Welcome to the game!

Welcome to the game Ardis!

woohoo!

Welcome Ardis...oooh half drow....

Mostly all covered up so people think I'm a Lepore. Fun times ahead.

Hmmmm...interesting...*intrigued*

yeah, gotta find a good photoshare site.

Welcome to the game Zin!

Hello everyone!

Welcome!

Looks like we got a interesting group going!

Also keep in mind:
Level 3
3000 gold

Once done with your sheet lemme know :)

I think I'm done, hopefully I didn't forget anything. His Majesty, Lord Google bestowed me a pretty cute picture, and I think the only time I hit a snag is that Muleback Cords and a Cloak of Resistance eat the same item slot, so I had to give that up for more carry weight. Smol scaled ladies with low strength scores don't heft so well.

So everyone all set so far? Any questions for me?

So you want the group to know eachother beforhane or no? You can also be a member of the guard if you want or a wandering merchent, someone looking for coin, ect.

Zin is kind of a wandering philanthropist type (to the best of her ability...), so she tends to work with a lot of different kinds of people, I'd imagine she's traveled with merchants, worked with guards, and such before so anyone might have met her before this if they like the idea.

Also thanks to the DM for the heads up on Apsu.

Work was busy this week, I'll be finished tomorrow.

So we got a ranger (Archer), gunslinger and a soreror. Think we need a healer, rogue type and a warrior?

Working on a rogue at the moment.

Got a Magnus (Armored Battlemage)

A magus, but yes. Hello all. Working on the full details, but essentially a magic off tank, unless we don't get a tank, then just magic tank.

Let me know if there is a weapon or armor that you aren't proficent with that you think would work for your character in a PM.

Like I viewed Rogues should have Kurkris. Makes total sense.

I am fine here, but thank you.

Let me know when all your characters are all set.

Thanks.

I will try to finish my character up tonight. It's been a hell of a week...

Down to the ranger, sorceror, rogue and gunslinger.

Hoping to get a healer type and a warrior.

Hailie: Gotcha!

Zin: Will post soon. I think the rogue is done, just need to do a few bits of gear and 1 trait.

*bows*

Hat of disguse is going to be very interesting.

*WAVES*

Sorry back, had a house fire and it took longer to get replacement stuff then I was originally told, back in action.

That's awful, I'm sorry to hear that.

WIll shoot a post out tommorow!

And that does suck! Hope no one was hurt!

roll call!

*Smol roar*

Waiting on posts :)

The gunslinger unfortunatly had to leave :(

Aww, that's unfortunate.

Waiting on some posts!

hello

Waiting on the ranger and sorceror :)

Anyone know of someone interested in playing this game?

We may get a male elf cleric of Sarenrae.

Ooh fingers crossed!

Good luck! Hopefully they'll be nice, if we do~

Magic Turkey

Shall I fast forwards to the next morning? Wasn't sure if you wanted to get to know eachother beforehand or want to assume you got to know eachother and off on the quest?

Everyone: Level up to 4!

Sorry busy from work and will post tommorow!

Sorry for the delay! Busy with work! I will post tommorow!

I will shoot out a post tommorow!

Everyone make a Perception check.

hopeing the paladi is still around.

Sorry for the delay, need to get back into it!

Hi guys, Paladin is still here. I'll turn in my sheet by 2maro for inspection and hopefully I'll jump in game soon.

Mmm a full elf and a half elf... ;)

And a paladin and a cleric too ...

I think between a cleric, paladin, ranger, rogue and sorceror think it covers everything.

My comment had nothing to do with the roles and our rate of survival... *innocent grin*

I know :)

I will try and post soon. We had a death at work Friday :(

Damn, that's harsh. Sorry to hear that, hope their family is doin' alright in the aftermath.

He was the nicest guy to everyone, always putting a smile on your face. Coming up with some interesting logic. I was doing courier work in his absence, found out on Friday after a coworker texted me :( He will definatly be missed.

I will shoot out a post today or tonight.

BTW anyone who didn't do a Perception check can do it if they want.

Anyone interested in another game of Pathfinder or Star Wars game? I also started up Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil 3.5.

chirp chirp

If you guys want to fight the goblins, going to need initiative.

Waiting on posts :)

I'm away from internet till tomorrow afternoon; wil react than with a post.

Alright!

Waiting on some posts too.

Hoping the sorceror logs on. I'll give him till this weekend.

Welcome to the game Jemimwitt

Hi everyone! I'll be playing a Halfling Cavalier.

Welcome Molg!

Man got 2 new people in like 3 hours lol

Welcome both; seems we're gone meet a small party on the road!

So, I'm playing a Hussar Dog Rider.

I'm just debating a few character options, mainly light or medium armor.

For weapons, I'm going to take lance and shield.

Just as a caveat, I've been playing RPG's forever, but I've only played Pathfinder a few sessions. Any tips for generation is appreciated.

Waiting for the current group to post.

Jem and Molg workong on their characters.

Thanks! Welcome aboard!

I am thinking we need a new arcanist.

