Where we have non RP discussion

Hello.

Welcome to the game. The game information thread has a lot of good information in it to get ideas from and the game map has a map of Falcons Hollow.

We will be using roll20 for encounter maps . The link is in the game information thread first post.

Greetings everyone!

The character is basically made. I sort of cheated and used the free website: pathbuilder 2e.com to make the character. Now most of the time is copying it from the site to the GM's character sheet. After that, its just the finishing touches of character description and such. I also have a very "basic" outline of a personality of the character but that will change and grow throughout the adventure. :)

But now I have to get ready for bed and get some sleep for a few hours before getting up for work. The life of working 3rd shift is so much fun!!

Will continue working on character tomorrow morning after work. later!

I am at the opposite end of things. I have so many ideas and the only one I am not considering is a storm druid! Thank you for taking at least one off the table!

Okay, I think I have narrowed myself down some.

In no particular order:

Wandering Gunslinger (Never played one)
Insatiably curious Wizard (preferably Necromancer)
Straight up Fighter (haven't played one in PF2)
Sorcerer
Monk
Rogue (if we need one)
Bard (if we need one)
Cleric (if we need one)

It....is done. The numbers have been crunched. Most of the details are complete. Description is done. If the GM has any follow up questions, I will answer. Until then, I am now just waiting patiently to start. :)

Pathbuilder is an amazing app isn't it!?

It is. Then you have to figure out how it got those numbers. :)

So I went with a human champ of Sarenrae. Just need to crunch the numbers and fill in the sheet and I should ready to go.

A few things I noticed about the app.

1. It does not change character speed depending on armor worn.

2. It does not allow you to pick extra languages depending on character's intelligence.

As an Elf, the character gets: common and elven. Got Druidic for free. It then says somewhere the character can get more languages due to intelligence. Which is +2. So, does that mean I can pick 2 extra languages?

I guess the extra trained skills worked due to intelligence?

The app can be confusing at times. I am VERY new to Pathfinder 2e. :)

The online app and the Android app have some minor variations. Yes, the extra skills would be from int bonuses, as for the languages, you will need to pick those as well. I found that both the Android and the PC version of the app adjusted for speed.

In reply to Larannia Stormtree (msg # 11):

1. It does not change character speed depending on armor worn.
Response: It does, but if your strength meets the requirements for the armor then the rules state the speed penalty does not apply

2. It does not allow you to pick extra languages depending on character's intelligence.
Response: It does, in the Details section if you click the languages box it'll tell you how many bonus languages you have.

Hey GM,

Do you have any restrictions on the Gunslinger Class?

No. Emerging guns in campaign. You'd just have to have in your history ...backstory the how's of getting a gun and knowing about it ..unless you went with the crossbow aspect of the class.

Flintlocks or matchlocks don't scare me in a campaign. The class has it's own innate checks and balances

Hello everyone, newly added, going to work on a character concept this evening. It seems we have a Human Champion, a Gunslinger, and a Wood Elf Storm Druid, and with the plan being to have 6 total, that leaves a lot open to play with :)


Maybe a rogue, haven't played one of those yet.

When you are finished with your character,

Fill in a combat Summary block for your character and any minion, familiar, animal companion, pet...etc. You have.
Combat Summary

Now I see why the character's speed did not change. I also found the detail box. 2 extra languages on top of the 2 for being an elf and the 1 free one for being a druid. :)

So far we have a

Human Champion
Human Sorcerer
Elf Druid

Is there anyway to add the Combat Summary to the Character sheet? It will be easier to edit there. :)

*edit* Never mind. Made do and sent it in private message.

Yes and that is a great idea...done.


Since every level up you'll be editing it. It's there, for everyone
This message was last edited by the GM at 17:09, Thu 23 Feb 2023.

A ice storm took out my home internet so I am typing this from cell. Will come back for updates when fixed.

I think I have finalized my build, going to be a Human Mastermind Rogue with a Wizard Dedication. He's going to be a very smart boy, using Recall Knowledge to gain flat footed, and also to keep us apprised of weaknesses and such :)

I will get the build transcribed over later this evening but here's the pathbuilder:

https://pathbuilder2e.com/launch.html?build=336351

I'm bringing up the rear as a human/Tiefling Sorcerer, with an Angelic Bloodline for flavor and extra narrative chaos.

