This is a place to discuss the details of this game.  Talis(fightery rogue) and Tanrov(Fighter) will be continuing, but it looks like Glum, Zer-wedula and Catessa Fallowfield are no longer online (their last logon was in Jan).  I am giving them till next fri to respond.  Until then, feel free to say hello.

If the original cast doesn't return, you may take over the characters (though you can rebuild them) if you want a premade backstory and solid group connection.

The general idea I have is to start at level 6, Pathfinder, the rules in  "RTJ, character creation, house rules (read first)" are a good starting point.  I am wanting to try redo-E8# to see how far we could go.  I imagine we could make it through at least Module 3, maybe 4.  This is not final and can be discussed.  Equipment is also a concept that is not finalized yet.




#
E8, where you stop leveling and start accumulating feats.  But instead, at level 8, you start accumulating gestalt levels(and feats).  I will try to explain it better later.

What do you mean by this? Does that mean we are not going to try and reach then end of the adventure path? >.>

Also hey, I'm a new player...I'll be playing a bomb-maker of some sort.

Hi all.  I'm a new character too.  I was playing a Chelaxian sorceress in one of the DM's other games.  I don't know what I'll be playing yet in this one.  But I thought I'd say 'hi'.

Cool...so sup?

Anything you want to chat about?

Hey, Calida nice to see you back.   In the game we played together, I was Silverspar.  It's also nice to hear from you Lin Tal.

Hey Silverspar. Good to see you again.

It is?...do I know you Silverspar/Tanrov?

Hmm...right...I'll be playing a modified Alcehmist character.

Sup with all of you?

I live! I will come back to the game.

Zer

Checking in.... Have to finish the touches on Cat. Glad I peeked in.

Wow, I mean wow.  I have an appointment in a 30 mins, but I should return today.  Cat and Zer are back, but I did hear from Glum and he will not be returning.  Welcome 1 and all.  Toss around some character ideas.

Talking about character ideas here's one; a half orc mage/druid mix.   Ha, Ha. LOL I'll just stick with little ole Tanrov or bring back Tanrov/Garth, the little boy in a man' body, right Cat, Zer and Talis.   More LOLing.

PF redo E8; stop advancing at 8th level and every 5000xp gain a level in a class.  No multiclassing beyond gestalt. 
After thinking about it, I decided against trying this.  I would like to go with PF E8; stop advancing at 8th level and gain feats every 5000xp.  If everyone is comfortable with Gestalt, we could try Gestalt E8.


Info on E8 can be found here;
http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=206323

Info on Gestalt is here;
http://www.d20srd.org/srd/vari...estaltCharacters.htm

What do you think, GE8, E8, regular 1-20PF?

Anyway, starting with 6th level characters, so we have a while before this becomes important.  See the character creation thread for details.

What is Gestalt?

Basically, Gestalt is a variant where you take 2 classes at once and take the best of what they have at that level.  It makes characters more powerful and versatile.  We would only do that if we play E8.

Okay...hmm, I'll be digging through the PDFs and info...brb.

No Gestalt, please.

Cat, would you be ok with just E8, no gestalt?

I would be happy with E8.

Ok, looking things over more closely, I vote for PF20, figuring by the time we get to the end, and I hope we do, of the campaign, we'll be fighting really tough critters. I know the concept of E6/E8 is to plan ahead, but I worry.

That said, I'd be happy to go with E8 and try it out. If so, I want input on my character.

GE8 is my last place vote.

My two cents:

Having run Shackled City, four PCs get slaughtered, and at level 12+ the buffs and such make combat painstaking.  At level 14 or so any battle more or less becomes all or nothing.

Reading age of worms, I just said, really? Survive?

The battle with Aldern made me think gestalt saved us, but it is painful, as I see this E6/E8 could be.  With 6 PCs we could just try Pathfinder straight up, especially if the additional books/classes are added.

Given all that, DM's game, his choice, I can stick with Barb/Wizard or if we go pure PF, Z-W is back to a straight-up wizard.

I think my preference would be the normal Pathfinder rules with the expanded options from the APG and Ultimate Magic, but I'm game to try E8 if that ends up being the decision.  I'd prefer gestalt E8 over normal, but I'm up for either.  I'll probably do a cleric of some sort, since it looks like we have plenty of melee types and, based on the rundown of the existing characters are perhaps a little short on divine casters (no pun intended). ;)

New Information

So the backstory/recap is in the new Magnimar thread, 2.2.

Character creation rules are in  "RTJ, character creation, house rules (read first)".  Characters need to be made by next thursday (6/16).  I have a dwarf monk/cleric named Glum someone could rework if you wanted a premade backstory.  You could even change the race (through reincarnation) if you wanted.  Everyone seems to have a character concept, so Glum will fade into the background.     New folks should send me an RTJ, (or just PM) with your age statement.  I have one from the other games, but better to be safe than sorry.
We will contiune any discussion about E8 or GE8 or PF20 through monday (6/13), giving anybody with a strong opinion till then to voice it.  If you don't voice it, I will assume you don't have a strong opinion about it.  Right now I am leaning toward E8.  Ok, we will be playing E8, so plan on 8 levels, +feats.  If you take all 8 levels in 1 class, you will get (or get access to) a capstone ability to be determined at that time (the capstones from the link above are for E6), but probably a class ability from 9th or 10th (or a PRC if you take 1).  We will revisit this decision at a later point, probably after we have been at 8th level for awhile.
Link to E6/8
http://www.enworld.org/forum/g...e-inside-d-d-44.html


I would suggest you coordinate character creation, and will not be held responsible for what might happen if the group isn't balanced.
Not bad, fairly balanced.  I am looking forward to seeing your builds.

currently;
halfelf gish(fighter-type wizard)
halfling druid
human rogue/fighter-type
human fighter/rogue-type
alchemist (from APG)
samurai (cavalier from APG)
cleric

Okay, I"ll get on it.

Can I get a name change?

Question: Do we all know each other before hand?

halfelf gish(fighter-type wizard)
halfling druid
human rogue/fighter-type
human fighter/rogue-type
alchemist (from APG)
samurai (cavalier from APG)
cleric

Zer will be busy for awhile, and will be bowing out for now.