Updated my post. Unfortunatly the kobold had to leave :( But if it returns, I will let the group know and keeping it as a NPC so we will need a new arcanist :(

Gonna assume the group helped Sam out to hide the bodies right?

Not sure about the fighter, hasn't logged on.

The Cavalier is all set. I got ideas on how to get him in.

Hi folks.  My real name is Will.  My character is Molg a dwarven Fighter.  I'm just putting my character sheet into the RPOL format.  AFter that I wait for GM to approve and introduce my character.

Ok! Character should be finished now, waiting for approval and intro.

We now got a half-orc witch

I made a cart area for the group.

BTW Dream? Wishing the people that just tried to kill you peace in the afterlife? :)

Sarenrae is a goddess who teaches temperance and patience in all things. Compassion and peace are her greatest virtues, and if enemies of the faith can be redeemed, they should be.
Dreamljocht doesn't bless the dead, only whishes them peace.

Sam just looks like a human bum :)

Lost the fighter.

Heya,

I'll be playing Barae, the half-orc witch, born and raised by the orcs and now venturing into human lands. I'm looking forward playing with you all.

waiting on some posts.

Not sure if it was known (maybe last game) that goblins were a big a threat? Stay inside the city your safe, venture out and well....lol

Due to family events, I will be less responsive the coming week, perhaps up to two weeks and especially the coming days. I'll try to minimize the disruption as much as possible.

Welcome Dove!

So we got:
Aasimar Sorcerer
Tielfling Rogue
Human Ranger
Halfling Cavalier
Half-Orc Witch
Half-Elf Cleric

Do we need anything else? We don't have a up front fighter but we got the rogue (melee) and cleric. Hmm.

A full elf cleric!

Relax Dream! Simple mistake lol

Oh! Didn't notice I was added at first, hello everyone. A pleasure to meet you.

I put down for the character sheets:
+1 Skill Point or +1 HP (not at level 1)

So +1 for 3 levels.

Thanks!

In reply to Dungeon Master (msg # 97):

Huh, yknow I always forget level 1 doesn't count to FC. Thanks for that DM!

That's not what a full elf would think a simple mistake! Lol!

BTW Barae doesn't live in the woods. He was attempting to follow them into it.

Typcial-wolves, bears, forest natural creatures. Doesn't mean some other creatures are lurking about. They are woods. Course there could be other creatures like fairies and giants and flying unicorns and.....

Anyways. Yes. Basic woodland creatures. There's a ton that could creep up. And others I can create so asking whats in them no one knows but me and I'm not saying a word.

Its a adventure! lol

Now I want to make Gollum....

Precious precious....

So thinking of fast-forwarding.

Who take watches?

First Watch-Sam, 1 more
Second Watch-2 needed
Third Watch-1 needed

(Only got 5 people so if somewant wants to stay up to third, cool.

In reply to Dungeon Master (msg # 101):

I'll take third on my own, since Muffins can keep an eye (and ears and nose) out as well.

Who take watches?

First Watch-Sam, 1 more
Second Watch-Dreamljocht, 1 needed
Third Watch-Jem/Muffins

Lets get hunting :)

(OOC So, did they not wake me up or did they just fall asleep instantly after they got me up? I'm not sure how they could be asleep when my shift starts otherwise)

Sorry. Dream and Halie woke you up. Wrote it before bed lol!

Barae and Sam are still sleeping unless someone wakes then up.
This message was last edited by the GM at 14:17, Sun 23 May 2021.

It's all good. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't something like I woke up and everyone was asleep, which would have implied either big league incompetence or magic used on the PC's.

Yeah. Hitting everyone with say Sleep wouldnt work for like 8 hours lol!

So who has a tent? The wagon is covered so can sleep inside. Or by the fire-probably the most comforable. We'll say its got blanks, typical living supplies for a decent journey. No magical stuff.

Think waiting on Halie and Dream? Everyone else besides Jem is asleep.

Hope you'll all be okay!

Waiting on posts and I got a idea to get you into the group Dove!

if you want we can assume the group waits till down and the tracks can be found, followed and bring you to...

Sure, ok, lets skip to dawn.

A goblin warrior 1 has a +10 stealth. So definatly sneaky. Throw in say a rogue and its pretty impressive.

Without ranks a goblin gains a +8 to stealth.

Waiting on posts :) The group is like 200+ feet away-I made it so any stealthy people got close and came back but kept their distance.

RIP Muffins. You'll be missed. Have fun chasing down goblins in the sky!

Interesting question: Whats a odd class for a goblin? (not on here) lol

In reply to Dungeon Master (msg # 122):

In my experience I don’t usually see them with the more unique cha based classes like Swashbuckler myself

I actually play a Goblin Bard once. It was interesting.

I will post up tomorrow. Time got away from me today and I have to go to work now!

Sam (25)
Dreamljocht (21)

Barae hasn't logged on since Saturday so he won't partake in this fight.
This message was last edited by the GM at 17:26, Fri 11 June 2021.

let me know which goblins are being targetted.

