Finished leveling Edric and Talia.
I used Edric's Racial Skill point for craft (armorsmith) to air Malthir. Talia's skill point went to Acrobatics, and her feat went for Iron Will (Hopefully this will prevent her from running off again in the middle of a fight).
As far as shopping I have some quick questions. First did I miss us buying potions before we leveled? I remember discussing it but I don't recall actually making the transaction and I can't seem to find it on the boards. If we did by potions what did we get and who got what?
As far as crafting this is completely foreign to me so I need a little help. Malthir would have been busy with Cas's order most of the week but would have had a chance to start on a Breastplate for Edric correct? What would I need to spend in gp for the material?
The only mundane transaction Edric would have made would have been to trade in Carrot's (that’s the name I gave the horse I got from Happs) ridding saddle for a pack saddle.
We bought two potions of cure light wounds, which went to you and Malthir, since I already had one and Fenna and Vaysh could heal themselves.
We also bought two potions of Protection from Evil, which went to you and me, because Malthir has his Smite which gives him an AC boost vs evil.
Finally, we bought a potion of bless, which I'm not sure who is holding on to. Probably Fenna.

Sounds about right. We need to find those fangberries so we can get discounted potions...maybe we should ask around at the fort to see if any of the hunters have seen them in the past?
Now that some of us have got some knowledge(Nature), we might know something about these Fangberries.
Also, now that Casimir's taken a level of bard, the potion of bless is pretty much obsolete.

Its a nice backup to his ability, might as well use it in the next big encounter though....

The cost of materials for a normal breastplate is 1/3 of 200gp or 66.67. If you want to go MW add another 150gp/3 or 50gp. Total is 116.67, you should have enough cash.
I am waiting to go for the big daddy armor since I already have BP.

I would check Bless and Inspire Courage carefully, I believe one of them was changed so they would stack. IIRC IC is competence, bless is morale.

Ah, you're right, inspire courage gives a morale bonus to saves vs. charm, but a competence bonus to attacks and damage.
Very nice, that means your bonus Bless spells will be very useful!!!! Or is that Vaysh...nice thing about being a melee character, not much to keep track of...
Vaysh will get bless as a bonus spell at 3rd level.
Hey folks. I am really not feeling good ATM. Reason I didn't get anything up yesterday, and not certain about today. Will be a few hours if I do. Head is terrible pounding.

Sorry you are not feeling well, sleep it off and get better and hope to see you on the boards later.
^ Same. Won't be posting any more tonight, last evening with girlfriend for a month or two. Get well soon Barator.
Think it was something that I ate on Sunday that didn't agree with me. And I don't think I drank much water on Sunday. Those two things I think just added up to not feeling well yesterday. Tossed a post up on the IC thread, though I didn't have much to voice up on yet over what is going on, for the moment I'm watching them because no matter what, they deserve their time together.

Good to hear you're feeling better.
Inner Purity
You have trained extensively with your healing ability, and with intense concentration you are able to call upon your Lay on Hands ability without having any hands free. You are only able to do this when using Lay on Hands on yourself as a swift action.
I only woke up 20 minutes ago and the wording is clunky, but thats roughly what i'm thinking Malthir. Effectively it's power level is akin to Dodge and Shield focus.
Just a note for the coming weeks, before I forget.
We leave for a weeks holiday on Mallorca on Saturday. There will almost certainly be internet access at our hotel, but posting will be much less frequent. We get back on the 27th.
After that, the next two weeks will be spent around Denmark, visiting family mostly. I'll have my smartphone for reading and making short posts, but there may be some days where posting will be a pure minimum.
After that, I'm back at work and home in the evenings, and things should return to normal.
Thanks for the notice :)
Similarly, I'll be at PaizoconUK this weekend, so I'm unlikely to get much chance to post.
Nothing until September, then I go on a weeks cruise, not sure if I will have any internet access...will check it out, wouldn't mind doing a little posting on vacation...

Must be nice, in the US we are basicaly not allowed to take more than a week, it is frowned upon unless you work for the government. All of my family is english so they get a fair amount of vacation and have come over here numerous times for 2-3 weeks at a time...at least I get to see what its like to take that much time off...my wife gets 8 days paid vacation per year...WOW... :)
I love Mallorca BTW, went there 5 years ago, had a blast. The couple that we went with though insisted on hitting the clothing optional beach several times though, could have done without some of those visuals...
LOL - we'll probably just stick to the kiddie-pool. :-D
There is an excess of ninjaing in the PBP thread... All ninja's please vacate the thread :)

