Hey dm. since you stopped by have you poked around our characters? Do they pass muster?
Oh fine. wake me up just when I was getting comfey.
Oh you might want to mention the large number of facial/head scars and stitchmarks. To quote the Doctor "You've had some cowboys in here."

Blah and your still unconscious on top of that. I'm imagining Caithan is getting a bit cross by now. He gets rather ornery if he misses tea time.

Sorry boss. But we do have some nice thick silk mats to filter the tea!
Work has been taking up most of my day, sorry for holding up the battle. I've posted now though, and will hopefully be able to be more active tomorrow.
Dont mind me, just hanging around.
Hmmm I wonder if we could capture one o'these spidies. If the venom is good enough to take Stetbo down then it may well come in handy.
"Is not risking my life to save yours enough? Now you want me to risk it twofold to capture one of these creature? If they flee, i will not pursue. A wounded animal is not to be trifled with", Natalyah snaps.
Warming up my 7 cha score for when we meet in the thread :)

"Sorry mam, sorry." The odd mans voice is deep and clear.
The strange man cringes. He tilts his head baring his neck in an oddly submissive gesture. The change in angle reveals a still healing line of stiches dissapearing into his web-matted hair.
Don't mind me just hanging around.

Thanks for the heads up,...Cutlass take note and please get your character in order.
Hey DM!
I am trying to play up the strangeness of setebo and I just thought of a feat that i want to swap for the rather dull toughness. However it is from the inner sea guide so it needs your ok.
Godless healing. once per day heal 1d8 + character level as a move action.
This does supply more HP than toughness but it cannot be used when in rage so that may balance it out.
Ok to swap?
note.Fey foundling is also an idea for some toughness replacing hp related oddness.
Godless healing seems ok..lets go with it..

Cool, barbarians tend to be healing sponges and without a paladin/cleric/life oracle we are starved for healing. Having a d8+level to draw on once a day will, if nothing else, mean that Setebo can get back to functional after a couple of days of down time.
Yes 4 adventurers to one spider! Go castaways! Three cheers for bless and bard song!
Things are looking up Mr. Kalson Sir!
Ah, good you said so. Forgot to add that to the attack roll and damage.
Ah, good you said so. Forgot to add that to the attack roll and damage.
We're low level, got to scrape every bonus we can.
Oh, while we're here. We are both, effectively, 2-weapon fighter types. You with actual weapons and me with claw claw and eventualy bite. We should talk so we dont step on each other's toes too much.
I see Setebo as being highly mobile. Max acrobatics and, at tenth level pounce. I expect to see him bouncing all over the battlefield using acrobatics or mobility to charge a different target every turn.
Out of rage he'll be more cautious favoring thrown and reach weapons.
Skill wise he will favor climb/swim and perception and may snag a oddball knowledge skill as time goes on and one strikes his fancy.
Hoy do youi see the lovely and popular Natalyah developing?
And in more thigs that are not my business.
Atzi Did you know that you appear to be built on 15 points where the other players are built on 20?

*sprays Setebo with a water bottle* "Down! Off the counter! Shoo! Bad setebo! No treats for you tonight!"

Come and see the violence inherent to the system! Help! Help! I'm being repressed!
Hoy do youi see the lovely and popular Natalyah developing?
Oh, that's a tough question. I'm not all that good with building characters so i don't really know what i'm aiming for. I want Natalyah to be a capable two weapon fighter and be able to shot a bow as well. Although i don't think that's possible.
But anyway i plan to continue with wielding two light weapons and taking more ranger levels. I've contemplated taking some rogue levels for sneak attack damage. The scout archttype should work (but that's only me going with the name, not the actual content). But to summarize, i really don't know.
Setebo and Natalyah seem to be two quite different characters so i don't think we'll be treading on eachothers toes mechanically speaking.
I don't think he would mind knowing that his character should actually have higher characteristics :)

You might want to look at teamwork feats. There are a great way to get some nice bonuses and we have a cavalier coming in to make using them easier.
As far as two weapon and the bow. You can do it. You won't be as nasty as a dedicated archer but with your ranger spells you can get quite nasty. Speaking of which once you can cast 3rd level Setebo will move mountains to get you some pearls of power so you can cast Strong jaws/Greater magic fang/lockjaw on him on a regular basis. Maybe even wands.
Scout may not be the best choice. It is a standard Rogue until 4th level. If you are thinking of a 1 or 2 level dip in rogue then sniper might be better. It replaces trapfinding with an ability the halves range penalities. This might work into your archery focus. Thought if you are using a longbow or a heavy crossbow it may never come up.
Take a look at the ranger options as well. Skirmisher replaces spellcasting with some nice non-magical tricks.
I have to admit when I took the game over I never thought to check that everyone was singing from the same hymnsheet as regards to character creation..something to remember next time I'm in that situation.

when I first took a look at her stats I was afraid the she was correct and I had to yank 5 points off Setebo. Still the news that she gets to add a few stat points will make her happy.
looks like I noticed those stat points at just the right moment! Be careful Atzi!
Setebo growls menacingly at the spiders, while asleep. Yeah, that worked.
Not sure Atzi is actually reading this thread I'll make the point in the main thread as well.
Setebo can start to stir now..but you'll be on Str 2

I'm looking to exploit the one point of nonlethal on any hit rule. Besides I needed the Charisma.

