It feels somewhere tedering between slow and just right. I am not about to complain, move at whatever pace everyone is comfortable with. Just want to point out I am somewhat anxious to get through the first book because that's where things died off last time I played this game.
I agree with Jorland. I'm happy with the current pace, but I wouldn't complain if it picked up just a bit.
It's tricky business, and you really just have to follow the group most of the time. There's times when for whatever reason everyone picks up on a bit of rp and will go for 2 weeks real time to describe the happenings of one evening - and as long as the RP is good there's nothing wrong with that. You can't expect that to always be the case, though, so when we're not posting heavily feel free to keep things moving.
Sorry guys, I am method acting with Walthus... he is the marsh warden... :)
Going to be away until Sunday at the cottage. Have a good weekend!
Sorry everybody for the delay. I got the flu. I should be back to normal by friday
Sorry to hear about your flu. Take your time and get better.
Get well soon!
Regarding the map thing. My comment about not knowing where the gobbos were refers mainly to the individual goblins rather than where the group is coming from. The map you gave is fine for that. I just wasn't sure if I had read through the previous posts properly and found the correct goblin that I could attack. From the sounds of things, I did, but just missed the little guy.
Just an update. I'll be away on vacation from the 14th (Friday) to the 23rd (Sunday) of this month. I'm doubtfull I'll be near internet then, so feel free to 'bot' me during that period.
You guys need to decide what you want to do with the unconscious goblin. Do you want to track the two gobs that got away?
Lina's still too uncomfortable with this whole adventuring thing with a bunch of folks she's still intimidated by to express her opinion on where they should go next ;)
Cop out! ;-)
In that case we have 1.5 votes for proudstump and 1 vote for staying in the goblin village. and a half vote for camping in the swamp.
I dont know if this helps but its like 1530 in game time.
I got one to stay and 2 to leave and one abstaining and one out of town. So I will move this forward later this evening. Cool?
I'm back from vacation now. A bit backed up at work though so it my posting may be absent or erratic over the next couple of days as I also try to catch up on all the posts of the games I'm in.
Where is everyone? What do you people want to do? I really cannot push it forward without your input...
Waiting for others to add input... But I'll pose again.
Hey, I already gave my input. Sorry, Lina's really not the leadership type. Actually, that will probably change in the future, but she needs to gain some confidence first. I see her as being a very dynamic and changing character as we get the first few levels...but not right away.
How are we handling HP at level up?
I haven't really been keeping track of experience - are we leveling up?
I think, if I've counted correctly, we have just over 2000 XP.
So how should we handle HP for level up? Average? Roll? Half plus roll for half?
Yes, that was my question a couple posts back. DM?
Sorry, for some reason, I wasnt getting notified of the discussion thread... thanks Paizo.... lol... rolling would be best. I think...
HP Roll:
You can either choose an extra hp or skill rank...
My favored class options have been the 1/4 to Arcane Pool per level rather than the skill or HP. Maybe not the best idea, I suppose, with the crummy AC and already having been KO'd but there ya have it.
Nice!
I'm taking the +1 HP
Hit Points:
Well, at least it wasn't a 1! :-(
Next Stop?
Hi, where does the group want to go?
Hoo boy. This poison might kill me.
Traveling today and then with family for the holiday. May not be on much as a consequence. Have a good one if I am not. :)
Haha! I was so impressed by the description of the cave that I momentarily forgot that Lina is blind! Oops! Well, I guess now I need to figure out a way to make it make sense.
Luckily it turns out most of the cavern was within the range of her Darkvision, so I think I made it work. I can't tell you how stupid I felt after doing that.
I'm going to be on vacation starting tomorrow (18th) until the 28th inclusive. Not sure about web access or ability to post, so feel free to DMPC me during that time.
So we are getting to the meat and potatoes of the Adventure Path... How do you guys want to run the Caravan?
With an iron fist! And maybe marshmallows!
Fair enough, what I meant was I could roll for randoms and keep it as simple and quick k as possible.
Simple and quick is good.
Has anyone else had a look at the caravan rules? Will we be using the ones straight out of the player's guide? Or gloss over them? And what about the friend/rivalry rules? Will they be the same as the ones in the player's guide?
The caravan rules may make the adventure a might tedious. The friend/rivalry rules on the hand I will be using. Thats why i wanted everyone to pick a friend and a rival, to increase the RP. I figure on the trip each day everyone gets to spend time with one of the main NPCs, and do little convos plus roll for randoms. which I will do first.
Just before anything everyone should add +1 to Ameiko for giving her the scroll and the chest. +1 for Shallelu for killing over 10 goblins, +1 for Koya for handling the Megus letter which will be RPed shortly...
In addition add 240xp for the story award. If you are at 6 Relationship points with either your friend or rival you get 400xp.
I'm fine with you doing as much of the caravan mechanics as you want behind the scenes and then just present us with whatever is relevant or what we need to know. And as long as we get the chance for a bit of RP on occasion, that's enough for me.
Suppose we should figure out how we're divvying up the loot from the chest recovered from the skeletons:
Inside the chest is:
five potions of cure light wounds,
two potions of cure moderate wounds,
three potions of lesser restoration,
a ring of climbing,
a wand of identify,
a masterwork chain shirt,
masterwork cold iron wakizashi,
11 Desnan Candles
four skyrockets,
3820sp,
421gp, and
a few pieces of Tian style jewelry.
Liu Na received Whispering Shrike, so I'm good on passing on the other items (that Ring of Climbing might be nice, though!). If no one minds, Liu Na will take one of the potions of Cure Light Wounds.
BTW: Anyone keeping track of the total XP we've earned so far? I've lost track.
I went sifting yesterday for Kalistrine... Its not my turn...:)
I could probably make use of the chain shirt if nobody else wants it.
