I can't find the cost of water on the SRD...I think it is reasonable to believe that you will find a well somewhere and fill the barrels there.

I am sure you could find a huckster willing to sell you water, for a silver per gallon. He would probably slap the label 'Piduts' or 'Evian' on your barrels after he filled them for you too.

Piduts water sales. I will have to remember that. :D


HP4/11 AC15

I just trust the local feudal lord to be selling extracting rights to his stream.

Lol. Alright. Looks like we're ready subject to anyone else that needs anything.

I think that all looks good.


Working on a post but having a busy Saturday. Will have some this up by end of day.


Team, I rolled perception checks for all of you. One of you noticed something the others didn't...please check to see if you have a private message from me.

HP4/11 AC15

Ah that's awesome.


Investigator 2 | Alchemist 2 AC 16 | HP 27/27 | Fort 4/ Ref 9/ Will 3/ Init +2 | Darkvision 60' | Perception +17 |Stealth +9 |

Pretty cool!


Glad you guys enjoy it,
I've found Daz Studio to be a good player and GM tool.

And now folks have a REAL idea of how tall they are to each other.

Believe me, it shocked the first group I did it for in that players and GM could now accurately see the differences and the differences were bigger then they imagined they were.

Notice: if you plan on picking up Daz Studio for character and scene rendering best to pick one generation and stick to it otherwise it gets expensive and a number of items don't transfer to another generation well.

I Recommend either Genesis 2 or 3 for high detail and new content, though Genesis 1 is the cheaper route, but you'll have lower detail models and there will be next to no new content for it.


It is a very nice reference...thanks for that Titania. Added the link to our campaign info so that it will be accessible in the future.

I half expect them to break into a dance number.


I loaded up a battle map of the main hall.

This is not to imply that there will be a battle, although I am sure you guys can start one if you want. I just find it easier to visualize with the map up.


Height Reference Updated.

I'll be working on a group shot later today, and I may get a summer render a bit after that.


@Fenlin - Knowledge is more about what information you know than what information you can gather...

What you are wanting to do would be similar to the Rumormonger rogue talent...I would say it needs to be bluff or diplomacy.


Nice Crit roll Sarrissa!


Investigator 2 | Alchemist 2 AC 16 | HP 27/27 | Fort 4/ Ref 9/ Will 3/ Init +2 | Darkvision 60' | Perception +17 |Stealth +9 |

diplomacy: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20


Aran, Ravin, and Titania, please try to have skill checks in sometime tomorrow for the first (and possibly only) round of the skill encounter.

You guys roll high!


Inactive

We should just give up on being adventurers and start a band.


Money would probably be easy to come by. Lol.


Speaking of money - Aran just successfully completed the skill challenge. You guys had no failures. Impressive.

Titania - if you will make one more perform check...I will use that along with the encounter checks to calculate the Tips you guys earn.

Then we will move this along to the next bit.


Fenlin - your comment could still go either way depending on what facade you are wanting to wear. A true afficianado that thinks very highly of himself would probably think that the '74 is trash, not much better than tavern ale.

A more humble tradesman just starting out though might see the '74 as being at or slighly above his station. While it is not the rarest of wines, it is still rare. There are not many that can claim they have drank Fire Sylf at all.


Investigator 2 | Alchemist 2 AC 16 | HP 27/27 | Fort 4/ Ref 9/ Will 3/ Init +2 | Darkvision 60' | Perception +17 |Stealth +9 |

Then I will go with the fact that he made the effort to offer us what I assume to be the best the house has to offer.


Tone has been retconned to match. :D


Sorry for the wall of text.

Scene changes take a lot sometimes. Phew.

New map of the 2nd floor of the hereos' purse has been put in the campaign info. It doesn't really match the first floor, but that is because I am using what is available online instead of building it myself...don't have software to make it look nice...so it would just be excel line drawings. We will have some of those, but I like these better when possible.

Anyways...you're in your suite now. What do you want to do?


Investigator 2 | Alchemist 2 AC 16 | HP 27/27 | Fort 4/ Ref 9/ Will 3/ Init +2 | Darkvision 60' | Perception +17 |Stealth +9 |

I also think that we should put some "noise makers" (silverware and whatnot) or other notification system on all the windows and doors. Can we just do that, or do you need a Disable Device check?


It is pretty straight forward...you can just do it.

If someone comes and tries to overcome it I will take your expertise into account when setting the DC for the NPC.

As always, bonus points (higher DC) for good writing/roleplaying.


Everybody's heard, about the bird. Oh everbody's knows that the bird is the word.


Without any NPCs in the room you guys are on your own RP wise for the next bit. Discuss as much as you want regarding your next steps, let me know if there are any actions you want to take.

Based on the conversation I see 3 directions that your Choose Your Own Adventure can go down right now. They are not necessarily exclusive.

They include

1) Macgyver an alarm system against intruders. (No rolls needed per previous decision, just rp)

2) Go outside through the private door and try to follow the hooded figure when he leaves the in. (Perception check through the window [if desired] to make the change to a door and stairs while no one is watching...{only one person would need to make this check, but multiple can if you want}. Stealth check to sneak down the stairs and hide until hooded figure comes out...{everyone that is going on this "recon mission" will need to make this check} )

3) Go to sleep. (No rolls needed, unless you are feeling like an insomniac)

As always there is also option 4) Something entirely different that the GM does not expect.


