Yea, time is actually wrapping around the prison walls in a rift that moves from east of the gate to west of the gate around the grounds; you walked against the flow of time and got back one hour.
Also, if you go into the house you will find a secret hatch to the troll cave, and after clearing the troll cave you will access the dwarven mine of Hardash-Öt where The Fid sleeps.
Do not ask what The Fid is. No one asks about The Fid.
Haha. No prob, just checking. :)
Hahaha... "conjugal visits".
:3
:D
Zelda, spotting the door is actually DC 0 :)
Just a heads up Mirelinza, the Paladin's Detect Evil ability works slightly differant than the spell:
At will, a paladin can use detect evil, as the spell. A paladin can, as a move action, concentrate on a single item or individual within 60 feet and determine if it is evil, learning the strength of its aura as if having studied it for 3 rounds. While focusing on one individual or object, the paladin does not detect evil in any other object or individual within range.

I find this version of the spell much more helpful, because you don't need to blankly stare like an idiot for 18 seconds at someone when the situation is about to blow up -- that is, after saying a bunch of incantations and making hand gestures for the spell, which is a slap on the person's face, at any rate.
I suppose Birch/Mirelinza will edit his/her post, so I will edit mine to clarify.

This is a thorny issue and the boards are littered with threads debating it. According to SKR (who was one of the rules guys on the boards) it is an either/or option.
At will a paladin can use detect evil, as the spell. Full stop. That's the first option. There's no limitation or 'however' attached.
A paladin can, as a move action, concentrate on a single item or individual within 60 feet and determine if it is evil... And there's option two. A paladin can condense three rounds into one move action - but foregoes the cone effect. And there's an AoO rules war attached to that too!
In summary, as a standard action, a Paladin can concentrate on maintaining a 60ft cone to reveal information.
Or
A paladin can, as a move action, concentrate on a single item or individual within 60 feet and determine if it is evil. As a move action, the paladin focuses that cone on a single individual/object at the exclusion of all else, to determine more quickly if the object of the focus is evil.
This took a lot of effort to tease out from the boards, believe me...
Oh, boy.
You are right. Thanks for the research.
If you want a harder challenge, find one reasonably developed campaign in the boards where:
i) a paladin is playing;
ii) there is no discussion on Detect Evil.

Actually, since detect evil is a spell-like ability for paladins, neither version requires verbal or somatic components. [source]
Though the paladin is free to give evil doers hand gestures anyway, like flipping them the bird. :)
I'm partial to the "I'm Watching You" gesture :3
Lol. :D

That's what I meant, it's convenient, as opposed to the actual spell.

How do you guys normally handle combat on PbP? I have been looking for combat grids online, but I found no satisfactory/free ones... Then I thought of a google spreadsheet... If it is minimalistic it looks good, but trying to draw an actual map makes it awful...
Most of the groups I've been use google drawing/spreadsheet/whatever.
Either Google Docs or Dropbox are good options for uploading your maps. Just copy and paste maps from your pdfs or from Google Images into GIMP or Photoshop, then add a layer to place character and creature icons on (so you can move them with ease between combat rounds). GMs commonly steal players' Paizo avatars and paste them into their maps to represent them.
Optionally, I find it makes life easier for GMs and players alike to add chessboard-styled labels to rows and columns as well. For instance, instead of writing elaborate instructions for where they move their characters (and sometimes getting misinterpreted by the GM and placed in the wrong square), players and GMs alike can simply state, "I move from C3 to D9" and there is no chance of error (barring dyslexia).
I think Google Drawings enables players as well as GMs to move icons themselves, reducing the GM workload. For example, this map was used in a PFS game I played in a few months back (note how you can drag the icons yourself).

Dyslexia should not influence the fight against the xbatay.

Yeah, I know, I was in that game.
(Thanks for the link, I copied the file into my drive :D )

Never heard of 'em.
:P
I made a map; it's under "Grid" in the "Combat" spoiler, in the Campaign page. Thanks for the suggestions Naught & Aliseya, and thanks for the example map, Aliseya.

Well you should have put some ranks into Knowledge(Asskicking) then!
No prob, Ulrik the A$$kicker. Looks good. :)
This is the symbol of the coven.
?
Barring uploading them to something like Google Docs, I don't know of any way to attach files to the forum, if that's what you mean? If you want to paste text from a Word document into a post, you could just do that as well. If the spacing is off, just delete the extra carriage returns.
You can always try to convert things to pure text before posting; that way you can handle formatting closer to what is here, but you need to italicize/bold text by hand.
Zelda - Don't forget to give yourself full HP again. :)
Btw, I think Mirelinza rolled a d10 instead of a d20 on her last knowledge check?
Be back later tonight...
I was going to use her first roll because religion is not a suitable discipline for researching the Whispering Way (so I would use the raw roll on a suitable discipline), or I was going to call for another roll... Suggestions on what is best?
I think it's a good time for us to decide what to do if a person preemptively rolls something when it is useless to do so. Just dismiss the roll? If we are going to dismiss, I need Mirelinza to re-roll the skill check, perhaps after the 1d4 (3) hours have elapsed.
Apologies for the delay, I await clarification from Ulrik about something before proceeding (just sent you a pm).
I will describe that in the main thread once I post and advance the game. We will be following the rules in the Carrion Crown Player's Guide.
Is there anything anyone else wants to do before I conclude Mirelinza's and Cellawyn's research?
I guess if anyone else wants a harrowing, though we can do that simultaneously with the research results.
I guess we can move on if noone else wants to pick a card. Lol.
Sorry for the delay guys, I will try to post later tonight. I need a bit more time to get these harrow readings right vs the more usual posts. :)
I am sorry, everyone... I have not abandoned the game, but I am having trouble finding time to write :/ I think by Wednesday it will be more likely that I will be able to have the post ready.
Np, I had just assumed you got absorbed by the FIFA madness :3
I am still alive too, lol. I should be posting within an hour or so.
Good, I am almost ready. I think I should wait for Aliseya's last reading, and I will keep writing the forthcoming posts on my computer, and then paste them in at the appropriate time.
Once they finish the research, I will advance everyone to sleep and then to the morning. Please take the time to review the information given and plan for the second day :)
Coming up within the hour! Sorry for the delay again, I just have a certain amount of time for posting, and these readings, while very enjoyable, take up a lot of time to do properly, lol.
I forgot the +1 to my attack roll for higher ground. :)
