Ok - check in here, ask questions, make out of character comments etc.

Sorry this took so long. Its my first time PbP.Trying to get the hang of it.

Ernest, checking in. My main alias is "El Baron de los Banditos." So if that guy posts in here, it's just me being dumb.

What Faction are you Ander?

Grand Lodge. Let me know what I'm missing and I'll fix. Background info I'm sure.

Grand Lodge? Perfect - head over and post in the Gameplay thread... if you click on edit for your character over on the My PFS menu you can select a Grand Lodge Icon for your character.

Be sure to set up Ander as a PFS character, so you can get your PFS number.

Oh yes! Very much so - I will need a PFS number.

If you would like to begin collecting them now, I'll start; 22357-15 is Ernest Kalthet

Nah - but I'll need it to award chronicles. If everyone could pop it in their character sheets that will help.

Here! I'm also Grand lodge, hope that's not a problem :)

It would be hilarious if the Pig were a different faction... A diabolical swine in the service of Cheliax? lol

Not sure where to click Grand Lodge. I have it selected on My Account page

You have 17 Characters!? Aye Carumba!

Oh, you may want to double check the number for Ernest. By my count I think he is -14, not -15.

I hear it's very important, being Earnest...

On Formating

- Can you guys put something like this in your 'Gender' field in your profile.

AC18/Touch14/Flatfoot14/CMD 13||HP 19/[19]| Fort:+4 ;Ref:+4;Wil+1|Percept +1/Sense Motive +2|Init+4|

Please adjust to your own data but this makes it a heck of a lot easier for me to work with your characters at a glance.

Hit points are adjusted like so HP 11/[19] for an 8 point hit. Conditions can be added after initiative.

For example

AC18/Touch14/Flatfoot14/CMD 13||HP 11/[19]| Fort:+4 ;Ref:+4;Wil+1|Percept +1/Sense Motive +2|Init+4|Diseased - 1 con

Ander, to register your character, go to your My Account page and click on the Pathfinder society link there. You can create a new character and specify what faction you are when you do that. It's really the best way to do things rather than have two aliases floating around your profile for the same character.

He is -15. I am missing -7, because I delete characters when I forget what my concept was for them. And yeah, I DM and work at a computer a lot now, so I have a LOT of low-level credit to give and a lot of concepts to eat that credit.

Also updating that format. I didn't know if they changed that in the forum update or not. Didn't see it. My baaaaaaaaad. I'll update it when Mage Armour is in play, unless you want otherwise. I also want to add that when my Familiar is within arms reach of me, we both get +2 perception, bumping it to a still-pitiful +3 modifier. Scent is still useful, though.

Got it

Yeah figured it out,though I created this character through my alias rather than under PFS.

Cool -just register the basics of the character to get your PFS number - as I said, not needed right away but will need it to give you a chronicle.

Hey 9 Eyes, Oracles are Charisma based. Is there a reason you have an 18 Wis and 14 Cha? Do you have some funky multiclassing planned?

2 players short... give it another 12 hours or so and I'll throw some information at you.

GM: For purposes my dialogue, I'm rolling knowledges to see how accurate (or inaccurate) my guesstimations are in-character. Plus, the die roller is a fun, new toy for me. But actual mechanical rolls (like Identification stuff), I don't know if you want to do them. I'm running on the assumption you will roll those.

Also, I brought up the idea of an exhibition of a my primary spells. Is it PVP if they WANT to do it? It'd be primarily for the purpose of the no-spellcraft guys know what my core spells do. I am hoping there'd be no stabbing (I'd be on the worst end of that, do ho ho.) If it is unacceptable, I can still demonstrate on the Professor, as he is technically me.

Go for whatever dice rolls and in character waffle you want... its good RP

As for spells that have PvP potential here in the conference room? You can do some sort of mini ritual thing for pure RP purposes that demonstrates... whatever it is you want to. It won't do damage, it will be small and it won't execute the full effect - its a demonstration of a magical release for RP only.

On the flip side it doesn't use any spell slots etc

Ha, my most "Offensive" spell is Colour Spray, which is NOT what I'd be showing. It's primarily Stumble Gap and Grease. The most damage I can do with my current spell list is 1d6 (and it doesn't even use an attack roll, so no crits ever), but taking Evocation as an opposed school'll do that.

Best not to be whippling off offensive magics in the Grand Lodge unless its in a ritual demonstation like I laid out. 'Demostrations' will get you a funny look... anything else, even Grease is likely to be not favourably viewed.

Meh, I'll just use it during scenario, after likely garnering bad looks from the Assistant for even mentioning the idea. Still fits my character to want to show it.

I fixed my character to be under my PFS, but had to change name to Anders to create him. This is who I will post with now. Also does anyone mind if I change my Avatar, just not feeling it with that pict.

Checking in. I'm typically not as active on the weekends, but will make the profile adjustments and get to posting.

Change your old alias's name, you should still be able to until you have made ten posts under that name. Then you should be able to change your new alias's name to Ander.

Done. So simple, yet it escaped me. Thanks

weekends will be slower (or no) tempo but I wanted to be sure if ppl were in or not... one left to check in now. Our Bard.

I don't mind if you change your avatar, Ander. I have done so to a couple of my characters early in their careers.

Somewhere in the Grand Lodge...

Seasons 0,1 and 2 only had five factions so its always funny to play with the expanded seasons 3 and 4 factions and share faction missions belonging to the original five. I figured there must be some logic to why the Grand Lodge faction would have a vested interest in helping Amenopheus... this little scene amused me.

Also, as fresh (or newish) pathfinders I would imagine meetings with the leadership as rare and somewhat aloof.

Additionally, I think Brock said somewhere that if the mission doesn't fit the faction (Usually Chelish -> Shadow Lodge or a few Andoran -> Silver Crusade,) You can refluff a different mission and give them that.

Ok... our Bard has not shown to date.

Post your equipment that you are buying, if any, and if we don't hear from him within the next 12 hours or so I'll just push on.

Sorry, weekend of Boo at the Zoo and housecleaning conspired to keep me away from the keyboard, not to mention my RL game. Yay Runelords!

GM, I could only find one of my chronicle sheets. The link is here.

I'd like to use 2 PP to purchase a wand of CLW, please. Thanks and sorry for the late start!

One sheet is enough. Will post something for Hiram.

My IRL forgetfulness and my characters inability to focus work in tandem way too well.

Well I hope everyone enjoyed the extra flavour in recieving your faction missions... and now we begin.

Sorry had post sitting there waiting. Submitted before refreshing browser.

How much time was there on the boat? Enough to peruse each other's spellbooks? If so, mine's in my profile, Ander.

I was thinking same thing. I'll get mine on my profile tonight.

Everyone is properly prepped in terms of prayer, spell memorisation etc.

I mean for purposed of copying spells. I doubt I have much for a Magus, though, and if the boat ride was "quick," we definitely don't have time to copy spells.

Sorry usually post by phone during daytime. Haven't had access to main computer. My first level spells consist of-Burning Hands,Grease,Magic Missile,Mount,Shocking Grasp,True Strike,and Vanish

Sorry for my low post rate guys. I've been hammered at work the last couple of days.

Its ok - once a day is all I ask. More is better but if you can just get a single post up, particulary during combat thats groovy. I may take the occassional liberty and take over players who can't post during combat to keep the flow going if too much time has passed.

During combats, I will most likely post ahead and let it play out on my horrible Init. I'm not melee, and the worst case scenario is "Acid Splash, moving to take the best shot I can (and preferably not in stabbing-distance.)" My to-hit is horrible, no matter what I use anyways.
