New to PbP, let me know if I do anything wrong. Also this cleric is a cleric of the Lantern King and is a little crazy, let me know if you want me to tone it down, although I will usually include either an OOC summary of what he is saying (if it means anything at all) or a description of his actions that should allow you to figure out what he is doing.

He will not be lvl 3 until saturdays' game then I will be ready and raring to go!

I will have my languages/equipment sorted out by then too!

PS how do you put your character info in like you guys have?

Click me to find out.

Aeon. We're up and running now. Do you want to run him at level 2 or play a pregen?

Whichever character you decide to bring is locked for the duration of the scenario and not available for play in other games.

We have a couple of new players to the boards in this game. Yay!! Here's a couple of places to look for information on how to format you sheet, headers etc.

Getting Ready for PFS on the Boards

PainLord's Guide to PbP

If you need help formatting your text. Look below where it says "How to format your text". It will also show you how to format for rolling in the boards.

Of course The Worlds Most Interesting GM has great information in his profile on how to set things up.

Let us know if you have any questions.

Wow, again I didn't get any notifications that there were new posts in the previous discussion thread! I have been late to the party the last two scenarios, very sorry about that.

I have not yet fully updated Prothero's alias, may not be able to until tomorrow, but he didn't level up so there won't be any major changes.

My character would NOT survive as it is. so I guess I'll have to play a pregen. (Lvl 2 tank with a buncha lvl 4/5s?)

One more game and he would be able to survive WAY more easily jumping from a 21 ac to a 27(Via the feat Shrug on+shield.) Which was why I set my availability to start to sunday.

But If we need to start now I'll look at the pregens. lvl 4 pregen?

Fillion: Yes level 4 pregen. Pick your poison.

Prothero: I was about to PM you. Good to see you made it.

I'm shooting to get us wrapped up by the start of Outpost, March 3, which gives us about six weeks to tromp through the frozen North.

I'll write up a proper post when I get off of work, but Carina does know Hallit, along with 10 other languages.

You know what I've been forgetting my Blessing of the Faithful ability: As a standard action, the ecclesitheurge can bless one ally within close range (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels). A blessed ally gains a +2 sacred or profane bonus (depending on whether the ecclesitheurge channels positive or negative energy) on attack rolls, skill checks, ability checks, or saving throws or to AC until the ecclesitheurge’s next turn.

So basically add 2 (sacred) to all of your characters checks while we are out of combat because Ailean is shining his holy lantern from the lantern king on you.

I'll be using my lvl 5 kinetic knight. adding/ updating it and will post tonight.

If we have to make will saves, someone please remind me that I have the Samurais' Resolve ability as a lvl 3 Samurai. Basically I can use these two.

Determined: As a standard action, the samurai can spend one use of his resolve to remove the fatigued, shaken, or sickened condition. If the samurai is at least 8th level, he can alternatively remove the exhausted, frightened, nauseated, or staggered condition. If the condition has a duration longer than 1 hour or is permanent, this ability removes the condition for 1 hour, at which time the condition returns.

Resolute: Whenever the samurai is required to make a Fortitude or Will save, he can spend one use of his resolve as an immediate action to roll twice and take the better result. He must decide to use this ability before he rolls the saving throw.

@GM_CariMac my character has an immediate action response to being attacked: Adoration (Su): As an immediate action, you can attempt to thwart a melee or ranged attack that targets you. This ability functions as sanctuary, but only against one individual attack. You must use the ability after the attack is declared but before the roll is made. The creature attacking you receives a Will save to negate this effect. If a creature has more than one attack, this ability only affects one of the attacks. You can use the ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier. This is a mind-affecting effect.

I'm not sure how to use this in PbP other than telling you to roll a spoiler will save when you attack my character and when he has an immediate action available. The DC is 17 Will.

GM - would you mind marking the game for part 2 of this series inactive, so it no longer shows up on our campaigns page?

Thanks

Edit: also just took a look at my chronicle for part 2, and you've given me slow track gold and prestige (which is correct), but XP for normal progression. Would you mind correcting the chronicle so it only gives 1/2 xp? And I guess while I'm at it, I'll make a Day Job roll:

Craft (bows): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21

Sorry to request all the remedial bookkeeping, comes from my having not received notifications in the discussion thread so I missed the conversation about chronicles.

I don't mind Prothero. I'll get it fixed tomorrow and uploaded. I'll also mark Part 2 inactive.

Sorry about no posts yesterday. I had company that was visiting late into the evening yesterday.

Prothero here's the folder with the updated chronicle sheet.

Prothero here's the folder with the updated chronicle sheet.

Great, thanks!

For our new to PbP players, you can always find the link to the map at the top of the page, and it's in my Alias header. That makes it easier than having to link the map in every battle post.

Grainne you can add an avatar picture to your profile if you would like. I chose an Undine from the internet for your token on the current map.

Go to my account, log in and edit the alias. You can choose the avatar there.

SO. NEW QUESTION THEN. Do we see the big scary monster on the map to the left of the party?

Also, how do I get a picture for my pbp? I can't seem to find that option.

When you create a character there is a button just below where you enter the character's name. You can get there as described above (via the edit option).