Yeah it got me twice today already.
Hey folks. Just spoke with DM_Alex. He has gone to his hometown for a few days. The forums don't work on the web browser that he has, so he will be out of touch from the boards. He said his responses will be 'very limited', so we may get something from him. He says that he should be back Monday at the latest.
Hope everyone has a nice weekend. Fenna, play some stuff at PaizoConUK and think of us schlubs that aren't at a con this weekend.
And that's the news!
All right, nice to know. I'll stop checking the forums every half hour looking for an update then.
As already mentioned, we're flying to Mallorca tomorrow afternoon anyway. I'll take this oportunity to go offline and focus all my attention on the family. About time, really.
Have a good weekend, everyone. Enjoy the sun if you have it and PaizoConUK in Fenna's case. If you get bored, hunt down Joshua F Frost and torture him untill he shows you his copy of the APG (or just ask nicely).
uhhg, you mean I have to spend time with my wife and kid ALL weekend...glad I am about to start my 3rd glass of wine LOL's.
Sounds good, have a good weekend and we can pick up Malthir's death on Monday....it should be heroic though, I figure if I am going down, it is going to be with guns blazing!!!!!!
Heh, I wouldn't start planning your funeral just yet, Mal. Now that we are all in position with buffs in place, we can make 10 attacks for every one of his, between the three of us, our mounts and Kressle. And that still leaves Vaysh and Fenna free to heal and Karina to aid us.
Tusky may get another hit or two in, and one of us may go down into the negs, but Sir Piggy is bacon (unless of course Kressle pulls off another crazy stunt :-S).

I have 3 hit points and he can 1 shot kill me right now, unfortunately, I think because Fenna didn't move last round she can't reach me to heal me due to the rough terrain. That leaves me with 2 options; drop my weapon and go fully defensive and swift heal myself (can't see him doing that) or drop my shield go all out attack and swift heal myself. Vaysh can heal me for 1d4+1 points and I can heal myself for 1d6. As long as we both roll well he can't 1 shot kill me then, unless he crits me then I am toast either way...lets hope that doesn't happen.
Its an animal, so it will tend to vent out at whoever's dealing the most damage to it. We'll have to see what happens ;)
I'm back now and exhausted though- Will update tomorrow.
Just a quick hello from the sun. Hotel has coin-opperated internet, so I'll be on once or twice a day for a quick update.
With everyone hacking away at our boorish friend, only DM AK knows who he's going to strike out at - and as you said, Vaysh can heal you from a distance.
We'll see what happens once everyone posts and DM AK updates. Now that Kressle has her hatchets, she ought to be able to deal out some significant hurt, and as I showed, you really have to roll crap not tio hit - and Tusky has to roll above average to hit us.
(unless of course Kressle pulls off another crazy stunt :-S).
Heh, she personally thought it was a good tactical move. She still had her armour and hoped she could attract the boar's attention and dodge aside, allowing the heavier armed Malthir to make his move. The punch in the face was really just being defiant though.

Yes Malthir has to admit that his respect for her just grew a bit with that move. He is thinking that the AOO hit and then the normal goring would have finished him...permanently.
Checking in again real quick, but I can see that my previously posted action is still valid, so it's all good.
I'll most likely be on again in about 24 hours.
LOL - you're killing me, guys. Almost 24 hours later, and the action I posted on saturday has still not taken effect.
Oh well, i guess I'll just wait for tomorrow to do something.
Vacation is great so far, although this All Inclusive concept will wreck havoc on my weight. The hotel is nice, food good (and plentiful) and both the kid, the girlfriend and myself are having the best time.
Going scuba diving tomorrow, which I'm really looking forward to.
I'll check back in tomorrow evening.

Sounds good :) glad your having a nice time. Game is updated and i'm pretty much at my PC all day for the next few days- I'd like to get the game moving at a nice pace again now Fenna and I are back- Jace clearly can't help checking in daily even on holiday so we're fine on that front :P
In other news I almost one-shotted Edric... lol.

What can I say, the Nat 20 likes you :(
Its your action by the way.
In case you guys miss my edit-
I much prefer to use your guys rolls rather than rolling on your behalf :), and that was a brutal round from Edric!
Had a chat with Barator about alignment and thought i'd post my thoughts.
Alignment-wise, I do monitor it and try and judge carefully which alignment I think a player is playing/heading towards.
Casimir, I think your tending towards Good, but in terms of Law and Chaos you are firmly on the fence, perhaps leaning towards Chaos a little.
Vaysh, your firmly into the good camp, but i'm not actually feeling the Lawful side as much- so far i've seen Vaysh as a caring benefactor, more of a neutral good type, or Lawful Good with Neutral Good tendancies.
Fenna you are leaning Good very slightly in my eyes, the Lawful side doesn't seem too strong but I suspect thats the whole 're-finding herself' to some extent. Mostly LN suits well.
Malthir with the possible exception of not wanting to heal Kressle i've thought you've fit Lawful Good very well, and i'm glad we seem to be on the same wavelength with how a Paladin should behave.
Edric you have far less posts than the others so its harder to judge, but I think you've got Lawful Neutral down to a fine art lol.
^^ These are just my thoughts, I won't dramatically declare your alignment has changed, it will be a gradual process if at all. On this note, if anyone does want to change their alignment inform me and we'll work towards it slowly- much like Kressle is doing...

