Smoke Knights of Absalom

Game Master Nimon

I hope my knowledge local roll was not overlooked. Been waiting on it.

Since It was done after I asked for one I assumed it was for that purpose. It not add a bold ooc to explain what the roll is for

Ex. 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4 Knowledge Local to find a contact ect

That just makes it clear for me.

Will do in the future. ;3

Will do in the future. ;3

Cool no problem I should have put up some basic post expectations in the Campaign Tab, I usually do its a good reference. I might just do that tonight.

I added some basic PbP info in the campaign trait. It would really help me out that if your character does something you give an appropriate roll to go with it, or if you want me to roll for you post your stats in your race block of profile so I can see it with out clicking on everyone's profiles.

Well unless someone else wants to chat with Aeadon I think he is ready to hunt down.....I mean find his contact and determine his usefulness in our little endeavor.

Just to say that after today (my time) my posting will be sporadic for the next three days. Saturday and Sunday are always my slowest days – I tend to post mostly in the evenings.

Monday is my wife’s birthday, so expect zero posts and then I’m full steam ahead again from Tuesday morning. Thanks for your patience.

Aeadon is ready to go, in case I am holding anything up. x3

Same here, ready to go. I will flank Aeadon as we did previously (just in case someone else wants to come and chat).

I know the spoiler without opening it, why would nobles of Absalom or anyone that lives there for a few years not know what that pin means?

Also just want to know if suggestion is legal. Cause it seems like your saying it is. But seeing as it's a spell that makes people do what you say, so long as it is not obviously harmful. I would consider that illegal in anything but self defense. Trade city after all, silver tongues are bad enough. :P

DoYou live in America? would you know a service medal on site? I was four years in the military and I only know the ones related to my branch of service.

As to the spell suggestion, it depends on the context. It very well could be illegal used in this way. I am not saying it isn't illegial, Sir Voldniq only tells you he is aware of the laws pertaining to magic and asks who you are. For all you know Norvyn is being punished for some other crime and cleaning the sewers is part of his community service.

I don't know if I agree with that. Gold pins in Absalom are not service medals but rather closer to status symbols. Everyone who gets a service medal does not get a stone bust in the largest arena in the world for all to see. They are not known city wide and treated with respect by the social powers of said city too. Which nobles would be considered social powers I think.

I will say I have never met anyone who did not know what a purple heart is in real life. So some medals I think are important enough to be known by all.

Anyways will post in a bit.

I know what a purple heart is but I have never seen one. I wouldn't know a real one from a fake one.

Not taking sides, just stating this for discussion.

I also did not know about the gold pin but I haven't been playing Pathfinder that long either.

If you earn a Medal of Honor, even the President has to Salute you and 5 Star Generals are called to attention when you enter a room. Even my little Combat Medical Badge holds considerable weight in my own unit.

Even still, just because you as a player own the Guide to Absolam, does not mean your character has access to all the information in that.

I know world series rings exist, but I would not know one from any other ring had I come in contact with it.

The Irorium in the Foreign District is notthe largest Arena in Golorian. It is a Unique reward given in a Specific location. There is a bust in the Irorium which is why Noro and Jiri Did not have to roll as they have contact with that specific location. Aeadon Does not that I read in his background.

So I'm really having a rough day today, medically. Hands shaking bad and I'm more than a wee bit disoriented, so this'll probably be the post from me, for the night. I'll try to post a bit more tomorrow, despite an early work shift. Thanks for understanding.

In case I was unclear Aeadon won't talk about stuff he did not take part in. Like Noro's encounter and Jiri's sneak attempt. He hates giving second hand information. ;-)

Btw why is the assassin lady looking at me. :'(

P.S. Get better and take it easy Sarvin.

So congratulations on getting to level 3. Some of you might be thinking, "But I thought you said 3 encounters and we didn't fight" Well you did have 3 encounters(at least) since the last chapter. Sometimes it is not always wise to fight everything you see, and it appears that this group understands that concept. Best Role Player and Hero Point use to come shortly after I review. Pick your MVP!

I really enjoy this group so far. The ones that have stuck it out have been playing their characters and I appreciate that.

Best Role Player this chapter goes to Aeadon. Some of this reflects the fact that more opportunity to role play may have presented itself for Aeadon this chapter, but Aeadon consistently puts up a nice sized post full of flavor.
Honorable Mentions Agreal you had some good posts this chapter and I enjoyed the way you played to Norvyn. Noro Like Aeadon you have consistently posted full posts and I appreciate that.
Best Use of a Hero Point Sarvin for using it on the Sense Motive roll, it was an important roll and even though Aeadon did it use it for that as well, I liked your explanation of it being due to your character's paranoia.

For you more martial characters, don't worry fights aplenty next chapter, in-fact get ready to roll initiative again.

Going to have to wait til later to level Aeadon.

MVP Vote: Agreal

MVP Sarvin (for telling us all to behave :-)

my MVP vote is Agreal because I like the way he seemed so innocent about things and it was enjoyable to be around.

I forgot though how are we doing HP?

MVP : Aeadon, though he better watch his puppies. I might shoot them.
HM : Noro and Agreal
HP Use : Sarvin

I wish I had more time to create longer posts. Like now, I barely have 10-15 minutes to check all my games before I go to work.

Agreal for my MVP vote.

MVP: Aeadon, because he allowed us to meet Norvyn.

my MVP vote is Agreal because I like the way he seemed so innocent about things and it was enjoyable to be around.

That pretty well sums it up. Innocent Agreal is my MVP vote.

Concerning level 3, since it seems I've teamed up with an assassin I'm actually tempted to take a level in rogue, as if Corvus has started showing me the ropes of the stealthy type. Opinions wanted. Should I wait or is doing so now a benefit?

It's your character but I'd enjoy the teacher/apprentice role-play.

So it looks like Agreal is the choice for MVP. *Edit Maldrek did not vote yet*

Full Hit Points every level

Just so you all know that was not a spell she casts it was a Slumber Hex She is a Naughty little witch.

Here to be checked before going into gameplay tab.

Good to go.

I think he is good, give him the once over please. I got a loud mouthed sword to shut up. ;P

should be good to go.

level 2 barbarian here.

I think I'm gonna take one more level in fighter so I can gain an extra combat feat. Since we didn't really have any combat this level Gerrik really hasn't had the chance to be influenced by Corvus' skills.

Profile updated.

my vote goes to Sarvin, we tieflings need to stick together and besides you pulled off angry tiefling with gusto.

Everyone But Maldrek looks ready. Did you level up yet Maldrek? missing hit points and some major pieces.

Hey now! Don't forget me! I still have to get mine done up, but it'll be there soon.

I think ol' Sarvin is updated now.

I ment everyone that had posted. You are fine now too Sarvin.

who are we waiting on?

I...don't know.

We wait on the great McCluckins, Warrior Chicken... Fear his chicken goodness, and be awed by his deliciousness.

All I know is it's not me.

I was last to post so I'm fairly sure its not me.

Still here - in case anyone's wondering...

The devil is in the details...

Any word on this?

Any word on this?

"bird?"

Has our DM gone MIA?

Oh, I hope not.

All of you go get the sacri...err "volunteers" from the safe house! I shall prepare the Altar to Asmodeus for the rite of "GM resummoning"!

Sorry, but it has been a month. I think this game has died :( I enjoyed roleplaying with you all and I hope Nimon's RL is okay. Have fun you guys.