Ones by the cave are the farthest away. One by the pit is the closest.

You can't charge the ones by the cave due to the forest, ect. They are about 60' away. One by the firepit is about 30' away-it can be charged.

I'm assuming the one being attacked is the goblin by the firepit right? Its the closest.

Yeah, that tracks.  The closest.

My posting is liable to continue to be very spotty until the end of next week. I work for Amazon right now and with Prime Week coming up...it has been hell.

No prob. I can NPC you for now :)

I'll post for Halie and Sam. Still need Dream and Jem to post ICly but they don't seem to see the group!

Basically its about 30-40' to the entrance with a campfire in the middle. THe goblins are at the entrance with the creature.

Waiting on Jem!

Geez. Ogre only got a 10 to hit Jem lol!

Well, it certainly beats being crit :)

Hell week is over and I am somewhat recovered so I will try to catch up here!

If he crit you, he'd have done 4d8+14 damage!

Halie:
Awesome :)

So my action was already done so I will jump in on the next round. :)

Cool. Group still has 2 goblins to destroy lol!

Bum:
Sam looks like well a human bum. He wears a old cloak.

https://cdn.images.express.co.....jpg?r=1568789812115

Essentually he looks like the above minus the mask and has a hood to hide some of his face. Its more 'bum like' like more ragged.

Sam (Tielfling) Kinda like below. Didnt put much thought into it lol! He looks more 'gruff'
https://images.kanka.io/user/Z...fXN.jpg?webpfallback

Right now he's the bum and hasn't revealing he's actually a tielfling.

Wait wait wait. THe dog is unconsous so how can it lick you? Its not even moving :)

Ok. Post deleted.

Jemimwitt is too concerned about his dog to adress Dove in that case.

Yeah good thing we got healing available...if it helps.

*grins* Don't worry Muffin is alive.

In reply to Jemimwitt Haethy (msg # 147):

Trimmed post to remove Jemimwitt from it then

Dove: aasimar Worshiper of Desna and a sorceror

Sam: tiefling Bit of a thief/assasin

Big difference lol

Think they are total opposites

I know this...Halie doesn't.

Yeah I know but I find it to be amusing.

It'll be interesting to see if/when Sam reveals himself.

Not sure of hat of disguise works all the time...

Thinking its always up unless Sam drops it or is knocked out.

That's quite generous! I'll put it in STR. Thanks and happy 4th of July!

Normally I give out bonuses on my birthday, something special happens, holidays, ect :)

Keep in mind the group is still back at the goblin area.

Do we have someone that can cast Detect Magic and identify stuff? :)

Sorry, not in my spells; I have Spellcraft as a skill, but that's it.

Alright. Don't think we need Idenfity to know what the items do but we got a longbow, a belt, chain shirt and goggles by the fire. Sam doesn't know if they are magical but they look out of place.

Perhaps Dove as a sorcerer?

https://www.d20pfsrd.com/skills/spellcraft/

Clerics can do it if they have Detect Magic and decent Spellcraft. Pretty sure Dove can do it as well.

No Detect Magic in my list; Spellcraft +5 (as elf +2 for identifying makes +7)

Clerics do have detect magic though. Probably don't have it memorized.

So after a night of rest and recovery I could take it in my list for a new day

Yea Dove has Detect Magic and Spellcraft +5.

And it's not in my limited list of known spells ... SO all is on you Dove

I don't see how Clerics are even remotely limited :)

They get all of their spells, you probably don't have it memorized plus you get the domain abilities.

Clerics are probably one of the strongest classes. Like I said you probably don't have it memorized. I think its a level 0 or 1 spell.

In reply to Dungeon Master (msg # 167):

It's a level 0 and Detect Magic is if i recall correctly on pretty much every level 0 spell list; only limitation clerics get is how many orisons they can memorize.

Now should this be an IC thing or shall I just roll it for the sake of moving on quickly?

That's the kicker: Would your character do it without asking? They are left by the fire, near Sam as he's talking.

In reply to Dungeon Master (msg # 169):

Nope. It's a great way to include her in the party loot, but as is she feels like she's not planning to stay due to Sam and touching the groups 'stuff' without being asked isn't okay in her eyes.

Well he just doesn't trust her. Most of the time I play out most characters as not being trustworthy of people joining. Trust is something earned :) Others seem to not mind Dove and its not like Sam is being confrontational. Like if you go to sleep, he ain't going to kill you.

In reply to Dungeon Master (msg # 171):

Oh no a little distrust is absolutely valid; I don't blame him either. On the flip side though it logically will also push away newcomers to not want to stick around.

I mean if I'm hanging out with a group and the shady dude with a knife has me on edge, I'm uh not gonna keep hanging out with stabby mcstabster unless I trust his friends to keep him in check.

BTW why does it seem the NPC is the leader? LOL!

Don't like that haha.

Sam looks like a bum that's really really good with knives. So Hannibal Lector :) J/K

Not like Sam is telling you to leave.

Think it'll be interesting when Sam reveals himself.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuJnvC8voJY

She is so good. I like the Verona Boys too.