Cat, Talis and Tanrov all know each other.  Miriam will be introduced by the Temple of Pharasma.  Jan and the Samurai will need an "In".  What do you want as your motivation?  I will give it some thought.

Well, Jan could be investigating it as a side job? It is a puzzle?

Hmm, well...I am going to have to figure this out... >.>

Maybe a friend of Jan's has been hurt and he is investigating that angle... :/

Basically, there have been a string of gruesome cult murders.  The victims have been ritually mutilated and then killed.  Stories of merchants, politicians, crooked guards, and moneylenders showing up dead— their bodies mutilated, faces missing, and chests carved with seven-pointed stars—seem to be on everyone’s lips, just as it seems that every week brings a new victim to light. The crime scenes are now tightly controlled by the city government—and the temple has had little success in investigating one. Though their sources tell them there is little to find and the government is getting nowhere.

The new folks need to pick a voice color.
Taken
Aqua= Talis
Green= Catessa Fallowfield
Red= Tanrov/Garth
Blue= NPCs
yellow= magical items
Zer-wedula
Glum
orange= ooc

Free (you may combine your color with serif, monotype or cursive is you want)
purple
brown
darkblue

I will take dark blue.

I call Purple Serif Italic.

Jan has a heavy accent then... ;)

Anyway, characters are coming together and should be ready to go by this weekend.

halfling druid
human rogue
human fighter/rogue-paladin
alchemist (from APG)
cleric

?samurai (cavalier from APG)

The paladin is not your typical paladin, so he shouldn't be too much of an issue.

It be both a sexy accent and representative of his mutagen ability. :P

Well, it looks like we are just about ready to go.  I will try to do the first post today, but I have Church (Church of Christ) and then my RL group is playing today - Kingmaker AP.  We have a haunted abbey to explore.  I may not get it in.  But I will try.

I am working on the first post, but it is taking longer than I thought it would.  Sorry for the delay.

Should I post in a PL?

My character is finalized?

And away we go...

until the group is all together please use PM's in 2.2 Magnimar.

The Townhouse map is in Maps.

Anyone want to see how one should NOT raise IRL Stats?

Sorry, I'm not much of a chatter.

So you have a plan.  I will give everyone a chance to respond to things.  I will post the next scene friday.

Meet the Medic is impossibly awesome.

Marching order:

Big dudes up front, Miriam and Jan in the middle, Cat in the rear.

That cool?

Miriam's all in favor of not being in the front lines.

Hmm...so my marching order is okay?

The marching order is fine, but who has light.  It's dark and most of you are human.  You need at least 1 light source.

I have made a bunch of sun rods that we can use and discard.

Hmm, I can also make some Darkvision extracts if given 1 minute.

I also have a sh!t tone of matches. :P

Hmm, I do not know if I should post or not...Jan is still in tag-along status... >.>

Can he take some initiative? :)

You all have eternal torchs, I just need to know who is using a hand to hold 1, or what other method you are using.  You guys are 6th level characters, so I will allow you some creative freedom.

Take as much initiative as you want, though I will try to keep a faster poster from completely dominating the game.

Question: Did anyone bother to use my Disguise Self extracts?

Because I made three... >.>

I wasn't sure what they did, but I think Miriam probably used one, although she probably didn't use it to make drastic changes - her hair's probably back a solid color, her features look a little different, and she probably looks a bit younger, maybe 19 or 20 instead of 25.

...Okay...what about the other two? I only had five slots for Level 1 extracts...

Also, can I put my spear into my Handy Haversack?

Sure, I would let you keep the spear in the central pouch as the spear doesn't have reach.

Also, if Miriam used the extract she could wear her armor and still be disguised.  She is also a local and more recognizable.  The others are not locals and shouldn't be known.

I imagine Talis would want to save the others to use in case you needed to make a quick getaway from a "loud" scene.  Moderate level characters tend to run into fireball and such, very noisy magic that attracts attention.

Okay, cool...that means I should have two DS extracts left and a Jump with one free spot left for level 1 stuff.

Hmm...

According to the book, to draw something from a Handy Haversack, you use a move action...does that still count with spears?

There might be some length issues there...I might need to fall back on Improvised Weapons. >.>

Edit:...I need to figure out what to post... <.<
This message was last edited by the player at 07:36, Mon 27 June 2011.

OK, well if Miriam's equipment can be fully disguised, then she'll have worn her full compliment of gear.  She only moves at 20' per round when armored, though, so the others may have had to slow their pace a bit.  Although I guess Catessa also probably moves at 20', so maybe not that much.

I'm dealing with some training (in law :/) for two days. Will be around very little, pun inteneded

Cat tends to ride her dog, so she is usually fast (40').  But you guys aren't in any hurry, so 20' shouldn't be a problem, and while Talis can put on a chain shirt in 1 min, it would take more time (2-4 mins) to put on a breastplate - while inside a house of a death cultist who was turned into an undead.... mwahahaha...

I will post more tues, just want to give folks a chance to repond to things.
This message was last edited by the GM at 20:45, Mon 27 June 2011.

Posting soon, going to brew a extract and toss the place.

Be right back.

I have posted more Magnimar information.

Cool. :)

Hmm...video game stuff?

http://www.escapistmagazine.co...3610-Horrors-Therapy

Edit:

Also, here is a funny video I think: http://www.escapistmagazine.co...eadyrun/3606-Give-In
This message was last edited by the player at 21:14, Tue 28 June 2011.

The 1st video I didn't find all that funny, the 2nd was pretty funny.

I will wait till at least a couple more people respond to the light and noise before moving on.

The 1st post in the Map thread will always be the current tactical map.  I will update it as appropriate.

And please add this under the Magic Items section on your sheet;

MAGIC ITEMS
•Armor:
•Belts:
•Body:
•Chest:
•Eyes:
•Feet:
•Hands:
•Head:
•Headband:
•Neck:
•Ring 1:
•Ring 2:
•Shield:
•Shoulders:
•Wrist:


About Damage, typically most hp's above 1st level are scratches or tired muscles from dodging and such.  So if you hit and do damage, but I say they dodged it, I probably mean they took the damage, but they have plenty more hps.  When they get low enough, thats when you actually start to draw blood. If they have some feat or talent or whatever that lets them actually avoid your attack, I will try to mention that fact.

