Just a couple questions for my fellow adventurers:
Castiel the Strange -
I was just wondering how crazy you are planning on playing the character and how capable he is of regular conversations?
Also, was wondering what deity he worships? I noticed that you took the Birthmark trait, but didn't notice a deity to go along with it?
Capable enough he may sometimes trail off, add things that dont make sense or not quite grasp things others have no problem with but is otherwise capable of regular discussion.
A Faith trait does not require a diety. His faith is in himself and his belief that something he doesnt understand has chosen him for some reason. He believes that his Rabbit is important somehow and must be protected. He also swears hes not crazy.
I rushed the background to get in at 10 am It still needs work.
Trailing off a bit is fine, just making sure you were coherent enough to understand, otherwise I'd be wondering why we would be willing to travel with you.
As for the Birthmark trait specifically, it just seemed that the wording would make you have a deity since it specifically states the "strange birthmark that looks very similar to the holy symbol of the god you chose to worship later in life."
Birthmark: You were born with a strange birthmark that looks very similar to the holy symbol of the god you chose to worship later in life. This birthmark can serve you as a divine focus for casting spells, and as a physical manifestation of your faith, it increases your devotion to your god—you gain a +2 trait bonus on all saving throws against charm and compulsion effects as a result.
Hmm... Ill just change it to indomitable faith then. Tks.
Brother Dhal reporting in.
Sonja is (more or less)ready.
I'll get the gameplay thread up a little later today. I know many times people have busy weekends so you won't be required to keep a pace of posting once a day until Monday rolls around.
The gameplay thread is up.
Poorly cropped images of Ionnia and Yuln are posted in the campaign info tab.

As citizen of taldor, Sonja is probably fed with all kinds of prejudice against people from quadra and followers of Serenae.
I wanted to check how do you feel about it,if it bothers you i will just ignore it,as chaotic neutral ,she don't need to follow the social expectations.

Sonja is YOUR character and it is not my place to tell you how to play her interactions with certain characters. However consider the impact not getting along with your party members will have on the group dynamic. Perhaps you could be shady of Zahim at first but allow him the chance to change your mind towards him?
Basically I;m asking you to play your character how you see fit, but please don't be a douche to my character. Especially for no other reason than racism.
@ Embrianna
As the only full BAB, martial class in the group you are the only one proficient in all martial weapons and thus the sole potential wielder of the cold iron longsword.
Just double checking. Didn't want to seem greedy or anything. :)

That was the idea,i just wanted to be sure that you are ok with it.
don't be a douche to my character.
Don't worry , i don't intent to do that, at most :some caution at first and perhaps snowball sneak attack (: .

For when you start overland travel, could I get a general idea of what formation you will be in? Also, if you plan to keep watches while resting, in which order and for how long would you like them? Once it is all sorted out I'll keep that information in the campaign info tab for quick reference.
Zahim will come up the rear with Castiel, but remain close to all the party members for support purposes.
As for overnight watch, he'd probably like to take the last lookout so that he'll always be ready to pray at sunrise.
Back and 1st or last watch.
In the front with Embrianna and let's say 3th watch
So, barring a disagreement from Embrianna, 2 x 2, casters in the back? Watches are Castiel, Embrianna, Sonja, and Zahim?
You can usually assume that Embrianna would wish to be up front when traveling about in the wilderness.
She will also take 2nd watch.
Is everyone done questioning Yuln and ready to advance?
I'm personally ready to advance if everyone else is.
Ready.

I'd probably want to wait until Embrianna has had a chance to buy stuff and explore before the encounter continues at all. Maybe even hold of dealing with it until Monday?
I figured I'd at least wait until I got a chance to get home and post the map.
By the way, I've started keeping track of treasure found and who is carrying it in the campaign info tab.
Embrianna had already spent all but a few gold before coming here. Seeing as how she travels alot I figured she'd already be geared up for an outing.
I've posted a map of the Massacre Site in a link in the Campaign Info tab.
We made our first full gameplay page! :D
*blows party streamer*
BTW if anyone is concerned that the fire may get out of control, I have Create Water prepared as an Orision in case we need it.
Let me know when you are finished exploring the current scene and are ready to move forth.
Each PC needs to succeed on a DC 15 Fortitude save with their next post or take 1d6 ⇒ 2 nonlethal damage and become fatigued due to the cold.
Is this cold damage?
Reading the CRB, technically the nonlethal damage from spending prolonged time in cold weather is not cold damage, but barring any objection from the party, I think it would stand to reason to act as though it were in regards to cold resistance and such.

Spending prolonged time in cold weather doesn't deal cold damage? Derp.
I agree with the proposed ruling.
I guess the Cleric with the worst REF save will open the possibly-booby trapped chest.
Don't worry; there was no Ref save involved. :)
The newly found treasure has been added to the campaign info tab. Please tell me who would like to gather what of it, if anything, and then let me know when the group is ready to continue following the bandit's trail. Since Sonja has cold resist 2 and everyone succeeded on their save or had endure elements active, Zahim is the only one injured (from the trap) so the group is still going strong at mid-day.
Would like one Spear to replace my Quarterstaff and one Light Crossbow to replace my Sling, say 8ish bolts.
Sorry about the delay,today was one of those crazy days.
So i am fatigued but get no lethal damage is that right?
With the fatigue, am over light load, so i will take one crossbow and the arrows.
The chain shirt and the dagger too but only if no one else wants them.
Your only fatigued if you took damage you have resist 2 right? if so then your good as gold.
Embrianna isn't taking anything.
So, Castiel is taking a spear along with a light crossbow and 8 bolts, and Sonja is gathering the masterwork chain shirt and masterwork dagger along with a crossbow and the remaining 17 bolts?
I'm going to remove all of the unclaimed treasure from under the treasure heading to keep from stretching the page.
I'll have a post up in the gameplay thread moving on in about 7ish hours. I accidently left my Kindle Fire with the Snows of Summer PDF on it at home, so I don't have the information I need to make a post now in front of me while at work.
As I said, I want to grab some lightweight stuff to sell but only after those who need equipment are happy. We can (and probably will) leave most of it anyway.
Yeah, we don't want to get too encumbered so early on, especially since we are in a bit of a hurry.

I concur :)
We'll wait another couple of hours for Sonja to post before beginning the resolution of the first combat round. I'm assuming Castiel is waiting until after the monster moves to make an action.
What would be a good idea would be for each PC to have a basic combat script in their profile, such as: "Move to flank, if possible, and attack nearest creature in melee," or "keep away from enemies with each move actions and take any clear shot with a bow." That way if we don't here from you after 24-hours we can continue on with combat in your absence with your character on auto-pilot.
yes I and waiting, will most likely get as far away as possable from the creature on my turn. As far as combat goes never be in melee is the first rule. Acid Ray anything not in Melee/Cover if possable or AOE if I can get more than 1 thing and not a party member also. For all other occasions Crossbow and Spear only if allies are already engaging the enemy.
