Cool. I'm also going to follow Arasmes' suggestion and swap out the ring of protection for an amulet of natural armor if it's ok, and remove the medium tent from my equipment sheet. It weighs a ton, and I doubt that the camping in Abbadon is very good.


Female :D Check out my fetching opercles!

Both are reasonable requests, Drovya. I'll allow them.

For reference, Arasmes is revealing his face here, basically because it's something he does before working with people. After all, he doesn't want it to come as a surprise later. The comment just provided an excuse.

Which means everyone else except Rogar has seen it at least once, though likely not mucch more often than that.

You didn't want to save it for the fifth chapter as a dramatic reveal? (I swear I am not Elan.) So, I learned that rods don't fit up wrist sheathes, unless you're Bruce Lee. Also, don't eat expired yogurt. :|

Nah. Other stuff maybe, but I expect him to use his appearance on Intimidate fairly regularly, among other things. And he's already made a joke about it earlier, too. Also, the setup was irresitible.

Heh. Nothing wrong with a good sense of dramatic timing. :)

...both important life lessons, I suppose.

Rogar: You should probably deduct the 210 GP for the wands from your gold. Also, your Initiative is +4, when I think it should be +1, just FYI.


Male Dwarf Hospitaler Paladin/5

You know, I had a reason for it being +4, but for the life of me I can't remember what it was, oh well, back down to +1 it goes...


Female :D Check out my fetching opercles!

All right. Let me know when to commence the next morning.

If Petrova's cool with us glossing over the scene between her and Arasmes, and assuming Arasmes fully filled her in on what's up (and warned her that the rest of these people apparently think she's sleeping with him, and offered to make that true), we can do that right now, I think.

We can of course play through the scene (it'd even be fairly quick), but I think skipping it seems fine.


Female :D Check out my fetching opercles!

I'd like you guys to get the scene, though.

Well, Petrova should probably set the scene, since she chose the location. Once that's done, we can probably go through it pretty quick.


Female :D Check out my fetching opercles!

No problem;
I like having the players have chances to have story encounters.

Yeah, Petrova! Once we get to "The next morning...", I'll be at the College steps before everyone else, pacing like a caged animal.


AC/Touch/FF: 21/16/16; F/R/W: +6/+9/+4 Max HP 47; Current HP 47

Yikes! Sorry folks, Monday is my long day and can't really post after lunch time. Will get something up ASAP.


Female :D Check out my fetching opercles!

I don't think any of us are really upset, Petrova.
But I will commit this to memory.


Male Human (Keleshite) Inquisitor 6

And, scene.

Also, just for the record, at this point Arasmes isn't seriously flirting with Petrova so much as joking. His serious flirting is much less melodramatic and excessive. And he'd never lay a hand on her without permission, not his style, so the slapped hand is probably unnecessary. :)

Not that he'd turn her down if she started responding, mind you. It almost certainly started out serious and has sort of developed into this over time.


AC/Touch/FF: 21/16/16; F/R/W: +6/+9/+4 Max HP 47; Current HP 47

Any hint of a hand towards her would be met with the playful, yet angry-looking slap. Petrova enjoys the game immensely.


Female :D Check out my fetching opercles!

I can tell on both parts.
XDD
The prayer's anecdote on Torag's paladin made me laugh a litte.

Yeah, fun read. Thanks guys. So, shall we skip forward to the next morning?

-gasp- -wheeze- Whew, it wasn't easy holding my breath for a day without Paizo.com!


Female :D Check out my fetching opercles!

Yeah. I went to post my reply and it refused.


Male Human (Keleshite) Inquisitor 6

Yeah, I was freaking out for a minute there when I thought it was only down for me.

I used downornot.com to check, and called upon a friend who happens to be a Paizo geek and a computer geek (what are the chances?) to confirm. Paizo's FB page was also providing some funny updates on what was going on.


Male Human (Keleshite) Inquisitor 6

Yeah, the site I checked said it was just me...so I was more than a bit worried it'd seem like I was flaking out on people. :(

At least it seems to be fixed now. Or it is for me, anyway. :)

On another subject entirely: Elusive Trout, how many Wands of Undetectable Alignment does Tikhade provide? Are we talking two, three, or what? It seems relevant.


Female :D Check out my fetching opercles!

Oh, yes. Yes it is.
Three, in this case.

Arasmes--there is indeed another site that lies like a filthy liar and states that it is 'just you'. However, downornot.com was truthful and virtuous.


Male Human (Keleshite) Inquisitor 6

Totally random proofreading thing I noticed:

Petrova's AC lists her with +1 studded leather armor, her inventory indicates a +1 Mithril Chain Shirt, as do her expenses. So, in total, her AC should, I believe be a point higher.

They do indeed. Pathfinder Chronicles: The Great Beyond. It's 3.5 not Pathfinder, system-wise, but then it contains very little in the way of systems.