In reply to Dungeon Master (msg # 175):

Oh yea, I'm definitely a fan of her work.

Could figure out what to do with the items with DM since the ranger and rogue are gone too.

Touching the parties things without permission when the rogue threatened to stab her if she seemed a threat to the party? Yea; hard pass.

Well he's not around for now but alright :)

Its not his stuff its the groups stuff but okdokey!

Need permission, I get it haha.

Shoot ahead?

I am okay with moving on to the morning.

In reply to Dungeon Master (msg # 182):

Apparently I joined at a good time?

Not you Dove. Nope.

J/K. Level it on up.

Updated my post to reflect my confirmation of Identify as a known spell. Considering my horrible spellcraft check but amazing UMD I feel like this is gonna be a good fit.

Proper item identification.

Composite Longbow +1
Chain Shirt +1
Goggles of Minute Seeing
Belt of Fortitude (+1 Fort saves)

Thinking:

Composite Longbow +1: Haile

Chain Shirt +1: Maybe Dream or Jem?

Goggles: Sam

Belt of Fort +1: Really works for anyone

In reply to Dungeon Master (msg # 187):

Honestly belt might be best for Rogue if we may run into traps. Poisons are usually fort saves and a failed disable device could get him poisoned. Unless a general resistance item it’s pretty niche; Poisons, Diseases and several touch spells come to mind.

Well Sam has a Disable Device of +15 :)

The group is in the wilderness so getting poisoned from traps I'm fine. Course he runs into combat....

I'm not going to have Sam pick who gets what as its me being the DM taking the role :)

If Jem can wear it, the shirt would be pretty cool. He's always going to be in the thick of it and wears light armour.

I'll say it will shrink down to small size. It is magical.

A cavalier can use it without penatly.

Prestidigitation is probably my favorite orison just for the ability to clean things.

Just realized something.

Sams got a Hat of Disguise so techically, he can make the goggles look like something else no?

In reply to Dungeon Master (msg # 193):

He can! But by doing do he admits he agrees with Doves fashion choices :)

Well maybe he likes them. But being a bum, he wants to look like he's well a bum :) So if he changes it he will wait till she goes to sleep.

I should go Alchemist as Sam at some point lol

Jem's AC: 20
Dreams AC: 17

I'd give the Chain Shirt +1 to Dreams :)

https://www.d20pfsrd.com/class...aracter-advancement/

Didn't realize this (thanks Dove!) at level 5 you get a feat. Didn't realize you get a feat every other level.

So 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, ect normal feats.

In reply to Dungeon Master (msg # 197):

Welcome. As someone who plays both 3x and Pf I realize why its so easy to stumble going back and forth on feats.

Wow, I had no idea either. For sure I thought you got it at 6.

If he's going to be on the front line, I agree. For some reason I assumed he was wearing better armor than that.

Really its up to the group. If Jem wants it, its all good.

BTW I took Quickdraw for Sam. It fits lol!

No problem with the chain +1 for Jem; although I tend to be a frontliner too, I'll manage (and all those healing spells come quite handy ...)
Next armor could be mine (or not for full plate)

Also ICly no one is using the Chain Shirt +1 and the Belt correct?

Jem: Chain Shirt +1
Sam: Goggles
Haile: Composite Longbow +1
Dream: Belt?

Also if not having leveled up to 5 please do soon :)

I will level up tomorrow. I start my new job tonight! :)

Congrats!

So the ranger is like 30' away scouting and whatnot with everyone back at the wagon and Dove inside the wagon?

Also if Jemm is where the chain shirt +1, we can say with all the different bits and whatnot, his old Mastercraft Chainshirt can be given to Drean and his old armor can go into the wagon for safekeeping.

Thanks Dreamljocht. Is there any particular reason your character doesn't wear medium or heavy armor?

RE post 208: Jems old MW chainshirt is not magical, so it can't fit an elf.

RE post 209: There is no particular reason for Dreamljocht stick to his lighter armor now, but he feels protective over his companions. He probably will choose last if it goes about protective things as armor

It is better then your old armor hence why I am stating with all the different armor and whatnot you can make it work for a elf. If not, alright. It is better then what your armor is. If you don't want it, alright. MW Studded vs MW Chain Shirt. Normally it will not fit a elf but yeah see above. Its all good either way (see 208). I dont think anyone has craft armor but its minor to 'adjust' it.

Leveled to level 5; wearing the Belt of Fortitude

Anyone not leveled up?

If you took the magic items, armor can be put in the wagon so Jem's old armor is in the wagon?

Inked and ready to go!

I think I'm good now.

Sam: Not caring about everyone to starting to show emotions.

Stress lol :)

https://images.fineartamerica....wagon-dana-doyle.jpg

Wagon kinda looks like that. Its good for storing gear and for someone to sleep in if others are leading the way. Everyone can actually rest inside of it but it would be tight. Bottom part of it has storage, basic needs for longtime survival (nothing magical unless its something found). No herbs or anything for that nature. But blankets, warm clothing, ect.

