this starts the 8th no? and are we trying to recruit any more players?

Init +5 *
Perception +17 *
Caravan: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (6) + 23 = 29

Notes: All bonuses likely will be higher/different in play as this character has a painful number of situational bonuses. As our GM is aware, I try to keep a Spoiler in any combat-oriented post with the latest modifiers summarized. I'll often forget to add my holy weapon damage, too. :)

I'll also folio that day job if we wrap up the scenario and the folio re-roll is still available (and I remember).

This does start on the 8th of November and we are still recruiting for two more! If anyone is looking for a high tier, send them this way!

Fizzbeard looks awesome! Notes: He is built to level 9 at the moment and I believe you have two levels sitting on him, so he should be updated to 11.

Sue looks awesome as I haven't seen that variant of the CoI in action yet. Bewildering Koan will be fun. ;D Notes: Reflex Save on the spoiler is wrong. You missed a '1' so it should read '14' not '4'. Tagline still looks like it has a Mage Armor active to give an extra +4 to AC and FFAC.

Sento looks good to me. It is basically Karu, so I am familiar with the build!

Thorgan is on point, as always. I often forget things like Holy, so I just never buy it... >.>

This party is massive in terms of damage output and sustainability, so I don't anticipate problems for a four player party, however if you guys find anyone willing to join, then I am all for it!

Updated!

And Fizzbeard might look powerful on paper but he has had a checkered history of terrible rolls and luck, including his axebeak dying twice due to unfortunate crits and an inability to block them with Mounted Combat. And then he had to struggle with 15' movement for the rest of the adventures, which really gimped him. Let's hope this adventure is better for him!

As always, Bold Strider gets a hearty thank-you from me for tackling running games at the higher subtiers, as they can be quite a handful with all the various PC abilities.

You've certainly run some of the best high tier games in terms of clarifying PC capabilities and maintaining a challenge... which is why I keep signing up!

Thorgan has a ton of gold, so he'll be picking up some winged boots after Drowning Stones.

I need to update my stat block under face, but I think the character sheet itself is correct.

121978-1
Perc: +12 Init: +4
Dayjob: Craft (traps): 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (19) + 19 = 38

43907-1
Init +8 perception +17
Dayjob: trying to find a wife

I have purchases to make that will change my stats a bit. I've got 50k gp to spend and I really think I'll need higher than a 19 AC.

Go team Gnome!

Oh yah, team Gnome!

Gonme - Paladin 11
Gnome - Arcane Archer 10
Gnome - Champion of Irori 9
Dwarf - Inquisitor 11
Human - Champion of Irori 10
Half-Elf - Archer 11

Looks good, excited to get started with the preliminaries tomorrow.

Anything we can do at the moment GM to make your life easier?

Arcane Archer is 11, though. 4, 6, and 1

Three gnomes.

Pure awesome.

Nothing at the moment Sue! Thanks though.

Stealing this from GM Lithrac:

Here's some additional information about how this special scenario is going to play out.

The Overseer GM, Jesse Davis, is going to post information on a regular basis at the following location: http://pathfindersocietyonline.com/2015/11/pbp-gameday-iv-siege-of-serpents -overseer-posts/, where some capital information will be communicated. It is paramount that you check that link every time you check the gameplay thread.

For ease of use, I've included the link in the header. The password to that website has been PMed to you - please don't divulge it or post it in a public area.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

I'm really happy about this game! I am also really happy about this game!

also will be updating my purchases with a wand of CLW 2pp and 10 javelins

For what i know there only three section S NW And NE. So most likely we will take south.

-Posted with Wayfinder

@Geatan: South has already been chosen and you are already in combat in the south. See the Gameplay thread.

@Thorgan: Sounds good for the buffs.

I was rôleplaying that Gaétan don't talk in combat. He can think. That what i was doing. I should have add Gaétan thinks.

Ok for the attack. I will stop the confirm. It will be more easy in my side.

As for the meta. It a statue. Diamond is better than stone. I didn't know a roll was needed.
It... is a style of play, that I am not familiar with. But dm is always right.

Sigh. I admit also that I don't know how to rollplay someone who just draws 5 arrows and shoots. I need help for that.

