Roughrider Fighter 1. Still need to pick 1 more trait, that will be done today. Fluff will be done this weekend.

HEY RED!

I'll get the stuff done this weekend as well. But in general, Bash is a foehammer who likes to overrun, charge, and push people around. He's also got a keen dwarven friendliness about him.

Looking good, guys! Right now we're waiting on the last two players to get their characters finalized and then we should be good to go. In the meantime, let's chat! Or rather, I'll chat a little about myself and how I hope for things to go :)

Who's GM Ladile?
Everyone here already knows me from other games and by various names (Briana/Corona/Marigold) but in all of those I've been a player. While this technically isn't my first GM experience ever, it's my first solo flight as one.

What does GM Ladile hope for?
Ideally I'd like for everyone to have fun and for myself to learn a thing or two about GMing! I'm excited to run and even more excited to do it for folks that have ran games for me and have been a pleasure to play alongside.

What does GM Ladile promise you?
Unfortunately, my work and sleep schedule are not set and fluctuate from week to week. This means that I can't promise that I'll always post 'X' number of times every single day. But I can promise that I will do my best to post as much as I need to (and can) each day and that if I anticipate missing a day or days, I will let you know.

I also promise that I will do my very best to show you all a good time while we adventure together.

What does GM Ladile need from you?
Since I am a new GM, please be patient with me when (not if) I make mistakes. If you believe I've made an error, please let me know and I will take steps to correct it if I can. If you have a question, please ask! And above all, if you're not happy with the game then please talk to me about it, whether here in Discussion or privately via PM. I'll do my best to create an enjoyable experience for everyone but I can't address problems if I don't know that there's a problem in the first place!
______

That's all that I can think of for the moment. Any questions about anything? :)

Looking forward to it! Happy to be a fun test subject, at some point I'll be in your shoes, maybe this fall when my work schedule calms down I'll step off into the deeper end of the pool.

Some things to know about my character... he's another high str 2h power attacker, I swear its not all I play! But you've played mostly with Mort so... ya. Most the foehammer's abilities don't kick in until starting 3rd level so basically right now he's just a dwarven fighter that likes bull rush and overrun, so I'd take a quick read through those combat maneuvers just to be familiar.

If there's anything I can do to help or whatever feel free to ask.

Player Name: Massee
Character Name: Bash Steeltoe
PFS ID#: 202046-10
Faction: Grand Lodge
Day Job (if you have one): Prof:Miner: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27

Will do and thanks for the info!

Does anyone else have any interesting character tactics or abilities that I need to keep in mind? :)

Sounds good to me!

Damien here is largely a mounted fighter. Mounts can't always be taken wherever we go, so I'll need to know when you'll allow him to take his horse into battle and when you won't. I've played this before, so I assume when we get to the cave, he may need to tie his horse up and enter on foot. This is fine, of course. He has backup weapons, he's just slow without a mount. :)

Alas, since you and your faithful steed Ruby are medium and large-sized respectively you are correct that she might have to stay behind at some point ;)

Huh...I was about to ask about what tricks she knows but then I read the Roughrider archetype and see that your mount really is just a mount and not an animal companion! That's an interesting choice; any reason you went the fighter route instead of cavalier or something else? :)

I like the flexibility of having a fighter and stacking Mounted feats works pretty well. Fighters get tons of feats. Damien may be my first multi because Cavaliers get Horse Master at Level 4 which makes mounts a lot more formidable.
I do worry however about large sized mounts and their viability in PFS, and could have been a gnome riding a pony to fix that issue, but the damage output would not have been as nice. I will just have to stick to less dungeon-y scenarios :)

GM Ladile, Ryan here, let me try this again. Was posting Friday night and instead of the dog eating my homework she reset my laptop. Funniest part is she's probably a <6lbs mini-dauchshund; the runt of the litter. She maybe small but she has a deadly paw; at least for electronics. I hadn't saved the post or the Hero Lab file :(

I looked in Friday and you had two fighters and a sorcerer, of course I had created the new PC not thinking there'd be another 2 fighters, So I have Bregan, lvl 2, Kitsune swashbuckler and Erik a lvl 1 weapon master - (built loosely on the grey knight from the Frostborn series - just struck my fancy to see if it could be made viable).

Do you have a preference or something else you'd rather have filled.

No worries Ryan, I kinda figured it would take the weekend for everyone to finish their characters! As far as what to play, that is entirely up to you and/or your fellow teammates :)

Have you played Confirmation before? I know the other three have as well as our 5th player. In case you haven't, if you are concerned about healing I can say that the scenario does offer some help in that regard if the party needs it.

*edit*

@Damien - Okay, cool! I look forward to hearing/seeing how it works. I have to admit to some grar on my part at how sooo many modules and APs are not mount-friendly unless you're playing a small PC, but hopefully PFS has more options for playing a medium mounted character!

@ GM Ladile (a.k.a. Marigold)

Bolonwr is similar to Juraan for bloodline stuff.
He's a bit tougher in a dust-up, though.

He does enjoy using acid rays, though!

His priorities in combat will be:
Further than 50 feet: Magic Missile
At further ranges (30 to 50 feet) - Sling (1d4+1)
Up to 30 ft - Acid Ray (1d6+1), or Disrupt Undead if appropriate
If out of level 1 spells: Ray of Frost, doing acid damage (1d3+1 acid damage)
Melee - light flail

He will also try buffing allies with the Resistance cantrip whenever we're up against less mundane foes.

Haven't played this character for a while, which is why I chose him.
And you are right; I am rather fond of sorcerers!

