Welcome Ladies and thank you for your submissions, excellent and entertaining all (apart from Lavinia's which was really creepy - but that's appropriate too!)
First things first: this is a LAWFUL evil campaign. Most of you aren't (at least, not as far as I can tell). This is fine - just don't try and murder your coven mates, and if Thrune says jump, jump. Feel free to mutter about it but trust me, when Queen Abrogail says jump you really really should!
Ahreni's profile isn't sorted yet, but just to fill out her role a bit more.
Ahreni is NOT a member of the coven. She is not a spellcaster and has no magical abilities. She's more your mentor than anything else. She's replacing Cimri (for those that have played/read the AP before) so she's going to drive the plot a bit at the start and then step back.
After the first part how much of a role she plays will be entirely up to you guys. If you want her to keep coming along she can, if you want to leave her behind - fine too. If you want to pick up leadership and run her yourselves, equally good.
Reporting in! Looking forward to the game.
How well do the three of us know each other before the game starts?

What about stabbing her in the back once she's outlived her usefulness, does that count as an option too? :-)
Thanks for picking me! Looking forward to this.
Re alignment, Alyssa is CE and will lie in thought, word and deed. She sacrificed her own unwanted get to gain power, but she's not stupid. She has learned wisdom, as well as hatred. Above all, she's polite, and accomodating, and could almost pass for Lawful - right up until she suddenly doesn't, any more.
No interest in murdering the other players, though - this is a cooperative game, in my view.
EDIT: Hello, Friday! That was quick off the mark :-) I really liked your character, and her interpretation of vodoun, btw.
Alyssa has been something of a legend, although she'll obviously have to start crafting a new one. Possibly, as a herbalist, she's assisted Friday in avoiding *cough* unwanted consequences of living the good life? On the other hand, Alyssa is a bit creepy, so Friday may have avoided her. I'm good either way.
Reporting in, and thank you for picking me! (...and hooray!, I'm really creepy!)
I think Lavinia will get along just fine with Ahreni, and her coven-sisters. She might even have a sense of respect toward Queen Abrogail.

"You can try Alice... you can try"
As to how well you know each other... you've all fled from the woods and walked for the better part of a week, then you've spent another week holed up in an abandoned farmhouse while Ahreni scouts the local town - so fairly well!
Lavinia/Friday - you were earmarked as coven mates before the attack, you didn't have a third yet, until Alice's new-found lack of power made her a good candidate.
Alice - you were previously un-linked, after the death of your previous coven many years ago. Previously you'd never have considered joining such a weak, new coven - but circumstances have changed...
Just read up on my new coven-sisters. I figured the necromancer would be the most disturbing person in the party, and I was wrong. You are both terrifying.
"You can try Alice... you can try"
It's just Alyssa, now, dearie: Alice was someone else, someone powerful, but she's dead now. Alyssa should know, she was there when it happened.
Working on getting my stat-line into place, but I wanted to reply to the gameplay posts first.
Eh? Gameplay didn't tell me the game started! Checking now.
I'm glad somebody can heal! Alyssa is purely negative energy, so no spontaneous cures or channeling heals from her.
I'm curious about how the dog was CDG'd. Was it helpless?
It was asleep - so yes. :)
Ah, I missed that part.
I'm getting a weird display bug in my gameplay threads where the display goes off the right side of the screen. So I can't see or touch the reply, edit or submit post buttons.
I'm going to dig into my display settings tomorrow and figure out what's going on. For now, I guess I'll post my action here. I'm going to move to where I can channel without healing our enemies, and then heal everyone for
How bizarre... good luck in getting it fixed.
I'm still getting that weird display issue where I can't hit the reply, edit, delete, or post buttons because the right edge of the screen is cut off. It's only for thus game and a couple others, not all of them. I'm stumped.
It's only on my phone, so I'll post from the computer later.
No worries - just post when you can :)
@GM - are we waiting on anyone in particular?
Sorry - work went south on Friday so the weekend has been picking up pieces, I'll do gameplay tonight once I get home to my books!
That's absolutely fine, and boy do I understand about RL getting in the way. Just wanted to check I wasn't the one holding things up! :-)
Incidentally, I'm planning on running a Kingmaker/Ultimate Intrigue mashup on these boards (based on one I ran at my tabletop). Let me know if that interests any of you and I'll ping you a link to the interest check I've posted.
Alyssa - you ok? I guess your recruitment is taking up your time? ;)
Sorry all - got called away with work. Catching up on the gameplay posts now and will post something in a bit.
Ok, I'm very happy to put together a Google docs spreadsheet to track the loot. I'll do it some time this weekend and post the link here.
Incidentally, Friday and Lavinia - I'm currently recruiting for a Kingmaker/Ultimate Intrigue mashup; if that interests you, the link to the recruitment thread is here
OK, loot sheet is done: LOOT SHEET
GM - how much is the angel helmet that we stole from the church worth?
400gp but highly recognisable - selling it in Longacre will be extremely difficult, at least in the short term.
@GM - is this still the same day? If so I have burned one of my spells (Murderous Command) but still have the others in reserve.
No - new day. Hence the shopping time.
Apologies for the delay in posting - I started my own PbP campaign this week and it took more time/energy than I thought it would.
I'm still around and will definitely get something posted up today. Sorry for keeping you waiting.
The amount of work is always surprising I find :) No worries though, take your time.
Hey Everyone, I'm away for the next twelve days in Florida - going to Disney World for the first time!
I won't be able to check my games while I'm away so we'll go on pause until the 10th (or possibly the 11th if I'm too jet-lagged!).
Hope you had a good time and are not too jet lagged!
BTW, am seriously thinking of running a Pathfinder Playtest - are any of you three interested? Would probably be as much roll play as roleplay.
Lemme know if so and I'll set up a discussion thread to put together character concepts and so on.
Reading through it at the moment - my wife will be running it IRL tomorrow. Definitely interested :)
Let's see if the site can stay solid for a few hours...
What odds?
Took a couple of tries but it posted.
And also a little fair warning, I'm going to be moving the first week of September; so I'm going to be busy with the packing, moving, and settling into the new place. I'll post when I can (if the forum lets me).
Fair enough - we can only wait really!
Good luck with the move!
Back now. Stupid website. Must have hexed it by accident
"accident"
Anyone else going to be responding to the Archbaron? :)
Sorry, yes. Between the forum outages and trying to keep the games I'm running from dying and changes to my RL workload I haven't had a lot of time. But I'm definitely around! :)
Looks like we've lost Lavinia...
If that is the case - what would people like to do? Recruit a replacement or simply let the game drop? I know we've had huge momentum problems what with the forum being down and so forth.
I'm still around - I unfortunately had to drop a bunch of my other games but I would like to stick with this one if we can.
I'm still here. Getting a third for the coven would be a good idea.
I'm not lost, just super busy getting things sorted with the new place (and getting rid of the old place).
Glad you are still here! And good luck with getting things sorted.
Ready to go be Evil when everyone else is :-)
Still here
Sorry - the weekend has been rather un-restful.
I'll assusme Lavinia takes the oath and move you on tomorrow.
Oh, a double helping of toil and trouble? :)
More seriously - that sucks. Hope you manage to recover.
We're moving soon, so life is being sorted into boxes, taken to the dump etc. And work... so yeah, doesn't feel like much time right now...
