Right now it feels quite railroady. I'm looking forward to the part where that will open up and you get the command about the order of events.


Kitsune Game Master

Hi there. I'm prepared to close the funeral and bring all to Miss Kendras home.

Herm, are you going to give your speech at the grave? I'm waiting for that to continue.

Or if someone wants to sing a ballad?

Sorry I will, just hit my sit down time at work so I will have it up shortly.


Kitsune Game Master

I just wanted to know if you know that it's your turn. No need to hurry. I wanted only to avoid that you wait for me and I for you. What time zone you're in? So I have some idea when to expect you're awake and checking posts?

I am in EST (Canada) It is 0932 here right now.

I did just post.

I check frequently during the day.


Kitsune Game Master

Tahnk's for the info.

In an hour I'm back home at my PC. I'll wait until then if someone else wants to say or sing a few words.

I may be one of your bigger time zone headaches. West coast of the U.S., Pacific Time Zone. Just woke up.

Sorry I didn't post during that scene, it took place after work while I was running a game and then while I was asleep. :)

I'm in the Eastern US.

I'm in the eastern time zone as well, i'll probably end up posting in the morning or round midnight, i'm usually up till all hours of the night anyway .

I'm in CET like you. I almost never post from work, but often post on the way there or on the way home. Sometimes I have time to post when I come home. But more often I have time even later in the evening.

It would be nice to get a post in at the funeral.

No need to be sorry. What I needed was some good answers and a good diplomacy roll. Like in real life things don't get necessarily better when all together try to persuade one person ;)

Then I'll wait for you too.


Kitsune Game Master

The next scene will end in Kendra's living room with her asking you to introduce yourself.

She will take out a ball and throw it to one of the group who should then tell his/her name his/her occupation and a hobby and then throw the ball to someone else :o)

Not really but you get the idea. As Kendra only has heard stories of you and you as a group also meet for the first time...


Kitsune Game Master

At the moment I'm guessing if I should move on or wait if someone, in this case Carmine would want to react to this arm grabbing. If you think I'm guessing wrong please let me know.

Hopefully my learning curve isn't too flat.

It won't drastically impact the other things going on, so it's fine to move on, we can just play it out besides the other things going on.


Kitsune Game Master

Theese messageboards seriously need a function to insert replies directly behind the post one is replying to. The Adrian Monk in me twitches every time the story has backjumps. I'm going to get my medication now ;)

We could quote each other if that makes things easier for you.


Kitsune Game Master

No. If it's fine with you it's ok. If I have some longer things I want to play out with another player I usually do a

meanwhile at ...
______________

And try to get it prepared ahead of time and then posting it in short succession. But I won't put that burden on you. Being like Adrian Monk isn't something that should be encouraged.


Kitsune Game Master

Good morning Herm. After I noticed your post I changed mine accordingly. Please take another look.

Morning, working a night shift so I am up

Only waiting 3 hours before concluding that no one wants to open the chest seems a bit rash. I wish I had all day (and night) to play, but sadly I also got other commitments.

It's not so much the time that I wouldn't want to wait longer. It's the fact that she offered and two people didn't take her up on the offer talking about different things. (No matter if the players didn't want or didn't see the offer) I saw it as her standing around being more curious than the others. So she just stepped back from her pushing stance and decided to wait.

Does that make sense?

Sure thing. Sorry if I come across as too blunt/direct. I know that I unfortunately rub people the wrong way sometimes by the way I communicate. Know that I mean nothing wrong with it.


Kitsune Game Master

No need to apologize. I asked for your intervention if I'm to fast/too slow and you did. I just wanted to explain why I did so you can tell me if that makes sense, or if I should have waited anyway.


Male Human Bard (Sound Striker/Dirge Bard)

I won't be able to update until tonight (here) could we pause advancement until I have a chance?


Kitsune Game Master

I guess you mean not leaving the room before that, right?

My advancement is done anyway. Railroad is at an end.

What time of the day was it? I was under the impression it was morning, so waiting to the next day seems a bit wasteful.

I assumed Mid to late day because of the funeral and such


Kitsune Game Master

I think Carmine means tonight Pacific Standard Time which is about eight hours from now.

In the game it is almost noon. Funeral at 10am reading of the will at 11.30am.


Kitsune Game Master

The funny thing is that once you know how far away Ravengro is from the next settlement it makes no sense at all, that the characters arrive just in time for the funeral, no matter at what time it is. :o)

GM Question:

A book with a rich purple cover contains a brass scarab set with a single eye in its center.

Does Tairan know anything about the Order of the Palatine Eye? Let me know if I need to make a Knowledge check of some kind.


Kitsune Game Master

DC 25 Knowledge (arcana, history, or local) to have a clue about the book with the scarab.

It is not important yet and the chances are slim so I didn't offer a spoiler to identify. If you roll high enough I'll give the information.

Knowledge (arcana): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28


Kitsune Game Master

Ok, I wasn't clear about that.
I meant in gameplay.