Still working on this character, if you need a wizard

I have the bare bones of an elf rogue if it would be better, Lady L.

Lady L, neither of these are front liners so not much difference there, May choose to play Erik outside of PFS as pretty much all my games are PbP.

And it may take a bit to get to know his play, without ending up dead :)

Eredur should be ready now

Player Name EScharid
Character Name Eredur Smagg (the younger)
PFS ID# 133884-9
Faction Grand Lodge
Day Job (if you have one) Craft-Jeweller, msw artisan tools, Artisan Trait: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 7 + 2 + 2 = 28

Okay Ryan, if you want to play Bregan here then that will be fine!

I'm off to bed for a bit (worked ye olde graveyard shift last night) but I will look to officially get this show underway after I've had my nap :D

Ah why not he's already saved as a PFS character.

Player Name:CharlesJ
Character Name: Eric Oathsworn
PFS ID#:146422-5
Faction:Silver Crusade
Day job: not one that he's paid for :)

Guys this was an idea, but I have no idea how it will play. The character I based him on was a fun read.

And we're officially off! As always, if there's any questions about anything please feel free to ask. Also, I'm aiming to hopefully not take too long with this as I know no one wants to have a character tied up for weeks and weeks and weeks. However if at any point I'm going too fast, please let me know and I'll throttle it down! This probably won't even be an issue for anyone except possibly Eredur's player, who I know lives in Europe.

Oh and since everyone but Bolonwr is 1st level we will still be playing in Subtier 1, if anyone was curious :)

Whew. Good. There's a certain BBEG that frightens me at Subtier 2... ;)

By the way, what are everyone's plans for the holiday weekend? I'm not doing much besides working (Friday, Sunday, and Monday - all night shifts) but I'm happy to take a break for a couple of days if people are going out of town or have plenty-o-plans! Otherwise I'm going to keep rolling us forward (and likely into combat) soon... >:)

I should be around unless storms roll in, I work for the utility co, so that could monkey wrench thing but otherwise....

I'll be home for the holiday with company so I'll still be posting, just maybe at a reduced rate, but maybe not!

I'll be home for our long weekend (Canada Day on July 1st).

Huh...it's sounding like most everyone should be around this weekend then, in some capacity. In that case I'll continue as normal and everyone can post as they're able to :)

Yup, I'll be around but out most of Canada Day for a BBQ & bonfire - about the closest to something outdoorsy that I'll agree to do...

City slicker!

:) I'll be the first to admit I'm a sucker for convenience and amenities. And air conditioning. And a lack of insects.

AC? What's that? Insects can be a pain sometimes, you just gotta dress correctly. Not too much better than a nice campfire with bbq and beers though in the summer. Especially if the skeeters stay away.

Happy Canada Day tomorrow.

I'm French, so I don't care. ^^

GM, is there any difficult terrain here? I'm trying to get an idea of whether I can have Ruby charge.

Actually no, the terrain is normal! Just watch out for all those trees :)

*edit* Check that, mostly normal terrain with the little areas of bushes being difficult.

Hey guys, please bear with me if my writing/posting seems a little janky or slower than normal. In addition to working last night (and I work tonight as well) I ended up hitting a deer on my way to work Friday night so now I'm working on dealing with getting my car repaired and making sure I've got alternate means of transportation!

Sorry to hear that. I'm just glad that you're still here posting, because it means you're alright! Deer and moose are quite dangerous, especially when driving at night.

Ya they never got the memo about best being seen, heard or eaten and to stay off the roads!

Good luck on the repairs.

You've got my condolences!
Especially working nights (did that lots as a cab driver over the years).

Sorry to hear about the car, glad you're OK though. Night shifts are tough as well, I'm on a standard full-time day shift for the first time in close to 20 years, so take your sleep when you can get it. We'll be here.

Happy 4th of July to my fellow Americans, happy Tuesday to the rest of the world! And remember kids, it's not a proper rendition of the 1812 Overture unless it has cannons!

Also thanks guys; my insurance people got back to me quickly and hopefully will be able to start working on my car in a few days. In the meantime they've set me up with a rental so I'll be able to get around :)

Also Part 2, I'll update us a little later on in the morning!

Deer and moose are quite dangerous, especially when driving at night.

Never, never gives a deer or moose the wheel. Especially at night.

By the way, I hope everyone is finding the game fun and its pace satisfactory so far! Damien and Bash, your posts yesterday with the pool made me laugh my butt off and were definitely a nice thing to see after waking up :)

It's been good so far.
I was surprised that Bolonwr didn't get soaked, actually.

Certainly am! I'll provide comic relief and a face smashin dwarf. Hopefully someone else has the skills area covered...

Bolonwr: luck always runs in both directions, especially when you least expect it! I'm just happy to only take a swim verses feeding some giant croc or something.

Oh yeah, this game has been running silky smooth so far. I'm really enjoying playing this PC too! It'll be fun watching Bash and Damien double team foes with earthbreakers.

Great! I'm glad people are enjoying themselves and their PCs, too! I'd love to play Corona with some of these guys, hehe.

Having fun too, and enjoying having you as a GM.

Just as FYI, I might be a little slower on my updates this weekend as I'm working day shift tomorrow and then I'll be out doing live PFS a good portion of Sunday! However I will do my best to keep things trucking along :)

LIVE! Enjoy the game.

Coincidentally, I'm running RotR LIVE! with some of my newbie friends today. It'll be our first game. I may not update much starting a few hours from now.

Awesome! RotRL is what my group started with too when we made the switch to PF. Enjoy! :)