I don't want to play Malthir as pefect lawful good all of the time (I know that is not your desire either). It is easier to play an alignment via PBP I find since you can think about your actions and roleplaying more, but every once in a while I want to throw out a curveball, like he did with the healing. It is a little more for character development, learning, and rolepplaying for Malthir. I think to think back to the fact that he is a man, with all of his imperfections, and trying to live up to LG Paladin ideals is not always easy and he has only been a paladin for about 2-3 years really.
His opinion about Kressle has been changing for when we get back to Oleg's, this should be interesting, I can hear them yelling "burn her!" already!!!
Obviously can't speak to your interpretations of what alignments mean, as they are very interpretative things. I'm just not exactly certain what I'm not being LG about.
So, as a warning, this has become an alignment thread. No attitude is supposed to come through in the following, I just like talking about this kind of thing. My wife and I talk about AL a bit when we are watching TV.
A lawful good character acts as a good person is expected or required to act.
I am probably doing this.
She combines a commitment to oppose evil with the discipline to fight relentlessly.
Committed to it, yes. However, I'm working on discipline. New to all this and such.
She tells the truth, keeps her word, helps those in need, and speaks out against injustice.
I tell the truth, I keep my word, I'm trying to help, and I repeatedly speak against injustice. I know a number of times when making my posts I have thought about violating the first two of those tenants, but have realized that my character would not do it.
A lawful good character hates to see the guilty go unpunished.
Certainly did not want to see the guilty go without punishment, but am willing to learn of people in general. I seek to know who it is that are being punished and why they are being punished. As I said about Happs', I didn't morn the death of the man he was, but wanted to remember the man he could be.
Lawful good combines honor with compassion.
Think that I do that too.
Now lets look at the worst AL write up in the game, NG.A neutral good character does the best that a good person can do.
I probably fit this description as well.
He is devoted to helping others.
I am clearly not a man, while LG refers to women. I submit this as proof that only women can be Paladins, and would like to further state that I could not be NG because I am not a man.
OK, I am also devoted to helping others.
He works with kings and magistrates but does not feel beholden to them.
Sadly, this has never been tested at all in the group that we have been dealing with. Though I have gone with general group opinion rather than giving into the more Chaotic impulses that are represented in this line.
As an aside, I think that this is a terrible line. I have joked with my players that NG is the best AL because it states that you work with the rulers of the land. If the DM has any disagreements just point them to this line. The other ALs don't give you automatic connection to the rulers of the land, but NG seems to.
Neutral good means doing what is good and right without bias for or against order.
So far I think I have been heavily biased towards Order. I know that I have thought about setting Kressle and Karina free in the night so that they would be able to go about their lives without worry, but have not done so because of the violation it would mean towards the characters beliefs. She hopes that Kressle will find compassion with the judgment that is coming, but is unwilling to subvert that judgment.
Now that the quote is over, I just don't much like the description of NG that we have been provided. It really doesn't give you a strong feel for what the alignment really means in comparison to the repeated examples that most of the ALs provide.
Anyway, like I said, I'm not trying to stir the hornet's nest here. I just like reasonable length discussions of AL (or in other words, I don't like reading the pages of crud that gets tossed up in the forums, but more reasonable talks about it).
Anyway, back to Vaysh. Perhaps the lawful side is reflected strongly in what I have chosen to avoid doing rather than what I have chosen to do.
Vaysh certainly isn't Chaotic in any way, i've just not seen much of the Law side of her alignment as its so overshadowed by the Good :).
It wasn't a critiscism, just my impressions so far throughout the game. I daresay with a trial looming, Vaysh will have ample opportunity to demonstrate her lawful side.
The strongest impression that I have towards Vaysh leaning NG slightly is her fierce protective, benefactor instincts. I wasn't saying she is NG, only that she is LG with NG tendencies; which is fine. Alignment ain't clear-cut.
Ya ya. I'm not saying you were, just wanted to see where I was not fulfilling your thoughts of LG. Didn't take what you said as a criticism, more of a point of view I wanted to have expanded upon.

But the balls in the players court at the moment- I got nothing to throw at you currently, only reacting.

Gotcha, just waiting on the other folks to put their 2 cents in about Jhod. Looks like Vaysh and I are okay with him, need at least one more vote and it is law :)