If you want to put anything in the cart please do. There's a Cart area as well-want to keep pt up to date :)

I'm assuming Jem took the +1 Chain Shirt and put the other in the cart?

Got Haile, Sam, Dream and Dove.

Your up Jem (can just edit your post or make a new one)

Is Jem still alive?

Yes. Got 20 HP left.

Waiting on Haile, Dream and Dove.

Is Jem in reach of the bear or save enough for a touch spell?

I'd say you can manever around the bear to touch the cavalier, sure. Doesn't have reach. I viewed it as you got hit Dream, started backing up and the cavalier got between you.

In reply to Dungeon Master (msg # 231):

Sorry life’s been hectic with sons school starting this week! Posting now!

Am I up or shall I wait for Halie first? I think, given the amount of damage this thing will take, the best bet is to take an AOO and then charge again. I do about three times as much damage that way (assuming I roll higher than a 2 next time!).

I'll post as Halie. She's probably busy.

While you are at it, feel free to make an attack of O against jemim as he tried to withdraw for another charge. Mobility and dodge against the bear.

Good thinkg Dream healed you Jem. I'd suggest Dream RUN AWAY! lol Disengage.

Geezus nice shot!

Alright waiting on Dream and Dove :)

Single target and room to manuver is usually a good environment for chargy cavaliers.

So Dream, 5' step back and casting it?

Yes
If possible

Prayer is for every compagnon within 40 feet, and against all enemies in the same circle. Thus not only Sam, and the bear is affected as well (negative)

That's pretty nifty.

posted as Hailie so wating on Jem, Sam, Dove and Dream.

Same as last turn: take an attack of opportunity by withdrawing and then charge if the bear is still standing.

Man you need Ride-Bye Attack lol

Gotta post :) You go right after Halie so it won't be dead.

Debating how to play this.

I decided to reread the Dire Bears description before I came to the decision, Rip Dire Bears Cubs for lacking cuteness. Gonna remove any chance of Dove being empathic to it.

its matted fur is broken in places by wicked, bony growths.

Even the cub probably looks horrifying. For someone with no ranks in Knowledge Nature; I'm going the route of 'that thing looks diseased'.

A dire bear is not diseased nor looks deceased. Its just bigger, stronger and tougher. Also, I'm assuming you got the weapon drawn on a cub or in general on the group. In Sams eyes-its a bad thing and you have a weapon and are heading for the group plus he doesn't know you. Keep in mind also you never seen a dire bear probably. So not really sure how a dire bear cub isn't cute? Its a matter of opionion. Really its a matter of opinion.

As I said I looked at the description of a dire bear in pathfinder and it emphasizes matted fur that’s broken in places by wicked bony growths.

So unless your hand waving it as a larger then average bear, it’s covered in bone…. Spikes? Chunks? Coming out of its fur likely randomly.

If I met a larger then normal animal with random chunks of bone sticking out of its fur I can promise you I’d be thinking less floofy and more resident evil.

Also she’s publicly stating the bear needs to be put down so Sam should be able to figure out why she’s loading a crossbow?

I get it but ICly you load a bolt and start walking towards the group. Sam doesn't know you. Probably didn't see the magic you did as he was fighting the bear and views this as what he will do-protect the group. New person still involved moving at them.

Sams eyes-Dire Bears are bad but stumbling across a mother or father with a cub in the wilderness that's protecting it? I get it.

Not handwaving anything. Kill it, move on. OOC, cool. IC? Not everyone will be willing to back it. Haile's a ranger that doesn't seem to want to fight animals but will. So its up to Dream and if the ranger wants to put it down-alright.

I like the climatic thing!

In reply to Dungeon Master (msg # 253):

Sure; the entire reason she took a round to load her crossbow rather then attack was to allow party chat. but to be fair Doves not ‘approaching’. She’s been standing there for 2 rounds and just took her crossbow off her bag and began loading it.

Alright, posted edited. Thought you were approaching. Its all good!

Okay so at this point questions;
Are we still in a combat round?
I generally assume we can’t use social skills on other PCs but should I be throwing down social skills on Sam since he’s technically an NPC?

No not in combat and no cannot use any social skills to pull off getting what the group wants from Sam because hes a NPC. Now if he was enchated or whatnot, I'd allow it. I view him as a PC not a NPC.

Ironcially you can heal the bear Dove :)

Dream: Come on...

lol

Honestly I didn't expect the group to possibly get a Dire Bear Cub.

Oh I was just thinking of intimidation honestly.

Well Dove became the new leader lol.

Everyone just met Dove. And Sam is defensive. I think it'll be clear up when Sam drops his charade of being a bum.

I made Sam and when he meets a new person, he's not going to automatically be like 'Your my best friend' :) Sam isn't a bad guy.

Ironically, Sam has Fire Resistance and Evasion!

In reply to Dungeon Master (msg # 260):

Actually I’d state Jem did. Dove just wasn’t willing to get her life threatened again and take it.

Also she teeechnically didn’t threaten to kill Sam; just set him on fire. But that’s semantics.