Monday and Tuesday were long. Yesterday, my modem crashed. I am catching up.

Arghh, computer problems.  Well you know what I say- "To err is human, but to really foul things up requires a computer".  Anyway, I figured you were hanging back to watch the stairs, as there isn't a whole lot of room in the house.  As a house it has decent square footage, but as a DnD combat map, it's rather cramped.

A lot of them are, especially when you start getting past four characters.  Eight or nine PCs makes almost any indoor map cramped, unless you're in a giant cathedral or some such.

You may post in any order and I will try to interpret things as best I can.  If you really want to see what someone above you in the initiative order does, wait until they have posted.  Current order will be
Jan
Talis
Catessa Fallowfield  & Murphis
Tanrov/Garth
Miriam

Any questions?
This message was last edited by the GM at 21:54, Thu 30 June 2011.

Yes, how did I get first spot? >.>

We are in combat now?

Okay...posting now...

You got the highest initiative after Miriam and the npc.  I should warn you, despite having improved init and a good dex, Talis usually roll bad on inti.  The player just has horrendous luck when it comes to init.

And talis is using a sap, so outright murder was not his 1st choice.
This message was last edited by the GM at 22:17, Thu 30 June 2011.

Oh, okay... >.>

Everyone does know that a Sap does nonlethal damage.  Talis is only trying to knock her out, an armed person who isn't supposed to be here.  She should be dead.

Im off to work early today to try and beat the "afternoon before a holiday weekend driving HELL".  I will be around and check in.  But I figure the game will slow down this weekend.  So happy Birthday USA, go team and I pray your weekend is great.

Cool. Be safe. :)

Forgot to mention I planned on going to Disneyland on July 3rd.

I spent...13 hours there, more or less, not counting driving time.

Disneyland and California Adventure were awesome, except Splash Mountain has a deceptive line system that I wasted a hour on.

Good times were had.

I am now going to spend most of tomorrow cramped up, because my legs, ankles, and feet hurt like a mofo.

Catch up soon.

Disneyland, good times.  Except for all the lines.

I'll bet Talis is happy to see Miriam.  I hope everyone had a nice 4th.  Here in the NW we had lots of sun, but it wasn't too hot and a perfect night for fireworks.  I was driving down from Seattle to Portland last night at dusk and the sky was literally full of fireworks.  It was glorious, and just a little distracting while driving.

Where is the battle map?

It's the first picture in the Notice: Maps thread.  I believe we're all the arrows, colored by speech color, and the rats are probably the little blobs.  Iesha's probably the diamond shape in the corner.

Thanks. Missed it earlier.

Note to others: Let's mot attack beings until we're certain they are a threat,

Miriam is correct.  This particular map is a little harder to see because I left all 3 levels on the same page, instead of zooming in.  I also, Cat is more of a yellow-green.  I'll try for a darker green next round.

I have given some thought to trying little pictures of your characters.  But when you get them little enough, I have trouble seeing enough detail to readily see who is who.

Just got out of class, it is like 96F out there, walked back to work.

A out of it, posting now.

Ahh, but what kind of humidity?  Anyway, I hope you have AC.

I don't know, but I feel like melting. x.x

I am trying to post...

Right, posted.

I am trying to get into the room with the combat.

I'll drop the sunrod once inside and start fighting.

Edit: Sorry for the low quality of the post, I am trying my best.

It is too hot. x.x
This message was last edited by the player at 22:34, Tue 05 July 2011.

Just to make sure, how much damage did Miriam heal?

How much damage did I receive?

Oddly, 16 and 16.

So...I suffered 15 damage only?

Just to make sure.

It was took 16, healed 16, and took 15?

DM- took 16, healed 16, took 15; yes
This message was last edited by the GM at 21:50, Wed 06 July 2011.

Ok, attack that, whatever that is. Not Iesha and Aldern,

Attack what? >.>

Posting ASAP.

The things that were pretending to be the Foxgloves.

Spells updated in spell thread. Will post 'morrow.

Thanks, I appreciate your diligence on updating the spells list.  It makes my life much easier.

I'm at 1HP!

Someone get the one behind me. T.T

Hmm, do I have to use the Current Spell Thread?

Yes please, a list of how many extracts you have left and any you have already created but haven't used yet.  Maybe a bombs used/total.

Between 2 things that are using sneak attack, not a healthy place to be.

I would of thought that the others would concentrate on one... >.>

Hmm...I need to think a bit before posting...

Roll a 21 or a 19? For me? Impossible!! Can I attack in stead?

If you reduce what level of spell you try to cast it would make it easier.

3rd= 21 (need 12)
2nd= 19 (need 10)
1st= 17 (need  8)

I will let you change your action this 1 time, but you all will need to bring your A games - and for a 6th druid, attacking really isn't it.  The End BBEG has a reputation as a party killer...Beware.  Also, Talis will be sorely disappointed, he is much more effective with a flanker and you are the only 1 who can provide that right now.


It's late and I'm tired - fri and sat I have family stuff happening.  I will try to check in, but I won't be as regular as regular...or whatever...bed...calling...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

The rules for castimg and concentration checks can be found here;

10:18, Today: Catessa Fallowfield rolled 6 using 1d20+3. concentration check.

Ah well, that failed. shocker

Yeah, PF really made concentration checks tougher.  But you tried, that's what counts.

Jan, the Cast page says your last post was "01:54, Yesterday", but I don't see it.  I think maybe the net ate your post.

What?!

Argh.

It is too hot.

Posting ASAP.

Sorry for disappearing, it really is too hot.

Now I need to get super glue off my fingers.

Right...just to make sure, I am right now at 13HP? >.>

Sorry for the delays, I had a weird weekend. <.>

I will post now.

I pray it was a good weird and not a bad weird. :)

yes, I believe 13hp is correct.

I will advance the game tommorow.

Sorry, that birthday weekend was much busier than planed. Then a normal medical update, yesterday, was draining physically. Give me time to catch up.

Sorry Cat, I waited as long as I could before advancing the game.

No worries.

Things seem to be changing at RPOL; see "A change for the better -- Don't panic 'til you read it all" in the General RPOL section of the main page.  I'm not quite sure if that will affect us, but I will keep an eye on it.

