Hah! I only wish jobs worked as easily as they do in Pathfinder.

Please come back DM. Please.

Oh yay, when we get to the kingdom building part are we going to create a new thread for that? I have heard that is the best way to go so building discussions don't overload gameplay or discussion.


Campaign maps: Jade Regent | Kingmaker | The Temple of Elemental Evil

Was at the Silicon Valley Comic-Con, which made larger updates difficult (hard to type stuff here on an iPad, especially with the way formatting codes work). Saw Woz.

When we get to kingdom-building, which is probably not super far away, I'm planning to set everything up in shared documents on Google Drive. That way anyone can pop in and update stuff as needed. If we need a separate discussion thread I'll make one of those and jump through whatever hoops we need to get Paizo to attach it to the campaign somehow (or just put a link in the campaign info tab).


Inactive

I like the idea of having two separate threads if possible; one for kingdom stuff and the other for exploring and other things. Did we ever decide how active we want to be with the kingdom-building process? Some groups really get into it and others opt for the 'kingdom in the background' path.


Campaign maps: Jade Regent | Kingmaker | The Temple of Elemental Evil

Had a sinus infection, was pretty out of it!

Hey all, I start my new job on Monday and I'm also working to readjust my sleep schedule (normally an 8a-4p shift is no big deal but when you've slipped into night owl mode...) so my own posts might be a little shorter/sparser than normal this week until I get adjusted to my new schedule. Maintaining 1/day or 'as needed' (since this game moves at a more relaxed pace than some of my others) should still be no problem though :)


Ranger 4/Stalker 1 | HP 23/38 | AC 17, Touch 13, FF 14 | CMB +6 | CMD 19 | Fort +5, Ref +7, Will +5 | Init +3 | Senses: Low-Light Vision, Scent | Perception +12 (+13 at night) | Ki Pool 2/2

At this point, can we all get the explorer feat? I think we have technically crossed more than 30 miles of terrain with no guide and no map. We're creating the map as we go essentially.


Campaign maps: Jade Regent | Kingmaker | The Temple of Elemental Evil

Hmm. Normally you still have to spend a pick to gain a story feat, but this does seem very thematically appropriate. It will also help to speed up your exploration and let you be more self-sufficient for longer journeys out into the wild, so I'll say YES!


Ranger 4/Stalker 1 | HP 23/38 | AC 17, Touch 13, FF 14 | CMB +6 | CMD 19 | Fort +5, Ref +7, Will +5 | Init +3 | Senses: Low-Light Vision, Scent | Perception +12 (+13 at night) | Ki Pool 2/2

Yay. That's a +13 to get along in the wild which means I need a 3 to provide food for everyone assuming we aren't in a bad area.

Just need Valeska to respond. Or we can assume Tzerny says no and Cassandra can go.


Inactive

Wow, that's very generous of you DM - thank you! Cass will get the most mileage out of it by far but it could come in handy if we ever end up needing or being forced to split up for some reason. I'll add it to Kor's profile :)


Campaign maps: Jade Regent | Kingmaker | The Temple of Elemental Evil

I remember Cass asked about the possibility of getting story feats and bonus unlocks back when we first started up. I am generally fond of rewarding players for their characters' achievements in the course of play, so it's a good fit.


Telmarni, CN Female Strix Black Blade Magus Lvl 3 | HP: 18/18 (NL 0) | AC: 16 (+4 with spells 20 AC)(13 Tch, 13 Fl) | CMB: +4, CMD: 17 | F: +4, R: +4, W: +3 | Init: +5 | Perc: +6, SM: 0 | Speed 30ft | Arcane Pool 4/4 | Spells 1st 4/4 Cantrips N/A | Active conditions: NA

Cool! It will be very useful for our whole adventure. I just have to add it to my character as well.


Campaign maps: Jade Regent | Kingmaker | The Temple of Elemental Evil

If Valeska doesn't pop up by tomorrow, I'll have Tzerny take a quick peek -- but the bird is probably too clever to go wandering around in a strange hole underground by itself for too long!


Inactive

So as not to clutter Gameplay, I'll say here that Cass should probably go after Carinna and then Valeska and I can follow in whatever order after that. Would that work for everyone?

*edit* By the way, Valeska doesn't seem to have posted in a little over two weeks. I hope everything is okay :(


Telmarni, CN Female Strix Black Blade Magus Lvl 3 | HP: 18/18 (NL 0) | AC: 16 (+4 with spells 20 AC)(13 Tch, 13 Fl) | CMB: +4, CMD: 17 | F: +4, R: +4, W: +3 | Init: +5 | Perc: +6, SM: 0 | Speed 30ft | Arcane Pool 4/4 | Spells 1st 4/4 Cantrips N/A | Active conditions: NA

I am becoming a bit more concerned about Valeska's quietness. I hope everything is alright as well.