Well burning him is a threat that can possibly kill him but that's null and void.

Updated my OOC post btw.

In reply to Dungeon Master (msg # 260):

Yes but Dove doesn’t know that :)

Geez everyone against Sam. No love.

Jem's CG, so he really doesn't want to bark orders to people or anything.

But Sam trying to run things by threatening to kill people with a crossbow (and I can't believe I have to type this) was not acceptable.

Let me put forth my reasoning.

Even if sam thought she was threatening the party (which is weird considering she could have stabbed us in the back when we were fighting the bear, and is a mage who was literally casting magic missile in the fight) it was pretty clear she was talking about the bear cub and saying it was unwise to heal it.

To discourage her, he didn't say "no", or "the others decide" or even "Halie decides, end of story" or even lightly imply violence with a "You shoot that bear and you'll be sorry."

Nope, he drew a crossbow and straight-up threatened to drop her the second she questioned the wisdom of healing the bear (which was immediately jumped into without PC discussion), and then when asked to please town it down and talk this out, ordered Jemimwitt NOT to tell him to chill.

There is a difference between being a taciturn spy and being a violent killhappy edgelord.

Sam told Dove to drop it as he felt the group was threatened. Also, I appreciated your view on it. Also its the bear not the cub. In his eyes-she drew a weapon. Doesn't matter what she is doing with it. The way I went about it was wrong but that's how Sam thinks.

Sam doesn't threaten no one so not sure what that came from. He never threaten Jem or anyone (besides Dove but that was once or twice) He doesn't trust Dove. No one asked why. No one got into it or asked him why.

Sam and Jem will talk later if Sam is around. He gets it and was/is upset but everyone backing Dove in his eyes makes no sense either.

Sams got a shortbow not a crossbow BTW.

Keep in mind: She threatened to burn Sam yet that apparently wasn't take into consideration. It seems like the post was against Sam. So did Jem say anything? Nope.

Just my 2 cents. I don't want to keep going back and forth with this and want to lighten the mood.

In reply to Jemimwitt Haethy (msg # 265):

Only thing you got wrong was that Sam drew his bow because Dove was Armed. That said, Dove did take out her crossbow to give the party time to object or approve.

It's amusing because if Dove had a K: Nature check she might not have been so quick on 'we should kill it', albeit she probably would have gotten there eventually. Dire bears are scary as hell when you consider them both attitude and look wise. They sound hyper territorial which means the cub is pretty much just incidental, it would have tried to murder us just for being in 'its road'.

Actually looking at the post he drew after you (and has Quickdraw). So your wrong in that aspect, Dove. He wouldn't have drawn the bow if he felt safe.

Either way, seems like everyone is against Sam yet Dove threatened to burn him but that was overlooked which baffles me. But eh.

Oh god yes Dire Bears look evil but the way it was approache was bad. Dream came around the corner with his scimitar drawn which in its eyes threatend the bear and its cub hence it attacked. The group walked into its terratory. So it defended itself.

As for 'which baffles me'.... your pool is Jem. And Jem called out both of them at first before Sam stormed off. So I'm confused what you mean about her threat being overlooked. Dream hasn't responded to the threats, Dove and Sam are on opposite sides, and Halie is away.

Jem it seemed to me by the way didn't hand-wave her threatening Sam either.

"not threatening to shoot people with a blasted crossbow or spells."

But that's just my perspective. Obviously Dove feels Sam is in the wrong or she wouldn't have threatened him.

Personally I think Jem is defiantly against Sam. Same as Dove. Haile will probably back Sam but have choice words with him but not be against Dove. Dream will probably back Dove.

So really its everyone against Sam even though no one knows Dove. Course no one really knows Sam so its a bit of a conundrum.

It appears I made the entire situation worse for Sam even though he was defending the group in his eyes from Dove but the tide turned against him.

Seems like everyone believes Sam is wrong but he had good intentions but thats null and void.

Can we change the subject?

Sam left. He's somewhere.

I'm going to have to make a Dire Bear cub aren't I? LOL Or a Bear Cub.

Just looked at the damage: Jem hitting it would knock it into the negatives like -9 or -10.

Think the group needs weed :) And ale.

Make perception checks if looking for Sam or in general looking around. Thanks!

So the group is back at where the bear was taken down, and its buried elsehwere. Its starting to get dark. I don't think the group anynone has Darkvision? You can travel for awhile before it gets dark or can camp out. Whatever works!
This message was last edited by the GM at 21:17, Sat 07 Aug 2021.

No ale, but I've plenty of mead :>

Weed is legal in my country, though that's more my partner's thing.

No ale, wine please, or calvados.
Weed is legal in my country too, but I never tried it. Often smelled the distinct aroma.

I was kidding.

I know; lol.

Yeah, it's hard to miss. Even when it was illegal that smell was everywhere where I grew up.

Between the edibles, vape and drinkable weed sodas and teas you can get from the local government weed store, I actually smell weed a lot less now, weirdly.

Calvados sounds really interesting. I'll have to try a bottle sometime.