She's young and naive, but eager to see the bigger world.

I've got a good feeling about this group.

Angelic bloodline in a Tiefling. Your ancestors had a very broad set of kinks.

It'll be interesting to see how an Angelic Bloodline sorcerer and an Undead Bloodline get along, not just IC but in the field as well.

So the party is set now.

Elf Druid (Storm)
Human Champion (??)
Human Sorcerer (Undead BL)
Human Rogue
Tiefling Sorcerer (Angelic BL)
Dwarf Fighter

First time playing a TTRPG with alternate ancestries/races where half the party is human lol

I can switch to half elf if you'd like

Definitely was not a complaint, just an observation. Normally a party is like: Catfolk Rogue, and his Ysoki Wizard brother, the Tiefling Dwarf Sorcerer with an over joyful nature, A Lawful Evil Fleshwarp Cleric who wants to help the party for the lulz, and the Human Fighter named Ted.

The great and powerful wizard Tim.

In reply to Damian Blynk (msg # 28):

Half-elf is still human...by the way as is tiefling ;)

Hi everyone. Busy in pathbuilder now for my dwarf fighter.

Joe the Half-elf Half-orc tiefling beastkin shadow Magus.

Oh Joe! I miss him...ever since someone cast that detangle spell on him and all his parts came apart :(

In reply to Helican (msg # 34):

I'd think it was one pairing long ago: an angel and a devil got intimate and produced offspring.

Somehow

At any rate, the party lineup makes this too great not to share.

I pulled my characters name from a song, separate from how I came up with her concept.
Now that my sorcererous comrade has an ancestor that's a Ghost, it's just too perfect to not lean into (or at least, share)
https://youtu.be/aBt2Djy37tQ

Sheet's all done. Been wondering if there's a better way to keep stats on a separate site like Pathbuilder rather than type everything by hand.

World Anvil is a pretty good world building resource and has PF2E Stat blocks, but GM would need to go in and create the "world" for us to set up in.

Larannia Stormtree Elf (Woodland) Druid (Storm)
Halloran 'Hal' Kerrick Human (Taldan) Champion (??)
Damian Blynk Human (Taldan) Sorcerer (Undead BL)
Helican Human (Andoran) Rogue (Mastermind)
Marianna Cross Human (Tiefling) Sorcerer (Angelic BL)
Gorluk Magmamace Dwarf (Rock) Fighter

Internet is back up and I can see the Falcon's Hollow map on d20 website. All seems good. :)

When does the game start?

The game is already afoot...and tomorrow it will be a hand.

...but ya I'm excited too!

I'll get the game thread up today.

Marianna Cross hasn't completed her character, but I can get everyone else roll playing

Will write up my post after work Tuesday morning. The life of working 3rd shift. I am asleep when everyone is awake and I am awake when everyone is asleep. Oh well. Off I go...weeee!

Back from work. Working on post.

Will post Saturday morning.

Working on Saturday morning post and doing laundry. :)

Okay folks, we're all checking in on the game and we all seem really interested. Let's not let it falter just as we are getting out the gate. :)

Again, my post will happen after work Thursday morning.

Am I alone in thinking the GM needs to step up and move the plot along? It's been weeks of mostly the PCs talking to each other with little to no advancement. Or was this game intended to be a pure sandbox with the PCs initiating everything? There could be mismatched expectations here.

The classic intro of "The heroes all meet in a tavern" can be a slow start. Also, some players might be only able to update once a week...if that. I am sort of lucky. I do my 8 hours of work, look if I need to update, then get ready for bed and do it all over again.

Also, each character is different and have their own motivations for adventuring. Two were already friends so they were already traveling together, one happened to be next door and wanted to apologize for the noise, and then the other was desperate enough to join perfect strangers in hopes of going on an adventure for coin.

Larannia has message to deliver to some people. After that, she was going to ask the woman at the bar about any job opportunities. The druid sort of hired the stranger to keep her out of too much trouble while in town.