Investigator 2 | Alchemist 2 AC 16 | HP 27/27 | Fort 4/ Ref 9/ Will 3/ Init +2 | Darkvision 60' | Perception +17 |Stealth +9 |

I am good with whatever the team decides. I can post often and don't want to start taking over or stealing thunder. That said, I want everyone to have an opportunity to post and give their two coppers worth.


Sounds like no one wants to go on a field trip with you Fenlin.

You are welcome to go by yourself, the city is generally pretty safe to wander in, although like anywhere dangers can lurk in the darkness at night, so your safety is not a gaurantee.

If not, let's set a watch schedule and your desired trap and get the game moving.


Need a little bit of information before my next post (try not to read to much into it I'm sure).

Are you guys all sleeping in the main room together, or have you split between the main and the second room since you have been given the run of both (there is only 1 king size bed in each...so I am guessing either bed sharing or sleeping bags on the floor. There are also coaches in both rooms that the shorter party members could probably make comfortable.)

What room is the person sitting up for watch staying in? Or are you roaming back and forth with some regularity.

Also, what's your favorite color?


Inactive

Sarrissa will take the couch in the larger room. If it's not bolted down, she'd try to have it moved to the north east corner in between what I believe are two windows and where the table and three chairs are.

Her favorite color is green.


Investigator 2 | Alchemist 2 AC 16 | HP 27/27 | Fort 4/ Ref 9/ Will 3/ Init +2 | Darkvision 60' | Perception +17 |Stealth +9 |

I can floor it, and I dig the dark grey


HP4/11 AC15

Raivin doesn't have a favorite color, he'll say black just to get rid of you.


Sarrissa, moving the couch is not a problem...We will have to ToM it since I have limited abilities to edit the map we are using.

Now that we are in a combat situation please try to post at least once daily if possible to keep it moving. I don't expect this encounter to last too long.


Battle map updated. At this point everyone is in the area of silence. Please keep this in mind in determining your character's actions.


I have updated the map so it is editable by all. Feel free to move your icons yourself, or I can do it when I process the round.

Fenlin, I performed your movement for you. I did only do the necessary 5ft step to bring you into melee though...If you would prefer a different position tactically please feel free to change it.

Also if it makes you feel any better, the silverware that fell from the window did make the will save to wake up easier for your party members. I had originally planned on it being a fairly difficult DC 20.


Investigator 2 | Alchemist 2 AC 16 | HP 27/27 | Fort 4/ Ref 9/ Will 3/ Init +2 | Darkvision 60' | Perception +17 |Stealth +9 |

Oh, no worries. That was in character stuff. He thinks he is pretty smart. The fact that this is happening on 'his watch' is also shamefully disconcerting for him.


Icons match forum avatars. You may need to zoom in on the image to see more clearly...there is a magnifying glass button for that function in the Google Draw toolbar.

Aran, you are in the middle of the room, a 5 ft step away from one of the hostiles. You decided to sleep on the bearskin rug because that was more comfortable than the wooden floor apparently.

Ah. Thanks. Can't edit from phone. Will have to wait til i get on computer. I'm just 5 ft stepping back next to Fen.


It has been 24 hours since NPC posts. Currently waiting for the following PC posts: Titania & Sarrissa.

In the interests of keeping combat moving as smoothly as possible please post by this time tomorrow. Otherwise your characters may be botted for 1 round.

Thank you.


A note on posting regularity.

I did not talk about this during recruitment...in part because of inexperience with PbP GMing. But let's talk a little about what kind of pace we can expect everyone to be able to manage?

For myself I would love a minimum of 1 post per day when appropriate M-F, which seems to be the standard on these forums. It will allow us to get deeper into the story within a decent timeline.

What do you guys think? How often do you find yourself with around 30 free minutes to do catch up reading and to draft a couple of sentences?


Inactive

Once a day is easily doable for me. I typically check the boards 3-4 times a day and could potentially post more, but it really just depends on how things are progressing.

^What^ she^ said^


The last couple of days have been spectacularly awful, but I think it's going to clear up within the couple of days and then I plan to do 1/day too.


Dangerous fiddling with things when you don't know what they are Fenlin. What if it had been a Wand of Fireball? Course you probably guessed, I gave you guys enough clues. :D


Investigator 2 | Alchemist 2 AC 16 | HP 27/27 | Fort 4/ Ref 9/ Will 3/ Init +2 | Darkvision 60' | Perception +17 |Stealth +9 |

Lol, wasn't trying to activate it, just get an idea of what is does. Now I know. Not killing two-thirds of the team and burning down the inn was simply a fortuitous accident...er..lucky circumstance.. benefit ...um ..bonus?


Activate Wand - DC20 UMD...congratulations!


RL has been energy draining for a good week for me, hoping it clears up and can start posting 1/day.


Cool beans! I was worrying that I had miffed you with the fizzled spell and you decided to quit without telling us.
