Damersal, you out there Buddy? Its been quiet on your end.
Maybe he stayed behind at the church?
Sorry, hectic day today, new post should be up in the morning.
I've been worried about Damersel, too. I understand that real life takes priority, but the lack of communication is what bothers me. I don't think 1 post/weekday is unreasonable for a player, and at the very least just let us know you're swamped and can't post in full today or this week, whatever. But the lack of any level of engagement makes me think that the player's withdrawal is inevitable and, worse, will probably be unannounced. So it's left to the rest to decide when the player's quit playing for him. Which sucks for us, because nobody wants to be the bad guy if the player actually has a good excuse...
Agreed. No one wants to be the bad guy. I would hope he would be understanding though, as Im sure he would expect any of us to be if the situation were reversed.
I hope he's ok. I think maybe the group should keep going for a while and see if he shows up. We can get to or through another encounter with him as an NPC, maybe? Recruit again after that? Just suggestions.
TBH, one of the reasons I've been worried about Damersel in particular is because if you look at his other aliases, he has a history of disappearing without notice.
He left a game he was DMing without notice, but he still posted here, so I don't think something tragic happened to him. I think he's just resistant to recognize that he doesn't have time to participate in these games. The result is a gradual withdrawal and disappearance, instead of a forthright concession that lets the group figure out how to continue the game with the least interruption.
[Just checking in as you guys finish your shopping.]
Im fine with being done with shopping, though we need to figure out if Damersel is still with us so we know to give him a share.
Did my math sound fair to Rutter and Senjin at least?
Sounds Good. Senjin is going to try to learn what he can at the barracks about the situation in the city...who is rioting...what if any factions are involved
Whaddya want to do about that brooch?
[btw, updated profile with spells prepared and link to a character sheet]
Sigh, looks like Damersel has probably left the game. Unless he posts today, I'll plan to post a recruitment thread tomorrow morning and leave it open through Wednesday evening
Oh, and help me remember: My Knowledge/Memory Subdomain power is Recall.
With a touch, I can have you re-roll any Knowledge skill check made in the last minute, with an insight bonus equal to my Int mod (+3).
6 times a day!
So, call on me for those Local, History, Arcana, Nobility, etc checks. We can figure out a good way to role play them.
And yes, I am aware of the irony of asking for help remembering a power named Recall.
:-)
Whew!! Finally found enough time to put together the recruitment post, since it looks like Damersel the Abandoned has turned the tables and abandoned us. It's here:
Feel free to comment on the applications. I plan to choose someone by Monday. And now I'll go back to working on the post for when you arrive at the castle, look for it later today.
I think I like Jericho Mason the most at this point (with Jericho's post being the last one posted). Tom's idea for him sounds interesting.
The other concepts sounds good too, though, so I wouldnt be opposed to any of them in general.
Tom's my DM in a pbp Second Darkness and so far has shown good reliability. I know he posts a lot from a phone so his access to the boards is pretty good.
TBH, I'm kinda hoping more people apply. I think an armored melee character would balance this party best. We're all strikers, with no defenders.
Yea, Im finding it kinda strange how few people applied to the last, and are applying to this one. Could possibly be cause of Cloud's specificness in what we are looking for, but that doesnt seemt to stop other games from getting alot of responses.
I wonder if its cause of which AP it is...
Now you scared one away! :-)
Lol!
FWIW, while Rutter is correct, I care less about if their build is optimized than if they can post everyday. We can start balancing party abilities if we can gain some levels! For that, we must post.
I don't know if the AP is the issue. Interesting question.
I like Jericho's shiver addiction and his other concepts.
And a mobile fighter can still be a tank. The extra abilities are not hampered by armor or based on speed.
Doesn't appear the AP is the cause for light recruitment response. I blame St. Patrick's day.
Linky to AP General Discussion Thread
And for making me waste my lunch hour researching this, I blame Copper. :-)
Next time, make sure to pay in gold ;)
Yeah, I like the character, too. If y'all don't think we'll miss a tank or that he can play that role, I'm good with that character.
Thanks everyone. :) That's what comes out of my head after working for like 10 hours solid.