"Pick my picture. It is the best, and if we all look the same it will cut down on confusion." ;)

Thank you. and nevermind on Q1. I noticed the second page of the postings.

DM: Is the wolverine within 15 feet of me?

I'm not sure exactly what you're asking about the picture, but I think you want to get a picture below your name like the rest of us have. To do that, here's what you do:

Go to the top of the page (should work from any page on the Paizo site) and click 'My Account'. Log in with name and password.

Scroll down to the box where it says 'Organized Play' towards the bottom of the page, and click on the button that says 'Make Changes'.

Assuming you've got registered PFS characters, you'll see a list of them. To the right of the list, each character has a button that says 'Edit' - click that button.

On the Edit screen, you'll see 'Character Image' and a button that says 'Change' - click that. It will open up a screen with many avatars, and some ways to filter them. Find one you like and select it.

You'll be back on the Edit screen for that character - scroll down to the bottom, click 'Submit Changes' and you'll have a picture for your character.

Prothero yeah I found it. I don't know why I missed it before... XD

DM: Is the wolverine within 15 feet of me?

If you haven't moved the 5 foot step on the map, yes it is within 15 feet. If you have already moved, it's 20.

Did not realize I could move my image. moved it now.

@GM_CariMac learned that wearing armor you aren't proficient with makes the ACP apply to initiative checks. My life Oracle has a -16 initiative value now that I know that; oozes were faster than me in a recent irl game lol.

Wow That's amazing.

My life Oracle has a -16 initiative value

WOW. Imagine the day he actually goes first on a lucky roll XD

@zer0darkfire

No yeah, I like your character. Grace is just unsure if he has a marble or 6 missing or if something is being lost in translation from his original language.

Thanks, just making sure. I imagine he would be annoying to certain types of players, glad you're having fun with him!

That confusion wall is NASTY work. And if we work together I can lock someone dead center in it. That entangling infusion I did will entangle the first failure, and lock them to the floor on the second failure for a full minute. And yes Ailean, yellow snow is NOT lemon flavored.

Also, what Carina DOESN'T know is Grace can create water at will so she has just 2 goblets and like 2 weeks of dried food at like all times. Now I just need to buy her a cooking set... and teach her to COOK...

DM: Are the tracks easy to follow? Or should we make a Survival check?

If we have the choice, I feel we should push on to catch up ASAP, unless we have to rest for the night. No need for anyone to freeze to death...>>

Other than making saves to not be fatigued from not resting, I don't see why we can't continue on through the night, nothing says I can't pray while walking as long as I'm not thrown into a stressful situation it should be fine. Plus some of you have darkvision and I've got a ton of light sources anyway. Obviously Ailean will continue to pass out endure elements to the people that need it (I'll mark off my wand once we finish).

If we face a battle before then and I end up gaining burn,, we will need to rest for me to alleviate it. each point of burn will cut my hp by 5 so I have to REALLY micro manage it. The only reason I'm a 45 is because my con is at an odd number and I gain one stat point to a physical stat when I take burn, which I MUST do in the morning to attune my shield and use my defensive power.

I really need to buy a belt of mighty con after this. boost my HP up to 50.

I just moved today, so I have no internet connection. I cannot look at the map to see what is going on so far and probably will not have internet for the next few days or so.

so in the meantime can someone move me on the map for me?

Also,

GM: from what we can see, do they look similar to the man We rescued?

Yes they look similar to the man you rescued.

Since it will not let me edit my post, I character also takes one point of burn, 5 points of unhealing nonlethal, increasing her ac to 24 for one round, 23 thereafter.

Rough day to day. Post incoming tomorrow.

This is a note for all the games I'm currently in:

I will be on a cruise from Feb. 4th until Feb 9th. I will not have any real internet access during this time, including my phone, and as such will be unable to post for the duration of my trip.

Hope your cruise goes SWIMMINGLY~!

These poor warriors are just having thier asses HANDED to them. They are lucky we are playing nice or they might not have woken up from this later, black eyes and all. XD

Sorry for the slow posts. I had an incredibly busy weekend, and a reminder from my body that I'm not 20 anymore. Tubing down snowy mountain hills takes it out of you.

At least it wasn't the tree that told you! XD

@Grainne: Cruelty is a feat from Inner Sea Gods, that makes Zero happy (+2 to attack and damage for 1 round) when he bleeds or KOs people. Those who've been in the prior two parts with him may have realized he's a closet Kuthite. That is to say, he won't just come out and say it, but will if one was to get a hunch and ask him.

Worship of an evil deity plus a Vow of Truth probably wasn't the best combination, but I liked the idea. Perhaps we'll see how everyone else feels about it.

@Zer0, well if you played with my Sarenrite cleric, you'd have an issue if you also had light sensitivity, which isn't likely to randomly happen. He does have issues with people that worship CE deities though, because they get blasted by his AoE channels as if they were undead.

That said, Ailean doesn't care who other people worship as long as he gets to cause his fun in the name of the Lantern King.

I HATE THAT TYPING FOR TOO LONG RESETS YOUR WHOLE POST!!!!!