-Posted with Wayfinder

One of the nice things about pbps is there are plenty of ways to roleplay without talking.

Examples:
Tell us about your stance, do you plant your feet and fire rapidly or bob and weave for the best shot.

Do you squint your eyes in concentration or maintain a blank face of calm.

Do you smile when you hit or grimace when you miss, there are plenty of ways, especially in a pbp to add flavor to even mechanically boring actions.

Or just use italics to tell us what you think, are you nervous, confident, joyful, angry?

The italic was used... but i didn't add Gaétan thinks.

Émotion, posture,way of acting. I will try to change my last post to fit this.

So does anybody tries to help more?

I don't speak draconic, I would not be helpful.

Fizz can't speak Draconic either (although he should probably learn it) and you probably don't want him speaking more than he has anyways, what with his prejudice against dragons.

Did we do knowledge check from them?

Sorry about the delay! I got swamped by work and then went to a place where no person should live, aka a place without cell phone coverage. But, I'm back!

Little problem can I still talk even I can roll?

Also, could sento speak before my second post?

-Posted with Wayfinder

I don't understand the questions.

he rolled a 4 on his diplomacy attempt and posted before I posted I think he is asking if it counted.

now that im looking he deleted his roll.

Edit: honestly im fine with you using his roll at best it would encourage team work instead of a race to the dice roller at worst it would allow half the party to get their racial hatred (and dragon(ish) slaying) on.

Ninjad by Gm Edit: blar.

Ah, I updated it with Sento's check, so feel free to respond to that.

Nope... It was that..
Oh! So that you mean.

I rolled a four. Didn't matter. Than after the respond of the gm, I posted an another speech with a diplo. Sento remind me that i can only do one diplomacy per person in 24 hours. So I erase it. Than I was wondering if I could still act even i don"t do diplomacy skill.

As for Sentos. She's has did"nt have time to post before the result so i was wondering if we could have let's her talk before the second post I done.

I should really take my time. Calm down myself.

I'll try and sneak in a post late tonight or tomorrow during the day, but I'm going to be at a con Friday night and Saturday during the day and largely out of contact.

Just noticed something. My primary langage is french. (Not from France) So it explains a little my posts.

-Posted with Wayfinder

I grokked that English was not your first.

Good luck at the con hope you roll lots of 20s Sue

But what do we do?

Thorgan just open the window. The clock thicking.

-Posted with Wayfinder

I think it's a window that will require destroying to get in through.

If there's a dozen Aspis with daggers at the throats of a dozen nice people, that could mean a dozen dead nice people. Thorgan's jaded, but not that jaded yet...

Once we get a sense of what's going on inside, we can take appropriate action with low risk. It's just taken us a while to get there...

You are right.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Heu, i don't know. I saw Sue saying that she had enough so I supposed that gaétan was hearing that so he just act. But it is too late, now so let's just pass this.

-Posted with Wayfinder

My reasoning was that she would have to say it pretty loud for Thorgan and Geatan to hear and the half-orc can hear just as well, so it would go into initiative at her saying so, not after she Bewildering Koans.

Also, as this section of the scenario ends tomorrow at noon, it is likely that we will not save the initiates. I will check in tonight in a little bit for any late night posts and tomorrow before I head to work, but I'd need a fair amount to give you guys credit for this one.

Finally, this is directed at everyone, but we are on a timed schedule here. I understand that Thanksgiving was yesterday, but we have players that haven't posted anything since Tuesday. I don't want to be a bad guy, but we all signed up for a timed experience that would take place over the holiday, so the requirement to keep high rates of posting falls to everyone. I'd like to move forward from this with posts from people every day. I understand missing a day every once in a while, but only three of the six players have posted in the last two days.

I have already done my action, than Destroy the window. (Those adamantine arrow should work.)

If you are breaking the window, then combat will start.

I am not sure the group will be okay with that but

But I break the window.

Ha, I think that's the first time anybody has ever made the sense motive check.

I haven't posted since Tuesday because Tysi doesn't do much but shoot. She's not terribly diplomatic. I've been reading, just didn't have much to contribute. Sorry.
