Do any of us even have ranks in religion? I know I don't.

Not I. Mr Alchemist?

Not I.

Are any of you going to do anything?

Been meaning to post something, just don't know what to do. Plus work.
I'll post now and see how it goooooooooes!

Anybody know what Parchment x4 2nd level mean? The "2nd level" part is what I don't get.

Does anyone have the ability to identify the longsword and cloak?

Tomorrow in-game, I can prepare an extract of identify, and I should be able to make it with a total +19 to my identification roll. Minimum CL identified=> 5th.

Cool. can you do that twice and get both items?

I'm not sure what that parchment with a level on it is, either. ARe those unidentified scrolls?

As to the rest of the gear, Silent could use that light Crossbow. He's got bolts but no ranged weapon at this point.

I don't think there's much that Tam needs, unless the cloak turns out to be useful. He's good for a melee weapon (APE FISTS OF FURY!) and has a nice crossbow to use, so he's good for that.

Re: Parchment. No clue what the levels mean, that's what Gylwinth had listed. I don't see any difference. I'll just change it to Parchment x11.
I think he planned on scribing scrolls at some point.

As far as the goods, current claims are:

Joe:
nothing yet

Eltumal:
nothing yet

Silent:
Crossbow (& bolts?)

Tam:
Nothing

Jivaji:
Switch Comp. Longbow(+2) for MW Comp. Longbow(+2)
Arrows x100
Torch x2
Potion of CLW x2
Trail Rations x9
Sunrod x2
MW Thieves Tools
Crowbar x1
Rope, Silk(50 Ft)
Caltrops x1
Marbles x1
Chalk x1
Earplugs x1
Flint and steel x1
Grappling Hook x1
Fish hook x1
Waterproof Bag x2

*Jivaji only cares at all about the bow, which to be honest, he could take or leave. If anyone else wants to claim something, by all means do so and Jivaji will not object. Plans are to move as much of the goods as possible tot he mule, so that Fazmir can be ridden again.

No objections here, Jivaji.

As to the rest of the gear, Silent could use that light Crossbow. He's got bolts but no ranged weapon at this point.

I should be able to use it once and get both items. With a six-round duration, I should be able to get them both.

Also, we should get that locked chest unlocked, unless it's only marked as locked to remind us of the lock that's on it, and it's really open.

I'm good. Nothing there for Joe. You fellas take what you need.

Outside of the curiousity of what's in the locked chest Eltumal mentioned, I'm good.

Nope. There were 2, One got unlocked (it's listed in the coin/valuable items section.)

One of the things that Jivaji plans on doing is unlocking that other chest, now that there's time.

In fact, why don't I do that now?

And if you can't make the Disable Device DC... there's a crowbar in that loot list, too. :)

Though I guess we should hit it with a Detect Magic and Detect Poison first, huh?

Jivaji pokes the GM

Gonna be getting a new PC real soon. Sorry for delay just hold on a bit longer.

Sorry for my absence. Life got crazy on me, and now i'm stepping away on vacation for a while.

Not 100% when i'll be back to a regular-posting schedule.

Sorry, all.

This is actually fairly amusing. I've never seen anything like this happen in a game. The odds of 3 "2"s in a row is 1 in 800. It's pretty strange.

I have to TOTALLY agree. I'm rollin' over here with so many pathetic rolls. :D

1 in 800? Unbelievable.

I must say, I don't think I've ever seen a complete failure amongst five separate rolls. Usually there is at least ONE person that rolls fairly good.

This, I'm afraid, is very much us. :)

Indeed. I've never seen anything quite like this. I've seen crap rolls by one person back to back to back, but that's as close to that as I've gotten.

Just out of curiosity: 1d20 ⇒ 5

Well, it's not a 2, but it's not much better. :/

....Thinking better of it, he shifts back into his hybrid form, drawing out his blade in preparation for The Thing.

Seriously? We're fighting The Thing? We're screwed. ;)

"IT'S CLOBBERIN' TIME!"

Shano, just so y'know, you've got a PM waiting for you.

I get home from work and see 43 new posts in this game! I'm like; "Daaaaaaang Gina!" Fortunately, it was mostly James coming up with different possible reincarnations for Eltumal. ;)

I wanted to extend a formal thanks to you guys. This is my fastest moving online campaign and it is thanks in no small part to you all. I have s real good feeling we will be making some headway.

Oh and don't worry. I won't MAKE you guys fight any vampires stronger than this girl. She is CONSIDERABLY weak compared to the other Vamps present in this jungle.
Just don't leap recklessly to the offensive when you meet them.

Hadn't planned on leaping recklessly anywhere, to be honest with you. :P

Hopefully, we will be making some headway, as I really enjoy this campaign.

Also: This is absolutely the lowest level I've ever fought any kind of Vampire, ever. Riveting scene, thought I was gonna die.

I'll second that what Eltumal said.

Never have I fought a vamp at this level, either.

Guys, this is my formal head's up.

I'm accepting a new job, one that I don't think I can post from work at. I have a few days left, so I can keep up for a bit, but I may be out of commission starting Monday.

I don't get much time to post from home since I'm way too busy, so that's... pretty much gonna be it for me. :[

Hmmm. That's unfortunate, man. Hope it's at least a good job move. :)

And now the other shoe drops. In mid June to early July, my wife is having our second child. I can tell you from experience that's going to mean somewhat of an absence from my perspective from the birth until ... well... whenever we get our feet back under us.

So with JIvaji's absence and mine (whenever that happens), you're looking to be down two crew-members in a game where Shano said he wasn't interested in recruiting any more.

Sorry, guys.

Hey fellas, real life is real life.

Gruuu, congrats on the new job, buddy!

And Eben, congrats on the future new little person in your life! That's awesome!

