The Party
The party may change from time to time, but I will try to keep up with them here as the story progresses. The party was built with the standard loot rules as presented by Paizo and found on the Archives of Nethys website. No variant rules were used to build these player characters. I may or may not be posting my PCs builds, but if I do you will find them in the Pathfinder 2e Character Builds Section.
Be warned, there will be spoiler for the Age of Ashes Adventure Path, possibly on this page and certainly on others.
Currently the party is level 13 and consists of:
Galen Lightstep, Ancient Elf Rogue/Fighter
“The Champ”, Half Elven Champion of Ragathiel
Konekon, Kitsune Gunslinger
Zotil, Gnome Oracle
Some of the party may have detailed backstories and some may not. It will depend on the level of detail that the players who play these characters provide for me to elaborate on. At the very least I will try to give you a physical description of the characters and some of what I am learning about them as we travel together. Of course, as we continue to play sessions the PC’s will all grow, so be sure to follow along! Without further ado.
Konekon
Meet Konekon, the enigmatic Kitsune Gunslinger of our Age of Ashes Adventure. Konekon’s name is whispered with reverence and awe in the circles that know of him. His weapon of choice is an arquebus, an imposing piece of firepower that he wields with unerring precision and deadly skill.
Konekon’s reputation as an expert marksman is well-earned. Each shot from his arquebus is a masterstroke of lethal precision, often striking with such critical impact that it leaves his enemies reeling. It’s not just his accuracy that sets him apart, but also his uncanny ability to turn the tide of battle, protecting his allies with timely interventions.
As a Kitsune, Konekon carries the distinctive charm and allure of his kind. His fox-like features are both intriguing and beguiling, hinting at a sharp intellect and a quicksilver wit that match his skills on the battlefield.
But Konekon is more than just a skilled gunslinger. His strategic acumen and protective instincts make him an invaluable asset to his team. Whether he’s felling enemies with his arquebus or outmaneuvering them with his tactics, Konekon always seems to be one step ahead.
Zotil
Meet Zotil, the fiery Gnome Oracle of our Age of Ashes Adventure. Small in stature but enormous in spirit, Zotil is a beacon of both healing and destruction on the battlefield, wielding his spells with a flair that is as captivating as it is deadly.
Zotil’s command over magic is awe-inspiring. His arsenal includes potent offensive spells, which he uses to control the battlefield and maneuver himself into advantageous positions. But it is his skill as a healer that truly sets him apart. Time and again, Zotil has brought his companions back from the brink of death, his healing magic flowing like a wellspring of life amidst the chaos of battle.
Yet, Zotil’s magic is not all about healing and protection. When the situation demands, he can unleash his destructive side with gusto. His favored method of attack? Fireballs. Zotil hurls these incendiary orbs at his enemies with reckless abandon, scorching adversaries and often leaving them with nothing more than singed eyebrows as a souvenir of their encounter.
But Zotil is more than just a spellcaster. He possesses a sharp wit and a penchant for mockery, which he often uses to taunt his enemies after a particularly devastating attack. Whether he’s hurling fireballs or snarky quips, Zotil knows how to keep his foes off balance.
Megov Omigamagov aka “The Champ”
Meet Megov Omigamagov or as his friends affectionately call him, ‘The Champ,’ the stalwart Half-Elf Champion of Ragathiel in our Age of Ashes Adventure. With his rugged charm and imposing figure, he is an imposing sight on the battlefield, a beacon of hope for his companions, and a harbinger of doom for his enemies.
Born of two worlds, The Champ carries the best of both his elven and human heritage. His sharp elven features are softened by the robustness of his human lineage, creating an intriguing blend of grace and grit. He carries himself with a quiet confidence that commands respect and a hint of danger that keeps his foes at bay.
The Champ’s weapon of choice is his trusty bastard sword, a formidable piece of craftsmanship that he wields with deadly precision. But when the situation calls for it, he doesn’t hesitate to switch to his Adamantine battle Axe, a weapon as resilient and relentless as he is.
But The Champ is not just a skilled warrior. He is also a dedicated protector, always ready to leap into the fray when his allies are threatened. His swift retributive strikes have turned the tide of many a battle, saving his comrades from harm and striking fear into the hearts of their enemies.
Off the battlefield, The Champ is a man of few words. His silence, however, is not one of indifference but of contemplation. His eyes carry the weight of battles fought and lives saved, and his actions speak louder than any words could.
Galen Lightstep
Unveiling the enigma that is Galen Lightstep, an ancient elf of Kyonin who threads the line between a rogue and a fighter. He is an integral character in our riveting Age of Ashes Adventure, a testament to the wisdom accumulated over centuries and a silent guardian for his people.
Born into a lineage that was neither royal nor destitute, Galen was raised in an environment where service and protection were revered virtues. His family were the unsung heroes, operating from the shadows, their actions echoing louder than any spoken words. The young elf displayed a remarkable knack for tasks requiring stealth, precision, and strategic thinking, honing these skills in the labyrinthine alleyways of the city and the verdant wilderness of Kyonin.
As he matured, Galen found his purpose as an operative, serving his people with an intelligent mind and tactical prowess. A light mace in one hand and a sickle in the other, he moved like a shadow across the battlefield, unseen yet ever-present. He reveled in tripping his foes, rendering them vulnerable before striking with lethal precision – a dance of devastation that bore the marks of his diverse experiences.
Galen’s understanding of the world isn’t limited to the art of combat. His knowledge stretches to field medicine, a skill set acquired through necessity and practice, saving countless lives in the process. Yet, it is the perspective through which we see the story unfold that truly sets him apart. His insights, shaped by his long life and myriad paths, add depth and richness to our narrative.
In the tapestry of the Age of Ashes Adventure, Galen Lightstep is a thread of silver, weaving through the narrative with his unique blend of skills and experiences. He is akin to the unseen hand that guides the fate of kingdoms, a subtle force that shapes events from behind the scenes.
Join us on this thrilling journey as we delve deeper into the life of Galen Lightstep and his companions – The Champ, Konekon, and Zotil. Together, they navigate the trials and tribulations of our adventure, their stories interweaving to form a captivating saga. Stay tuned for more exciting revelations and epic tales.