Now...the DM has lots of ways of forcing the group together. All getting arrested for a crime they did not commit seems to be a very direct way. The other, Un invasive way would be to have a "job board" in the tavern. The players go to the board, pick a job, and then go to the person offering the job. It so happens all the players go the same job. They are told to form a group for the job and *poof* instant adventure.

Larannia already has a quest and managed to drag someone along. That will be a little adventure for the two of them. With the women busy, what trouble can the guys get into or rather, what trouble gets into them! :)

Sometimes, you have to go out and find your own adventure. Or just go ahead and tell the DM hurry and bring the pain. :)

Yea, I mean things seem to be organically moving along. This seems to be a pretty typical pace for a play by post game. I apologize if I am not keeping your interest in character, and I am happy for the Game Master to move things along (ala hand wave) as necessary, but I am also content where we are currently getting to know each other.

Obviously I can hand wave anything I desire to. I've dangled a couple leads out there already, but noone bit.

I'm following the 'modules' design on where the main lead locations are, but besides that I've done a few prompts both in character and out .

Now if you need me to make it more blatant I can.

Pain it is!

There we go. A hook for everyone.

And yes the table and the two women heard Daleson and Jaks conversation

Larannia, I noticed that you made your Make an Impression roll as a flat check. It is normally a Diplomacy check. Are you trained in diplomacy or have at least a positive Charisma modifier?
Side note: If your charisma modifier is not positive you will need to change your description image, she definitely has a positive mod.

Also, you might be able to improve the Sheriff's attitude using other skills depending on the GM. There are mechanics in the Kingmaker AP that allow for improving attitudes based on what that character is interested in, not just how diplomatically you can talk to them. (eg. you might make friends with a farmer using your Nature skill or Farming Lore)

Zero charisma modifier, no diplomacy. Just a flat roll. I did give hints about why a diety would choose someone with no charisma to give an important message. :)

No worries at least you rolled like that at a non critical point ;)

While we are all waiting for everyone to post their updates....enjoy this Anime Music Video. :)

In reply to Larannia Stormtree (msg # 58):

Imagine Dragons is an interesting case study, cause I think the band is a highlight of how we live in a Post Rock world, musically speaking.

Sorry I was inattentive over the weekend. I spent a few days moving my family into a new place. Cheaper and more square footage. Good in all cases ...except my aging body. ;)

I am actually in the midst of selling and buying a house, and soon (hopefully) will be doing the moving portion of things.

Hope you bounce back quickly!

Generally speaking I'm not around a lot on the weekends so it works out okay for me!

Hal, our resident Paladin has been absent a while. I've messaged him twice now with no reply. I'll give him a couple days then seek a replacement in case he was away on spring break or Ill.

I wondered, but didn't want to be the one that jinxed it / seemed impatient. Thanks for continuing to look after the health of the game.

I am getting a Commition for a drawing for my Storm Druid. This is a rough draft. Color and background will follow eventually. :)

I understand the party needs to stock up but can the shopping be done “off-screen”? Or are we expected to role play interactions with every shopkeeper before any actual adventuring starts?

Not a requirement. I'm ok with a statement  of I want to go to the general store and pick up xxx. For xxx.
The only reason to go anywhere particular is if you want to get additional quests and agree on payment...or to establish contacts.

FYI I turned on the looking for players light and reached out to one person who wanted to play who I had to turn down. If I don't get a yes by Friday I'll post in the players wanted to replace hal.

Looks like the player playing Gorluk wants to do a speed run. So I guess there is no need for anymore roleplaying. I guess the DM can tell us how much we get to spend on "supplies". We will do all the shopping by private messages. Larannia will go to the Herbalist and pick up that side quest. So, we can just start at the first random encounter or at the entrance to the dungeon. Fast enough? :)

It’s not about speed running but good pacing. Front loading the story with low stakes side activities that don’t advance the main goal makes a slow moving boring experience. You can’t get away with that in video game design much less play-by-post. I’m fine with sandboxing for side quests and info gathering but that makes more sense between adventures not front loaded in the introduction. And you can still role play and engage in meaningful activities at the same time. They’re not mutually exclusive.

