Sfounder's Curse of the Crimson Throne PbP
Game Master Chris Marsh

I'm against underwater adventures. I think Korvosa is our main concern, and we would need magical assistance to hit the hulk.

We should check to see if there are any other infected and try to find someone who got a good look at the ship. Maybe the gunners who scuttled it.

Ballistae right? There are no cannons in Korvosa, are there?

I agree that our primary focus ought to be Korvosa - but if we do start to find other infected people and no explanation surfaces, I imagine an exploration either via interviews with gunners or more directly might be in order.

Well your dwarf won't be going willingly into the ocean. I suggest we let professional swimmers do it maybe hire some ourselves or offer to offset the costs to Fm Cressida if she doesn't have anyone checking it out already. Question couldn't a clairvoyance or crystal ball type spell be cast and save us the trouble of going underwater cheaper?

Tony, that video was pretty bloody funny.

Key & Peele is really good TV if you find yourself wanting some sketch comedy. Any of the Obama Translator stuff is good. And see if you can find the Slave Auction sketch on Comedy Central dot come or something. It's almost High Art it's so good.

DMS you had mentioned something about a process to change your HP rolls? I mean I severly rolled horrible last level.

It's coming. Sadly, not until April. It's part of a whole new slew of rules for what fighter types can do in their down time while wizards experiment in labs and whatnot. Keep track of your rolls, because it's coming. I don't want to jump the gun and guess what the system looks like though

Well, I rolled a 2. So, I'm definitely interested. It's a little embarassing to have fewer hitpoints than the wizard.

well, REAL wizards roll d4, so you don't have to worry. :-)

Gentlemen, remind me again who can and cannot access Google Drive during the day? I just discovered how easy it is to simply let you guys move your own "minis". That would make my life MUCH easier.

how do I do it? I never heard of such a thing.

Looks like I can. At worst I could update only a time or two during work hours.

I can. No problem.

I only have access through my iPhone during the day

And I am with Adam I don't think I have ember been on google drive

well ok... Google drive is the new google docs sorry I didn't get the crossover of the new name. I just downloaded the app to my phone, but I am not sure if I can move map tokens around will have to try it out when you share one.

how do I do it? I never heard of such a thing.

Same here.

Google Drive is free and if you have a gmail account, you already have it. (Joe's XP calculator is actually a Drive file.)

Let's test this out. Below I've placed a link to a fake battle map. Try to get to the link and move the warduke picture. Let me know if it works for everyone. If it does, we can switch to this and EVERYONE'S life will be easier.

fake map

Works.

Rich and Tony are a go.

I can move the piece around at home, but as of yet I havnt figured out how to move it around on my phone which is the only net access I have during the day

Hmmm But can you see the complete map on your iPhone? If you can at least do that, it's not a net loss of accessability.

Government computer blocks :(

Does it block the imageshack map?

Good news: I can see it, which is better than before. Bad news: "Your browser doesn't support editing of this object."

I can see it from my phone but cant move it.

Ill try it from a computer when I have the chance.

Yes I can see the map that is fine. I think doing the maps on Drive will be much better, even if I can't manipulate them while working.

S's gov block on all things google can be circumvented, but not without major risk. I bet that he can see it on his phone if he has signal in his building.

Mike I have tried it on Internet Explorer 9, Safari, Google Chrome, and Mozilla firefox 16. All of them worked, with only Firefox offering a slight hiccup as it fought with google. The second time I tried firefox, it worked w/o any problems.

What browser are you using?

I can't bring my phone into my building.
When I try to do any Google docs a big "Nuh-Uh!" sign pops up. I don't like my job that much, but I think poverty would be worse so I'm not going to keep clicking it. I can see the maps you post on imageshack from work.

I'm sure I can get Google Drive from home or my phone though.

What browser are you using?

We're still on XP, so we're using IE8. Next year we're upgrading to Win 7.

try the google crome browser.. it is by nature optimized to work with google hangouts, drive, n the such.

if it slows down your machine to much the kill it.

It is FAR better than IE. and a Google Hang Out allows for a live session someday.

So who are we waiting on for some story advancement?

I hope everyone has a fun and very happy thanksgiving. If your traveling be safe.

If no 1 wants to make any stops on the way to the alley, we can advance do there. Happy Thanksgiving everyone

Grym needs no stops.

Happy Thanksgiving

no planned stops, but Sandor does insist on stopping if he see's any looting or mobs/gangs roughing up anyone especially dr's or priests no matter what the faith

I put everyone's minis in place on the map Chris sent out and tried to resend it so you guys can veto it or accept it. did it go? Does anyone object?