"Someone silence that thing!"
Hey just be glad I didn't go with my first idea for an intro.
The hanging figure stirs. Its eyes open but are clearly looking on a scene far from the here and now.
"Spiders, Capt'n. No not......table again...not.' The figure grimices in pain and black tears begin to run up its forhead into its webmatted hair. Softly at first but with growing strength and with a clear saprano voice it begins to sing."
"Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more
Men were deceivers ever;
One foot in sea, and one on shore,
To one thing constant never.
Then sigh not so,
But let them go,
And be you blithe and bonny,
Converting all your sound of woe
Into Hey nonny, nonny."

Hey guess what? I can't add. Atzi is built on 20 points.
Now I feel like a total moron.
Sorry Atzi
General warning to all my games.
I will be out of touch for a week as I will be going to a place with no internet connection. This is a drive I do not wnat to make, with people I don't like, to stay with them for a week in a place I dont want to go for a time I cannot financially afford. If you do not hear from me in a week check the news for a mass murder. That is all.
Smacks Setebo around the back of the head in the style of Leroy Jethro Gibbs.

Sorry boss. Hangs head in shame.
I can't believe I did that.
Man this toxin is going to hurt.
18 str currently 16 pts of strength damage. That is more that 2 full weeks to recovery. Ouch
Time to dust off the long term care rules.
hmmm full day rest with a heal check every day means 4 days to recovery or twice that with 8 hours/day care.
At least str damage does not effect encumbrance or we would be toast.
"I think we should have stayed in Ibiza boss"
Jask is more than competent to see you through
Alternatively you could use a potion of Lesser Restoration to kick start the process.(the party has 4)
Alternatively I can bump Jask to level 3..he's done enough over the 2 weeks that the party has been on the island..(not that the players have seen it.That would give him Lesser restoration and let you recover more quickly.
I'm certainly not about making you hang around camp for days.

*reaches out from the nether*
Can't forget both Rollow and Caithan have fairly high strength scores as well. Not enough potions for everyone. We're going to be out for a long long while.

I worked it out using the healing rules. Jask can provide long term care to 6 patients at a time. Assuming total bed rest and a successful dc 15 heal check we will recover 4 Strength a day. At 16 Str damage we are down only 4 days. It should take the fair Natalya that long to decide to kill us or not.
I'm still tempted to bump the NPC's up a level.does anyone have any objections?
I don't have a problem with that.
On the one hand I like the idea of getting up to speed faster. On the otherhand I woder if having an NPC of higher level than the PC's might cause an overshadowing issue. On the the hand I don't have I also wonder if giving easy access to lesser restoration will make poison and disease trivial threats.
So in short, like the american voting public, I'm conflicted
There is also the issue that Tarkxt/The captain will be gone for a few days. Those could well be healing and rp days.
Jask is a purely camp based character..he's already got 2 patients under his care..and can't leave them for any extended period..the same goes for any of the other NPc's they are there as support not as front line.
I don't think it would be a big problem, unless something happens that will take the NPC's into action before we've had time to level up. Like Natalyah pushing herself over the edge. "What? If you think it's so easy exploring the island then you do it while i take care of the camp!"

Whhaat She would be a great entertainer. 'You! Buck up! Stop moping! I want to see nothing but smiles in this camp or.... Now cone on
shudder
I think levleing Jask (and the others?) is an excellent idea.
Setebo has no real interest in the loot. He has zero use for the armor, heavy armor is a no go for barbarians who want to stay mobile. The sword or the pick might be useful but I want to stick with my longspear for now.
The purse/shoulderbag is interesting I don't carry much gear and it could well replace my backback
In any case I want to thank you all for letting Setebo play. He is a strange little bestie but I think he'll be useful.
Oh, and who is keeping track of loot?
I have visions of Natalyah as a Camp Counsellor at a summer camp for spoilt rich kids..oh lord I am an evil man.

I keep seeing a young Granny Weatherwax leading a group of terified children in song.
Kumbya would never be the same again.
Yes! No mass murder stories so the Captain should be back and posting soon.
Holy c%#@! 13 feet with no run up!
And I don't even have raging leaper, yet!
I know that was a good roll but damn!

That would be pretty close to her worst nightmare. She would probably ditch the kids out in the woods several time only to be overwhelmed with guilt and having to find them again.
