GM Woran's Rise of the Runelords

Game Master Woran

If I have BigNorseWolf, Reblade and Ascalaphus + Paul, I have a party of four, which is a legal party :)

BigNorseWolf, would you be OK with Everflame?

Would you consider it unsporting if I decanted a fresh L2 using the Assault on Absalom boon?

Not at all. Getting a few lvl2 characters in is even better, as the module assumes you lvl up halfway, which doesnt happen in PFS.

Everflames fine. I have buckets of level 2s i'll fill in as needed

So should I get to rolling up something for this other game?

Yessssssssssssssssss join us.

I've put up a discussion thread here so people can get their characters sorted out.

You are a bad freaking influence!

(Tries to be pissed, forgets, goes off to make characters.)

Aw, thanks! I try to do my best :P

I currently have 38 PFS characters, 5 SFS characters, and Dayo.

So, yes, it's an addictive habit =P

once kitsune came out i was up to a pack a day...

*ow ow ow sorry ow ow ow couldn't resist ow ow ow...*

Kwinten is joining us too for Everflame (he needs to get more characters out of the low lvl rut). So we'll have a party of 5.
Feel free to dot in on the discussion thread. If you have multiple options, you can list them there and we can start building a party.

Its dinner time now. Ill update Rise after food. Because food.

Guys, I'm not bossing everyone around too much with battlefield positions am I? I like to keep a bit of tempo in but I'll lay off if I'm being annoying.

No, in this phase of things, I feel like it's fine, keeps things moving. As long as it's back to everyone-in-their-own-driver-seat once initiative drops, right?

I just figured it was a character trait of a young, Wis 07 elf.

OOC we're all wanting things to move along quickly just the same.

I have noticed an odd phenomenon from other PbPs, though, including one I'm in currently, where players and sometimes GMs interpret the passage of real life time to be observable in game.

So, like, the GM of my other PbP has NPCs react with agitation that people are just "standing around staring at each other" while the players are posting an OOC conversation with each other.

Yeah, I'm not going to run your combats for you, no worries :)

But I try to set people up so we'll be in a convenient formation when they start. Clear firing lines, room to 5ft step into a flurry, starting in cover and all that.

Something to play with when we're in a slightly roomier dungeon: I have the Open/Close cantrip. It's wonderful for doors we suspect are trapped, or contain enemies waiting in ambush behind them.

I appreciated it because I was at work for the past 9 hours, so I wasn't always able to keep right on top of checking the map end this thread. So that worked out well for me, anyway.

Speaking of 5ft steps, I feel like I should point out that since I took it outslug style as my feat for this level, I plan on taking those steps very often. Just be aware of that if it looks like I'm aimlessly shuffling around the fight. :-)

I'll admit half of this plan is to see the goblins sing who let the dogs out.

That would be something. But maybe it's something better saved for after we've ambushed the boss and are cleaning up?

Let me know when you eventually have a plan.
I can enjoy reading your bickering for hours :)

I just realized I never actually voiced an opinion about which way to go. /oops

FWIW, my gut is to try east, but either way is fine with me.

We're heading east.

We can bicker and die at the same time.

"It can be two things!"

We're heading east.

We can bicker and die at the same time.

And by east you mean all the way down the small hallway to the area marked blue? Or some other door? You can mark the door that you want with an arrow to make it more clear.

your other east....

Added arrow. Thats the doors that do NOT have nails correct?

SNowflake, do you want to be closer to the front? I don't know if you're doing the protect the healer thing but you also multiclassed beatstick so...

Those doors were already open? That is why I removed the 'covering'.

Let me explain the way I tend to position people. Maybe other people want something different?

* The primary melee people are positioned to be up front. I try to put Oskar in a position so he has a good chance of 5ft stepping into a flurry position.

* I"m a secondary melee combatant and I now have Precise Shot so I can do more ploinking (acid splash +5 touch/1d3+2 in Point Blank range). I try to put myself down so I have cover but also have a clear line of fire. When in doubt I'll stand back farther but keep the line of fire clear. On hairy battlefields I can raise Shield for extra AC.

* Justin can play with a crossbow but mostly he needs to be safe from immediate melee.

* Vy is our only healer so he tends to end up in a safe spot. I could give him a bit more room to beatstick though, and now that we're through the thorns he's less vulnerable.

Those doors were already open? That is why I removed the 'covering'.

So I've moved everyone to open the next set of doors.

That all sounds like some pretty solid reasoning, thanks for the explanation.

On a completely unrelated note could one of you guys PM me? I want to see what a private message notification looks like in the new website format.

I send you one

Holy cow, it's like stealth messaging. I can't see a damn thing on that page that indicates I have a new incoming PM. This is not good.

I really dislike that hyperlinks aren't visible.

I like how the forum is waaaaaaaaaaay faster now. But there are some... layout issues.

I really dislike that hyperlinks aren't visible.

The text color/hyperlink thing seems to be resolved...

I now return to my regularly scheduled life.

Wow, text got big all of a sudden.

still mad i couldnt get a katar that fit. Need to get a place where i can get my forged in flame on and learn to do that...

Bad owl! You broke the page. And to think we're cousins =\

This weekend is my first con as a Venture-Captain! I am nervous!
There probably wont be any posts from me from friday to sunday. Possible also not thursday/monday depending on the last minute rush/con crud.

I am similarly GMing a PbP, and am finding myself quite occupied.

Luckily it hasn't gotten "incestuous", yet...

*goes over to your profile to sneak peak*

Given the pace of PbP, combined with the length of an AP, and assuming we go until the end, Dayo will probably be the last Pathfinder 1E character I ever play ^_^

Well we wrapped up our convention today. It was a big success :D

Lots of fun was had, things went pretty smoothly. In terms of effort/stress/frustrations vs. good play, it went extremely well.

and Woran hasn't killed anyone

So. Tired.
