Welcome back a good luck with the next attempt Maxim

Cheers man - we can't get a replacement van, so no racing for us this weekend.

Aww, that's a bummer :(

@Juraan: Aye we have cashed in - think I mentioned in my last post?

I seemed to miss that. I was looking out for specific numbers and didn't see any. Can't see the forest for the trees. Or vice versa. :p

Was it the same numbers I had on the spreadsheet (3,266 GP for each of us and 3271.40 GP for the Commons/Kitty)?

I just want to clear off all the old stuff and have the numbers squared up right and proper first.

Just doing my bit to tidy up the accounts, just like the world famous Herbert Anchovy, the most exciting chartered accountant of all time (sort of).

Nice touch, Maxim! Juggling multiple aliases is no little feat. New pic is much easier on the eyes too... ;)

Haha. Alas their are no dwur-rump avatars otherwise I'd have been able to assume my pseudo-Kikinnin alias ;)

sorry for the book all, didn't realize it was that long until I started scrolling through it today on my phone

Just had an idea and followed it last night before crasahing

No worries Ryan, I enjoyed reading it :)

Hey guys, popping in to say that today is/has been/will be busy with spring cleaning, an apartment inspection + visit by the HVAC guy, and anniversary sushi but I'll try to get caught up on things later tonight :)

Welcome to Chapter 4: Zenith's Trajectory, written by David Noonan :)
Corresponding Dungeon cover for chapter 4.

Hah! Way to start it off with a bang, too :D

sorry for the delay all has been a crazy 36 hours, should be back to normal

Quick one for you gang - I had Maxim conjure his loyal steed thinking it would give him speedy movement across the urbanscape...

Ends up I'm lagging behind everyone else (apologies - not pulled my weight in this scrap) - am I missing something re: mounts? (never really use them unless for overland travel).

Mounts can move separately from you, giving you a bit better action economy.

But if you just need it for short distances, the effort of climbing on and off will counter that.

If you have a good ride remember you can do a rapid dismount as a free action. That can help a bit.

Hey guys, my laptop has died and I'm stuck working the next couple of days so until I can get the issue addressed I'm limited to posting from my Kindle - which makes using maps difficult.

Just bot Marigold as needed and I'll try and catch up when I get home from work tomorrow night.

No problem Marigold, and good luck!

I have been fighting myself for a week against my Internet provider deciding to perform some changes on their infrastructure that has ended me having no connection and requesting a new router.
Just salt, not real life problem :)

AND the Paizo site wouldn't let me log on last night.
Computers can be such [color=red]fun[/color] sometimes! :p

Site was giving me fits this morning - off/on/off/on/off again. Getting my posts in was a saga in themselves!

Could've been worse. It doesn't usually last too long when it happens.
Mind you, it's not like we actually [color=green]pay money[/color] for it. :o

Graduation Weekend, please feel free to GMPC.

Congratulations! Wether for you or one of yours

Congrats Kikinnin!

Also, new laptop ordered; should have it by Tuesday :)

Much obliged! Youngest will graduate HS tomorrow, big clan gathering for us dwarves. Come August, we will officially become 'Empty Nesters', with the exception of a pair of aging dogs :)

Sounds like a big 'party-hearty' event is in the works over yonder!

Huzzah!

Will raise an ale in celebration of the beardlings accomplishments (and Lil' Miss acquiring a new technomagickal gadget) :)

As an aside my home interwebs are been shockingly unreliable at the moment, so been updating at work when i can.

I'm off on leave from tonight until next Tuesday (awa doon tae Glasgae [Scots: Travelling down to Glasgow] Fri-Sun) so if home webs continue to stymie me, please bot as necessary.

Maxim steps to the middle of the road as Kikinnin and Ryan open the door revealing the umber hulk within. Brushing back his duster he reveals a pair of stag handled fire sticks loaded with steel core bullets. Each hand sharpened to a chisel point, specially made for hard cases such as this.

Chewing on his cigar, he squints into the gloom, "come on out hulk, make my day."

will that work? :) admitted a little bit of literary license taken with him.

Haha - perfect. You should be running Maxim mate.

It's time to level up to 6 :)

Woooooo!

@ GM Rusteg:
I've updated my profile and stuff with the following changes:

• CLASS: one more level as sorcerer
⋯ ¤ FCB: one extra level 1 spell
⋯ ¤ HP: +5 (4 for class, 1 for CON bonus) - total is now 34
• SKILL POINTS: Craft (Alchemy) +1, Handle Animal +1, Perception +1, Spellcraft +1, Survival +1, and Use Magic Device +1
• SPELLS:
⋯ ¤ Level 1: Shocking Grasp, Vanish
⋯ ¤ Level 2: Resist Energy (draconic bonus bloodline spell), and Scorching Ray
⋯ ¤ Note: normal fire-damage Scorching Ray instead of bloodline version, so I can freely change between fire and acid damage

--------------------

Those changes should give Juraan some more firepower for the party.
Muahahaha! Diabolical laughter, and diabolical acting too, I should think

Huzzah! I guess this settles the question of which HeroLab profile to rebuild first (since I lost all of my HL information when my old laptop died)... :)

I keep my frequently edited files Dropbox.
Including my HL profiles.
For just such a situation.

