Jon's HP roll: 1d8+1
Jon will take Brew Potion as his 3rd level feat, with the special effect that he brews teas. Also, he took ranks in Knowledge: Geography to reflect his wanderings.
"When this is finished steeping, you guys are in so much trouble. It's not even funny. Does anyone have a wedge of lemon or a sugar cube?"
My life's going through a bit of a rough spot (call it a quarter-life crisis), although (generally) I've still got free time. This probably won't have any affect on my posting rate (if anything I'm feeling better than I have in months, but that might be short lived), but I want to bring it up so you'll have context in the event of a sudden absence on my part and also so there'll be context for any other announcement (the summer may get pretty hairy).
That said, I'll definitely be busy for the next three or four days.
Well things got a little worse, now they're a bit better. I'll need another couple of days to get some stuff in order and catch up, though (and maybe even get Brodgar's inventory accurate).
No problem there. Glad you're still in. We've hit a bit of a lull for the Midwinter Festival. Once that's done, I'll probably jump ahead to Spring unless the party decides there's something they want to get done immediately.
HP Roll:
Probably going to take the good, old-fashioned Power Attack. Not the fanciest thing in the world, but hitting things seems to be what I do best.
HP Roll:
HP Roll >
Also, I am thinking about two possible prestige classes for the next level advancement > Horizon Walker or Nature's Warden. Which do you think would work best in this campaign?
Another thing or two > I need to choose a 3rd level Feat, and am considering having an animal companion. Thoughts on these, please.
Not sure if you're looking for general commentary, or just from the DM here, but I prefer horizon walker and it's hard to beat the cats for animal companions.
Also: Level 3 hp for Magnus
Hedgeknight: Either one works, though I prefer the horizon walker. It's just such a cool class, and gives an internal impetus to the party to get out in the world. I agree with Magnus about feline companions, but then wolves are also good, especially when they're not tripping your sorcerer and tearing him into bite-sized pieces.
Either one Jinjer can ride. Which is very very good for an archery ranger who gets mounted archery.

Why bother when you can full attack while your mount is moving anyway. :P
Thanks for the advice > I was leaning more toward horizon walker anyway, and was considering doing the riding mount...but may not go that route. Shadowborn, since we have some down time, would this be a good time for Jinjer to find an animal companion?
If so, how do you want me to go about this?

Sure, go ahead and ruin my joke, whydoncha?

Don't you get the companion at 4th level? I think at this level Jinjer chooses her shifter's blessing.
I forgot that Jinjer was a shapeshifter. Aren't they only allowed to have the natural weapon style? Unless I missed something during character creation.
Admittedly, I'm a little jealous that you're going down the prestige class route.
Out of curiosity, would the Book of Iron be an appropriate masterwork tool for the Knowledge(religion) skill? I wanted to emphasis a bit more on Stilgar's priestlier aspects.

Actually, I decided not to go the "shifter" route. I had already forgotten about the combat style I was supposed to take at 2nd level anyway. So, if it's okay, I'd rather go the horizon walker route.
Jealous? Of little ol' me? Ah...Stilgar...shucks. :)
Hey SD. I get a new cantrip this level. Can I take Jolt, as ray of frost/acid orb but electric damage?

