The Lost Mine of Harkenwold (PF2e) - (CLOSED)

[Revelation]

Possibly just system games in general. Elliquiy has had a lack of them lately.

[Isengrad]

I have noticed that.

[Xurtan]

Debating adding my name to the hat as well. I might play around with some options in the builder...

Do it!

This is amazing.

There's literally enough interest for three games!

P2e is a super fun, super solid system.  With the missteps Hasbro/WotC has made of late, Pathfinder is a little more part of the zeitgeist.  It's possibly on a lot more people's radar. 

[Ershin]

Holy... I turn my back because of work for like ten minutes and this is flooded! Y'alls ain't just hungry for content you're thirsty. You're not going to make it easy for me when it comes time to pick and choose ._.
(Not discouraging more entries though <3 )

[c0i9z]

I definitely like the multiclass system. Simultaneously more attractive to anyone who wants to go all the way with their class and gets away from the kind of abuse we saw in other places. Plus, a bunch of prestige class equivalents. Though I kinda think that needing a useful action for movement is going backwards.

[Grizzly]

I'm going to mark my interest here.  Been looking to play some PF2e.

Sooo many good submissions so far.    :)

[Xurtan]

Name: Field Medic "Jaz" Jazk Iuccagra, reporting for duty!

Ancestry/Class: Lizardfolk Cleric

Sex/Gender: Male

Kinks: Interested in males, more monstrous or more human are both fine. Tends to be top/dominant, enjoys being serviced and marking people via bites/scent/cum, etc.

Brief Description: Standing at seven feet tall and relatively muscular for his species, Jaz strikes something of an imposing visage. It doesn't help that he's angel-touched, often having a literal halo shining atop his head. It makes for a field medic with a tendency to stand out regardless of what he wants, and it's as much of a boon as it is a curse. He spent time in the military, saw war, saw friends die--many he couldn't save, despite his best efforts. These days he's trying to stay away from such things and live a more peaceful life. His personality can come off as stern, but despite the gruff attitude he has a caring heart and can't leave trouble behind if he's able to help. 

What are you doing in the Nentir Vale?: Wanting a more peaceful life, he's taken to wandering and finding odd jobs in the more peaceful areas. Despite that, Jaz seems to keep finding trouble. When he was in the area and heard about banditry and monster sightings being on the rise, he couldn't keep himself from volunteering. Once a medic, always a medic.

Who do you know here?: He has a couple of old war buddies that retired in the area to become farmers, he has plans to check in on them.

Familiarity With PF2e: Decent. Played in a game for a few months, but that was awhile ago so I'll probably be looking some things up as I go.

Do you have any phobias you’d prefer to appear in well-marked spoilers?: Nope, I'm good.

How Often Do You Elliquiy?: I tend to at least check it daily.

[Hexed]

Name: Sekko
Ancestry/Class: Kobold Sorcerer
Sex/Gender: Female
Kinks: Bisexual and fine with humanoid or monster partners that aren't bugs. She's willing to try almost anything that didn't involve a toilet with a fondness for groups and bondage.
Brief Description: An oddity of a little kobold with bluish purple hide coated in black scales and several bioluminescent patches. Further compounding her oddness is some rather unlizardish curves that her somewhat ragged garb seems to expose.

She is proud and boastful with a firm belief that as a dragon power is hers by right. She has however had firm proof that she's not leadership material and knows better then aiming for that sort of power. She also has a bit of a mischievous streak that when combined with her delight in boasting gets her in a fair bit of trouble. With a love of shiny things and being praised/spoiled she is easily bribed. While she delights in new things and places her wanderlust is enhanced by a desire for a hoard and place to settle.   
What are you doing in the Nentir Vale?: Being quite lost despite being from around Lake Nen. Circumstances having left her bereft of home and kin she's currently seeking power and shiny things. And possibly. Maybe friends.
Who do you know here?: No one really as she's only recently arrived. The Innkeeper Erandil Zemoar does seem fairly nice though.
Familiarity With PF2e: Played through the base adventure and have made a few characters.
Do you have any phobias you’d prefer to appear in well-marked spoilers?: None that I know of.
How Often Do You Elliquiy?: I try for daily checking at the least. Some days don't work out quite so well sadly.



More entries for a flooded seeking! We shall swamp Ershin in oddball characters. I also find it funny even as I'm guilty of it in that Ershin notes monster races could have some trouble and there's a flood of lizards, orcs, tieflings, kitsune, and other not quite standard races. :)

[Isengrad]

In my defense, Fellcrest does have a teifling merchant family...at least according to the points of light wiki

Haha, it happens. Humans are great meta picks but rarely interesting, for all that I'll occasionally run one if I just find an art piece I like that's particularly hot--I'm running a human barb in a 5e game for that reason. Definitely some fun entries all around, though! Looking forward to seeing what all else people come up with. Several fun characters here I know Jaz would enjoy.