Mead is worth trying some time if you have the opportunity.

*finding the posts to be ironic*

Anywho.

Thinking middle ages, Mead and Ale are the most available. Wine depending on the locations.

Calvados?

I tried Peanut Butter Ale (Think that's right? Maybe whiskey) It was pretty good.

Calvados is French (Normandy), made from apple cider. Comes close to some cognac. I learned it to drink visiting the D-Day beaches with my parents in 1975, i think.

Waiting on Dove to post.

Haile is taking care of the baby bear.

These days, craft brewers put EVERYTHING into beers. Peanut butter pairs nicely with the strong malt tastes of dark ales, porters and stout. I've had a few nice radlers (beer and juice, usually grapefruit or lemon) this summer.

Love me a good cognac, though I don't drink it very often. My family and my wife's family is Scottish, so whiskey is more traditional on special ocasions.

The great thing about mead is that it's fairly hard to screw up since honey is lightly antimicrobial. I'll bet mead's been "discovered" thousands of times throughout history when someone left a barrel of honey out and it got water in it and "spoiled".

It can still oxidize and turn to vinegar or get culture growths if you leave it out, but compared to most other forms of fermentation it's pretty forgiving. By modern standards though, it'll taste like jet fuel if you stress the yeasts and don't give it time to mellow, of course.

Sam's the new BBEG!

Works for me.

Seriously though Dove's just got rough vibes with the dude and after threatening to kill her stormed off and dissapeared. Anyone with a bit of danger sense would be wary here imo.

Yeah no. Doesn't work for me.

Goblin alchemists put everything into beer :)

I would like a Perception check please from everyone. Thanks.

JFI: Its nightime, not daytime.

Also if spells were cast, they have not been regain as of yet. So Dream's spells need to be pray for again, ect.

06:48, Today: Dove Laneri rolled 23,8 using 1d20+3,1d20+5.  Perception (Dove, Stripes).

Wasn’t sure if you wanted results in other thread or here so responding here. Dove is apparently hyper alert right now.

 Looking human with Darkvision is probably gonna give something a nasty surprise too

Dove, no one can tell if you have Darkvision unless you specifically state it. You look human other then having a familiar come out of you and have tatoos. Unless you tell them your a Aasimar.

Waiting on Haile

Man we got a zoo.

A dog
A skunk
A baby bear
A animal companion (Pieto)
2 horses for the cart

We just need a Catboy/girl and a penguin!

Sure....

Anyways.

Dream is set.
Waiting for Dove to post.
I'll shoot out a post for Haile if she's busy.

Catgirl or boy that's a druid with a animal companion of a cat that can change itself into a cat.
This message was last edited by the GM at 18:34, Fri 13 Aug 2021.

Band of druids are their own zoo.

Sorry...not busy more like letting my hands recover from work. This week was super busy and with all the heavy lifting...my hands have been very stiff and sore. Sorry!

Its all good Haile!

Will get a post up a little later or tomorrow but Dove is up to 0 damage so may wanna fix the post.

All set.

Chirp chirp.

Welcome to the game, Roger. Dwarf Fighter.

kinda surprised we don't got a gunslinger.

Think we are all set.
Got-Cleric, Ranger, Rogue, Sorceror, Cavalier, Fighter

Thank you.  I ran a campaign once with a gunslinger and swore I would never play one, always seemed way overpowered and personally I prefer the more traditional approach.  Looking forward to see where this journey leads!

Hi and welcome!

Well how are they overpowered? Your limited on gunpowder, not allowing (for now) any type of revoler or rifle, and can't easily get more then 1 shot a round without some certain feats. Easier if you say go with a hand gun but still can be hard. Def want Rapid Reload. Honestly, I don't see anything overpowered about it. Heck a Wizard at level 5 is more powerful IMO.

If you go with say two-weapon fighting, you'd get 2 shots and have to reload. That's a turn as it takes a move action to reload and you got 2 guns.

Anyways welcome to the game!

Waiting on posts :)

Welcome Rogar, have fun and we'll have it too.

Keep in mind unless you walk to it or charge, the creature is 20' away.
AC: 16

Jem: You hit

Make sure to add this to your bio with the correct numbers:
HP /; Init +; AC ??
Fort ?; Will ?; Reflex ?

Damage was 23, will do.

I'm a little busy this week with IRL stuff.

Yeah your spell finished him off, Dove.

So got 3 ankheg bodies. Anyone know how to make armor? lol

That was typical a thing for Baldur;s Gate I, if I remember well.

Yeah. I made one in Balders Gate II and maybe 3.

I don't think anyone can make it but its a idea.

Found out tonight my sister is pregnant! Gonna be a uncle again!

Congratulations!

Congrats!

In reply to Dungeon Master (msg # 316):

oh grats!

Waiting on some posts.

Was debating what to say, that'll do it.

 I will get the Dwarf into the group probably today.

All set for posts?

Woohoo!

Going to assume everyone will check out the small building?

Makes sense to me!

Well been waitng on Jem to post ICly as well.