Mind you, I'm paranoid about the possibility of data loss.
I had three (!) hard drive crashes in rapid succession years ago.
So I always make sure I backup all my data frequently.

Yeah, lesson definitely learned. Thankfully I actually didn't lose anything super important - I can rebuild my HL profiles with time, I can re-download the games I had, and I can rebuild what bits of my music collection that I didn't already have backed up! I *do* keep my PFS chronicle sheets on Drive so I luckily didn't lose any of those.

Anyhoo...on to the good stuff!

Level Up - Oracle 6th
+8 HP (Half HD + 1 = 5 + 3 Con)
+1 BAB
+1 Fort, Reflex, Will
+6 Skill Points (Diplomacy, Kn. Planes x2, Perception, Sense Motive, Spellcraft)
+2 Background Skill Points (Kn. Geography, Kn. History)
+1 Orison Known - Spark
+1 2nd Level Spell Casting/Day
Gain 3rd Level Spells - Cure Serious Wounds, Prayer
Gain Mystery Spell - Daylight
Swapped Bless for Shield of Faith
FCB = +1 Skill Point

I think that's everything. The only thing that would've made 6th level better would've been another revelation and another feat - but those happen at 7th so soon...ish :)

@ Marigold:
I can't remember if I asked or not, but what (arbitrary) language do you use for Celestial in your posts?
It only shows up as boxes at my end.
I want to see if I can figure out how to make those characters show up properly (just because).

Normally I'd use Armenian but I believe both JJ and Ryan have been using Kannada when they speak Celestial so I've been using that for the sake of consistency :)

It's working now for me.
I just had to install the fonts through Synaptic (a Linux package manager)

ಮತ್ತು ಅಲ್ಲಿ ಬಹಳ ಸಂತೋಷವಾಯಿತು
And there was much rejoicing

Woo hoo!
Ranger-6
BAB +1 so BAB is now +6/+1 for multiple attacks.
Combat style- improved two weapon fighting. If he can hit and they don't have DR, JJ turns into a blender!
Saves all go up one too!
HP (we doing PFS style? so 6+con for ranger?) 6+1+1(FC)
Skills - 7 points (6 for ranger, 1 for human) +2 BS
Survival
Stealth
Perception
Disable Device
Acrobatics
Swim
know(nobility)
(background)
Know(planes)
Know(geography)

And my MW sheet looks like it reverted or something again. OR maybe I never finsihed fixing it up.

Can anyone remember when we went up to level 3?
I can't see to find the feat I took then.

Oh, heck!

After sermonising about backing up my data, I realized I accidentally
nuked the Cherry Tree notes file I had for Juraan originally.

I couldn't remember if I had a comprehensive list of languages we use in
Google translate for our posts. Here's the list I have from memory:
• Abyssal = Gujarati
• Celestial = Kannada
• Draconic = Georgian
• Dwarven = Danish
• Halfling = Corsican
• Terran = Yiddish

Does that look right?
And/or did I miss any?

Level 6 increase

Cleric +1 - lvl 5

HP +5+2(Con)= 7 + 40 = 47 total

FCB = +1 skill point

BAB & Saves - no change

Spells +2 lvl 3 spells & +1 lvl 3 domain spell
Domain Spell - Fly
3rd Lvl Spells - TBD, depending on the situation, Remove Disease and Remove Curse, daily in town

Skills:
+4 Adventure Skills
Fly +2, Diplomacy +1, Sense motive +1
+2 Background Skills
+1 Craft Jewelry, +1 Kn:History

on a side note, during his time off, Ryan spent time in prayer at the church, to return back to a normal channel instead of the variant...

Channel Positive energy - +1d6, new total +3d6

GM, travel with family for holiday, will update Ryan's tag line tomorrow.

Woot! Level Up :)

@Juraan: I've been using Dutch for Gnomish throughout.

Right back to business...

Level 6 Advancement

+1 Level in Rogue (Unchained)

HP: d8+1 (5) +1 CON = 6HP + 28 = 34HP new total.

BAB: +1

SAVES: Reflex +1

Class Features: Evasion & Rogue Talent (Grit chosen - gains Amateur Gunslinger feat & 1 Grit feat.

Skills (10 Adventuring Ranks gained): Bluff +1; Climb +1; Diplomacy +1; Disable Device +1; Intimidate +1; Knowledge (Local) +1; Perception +1; Sleight of Hand +1; Sense Motive +1; Stealth +1. (2 Background Ranks gained): Lore (Jzadirune)+1; Profession (Merchant) +1

@ Maxim: thanks!

Last level, January 22nd, 2017 :)

Internet woes will on my part continue - home webs still acting up and now work server won't allow access to paizo! Techpocaypse!

Can still post with phone but it's a massive chew so bear with me/bot Maxim if I slow things up!

I couldn't log on to Paizo for a while this morning either.

With Maxim's advice, JJ will ensure that he has his jewelery as well as the finery from the dance upon him. Strapped to either side will be his paired shortswords. Armor however he'll leave behind.

Dressed to kill, eh? :o

Okay, that got a laugh.

Can't pass up one like that!

Hey folks, just a heads-up that I'll be heading out town Thursday morning to a convention and likely won't be back until either very late Sunday night or very early Monday morning. I'll have my Kindle and phone with me but I'll likely not be posting at all during that time. Please feel free to bot me as needed while I'm gone :)

Have fun!