I, myself, don't have any such news, but I have a long weekend coming up. Saturday through Monday, my posting will be little to non-existant. Should be good to roll back on Tuesday, though.

It's been fun running with you, Jivaji! (It's fun running with all you guys, I feel this is a good group, but I only mention Jivaji 'cause he's leaving first.) :)

Indeed. Congrats to both. We'll miss you, definitely, but we'll figure something out.

The only news I've got is that I'm going to be trying to switch to polyphasic sleeping this coming weekend, and the week after that, my posts may not make much sense. The first adaptation week is basically sleep deprivation.

I've got one maybe, and I have yet to ask the other one I have in mind.

That's cool. Most of the folks I know, have been asked to previous pbp's and declined due to being too busy. So, get all you can Eltumal! If worse comes to worse, then I'll see if there is anybody.

I'm gonna play the wait and see game. Now remember, Jivaji's gone on Monday, but Silent is suppose to leave around June, I think it was?

So, I think we just need one for now. Or do you want to add them both asap, Shanosuke?

Just a reminder, posting for me tomorrow thru Monday could be tricky. Long weekend for me, so, if I don't, then you'll know why.

Speaking of which, Shan, how do you want Jivaji to exit?

I'm not opposed to someone jumping in using Jivaji, though I know most people prefer to roll in on their own characters.

I'm...pretty much out of time left to post now anyhow. I'm headed for bed tonight, and my entire Sunday is booked already, and then I start new job and hit PAX East next weekend!

Anyway, it's been a damn blast playin with you guys. This campaign has been a lot of fun. I hope I get a chance to roll with any of you in the future.

Hey, I'm the maybe Edgar mentioned.
Just posting to show interest :D
He's trying to get me a link to the recruitment, and once I get there, I'll give you a couple of character ideas/full builds.
I'll try to make it so I'm not throwing off party balance.

Found it.

Jivaji, it's been a pleasure gaming with you. Hopefully, we can game together again eventually; you were a blast to play with.

Take care of yourself, buddy! Enjoyed it!

What's up, Damien? Nah. I don't think whatever you come up with will throw us off-balance. We're gonna be fairly short-handed, so, it should all be good with whatever you decide to roll with. :)

I am not personally worried about party balance as I am good and interesting characters. Silent and Jivaji are gonna be tough to replace.

Rolling for gold for my class ideas
Ranger 5d6 ⇒ (1, 2, 2, 1, 6) = 12x100= 1200g
Barbarian 3d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 6) = 15x100= 1500g
Cleric 8d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 1, 4, 2, 5, 4, 5) = 31x100=3100

Here are my Character Concepts:

• CG Half-Orc Barbarian (Invulnerable Rager), putting as much into Constitution as possible. Campaign Trait choice: probably Town Watch
  
• CN Orc Ranger (Bow, composite of course), I've actually already got a bit of this character written out, I'd be glad to write more for this campaign. Campaign Trait: likely Mountaineer.
  
• NE Half-Elven Cleric (Undead Lord + Separatist) Cleric of Nethys who believes that Death given Life anew is the culmination of knowledge. Campaign Trait: Darpuul Well-to-do.

More info about any of those characters, I'd be more than glad to give some or write a lengthy background. I'm going to make each character in HeroLab.
Also, I know that an evil character (especially a necromancer!) would be looked at with suspicion by any party, but what I had in mind for him was more of a 'must have all knowledge!' kind of guy that is so appropriate for a priest of Nethys.

Lemme know what's up, and if anyone has a preference for what they'd like to see.

You may want to read what's happened in the Gameplay thread, if only the last dozen or so pages. That may impact your decision.

Looking specifically at the Necromancer.

Oh, I also asked the other person I had in mind, and he said no.

I was actually going to ask about the Undead Cleric. I am curious about his/her story.

Eh...I'm sorry for the general scattered-ness of that, but I'm distracted at the moment, and I've never really been great at writing coherent stories.
I was going for a sort of 'young boy goes mad and reanimates his lost love' kinda thing.

If you'd care for me to put in an 'escape' story, I can come up with something for that.
In general, here he is! Let me know any questions or concerns.

Sorry for not posting much. I do not have a computer right now so I do not have access to my campaign material. For now I think this cleric will work for our game

Welcome aboard Damien.

Jivaji, as far as departure goes I was thinking a dramatic death. I like Jivaji but I do not believe in passing around characters. He could just disappear like he did last time too. I will role play it out when the time comes.

Haha, auto-approved for the cleric, I don't get to write up my con-barian?
Joking aside, I'll post stats and whatnot to the profile asap.

Looking forward to it, Shanosuke

Sorry for the delay in uploading my character, apparently when my computer reset for updates the other day, I had forgotten to save my character's HeroLab and text file, so I have to start from scratch.
I'll try to get him on tonight.

Its okay. We can have you show up in the village. The only question I have is are Silent and Jivaji gone already?

Silent should still be here, but Jivaji is gone. If I'm not mistaken, Silent will be here until some time in June.

Okies once I finalize our dead loving Cleric I will add him.

Three quick points to bring attention to...

• I would like to have two holy symbols: One Holy, One Unholy. I'm a priest of Nethys, and his sign is the black/white mask. I'd like the two symbols to fit together, Holy being the white portion and Unholy being the black.
  
• I would like to be younger than standard elves (50-60 years), so that Lelo would look childlike to a human (around 12-14 looking). I'd have to modify the above story a bit to change the amount of time referenced.
  
• I would like to stress that I decided on True Neutral cleric of Nethys, and chose Positive Channeling, to sort of represent his background of a caretaker/healer.

If there's a problem with points 1 and 2, please let me know while I can still make adjustments.
Other than that, statblock will be going up soon :)