Campaign maps: Jade Regent | Kingmaker | The Temple of Elemental Evil

Yep, sending her a ping.

Quick perusal of aliases shows most-played character hasn't had a post in two months. Not a good sign. :/


Campaign maps: Jade Regent | Kingmaker | The Temple of Elemental Evil

Sorry for the delay -- the S.O. planned a very busy weekend! Back now. :)

No word from Valeska, though. You folks may want to go back to the Recruitment thread and start looking for a replacement healer. :/

Sovereign Court

Female NG human (taldoran) swashbuckler (noble fencer) 3 | HP: 12/28| AC: 20 (15 Tch, 15 Fl) | CMB: +3, CMD: 18 | F: +2, R: +7, W: +2* | Init: +6 | Perc: +7, SM +7 | Speed 30ft | Panache: 2/4| Active conditions: None.

Will we look for a replacement from those that already submitted a PC or will we start a new recruitment thread?

The first option is faster but second one generally brings better PCs.

Sovereign Court

Looking at the previous recruitment thread, Coeran Medvyed got my attention. He is a cleric of Abadar and our group is NG, NG, CG and CN but the two Chaotic PCs are Korinne and Telmarni and neither of the two are "really chaotic".

Even if we started as an all female group, we've been traveling with Vance and Hatch for a long time and there were no problems so far.

He is also more 'spell-focused' which is nice, since we are already pretty competent in combat.

Also, as a reminder, even if this whole campaign somehow screams Erastil and the wilderness, we were 'hired' by Brevoy and Abadar is one of their major gods (Carinna is also fond of the Swordlords ideals).

Just my two cents.


Campaign maps: Jade Regent | Kingmaker | The Temple of Elemental Evil

I think if you like someone from the prior recruitment, we can pursue that person. If you are feeling cold on them or you would like to see more possibilities, we can re-open recruitment for some fresh faces.


Ranger 4/Stalker 1 | HP 23/38 | AC 17, Touch 13, FF 14 | CMB +6 | CMD 19 | Fort +5, Ref +7, Will +5 | Init +3 | Senses: Low-Light Vision, Scent | Perception +12 (+13 at night) | Ki Pool 2/2

I'll review them but I would open a new recruitment rather than posting on this one, that way they can't see us discussing the characters. Feels like talking behind their back.


Telmarni, CN Female Strix Black Blade Magus Lvl 3 | HP: 18/18 (NL 0) | AC: 16 (+4 with spells 20 AC)(13 Tch, 13 Fl) | CMB: +4, CMD: 17 | F: +4, R: +4, W: +3 | Init: +5 | Perc: +6, SM: 0 | Speed 30ft | Arcane Pool 4/4 | Spells 1st 4/4 Cantrips N/A | Active conditions: NA

I agree about the new recruitment thread. Much more easier to recruit a new person for the role I think.


Campaign maps: Jade Regent | Kingmaker | The Temple of Elemental Evil

Well, even if I make a new recruitment thread, it's not hard for people to click on my profile, check my campaigns, and backtrack to this one -- so anyone who wants to can find our Discussion thread anyway. If you want to discuss a character privately the only guarantee is with PMs. :)


Inactive

Enough time has passed that I'm in favor of just opening recruitment via bumping our old thread; anyone still kicking around that applied the first time around should see it and it'll give them the chance to adjust accordingly.

As far as discussing potential new party members goes, I'd say that if you have any non-general comments ("Oh that player is awesome" or "Ehhh, that person is kinda flaky") then PMing DM Jesse would be the way to go. We can certainly give input on what sort of characters we'd like to see here, though! I'm guessing based on previous comments that another player capable of healing is what we're leaning towards?


Campaign maps: Jade Regent | Kingmaker | The Temple of Elemental Evil

If you don't pick up another healer, then it's going to be all on Korinne (using her white mage arcana) and possibly Cassandra with a cure wand. Let's just say that if you get any diseases this could be Bad.


Inactive

Yeahhh, that's kinda what I figured. Luckily there are lots of classes that can fit that bill (to varying degrees)...clerics, oracles, druids, alchemists, shaman, witches... :)


Inactive

By the way I know it can get kinda hairy keeping track of initiative orders and such in combat; I'm watching the thread but you might have to prompt me when it comes back around to Korinne's turn again :)


Telmarni, CN Female Strix Black Blade Magus Lvl 3 | HP: 18/18 (NL 0) | AC: 16 (+4 with spells 20 AC)(13 Tch, 13 Fl) | CMB: +4, CMD: 17 | F: +4, R: +4, W: +3 | Init: +5 | Perc: +6, SM: 0 | Speed 30ft | Arcane Pool 4/4 | Spells 1st 4/4 Cantrips N/A | Active conditions: NA

Well, I hope we can keep Valeska as a NPC for the future of this campaign. Just in case she either comes back, or we might need a position filled when we get to the kingdom building part.