Hi everyone!

Joining you all as an Gnoll Oracle
 I'll get more up after work.

well Pacing is my job. I will try and do my best for all to enjoy. The 'side' quests...interestingly enough...all go the same place ;) they are different hooks thats all. thats meta I know...but an encouragement from the helpful DM to add to your treasure intake.

I wont handwave travel to the 'Dungeon' so to speak. Ive moved the player marker in roll20 to the area map and put the part marker on it so you an see where your going. The vast majority of this adventure is a dungeon 'crawl' as its called. As most good adventures, theres ample opportunity within for role playing.

because of that, I wont shortcut the travel so folks with skills in the wilderness can shine as well. That also allows me to roll 'random' encounters {yeah}...we have our sixth. I will gradually work out Hal in game and intro Black Stars....hes an Ant Gnoll (I had to look it up)...hes more a Coyote and less a Hyena

Welcome Black Stars!

I would actually like to talk to all these people first so that if they have additional things that they want (errand quests) we can pick them all up at once and make more loot from a single trip.

I basically shared that info for Gorluk so he realizes not all is as video games. Sometimes there's tangible benefit.

There's three additional quests. Found at the following: Cutyard with Payden.the temple and roots and remedies. All places that would be normal places to go exceptaybe the Cutyard

GM, you can go ahead and remove me from the cast. This campaign was clearly designed for a specific type of player and is a poor fit for me. Good luck not having more players ghosting on you.

Regretfully, on reflection I don't feel I'll be a good fit either and will bow out. Wishing everyone luck.

I feel like there is something going on behind the scenes here. I did not intend to upset anyone, if I did I really apologize because I didn't know I was doing it!

In my previous post I wasn't meaning that I wanted to spend weeks gathering info, just a simple let's get all our quests lit up sort of thing so that we can gather the Silver Moon Mint (or whatever) for the herbalist while we are on our way, rather than hearing about that quest later and having to go back out.

What’s going on behind the scenes is that the GM is trying to adapt a published adventure meant for table top (where this situation would have been resolved in minutes) without considering how it would work on a much different medium. I bring this up and get dismissed for wanting to play a video game.

For the record the majority of play by post games are based on published adventures unless they are of the freeform type. I'm sorry to see you both go. I did not intend to be dismissive of you Gorluck, obviously you're in the play by post forum for more of roll playing and less role playing. That's perfectly fine.

I am surprised you dropped so quick Black Star, and not sure why... But I will remove you both.

I am sure I will have no problems filling the slots. Good gaming to you both.

Put the advert up. This will be the first time I publicly asked for players, so I fully expect several responses. We will continue playing and I'll write Hal and Gorluk out.

Wow *blinks* that was so quick. Well, I am not going anywhere *settles in* Let's light up these quests Damian, I want to be a hero to all the people :)

Picked up first replacement...welcome Zurik...interestingly enough...a dwarven fighter. We are going to do a matrix like replacement...Gorluk becomes Zurik.so pretend Zurik said everything Gorluk did in character...out of character...nope he said none of it. ;)

And our second. Imbur a Half-Orc Barbarian

Welcome new players!

Welcome aboard folks. Don't mind the mess.

*blinks* welcome new players. Like always, will post tomorrow morning after work.

Thanks everyone!  I'm reading up on old grumpy dwarf so I can be new grumpy (but loquacious!) dwarf.

I'll have something on soon, just a show a pulse.

Trying to get myself up to speed!
I’ll be far less grumpy than the dwarf. Imbur is a happy-go-lucky lumberjack (get the Monty Python jokes out now) with some…anger issues.

"I'm a Lumberjack and I'm OK..."

"He likes to press wildflowers!"

Anyway....here is an AMV. When I hear this song, I think of a group of adventurers fighting the forces of evil on a grand scale. :) yes...I am weird.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?...gFXtmZsM&index=1

Not wierd at all. That's a good one.

Here's mine.

https://youtu.be/am1oAOoST1E

I tend to be more literal on things: my "heroes on the march" song is an song very much about that.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebDyBELOhB8

The entire Veteran of the Psychic Wars album is fantastic, a gem that most normies who only listen to radio singles will never know about.