That's old news.

Wow, you are right.  I just never read it until now and I usually don't look at the "posted on" date.  Move along, there's nothing to see here.
This message was last edited by the GM at 17:59, Fri 15 July 2011.

I believe it's actually 13 healed on Jan.  Miriam's 6th level Healing domain power makes her cure spells always act as if they're empowered, so they gain 50% healing.

DM- 3+6=9 (3+6)x1.5= 13.5;  you can round up = 14
This message was last edited by the GM at 18:03, Fri 15 July 2011.

Thank you for filling in the map. Anyone else feel like we missed a clue? A fight, a search to find Maras..... Weak. :) I'll try and do an ic post tomorrow.

Posting ASAP.

I need to finish up a report.

Well, this is PBP and I am trying to run this more like a Tv show, going from 1 scene to the next.  There was little in the intervening rooms and going floor by floor or room by room was just going to take time.

The map legend gives some basic descriptions of the rooms and in post 2.2/99 I detailed what else you found out.

Hmm...can Heal be used to give more details about the corpses? Like were they killed on site or dumped?

Also did I make that Detect Secret Doors extract?

  Yes(I had assumed someone was taking 20 to examine the corpses) and Yes(if you want to have made one up).  The bodies were obviously either killed off site and transported here, or great care and magic were used to clean up - the is a complete lack of blood at the scene.

I will be radically altering when I post.  I am going from working nights to working days for the near future (up to 4 months maybe).

Question: What do you mean by Partial Action?

In a surprise round, you may take EITHER a move action OR a standard action, so I say "a partial action".


So in the surprise round you only get to do 1 attack, unless you have an ability to make multiple attacks as a standard action.  Most multiple attacks (like your's) require a full round action to perform.
This message was last edited by the GM at 00:34, Fri 22 July 2011.

My attack is a full round action? Really? Hmm...I better check the rules again.

I have Spider Climb too...Hey, are there any windows I can break through?

My mutagen is going to last a hour, more or less, and I have sunrods...

Maybe I can catch up with Cat hanging onto my neck?

Yes there are windows, and these up on the upper floors are not boarded up, so you should be able to open or break one out if you wish.

Okay...hmm, with my current strength of 16, that means I can lift like 230lb right?

Can I carry someone with my up there?

I suppose you can carry what you could normally.  It's just that they would need to hold on to you, you can't hold on to them.

Sorry, got busy yesterday. I"m going to try to post ow, but I need to head out soon.

Sorry, this new work schedule is playing havock with my timing and my posting.  I'll post tonight.

Are we still in round time?  Miriam would keep channeling at least a couple more times if we're not.  She's not going to be jumping on anyone's back anytime soon, though. ;)

Miriams question is answered ingame thread.  Sorry about the shortness of the post, put in a 13 hr day today and I am TIRED.  Going to bed soon.  I know what the villian is doing, I just need to know how far it gets.


"Masterwork Tools:
This well-made item is the perfect tool for the job. It grants a +2 circumstance bonus on a related skill check (if any). Bonuses provided by multiple masterwork items do not stack."
So I would like some ideas, what would be a good mw tool for the Handle Animal skill?
This message was last edited by the GM at 12:27, Tue 26 July 2011.

Leash? Collar? Saddle?

Probably a small collection of gear.

A collar, harness, arm protector, groin protector, some capture devices and restraints, and rewards that the animal might enjoy.

Well...I am at a lost on what to do with the information provided.

Posting ASAP...I am so hungry...and dehydrated probably... x.x

Did I need to explain better, or has everybody just gotten busy?

A little for me, bit finals are next week and I got two papers due.

The weekend will be busy for me.

Oh, you started a private thread and I didn't notice.  I really need to delete some of the old msgs.  I'm really tired, please continue  and I will post fri evening.

Posting ASAP, MSWP screwed me.

Worst case, Monday afternoon.

Where exactly are people?

Here, will try to post. Six page essay due tomorrow.

MS Word Pro screwed me last week.

Dying of heat too.

Garth and Talis are downstairs outside the (now) open front door. Outside C1
The staircase and hallway to get there is on fire.
Jan is outside the 2nd story window. outside C7
Cat/Murphis and Miriam are on the 2nd floor, in smoke. C7

I'm going to go eat and then I am going to post.

Sorry for the delays, I had to write a four page paper last night and I got to bed at 4:30AM and woke up at 10:00AM.

All that is left is a presentation tomorrow and a final...I'll post today, hopefully.

Oh look a damsel in distress...or not.  I'm thinking Miriam could use some help.

Just got home, just got in a weird argument with about stuff. x.x

Is Miriam close enough to the window for me to grab?

I will post tonight the resolution of the events, so any final thoughts?

Post #3000!

I'm begging to like Miriam. :)

Hmm, will doing a autopsy on bodies prove anything useful?

Is Pathfinder's science up to the task of that?

Posting soon, I just need to figure out something to do. ;p

Well, we already pinned down the cause of death pretty well, back at the townhouse.  In the absence of a CSI lab or divination magic, I doubt we'll get a lot more than that from them.  Though I suppose Miriam might as well take 20 on some Heal & Perception checks while she's gentle reposing them, just in case there's something we haven't found.

So did Garth/Tanrov tell us everything about the whole situation with Mara and Maras and his death/resurrection?  If I understand what I read back there about Tanrov coming back in Garth's body, I think Miriam might be a little disturbed by that, but she could probably get over it.

Okay, I'll try to do that.

Hmm, maybe add in some Know rolls.

Miriam;
Technically you don't know what happened in the thread, you'll noticed he edited what he told you.  Leaving out the whole, Tanrov in Garth's body thing, because they aren't sure how you and your church would react.  That's also why he acts like a kid (mentally he is a kid) and why they is name confusion, Tanrov/Garth.  I'm sure eventually you will find out, they can't hide it for long.

You do get the sense (Sense Motive) that he isn't telling you the whole truth.  He isn't lying, but he is leaving stuff out.  You can also sense he is telling it more like a story he heard than a story he lived.

Jan;
CSI would be a heal check.  You could try some knowledge checks, but in either case, it would take time.

