Just to give everyone a heads up. I have training that I need to attend in Syracues NY. I'm leaving today and should be back for the f2f game on Wednesday. I'm bringing my laptop but I'm not sure if I'll be getting online much. Josh feel free to post for A'loran if I'm holding up the game.

I think I added what you wanted. Let me know if that's incorrect or you want me to add anything different.
It looks like you left out your +1 to attack with daggers. And your basic attacks with the short sword and dagger should use Strength instead of Dexterity. And the shuriken attack bonus is short by one.
Prankster(male half fiend half dragon half orc half elf and TWICE the man for it! bard 6 scientist 5)
it keeps you using your "at-wills" which are mostly Dex
There are B's and S's on the map!!!!!!!!!!!!! eek!

I'm confused as to why S1 was alive again when we accounted for DivChallenge damage on S2?
Did S1 intitially take 11 points of Divine chalenge damage because grappling isn't considered an attack?
Just curious. - am loving the encounter

I mistakenly applied your attack to S1. When you pointed out the mistake, I took the damage off of S1 and applied it to S2.

and i get a surprising amount of lumps from it. I fell thru the stage the other day and mangled my leg pretty well, and yesterday I pulled a neck muscle in a dive across stage (it was a bigger stage than we are used too so I had to stretch the landing).
It's all worth it though when you get paid to kiss girls, scream abuse at people and bow to applause :)

Who's better?
My wife and I took some fencing classes together a while back... She's dangerous because she's random. She still wants to do more. Its a little hard right now because she's like 7 months pregnant. I use to teach fencing back in my college days. Don't worry its not that impressive. It was after I took two semesters of it and they needed instructors.
I did draw blood at a competition though.
Unfortanatly I had to sell my Sabre for beer... It wasn't even good beer. *sniff* I still miss it.
Prankster(male half fiend half dragon half orc half elf and TWICE the man for it! bard 6 scientist 5)
She's a bit better but we both have similar styles
We both just passed our Rapier and Unarmed exam!! YAY
Hopeing to get some work on Spartacus and Narnia: Voyage of the Dawntreader now :)
Question: are you folks content with posting the die rolls before hand (how we've been doing it), or would you prefer to post the roll with your action?

I think its easier this way... but it would also be cool to see what you roll for each action. But signing in to that dice rolling website for each action would kind of be a pain. Too bad Paizo doesn't have an app for their message boards.
Another thought. Could you add the current map to a signiature line? That way we won't have to go searching for the map link each time. Then whenever you add a new map just change the url in your sig line

Paizo does not currently allow a signature line, but the map link is always in my DM profile. If you'd like I'll try to add the map link to the initiative chart.
Prankster(male half fiend half dragon half orc half elf and TWICE the man for it! bard 6 scientist 5)
oh cool! I didn't know it was in your profile. I favourite them.
the other PbP i've done are roll as you go and I admit to being a bit dubious when we started with the preroll system. But I'm totally cool with it now. It saves time and there is a good air of mystery. I'm cool either way. Happy to stick with what we have though unless it's easier on Ghetto for us to roll-our-own.
Are you saying Anmuspi is quiting? Looks like only me and cyber from the original team up. That being said I'm enjoying it loads.

I don't think he's quitting. He works out of his home, where he's also looking after his 4 y.o. daughter most of the time. He's skipped a couple of f2f's recently too, in an effort to get out from under that other stuff, but I guess things are hectic right now. I'm hoping he'll be back soon.
Prankster(male half fiend half dragon half orc half elf and TWICE the man for it! bard 6 scientist 5)
she should totally roll up a character. Who better to play D&D on a computer than a 4yo. She could play a gnome ("RWAH! I'm a monster!)
Anmuspi is done. Work has ended him. I'm going to ask the folks in the other pbp's I'm playing in for a sub. Is there any role you folks particularly want filled? Or do any of you know a player looking for a 4e pbp? I'll npc Anmuspi until we decide.
Prankster(male half fiend half dragon half orc half elf and TWICE the man for it! bard 6 scientist 5)
Hey i might. I'll see.
Super sad to loose Anmuspi :(

Yeah, it sucks, but if he frees himself from the bonds of capitalism he's welcome back at any time.
So, do you have somebody else or not. I'll wait to troll the boards until you're certain.

I got a turn down from my guy ... too much on their plate with a new play and new baby. Go figger! PbP is a perfect occupation for a new 'stay at home' dad
We'll have you show up right now. You approached the ramshackle monastary nestled in the hills just after dark. The front gate stood open and there were battered suits of plate armor in the grass before them. Upon entering you were immediately confronted by a stone arch sculpted in the shape of a roaring dragon. A moving light was visible from an intersection of hallsways beyond the arch so you went that way. From the intersection you could see a silver scaled dragonborn female at the west end of the hall. She wears scale armor and carries sword and shield, a sunrod is tucked into her belt and a holy symbol of Bahamut hangs from her neck. She appears to be confering with somebody behind her.
Go ahead and post in the campaign thread. You are currently in square O18 on the map. I suggest introducing yourself and posting a description, but it's up to you how to play your character. If you choose not to reveal yourself yet, just post your actions in a spoiler.
I hope you have fun, and don't be afraid to give me any comments or suggestions.
Oh, does anyone have any ideas for the names of *Large City* and *Generic Cabal*?
I'll have something for that within a couple days (but I'm also open to suggestions). I've left things outside of the Vale vague for now. I'd like to give it a thought before I make things concrete.

