Sorry for my absence. For those who don't know, I am a teacher, and my wife is also a teacher, and we live in Kentucky. It has been a crazy few days for us, and this is the first time I've sat down at a computer since last Wednesday.
I'm originally from Kentucky, and a third generation public school teacher. Fight on!
What do we need to get this thing moving again?
I'm cool with getting one night's sleep and then laying a trap.
I'm still here and ready to take the fight to the critter!
I'll be travelling from Wednesday afternoon until Sunday morning with a group of students. I'll post when I can, but Thursday and Friday are unlikely.
Feel free to make whatever preparations you want for the trap. That should keep you busy for a day or two.
Everyone still around?
yup.
Yes
Aye-aye.
I feel like we are losing some momentum, so I think I am going to skip some of the smaller encounters and move us on to the Portal. It will take me a while to get that post together, so if anyone thinks that is a terrible idea, let me know.
I'll aim to make that post on Monday.
I'm down to get weeeeird!
Sounds good to me!
Let's get dangerous!
Thanks for your time, DoubleGold.
Gaining the following:
+1 Bab, +1 Ref and Will, the Wrath Tough talent (which lets me add my Con to damage when making a single attack), the Superior Avoidance feat, and...not sure on HP.
Also, getting +2 to Str.
+1 BAB
+1 Fort and Ref
Trivia talent
Dodge Feat
+2 Dex
Ok, I'll put the +2 to Intelligence, granting me EVEN MORE skill points. Going for 14/level right now.
Then +1 BAB, +1 Ref and Will, the Attention to Detail cogitator talent (Replacing Wis-based skill checks with Int), the Greater Battlefield Medicine M.E. talent (can Treat Deadly Wounds more often, and for injuries older than 24h) and the Additional Traits feat (Clever Wordplay and Dangerously Curious, to have UMD as a class skill and Int-based, though I'll only start using it once we do find some actual magic items).
Just levelling up my character now. Sorry, this weekend was Canada Day (basically the same as July 4th) so, uh, other things took priority :-).
For Sensitives the table says that I get an extra talent at level 3. The text says I do not. Which is correct? And is there a feat to allow one to get an extra talent (I couldn't find one but thought that I'd check)
I'm afraid there is no such feat, as talents are generally more powerful than feats. And it doesn't look like AA added any new feats.
AA did add a bunch of feats. Importantly for my character I can get extra ESP powers via a feat :-). They're hidden throughout the book, not in a section of their own
Having access to only one Sensitive talent until level 6 seems a touch depressing. Hence my hoping the table is correct :-).
Generally the table takes precedence over text, so let’s go with the table.
Yay! Many. many thanks
There is a section for feats in ESP and Volur stuff, and another past that for the general feats, which starts on page 128.
Sorry it took so long to level up. Have done so. Profile should be accurate.
Just so you know-
gained Faith (Sensitive)
Distant Viewing (L2 Esper Archetype)
Point Blank shot (L2) (going to start working on rifles a bit :-))
Precise Shot (L3)
I'm going to stick with full hit points for 3rd level. This should help deal with your limited healing ability. There is a feat in one of the new players companions that allows you to heal hit points equal to a Heal check when you use Treat Deadly Wounds.
I'm ready to go on when you guys are. I need to spend some time looking at your character updates, but we don't need to wait for that.
As soon as I find an in game rationale, Naajy is likely to take the Ritual Magic feat (if allowed) and also get some ranks into UMD. That will also somewhat address the healing issue eventually.
Do full hit points apply to Animal Companions too?
Sure.
Ah, yes, about that: I thought picking up UMD (and therefore using a feat for Additional Traits) could be justified by these first investigations of the supernatural, and I don't plan on using it until I've at least found some knowledge sources about magic. If that's not ok, I'm great with switching to another feat. I'll check that one you mentioned.
I'm loving the coincidence of the following.
A new thread just pointed out that with the recent splat book non magical healing just got WAY better.
If, of course, we can use this ability (By we I, of course, mean William :-))

Ah, Incredible Healer looks outstanding, especially with my Greater Battlefield Medicine talent allowing me to TDW several times per day. I'm short-listing it for level 5.
Now that some time has passed, I feel able to address Jazz dropping out.
Just so you understand where I am coming from:
I apologize if we are moving to slowly. If there is something I can do to move things along (at least, if that is what people want) I am happy to do it. That said, I am here for the intriguing notion of early 20th century characters thrust into a weird, pulpy situation. My main interest is in some fun character interactions with each other and with the situation. I'm happy to adapt to other people's goals, but I am personally not trying to zip through the Adventure Path.
Adventure Paths take a long time to play in PBP. I'm fine with that.
I'm happy with the pace. Everyone's character is interesting and fun. Having a blast. It isn't a race.
Agreed. It's unfortunate that some people who sign up for PBP games for APs don't realize that they'll likely take years to complete.
Word of warning: I'll be travelling and moving for the next few days, so my presence here will likely be spotty.
Please bot as necessary.
About his leaving, I'm perfectly fine with the pace. It's definitely not the worst I've seen, and PbPs are slow and chill, that's part of what makes them nice.
Continuing here the discussion that was in Gameplay: having us seen here will worsen their conditions, so leaving is a good idea. However, there's a chance they already know we are here (the ravens who were watching us) and they are murdering people. If so, it's worth fighting.

I'm posting this to all of my games:
I apologize for my slowness in posting. Back to School has been kicking my ass more than normal this year. I'm working way too much. I keep thinking Things will get better this week. and that keeps not being the case. Hopefully things will start getting better and I'll be able to post more frequently. Until then, I apologize again for being so slow to update.
Uhm, so, do we maybe want to go talk to that witch? William is curious.
I think Fang will be getting into a fight here shortly.
I'd like to spend that hero point I had from a while ago to get inspiration on the course of action that has the best chances to save the boys, without the village facing retaliation.
Trying to think about this through William's perspective.
While this place is strange and fantastic, it isn't completely foreign to William or his friends. It is a tiny, xenophobic village, ruled by an absolute monarch who also appears to be xenophobic and possibly to have specific reason to dislike you, the outsiders.
There may be no way to avoid repercussions completely for the village, but what is most likely to avoid retribution for helping you is to change the appearance of your relationship. Make it look like you were compelling them to help you, perhaps?
I'm just thinking out loud, here. Make it look like they aren't allies. It isn't going to help for you to just surrender. That is likely to get you interrogated and the village burned down.
At the same time, killing them all is likely to just get more muscle sent to the village.
Sorry folks. Many bumps in my life at the moment. Then trouble getting on the site this weekend, then back to new bumps. I'll get back as soon as I can.
No worries. I'll still be here.
Thanks for telling us, I hope that everything will be ok soon. We'll wait.
Yeah, I'm still here. And, yeah, life's been weird lately.
I was thinking that introducing ourselves at the Pale Tower bringing the head of the sergeant might be quite cool. Establishing the dynamic of power.
In character, William completely hates anyone who threatens children, mostly from losing his family and a background accident while he was in India (I haven't written it but it's clear in my mind).
Let's go to the tower, I don't want to be holding this thing up.
Yeah, tower.
