Sorry, GM. Grabbed Handle Animal, Intimidate, Perception, Ride, and Sense Motive. Grabbed +1/4 banner bonus as my FCB.

So, it's coming into summer here in South Australia, and that means it's fire season. We've had several Catastrophic danger levels this month. (The scale is Low - Moderate - High - Very High - Severe - Extreme - Catastrophic, because Australia does not f&%* around.)
Today, we had a fire start out near my place of employment, which is in a rural area. Even though the wind was blowing away from us, we evacuated the whole site just to play it safe. And because it's a primary school, that resulted in 350 terrified kids and stressed teachers being kept indoors and taking drink and toilet breaks in pairs, while every member of leadership and support staff rang the parents of every child to evacuate them. I'm home now, and all the main roads near me have been closed off. I'm safe, but shaken, and it's made me realize that there may well come a time when I'm affected by a fire and won't be able to get online and let everyone know. If that happens, I'll try to get a real-life friend with a Paizo account to spread the word.
Jens Varmodsson |
Yep, safety first. Taking the steps to make sure I'll be safe. In an emergency situation, I'm likely to be texting loved ones to tell them I'm safe; it'll take only a minute to ask a mate to spread the word for me.
Glad to hear the game will be moving again soon.

Just when I was starting to really recover from my breakup, my beautiful spaniel Ruby-Charles died this morning. She was my first real pet, and she's left some big fuzzy boots to fill. Posting may be a bit hit-and-miss while I try to heal. Sorry to do this again so soon, but sometimes the d20 of life falls on a 1.
I'll try to post in the morning. Jens definitely has to say his piece here. Manhandling may or may not be involved.
Heinrick Stonewright |
My condolences on your loss. Any pet that has been with you for a while leaves a hole no matter what they are. :(

I just realized (re-reading the gameplay while I wait) that Tats could feasibly disappear behind Jens if she ever felt so inclined. She's over a foot shorter and probably a good half foot thinner at least. XD
I find amusement in the weirdest things sometimes.
Jens Varmodsson |
Just realized I may need a breakdown on the last half of my gameplay post.
With Combat Reflexes and 15 Dex, Jens now gets 3 attacks of opportunity per round, and can make them while flat-footed.
His Bodyguard feat means he can use those attacks of opportunity to instead Aid Another as an immediate action, giving an adjacent ally +2 to AC if he can beat an attack roll against AC 10.
The Aid Allies ability from the Order of the Dragon states that the bonus he grants from the Aid Another action is +3.
The Intercept ability of the Honor Guard archetype increases the bonus on Aid Another actions to improve AC by +1.
So: 3 times a round, he can give +4 AC to an adjacent ally. I like to imagine it's basically him just throwing his shield around and "NOPE"ing attacks. He can also do this before he acts, since he has Combat Reflexes.
Of course, GM, if the opportunity to actually damage someone comes up, he'll take the extra attack (and feel free to roll it for me). But Bodyguard gives him a good way to use his AoOs if nobody's provoking them.

For the next few days, I will be traveling. If I am holding things up, please bot me as necessary.
Jens Varmodsson |
We understand. Thanks for the heads-up! :)

Sorry I have not been online for the last couple of days.
I took a tumble, and messed up my back, putting me on strong pain killers.
Just asking that if necessary can I be botted for another couple of days.
Jens Varmodsson |
First up, I'd like to apologize for my sporadic silences. I've been working up to moving house, and the big day was today. We don't have an internet connection yet, and probably won't for several days (though we're working on it). I have a smartphone with a data plan, but 500MB doesn't go far when I'm using it for job-searching as well. However, my mother lives 5 minutes away and I'm welcome there any time, and there's a library within walking distance, so I'll be around.
Please don't write me out of the campaign, as this is temporary. I'll be here, but sporadic. If I'm holding things up, bot me. If there's something Jens would reasonably do that would help the party out of combat, have him do it if I don't get to it first - remember, he's a gruff old bastard with little patience for fools and a soft spot for young folk. His combat MO is to charge the biggest, baddest thing, commanding its attention and using his attacks of opportunity to block attacks on adjacent allies (using his AoO to add +4 to their AC, which he can do three times per round).
Heinrick Stonewright |
Nope, just the RNG seems to hate me. :(
So I make do with trying to do things that don't take rolls. :)
Jens Varmodsson |
Man, Heinrick. I thought my paladin in Kingmaker had bad luck. Yours is something else entirely!
GM Shathira |
I made some changes to the maps. I've added a Kenbres before the fall, to show you what Kenabres as the PCs knew it beforehand looked like, and covered up some of the Kenabres after the fall. It may take a little more work to figure out which direction to go, but will give a more true feeling of what Kenabres is like now. The PCs know the city and what roads *should* lead to where they want, but not what is now clear. I've done this to give you more freedom in where you want to go, rather than telling you where you go.
Jens Varmodsson |
Hey guys, I just got the internet connected. Might take me a while to get into the swing of things again, but I'm back!
Heinrick Stonewright |
I may be haphazard for the next few days. My girlfriend just wrote off her car, and she is having issues from the collision.
Will be posting from my tablet, where i can look at the maps, but cannot interact with them.

Hi, everyone.
This coming week is Spring Break at my school, and it seems like a good time to take a break from pretty much every responsibility I have, so here goes.
I've been feeling very burnt out as far as my games go, so I'm going to take roughly 10 days off, give or take a couple. I've noticed it's had an impact on most of the games I'm in, and I don't want to be a downer or the reason a game isn't successful.
Please expect me back between the 10th and 12th of April. Until then, I *may* read the threads, but will almost certainly not be posting.
Thanks, everyone!
Aest
Heinrick Stonewright |
For the next week, I will be gone fishing. I don't know if I will have net access. So please bot me as necessary.
GM's, all info should be on my profile.
Jens Varmodsson |
I'm back, folks! Vacation was pretty great, and it's time for me to kick jetlag in the butt and start posting again. Bear with me!
GM Shathira |
Sorry for that brief absence. My Mother just bought a house here in WI, moving from CA and she needed us for emergency meetings to get things finalized, (house appraisal, inspection etc). I know it's been tough over the last bit, just bear with me, lots of upheaval (mostly good :D ) on this end. (also work blocked quite a bit of what I use to manage the game! grrrr...)
Jens Varmodsson |
Happy Monday indeed! Sorry to be a pain, but can we grab a map for this? I'm having trouble visualizing it >.>
