Hmm - nobody is very talkative here.
you need a campfire...:)
I think the caravan is gun power, so the campfire might be dangerous -- although if you bring marshmallows, it might work.

EEek, not another campfire... like i need another 30 posts a day to wade through ; P. however, do feel free to post whenever you like.
oh and Faelar, how about we pace ourselves a bit with the knowledge checks :/
I would pace the knowledge checks, but I failed my knowledge(how frequently to check knowledge) check.
I'm sorry that I failed to post yesterday. It was the day from hell. While over imbibing with family on Saturday night I lost my cellphone, which has a case that holds my driver's license and a credit card, AWESOME! Missed my flight home looking for the phone and ID, but we never found it. So after looking for a few hours, I went to the airport and got a later flight, no extra charge (Yay Southwest!). Went through extra screening because I didn't have ID (Boo TSA!). The flight was delayed for 2 1/2 hours at various stages because the BWI sucks and had closed two runways (Did I mention the mutant baby with super lungs that cried the entire 2 1/2 hour flight?). In any case I am lucky that I took today off too because now I need to go get a new phone and DL.

My advise for the TSA is a sleep spell - oh, wait, that requires an intelligent target, my bad.
Sorry about all the knowledge checks. As I mentioned previously Faelar LOVES knowledge. Plus I am still kind of new to PbP's, so trying to learn everything about everything. Must admit so far, my rolls here have been better than anywhere else, including in my tabletop games. I do hope everyone starts to have some better luck.
Just out of curiosity how would I set a link to a picture? I have a picture of Faelar that a friend drew and painted for me, designed off of my details and I was wondering how to show you guys. I don't have it online though.
That does sound like the day from hell, glad you got back home though.
Yikes, K! That sounds like a living nightmare. and no worries about posting. i certainly don't mind a more leisurely pace.
F- hit the BBCode tags below for cool things to do in your post. it's the [url=(copy your http here)]text [/url... looking one.
and no worries on the know checks. I certainly don't want to dissuade you for checking for pertinent info and I enjoy giving background, but to be honest a lot of high know checks will slow me down trying to dig up info and even decide right then what I want to put out there. and heck I think it's just more fun to discover things in game than get a bunch of spoilers up front.
so maybe just 2 checks at a time max.

Faelar - you could also route that link to your profile/sheet so it isn't lost to one post?
TSA is very very bad. I suppose aggravating the hell out of travelers is one way to keep dangerous people off of planes, they'll get to mad to put up with that crap.
Super cool that Southwest helped you out with a ticket though, I try to fly with them whenever I can.
Honestly, the people working with the TSA were mostly very nice and professional. It was just the extra time and scrutiny that were a hassle.
On the outgoing flight I was also delayed for 4 hours because of the crazy weather we had in the East last week. Southwest sent me a voucher for $100 on future flights. I was shocked that they would give a voucher for something that was completely outside their control (the weather). Southwest has won my business from this point forward.
Thanks for the help with getting the picture up. Just had to create a facebook account to put it up, but there is now a link to see what Faelar looks like. It is found under "Appearance" on my profile. Bearing in mind I didn't draw him, but an artist friend of mine took the details and painted him for me.
Southwest rocks, I hate flying anything else. In Chicago they go out of Midway, which is good since I hate O'Hare. At this point they fly to most of the country. The best thing about Southwest is if you don't take a flight, they just credit what you paid to a future flight, it could be later that day or 6 months later, they don't care. If you change on the day of the flight, then the other ticket might cost more, but you still get the full credit applied without any change fee which is usually like $75 with most other airlines.
The montage made me very happy! Thank you Voodoo!
You are quite welcome! I aim to please. ; )
I think I have Shaggy wrapped up. Zoinks!
A male version of Velma, here! Jeepers!
Which one would be the quiet one who likes to shoot people without thinking of the consequences?
If it weren't for you meddling KIDS!
actually it's pretty funny how my other game started out shades of the Maltese Falcon and this one may go all Casino Royale. I didn't even know I was a noir fan...
Considering our main front line fighter is a short woman with 10 strength, there is likely to be a lot of diplomacy and bluffing in this one.
Hey - would you care if I were to switch from the archer sub-type to the crossbow subtype? Or perhaps to a normal fighter? Just trying to figure what I want to do, and keep changing how I want to run this character. If I went straight fighter I might change 1 feat, if I go crossbowman, then would just switch the craft(bows) skill.
Thanks
Everyone feel free to tweak your characters anyway you like through first level. I'm totally cool with changing things if they don't play out how you expected. It always takes me a level to get a feel for a character.
I love that the kingpin criminal is a gussied up goblin.