In general I want to see how you are using your time.  1 suggestion might be to send a couple of people to investigate the nearby Inn/murders while a couple stay here and examine the bodies.  Death cults don't typically like the light of day and no attacks have taken place during the day.  Then meet back up and go to investigate Underbridge.  There you probably want to go together.

How long would it take to examine the bodies?  I was just planning to have Miriam look over them again to see if there were any marks or abrasions or anything on the skin that we might have missed.  I don't think she'd try opening them up or anything, I don't think Golarion clergy probably have much of a surgical tradition (mainly because they generally have other options), nor has she ever worked for CSI: Magnimar.  Given that they already know the cause of death, if it'll take more than a few minutes, I'd imagine she wouldn't think it was worth the time right now.

Well, I want to do CSI: Magnimar...I won't if you don't want me to though... ;p

Hmm...I need to cook dinner and eat...brb.

I would think a really good examination of the bodies (take 20) would take a couple of hours.

Posting now, god my neck hurts.

I got a open sore back there.

Jan; I hope your back feels better.

Everybody; so you have talked about it.  Now, what are you going to DO?

Cat is willing to hang around the "autopsies", feeling paranoid. She's not much good with the dead,

Actually it is the back of my neck, near the hairline. It is very painful. x.x

Did Miriam memorize Speak with Dead?

I didn't think to do so when I refreshed her spells, so I'm thinking no.  Didn't we already get an evening's worth of sleep?  I thought I remembered that in the original post.

yes, yes you did. 

It doesn't matter how long the dead are dead for Speak with Dead, so you could do it later just as well.

This is true.

Right, I got some prescriptions now and I am getting a shot today.

I will post after I get the shot.

I hate shots.

Okay, I learned you usually should ask the doctor what is in the shot before he gives it to you.

Things have not been fun on my end and I just collected myself to post.

I will post right after dinner.

Oh my, that does not sound good.  I do hope the shot helped you.

It did, but now all sorts of unpleasant things are happening to me...involving TMI.

It's been a long day, I'll post monday morning, or maybe night.

Do I get the opportunity to make more extracts?

Anyone have money for me to brew potions?

Edit: Sorry, I had to fill in at the family business and there are a lot of late buyers, my feet are killing me and I need to get a blood test.

I'm going to post tomorrow hopefully, but I may be delayed.
This message was last edited by the player at 07:25, Wed 17 Aug 2011.

Yes, feel free to make some extracts(1 min each), bombs(1 min) and another mutagen(1 hour), that's pretty quick.  "Brewing a potion requires 1 day."  Longer than the group wants to wait right now.  There's a pretty girl that needs rescuing, hopefully.

Alright, getting off work now.

I'll post a update to my spell list when I get home and a post.

Man, I was such a big baby when I got my blood drawn.

Closed my eyes and couldn't even look at it. ;p

Okay, I sort of fell unconsious when I got home yesterday, and today has been hectic.

I'll try to post now, but my grandma is outside.

BRB, grandma face time.

1 thing I am trying to do is instead of just giving out new items, I am trying to develop a special item for each character.
Talis- has a sword dedicated to Desna
Tanrov- has a scimitar dedicated to Sarnerae
Cat- has an Amulet

What would Jan and Miriam like?

As to the topic of Capstones for 8th level single classed characters, all may only be taken once.
Clerics- can take a feat which allows them to use cast 1/day 1 of their domians 5th level spells (choose which domain when you choose the feat)

Druids- can take a feat which allows them 1/day to use Summon Natures Ally 5

Rogues- can take a feat which gives them an advanced rogue talent

Alchemists- I'm debating between 1 4th level infusion or allowing you to pick 1 discovery that you couldn't otherwise have due to level requirements.


Thoughts, comments?

I'm fine with that capstone.  Breath of Life is a pretty nice spell to be able to cast even 1/day, especially since we lack other resurrection options.  As for item, maybe a holy symbol?  Miriam's not really likely to be a major force in melee, so a weapon or shield doesn't seem that appropriate.

Dang, my grandma was there for a while and you know. Sorry.

Well, seeing as I have a point in Fly...how about Boots, Winged.

Hmm...all may only be taken once? I don't get what that means >.>

1 4th level Infusion? Do you mean Extract? A Infusion is a Discovery.

DM; I mean extract.
This message was last edited by the GM at 01:15, Sat 20 Aug 2011.

I don;t know what to get...

Posting now, definitely this time.

Sorry, sorry. I thought I posted at work earlier. The comp must of clonked out when I was not looking. T.T

Story will advance this afternoon.

Alright.

Okay...

Feel free to talk about what you want to do in the open.

Jan, get out of sight.  Let us "hunt " you.

pm

How would that work? I was thinking of breaking into the greenhouse... >.>

PM

Jan and Cat, I am adding something I realize you should know - I forgot to add before.  It's in purple.

Cat could add to the chaos by "chasing" Jan along with Murph.....

I am assuming Murphis is with/near Talis, Miriam and Tanrov.

Alone then....

I'm with you Cat. What am I? Chopped liver?

Alone .... without Murph.

Urm...

Game advances tonight, post actions asap.

Am I describing the situation adequatly?  Thoughts, comments, ideas?

PM...or can this be in the open?

The on;y unchecked area is the main floor of the house?

True, but I imagine that is 1 area the guards probably checked.  I noticed people have logged on, but not posted.  Is this scene confusing, boring, whatever?
This message was last edited by the GM at 12:42, Thu 01 Sept 2011.

Just confused.

PS I doubt I'll post again till Tuesday.

I find the scene confusing and totally misunderstand what Jan is doing, it sounds like he is running away but also doing something else at the same time.

Yeah, I'm fleeing via the roof tops.

I drink that Jump extract and the Spider Climb. >.>

This scene is obviously not working, so I will fast forward a bit.

  I am waiting to hear who is entering with whom and if you are doing anything specific for a cover story/fake names/etc...

Question: Can I sneak a pole weapon in a Handy Haversack or is that out?

Also did I have time to whip up another mutagen and can I get bombs in there too?

Sorry for my slowness lately, I have been chronically sick and my teachers are hardasses.

But seeing as it is the end of week 2, they mellowed out and are no longer threaten to drop people if they show up late. x.x

I should be able to post more actively now. :)

PS
What would the average NPC have in skill ranks in this E6 system? Would having a number above 6 be really good? I want to get a idea of skill proficiency. :p
This message was last edited by the player at 01:14, Fri 09 Sept 2011.

