Woot. Glad that worked. :)

*RESEARCH: A note on researching.

The bulk of the research requires a Knowledge (history) or a Linguistics check. If you have an appropriate Craft or Profession skill we might be able to substitute that instead. When I looked at everyone's skills I did not see any Craft or Profession skills that we could use, but that may be because the type has been left out. If you think you have a relevant skill please say so soon. Otherwise 'research' comes from a straight intelligence check.

Some rooms have specific skills that can be used, in which case I will call them out for you. In the case of the library room you are currently in ANY knowledge skill is appropriate. Choose and roll your highest.

The better the check result the better the time made.

Any questions?

Hey Curaigh could you do me a favor? I'm getting myself lost and confused fairly easily here and if you could let me know when Keia's rolls fail to find anything that would help me keep track, as is I'm not sure if you just overlooked my post or if she just didn't find anything. Even just an OOC note would really help me know how to proceed.


Core Helms ! Wizards Wanted Gameday X

Sure, if that makes it easier. Kiera and Decado did not notice anything except for the large number of bookshelves filled with a large number of books on a large number of topics.


Core Helms ! Wizards Wanted Gameday X

Stunned says a person can take no actions, which I included speaking (free action). The words are out there, Piper did indeed say something--I am not trying to take it back. I was just adding a little bit of flavor so folks might notice something happened to her. As is, that round is over. We may proceed :)

harsh?:
Including free actions may be a bit harsh, but I am flexible on that. Speaking is probably ok, but then again 'stunned silence' is a cliche because its real. Drawing a weapon is a free action with quick draw, but since a stunned person drops everything, they couldn't then draw a weapon. That is my take on it anyway, and like I said, I can be flexible :)

I have spoilered this to a couple of people and realized I should state it for everyone. This stealth mission is time-sensitive. Everything is being counted in rounds. Certain actions, such as calling an eidolon or researching the books in the library take longer. When you do one of those actions, you will be kind of out of the time-frame until everyone leaves the round by round. Generally I allow at least a RL day for people to react to something so a round is often going to be a day. Fortunately this is not all in rounds. :) Kiera has started looking through the books (measured in minutes, ) while Piper Feona & Avryx are in the rounds. Sorry for not stating this sooner to reduce confusion.

Understood. I don't think your call is harsh at all, I was just needing a little guidance. I have moved on. ;-)

Also thanks for clearing up the Round-by-round, minute by minute thing too.


Core Helms ! Wizards Wanted Gameday X

One of the difficulties of PbP is the lack of body language and tone. I might have picked up on the confusion about timing earlier, had I been able to see a puzzled face. I will not be offended if you have questions. Please ask me to clarify anything :) I promise I take it with a smile!

Also I got the map fixed so you can see the room you are in currently :)

Once she is sure Piper is okay, Feona leaves off to peruse the library on her own. Corncob pipe between her teeth, she is looking for information for their mission, plus any type of lettering or runes resembling the encryption she has in her pocket.

@Piper, I may be mistaken but I believe Keia is the referenced historian, unless I missed something. Not that important just an observation.

Referenced where? There are a couple other possibilities, & I want to check context to make sure it is correct :)

The pathfinders get busy pulling tomes of the shelves, scanning indices, making notes, and cross referencing various books. Tugo finds and interesting book with a large picture on each page and the words 'A is for apple...' or something similar. Fortunately the rest of the party has much better luck and with each passing minute the information starts to accumulate and half an hour later, a small pile of organized notes sits on a central table.

The investigator and the historian pull these five facts from the multitude of notes.

This post here, followed by Piper's post;'

Piper is perplexed as to why Arvyx and Feona pulled these out. "Do any of these have anything to do with anything?"

Emphasis mine, but unless I missed something in Feona's information, which is entirely possible, I believe Keia is the Historian mentioned. Like I said it's not game breaking, just a name mix up.