[Ershin]

Okay! Now that character applications have slowed down I've got one further question for all the applicants. You've given me examples of who you know in the area, but how do you know the dwarf Gundren Rockseeker? Has he helped you out in the past, shared a hobby with you or perhaps you've only been introduced to him recently by a friendly face in Fallcrest?

Also there's still a few days before applications close, so if anyone else feels like adding to the anxiety of having to choose only a small number of these brave souls you still have time

[Isengrad]

As far as Able is concerned, he has had more than a few meeting with Gundren. Since house Azaer deals with most if not all of the major settlements, organizing shipments of arms and armor from the likes of Hammerfast and Harkenwold.

While Able has not been a part of the caravans up to Winterhaven he has most certainly been an escort for the shipments to and from Hammerfast and Harkenwold(especially as banditry has been on the rise). It was at his cousins urging and his friendship with Gundren that prompted his learning of the dwarven language(and his eventual appreciation of fine dwarven ale) . His exposure to other settlements and culture more than likely influenced his fighting style as well, the blending of arms and magic.

All in all, professional friends and drinking buddies when they are both in the same town.

[Xurtan]

Jaz and Gundren ended up in a spot of trouble together after a very strange case of mistaken identity. Once the local constables had straightened it out--not difficult, but confusing for all involved as the criminal they'd BOTH somehow been mistaken for was neither lizard nor dwarf--they'd gone out for drinks and to get to know their 'partner in crime' better. It ended with a somewhat awkward 'tumble in the hay' so to speak, which both ended up largely putting down to the stress of the day and too much alcohol. Despite that--or perhaps even because of it--they've remained good friends, and Jaz is always happy to help out a friend.

[SilkenVenom]

In Ileria's case, Gundren would be an old friend of Rommel's, who was a close friend of Ileria's adopted human parents. Because of that, Gundren would become well acquainted with her over the years as she grew up since Rommel was like part of the family to hers when he would come to visit his friend.

[c0i9z]

Old uncle Gundren? He comes to visit Master Lesage any time he's in Hammerfast. Old friends, apparently. Or maybe not friends. Associates? In any case, they seem happy enough to get together with other associates and drink and play dice all night long. And, of course, it's Nigel who has to serve them the whole night and then clean up after them afterwards.

[Grizzly]

Adding to the long list of submission.  :)

Name: Orgrim-a-Vale (Orgrim of the Vale)
Ancestry/Class:   Human/Druid

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

He is actually a Reflection though unaware of it

Sex/Gender: Male
Kinks: Women, though open and curious (If there’s a good story idea in it, he’s in)

Brief Description:
Orgrim has many visible scars, an indication that he might have been involved on the losing end of a fierce battle.  Combined with his lean and muscular physique, wild appearance, and Dwarven inspired braids, he appears to be someone with an intimidating countenance, at least until he smiles. 

A study in contrasts, Orgrim is friendly and easy going yet he prefers to spend much of his time alone in the wilds surrounding Nentir Vale.  He has a strong sense of friendship and duty, but can come across as ‘that weird guy living in the woods.’

What are you doing in the Nentir Vale?:
Orgrim lives in the Vale.  He feels that it is his duty to assist those living in the Vale, whether it be with the helping of crops, healing of animals, anything that he feels could fall within his talents. 

Who do you know here?:
Orgrim knows in brief many of those living in the Vale, met mainly during his long wanderings around and between the settlements.  While he knows of many, he counts few among his friends.

Familiarity With PF2e:
I am familiar with PF2E, having played and GM’ed some games, but I’m no expert.

Do you have any phobias you’d prefer to appear in well-marked spoilers?:
None that have come up.

How Often Do You Elliquiy?:
If I’m playing a game I tend to check daily.

[Chulanowa]

Name: Eloén Glimmerleaf
Ancestry/Class: Half-Elf Sorcerer
Sex/Gender: Blessed of Corellon; (basically voluntary gender-fluidity)
Kinks: Bisexual; Mild exhibitionist but no other particular (discovered) kinks yet. Casual, and curious; More interested in monsters being monsters, humanoids being humanoids (player willing to cross some boundaries though for intelligent non-humanoids; dragons, blink dogs, etc)
Brief Description: Eloén is bubbly, friendly, mildly vacant, and hard-working. From the even tan, freckles, and sun-streaked hair, they clearly spend a lot of time in the sun. There's always a hint of grubbiness somewhere; leaves in their hair, dirt on their hands, blackberry prickers stuck to their clothes, etc. Somehow it always comes off as charming. They spend a lot of time having seemingly productive conversations with plants, squirrels, and the elderly.
What are you doing in the Nentir Vale?: Eloén was born and raised here! Well, technically on a farmstead close to Harken's Forest. For a time they worked as an herbalist in Fallcrest, but after their fey powers erupted, that fell apart; now Saera has to do jobs like this one to keep herself fed.
Who do you know here?: Ressilmae Starlight is the leader of Fallcrest's temple to Sehaninem Corellon, Melora, and Avandra. it's from him that Eloén learned more of elven heritage (and how to really get hothouse flowers to grow in the Vale's chilly climes!)