1 polearm in the large portion.
Yes - mutagen takes an hour, we'll say the group ate lunch while they planned, etc..
Yes- you aren't searched, so your bombs are not obvious.

Ranks in a skill need to include stat and wether or not it's a class skill.
I generally assume;
level
1 = kids, apprentices, those without much skill
2 = young adults, senior apprentices
3 = adults, journeymen
4 = mature adults (just before age penalties start kicking in), craftsmen
5 = older adults (with age penalties for physical stats), masters
6,7 = You must live an exciting life to reach these levels and have skill, talent and luck
8 = Top of the Heap!

So +6 in a skill is 2ranks+3class-skill+1stat = +6, senior apprentice level.  Journeyman = +7 to 9.  Master = +10 or more.

Hmm, cool! :)

That makes me a pretty okay gambler and a master liar. ;p

What are the rates of encountering these levels of people?

I assume it is like this.

Senior apprentice level: Common
Journeyman: Less Common, But Not Rare
Master: Rare

Or are Jouneymen and Masters rarer?
This message was last edited by the player at 02:13, Fri 09 Sept 2011.

Yes, Jan would make a great gambler.  You wouldn't HAVE to cheat, but you could get away with it if you wanted to try.  Though I should warn you, people who lose don't need proof to think you are cheating.  Losing is "proof" enough for most of them, even if you aren't cheating!

As for rates, generally they correspond (approx) to ages;
   -15  = 1
16 -20s = 2
20s-30s = 3
30s-50  = 4
50+     = 5

Poorer or less educated will advance 1 level slower.

Oddly, odds tend to skew for adventurers.  You tend to run into other folks who have led interesting lives.

Cool, cool. :P

Right...let's see what I can do...

The heal and know nature rolls are for looking around at the patrons and service staff and checking to see if they have visible symptoms of any sort of sickness/injury.

It is just flavor. So ignore it if you want. :)

Zer should be returning shortly.

YAY!!!

I have my moments.

Been meaning to ask...what is the full explanation of the Tanrov/Garth thing///I"m still a little fuzzy on that.

Short version;
Tanrov was an 11 yr old who died and became a ghost.  Garth died and Maras(the dead body from before) used a magic item to try to raise him, but Garth's spirit didn't want to return.  Tanrov's spirit was around when this happened and did want to live again, so he got pulled into the body.

...Okay. *nods*

Right, I need a clarification.

What do you mean by single action?

Would getting up and moving be considered the max one can do?

During a surprise round you may do either a move action OR a standard action, but not both.  An attack or spell are standard actions.  Look up actions in combat.

http://www.d20pfsrd.com/gamemastering/combat

Ah, sorry, I misunderstood the situations. :P

Posting now.

Please note I am going to say that standing from a sitting position replaces a 5' move.  Jan may do something in addition to standing up, and is probably within reach of the troll (hint, hint).  Zer and Talis can stand up if they want.  Jan/Zer/Talis can edit their posts to reflect this if they want to.

Wait...I'm within arms reach of the troll?!

OMG, crap. x.x

I need to get out of there...but I need to get to bed soon...class in the morning...

today was very long, and Cat has yet to post.  I will probably post wed night.

Stand, shmand, I stick with what I posted.  Cat is small enough to use as a shield in a pinch.

I'm sure Cat appreciates the thought.  Work today was much longer than I thought it would be, and I'm working on the next round. So Cat has another day.

Sorry, new wacky schedule. Will catch up. Tomorrow latest.

Will be off line Saturday morning through Monday evening

PM :P

I've noticed that everyone has logged on, but no one has posted.  Is this battle to confusing?  On the chance that the map isn't clear enough, I have added some details;

green dots indicate pc's
blue dots indicate obvious opponents
the rest are npcs of unknown motivation
red "X" = DEAD
yellow dot = down

Anybody want clarification?  Questions? Concerns?

I tried to make it clear, but maybe I failed.  What is happening, there was an ambush targeted at a certain halfling female(Sam), but they targeted the WRONG halfling female(Cat).  And it is also readily apparent that this is no ordinary tavern...

I honestly thought I had already posted. I remember typing it after your post. I may not have clicked the post button. I can be a real ditz at times.

Anyway, its up now. Sorry for the confusion.

Sorry, I tend to not be super active on the weekends.  I'd also kind of forgotten where the map was, and I was waiting for some other people to post first.  It's a trifecta of excuse-making!

pm

Been weirdly fatigued...slept...14 hours today...I think I have a cold...now I must go and buy my little brother food...after a shower...

I wasted my entire Sunday...I feel bad. x.x

Fair warning, I will post the next round tonight, (assuming I have time).

Posted next round, will work on updating the map wed night.

Alright, I am confused.  The dwarf waitress flanked with the troll and hit for damage on whom?

As Zer was attacked by the elf waitress I am assuming he can see her?

As the troll just removed the table that Cat and Zer were canoodling under I am assuming Zer can see him?

Cat, can you take a ground zero fireball?

Yes, you can see all of the above.

Zer got hit for 14 dam, sorry about the confusion.

I just got home from work and will start work on the map now.  I will be home all day thurs, so you can probably expect quick responses to questions.
This message was last edited by the GM at 20:08, Thu 29 Sept 2011.

Ground zero fireball??

Got to get to class soon, will post when I get back.

Sorry.

Can you take a 6d6 fireball? is what Zer is asking.  BTW Cat, the collie is Murphis, if you have a dog picture you would like to use instesd, let me know and I will change it.

I was hoping you would take Jan's lead and move away from the troll.  Typical tactics with LARGE NASTY STRONG foes, especially if they get multiple attacks is to move, accept the (hopefully) 1 aoo and force them to move to you.  Thus, they only get 1(regular) + 1(aoo) attack per round, instead of claw/claw/bite/bite/rend routine.  Standing still and trading blows is a spectacularly bad idea.  A normal troll would be bad enough, but this is a  smarter, bigger, stronger and 2-headed troll.

Really?  What's my target for the splash damage reflex save?

A map would truly help as I have no idea if I can five foot step away or into a flanking position.