You can keep your good roll. But I'll post the answer over there.

Sorry, I didn't realize you wanted that in the gameplay thread! BTW is the current year is 4716AR? Or the year the AP was published, 4711AR?


Kitsune Game Master

I have no clue. That's the reason why the last will had only a month on it. If you understand the dating system and know a reference to set the dates for my adventures I would really appreciate if you share the knowledge.
Also about month and how they correlate to seasons and such.

If you really want to know what that book is about you're only half a dozen rolls with a DC of 23+ away ;)

For the dating system, take the real world year (e.g. 2016) and replace the first two digits with '47'.

So the current campaign year is 4716.

When Rise of the Runelords was first published in 2007 the campaign year was 4707.

The days and months of the Golarion calendar map directly onto real world equivalents as laid out here.


Kitsune Game Master

Thank you very much.

So winter it is. I'd say we take the year of the release 4711AR.

So, how do the rest of you feel discussing plans and mechanics? Personally I really like it. Gives us something fun to do that doesn't require as much creative effort. I realize not all feel that way though... So, how do you all feel about it?

For example skills: discussing which skills each of us plan to cover could let us change things so we don't end up with redundant choices. I'm planning for Tamara to focus mostly on social skills, diplomacy, bluff and sense motive, though not intimidate. She'll also work on knowledge religion and perception, both skills that seem like they could be quite useful in this campaign and it probably wouldn't hurt to have more people competent in them. I might also dip into spellcraft. I haven't decided if I'm going for any crafting feats yet, but if I do then I'll need spellcraft.


Male Skinwalker (Bloodmarked) Unchained Rogue (Phantom Thief/Relic Raider) 1

Haval will be quite well versed in Intimidation, if only it worked on the undead.

On skills I do have a question though: What would knowledge of anatomy fall under? Knowledge: Nature or Heal? I'm talking anatomy in a broader sense, so mammalian in general (which would include all of the more common humanoids but would also include animals)


Kitsune Game Master

Perception is always good in this game. You can always compensate for a lack by using common sense like searching thouroughly when you know there has to be something, but anyone who as it as class skill should pt at least one rank into it. Just my two cents worth.

As for Anatomy it depends what you want to do with it. Heal is a good choice for humanoids obviously. And for mammals you can make an educated guess with heal. Besides that profession (hunter) or (butcher) would do the trick for animals. If you're more specific what you want from that?


Female Half-elf | Alchemist / Summoner | Init:+2 | H9/9 | AC:13[15] T:10[11] FF:13[14] CMD:10 | F:+3[4] R:+2 W:+3* (+2 vs mind-affecting)| Perc:+7, Low-light, [dark] | Spells: 1st 2/2, Extracts : Open 2/2 | SM: 7/7

What other skills will you focus on? Hopefully the lack of trapfinding won't come back to haunt us. I imagine there are quite a few traps in this AP.

@Amira: I believe we are playing with background skills, you get two more skill points (one of which can replace the one you already have in perform, though you haven't specified what perform skill you are putting ranks in).


Kitsune Game Master

Everyone can roll perception to find traps. And disable them or try with one rank in disable device. The only thing you can't do is disable magic traps. At least not with disable device. But you could dispel those.


Kitsune Game Master

And no we don't play with background skills. That question was asked already in Recruitment.


Female Half-elf | Alchemist / Summoner | Init:+2 | H9/9 | AC:13[15] T:10[11] FF:13[14] CMD:10 | F:+3[4] R:+2 W:+3* (+2 vs mind-affecting)| Perc:+7, Low-light, [dark] | Spells: 1st 2/2, Extracts : Open 2/2 | SM: 7/7

Oups, then I need to remove those from my sheet...


Kitsune Game Master

What I said was that I might throw in bonus skill points if someone keeps doing things that are not relevant for the hard skills but only for role playing reasons.


Male Skinwalker (Bloodmarked) Unchained Rogue (Phantom Thief/Relic Raider) 1

It's a rather niche thing: being a Bloodmarked Haval has a taste for drinking, or rather eating, blood. While he himself has never had anything but animal blood (he has a preference for cattle) he still would know how to properly draw blood from a humanoid should the need arise.
Under normal circumstances he wouldn't do it but if death is the only other option he won't hesitate.

Just to be clear, Haval is well aware that things like that freak people out under the most positive of circumstances. Discretion and secrecy is something he has known from early childhood.

amira's perform is in singing, forgot to mention


Kitsune Game Master

But I don't see how you would need a skill roll for that. If you do it with something dead you search for the veins or the arteries and with living blood donors you would have to roll a called attack if you have a bite attack with your race.

I intend to have a plethora of Knowledge skills and Spellcraft. My main Knowledge skills will likely be arcana, history, and religion. I also intend to keep high ranks in Perception, Diplomacy, and Disable Device. I'll probably throw a few skill points into Linguistics.

Herm will be focusing on Knowledge: Religion, Heal, and a point to perception, then whatever.

Only having minimal skill points I need to put them in think that Herm would need.
