<strong>Game Rules</strong><br/><br/><strong>Setting:</strong><br/>This adventure takes place on the planet Golarion (http://www.pathfinderwiki.com/wiki/Golarion), along a turf of uninhabited land that's disputed among the River Kingdoms of northeastern Avistan.  The game begins on the first of Sarenith (June).  Most if not all player characters are from the nearby Kingdom of Brevoy (http://www.pathfinderwiki.com/wiki/Brevoy), and act as agents for the crown.  You may download the player's guide (http://paizo.com/products/btpy8dqh?Pathfinder-Adventure-Path-Kingmaker-Players-Guide) from Paizo.com.<br/><br/><strong>Character Creation:</strong><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Level 1;</li><li>Standard Fantasy 15 Point Buy;</li><li>Races Available:  Human, Elf, Half-Elf, Half Orc;</li><li>Classes Available:  Bard, Cleric, Fighter, Monk, Ranger, Rogue, Sorcerer, Wizard;</li><li>HP:  Full at 1st Level;

3) After Enemy's Turn.  If there are multiple enemies, they will all function at the same time, using the mean of all initiatives as their turn order.  All characters with higher initiatives can post an action "out of turn order," so to speak.<br/><br/><strong>Important Game Information:</strong><br/><em>Purchases:</em>It will be difficult to buy and sell items out in the bush.  If I recall correctly, the closest city is nearly three days away on horseback (although I may be wrong).<br/><em>Hirelings:</em>You are encouraged to use hirelings to do menial tasks (train your horses, maintain your camp, keep guard of ???).  However, please don't use your hirelings like mercenaries.  You will probably need to hire at least a messenger so that you can keep in touch with the civilized world.