It's probably not necessary for this game, though. I mean, it's got four pages on Abbadon plus a half-page map, and at least most of the areas described are in both it and the Book of the Damned vol. 3. So you'd be getting the map, which is handy, but not needed per se.

If we are emulating traders, I have a thought: we need something to cover up Rogar a bit; I know he just polished his plate, too! Hate to smear bootblack all over it. A cloak is easy enough. Some fake manacles and we can pretend he's a prisoner (a bit smaller than a Wookie).

Not to say that the rest of us look like daemons, but a paladin sticks out.


Male Half Elf Rogue 8 (HP 51/51; AC 23/15/18; F+6, R+14, W+5 (+2 trap, enchant, fear), Init +5, Per +13 (+4 trap))

And would a Paladin disguising his alignment break his Code of Ethics? Hadn't thought about that one either.

They have it on their spell list, so I think that's a definitive 'No.' :)

As for disguising his Plate...Arasmes wears Plate, too. As do some Antipaladins. Plate isn't suspicious on it's own...unless Rogar's is wrought with symbols of his god or somesuch. That might be problematic.

Though if we need it, Arasmes actually has 10 sets of manacles on his person (two of them Masterwork).

I always figured Antipaladin plate was black and jagged, but yeah. No one would believe a manacled paladin would be kept in plate and allowed to keep armor, though; we would have disarmed him and divvied up the loot. Maybe just a cloak.

Oops, in bumping up my Intelligence, I get an extra language. Abyssal seems apropos (and I was incorrect in getting Aklo, darn HP Lovecraft). Hope that's ok with you, Trout!


AC/Touch/FF: 21/16/16; F/R/W: +6/+9/+4 Max HP 47; Current HP 47

Thanks for the catch, Arasmes. She originally had studded leather but I upped it to the mithral chain shirt per somebody's suggestion for somebody else, but I trade sense for her as well. She needs all the AC she can get.


Female :D Check out my fetching opercles!

It's fine, but I hadn't thought that Rogar would be wearing marked plate armor.
I assumed it was standard issue with a holy symbol detached.
Also, covering up one's holy symbol when on a mission like this is perfectly allowed. Defiling one's holy symbol is still a crime, but just hiding it to perform an act for the greater good is acceptable.

Shouldn't be a problem.


Male Human (Keleshite) Inquisitor 6

To be clear, Arasmes only needs to point the wand at someone to use it, so no touching or passing is needed.


Female :D Check out my fetching opercles!

I feel bad that Rogar has gotten little to no face time.


Male Dwarf Hospitaler Paladin/5

Hmmmm, I'm beginning to suspect that I'll just drag the game down. I live in Australia, and am not always free to post much more then once or twice a day, but in the time I'm away the thread jumps forwards 20-30 posts.

Don't get me wrong, it's great that you've got an active group, but perhaps I'm not the best person for it.

I had thought of my holy symbom as hanging off a chain around his neck, as apposed to wraught into his armor (Although, that would be cool ;))


Female :D Check out my fetching opercles!

I don't have any problem with your lack of posting. I just worry that you feel cheated out of a better gaming experience. I mean, I'm in another supposedly active campaign and even the most active players have posted maybe twice since I started this campaign.

Everything is relative, and you post when you're able.
But are you having fun is the real question.


Male Dwarf Hospitaler Paladin/5

I love the concept, and if you're OK with slightly less frequent (but still regular) posts then I'm happy to keep going.


Male Half Elf Rogue 8 (HP 51/51; AC 23/15/18; F+6, R+14, W+5 (+2 trap, enchant, fear), Init +5, Per +13 (+4 trap))

I also seem to be a less frequent poster. I usually only check the boards at the 6's. :) Noon, 6 PM, Midnight, and whenever I wake up. Some of my games have died down to 1 post a day by anyone at all. Others are 10 to 12 new posts everytime I check. Posting will slow over time, but if we need to, I find it easy to just call a halt in the gaming thread until everyone has caught up.

I don't think any game is expected to be more than once or twice a day post, eh? When we run into combat, we'll all have to wait in order of initiative anyhow. It should be fine, Rogar, and I think you should stay. When you aren't posting, I just imagine you standing there looking like your avatar. :)


Male Human (Keleshite) Inquisitor 6

Yeah, I just imagine him as a Dwarf of few words. Which seems appropriate somehow.

Add me as another fan of our strong, silent dwarven compatriot. In other news, Drovya is kind of a jerk. Please let me know if it gets to be too much. Role-playing a low charisma can be tricky.

No worries, Drovya; a prickly lot of characters makes it more interesting.

Marching order, Companions of the Wayfinder? I'd say "Bladies first", but evil can hit us from any side. :) How about at least Rogar up front as he has the slowest move rate AND a blade? We can figure it out from there.
