what to write next to follow up on the immense success of selling like 2 copies of MMA:AToLbL of the 5 copies in existence. After a demonstration went poorly due to scarzani showing up to break it up and Elias being forced to exit out the second floor window only to be caught by what is clearly an angel (Ruby's Eidolon Sapphire). Ruby shared what knowledge she had of a job opportunity though I also received an invitation to visit the pathfinder society lodge.
(So basically me and ruby's player were bored in the days/week leading up to the session so we did some background rping which is where part of the above comes from. One thing I thought was funny was that we have an exchange where her eidolon catches me and then the two decide to save me from myself and run off down a side street (as a follower of sarenrae believing that a even a wayward cat like me can be redeemed.) and then asking me where to stay. I respond with about a paragraph of text and then the first line he posts in his response is that his eidolon sets me down. So I then had in my head this glorious image of Elias Diving headlong out a window and just landling sidelong in the arms of an angel woman who double-takes looks at her companion and then they both run away still holding me as I just relax and go along for the ride. I just imagine me lounging being carried before finally after having a short conversation the angel motions for me to stand up on my own power.