I'm a bit "??" about vestiges but the Cabal should have something to do with that armoured guy Vestige you've got. If it's the ex-king you could use some Visier or Cabinet to style yourselves after the court of the king.
re: cities - I think we've only heard of the Nentir Vale so far (all towns).
Good idea for the cabal. Maybe "The Harbingers of Elidyr"?
On a side note, vestiges are the remnants of various powerful beings that no longer have any direct presence in the known mulitverse, but they can still somehow give out power. The fluff I can find about the vestiges:
Spoiler:
King Elidyr: The last king of Nerath, the last great empire. There was a Gnoll uprising, Elidyr and all his vassals rode out to fight them, and most of the vassals and all his sons fell in combat. Elidyr fought against the Ruler of Ruin, king of the gnolls. They fought, Elidyr's sword shattered in combat but he still managed to beat the Ruler, then he died and Nerath fell without a ruler a few weeks later. He's still a bit angry over that last bit, so he never actually went off to the Shadowfell and now he gives power to whoever asks.
Zutwa: An ancient being of pure life force, it stopped existing long ago to destroy a primordial of pure destruction. Of course, you can't kill something made of pure life, so he's still around slightly.
Khaeleth: He was once a divine entity, but he gave until all that was left of him was a spirit. Then he gave his spirit away to someone who needed it more, and he disappeared. Still, he never actually died.
Prankster(male half fiend half dragon half orc half elf and TWICE the man for it! bard 6 scientist 5)
what is Har anyway? I usually bring flowers or a nice wine.
Sounds great though :) from your description of your power effects the King is your main go-to vestige.
I take it vestiges are dead gods (or dead things-with-almost-divine-status).
So what's up with Rolf? Haven't seen a post in some time.
Prankster(male half fiend half dragon half orc half elf and TWICE the man for it! bard 6 scientist 5)
It's been over a week. Do we need a new Rolf?
Prankster(male half fiend half dragon half orc half elf and TWICE the man for it! bard 6 scientist 5)
I know it's the pitfall of PbP but ...
... either Rolf faints until end of the encounter (or he gets back to us) OR he makes a basic ranged/melee attack. 3 round delays are starting to piss me off especially when other characters start dropping

Sorry, I'll start acting for him. I know I haven't been posting as frequently as I should have recently, so I didn't want to jump on somebody else for for it. I guess I'll start asking around for a new leader.

Apol's if I sounded like a cranky pants. I know it's more frustrating for a DM than a player, and you're doing an excellent job. I've been filming for the Australian Defence Force so maybe their grouchyness is rubbing off on me (and the 6am starts eek).
Josh you mentioned something about not using the shield spell.
My thoughts are is thats what my character would do for the first hit of an encounter. And since your showing the result of your attacks I don't think my character knows what that number is so I'd still use the spell. I don't want to meta game it.
But if your saying that a character can tell how effective an incoming attack is looking and can make adjustments on the fly on using an ability then.... I guess i'm asking what direction your going on this.

It's ok to metagame this. Use a boost only if it will help.

We're cool. Actually, I've been wondering if I'm doing a good job. It's a lot easier to gauge how stuff is going over at the table and adjust on the fly. Plus, when the real world gets hectic, this is the easiest thing to put off for a few. So, I really need feedback on this game. Not just now, but constantly. If there's any part of how I'm running that could be improved or an aspect that you enjoy, it would help to know. I'm not certain on how these things usually go, but it feels like I've lost a lot of people (and two are my friends in the real world).
Hey Rolf is still around..sorry guys Real Life hit hard, had to take an emergency flight out of town to be with family for a week... all is well, I have to work this weekend, but I will catch up and post soon sorry guys....

Glad to hear it, and I understand. It had been over a week and we just assumed the worst. FYI, I just had Rolf use turn undead on his last action. I can play him out until your set.
Prankster(male half fiend half dragon half orc half elf and TWICE the man for it! bard 6 scientist 5)
Darn board demons at my post.
For the record I'm loving this. I've had 3 PbP's die since this one started and I think that you can think this a long running success Josh. Players do come an go and games slow down but that;s the nature of PbP. Well done man.
Welcome back Rolfie :^)
If you need me to do something different or more or new let me know ... I'll be happy to help. I'm filming a ridiculous amount of hours at the moment but always keen to post when I get some time off set.