Ok, I guess we're doing it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?...amp;feature=youtu.be

or - hear me out -

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9jTonnpRo0

a stone-cold classic.  fight me.

Immigrant song in Old Norse is a real treat.

In reply to Marianna Cross (msg # 96):

So many of mine are SCA songs like "Born on the List Field" and "To the West."

I do have a fondness for both Joe Strummer and Shane MacGowan's versions of "The Minstrel Boy."
And there are a few Lorena McKennit songs high up there too.

In reply to Marianna Cross (msg # 96):

lolol  that does sound fun.

In reply to Imbur (msg # 97):

i'm only familiar with Shane as a member of the Pogues. I never listened to any solo work he may have done.

of course, The Pogues are awesome, one of the first bands I ever knew about growing up, thanks to my dad.

Thousands Are Sailing is one of the greatest, most poetic songs I've ever heard.

"We'er we go, we celebrate the land that makes us refugees"

"And I never even got so far that they could change me name."
And thank you for making me feel old with the "thanks to my dad" line :P

Would anyone have given Helican and order? Or silver to help with the purchase of supplies?

I'd think he had the earnings that were set on the table to sell at the general store

I think I'm set for travelling, less some additional rations.

Sheriff put the advance on table. 2 rings worth 6 gold? Will just have to sell it at store.

Oh, I guess I read that wrong, I thought that was going to be our reward. Sorry it's been a rough week.

In reply to Helican (msg # 105):

Getting my sheet up this morning.  Ready to start RPing.
GM Dread, is it possible at least one of the other PCs has heard I'm able to be hired out as a cout-type?

Oh....If the DM said I could, Larannia could get your character with the others, but that would involve drama, confusion and pain of a character. But I am sure the DM could make up a good roleplaying way in for your character. The DM's way could be less traumatizing. :)

*wicked grin*

Sorry I have been less than attentive here, life has been a lot lately. I'll post here in a minute.

Remember I'm supposed to do rolls in secret. I know breaking the Pathfinder 1 habits are hard. For now I'll let it pass and give you info. However soon I'll enforce it. So please don't put me in the hard head position lol

Way to do it is

I'm going to use Medicine +7 (or whatever the modifier is) to see what I know of Black Scour.

Oops. Sorry. Habits die hard. Have to remember we only roll hits and damage.

The commissioned character portrait is finally done. Pic will be under character description. :)

I love it!

Just checking in to see if there was anything else from me needed for the conversation with the shop keep? Thanks :)

No. I'm posting now. I got really sick and ended up in the hospital. They are trying to figure out what I have. They only know at this time it's Liver related.

Feel better, Dread.
If I could be there with matza ball soup for you, I would.

Mmmm matza ball soup. Had a friend give me some once. Mmmm. He helpede through a very challenging time in my life.

Waiting for Helican and Damian. I'll post something if they don't tomorrow

Hey everyone so our dwarf has been absent for 15 days now. I've pmd him and emailed him. What's the consensus on what I should do ?

Helican I've also rmailed and pmd but he's only been absent for a week.

I'm moving things along though

Real life happens. But a little info goes a long way. Rpol does take some dedication  I think the dwarf is lost again. Maybe give the other one another week. There are many players out there.

Yea, as the other one, I apologize for my absence. I responded to the DM, but I moved and while the move was planned, the complete cutoff from internet wasn't. Long story short there was an issue getting my home internet setup, and the new area I am in has little to no cell signal.

My apologies for stalling things from my side. :(

It's all good. I'm glad you're still around

I concur in giving them maybe another week.

There's nothing going that's so critical that you can't drive him the character yourself for a while.

I uploaded map to the gamemap section of the Darkmoon Vale so you can view it and start talking about your trip and how to travel.

On roll 20 I have the same map but I have the travel distance for the party as well.

just a reminder only Larannia, Helican, and Damian have joined the roll20 platform for the gaming maps and encounters.

heres the link

https://app.roll20.net/join/8971056/BabK4A

I don't think I realized there was a roll20 component until right now.

