Kyrie, I'm happy with your suggestion, but I'm pretty sure you like me cannot see the latest map with our explorations on it, I think we have explored at least one or two of the hexes you are suggesting. I've given up a bit on working out which parts of the map we have gone over so far. The map doesn't show up in my google docs.
I have the set of maps for kingmaker, but not a copier which will make the A1 map shrink to an A4. I have copied them as 4 x A4 images, but have difficulty making them into one image. Manipulating images isn't really my thing...
Having said all that...I'm happy to go along with it...Gorax will be a bit grumpy as he wants to go after the trapper....
Haha, did I just hear some kind of bell going "ding"? Or maybe that was just me, so, lv 2 eh? Very nice indeed, which begs the question, how do we deal with hp at lv ups?
I guess that is all I need to know really, that and a confirmation we have a chance to lv up, I know some dm's require a week or so of training.
Ata, looking for clearance on the use of that custom Oracle mystery we discussed on and off. There's two likely places for at least a semi-official replacement coming up from Paizo, incidentally. First, Ultimate Magic (of course). The second is that a number of people were working on the idea for Wayfinder #3 or #4, so some version of it will probably appear in either. In the meantime, I'll stick to things that probably will have a direct equivalent in any official version.
HP:
OK, here goes...will update character later today....

Everything is progressing. I never said I snuck up on him, Kyrie - I don't know how you're interpreting that. I said if I caught him unawares, I'd let him know I was there - if not, it was no big deal.
It's almost as if you're looking for a problem in my actions - if there's some issue you have with me or my character, please inform me so we can continue to game together. I want to have fun here, y'know?
For the record, I didn't interpret Sol's post as sneaking. He made his way over to Kesten, and then posted tapping him on the shoulder just in case he wasn't aware of him. Nothing in that says sneaking to me. I appreciate you're input, but please leave the NPC reaction to me, Kyrie. :)
However, I do agree that the communication problem should have come much further in this time. Simple vocabulary is not hard to pick up. I learn more form an episode of Dora the Explorer than Sol seems to have in a week of traveling with four other people.
So if I can stand in the middle here... Kyrie, it does seem like you have something to criticize about every post Sol makes. You're the only one who seems to have this problem. Perhaps it's best to just ICly react to them how you feel they should.
But Sol, you really need to wrap up the language barrier RP schtik. It's not maintainable to this extent. Sol can still be something of an outsider, or non-communicative, without being incompetent in simple learning.
Let's PLEASE get this resolved and move on. The constant bickering is taxing.
Alright. Since you don't understand tact, and the spoiler button, I have to react in a way I was really not prepared to take.
I would have loved to have roleplayed the bit out - the entire week was instead rushed, and it wasn't really something I wanted to be rushed, but I had no problem in it for the sake of the game. So I figured he knows bits and pieces, like a child, and work my way from there - it would've been resolved soon, since PbPs generally take longer to play than a session. It might be common, but it's Greek to him (though I explained it poorly at the beginning, which is my fault anyways).
It's all about flavor and having fun, and it was part of a harsh reality of the character, but I no longer feel so energized to play and post as a result - probably is just my fault since I was joining an existing game, and forgot that facet.
Also, I didn't pick up German in a week. I knew a few things about it going in, since it was related to English in some manners - again, my fault in creating the character and making it a one-sided barrier - but I didn't learn an entire language's ins and outs that quick.
I apologize for wasting your time, and causing such a fuss - I walk away wishing you all the best.
I hate to see people leave, but perhaps it's for the best.
That said, I think I'm going to just sub out Sol for another very similar character of my own. It's one I've been wanting to play around with for a while. Gimme a day or so to get it worked out and I'll post it up. It's an elven Savage Skald/Ranger.
Don't worry Bregor, he wont step on your toes. :)
As I mentioned earlier, I'm going to throw in a fifth. The character will actually be very similar to Sol, without the conflict, so the transition will be minimal. A wild elf Ranger with a level of rogue to fill in our lack of someone with trapfinding. I have the character all set, just have to input him.
