As Architecture said, thank you all for the kind words. I'll send an email to Chris and Co. today to get this moved over. Give me a day to catch up and we'll get moving shortly.
All, I will be traveling both tomorrow and Tuesday so I will not be able to respond with my typical alacrity those days. I will try to get at least one post in on each of those days.
Thanks for the heads up. Enjoy the trip, hopefully you are going somewhere fun.
I'll post Bel's action when we hear Fez's take on superfluous rolls y'all.
Nah, I love superfluous rolls. One campaign I was in one of my rolls was "Not stick foot in mouth around a pretty woman"
It was a Wisdom check (7 Wis baby!) That I rolled a 3 on. So I put my foot in my mouth.
And the ability damage won't actually reduce your stats, but because you've taken 4 you'll have a -2 penalty on these things
Dexterity: Damage to your Dexterity score causes you to take penalties on Dexterity-based skill checks, ranged attack rolls, initiative checks, and Reflex saving throws. The penalty also applies to your Armor Class, your Combat Maneuver Bonus (if you are Tiny or smaller), and to your Combat Maneuver Defense.
Can we safely assume that If there is no apparent enemies in a room Brezik will generally go into the room 10 ft. stealthy and looking for traps? GM Fez could just roll for it when he drops box text for the room? That way we're not waiting for me to roll a search for traps all the time.
Again, travelling tomorrow, lack of alacrity with responding during the day.
And yes I can do that.
After a hard day of adventuring Brezik still dressed in his adventuring clothes from the daym collapsed in his tent... glad just to lay down. He could hear his friends going through their nightly routines...
Brezik closed his eyes trying to drown out the sounds they made. He could here Belthorian queityl intoning a spell..
Prolly just a light spell so he can go relieve himself...
All of a sudden Brezik found himself drenched as what felt like gallons of water came out of thin air. Brezik spluttered and began to sit up but, was suddenly tackled by Allister and Gad'larr both trying to not smell the stinky sweaty dwarf.
Allister: Sorry Brezik... it's for our good... or your good... or... which was it again Gad?
Gad'larr: It will be good for both him and us Allister... everyones a winner here.
Belthorian: Everyones a winner? I drew the short straw... I'm so sorry about this Brezik... But it's for the best.
Brezik eyes grew wide as the priest of the goddes of graves loomed over them... slowly Bel reached into his bag and drew something out. Brezik let out a scream of horror when he realized what it was...
...
The next morning Brezik sullenly poked at his porridge with his spoon...
You guys could have just said something.
Brezik sniffed..
what is that... lavendar... or lillac...
Lavender of course. You never use Lillac on a dwarf unless you want to die suddenly in your sleep from a hammer that "slips" and falls on your cranium by "accident".
I wanted to say that I have not been disappointed at all by GM Fez so far. A successful hand-off if I say myself. Good job everyone, and especially GM Fez for not only meeting our expectations but actually get ahead of them too I think!
Let's keep it going!
=)
Tight or looseness of initiatives is up to you guys. To keep games moving I try to use block initiatives and whomever posts first has delayed or readied in such a way that they go at the start of the block, and so on and so forth until that block has completed their actions. But, up to you guys how we roll with it.
I like the block initiative as well, a good mix of keeping the game moving and letting people reap the rewards of rolling a great jump on things.
Ditto.

We have a lot of people with 20ft movement, to keep it fresh is anyone interested in alternating the Rear and Front guards every other room?
Say pair up Gad and Bela, and Brezik and Alli?
That way we can auto-setup the map and keep moving while changing up character's opportunities to shine.
Apologies to Qina if I'm over stepping, but us ladies are doing quite swell in the heart of things.
Yeah...swell...*gulp*
I think it's all going great, but I can understand the logic. That pretty much went as I'd hope. If it had hit Allister, for example, the 7 would have confirmed and our hardest hitter would have been severely hampered. Yeah, I could die, but we all could. And I don't need strength much anyway. Good thing I don't carry much. I'm the hardest to hit, well tied with Gad anyway, so the odds were in my favor which is all I could really ask for. I'm just glad I got to hit it for max damage before it zapped me. And don't worry Vivian, I'm sure you'll come through right when we need you to.

