No problem. :) I've been distracted myself.
It's okay - I had time at day's end, so it's all good. Good to see you posting, Letswalo.
Okay it's 1 am here and I'm off to bed. Will check the boards again in my morning. :)
Tomorrow (my Saturday/your Friday) I'll be at my great niece's 2nd birthday party. I will post/respond in my late afternoon once I'm back and settled.
Happy weekend to you! :)
Letswalo is content to stay out of the damp for a time.
No worries. I'll update this game tomorrow morning.
I'm still not feeling 100% and it's already after midnight in Oz and I need to rest/sleep.
Thorongil, I hope you're feeling better.
See you in my morning!
Take care all!
I just want to sleep as I've had an exhausting and turbulent day. I will post in my morning - promise. I'm sorry for making you wait for me, however lately RL isn't being very kind to me and mine. I'll find a better balance soon and do better in my GM duties. Thanks. :)
I shall refer you to my prior post. ;)
Haha. Thanks. I'm not good with Monday as they always seem burdened by some drama. I'm better today. Thanks, Letswalo!
I've made a few posts and the Witterwils are fine with your party remaining at their farmstead until morning, if that's your desire.
I leave any further rp up to you at this point. :) I'll make/post new further responses tonight.
A query on this ability:
Cover Identity (Ex)
Spies rarely advertise the nature of their work. A spy may select one Craft, Perform, or Profession skill and gain a +1 competence bonus on checks. Additionally, the spy may make checks as though trained in that skill, even if she has no ranks in it. Alternatively, instead of a skill, the spy can choose one weapon or one type of armor and suffer only half the usual penalties for nonproficiency. The spy can decide to adopt a new cover identity at any time. When she changes cover identities, the benefits switch over to the new skill or proficiency after 24 hours.
Would Letswalo get the class skill bonus for a skill he selects for his cover identity?
I don't think 'Cover identities' in themselves provide a spy with additional skills, proficiencies, or class features.
To me, as I have read and understood the ability, it's part of the spy's improvisation/cover story - they're impersonating some skills to fool, distract or impress a casual observer, yet under heavy scrutiny may not withstand the critical observation (thus being able to make the checks as though trained even with no skill ranks and gaining a +1 competence bonus to reward this practiced/cunning mimicry). So, this does not mean they are automatically entitled to the +3 class skill bonus reserved for someone actually putting in the hard work, study and training in regard to the given skills.
So, you can pick up either a Craft, Perform and Profession skill with 0 rank, the ability modifier and a +1 bonus for trickery/guile, until you put a rank in said skill and then you can also gain the +3 class bonus.
Sound reasonable? :)
The spy can decide to adopt a new cover identity at any time. When she/he changes cover identities, the benefits switch over to the new skill or proficiency after 24 hours.
Hmm...In a real life world mechanic, I think it would take more than 24 hours to switch to a new cover identity/skill and make it semi-believable (especially at level 1). Unfortunately, I find that Pathfinder doesn't generally take such things into consideration when creating their rules. So, if the spy can show some directed attempt to pick up a different cover story skill over a period of 24 hours then that is fine and can change the cover identity skill the following day.
That's all quite fair, just checking. :)
It's quite late, here, and, I'm headed to bed. I only had time to make a post in Dain's game tonight.
Will update this game in my morning. Thanks. :)
That's fine, Ariarh. I am looking at multiple threads with double digit unread posts at the moment.
Hey, guys. This game will be updated tomorrow. I took cough medicine and I'm a bit groggy and need to sleep/rest.
Rest well!
Thanks, Letswalo.
I can't edit the campaign info tab due to some Paizo maintenance error/problem, so please use the Current Map link on game page and/or here for access until I can access that tab. Thanks.
Thanks, Letswalo.

