XP from defeating Verik and the thugs
400 each
I've updated the loot spreadsheet, here. I'm guessing we'll probably end up claiming the stash, too, if there are no identifying marks on anything, but I haven't included it in the calculations yet. Machaera also knows mending, so we shouldn't have to worry too much about bullet holes and such. :)
Anyway, all of you will be at level 4 during your visit with Vencarlo. Level up your PCs at your leisure.
are we rolling HP?
Yes but reroll 1s.
Nice.
I think I'm good to go.
I forget, do we have the option to take average roll? I'm not very fond of rolling HP.
Nice! I have an idea about most of the nitty-gritty of leveling up, but spell selection is something else. With two magic academies in Korvosa, to say nothing of independent sources, I think it's time for Machaera to live down to stereotypes of elves in magic shops. :)
Now, let's see how long it takes me to get the chance to level up (I haven't had a whole lot of time for my games recently, if you hadn't noticed.....)
You can take the option of average if you like everyone or roll.
I'll take the average roll on d12, so 7. It may also take a little time for me to level up.
Take all the time you need to level up. I figure you'll want to buy stuff, make contacts, eat some chocolate or vanilla ice cream or cake to celebrate, get some theme music.
Out of curiosity, has anyone figured out how to change/add character images for aliases? I tried to update an alias but I don't see the option to select an image anymore :(

So how are my players? Busy, entertained, bored?
Busy and entertained, here. I was just sitting down to post a quick update. This week we wrapped up term at school, so a lot of running around to sort the last bits of this and that, after which I promptly had to start preparing for the summer conference season. On that note, I’ll be travelling this week coming up, and then again towards the last week of the month, with a frantic few days in between to switch gears from one event to another. Which is to say, I’m not sure how frequently I’ll be able to post next week (or from around the 20th through 30th, though that’s a ways further off), but I’ll try my best to keep up. Feel free to bot Machaera as necessary.
My life is always busy, as of late, but I'm keeping track. I'm still interested, just bad at showing it... ^^;;
Busy OOC, but doing my best to keep up with the gameplay thread.
Yeah, into it, but I just started a new job, so been extra busy.
In general, real life is busier for me now with a 13 month old daughter, so there are days where little things from that just add up. She's in day care, so we've been seeing illnesses almost every 7 days... and had to get tubes put in due to those illnesses turning into ear infections constantly. I can't say I've had it worse than other parents, but it does consume a lot of time.
I have a feeling people are checking in, but at times, there are no updates, which prompts no additional updates, compounding the problem. Just a theory based on personal experience.
chirp?
Thanks for responding.I'm updating faster and we should be all set. We just need people to update their characters to 4th level and then decide how they're going to pursue Eel's End.
I'm sorry to hear your daughter has issues, Corvus. I pray she has a swift recovery.
Machaera’s up-to-date, I think. That’s not to say that she couldn’t happily go on a spell shopping spree, but that’s never not true, and it can wait.

I think you may be right. I know I’m paranoid about just posting a series of posts without letting others get a word in edgewise and forcing a bunch of retcons to make sure that I don’t unilaterally push the story too far ahead or effectively split the party by making everyone else say, “OK, while she does that…”
I hope your daughter feels better soon: I can only imagine, personally, but I get horror stories from my colleagues with young children.
Thanks all. I didn't mean to over hype the situation at all... these have mainly been colds/flu here and there. The main problem is that the congestion doesn't drain and back fills her inner ear - making it a stomping ground for an ear infection. It's apparently quite common, as the surgery to insert tubes (exposes the inner ear to let the fluid dry out) is the leading surgery for young children.
I'll just be happy when this period of building up the immune system ends.
My sister had tubes put in 3 times while she was a kid, none of mine did so hopefully your daughter only needs the 1 set.
As to the game I just don't want to put to much and have people get left behind, Yanis is a patient person
Here's hoping everything turns out alright, Corvus.
I'm always pretty busy; apologies for not being the most active player.
Boy, it's been forever since I leveled up a Pathfinder character.
Please remind me: In addition tothe stuff from my class, I increase my HP and add 2 points to my ability scores. Right?
I had tubes twice as a kid, only one out of my 3 brothers and I came out more or less fine. It's a hassle but it should all work out. Here's hoping.
+1 to an ability score at level 4 Headsman. Otherwise, check the delta for changes with your class, assuming you're not multi-classing.
Well, it looks like our group has exceeded the 30% average :P
Honestly, other than the concern over the anesthesia for an age under 3, the tubes weren't that bad. She's still getting sick at the same frequency, and if the congestion goes to her inner ear, the tubes are doing their job and draining them, or providing access for medication directly as opposed to taking antibiotics and risking antibiotic immune variants. It's a process I guess, just a tiring one.
Glad to hear that everyone went through them all right though.
Just hopefully your daughter gets/feels better soon. My youngest is 5 and when little kids are sick they are really taxing since there is little you can do for them.
It's currently still evening I'm assuming? Since we hit The World's Meat at night and transported the prisoners directly?
Yup it's still evening, around about 11:00 PM or so.
Have we been keeping up with the loot list? If not, I can try to go back through and figure out what we have.
Hey, GM, what's your take on how these two stack together?
Intimidating Glare (Ex): The barbarian adds her Strength modifier in place of her Charisma modifier on all Intimidate checks to demoralize a foe. She can attempt an Intimidate check to demoralize an adjacent foe as a move action instead of a standard action. If the barbarian successfully demoralizes an adjacent foe, that foe is shaken for the remainder of the barbarian’s current rage.
and
Intimidating Prowess (Combat)
Your physical might is intimidating to others.
Benefit: Add your Strength modifier to Intimidate skill checks in addition to your Charisma modifier.
Would I add twice str, or keep stacking str and cha?
I would go with Intimidating Prowess since they don't stack
I already have Intimidating Prowess, heheh. Even if they don't stack, Glare's move-action demoralize is nice, and I'm planning on picking up something it's a prerequisite too, so I figured it was worth asking.
Str and Cha would stack together. The Intimidating Glare kicks in Str to replace your cha bobus for intimidate and the Intimidating Prowess stacks the two togwrher.
It puts the chocolate in your peanut butter.
Uh... sorry. I don'T know if I understand what you just said, stormcrow.
That said, I've looked it up and it's been made clear to me that the two cannot stack. Ah well. Guess I'll keep using Cha+Str.
I'm not sure if I'll stick with Intimidating Glare. I'll think about it.
This is why I should never use a smart phone to post replies...
Hello, everyone!
Just a quick update about stuff that will affect my posting for the next little while. I’ve got some medical folderol to deal with tomorrow: if all goes well, it will only really take me out of the loop for a few days, and hopefully my doctor won’t need to prescribe anything that will make my characters’ tactics even wackier than usual. If I do end up post something jaw-droppingly unwise in the next few days, blame the painkillers. :) When I’ll be able to get around to posting regularly is uncertain (probably around the end of the month), so in the meantime please do whatever it takes to keep things moving.
Merlin, there's a link to the loot spreadsheet in the second post on this page: I think the sheet is now up-to-date, with the reward for bringing back Vancaskerkin included in the gold. The thugs' stash is still listed separately, but I'm guessing we'll end up sharing it out.
Thanks Machaera, good luck with your medical stuff. I'm saving up for a robot body myself, then you just need a mechanic.
Good luck with the procedure and take care of yourself...
Everyone leveled up now at least?
Pretty much. I'm still agonizing over those last few skill points, though. It's not easy finding something to do with 12 skill points on a martial character, for some reason...
I'm a big fan of Craft: Dinner. Wait, that's Kraft Dinner....