This is one of the few APs I wanted to play in, rather than DM, so I'm hoping it works out, although I guess I'm the only one left. :P
Happy Monday everyone!
Good morning! Good Week? Hope to get rid of this broach soon, seems like we have held onto it way too long. ;-)
Interestedly awaiting Cloud's decision on who is joining us, too!
Happy Monday!
...And the winner is........
Tough choice, I liked both Bron and Jericho, but I decided to go with Jericho in the end.
Jericho, welcome to the game! I should be able to fit you in very soon, so just keep following the game thread. Oh yeah, and I think that you left out a HP from your CON score on your character sheet.... you'll probably need that in the future ;)
Thanks everyone :) look forward to playing. I'll go through the sheet with a fine tooth comb tomorrow morning.
"effin gnomes". Priceless.
Are we still on track for Jericho to join us soon? We've just joined the guard, but according to his background, he's left the guard and joined a militia. Unless he wants to tweak it to having left the Sable Company or the Hellknights and joined the guard.
I have faith that Cloud can make it work
Out sick today, guys. I should be back tomorrow or next day.
Everybody have a nice weekend?
A lot of yard work..but that is a good thing, I like working on the yard.
Great weekend here. Rain comes tomorrow, though.
Been rainin here about nonstop all day long.
I might be moving for a job on Monday, and I'm letting all of my affected games know.
Hopefully there won't be any lapse in my online appearances, but in case there is, you'll know why I'm not posting.
Just FYI, as soon as you get Verik back, you'll all be advancing to 2nd level! Keep your 1st level stats around for the moment in case anything happens while you case the butcher shop, but I wanted to give everyone the heads up so they can get their stats done over the weekend if they want to.
Allright! Some extra HPs to help keep me upright.
Woo, that means another cantrip for me! *rolls eyes*
Can we go straight to 3rd level? :P
Neva's 2nd level hp roll:
Senjin's HP at 2nd level
2nd Level Additions
HP: 8 + 2Con + 1 FavClass
+1 BAB
+1 Fort; +1 Ref
Two-Handed Weapon Combat Style
Pushing Assault Bonus Feat
Skills: Mostly added to existing skills, but put 2 points in Intimidate, I figure to put all these scars to good use.
2nd level hp roll
Heck yes :P
2nd level additions:
HP: 6+ 1 Con +1 Favored Class= 8
5 skill points: Bluff, Intimidate, Know(arcana), Know (local), Spellcraft
+1 BAB
+1 Will
+1 level 1 spell/day
+1 cantrip known
Traveled yesterday. Will post tonight!
I'll move this over here for discussion.
40 gp from the two men’s pockets
(300 gp)a set of masterwork chainmail from Verik
(302 gp)a masterwork spear from Verik
15 magical arrows from Verik
(400 gp)a masterwork composite longbow (+2 str) from Verik
a magical potion from Verik
(2000+ gp)a magical silver dagger found in the office
a stash of various coinage and jewelry:
400 gp
740 sp
800 gp of various gems and jewelry
Senjin would be interested in the Bow, Arrows, and Chainmail. I think Jericho can also use all these so go ahead and speak up if you want to split these up. Their value can be deducted from any share of the rest of the loot.
We should probably invest in some cure potions. I wouldn't mind the dagger, but would probably upset the split.

Also, the 1000 gp for the mission that we just received. Rutter doesn't need any of the items (they're too big for him) - he'll take his portion in gold and/or gems.
Should we be charged the market price for the items we claim from a stash or the selling price? I guess the market price is more fair for those who have specific items they need to purchase that we're not likely to find, such as wands. But that discourages us from claiming equipment that can be useful short-term, but doesn't fit our long-term vision of our character. For example, Rutter might not want to claim a +1 dagger now for 2000gp, because my ultimate vision for him is to dual wield kukris, but if he was charged the same price he could sell it for later, he might go ahead and take it for now.
HP roll: (nice use of a 20)
Real HP roll: (stupid dice roller - if we can use the average...)
I would figure anyone wanting gear from the list would take it for the market sell price, as part of their share. So Rutter could take the dagger for 1000 (cause thats what we would get for selling it anyway), and then when he gets tired of it, he could sell it for that himself.
