lol Kenji took Janiven's flirting quite to heart. Its an understatement to say he is in love.
Sorry guys. Flat out today. Moving

Andrea will be happy to give you plenty of advice...
Keep your bites to the neck. Easier to put ice on them or a nice scarf.

And the next day, Fiosa comes in with a scarf and we all look at Andrea suspiciously.
Lol I am entertained.

OM NOM NOM!
John, shouldn't just wait for full plate?
WHoa. Did the place go down for a while for other people?
yep...lost the site for a while.
Let us hope the sellsword doesn't start insulting Hellknights. ;)
Hmm. Possible future skills..
Use Magic Device(For making up for lack of arcane character)
Perception(Bit lacking)
Know-Arcana/Planes/Local.
Oh the drama potential. A duel between Kenji and Shinon for the fair lady's hand. :)
Andrea is just waiting for Kenji/Janiven's response before she heads off for sleep.

Okay, so my post probably warrants some explanation, so I'll answer ahead of time in case you were wondering (and if you weren't, then this post shall sit without a purpose).
Shinon's sudden honesty about his feelings for Janiven probably seem pretty out-of-character for him, since his main trait is his suspicion of everyone he meets. However, that trait is actually what is out-of-character, not his feelings for Janiven. Shinon used to be a happy-go-lucky, normal person who enjoyed spending time with his friends and didn't really ever think about the shadows or any conspiracy that much.
When he was attacked by Traine, the suspicion and lack of trust formed, like a wall, completely encasing Shinon's happy and gentle nature in order to help him survive. (Which is what the Council of Thieves wants, obviously).
The thing about Janiven is that her appearance, and her sympathy and appreciation of Shinon's ideals, has breached his shell and touched the person within, the kind-hearted individual who is scared to lose anyone he cares about and just wants to hurry and solve this problem so everything can go back to normal.
Shinon got so wrapped up in trying to solve the problems of the city so he could stop worrying about the things he cared about that he actually lost the ability to enjoy the things he cared about. He spent all his time training, hunting and fighting crime that he didn't get to see Traine as much or visit Roy or even just stop and look at the city like he used to. And he certainly hasn't made a new friend or dated in the last seven years (Roy is more like a kid brother to him).
So Janiven has reminded Shinon of what he is fighting for, and now he wants the opportunity to actually have what he is trying to protect, instead of just putting that off until after he is done protecting it.
Does all that make sense? Wow, this was a longer explanation than I had planned.

That would suck. Kenji could just bide his time until we hit 3rd level, then boom, he takes Deflect Arrows and declares it to be on.

If you're keen there's still a buddy waiting in the wings.
Yea. Baldwin did say that 5 characters is a good limit right now, so we can see how things go.
As far as the number of players 5 or 6, we care doing well with 5 players right now from the posting standpoint and concluding segments of actions. A 6th person complicates things, one more person to wait for to complete a round.
We haven't had anyone drop out to suggest they were not interested in continuing, especially given the pace of the game. Just as important the posts have been substantive and not one liners.
Shinon, I read your post lets get to the next day and then I will respond. I'm still wrapping up the other member's evenings.

But of course.

I am personally satisfied with our group as-is. We have a strong melee offense, ranged support, a healer, and a variety of skills covered.
That said, if Andrea were to put ranks into the Use Magic Device skill and pick up a wand or two, it would probably expand her ability to contribute to a wider variety of situations (not that she's not contributing enough as it is).
Still, if she gets to the point where she can reliably succeed a DC 20 UMD check, Shinon would be willing to pitch in and help her purchase a wand of scorching ray or something similar.
Know (Arcana), Planes and Local would also greatly help. I don't think anyone else in the group has Know (Arcana) or Planes (correct me if I'm wrong) and of course as a cleric in a town full of tieflings a little knowledge about Asmodeus will more than likely come up. And Knowledge (Local) will just help us collect more lore, which is always good.
My 2 cp on the subject.
Thanks for the info. :)
Hehe. Looks like plenty of opportunities for Andrea to troll Shinon and Kenji about their love lives, give them advice on proper courting procedures. :)

Don't forget the opportunity to give Janiven advice about juggling two love interests without the other finding out!
I find lack of skills or a diverse party tends up the challenge of the game. In my experience with pathfinder, parties that have every base covered are boring. More fun when you have to come up creative ways to deal with situations. I am never troubled by what we lack. Only about what I can do to make up for it.
As far as romance goes.... Kenji wasn't made with romance in mind. I'm having more fun with it than I thought I would. Plus I think Janiven digs me....I think. Definitely a twist for Kenji that I wasn't expecting. So the question is, what will come of it.

