Hey all, just letting you know I won't be posting much for the next couple of days. Tomorrow I'm running back-to-back PFS slots at a local convention, and the day after is my birthday, so I'll have family stuff going on. Try not to move too far without me!
PS - Nice to meet you, E! I'm also a big fan of bards (as Olmek and Reginald could tell you...)
Glad to have you! Go green! (aaaaand now we have party backstabbing....) :)

Side note, I have always been an arcane gamer, recently delving into melee focused... Someday I want to roll a deep gnome rogue... It's almost cheating how good they can be

Well, it is a 24RP race to be fair.
I always wondered where you find that score Lothar... For all of my gaming history you would think I could figure that one out...
The Advanced Race Guide is where the RP values are found.
Just a heads up for everybody: I'm going to be moving to a new place today, so the only access to the internet for a little while will be at work. My posting will be limited in that time frame.
Thank you for pointing that out. It hasn't been altered yet, my character sheet should be just the normal rogue template.
And yes. They are kind of silly, +2 AC, +2 to all saves, SR, stealth bonuses. And all in such a tiny package. ;D
Hrmmm...
So I may have let a little too much of my own personality into my character... This is the first time I have played a dwarf and it shows. I just looked up Torag (should have done it before we got into this) and read the part that says "Dwarves see Sarenrea's willingness to forgive as weakness and folly"
...
Oops... That doesn't make much sense I suppose for a holy torag warrior. This might be a good opportunity for some course correction. I will admit that I was worried that the merciless slaughter could potentially affect my alignment, etc, but I guess now reading that, Reginald's assertion was much more in-line with what my character should have been doing.
Anyways, sorry for not having a full grasp of what my character should have been right off the get go, but hopefully we can use this as a cool spot for character development!
It is my duty to instruct the younger generations. :)
Actually, I REALLY liked your 'we're dwarves, not drow, we should be better than this' schtick - it was (IMO) EXACTLY what a paladin (forgiving or not) should be saying. After all, there's no question about forgiving them, it's about whether we're going to slaughter a bunch of people who've surrendered, or deliver them up to the svirfneblin for judgement.
Grimdahl could care less (nature, red in tooth and claw), but I'd be disappointed if a paladin felt the same way!
Great bit of RP. Just my 2c.
Oh and Reginald, I'm really enjoying your character as well!
I have to agree with Grimdahl, it's a cool conflict that I'd expect a group of good to neutral dwarves to have.
Pravic's nature clashing with the stricter edicts of Torag's worship will be a fun thing to play with in the future. :)
And here I thought Nurin would question the order simply due to his being unaccustomed to such a thing. Actually, given his lack of traditional upbringing, Nurin might be more NG than LG. I can see him at times acting quite chaotically.
If Olmek is ok with it, I can change him.
This is my second attempt at playing LG - my first, with whom Reginald is familiar, is my summoner with his angel paladin eidolon. I have to say, it's really forcing me to stop and think about my character's actions. So if I ever don't post, particularly in a deep RP-heavy situation, that's why - I'm trying to think of how a LG priest of Torag would respond.
That, or I've had another meltdown and haven't been able to get my head straight. At any rate, you guys have been pretty patient with me. Especially Olmek. I know I'm a pretty flighty player. >.>
I agree Ingrid! It is way more challenging than I thought. That is half the fun though :) The way I keep thinking about it for this game is to focus on justice and the law. In this case, we don't know the law of their city, which is why Pravic is asking them about it. He will be happy to carry out whatever righteous judgment Geirni hands down however, if it is requested of him...
Just so you guys know, these aren't Salvatore drow. They don't worship Lolth and their women aren't auto-clerics. In face, the Baroness is a magus.
:(
That isn't to say that they don't mirror those drow pretty closely. They're still the matriarchal, greedy, backstabbing, spiteful dark elves you love to hate.
:)
Sorry, guys. I had a long day at work. I'll get this started tomorrow.

Well you are playing the drow; I'd regard it as Method acting ;)
Ha! That was funny

Hey, guys. Sorry about the slow down. I have a friend staying the week at my apartment while he waits to move into his place. I'll have something up tomorrow.
Sorry guys i'm still here. Endeavoring to get a post up today.
No worries, Lothar.
I'm working on a post right now.
Ugh. Finally. Thanks for being so patient, everybody.
It's not a problem. I haven't been good about posting here either, a problem I seek to remedy. I've just been having major writer's block here.
Hemlock, Reginald? Are we in Sandpoint now? ;)
Oops... wrong name. :P
Sorry Mr dead sheriff man!
I'm just giving you a hard time. :)
Not sure where we are at with this. I just assume that Bali would continuously train soldiers for at least 8 hours each day until the battle.
How detailed do you want us to get with this plan? I'm not sure what kind of mechanics there is for mass combat, but this seems like it is going to be crazy fun... I have Salvatorian (is that a word) mass battles pictured in my head, Breunor leading the point of the wedge... It's not sacrilege to bring up forgotten realms in a pathfinder setting is it? Anyways, looking forward to this!
Forgotten Realms is what got me into this kind of thing, so no, not sacrilege by me. :)
Personally, I'm still getting over a particularly dark time for my mental health, as well as adjusting to my recent engagement. Also, I'm horrible when it comes to tactics. :P
Very best wishes to you on both counts
Same here, wish you the best.
I am still stalking the thread, ready whenever.

I don't think that it's a secret that I'm struggling with this game creatively. Unfortunately, I have a nasty habit of biting off more than I can chew combined with a tendency to not move forward with something unless I can do it in a way I find acceptable.
I'm not giving up on this game though. There have just been some hard lessons to learn from it and as a result, my posting has suffered. I hope I haven't ruined the game for you guys.
No worries! I'm not going anywhere :)

I'm always here if you need a sounding board. Otherwise I echo pravic. :)
You're good with me. I suspect this Drow attack will take lots of staging and planning.
Typical - it would be right when I'm in the middle of a hearing that everything picks up the pace ;)
Sorry for silence, will post in detail Friday. Just leave some drow for me, eh?
Great to see this pick up again. Just got wayfinder and wanted to post from it (finally unchained myself from iPhone).
So much easier

I wonder what the possibility of disguising ourselves as the Svirfneblin would be, so as not to stick out, and possibly trick the Drow.
Not good, me thinks. We can always give it a try though.
Have you no pride?! We are dwarves! We have no need to skulk like drow, we our enemies!!!
;)
