OK I need a handful of things from y'all.
PFS Number (PM me if you would rather).
Faction.
Please put perception and AC plus anything else I might have to look up frequently into the sex/race slots of the character's profile.
Define your characters default attack option (for when I need to DMPC).

A handful of dice for later when timing is an issue. These may or may not be used. Be sure to include any special circumstances (darkvision or loyalty trait for example)
This should be set up for a reply. Make sure to add the appropriate modifier and the final closed bracket (])

I'm having a small issue at work, being put on an overnight shift for a week starting now. I may be a little lax in posting, but more likely I will just be posting at different hours. Please, feel free to roll or act for me if you are waiting on me.

PFS ID: 56335-1

Toren's a non-violent kind of guy...so trips are his first choice. If he's hurt or if he sees his allies being hurt badly he will attack for lethal.

He also like to use Total Defense with his Tower Shield to provide a solid wall (and possibly soft cover if the GM rules it).

attack of opportunity(trip): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
attack of opportunity(attack): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

Apologies for lag - zoom, and off to the races :)

Shadow Lodge

Angruf is a younger son of the Berwuerz clan. His older brothers are in honorable professions such as mining and smithing. Angruf was always drawn more to the Temple, the tales, the reverence of the ancestors and the gods. He is devoted to the service of the clans and society (drawn broadly) by applying the wisdom of the Temples to the world as it is.

@Jak - OK, I have to admit being slow on the uptake. Well done, O Mighty Giant Slayer.

So you are getting an idea of who and what this character is, so let me take a moment and ask you a question. Since the Shadow Lodge is ending this year, I can see him going into two factions. Julian would probably want to go into the Szcarni, and use Maul as a leg breaker, where as Maul would probably want to go into the Silver Crusade. Which do you think would be the more interesting and roleplay heavy choice?

I think I have fixed the editing options of the map. Someone else will have to test it to be sure. It is listed under my avi's name, but I also put a link in the top of the campaign tab. Thanks for the suggestion DaWay.

Well since you give us Julien (with M as a leg breaker) and you gave us Maul (with...) I think you already have more interest in the first option then the second. :)

I can edit it, which I couldn't before.

also confirm map edit

A note about actions while you are waiting for others. When you are waiting for everyone to act, but nothing to add let me know your are still checking in. Just bump the discussion thread here or say/do something in character in the game thread. That way I know you are making the daily checks.

PbP can have a lot of people waiting for other people who often are waiting for them. At the table one can make eye-contact or sometihng but not an option here.

On a related note if you are unable to make the regular posts, please let me know ahead of time (as Beckett did-thanks :)

bump....but seriously, can we get a move on we have been waiting a week to get to the first encounter. There is only so much I can post, even with two personalities

Guard duty (should) be over, so I can post regularly again. I need to catch up a bit and I'll jump back in.

Welcome back Julien, glad you arrived safely. Where did you move to? from?

GM rolls

From the Washington DC area of Virginia to The other side of the Puget Sound from Seattle, Washington

From the Washington DC area of Virginia to The other side of the Puget Sound from Seattle, Washington

Funny, I used to go to school in DC and now I live in Seattle. Small world.

If you are into irish music my sister invites ust to the Galway Bay Irish festival every year. She does a lot of clamming in your 'area' (near Ocean Shores). :)

My family is looking to explore the area so suggestions are welcome. I am planning on attending Paizocon this year if anyone else is going.

Unfortunately unable to make this years (first one I have missed :) as my parents 50th anniversary are the same weekend. Be there next year though (and every year :)

I would highly recommend going to any of the local restaurants (not chain) in Port Angeles. About 20 miles further north and west is a little beach/campsite place called Crescent Beach that I used to go to with my brother to camp/surf/etc.

Won't be able to camp in the near future due to my one year old daughter but after we take care of the restaurants in port orchard we will venture north

I'm going to be in the field a lot of tomorrow, so I probably will not be able to post much until Sat.

One-year-olds love camping. It's all dirt and pooping outside and running around naked. And that's the adults. :)

** Shouldn't the Julian have had cover from the madman? I applied the penalty when I attacked the snake. Should I do so if I attack it again from the same position? **

Technically the cover gives Julien a +4 to AC not the madman a -4 to hit. Either way 19 is enough to get the AC 14 (cover: 18). Or am I doing it wrong?

Ah. Good enough.

PVP?
Nope.
Lest anyone wonders what has happened to Toren (though I hope no-one has missed it). The Mists of Mwangi are driving him mad. Once in combat he will stay in combat until he makes the appropriate save. Technically he should be GMPC, but on a PbP sitting around the table watching everyone else play gets amplified by the slower process.

Thanks Toren for playing up the mad gibberish :)

Just read this cool news. :)

Sort of a follow up to Curaigh's revelation, . . .

I have sent them a PM in regards to some of the things I was going to present to Paizo about PbP's, hoping o expand them and possibly even get some convention statues boons here and there. If anyone is interested, I'll let you know what I hear.

Hehehehehe...this is FUN!

I don't want to derail the game's thread too much, but if anyone has any questions, or would like for me to talk to Joseph about something else, any new ideas, suggestions, etc. . . PM me and I will see what I can do. It would also be cool to know who is interested in (possibly) helping/contributing to this IF, (-> if <-) he does want to do anything, so again, if you would like to DM, or to help out in some way, please PM me. <click on my avatar, it ill open a new screen, and near the top you will see a small, blue option that says "send a private message">

I'll be AFK for the holiday for parts. Thursday through Monday, though will still be checking in through my phone. Any one else?

I should be mostly available - no travel plans for me.

I'll be in the field tomorrow, but otherwise I should be good.

Enjoy, though. :)

I'll be as available as possible on the 4th. The rest of the week I'll be here though :)

Julien, thanks for expressing a concern, I hope to be completely approachable in that regard. I was also hoping to head off those questions earlier with this post. :)

A note about non-lethal damage:
When you take damage most folks subtract it from their max hp (10 hp -3 dmg = 7 hp.) Non-lethal is added 0 +3 = 3 NLdmg. It is not until there is more non-lethal damage than hp that a person falls unconscious. So if you make a few good hits first you can go for the subdual later.

I, for one, think the GM's handling of Teron's unfortunate condition is quite good. I don't regard it as PvP, so much as 'GM-directed PvP'.

And Toren's been doing a bang-up job with running his character as a demented NPC, while relieving the GM of the need to run another NPC.

I agree. :)

Yes. The random gibberish has been great.

I do kind of wish it had been someone else though.
Someone we could take down a little more easily. :)

The only thing I can think of to do is to stack Aid Anothers to hit him. Especially when we're going for that last non-lethal attack.

It would be really sad if he managed to kill us all.

double agree. :)

His string of good rolls and your bad rolls HAVE to end.

But Aid Another and Grapple/Pinning could work. Anyone able to feint?

Well, I'm not going to try to Grapple or Disarm. The size thing works against me.
I'll try to Aid anyone who does, though.

Disarm, then knock out seems the best plan to me. In the hopes that the mist will leave him like it did the other guy and then he'll be sane again.
If he just makes his save, he'll be a risk in the next fight.

After I wrote my post I thought about disarm. Might be the best approach.

You'd need to roll a 13 (based on your CMB) to grapple Toren. I kind of wish I hadn't now, but his whole build was centered around the idea of this veteran phalanx warrior, hard to hit and hard to grapple/trip.

Nah. It's a cool idea and a good character. Just work on those Will saves, alright?