Makes all other options other than fireballing/scorching ray to the troll tough to sort through by Saturday.

The maps are in the map thread.

10 + 1/2 the alchemist’s level + the alchemist’s Intelligence modifier

So...15 I think for the reflex save.

Hmm...I might be wrong about the splash damage, but I think you are at risk.

I am sorry for the trouble. x.x
This message was last edited by the player at 00:28, Sat 01 Oct 2011.

The troll is large enough that you can target him without risking anyone else.

Really? Okay, that is good to know. :P

Hmm, I am down to 7 bombs.

Should I put bombs in the spell thread?

Sure, thats a good place to keep track.

In reply to DM (msg #240):

I edited my action into my previous post.

Well, I was going to post the next round sat night, but put in a 12 hour day at work instead.  I will work on it and get it up sunday.

You have till tuesday night to post.

Sorry, family stuff. As for a dull fire ball blast, probably. If you roll all 6s, I'm our.

On the map blue is foe and green is us and yellow is?

Where is the gnome, as in can I fireball him and get none of the people I know - Cat, Talis, Tanrov...sorry newbies.

Yellow = "down"; but you don't know if they are dead, dying, just unconscious...you just don't know.

The gnome is the one with the flight arrow, flying right next to you, though he is 15' in the air.

I will try to post when I get back from class, which is in 6 hours.

There just isn't enough time for me to get the next round together tonight, but it's mostly done.  So those who haven't posted have 1 more day.


  Sam- You will not be able to charge, there isn’t enough room.  You can use the dog to move 5’ and both attack the troll.

Things just going wrong last few days. Sorry.

We seem to be disorganized and not working on getting ourselves out intact,  Can we agree on most important opponent (troll) and next (>) and then how we even the odds (Dispel magic on ?)

Seriously, otherwise Zer moves out the door.

My mom is going to San Diego for a week this Sunday to get checked out, and she is leaving me in charge of the shop for the duration.

I will be on more or less, but don't expect quickness when I am at work. Things have slowed down a lot, but the shop gets enough traffic to keep me busy.

I will mostly be on on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday when I got no class. Tuesday, Thursday I will have school.

I will definitely try to post at night, Pacific Standard Time. I will post soon today, because I will be home soon.

October sucks for me...well, my brother's birthday is on the 19th...hmm, I need to get him something too.

I really, really do not like how this month is starting for me. x.x

Jan you seem to be busy, but if you can just post an action that would be helpful.  That applies to everyone, at least a simple post of generic intended actions would help the game move along.

I already have my action posted, I'm waiting for results since it involves combat.

I will work on the map monday.

Welcome Logalog, he will be joining us.

Welcome, Logalog. :)

Maps up, I would like to get to the next round by wed night.

Right now, I'm giving us poor odds of surviving.

Ran out of time tonight, but should have plenty of time thurs...so expect the action to continue then.

Actually, I think you guys are doing ok.  Sure, most of you are hurting, but so are the people trying to kill you and they are hurting much worse.  Also, this really isn't just some random fight, there is a reason.  The halfling on the stage was also (porbably) the 1 at the townhouse, so you are on the right track.  There is obviously a cult connection with the Red mantis, now all you need to do is survive and find out where the cult is located.

Do I get a ride check to avoid the damage to my dog or was that a complete surprise?

Sorry, I forgot about your Mounted Combat feat...rolling...ok damage negated, I'll edit my post.
This message was last edited by the GM at 22:44, Thu 13 Oct 2011.

I agree we are doing okay but our group tactics are not optimized.  Right now we are fighting a battle by their rules and we are going to do no better than even in that kind of fight.

So I am outside and out of third level spells but willing to help, so give me some ideas.

Everyone;
Let's try to post by Sat.

Zer,
I have posted in the map thread the map of the whole building.
- the 1st floor windows are all blocked by wood or cloth.
- the door behind the bar was blocked by shelves.
- the 2nd floor windows look normal (they are glass with shutters), at least a couple of shutters are open.
- the north doors are still doors, but are they locked or unlocked, nobody knows.
- Now the front entrance (that Zer just ran out of) appears closed.

I need help, I spilled soda on my wireless keyboard yesterday and I tried cleaning it off before going to bed.

Now it is not working right.

The lower left quarter is not working.

Anyone know if I can fix this?

Otherwise I think I am going to try and get it fixed tomorrow...or buy a new keyboard.

Aw man, why did this happen.

Jan once when I spilled an entire XL coffee into my keyboard the tech said if it has sugar in it (it did) you are doomed and you need a new keyboard otherwise, in theory it will dry out in time.

Hmm, I think I will just buy a new keyboard. x.x

Got a new keyboard, I am going to try and salvage my wireless one. x.x

Hmm, hope that post isn't too gross. ;p

Jan
While this game isn't adult, it is Mature...so your post is fine.  Now your character on the other hand is in a bit of hot water....

True, not that he can care at the moment.

All I can hope for is some long distance healing.

will post tonight...

I'm going to give you some advice, Rogues are REALLY FREAKING DANGEROUS in groups.  The best tactic is to focus firepower and take them down until they are alone.  And finishing off those that are down prevents them from being healed by Miriam's or Grigori's healing.

So just to make sure, no one is objecting/intervening with Jan slowly building up to trying to kill Grigori?

Sorry been dealing with a bad headache.

In reply to Jan Harlow (msg #303):

I know nothing.

Thanks Cat, I couldn't have done it without you.  Though Jan did create a great distraction.
This message was last edited by the GM at 02:44, Thu 03 Nov 2011.

Crap, I should of killed him when I had the chance. :P

Hmm, thinking of what to do now...brb...

Okay, at least now Grigori is confirmed to be up !@#$ creek with us.

You can try to beat his 10 initiative and attack him before he runs.  Though I imagine Jan's threats might have had a little (or alot) to do with him running.

done what??

I think lighting the building up.

Wake up the dwarf assasin that had been trying to kill the group so she could use her suicide enchantment (think of it like a magical cyanide tooth) and destroy the building.



Perhaps in msg 282 when she attacked (Cat and Zer), in 290 when she hits Zer again, 297 when she attacks Tanrov, 305 when she hit Zer somemore...