Lol it's all good. All players should be able to see the 'travel map'.

I'll draw on that map when I propose the two routes that I have in mind. But I'll wait until we are somewhere more discrete to do so. :)

I've reached out to the 6 players who had responded last time asking whid like to create a dwarf....

Welcome Durrack of clan Fellaxe, a dwarven Ranger.

Greetings all.

Greetings!

Just have fun and enjoy your stay. :)

So which way do you want to travel? Do you want to role play that decision or make it out of character here?

I had followed folks to the separate room to talk, but if we are stuck in a weird place I am fine with discussing out of character and then just fast forwarding.

I was going to wait for more people to reply to the question before posting but it feels like everyone wants to do the fast forward thing. Sigh. A sad day for role-playing.

I'm ok either. Just waiting for responses

In reply to GM Dread (msg # 135):

Honestly, I was waiting to see who suggested which route, then throw in some local color recommendations of what that is a good or bad route.

Please don't take my willingness to be my wanting. But I also recognize that sometimes people get lost, or frustrated, and to keep the game alive it might be worth sacrificing a little roleplay to get everyone back on the same page.

Will post Larannia's opinion of which route to take in a bit. Dealing with a sinus thing. Will post something before I am knocked out. :)

It is the weekend but not much posting happens. So, I will just leave this here before going off to bed before more work. Yall have fun. :)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9qHFlnjV2E

Loved the in game post Larannia but I think I should have mentioned we are doing milestone levelling, so at prearranged points....unless I'm vetoed by a majority of players... Or 4 of you 6 say you'd rather itd rather be experience points.

I'm a big fan of Milestone leveling.  It focuses the game more on RP than killing things to get XP.  I use it when I DM.

Matters not to me. I am here for the writing and roleplay.

It also doesn't matter to me, I am here to play Pathfinder 2e and to have fun :)

Ok then...Just waiting for Damian and Imbur with their vote but it looks like walking it is. :) I will post Larannia's update post on May 3, in the morning after work, to give ...suggested...ideas and to move the hunt along at a fast pace to illude possible trackers.

Hint: The party be sleeping under the stars as night falls.

I really have no preference between milestone and xp based. A properly run xp based game will have you levelling up at the correct points anyway.

Larannia, feel free to comment IC about where you would like to camp. :)

Larannia, I am not trying to start anything ooc

sorry for being dinq on the roll20. I tried when it first popped up and either I got distracted by house stuff or the link didn't work. Either way, I'm having trouble finding it now. A fresh one would be appreciated.

heres the link for you and Imbur

https://app.roll20.net/join/8971056/BabK4A

This is a case of too many options. Pick a lane people and let's get going. Looks like we lost the half orc so we will be struggling with encounters. I enjoy the roleplaying, but we are not getting anywhere. 'Easy' boat trip or #5 where party will only have to cross a small stream.

Pick one and lets go.

So let's vote

1. Boat on river and then through hills: 5 days

2. Around the north passed lumber camp number 3 and to elder tree fording the stream and to hag hollow: 8 days

Cast your vote...majority rules

I cast my vote for #2.

I say 2 as well

Count me for #2

#2 for me as well!

seriously what right does any first level PC have to be in a boat! That's almost certain doom. Just look at the Skull & Shackles AP!

So it's settled the longer route for all.

Now that the entire town knows the route, (along with the enemies) we can just all meet up in the morning and head out of town. What can go wrong?

GM, What is the time of day IC?

Larannia, What makes you think that anyone other than us knows the route we are planning on taking?

Why ruin the surprise. :)

You made your choice. Now we hope the suffering is not too bad. :)

In reply to Larannia Stormtree (msg # 158):

Life is pain suffering, highness. Anyone who tells you differently is selling something.

It should be late afternoon say 430 on the first day

I am concerned that I have missed something as well. I suppose I will be equally surprised...

Bwahaha

In reply to Damian Blynk (msg # 159):

A person of culture I see.

*chuckle*

Once I get 2 more folks to post I'll advance game

I have noticed in this game, nobody really posts on weekends.

Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. :)

Hello everybody.  I shall be your friendly neighbourhood half-orc investgator with a side-hustle in lawyering

Welcome Sophia. As soon as you're done doing your character give me a heads up

Greetings Sophia.

GM, there isn't a sense motive in PF2. Normally it is replaced by a perception check. Given that I do not want to know the results of the roll, would you mind rolling perception for me on Larannia's seemingly bizarre behavior?

Nature can be unpredictable. Druids are close to nature. Then try to remember what is said about storms. Then remember the character is a druid of storms. That is a little glimpse into the character. :)

Sorry for being quiet as everyone else moved rather quickly. Expect more of the same for a little bit. Taking this little angel to Disney, along with my parents.

https://i.pinimg.com/564x/0d/e...3234d5e8f0248f00.jpg" data-lightbox="images-msg-173">https://i.pinimg.com/564x/0d/e...3234d5e8f0248f00.jpg" alt=''>

its all good. Angellic she is.

That's awesome.  Never miss the time with them.

The axe would be worth 251 gold selling it. (That's 502 halved).
.but on the other hand magic weapons are few and far between in PF2

Some tense negotiations.

Anyway, hope everyone enjoys their weekend. I will be working as usual but that's not anything new. Time for another anime music video Saturday. :)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?...BA&start_radio=1

Note to self remember not to use square brackets inside PM's

So the keelboat can carry you all and the larger rowboats can. The ferry isn't an option as it only goes back and forth across the river.

Buying the larger rowboat is 30gp. Renting it...well depends on negotiating. The keelboat can be hired. The pilot is an expert Sailor

There are 3 person rowboats and 6 person rowboats and of course the keelboat which can seat 18.

Back from vacation, and had a great time. if anyone is curious, I'll share a picture or two.

Since we seem to be the music video sending group, I'll provide this. Although the song is from the perspective of Brits and it's performed by a Swedish band, it's very appropriate for this Memorial Day weekend.

I'm third generation military, an aspiring historian, and have the insides of a marshmallow, so this stuff hits personally. Enjoy your weekend however you choose to. The folks we remember and honor wouldn't want a 3-4 day long wake. Just, you know, take a moment in your way to reflect on what this is all about.

I love Sabaton but this is my favourite.

My Uncle Mark's middle name was Mons because that's where his own Uncle Mark died.  The Royal Navy turned down my applicaton cause I has cerebral palsy.  My dad was an army medic in Gibraltar during his national service, One of my grandfathers fought from 1914-1919 and came out with half a lung missing, an alcohol problem and a proessional rugby career shot down in flames.  (To be fair, he may have got the alcohl problem from 23 years as a trawlerman.)

As for the Sabaton video you posted.  It's a cover of a song by Motorhead and when Lemmy died a band I was in started playing it regularly, particularly for some gigs we did as volunteers in a hospice in South London.  It's a brilliant song and the patients loved it.

I'm afraid I seem to have registered only on Emerald Spire

Well excuse me for having an 18 charisma. :)

Given the horrible disfigurements and that Charisma is a combo of personality and looks, his personality must be off the chart!

Excuse me for roleplaying. :)

Does anyone have plans for their archetypes yet? Or has everyone got them bar me?

I have a plan....but the winds might change.

Something about mice and men

By the way, Larannia, you know that I'm a sorcerer of the Undead bloodline right?

Aye and the inevitable agleyness of all plans.

Archetypes? Are we getting free Archetypes? I may have forgotten that if it was stated lol

Also, I cannot wait to prove Larannia wrong when we get into a fight lol

Also, was the money handed over from Larannia for the Keelboat? I thought it was the rowboat that Larannia asked "how much for that" about?

I guess it doesn't matter much either way, just wanna get my mental image straight :)

Yes to the free archetypes. 2nd level. We are using milestone levelling. (So upon completion of the Monestary ground floor FYI)

Yes you have the keelboat. It's on roll20 everyone except Sophia should be able to see the keelboat map...if not let me know

Nope. The character knows nothing about stinky. :)

I asked an AI to draw me and this is what it draw.


Not bad apart from too-much hair, wrong colour skin, no tusks and for Iomedae's sake, is that AI a thirteen year old boy?