Allister is going to be devastated when his greatsword attack passes right through the creature. I wanted to keep in character so I didn't look up the sub-type until after my attack had been made (Allister would never know about monster resistances). Now that I have, I'm pretty sure there is absolutely nothing I can do against this shadow. *GULP*
Then let's get it angry! Make it keep its focus on us.
Do shadows get scared?
If it wanted Roldare it could have got him by now, he's making enough noise!
Everybody hold your breath!
A character who has no air to breathe can hold her breath for 2 rounds per point of Constitution. If a character takes a standard or full-round action, the remaining duration that the character can hold her breath is reduced by 1 round. After this period of time, the character must make a DC 10 Constitution check in order to continue holding her breath. The check must be repeated each round, with the DC increasing by +1 for each previous success.
When the character fails one of these Constitution checks, she begins to suffocate. In the first round, she falls unconscious (0 hit points). In the following round, she drops to –1 hit points and is dying. In the third round, she suffocates.
I don't think we'll suffocate, it's not like there's no air, it's just really smokey. We're just going to start crying and coughing... and then die.
A depressing note, discovered an error in Vivian's build. Channel Energy is off of Charisma, not Wisdom as I had calculated it. A bit MAD but we'll persevere! Soo she's out of that for the day... good news is we have the dagger!
I believe you're missing two skill points as well. 2 class +1 int +1 human +2 background skills. I would recommend Diplomacy and Knowledge (religion) or possibly even Knowledge (history).

Absolutely, great eye thank you! Or should I say Keen-Eye Qina? ;)
I'm not sensitive if anyone finds mistakes, been getting back into the system after a several year hiatus so they are an unfortunate reality.
I'll be travelling most of tomorrow, so my posting alacrity will slacken a bit, but I'll be posting at the very least once tomorrow.
NOTE: The new Adventure Path will be set in Nirmathas/Molthune as well!
The Ironfang Invasion!
Cool huh?
=)
So.... Um... it looks like GM Architecture has gone MIA in his other games.... So I'm REALLY GLAD we chose GM Fez.
Not only has he proven to be fun to play with... and allot more active then we first thought... but he has stuck around for a while too...
Thanks Fez!!!
I've said it before and I'll say it again, I live to entertain.
My posting rates really depend on the players, I've done slow burn games and fast, nearly table speed games. If the action feels like its grinding then I'll step in, but otherwise I let the players dictate the course. I'm just glad you guys are enjoying it thus far.
Well, that is up to GM Fez of course inthe end, but that would be kinda cool don't you guys think?

Indeed, it's a very attractive proposal. Honestly it'd be a damn impressive feat for all of these characters to make it through this arch, and the AP, and the 7 of us to stay around for 4+ years. I really love the dedication and optimism Gad! Not trying to be a downer though, I'm with you.
The last Price of Immortality mod is for lvl 5, so it's probably safe to assume you'd exit at 6 or 7. Rolling up a whole AP 7 lvls could be BRUTAL. I actually have no idea but feel its a safe hunch.
In that case we could be kind and do it with the next generation from these characters. Something like Viv has a child with some planar being that exists as an animated suit of ultra-plate armor.
It's fun to get ahead of ourselves isn't it? ;)
What can I say! I'd love to just see Gad and the rest of us make it all the way to at least 15th level or so at least. That would just be a sight to see! Vivian in your mighty armor, Allister with a item that gives a bonus to intelligence, Qina making dragon-level attack spells, Brezik with an enchanted hammer, and of course Bel with his Holy Ghost-Touch Vorpal Scythe of Undead slaying!
It would be quite a feat to keep this group rolling that far. But to be honest we're moving faster and with more purpose and less no posting than any of my games right now so who knows! I for one would love that!
How experienced are you all on the boards?
Edit: Had, I'll take two!!!

Lol, to be fair Allister will likely become a wrecking ball that Vivian will follow behind enchanting.
I've been on since early February of this year, but it's been a near-perfect fill to my RP void of the past few years. This level of involvement is a comfortable pace for me.

I started PbP back in December, but it has been a great help for me. My IRL group barely meets once a month now and I need a fix of role-playing regularly to help keep me sane. This group has been once of the most fun I've managed to join so far!
=)
I've been playing on the forms for just over a year roughly. It's a nice fix for gaming as the real life gaming slows down. I run two games and play in a few other, but this one is really amazing. The pace, the cohesion, the roleplaying, it's all been great. I hope to keep playing with all of you for as long as we can. Over 700 posts in just two months is insanely faster than most games move and it's awesome.
Thanks again GM Fez for joining us. We are all grateful you are with us.

Allister with a item that gives a bonus to intelligence
What use is intelligence when you have smart friends?...But yeah, I'm sure it would be nice to even bump up to 8, maybe learn to read.
In regards to the game, this group is fantastic. It feels much more "realistic" than the other groups I'm in, like the characters are living and each have their own quirks and personalities. And GM Fez, I've said it once before and I'll say it again: we are lucky to have you.
Cheers everyone.
Autopilot... that's selling your armour, giving the money to the poor, and becoming an empoverished monk right?...
As a monk I take offense at that...we're not impoverished. Just...frugal.
