GM Nel's Kingmaker Campaign
Game Master CRobledo

I will be leaving this afternoon for a weekend getaway with little internet access. Feel free to play me if you want--just have him shout "onward!" and smite enemies. Or wait until Sunday night.

Thanks everyone--this is lots of fun. I love the Bingo/Drispeera storyline. It could go lots of interesting ways.

Err... who's the surly bald guy? (normanak?)

Bingo's main acct, he forgot to switch alias

My bad.

Pop?

Yep, my bad. Got caught up last night in some work, didnt have time to post. Coming in a few

Total party kill?

Can someone point me to the ATK stuff in the rules? I'm a bit confused by what's going on in the combat, except that we are in trouble.

Sure could use a cleric right about now. . .

Never mind. Think I figured it out. Bingo! Hope you're feeling lucky tonight!

That was a lucky crit <.< yall got this

And technically, Norn is at -13 with 14 con. I just dont think I can make that stabilize check heh.

Well... Yes, we're in trouble. Where's our cleric when we need him...?

@Kaeso: www.d20pfsrd.com/gamemastering/combat If you want to look up anything. ;)

@Nel: Er, just trying to save your character, um, are you sure about what Kressle does? I mean, I get that she has Quickdraw, but those two attacks at +6 each...? Can't be Cleave, can't be TWF, can't be BAB 6/1 - just wondering how she does it... (And starting to think this "6 player balancing" stuff is a bit much.)
But of course, you're our GM, and it's your character you're killing, so...

But I still hope someone gets over in time to stabilize him. DC 15 Heal check sounds a bit nicer than the DC 23 fort save Norn has to make...

And we're a party of 4 now, plus 1 npc. and we have no cleric. and our only character with any healing magic is the one that's down. sure would be a great time for a cleric to come wandering through the woods...

has recruitment started?

Edit: Oh wait, the pally doesn't get lay on hands until 2nd. we went into combat with no healing whatsoever? Dohhhhhh!

I think Kaeso and I each have a healing potion.

Kressle is a 3rd level Ranger in the conversion.
+3 BAB, +3 STR, +1 MWK, +1 weapon focus, -2 TWF = +6 on the axes

Elf Favored enemy, which didnt help Drisp.

HMMM, she doesn't have Quickdraw, so I guess technically she could only pull one handaxe out?

To be fair we will say she only hit me once then, with the crit axe. so im at only -5 or so.

and the not smiting was my fault. It didn't feel right to kill the main villain with the GM npc person... maybe I should have!

recruitment thread here, input welcome here or PM me for applicants.

I think Kaeso and I each have a healing potion.

So does Bingo, which is his next action.

Ahkay, I didn't get that she pulls out two axes.... I guess she can pull out both (with one move action thanks to TWF) but only attack once. *phew*

Nice pour-your-next-friend-a-potion life-saving action, Bingo and Dris!

technically a move to pull potion out, and its a full-round action to pour the potion in someone else's throat, but... *handwaving*

Looking for opinions on these applicants:

Tristan

Benton

PM me if you want.

If we live through this, that last ATK roll might mark an inflection point in my character. To fail so utterly after a prayer. . .

Bingo hurries to where he can menace Kressle from the rear.

*giggle*

quick fix on last round, Norn is still down, as Drispeera had to get up and get over on her turn, so here is his stabilize.

1d20 + 2 - 5 ⇒ (18) + 2 - 5 = 15

Stable now. Drisp, you are still next him when you get your turn.

Map updated

Tristan seems like he can't decide wether he wants to be 'Tristan Orlovsky' or 'Trisan Orvlosky' ;)

Edit: Sent you my vote.

What would it do to Kaeso's psyche I wonder, if the gods were deaf to his pleas, but after one night with Drispeera he started rolling 20's? Not that there are guarantees mind you. But Bingo's sneaking *appears* to have become more proficient.

I have also submitted my vote to DM Nel. I also considered a later applicant Hermia.