And the uninvolved/"innocent" injured HAVE been taken care of.  Miriam and Tanrov have been doing that while Cat has been pointing her spear at various people.  They rescued them from the fire and moved them next to the front door (msg 365 and 373).  They haven't made them conscious for 2 reasons,
- the 2 Garundi sailors have been posioned and need more than HP healing
- the Man is an important member of the City Council (called an Usher) and waking him up could have...consequences.

Let me spell it out for you.  The group has just killed several members of a secret Assasin organization and have destroyed 1 of their bases.  What do you think they will do when they find out?  Give you a medal?  No, they will hunt you down and kill you and your friends and family and pets and so on.  That is IF THEY FIND OUT.  Which is what both Grigori and Talis were working on until you and Jan scared Grigori away.
This message was last edited by the GM at 03:12, Sat 05 Nov 2011.

Hmm, actually I think only Jan scared Grigori away.

Cat is the one that woke up the assassin.

So if anything, Jan can only be blamed for being paranoid about Grigori.

Edit: Also Jan is not responsible for not stopping Cat...she has to take personal responsibility for not listening to her comrade to withhold treatment.

So yeah, Jan is only responsible for being a dick to Grigori, who Jan thinks was probably going to backstab the group.

Because of the whole switching alliances when your side lost thing.

Sam - I need a direction front or back door.

Cat - is likely to die since you didn't post an action.  She is just standing there confused and will probably burn to death.

Zer- the door you came in is the front, but most of the group is going out the back.  Are you still going out the front?

I think I was closer to the back door, so since I thought the building was about to go up, probably that way. The back door.

DM: Good, noted.

Should we do this introduction in character or out?

In.

Will be delayed until Thursday night.

Hopefully will be able to post tomorrow around Noon.

Got to go to bed, almost fell asleep in class. x.x

Can anyone charm or zone of truth our captive? Sensing our usual group uselessness my fallback is a long drag behind the boat until he sees the wisdom of telling us all he knows.  Seriously.

I can't do anything like that. Torture doesn't gain reliable information.

I can make a detect thoughts extract, then we question them.

If you can get the target to unbalance mentally, and he thinks the answer without saying it...we might be able to get a snippet?

Sorry, family related delays.

Just got back from K-Town, yesterday there was a late shifted. I need to rest a bit.

I will try to catch up and post in a few hours, tomorrow I can post definitely because I got work and it will probably be a slow day.

detect thoughts might help.  How long does it take to make one?  How are you going to get him to drink it?  If you force him to drink it he will be hostile.  You might want to try trickery.

It takes 1 minute.

Hmm, Detect Thoughts is this: http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/...ls/d/detect-thoughts

Would it be useful?

Edit: Damn, I got writer's block in this situation. :(

I know exactly what you mean.

Ok, give him the potion as a healing potion = good idea.  Now all I need is a plan to distract him during the min it takes.  A nice speech and maybe a social roll (diplomacy, bluff).

I didn't mean for this to get quite this complicated.

I am pretty sure that is not how it works? >.>

Are you ruling that we have to get him to take it so we can hear his thoughts?

I am a little confused.

Yeah, you're correct.  Someone needs to talk with him while Jan takes it.  I don't know what I was thinking.

It has been a week and no one addressed this situation in their posts.  What's up?  I would love to move on, but this is a situation full of potential ramifications that needs to be addressed before we do.  Why is no one addressing this?

I haven't addressed it because I've been standing there like an idiot with no idea what to do.

I have been chronically sick(and my home internet is acting strange), and well, I get the feeling that because I messed up the Gregori thing I should let the others handle it...

Hmm, did Jan abandon his cart and things or did he get to pick them up?

Right, maybe I can throw out some not so legal ideas or some such...I need to think about what Jan can offer as a idea...

Jan's cart and stuff are still back at the Inn where you guys spent the night.  You wouldn't have brought it into the Underbridge area.

Okay, cool, I'll have to get that ASAP before they get to it.

Hmm...right, I got to get going right now, I will try to post when I get back or on Wednesday afternoon.

There is a dinner-thing I got to do. BRB ASAP.

Since I came inmid-battle and am not fully cognizant of the situation I am leaving resolution to those who created it.  My Shadowrunning experience leaves me with naught but alignment breaking ideas.

Shadowrunning ideas?  Oh, do tell.

I had a post almost done, and my computer ate it, arghhh.  Save your work on a regular basis.

Sorry, work has been unusually busy this week.

Internet at home has been super buggy this last week.

I had Wednesday off, but I couldn't get online for anything but the search page for Google.

It seems to be working now, so I will try to post.

However, I think this might crap out on me when I hit Post... >.>

Right, my internet seems to be holding out so far...but I am not hopeful seeing as the character portraits just died and the rpol thing seems only half-loaded.

I have a question though.

How "evil" would it be to offer to be this Politico's drug dealer in return for a favor? >.>

I mean, I think we might be able to move him into sort-of asset category.

He'd never be in our pocket, seeing as we are not really geared for that, but Jan could one-time deal the drug for something(favor?)?

Is the drug illegal or harmful?  If not, then possibly.

I strongly suggest using the dust of disappearance when we raid the stronghold.  I don't have invisibility or change/alter self but that would also be good.

Can we buy/train/use more dogs?

It looks like me and the half-orc overlap quite a bit on spells.  If you are a fire sorceror then I will drop my fire spells and try to provide more utility.

Once we get into battle we should all agree on the most dangerous foe and take them out first, working together.

Hmm, wait, just for clarification.


Man...I think I cannot go with that idea...need something else...p,us I just realized I am broke and I have no way of making the drug anyway.

PS
I suck at character building, anyone have advice for what to use that feat for?

Oh, almost forgot. :P

Can I use this feat to get a Alchemist Discovery or do I need to pick a feat?

Because I qualify for the Wings Discovery and I have a point of Fly that I realized I spent for no particular good reason... ^.^'

Or seeing as how I seem to be getting damaged a lot, Spontaneous Healing (EX) seems good...free action once per round I heal 5HP and get 15HP back a day...but Explosive Bombs or Precise Bombs also look good given the enclosed space we are going to be dealing with.

In reply to Jan Harlow (msg #336):

I'm struggling to choose my own feat.
