If you got a PM from me inviting you here, please check in here and discuss any last character issues, out of character topics, etc.
Dotting in. :) Hoping to tie in backgrounds, maybe, with some others, though I'll have to wait to find out who they are.
What season is it currently?
Dotting in
Joining in.
A few things about Anabella:
- She's lived in Trunau her whole life A Halgra's adopted daughter.
- She has a fox tail and ears, and her eyes and the end of her hair and tail change color with the season.
- Her family and closest friends call her Ana.
- She's been nicknmed Wolf while on raiding trips and by her fellow raiding members and leaders.
- Very few still use term 'The Fox' that she first got when she first got to Trunau. She generally doesn't take well to it.
We are still waiting on one to check in, and I think I wasn't clear on the rolls, but it's all good. Since Somer has the highest Init bonus, he will roll for that each round.
Meanwhile, can everyone do me a favor and make sure that you have your basic stats in your header like Anabella and Mouser have done? Extra is fine (like Derrik is doing) - I just like to have easy access to HP, AC and Saves.
I will have some notes, but please keep your conditions, stats, and inventory up to date for yourselves.
Geez, Halgra gets around. A herd of children when she came back 20 years ago, Halgra's currently youngest daughter is 12, so she had even more when she settled back down in Trunau. She's 62 currently, so she was 50 when Ruby was born. Does it ever say for sure just how many kids this woman had?
Not in the AP... I haven't actually bought the other book that documents Trunau yet, so I am really just going with the AP and the player's guide.
We did have characters submitted as both her children and one as her grandchild!

Okay, I'm ready to get started here.
A few thoughts on my character and build:
1. My first level is Swashbuckler, but everything else will be Rogue and Halfling Opportunist. But for this first level, we may be challenged with traps and such.
2. I'm not a big damage-dealer. I will primarily be dealing conditions and debuffs to the bad guys, so I hope others can handle some damage.
Looking forward to this!
Great, no pressure on the Init rolls :)
I copied the format form the others for the header line. Regarding full inventory, right now I just have it in the Dropbox file but I can put into the text character sheet. I just find that clunkier.
I'll be out of town this weekend, back Monday! Please bot as needed!
Oh the timing...
With two people out of town are we going to hold or press onward with the tug-o-war?
Either way who is meant to roll for the stregnth check when the times comes?
I think you, Somer. Basically, the person with the highest base init bonus rolls for the group adding on everyone's Str. Since the tug of war will mainly be dice rolls, we could get the rolls out of the way and wait for roleplaying results until Mon.
Ahhh I had misinterpreted that. I will do that now.
...we have to let them have a chance, right? It wouldn't be good sportsmanship to just pull them into the ground on the first go.
Yeah, that is what I was doing.
So Somer rolls init and then rolls for Str, twice more for each (assuming we continue to win). We can do this! We're winning even as we fumble, guys. No sweat!
All my physical dice usually roll against me, but my virtual dice usually roll well for me.

I have a bag of about 40 different sets of dice for situations like this. I would be digging though the bag about now.
When i GM I have one heavy metal set but if the dice ae for or againt me there it matters less lol.
8O
And this is where I reveal my noob side. I only have two sets. Then again, I haven't played a good F2F game since I'be actually had a job to afford more. I do like dice, though. They just don't like me.
I'm back! :D
I am not going to peak at the local knowladge but I will say it is killing me. I live in the community, I should know something. Maybe those of us with character that live here could have an automatic take 10 or something that just represents us being concious.
(yes this is b+*~#ing about my pee poor dice roles so far.)
Also thank you for ending the tug of war. It was getting embarassing for me.
Don't worry. Ana wouldn't let you lose! Though she doesn't know how to help your really, really bad luck so far. Just save all the good rolls for combat.
Knowledge (local) 18+7=25
Looks like we've been outsmarted, though. Gnome's know everything, apparently.
:D
I agree - anyone who actually resides here can take 10.
If someone has prestigitation, we could clean it unless it was magical, in which case, it doesn't matter how much Omast tries.
Can we tell what the graffiti of?
I can prepare prestidigitation for tomorrow but do not have it set today. Not sure if that will take if off given what we know but happy to try.
I have prestidigitation prepared. If we're lucky it might be able to do the trick - depends on how stubborn the dye is. Prestidigitation usually has trouble doing stuff that couldn't be done manually (e.g. it can do your laundry, but those tough stains aren't gonna come out any better with prestidigitation than they would with a really good scrub).
Did we sit with Omast all night just for a period of time for him to sober? Given the opportunity Somer would want to rest and prepare spells so I do not want to accidentally miss the opportunity.
I would say a couple hours was enough. It is early evening now.
So we still have his girlfriend to talk to and maybe going to examine his body for other possible causes of death. However, Ana wouldn't actually recommend this IC, so...
@GM: Is his father in town, or out on patrol?
The father is likely in town, given the recent death of his son.
Re Diplomacy:
Mouser brings up a good point about rolling. As a general rule in a town my character lives I don't unless asked to or there is apparent conflict. Of course I probably also avoid since Somer is unskilled at it.
Over a RL table it is easier to read the group dynamic on this.
What is the GM's preference on things like that?
So here's my take on Bluff, Intimidate and Diplomacy. The rules for these skills are pretty well defined, so I like to use them whenever they are appropriate. Having said that, I do tend to let them take a backseat to roleplaying in most cases, unless you are trying to achieve a certain reaction. So, you are always welcome to provide a roll, and rollplay it accordingly, or you can forgo the role in most conversations, in which I will either ask for one, or assume you take 10. I generally will not let pure roleplay get around the mechanics, however. If you have a 7 Charisma, I am not going to just let you make a good case. Likewise, if you have an 19, I am not going to force you to be eloquent.
In this case, a roll would not have been necessary, as she was happy to talk. But also in this case, she was put off by the fact that no one answered her question of 'why', so it just made her defensive. So all is good, either way.
I don't live and die by the dice, because I consider this more of a social game than a video game (I am really old school), but like in real life, sometimes things just don't go your way and I like how the dice simulate that.
...Well, at least Ana can't be beat at tracking. :)
I was trying to just help lol
This might actually be the shortest AP run ever...
Are we all about to die?
Tamxander please roll well.
Maybe he should get a bonus for our doors and windows being locked :)
That good enough for ya?
Tam you are my hero. See everyone should have stayed with the magic users.
I await the GM on what happens next but since I did not specify how far away are my weapons.
Hey, invited you over :) yell at the other guys.