What are the right attributes? Was this mid journey?

Well, the art is definitely mammalian. Though some seriously offset nipples!

I did not realize that orcs were so concerned about eyeshadow.

In reply to Helican (msg # 196):

It was midjourney... I told it 'half-orc woman in leather armour with red mohican hair'

No, nor did I but I think Sophia may well consider such a cosmetic style as long as she's not in court.

Durrak is going with the Fighter Archetype.

Oh, I forgot I asked that.  I'm thinking of taking the Linguist archetype

Maybe it is a very supple leather breast piece that has been skin tone matched?

Or maybe not even matched because she's covered her green skin with cosmetics as well.

I was eyeballing the Blessed One Dedication, as it seems to kinda touch in with the Angelic Bloodline and maybe add some extra mystery to how and why she is the way she is, but the mechanics feel a little redundant

Where is your last post taking place Larannia, in a dream, below decks, etc.?

Below decks.

In reply to Larannia Stormtree (msg # 206):

Thank you.

About to head off to work. Will not be able to post till after work Saturday  morning.

I wonder if Helican will ever please Larannia or Master Durrak, do nothing chastised, do something chastised, to exist seems his trespass upon them lol

Never mind Helican.  The legal help is happy

Putting this here to celebrate the group's first combat together. Many other people go before character so I guess I will wait to post. If the crew attacks the party, then Larannia is most likely dead. Oh well.

So in this game (my games) everyone post. Don't wait. That's why I put my summary there. If someone doesn't post in a reasonable time I'll npc them in combats. Each round I'll summarize all actions in initiative order and make slight alterations to the actions as I know what the intent is from the post.

You will see, it all works out .

So just post what you want to do.

Condensed schoolwork of two summer semesters has me a smidge bogged down, but I will make time to decide an action and post it soon.

Answering Damians Question

In reply to GM Dread (msg # 214):

Thank you for your swift reply

Hello? Anyone here?

I think it's my turn now correct? Sorry if I have been holding it up.

I am still here. I check everyday. But after work I have no life. :)

been wrapped up in summer classes that have been taking up a lot of time. by the end of the month I'll be free and clear (for about three weeks).

Other hand, writing a paper on the origins of the drow and problematic depictions of race in D&D, so that's fun.

Still here.

Clear! Bzzzzt

Wait a week and try again. :)

Anybody have Revivify?

Hi everyone. I'm sorry I haven't been around. I had internal bleeding and was hospitalized. Then out and put back in with gall bladder issues...they took it out. Then out and on pain meds. Just getting a clear head. Diagnosed with knee auto immune hepatitis.

Ie I'm not well. My lactic acid climbs and I get fuzzy brained. No energy.it pains me to say this, I don't know how I can continue, feeling like I do. I'm terrible sorry. I miss running games and playing just unsure how to continue.

I think this is beyond revivify!

Continue by taking your time! Now we know what you are up against and we are obviously willing to wait. If you want to keep GMing as a way to take your mind off things, we're here for you. If you want to bail, auto immune is a valid cord to pull. Either way, the most important questions is, are you healing?

In reply to GM Dread (msg # 225):

Do not worry about the games.  They, or others will be here when you're able to engage with them again.  Life happens.  Concentrate on getting better, and recovering.  I hope you feel better soon.

Boss dude, just get better.  Look after you.  That's the important thing.

I had my players for a game wait 8 months last year to do a deployment underway (navy systems block this website but you can dork out for hours on espn, tell me how that's fair....), and they all came back.

I'll wait however long you need.

Hope everything gets better. Will be around.

Thank you all. I'm healing but not near as fast as I want.

How's everyone doing?

Been better to be honest.  Just scattered my mother's ashes.

I am sorry for your loss.

Still around.

In reply to Damian Blynk (msg # 234):

Thank you. She actually died during covid but I was self isolating.

Did she die from complications due to covid or something else? I know two people who died after contracting it. Both were elderly but it is still hard on the family.

No she died of Vascular Dementia with diabetes & COVID mentioned on the death certificate. On the other hand they didn't mention bone cancer and neuropathy both of which she'd been living with for eight years.

Still waiting patiently
