Discussion Thread

Hello!

Thanks for running the game. I'm excited to see Raina in play again.

Oh, and for running an online game, you get double the DM awards. :)

Also, I need to fully update my PC to level 2.

My Logsheet is detailed in this profile, and I have the PDF on hand if you want a copy.

Since you seem to have more experience than I, if you do note me doing anything too far wrong, feel free to let me know, either on here or by PM.

Will do, but it's unlikely based on how I've seen you play before.

AL is pretty easy to run. Just follow the guidelines and make your best judgment call when you have to.

My personal experience is that it's better to have a GM driven game for PBP, where the gm pushes the story when the players don't.

Also, it's good to have a requirement for posting. I set a once per day requirement.

I will usually update around 12:00 or 19:00 GMT, I'd like to make a post to move things forward each day. If there's a party consensus (say 1/2 the party seem to agree on a course of action) I'll assume any silent / vague players agree on the same course.

Combats I will do limited 'bot' posts if someone doesn't post, I will assume that move to range and make a standard attack with a weapon or cantrip. I won't make any assumptions as to using limited resources of any kind (except weapon ammunition if you use a ranged weapon as standard).

If you'd rather leave any conditional orders / standard combat pattern information for me for any reason, that's fine.

Oh man, I took too long posting and didn't notice two others already had. Ill see if I can edit it into something that makes more sense.

Hey Skyreaver, you may want to update your tagline. You're no longer exhausted (goes away after a long rest) and you have your spells back. :)

AL stuff:

I'm not using any down time. But I would like to purchase some stuff.

Spending 1 sp on a club. Also want to sell the leather armor (5 gp) and buy studded leather (45 gp).

Marking it on my profile Logsheet.

Changed my Avatar on Vic - something more consistent with his Elven race.

lol probably should.

Anyone other than Raina have a faction?

Particularly looking at Emerald Enclave & Harpers.

Also note that you are actually in a village right now, if you want any last minute supplies you can purchase before you set out. Selling any current/starter gear nets you 1/2 the value. Also I did mention that longbows will be found in short order, but you didn't hear it from me, right? ::Shifty look::

As far as I can see, Logsheets don't need to be authorised/signed/biometrically marked do they?

My DCI no is 1081040964, for you to add it to the logsheets.

I do not have a faction with this character.

Vic is Zhentarim, Rank 1, Fang.

I cannot make the switch to the Longbow yet. If I trade in the Shortbow, it will only net 13GP+15GP I have =28GP. I need 50GP for a Longbow.

No real guidance for monster knowledge in D&D 5e, unless I've missed it, seems reasonable that you should be able to know something...

NB: I can't stop you reading the spoiler tags, but rolling for everyone and sending PM's to everybody is onerous, so I'll trust you to not read them.

Does that mean Raina auto succeeds, or does she have to make the check?

A bit heavy on the damage, I believe it was a longbow, not a bazooka:

1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Slightly moot point now, but you can read the spoiler if you like.

Im all for a tactical retreat, but we need to get Skyreaver out of there somehow.. :/

Sorry, Weekend before christmas was rather busy (probably should have been expecting that, really).

No worries!

Hi gang! Sorry its been a while, I've been really busy.

No worries.

Just in case it's not obvious, just because I'm highlighting options doesn't mean that's all you can do.

It's an RPG not a choose your own adventure book.

It just feels that I give you the obvious options things move along quicker. If you'd rather I left you to make your own mistakes... um decisions. Then feel free to tell me to shut up with them.

I'm good. Skyreaver is a fairly straight forward character.

How are we all doing? Everyone ready to game or are we taking a short break for the holidays?

All good here!

The spirits have commanded me to be here. They won't shut up unless I do...

Sorry, too much food, drink and family crept up on me.
Posting may be somewhat intermittant until 3rd Jan, but I think most of the disruption should be done with now.

I'm down to continue. Two questions: can we get a log sheet? The XP for this game plus some XP I have for DMing a game might be enough to level me.

Also, we may want to open advertising again to allow others to join.

Okay, pretty much finished up on this one.

TLDR:
450xp each
47gp each
Ring of Swimming (for 1 character)
1 Faction Renown
Raina +1 Faction Renown
Downtime: 5 days.