Campaign maps: Jade Regent | Kingmaker | The Temple of Elemental Evil

I'll hang on to Valeska as part of the story, just in case the player does return. She may or may not be useful to kingdom-building. ;)

Sovereign Court

So... if we indeed will make another recruitment, I think we should start now, right? We are in the middle of the fight and the other PC will probably meet us on Oleg's so if we start now, little time (and steam) will be lost.


Campaign maps: Jade Regent | Kingmaker | The Temple of Elemental Evil

Ok, re-opening recruitment!

One fun thing that a different game did in recruitment was have an interstitial scene played out in the Recruitment thread where people interacted with the current party. If you guys want to try that, we could do so when you get back to Oleg's: A bunch of new people are hanging out hoping to get recruited. But, that would mean the recruitment would have to wait 'til after you get back to Oleg's, so that might not be ideal. Up to you folks if you would rather do a conventional "Look at submissions" recruitment or an interstitial scene.

Sovereign Court

Even if this is indeed a good idea and could be fun, I think I'll vote for the conventional recruitment since it will be quicker.


Inactive

Honestly, I can go either way. It does sound fun but Carinna is right that a conventional recruitment might be quicker and easier.


Ranger 4/Stalker 1 | HP 23/38 | AC 17, Touch 13, FF 14 | CMB +6 | CMD 19 | Fort +5, Ref +7, Will +5 | Init +3 | Senses: Low-Light Vision, Scent | Perception +12 (+13 at night) | Ki Pool 2/2

Meh. Either is fine to me. Always willing to try a new kind of recruitment. But the idea doesn't fit well to me. Several people are at Oleg's looking to get recruited? Did the Swordlords send them or are they there of their own volition? Do we choose as players or characters cause that could go very differently. What happens to the ones not chosen? Go home, stick around as NPC's?


Campaign maps: Jade Regent | Kingmaker | The Temple of Elemental Evil

Presumably the ones not chosen would form different bands and go off to different locations. My main worry with trying that unconventional recruitment is that KM tends to get something like 60+ players applying at once and that would just be a madhouse.


Telmarni, CN Female Strix Black Blade Magus Lvl 3 | HP: 18/18 (NL 0) | AC: 16 (+4 with spells 20 AC)(13 Tch, 13 Fl) | CMB: +4, CMD: 17 | F: +4, R: +4, W: +3 | Init: +5 | Perc: +6, SM: 0 | Speed 30ft | Arcane Pool 4/4 | Spells 1st 4/4 Cantrips N/A | Active conditions: NA

Maybe we can have one of our "Sponsors" recruit in Restov maybe? Gives a reason to maybe make a couple NPCs for later on... ^_^

But this is coming from someone that uses HeroLabs a little bit too much making characters. >.>


Campaign maps: Jade Regent | Kingmaker | The Temple of Elemental Evil

Goin' camping. May or may not have signal 'til Monday!

Have fun and we'll see you Monday!

A day late. Not good. I SHALL FIND HIM!

Survival to find DM: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

HELP! I CAN'T FIND HIM!


Inactive

He's around! He's in another game with me so I imagine we'll hear something soon. But are we waiting for another DM post or is he waiting on one of us? I'm a little confused on that now :\


Ranger 4/Stalker 1 | HP 23/38 | AC 17, Touch 13, FF 14 | CMB +6 | CMD 19 | Fort +5, Ref +7, Will +5 | Init +3 | Senses: Low-Light Vision, Scent | Perception +12 (+13 at night) | Ki Pool 2/2

I thought combat was over so I was gauging the others. I doubt we are waiting on recruitment. We need to finish the mites before deciding.


Telmarni, CN Female Strix Black Blade Magus Lvl 3 | HP: 18/18 (NL 0) | AC: 16 (+4 with spells 20 AC)(13 Tch, 13 Fl) | CMB: +4, CMD: 17 | F: +4, R: +4, W: +3 | Init: +5 | Perc: +6, SM: 0 | Speed 30ft | Arcane Pool 4/4 | Spells 1st 4/4 Cantrips N/A | Active conditions: NA

Yes, there is still a centipede and a mite in the same room as us. Lets see about finishing those two off at least.


Campaign maps: Jade Regent | Kingmaker | The Temple of Elemental Evil

I'm back! Monday night I only had access to my iPad, which is terrible for anything more than posting a sentence or two and abysmal for using Roll20.

Welcome back DM!


Campaign maps: Jade Regent | Kingmaker | The Temple of Elemental Evil

If you folks don't mind, please go over the new potential recruits and let me know (in a private message) if any of them really stand out for you.

Some of you may have already done so. ;)
