Should probably put one up, I'd rather not have to pull my punches too much. I will be busy then asleep for next 20 hours if anyone cares to post in recruitment to get it going, feel free.
Traveling for work the next few days. I should be able to post, just perhaps on a more limited basis until I get home.
Just an FYI, I'm also traveling for work through Wednesday. I should be able to post everyday, but it will likely be a little less often until I get back on Thursday.
Back from the business trip. Posting should become more frequent again.
Good to have you back.
Bloddgargler, I notice you have chosen the healer for the group, I look forward to see how you will integrate this character into the group.
I PM'd him an idea that would help set him up. He said he is going to read the KM player's guide and get back to me.
Any preferences on how to proceed. Peregrine of course has his preferences, but that's because he generally thinks he's always right, I as a player am flexible. :)
Choices for far.
1) Sneak up on them.
2) Approach in disguise.
3) Set up an ambush and hope they go looking for their guys.
4) Some ingenious plan we haven't thought of yet.
No strong preferences. As Vladimir had said, he will defer to the rest of you who got the information from Happs and Budgie.
The 3 of us are ready to follow someone's plan, while Peregrine tries to come up with one. Sounds like a leader to me.
Personally, I would like to don the cloaks, sneak into range of Peregrines magic and my bow to take out the guys on the watch towers. We could even set up a trap just in case they spot us as there guard drops and run to us.
This would incorporate all 3 options. I think that would prove most useful for us, but what do you all think?
As a player I'm pretty flexible, but I think I prefer sneaking (while disguised) to try and get within range and then hitting them quickly. I'm not sure we have enough knowledge of their patterns and the area to be able to set up an effective ambush.
Another option since Vorik is not sneaky at all is that he could offer to clod through the woods making plenty of noise and providing a distraction while the rest of you slip into range. This might even draw one or two out into the open rather than staying holed up in the camp. I could be disguised as one of the bandits, having too much to drink or just an unwitting traveler.
I would prefer either option 1 or 2...or perhaps a combination of the two.
Hmmm ... I think we have all shown in interest in wearing the cloaks for a disguise and sneaking into range where we can start taking some of them down. So we may as well go with that.
Although I understand the idea of you splitting up Vorik, I don't like the idea of you going by yourself, so maybe if Peregrine went with you. Then Vlamimir and myself could shoot from range, while you fight in close quarters, with Peregrine being your back-up?
Sound good?

Works for me. As soon as we are close enough in and Vorik has engaged the enemy, Vladimir will drop the bow and move in with his sword.
Just want to be clear .. Jaestra and Vladimir are sneaking through woods, Vorik and Peregrine riding on trail?
I believe that's correct.
As far as I believe that is correct. Would make sense as we are trying to sneak up without being seen.
DM Bloodgargler, when I put a post in saying "When I can get a shot off", would you like me to roll the attack and damage in the same post, let you roll it or wait until you say I can see someone and then roll it?
Can work with either way, but might want to wait on roll .. once you see someone, I will post the map.
Just want to be clear .. Jaestra and Vladimir are sneaking through woods, Vorik and Peregrine riding on trail?
Yep, that was my understanding.

..skullslug not wired right today so don't be shy correcting or calling for clarification on anything.
Just playing devil's advocate here...
Certainly doubling is cleaner and easier now, but keep in mind energy additions to weapons like frost or flaming do not get double on a crit and neither does precision damage like sneak attack. So once/if those things become a factor, we will need to be careful about separating the two from standard damage.
Do we still have a Divine User coming into the group?
Bloodgargler: Not sure how you're handling XP. Will you just tell us when we level up, or should we be tracking? If the later, have you handed any XP out yet? Maybe I missed it.
I was just planning on telling you when you level. Track is between fast and medium, and you ding in your sleep.
Sounds good. Thanks. :)
Hello, everyone!
Thanks to the munificence of DM Bloodgargler, I will be joining your band of burgeoning heroes. It seems that frontline combat is more than well represented already, so I am going to write up a druid. Hopefully I can have a draft posted soon for everyone's scrutiny.
Thanks!
Druid would be great. I am assuming Peregrine will return, plus we have a witch which expressed interest - but haven't heard from in a while. Druid works whether or not others return. Hopefully we will be able to kick it up a notch.
Here we go. Please let me know if anything is amiss. I copy-pasted from another character for formatting, so there might be a remnant I forgot to change.
DM Bloodgargler let me know that the party is very close to leveling, hence my character already at 2nd-level. ;)
I look forward to adventuring with you Dieter. I have a quick question ... what is a Sylph?
Air elemental related PC race out of Bestiary 2.
Here is the entry for the Sylph.
Hey Tanner, I think you may shorted yourself a bit. If I remember right, we're at 25 pt builds...you seem to be at 23 if I'm counting it right.
Here's the math before racial adjustments:
Strength 11 - Cost 1
Dexterity 12 - Cost 2
Constitution 14 - Cost 5
Intelligence 10 - Cost 0
Wisdom 18 - Cost 17
Charisma 8 - Cost -2
1+2+5+17-2=23
By golly, you're right. Thanks for the sharp eye. I'm going to bump my Intelligence to 12.
Edit: Oh right, we have a paladin. Never mind what I said about making poisons. :) I'll just take Spellcraft.
Welcome aboard Dieter, glad to have another along for the ride.
Does everything else look alright with my character sheet?

As best as I can tell, everything looks good mechanicall. With Dieter starting off at 2nd Level, I don't know for sure what DM Bloodgargler has you doing for starting gold though.
He told me 250gp in gear.
Just 1 thing I noticed, you have ranks in fly ... but you cannot put a rank into fly unless you have a means of flight. Such as wings or the Fly spell, unfortunately Feather Fall doesn't count as you only glide. Unless BloodGargler wishes to over-rule that.
From the d20pfsrd entry for Fly.
"You cannot take this skill without a natural means of flight or gliding." ;)
Ah, Touché! Well spotted.
My apologies.
Yep, looks good. We'll probably do half max hp/level +1 for additional levels.
HP is filled in, so I am all ready to go. :)
I take it we will be levelling soon then?
Has anybody been recording the loot we have been finding and / or claiming?
By the way Dieter, your spellcraft skill dice roll in your profile only says 1d2. How do you get it so you can have the formula written out, without it rolling them?
you can make one of the brackets "ooc"

I'm happy to start a Google Doc if that would work for everyone.
Works for me. :)
Link to our current list of treasure: TREASURE LIST
How do you get it so you can have the formula written out, without it rolling them?
Under my 'Dice' tab? There is no dice roller for profiles, so when you write out the formula, it posts it as-is. I do it for all of my rolls so I can just copy-paste as needed.
Ah, that is handy to know :) Thanks.
BloodGargler, any news on the Witch that was going to joining us?
Vorik, thank-you for doing the list of treasures. Is that including the items that each of us have claimed?