Longer version, if anyone wants to check for mistakes

XP Awards: Group Awards:
Water Wierd (700xp)
Mud Mephit (50xp)
Giant Poisonous Snake (50xp)
Sea Hag (450xp)

=1250 / 5

250each

+Noncombat awards (per character)
Befreind Feetor 50xp
Find island in under 12 hours 50xp

350xp each.
However minimum award is 450xp per character.

Treasure:
Bronze Armband (55gp)
Mama's Gems (180gp)

Permanent Magic Items:
Ring of Swimming
Ring, Uncommon
This ring gives its wearer a swimming speed of 40 feet. This item can be found in the Dungeon Masters Guide.
This ring is made of a single piece of cartilage carved to look like the open jaws a shark closing around the wearer's finger.

Items with a cash value are considered to be sold and divided, for 47gp each.
Permanent Magic items are divided (not like PFS where you all get the option to acquire them).
If you can agree on who gets it, it goes to that character.
If you can't agree it goes to whoever has fewest items, or randomly detirmined by the GM.
I have a certificate for whoever ends up with the ring, which I can sign and e-mail, or host somewhere.

1 Faction Reward, +1 for emerald enclave completing mision
5 downtime days.

are log sheets filled in by players or do I need to fill one out and post it somewhere?

It looks to me that you just need my DCI number and you can fill out your own results?

There is also a QR code/back page on the 2nd slide on the Encounter map, if anyone wants to fill out results to enter results, but that might be just a december thing?

That would level me.

So far, I've filled out all the logsheets as a DM, but I suppose it doesn't really matter.

Also, I already have a swim speed. Someone else gets the ring.

I have another player for us. I linked him to this discussion thread.

Happy to continue on.

Is there a 5e version of the online character logs that PFS uses or is it just in a binder kept by each player?

Oh, I would pass on the swim ring.

Check my profile; that's the log I use.

Otherwise there's a PDF you can download for free.

Glad to keep going too. I should level after this adventure to 3rd and start getting my mountain bonus spells!

The DM generally distributes the log sheets and updates accordingly after each adventure from my past experiences. Are we getting a log sheet distributed? If so, please send mine to vincentacri@gmail.com. if not, I can complete my own.

I can fill out log sheets, my only concern was that if you've played another adventure previously there's space for 3-4 adventures on each log sheet, so you'd end up with odd gaps/out of order filling out. But maybe that's just my own OCD at issue. Plus the majority of these are starting characters anyway.

Need to work out who's taking the Ring of Swimming. Raina and Cass have refused it.

Also, reposting my DCI:1081040964

Going to give it a week to see if Mordekai checks back in, otherwise we're already at 5 with Raina's friend, so not going to run through re-recruitment.

I will take the ring of swimming.

I have no issue with you providing the sheet for Victoria. It is his first Adventure. No blank spaces here, just take the top one for him. Thanks.

First adventures league for me but I put my DCI number in the profile.

My DCI is in Vic's profile.

I don't need it, and my DCI number is in my profile as well.

Okay, I'll complete sheets by tomorrow evening, provided there's no disputes as to the ring.

Sorry, day before yesterday evening Paizo wasn't working from home. Yesterday my car broke down and I spent the best part of the evening waiting for the pick-up to take it the garage. And just went to bed when I got home.

I'm at work at the moment so I can't fill them out but provided there are no further issues will get the requested forms filled out tonight and posted up somewhere.

I haven't forgotten.

There's been no response from Mordekai so will continue to the next part starting Monday, provided my bad luck quotient for the month has been used up already.

Sounds like it should be...hang in there...

Sounds like you could use a hug or a beer. I'd recommend the latter.

Clearly beer is the best answer.

I look forward to proceeding.

Right, Sent out log sheets to Cass and Vic, did anyone else want me to send one out or are the rest of you fine?

If I've made any mistakes on the sheets, do feel free to tell me, otherwise I'll never know I've done it wrong.

Still aiming to start the next part on Monday. Will continue to use this thread, since I'm not re-recruiting and the adventures are linked.

Anyone who was level 1 should now be level 2. And you should all have 5 days of downtime (its a bit abstract as the next adventure starts in the same place as the last one finished, but it is another adventure if you want to use it) and a little gold. Let me know if you want to spend it on anything.

Also note that until Level 5 characters can be freely 'respecced' between adventures if somethings not quite working to your taste. If all changes can be done by Monday.

please do send me a sheet. My email address is genma_200@yahoo.com.