CRIKIES!!!! Vamps!!!! ohhh the undead how ya vex me.. well I guess the only good news is that out of the 2 weapons I made one will work. Thank goodness that was one of the 2 special materials that made sense, and that I could afford and craft in the time necessary.

Grappling has always been a little wierd/confusing, but I found a flowchart to help explain it. There are lots of good little nuggets of info on the pathfinder SRD. Anyway there are 2 pages of this flowchart here they are:

Grappling Flowchart Page 1
Grappling Flowchart Page 2

So Grym it looks like since the opponent is still grappled you gain an additional +5 to your check, but it also looks like when we try to enter the Sunlight (aka hostile enviornment) he will get a free check and a +4 to break said grapple.

Thanks for the post. I have these printed, but with everyhting going on, didn't think to look. Fight's almost over though, hopefully for you guys.

Your right fights over... with Odric's 43 pts of damage... I am sure it is.. just throw him out in the sun...

or we can let him come back and question him what say you all?

Just wanting to know, does anyone follow the TV show Dexter? If not what is one of your favorite tv series that you follow?

Hey Adam, when I was visiting you were telling me about a book series that took place on the west coast, and used time travel back to the gold rush era, and even before that.. can you get me the author and series name? I want to try to find them on audio book so I can listen to them while working.

Current television favorites:

American Horror Story
Spartatus

I watched season 1 of Dexter, but that's it. I've got a few regular shows that I try to catch, Bones, How I Met Your Mother, etc. as well.

I'm currently reading the latest Pathfinder novel (Queen of Thorns.) The PF fiction is on par with most D&D fiction. It ranges from awesome to "I guess I'll just finish it now, in for a penny in for a pound." After I told my girlfriend that I would read the Hunger Games trilogy. I'd rather be reading the official graphic novel version of the Gunslinger.

Joe, thats a book I gave Adam. The author is S M Stirling, Ive enjoyed all the books by him. Dies the Fire is my favorite. Im not sure if the one you are thinking of is Conquistador or Island in the Sea of Time.

Walking Dead is my favorite show. Big Bang Theory is my favorite sitcom.

Au contrare. HUNGER GAMES is top shelf, Chris.

Right now I'm watching BBC's MERLIN on Netflix and the wife and I just started Season 1 of HOMELAND, which has been living up to the hype so far.

For sitcoms, I'm into NEW GIRL right now. Dramas, I'm hooked on SUPERNATURAL and ARROW.

Walking Dead. Favorite character on tv is Ron Swanson from Parks & Recreation.

Walking Dead is my favorite show# Big Bang Theory is my favorite sitcom#

Ok cool S M Stirling is the author# I just checked out his WIKI PAGE and it looks like the overall series is called the Change with 2 series in it# the Nantucket, and the Emberverse# Will have to check those out# Especially if they are on Audio Book

I am reading and listening to the same series as Adam# Steven Erikson's Malazan Books of the fallen which is a 10 book series #finished## The basis of the series comes from a GURPS table top RPG game they ran# Esselmont also has a 4 or 5 book series in the same world#

S... ok so I am going to assume that you read the gunslinger novel series# I have 1 question for you? Did you stop when he said the novel was done, or keep reading?

TV## let me just say that I love my DVR#

American Horror Story## didn't really catch my interest in the first 2 episodes so I gave up on it#

Spartacus## I love it can't wait for the new episodes starting January

Walking Dead## super awesome show I can't belive that they killed

Big Bang Theory: makes me laugh all the time Check this link out

Merlin: I caught the first season, and some of the second, but there was such a long break inbetween the 2 seasons I lost interest.

Arrow a friend at work turned me onto this show seems ok so far.

Homeland: Finished the first season, working through season 2 as I am typing this. So far I think season 2 is turning out better. But that is because I stopped analyzing it from what would actually happen and just go with the story.

Lets see what else do I watch. True Blood, Dexter, and of course I can't leave out Game of Thrones. I loved the book series and the HBO series is very good, but if all you do is watch the series you miss sooo much.

LOL, no I did not stop when he told me to. A coworker of mine that grew up with Adam, Phil, and I (Ron Delude) HATES that he read the end and wishes he stopped when he was supposed to. The Graphic novel is presented in roughly chronological order, so it opens with Cort's training...

I think I have looked at a one of the first graphic novels, and it looked pretty good. As for the series, I stopped reading when he said for just over a week and then read the final part because it was killing me. I don't hate it, but it would have been worse if I didn't wait that time.