Ha-ha no I understood that, what I was asking was if we were going to look for a fifth PLAYER?
I'm not worried about my own toes being stepped on ha-ha.
Also, I had a question, since I've given up on the Aldori dueling sword style I was thinking my character should try to make his own style, and one thing that might work would be to use a more unusual weapon, two springs to mind, one is the Falcata, logical since Brevoy has mostly Taldor people, plus it is a good weapon, the second and more interesting choice would be the Urumi, would either of those weapons do?
I'm also considering taking the leadership feat in the future, goes well with my intended role as a general and leader.
Ha-ha no I understood that, what I was asking was if we were going to look for a fifth PLAYER?
I'm not worried about my own toes being stepped on ha-ha.** spoiler omitted **
No I think we'll keep it at four. We all seem to get along and I'm loath to try to bring another in unless I have to.
Both ideas sound great. I would say that the weapon would depend on you more than me. But I'd allow either. I believe both are exotic though, so that might present a problem feat-wise.
Are you still going for the Eldritch Knight?
As for the Eldrich knight, no, not as a bard, I would lose far too much by going that path, there are no really good prestige classes for Bards, I mean there is the Battle field Herald, but that would cost me all spell progression, and there is Eldrich Knight, but that would cost me all Bardic music.
Woooah.....keep out for the weekend and come back to the world changing...
As they say, "The Ranger is dead, Long live the Ranger" ... OK in reality its King or Queen, but....
Bit of a shame, I was looking forward to see how Gorax would have got on with him when he could speak common.....guess I'll just have to get to know Salinthas now.
Haha, I think this helps with how I imagine Bregors mind would work, he is smart enough to come up with a plan, but lacking the insight to see some of the flaws in it, and when those are pointed out he is bright enough to come up with solutions, but lacking common sense to see how they might not be the best.
Good int, poor wisdom, perfect. Great roleplaying guys.
Gorax, not noted for his intelligence or even his even worse wisdom...and is living up to his uncharismatic best.....each group has been subjected to these sorts of tirades from time to time (as players have replaced others that left)...his common basic outlook doesn't really fit so well with the aristocrats either.
Just let me know if you want me to tone things down. I will try not to upset the other players with this stuff.

I'm not sure where you saw tolerance about this from the group before. Every time he's brought this up, he's been told he's being foolish. True, some of the others were willing to just ignore him, but the more often you bring it up, especially out of the blue as you did this time, the harder it is to just ignore. I'm not sure what reaction you were expecting, especially after he insulted two people's deities.
There are other ways to bring this trait to the notice of others, but more importantly, I don't think you really need to make an effort of bringing it up at all. Just let it come out as it does. Purposely bringing it out makes it seem like this is a strong focus of your character, which I don't think it needs to be. He has a lot more going for him already without it.
I'm not telling you how to play the character, any more than I was with Sol and the language thing. I'm just telling you that the more unreasonable and intractable you make Gorax with this subject, and then keep bringing it up, the more perturbed other players will get.
I'm also not sure what the last sentence of your last comment means. Perhaps because of a language issue. What do you mean by he 'isn't likely to get on with them'?
I want to state for the record that I am a little torn, Bregor is quite sincere when he calls Gorax "friend", but he has problems with some of the things he say, the main problem to Bregors mind is that Gorax seem to think that alcohol would transform innocent people into bullies, that is the biggest problem for him as he has seen many people be like that without a drop of the stuff.
It's still good roleplaying, but it does make it hard for me to figure out exactly what Bregor should do, at one point he doesn't want to leave a friend like Gorax out to dry, and since it is basicly Gorax against the rest right now he feel a pull to joining in on his side, but on the other hand he really does not understand Gorax point...difficult...
Haha, I know I might be stretching it a little bit with that story, but I think it makes sense, a desert does not have a lot of water, and if the land is cursed by the gods then nothing is likely to grow there, plus you are not going to import water, so yeah, it seems like they might be a nation of beer drinkers.