Mirkin Nafthander is the heir apparent of the Nafthander trading family; He also was a loyal customer of Eloén's shop. That changed when Eloén's sorcerous powers erupted, blinding the poor fellow in one eye and giving him a severe (though temporary!) case of moss-for-hair. He's out for revenge!

Saera doesn't know Venthalna Rillvane, an Elvish ranger of the Harken Wood. Eloén would like that to change though, because Venthalna is her mother.

Familiarity With PF2e: I could stand to learn more!
Do you have any phobias you’d prefer to appear in well-marked spoilers?: Phobias no, but would much rather not see hard noncon, sexual blood / pain / violence, or the like.
How Often Do You Elliquiy?: Read daily, post a few times weekly.

how do you know the dwarf Gundren Rockseeker? He'd never admit to it, but Gundren always stopped to buy a tincture or oil from Eloén to treat his beard with; that's why it's so thick and glossy of course! After the incident with Mirkin, Gundren laid out some coin and a good word to get Eloén a safe spot in the south of town, a favor they plan to repay the dwarf for soon.


Why not add another to the pile! I think her Sorcerous abilities stuff needs some polishing, Still not 100% sure how they manifest, but hey here we are.

[AribethAmkiir]

Kotone met Gundran awhile back in one village or another, she can't quite remember where.  They all blend together after some time.  She was performing at a tavern where he was staying, if she recalls correctly.  He bought her a drink after a performance, and they talked between sets.  Their paths have crossed a couple of times since then, whether fate or just the fact that there are only so many roads safe enough to travel upon.  He was the one who told her about the troubles in the region surrounding Nentir Vale.  She wouldn't call him a friend, but a familiar acquaintance is often the next best thing.

Has he helped you out in the past, shared a hobby with you or perhaps you've only been introduced to him recently by a friendly face in Fallcrest?

I've kept the people Micah knows deliberately vague, as I didn't want to cast presumptions about what exists and what doesn't.  That said, Micah has spent most of life in the woods, and knows the folk of her village mostly in passing, but not with any real depth.  She knows her family much better, which would be as follows if details are desired:

MICAH'S FAMILY

Jasper Olgen: Micah's deceased husband, and former village carpenter and wheelwright.

Carla Balken: Micah's daughter with Jasper.  Takes after her father and is more mild-mannered and grounded than her mother.  She was widowed when her first husband got mauled by an irate boar on the edge of the village that Micah tracked and hunted down.

Vender Balken: Carla's second husband, and village vendor.

Grandchildren: Micah has three grandchildren, a boy and a girl from Carla's first marriage, and more recently another grandson from Carla's second marriage with Vender.  Micah dotes on all three, much to Carla's irritation, especially when Micah teaches them about woodcraft.

[pdragon]

Actii encountered Gundren a month or so back when she first arrived in the region. She happened upon him on the road, in the midst of getting shaken down by highwaymen. Compelled by her code of honor to not abide such abuse, she dispatched the bandits and escorted him to the next village over. It was from him that she got a basic run down of the area, as well as a few stories of monsters that influenced her decision to come here.

I could see Gundren as a regular customer of Alice's parents, someone who she can also trust to be a decent person as he's never caused her family trouble.

[Muse]

Name: Gawain Andor
Ancestry/Class: Human/Magus
Sex/Gender: Male, both anatomically and psychologically. 
Kinks: Kotone.  :p  Maidens--submissive is a bonus.  Manipulative villainesses.  Polyamorous.  Slutty monster girls.  No male-on-me, herm-on-me, dog-on-me or horse-on-me please. 
Brief Description: Waves of storm-tossed russet hair and a constant smell of ozone hint at this magus's affinity for nature's fury.  Gawain is a strong young man who carries a heavy broadsword and tries to keep a variety of lightning effects ready.  The son of a printer who aspires to become a published author, Gawain is always ready for adventure--doubly so if a damsel is in need. 
What are you doing in the Nentir Vale?:
Who do you know here?:
Familiarity With PF2e: "Damn it, greenie, that's not right!"  (I'm the Greenie!) 
Do you have any phobias you’d prefer to appear in well-marked spoilers?: Covered in bees?  Nah, that's scary but i'm not going to freak out when it's on the other side of the monitor.  :): 
How Often Do You Elliquiy?: Several times a day. 

[Callie Del Noire]

Hey, muse is a inflammatory no enough of a monster girl?

[Muse]

Sorry, Callie, what are you asking? *smiles* 

Background is Printer, by the way.  Got to attach myself to some beautiful shieldmaidens and publish tales of their incredible adventures!