Normally I wait for everyone to post before I post. Makes sense :)

Only Hailie and Sam made a move towards it if I recall so wasn't sure.
This message was last edited by the GM at 19:46, Tue 31 Aug 2021.

Ok, so, just to make it clear: there's no other buildings and we haven't seen any NPC's at all, right?

That is correct. You don't see anything on the outside at least. Its pretty quiet other then the normal sounds from a forest. The only building within eyeshot is the building at the base of the mountain, that uses part of it as a wall. Its definatly stone.

It really just looks like some sort of building, perhaps a inn on the side of the mountain that uses the natural resource as a 'wall'.

Anyways waiting on IC posts.

BTW just wearing basic clothes or are you armored Rogar?

In reply to Dungeon Master (msg # 330):

Rogar, not expecting any trouble did not don his armor but is wearing a dwarven waraxe at his hip.  His bright red hair is still in a bit of disarray but his beard is neatly tied in several long braids.

I assume everyone was inside not outside Dream but if you want to explore the outside, cool. Sams inside. Halie is probably inside? Not sure where Dove is yet or Jem.

Post edited.

The cavaliar left and will be killed off.

In reply to Dungeon Master (msg # 334):

Aww but I liked the Cavalier, I hope he manages to escape.

Honestly I'm not sure if Dove will end up sticking around without him. Hmm will have to consider that.

Well either way waiting on IC posts.

So do we need someone to full in a martial gap?

So Dove left. I will get a wanted thing up soon!

Welcome to the game Filivum

Thanks

Waiting on a few posts :)

I think everyone is inside.

My posting is spotty...I am trying to get back into a somewhat normal routine.

For those that don't know, my mom passed away last Friday and while I am still grieving...I need a normal routine to function.

Am sorry to hear about your mom. My condolences.

Halie, my condolences.

BTW Make a Perception Check. Fili's invisible.

Dreamljocht rolled 22 using 1d20+6. Perception.

Should Fili make a Stealth roll?

Yes

Filivum Springwing rolled 22 using 1d20+7 ((15)).

*leans against a rock wall*

Sorry been busy with work! I will shoot out a post tommorow!

Think we lost the dwarf...been 2 weeks :(

Up for acting like the dwarf didn't make a appearance? Been 23+ days :(

Just play him as an NPC, and phase him out.

I'll just play him as he runs the place.

Actually you didn't make to the kitchen, you were moving towards it. Also, you aren't even sure where the kitchen is. It doesn't smell, not sure why. Plus not really sure if the dwarves would have eggs, definatly no salad. Mead definatly. So everyone is near eachother.

I'll just ignore what I had plans for him-makes it easier.

Interesting question:
What are some ideas you'd like to see thrown out in either DND or Pathfinder or perhaps freeform? I pondered Horror, or a Jurassic Park idea. I got a wheel of time game.I mean horror can be differet things. Maybe a Haunted House or being hunted by several well known critters like Michael Myers, Freddy, Jason....

Hey!

I like the idea of a haunted house. Also...sorry for the sporatic posting. It's been very up and down with the grieving.

Sam's really uptight about the entire thing.

Perhaps something along the lines of Legend of Sleepy Hollow.

Ever see the movie 'Us' or 'Trick and Treat?'

I will shoot out a post tommorow :)

Haunted Mansion? I did run a Asylum game-pathfinder.

Will shout out a post tonight.

Whatcha think of a halloween game based on the movie 'A Quiet Place'? Be a interesting way to have some strange creatures-like psydo creatures.

OMG, who's let a gnome handle a gun?! :-)

Swapped it over to a dwarf but yeah. Angry dwarf that doesn't have to get into melee to kill you lmao!

No such thing as a dwarf with anger issues... they're all so Zen...

Most people play a angry dwarf.

I want to try to attemp a dwarf that is always happy. Maybe a Bard. Or a oracle. Doesn't believe in fighting lmao.

You know gnomes invented guns...

Gnem is more of a dwarf with ennui. :)

Rolling-thunder coming in..

Cool. Another new PC for Sam to hate :)

If you want and haven't done it make a Knowledge (Nature) check. Sent one to Dream and Haile.

Kinda shocked no one is interested in my Hollow's Eve game.

I keep looking at it.

Problem is I'm at a point where I have enough games that I can keep track of all of then, but most of them have stalled out. I'm left wondering if I should try for another and end up with more games than I can handle, or don't try and end up lurking on the Players Wanted page...

Will shoot out a post tonight.

I'm going to say there's 1 troll not 2 since got no way to take it down easily. 2 is too much.

Thanks! I was afraid you were out for a TPK. But how do you re-arrange the fight?
This message was last edited by the player at 20:47, Thu 18 Nov 2021.

That last hit almost killed Sam and your hurting Dream.

Having a creature you can't hurt without fire and acid is a big thing. I thought sonmeone had it but nope!

Filivum has a fire spell on a scroll, but that would only work on one troll, but once they are down, you can keep hacking them, and gather firewood to build a pyre.

Thought I had torches but don't. Damn darkvision.

I got torches