Sounds good to me.
RE: purchases: Magnus would like to set aside 225 GP for scroll crafting and purchase the following: compass, magnifying glass, everburning torch, invisible ink(average), skeleton key
Here's a diplomacy check to know who to talk to about the more clandestine items:
And a bluff check if I get caught. "No officer, I was looking for the market, not the black market"
Magnus is good and can get his merchandise. No thumbscrews for him today.
Stilgar will pick up a grappling hook, silk rope, smelling salts, and an extra healer's kit (76 gp, I believe). (Speaking of which, I can't remember whether I exhausted my old one's uses on Bronda's goons way back at the inn.)
It's mostly for fluff, but provided it's available, he'll also spend 300 gp on the components that would be necessary for pimping out his weapon into something a little shinier with masterwork transformation.
Alright > still trying to determine what to do.
Here's what I'm thinking > find an animal companion that I can also ride and train in mounted combat.
If that won't work, I will take Dodge, then Mobility, and work toward Shot-on-the-Run and more from there.
Oh, and I'm definitely going for Horizon Walker with the next level up.
If that type of animal companion will not work with the game, she will buy a mule for hauling all the gear she wants to buy. :)
Thoughts?
Jinjer will attempt to find and purchase the following:
Masterwork backpack
Earplugs
Bloodblock
Smelling salts
Silk rope
Potion of CLW
Gear to go with riding mount if needed
Hey, was I able to purchase all of this stuff before we left town?
Yep. None of that will be a problem.
Wounded Earth to Kalaya: You're needed on set.
Sorry, I'm here!
S'okay. I was just worried I'd lost you right after recruiting you.
Hmmm Bogdar seems to have wandered off. A PM perhaps?
PM sent. Awaiting a reply.
I apologize for yet another prolonged and unannounced absence. I've been handling everything poorly of late, and this was no exception.
I'm currently dealing with college admissions, a (potential) move, and cleaning up the fallout from some family issues that reared their head at the best/worst possible time. Everything's come to a head this summer, basically.
I'm really torn about the game - I've missed enough that it's a bit difficult to follow, and in all truth I'm not sure I'll have the time or spare effort to catch up, especially since the next couple of weeks will either be extremely busy or supremely disappointing. However, when I was engaged, I did very much enjoy it.
Ultimately, given that I'll almost certainly be harried and busy for the entire month of July, I think it may be best for me to step out. I really did have some fun with all of ya'll, but I just don't think I can really do my part.
We'll miss you, and I think I can speak for the group in saying that you'd be welcome back if you ever so decided. Even as a cameo of sorts.
What Magnus said. I'll find a convenient spot for you to leave the party, but if things calm down later and you'd like to jump back in, just let me know.
I really do appreciate that offer. If things go anywhere near as planned, everything should be over and done with by August, so I'll duck my head back in then.
Where, oh where have all my players gone? Just because I'm letting Brodgar off the hook, that doesn't mean the rest of you can slack off. *cracks whip*
I thought the giant magical head was pretty cool myself. Has it scared everyone else off? D:
I'm just going with the flow. A talking magiccal head is poor competition to what's inside Tarrana's head or dancing before her eyes.
I don't know. I've got people M.I.A. in both groups. I'll just keep the head shouting until it gets someone's attention. I'm just amused that I've got both groups in the exact same area, just at different times.
Red group: You're in the past. No spoilers!
Blue group: You're in the future. No spoilers!
Well now you've just tempted me to paradox the timeline by leaving funny poems on the wall.
I've already had my spin at the giant head. Like Tarrana, I'm letting someone else take the reigns. I've got the answer to the question that was most pressing to me, and I can't think of much else to ask right now. Though, I fully intend to come back here. and often.

Well, they're already pretty baffled, so I don't think that will do much to make it worse.

Do what you like. It's your hearing, after all. ;)
Will Gaius is rather short on questions at the moment. Maybe something about this earlier group that we seem to be following but he has heard enough about fey/cursed magic to be VERY careful around what looks to be something for nothing.

Just want to let you and my fellow players know that I too will be leaving the game. Normally I just disappear for awhile and show back up, but that is irresponsible and unfair to everyone, so this is my official "exit" post.
Thanks for the opportunity to game in your world. My leaving is nothing against you as a DM. It is more my dissatisfaction with the Pathfinder system. I'm selling all of my books (I have them listed over on Dragonsfoot.org) and heading back to my 1E & 2E roots. Best of luck to you all and good gaming in the future!- Gary

Sorry to hear it. It's been fun having you in the game. You're welcome at my virtual table any time.
It's a shame to see you two go, we'll definitely miss you guys.
That leaves the four of us, with only one of us really being martially competent. Think we'll be alright at this point?
Still waiting for some signs of life from Jon and Liam in Blue Group.
Would this be a good time to conglomerate the two groups? what would that give us for a total? 8?