Well, I think we've got a pretty broad base of skills. I've got Know (Local), Bluff, Sense Motive, Survival, Acrobatics, Climb, Disable Device, Intimidate, Know (Dungeoneering), Stealth and Perception.
As for the lack of a diverse party, yeah...that's going to be fun. Especially when we're all failing our Perform (Act) checks next book because the highest Charisma score in the group is a 14, lol.

It definitely seems that way. The gift was a nice touch, Janiven appears to be seeing Kenji-shaped stars right now.

I wholeheartedly agree with this statement.

Ah, there's our DM. I have to leave for work in an hour, but hopefully I'll get a chance to leave a post before then.

Well it just depends on what we use as a subject, if we stick with topics we know we can get through ok.

Busy today at the office. I'm heading to dinner with the family but will post more later tonight. I believe I have caught up everyone's current game posts.
DM
I'm feeling pretty sink today. I'm going to nap for bit but I should be on later.
No worries
Ruh-Roh, Shinon!
The Captain looks at Shinon eyes then his hand. "Apologies, I will escort you in to meet with the Lord Grulios, who is here personally to extend condolences. Of course, you knew he and his escort arrived earlier. His eyes looking over to Kenji and Janiven, "your personal guards must stay outside."
Wow, I totally deserved that. Touche, Baldwin, touche.
Oh Snap. Time to play the 'Look! A Shadow Beast!' game.
Edit: oh Snapx2. Looks like I might be getting smited.
Crap. Please let the guard roll low on his Sense Motive, please let the guard roll low on his Sense Motive!
Damn. If I survive this, I'm going to kill Arael for suggesting it.
At least Kenji will be able to escape to tell the tale. ;)
Just kidding. Perfect time for a rescue!
Crap. Please let the guard roll low on his Sense Motive, please let the guard roll low on his Sense Motive!
Given your roll of a 13 there is no way the Captain misses his sense motive given the unlikilhood of the lie. Half elf wearing a significant direct maternal lineage signet ring.

True. I suppose there are many bastards, but none that would be allowed to walk around so openly. If only I put ranks in Disguise.
Shinon choose to put on a family signet ring, not Arael. You choose the aggressive manner to obtain infomation. Bull in a china shop. There were other ranking household figures that you discussion with.

Excues me but Mythbusters proved that a Bull in a China shop doesn't hold up to the idea. The bull would actually avoid knocking things over. Weird huh?

I agree with the first part. I did not realize that there were different signet rings for different ranks. (I really wish Traine had mentioned that when he looked them over!)
Ah well. This is a mistake, and I shall learn from it.
Hopefully some silver tongued discussion with a lady of the household can help solve any problems. Maybe solving a mystery can help gain a favor for the release for someone who made a rash choice. ;)

That was funny. Myth potentially busted.
Time for sleep.
I believe Kenji mentioned a backup plan? This is our backup plan. I call it "Plan Get the F*** Out of Here".
Shinon, why didn't you take me by the hand too? I'm hurt that you would just leave me like that ;_;
Whoops. Odd formatting there in my post.
Well Shinon, you can always carry Janiven in your arms as you escape, or maybe Kenji can carry her to safety as you nobley delay the guards. :)
Shinon, why didn't you take me by the hand too? I'm hurt that you would just leave me like that ;_;
Shinon has an eye for Janiven too, probably figured if Kenji got caught there would be less competition.
Shinon, why didn't you take me by the hand too? I'm hurt that you would just leave me like that ;_;
Did not realize that was Kenji's profile for a moment. I was very very confused lol.
And Shinon has serious trust issues. The kind that says "Don't freaking touch me, if you touch me, you have the chance to cause physical harm to me."
Janiven has gained a little bit of Shinon's trust, to the point where he is willing to be around her. Andrea is worming her way in there as well, but Shinon is still paranoid about the others (especially since they're all much physically stronger than him).
And you have the gall to tell me to be submissive? Oh your askin fer it buddy. Yeah Kenji is untrustworthy. He's been up front about everything and yet Janiven had to seduce us to get us in her little club.
This could be entertaining. Does Shinon have a thing for Janiven? Is he gonna compete with Kenji for her affections? BRING IT! Nothins got more charm than a Asian accent with a charisma of 8 haha!