Core Helms ! Wizards Wanted Gameday X

Aye, you got it correct :)

Oh dear, I would like to apologize I thought I posted this a few days ago but it either failed to go through, or I fell asleep mid post and my girlfriend took the labtop away from me. I'll get my post up now I'm so sorry.

Here's a book I'd read:
Feona Longtoes' Guide to Rolling Like a Baller on PbP. Then again, it'd probably be one sentence: have a +10 bonus in whatever you roll.


Core Helms ! Wizards Wanted Gameday X

ha! :)

Sorry for my little delay. I got away from the computer this weekend and don't regret it one bit. I do wish I could have warned you first though. :)

I will be offline and unplugged all weekend; please NPC Feona as needed.

Would it be possible to do a bullrush / or something of that kind to get piper and feona out of the swarm of papers? if so, what would be any penalties I would suffer / take?

When I was little, I got a miniature terrarium in my Frosted Flakes. You put the seeds on a bit of foam, closed the plastic lid, added water and watched as they soon sprouted and turned to grass.
When I was in grade-school, we put beans in a little plastic cup and watched as it grew into a bean plant.
When I was [insert any weekend] I battled with dandelions in the part of my yard paved with rock.

Seeds grow.

Except in the harshest of conditions (desert, arctic, plane of fire) I allow entangle to work. Even in an underground controlled-environment Library. The spell does not have a target: plant, it has an area and the plants in that area. Technically the character should have 'potted plant' or 'dandelion seeds' or at least 'beans' on their inventory, but that is not worth penalizing a player for. Not all GMs work this ruling, please expect table variance in future scenarios. :)


Core Helms ! Wizards Wanted Gameday X

Just a reminder, as of yesterday we are 2/3rd of the way through our time frame. We are not 2/3rd of the way through the scenario.

We will need to hustle after this combat. And thank you for the allowance of Entangle. I am interested in your perspective after this as I GM a weekly PFS at my local store and I have a couple of druids that play occasionally and love their Entangle spell.

A book swarm? Really? Who comes up with this crap?


Core Helms ! Wizards Wanted Gameday X

A book swarm is cool! :)


Core Helms ! Wizards Wanted Gameday X

R1 summary
Piper (17): Casts entangle
Feona (11): swats at swarm with sap
Decado (8): Bull rushes Feona out of swarm.
book swarm (2): moved over Piper, Feona, & Decado
Kiea (delays): studied a book
Tugo & Arvyx: hear the commotion and Lotti's plea for help.


Core Helms ! Wizards Wanted Gameday X

We have a little over three weeks left, and things seem to be dropping off a wee bit. I would like to get everyone a chance for the boon. PLEASE keep up with daily posts, two if you can manage. I am working on Mondays now, so I will not miss any more of them (yeah for one-day weekends :). Sundays might still be a bit of a lurk for me, but I should be on several times even if I only post once.

I will be at PaizoCon the last few days of PBP Gameday, which means we need to be at a point where I can report and prepare chronicle sheets, (I've already begun) before then.

While combat is happening in the main thread I would like to pursue the next bit here in discussion. It may cause a little bit of a problem, but I think a minute bit of retcon will be easy enough. I have the research rolls for the two rooms currently occupied by the party. I will be able to give you big text dump after the combat is finished. :) I would like to get the next 'researches' out of the way while the combat is happening. I've marked the map with the unexplored areas and you can retrace any areas you have already covered as well.
So where would you like to head next: A, B, C, D or other? Three folks build a consensus, or two and 24 hours.

Sorry to push, especially where I feel I appear to have dropped the ball. The critter might have been avoided, and I didn't want to railroad.

If noone is concerned about the boons we can continue at the current pace, but I will assume everyone wants the boon until told otherwise.

Thanks all :)

Piper really has no knowledges except Nature so she won't be doing much research. She will continue attempting to take care of the swarm for now. By the way, did Buck not attack the swarm even with the Nat 20?

Keia would vote to start with D since it's closer.

Seeing as Decado only has knowledge dungeoneering, There are only small things to discover and he will stick with the halflings in case of trouble.