GM - I have been having the same issue lately.
If you have the time, please let the website administrator know; they didn't do much for me when I asked to get my site fixed and it has been nearly a month.
Perhaps if they know this is an issue for multiple people they will fix it sooner?
It appears to be a common issue, and ongoing.
Edit: Google slides, me, and my phone do not seem to get along. Apologies for moving the map image.
Just waiting on Thorongil to take his action in Round 1 before I summarise the round and move forward. Thanks. :)
Now where were those rolls a round or two ago? ;)
Still having issues with editing the Campaign Info page/tab, so I've sent Paizo an email letting them know what the problem is and asking for an ETA. I'll let you know if/when I receive a reply.
For now, I'll keep posting Maps on discussion for easy access/reference. :)
Thorongil, thank you for reminding me about that house rule.
It’s Dain’s House rule and I’m so pleased he gave himself permission to use it in my game. ;)
I’d rather someone asked me about such things first than assume they can go ahead and implement a house rule. Thanks kindly.
I received a response back from Paizo in regards to my email about the problems with updating the Campaign Info tab on games.
Hi Suzanna!
I apologize for the inconvenience. Our tech team has been working on it, and we plan to have the issue solved by tomorrow.
Sounds positive!
I’ll update the game in my morning. This flu is on week 3 and kicking my butt. Super tired and will be going to bed early.
Thanks for your patience. :)
Oh, right. Oops.
And I hope that you recover soon. Flu is miserable.
The cough is what's doing me in. I can barely breathe and I think I've bruised some ribs. Thanks, Letswalo.
The game's been updated.

Clarifying the Local Knowledge check:
None of you have ever been to this region before, especially not to Pridon's Hearth. You have gotten bits of general information from the recruiters where you started from in Golarion, but even they do not know much of anything. The only ones really in the know are the locals of the colony. To gain more knowledge, it's best to get to know the locals and ask specific questions. So far, the Witterwils' have mentioned the Song'O tribe in passing conversation (the night before you left for the fort). No one asked them any questions in relation to them, however. So, if you make the Know. Local check untrained then the highest DC is a 10 at present. If you are in a situation where there is a library or some resource that you can utilise, then I'm willing to allow the Untrained roll to include your INT modifier. Since you're at the Fort and there's no resource there to help you, I am not permitting Untrained Know. Local to be above a 10. However, you may use the brief info about the Song'O's to hypothesise that these Halfling spears you have found could possibly belong to this tribe being you have heard they are known to be local to this region. :)

Aside/Addendum: The Campaign Info tab is fixed and I can update it now. Yay!
Hello? Just waiting to see what you guys will do next? I'm needing the PCs to be proactive and push the game forward and not my DMNPCs (otherwise it isn't much fun). ;) Just a reminder that if a player isn't going to be around on any given day/s to just throw up a discussion post saying as much so I know not to expect any or much posting on that day/those days.
Thanks kindly.
It's been a busy day hence the lack of posting on my end.
No worries, but thanks for letting me know, Letswalo. I hope you’re at least are having or had a relaxing evening. :)
I will update the game in my morning.
Night!
Now I am. :)
Good to hear, Letswalo. :)
I moved your tokens on the map, since you guys didn't. If you'd rather be standing elsewhere, please move your token accordingly. Thanks.
Cheers, had headed to run a f2f game. :)
I hope the f2F game went well. :)
Due to having little time to post and still fighting off this bug, I won't be able to update this game until my Monday (your Sunday). I want to thank you for your patience. Hope you have a good weekend.
It did, thanks. :)
And I hope you are feeling well soon.
I appreciate the well wishes, Letswalo. My health isn't improving, so this board won't be updated until my weekend (I'm not gaming at all for the next three days). I just need to take care of me right now before the festive holiday responsibilities hit me. I'm honestly sorry for the hold up, but it can't be helped unfortunately.
Thank you kindly.
All the best Ariarh.
I had to catch up on my other games today after my time off sick. I am doing that during work hours, so it's been a bit of a juggle.
I will update this game much later tonight, my time. Thanks!
Glad to see you back, Ariarh. :)
Thanks, Letswalo. Still not 100% well (I'm around 75%), but I can manage the boards and posting now.
:)
That's something to be glad for. :) If you feel the need to take more time off, absolutely do. Notice is preferable but ill is ill.
Well now, that fight with the centipedes was certainly anti-climatic. Haha. ;)
Even without the high ground, our clerk did fine. ;)
After someone patches up Thorongil's bite marks...
Letswalo: What bite marks do you mean? The centipedes in the surprise round failed to bite either you or Thorongil.
You're correct, I misremembered. More rest required!
We could flavour it as Letswalo thought he saw the centipede bite Thorongil.
No problem. I'll play that out now. ;)
I'll update this game tonight my time. Sorry - very busy Monday, here.