A few more applicants today. They worked out the crunch, but not very much if any backstory. :(

3 of you emailed me and all like the same person, so I think I will contact them. I liked the same applicant too.

Howdy everybody! I'll be your goodly healbot and hopefully won't be too horrid on monster lore, either.

Not optimized for spell castin' with this archetype unfortunately.

Is the Fey Foundling feat okay, or would you like me to exchange it?

Welcome to the danger zone. :)

Drispeera already has the feat so I think is ok.

And welcome!

So I'll be stumbling in after the bandit encounter? Conveniently found tied up so as to alleviate suspicion of my character, perhaps?

Oh it will not be that easy for them :) they wish

So the paizo guys finally were able to transfer the campaign over! So I'll be editing the stuff later to get the links to the resources there

So it's officially your thread now? Yay, congrats. ;)

I'm definitely looking forward to see how you introduce Hermia to the group...

Yeah, Hermia stumbling out of the woods saying, "Hey, do you guys need a hand?" woulda been too easy.

Welcome Hermia!

And Congrats GM Nel for finally making this forum your own. (And that explains why my shortcut didn't work for this page anymore...)

For Hermia as well as the rest, a link to the maps and resources I put up:

Link to Flickr

I will also post this in the campaign info thread.

Hi Hermia!

I hope you are bringing good dice rolls with you.

Welcome!

sorry about the long encounter. Thankfully those are few and far between in Kingmaker. I have a few ideas to streamline them a bit more in the future as well.

Oh, don't worry. If we improve our tactical cooperation a bit, we will be faster next time.

By the way, if I'm posting too quickly, let me know. My real life situation lets me check and post pretty often, most days. I don't mean to rush everyone.

has anyone ever complained to too much posting? :) I do it too though. Some will say I check the boards TOO MUCH

Nah, I'm totally psyched about it. I love that we post a lot here. I'm in another PbP, we're in combat, and we've got two guys that only post once a week. AArrrgh!

We should give time for players who post with decent frequency to get their actions in, though. Otherwise uber-frequent posters make assumptions about what everyone else is doing. And we might end up back tracking when, for example, Drispeera says... Yeah, but I didn't do any of that, I didn't have that discussion with you, because I was doing something else completely way over there.... ;)

And bingo's 2nd healing potion dropped to the ground, btw, because Drispeera, still injured, was making a beeline back to the campsite.

And a small aside, a difference that makes no difference.... But to reiterate for the third time: the glowing purple bandit that has been running away has -20 TO STEALTH.

Anyhoo carry on! I love that this is such an active board.

Yeah, I know. It's still the same if you can't see the light at all like if he is crazy far away. Survival was what they needed to find the dude in the forest since he had a head start. Once Kaeso found him though, it would be hard to hide. Didnt need to though, since he one-shotted him. (he hit something for once!)

*cackling with glee, perhaps a bit too hysterically to seem mentally stable*

Yeah, everything's fine. There isn't much I could've done anyway.

Eep, seems like a cruddy thing to join and have plans with family for the weekend. I should have internet access and be able to post once a day, though.

I'll be back on Monday, however.

I've got a conference myself this weekend, thurs nite - mon nite. I should be able to check in at the end of each day. But if it's slowing things down, the GM can go ahead and play her. She saved one sleep spell as back up, and she still has darkness on tap.

And I leave for the motherland (England) Saturday, and will be back next Friday. I should still be posting daily, but the hours might be off :)

I'm going home to Norway for an extended visit on the 14th, and might also be slow and on a different time as I adjust to jet lag and there being light for 20 hours a day.

The hours will actually be quite right for me. :P

Well, did you all get lost on your trips?

Nah, had internet for like an hour and a half each day, stretching it, in the morning.

I'm just waiting to see what everyone wants to do. I think going back to oOleg is the current consensus but wanted to be sure.

Nothing much happens on the weekends, usually.
