Due to a more than normal hectic weekend, I need some more time to finish up my PC, but I've already started modifying my sheet and added Jerec's description, so Jerec will be good to go in the first few roleplay only posts if we start right away.

Blarg.  I thought I was going to have time tonight to get the IC thread up, but likely I won't (usually I have a fair amount of office time at work so I can write some posts) but alas, I am needed on the floor.  I shall try to get the post up in the morning!

Question, which set of gods do we want to use?  We can use the Pathfinder-default Golarian deities (which I am nominally familiar with), the Greyhawk deities (also nominally familiar with, but much more so than Golarian) or the 3.5 Forgotten Realms deities (very familiar with).  What would people like to do?

My order of preference is GH-Golarion-FR

No preference honestly. I have limited familiarity with all of them.

I’m not familiar with anything either, so I’ll leave it to the others to decide.

I'm partial toward the FG deities myself...:-)

Hey all, work has been busier than usual (end of month, have to get the pounds out), so I won't be able to update until Monday night at the earliest!

So, I have a question. All of us have been hired to find this heir and escort them somewhere. However, we don't know who this heir is. Have we been told how we would recognize this? I ask this because my character would simply shrug at this point and walk off. While something unusually magical has happened (it is a magical world, so not unheard of), it appears the young woman is not interested in discussing it. None of my business as nothing untoward has happened. Or was there a foretold sign/portent that would reveal this heir to us?

The gods (and/or spirits) have been a bit more active lately, and those who pay attention to their whispers and visions have seen forces gathering here, in Pearl Fort.  Those of you who have been hired have been told that you would be contacted when the heir was found; for those not in tune with the gods, you might not have been told any more than there was a noblewoman needing protection.  More information would be forthcoming at a later date, and you each have a contact in town you can speak to further.

For those employers who let you know they were getting divine inspiration for this job, they let you know there would be some sign of the god's favor.  However, this particular omen took everyone by surprise.

Helena, where are you running to?  A store, alley, docks, warehouses, house, inn, city gate, garden, tavern, waterfront, temple?

Just away, without an specific direction nor a plan. Just plain fight or flee instinct

Davor is more engaged in the confrontation with Amber now than with Helena. Half-orc chasing a girl through the streets of town? Not great optics. The more pressing issue is not getting stabbed.

Alright. Davor can probably relax and sip a cup of tea now that Amber already went for Helena. That is, if she can convince her to come back though.

I think I'm going to go with the Grayhawk deities, just for future reference.  :)

In reply to Amber Elamaine (msg # 44):

You'll have to explain this concept. You say you put leaves in hot water and then drink it? Lowlanders are very strange.

Is it still raining over Helena?

When Helena fled, and finally fainted, the rain indeed did stop.

Welp, we got the first flop out of the way. You're welcome

Nat 1s suck. The bane of every player since the dawn of time...:-(

Do these guys trigger Detect Evil once they get close enough? It should still be up at this point.

Oh yeah, evil all over the place!

Sweet. Just wanted to make sure before I threw out a buff.

To summarize Protection from Evil: everyone has +2 deflection bonus to AC (does not stack with a Ring of Protection if you have one) and a +2 resistance bonus to saves (does not stack with a Cloak of Resistance). That may just end up being a net +1 depending on your gear. There's some other stuff that comes up with specific saves against spells and summoned evil creatures so check the full description if that situation arises.

On the subject of buffs, I threw one out because there was no call for initiative. I've had GMs with all kinds of different rules for how trying to squeeze buffs in before combat works so just let me know if I need to amend anything.

Initiative can get... unnecessarily messy with people's varying posting rate/times.  I'll likely privately roll initiative and assume people shall act in a fairly consistent way with their character for a default.  That's also what the Standard Adventuring Procedures (which you can put on your character sheet) are for.  If you standard is, "Default ranged attack with shortbow at 30' or less for possible sneak attack, move for a clear shot, hide afterwards to snipe. If pressed to melee, flank if possible and attack with rapier to sneak attack," then I know what you do with you if you're delayed in posting.

Fair enough.

Guys, I'm going to be traveling overseas for two weeks (needful family thing).  I will have internet access, but my ability to post will not be certain.  I shall try to update as I can.