Goblins show up in the durndest places. Wasn't really my idea though. I'm using bits of Dark Markets. Good stuff in there. that's why I wanted to start in Katapesh City rather than Solku. I like riffing on random source material.
I am loving how this campaign is going so far. I just hope it will remain to be as good all the way through, definitely the best game I have played so far! Thank-you Voodoo and congratulations for running a great game.
Goblins are not that bad, a little chewy, but once you spit and barbecue them with some spice, you can get them down.
Oh yeah, Dark Markets is really a good read!
*scribbles note to self* Dark Markets mhm hmm mhm hmmm.
Soon I will break the game! Mad loots will be mine!
Actualy I forgot that book existed...sad since I have it somewhere...man my memory is shot these days!
I have noticed that you all seem to post more when it is in the middle of the night for me. So I am guessing that is the afternoon for most of you, as I live in England. So Voodoo, feel free to roll my Fort, Ref and Will saves if it will speed the game up for everyone.
USA - central time here, like 6 or 7 hours behind you -- I think Voodoo is either the same time or mountain time, 1 hour further behind you
yep. i'm US mountain time. I used to be AZ time- they don't fool with that daylight saving BS. That's one thing i could get behind- there are some things that humans shouldn't fool with...
I tweaked Kzrira. Changed her from a Fighter(archer) to a straight fighter. Also changed her stats slightly. She was:
Str 12
Dex 18
Con 13
Int 14
Wis 8
Cha 12
Changed them to:
Str 10
Dex 17
Con 13
Int 14
Wis 10
Cha 14
_______
Initially my plan was to combine her as a Fighter/Rogue using the bow to backstab. However, with the party makeup, I think that she will likely multi as an Oracle - different, but doable. Thus, the higher Cha. Also, she is using a light crossbow instead of shortbow. Mostly because her strength is so low that she could never use a compound bow, and this way she gets the 19-20 on crits instead of the straight 20 with a bow.
Also, I changed one trait from Stargazer or something (the Desna survival trait) to Indomitable Faith.
Please let me know if anything that I did is too much. I will modify the background slightly to fit in with these changes if it is ok.
I'm on PST so I am pretty far behind you Faelar. The GM in my Jade Regent game is in Glasgow so I have the same issue there too...although he may work nights...
Anyway my posts will always be all over the place. My son wakes up super early some mornings, at work I can get things in some times, and I also stay up later although that won't be as noticeable since I am so close to Sheik Voodoo. I think the posting pace has been pretty good so far.
I agree that this is the fastest game I am currently in and definitely the most enjoyable.
The other game I'm running has folks in Asia, Scotland, and 50 miles away from me in Santa Fe, all over the place.
I'm in a game with an Aussie as well who posts in the middle of the night for me. That game gets kinda funny when the german and aussie get going and I wake up to 12 posts.

Yeh - almost all my games have several europeans in them. I wake up and there are a whole series of posts starting at about 2:00 a.m. my time.
EST here. I can post from work, so I post a lot during weekdays and evenings. With football season going I am pretty busy (and drunk) all day Saturday.
The time zone issue is actually a thing that makes me a bit sad - it's hard to implement a real subplot for someone who is at the other side of the world, since it will slow down the overall progress immensely. However, I still tried it, funnily Severino was brought down by the Aussie in the end :)
ZZ- actually Kirk assassinated Severino and I was running Kirk by proxy so it worked out in the end, but yeah it was basically a Shifty arrangement. ; )
Gonna take your advice and drop the oracle idea - was not too keen on it anyway. Will probably drop one Charisma and put 2 points back into Strength. I really like the Fighter/Rogue(sniper) combo - deadly from distance. Nothing like backstabbing with a crossbow from 50 feet.
Gonna leave the Dex at 17 and then add to that at level 4 - if I survive that far.
I'll be interested to see whether the Wayfinder move pisses off Mecham. This sort of shadowy artifice might be important to him...
I think he would have been happier with me not using the Wayfinder, but I felt like I wasn't contributing much. Also it gave me something to do and it could have been useful in case it does come down to fight. I just hope he doesn't attack because of the light.

If I am reading this wrong you can correct me but at this point I have gotten the impression that Faelar is a nice guy and maybe a little naive about how criminals and the shadier side of the worlds works. I think its great, it might get us into trouble, but great.
You have got him in one shot. He has never really known anything out of his village and his home. All he did there was attend the elven martial school and while at home he read books (A LOT). But he has never wondered about criminals, or their goings on. So will try to treat them like most other people, unless they hurt the people he cares about.
Karethas does not like those who summon and/or cavort with demons as he prefers to work with elementals and genies. He refuses to see the similarities. :-)
Struggling with a cold, will post but probably late.
