DM Carbide's PFS Emerald Spire

Game Master John Woodford

You know what to do here. At this point, I'd recommend setting up characters.

I'm planning on making a Kitsune Ninja 1, with the eventual goal of becoming an Arcane Trickster. I'll work on it tonight, should be ready late or by tomorrow.

I've already got this level 1 cleric of Shelyn made so I think I'll bring her. Channeling/healing/buffing focused. I've got selective channeling at 1st and the rest of my feats will be channeling focused.

I may tweak her slightly before we start but for the most part I'm ready to go.

Checking in. Thinking a Ranger (Dungeon Rover).

Hello all - not sure what I'll be playing in this game, just got back from a weekend at a con, will recuperate a bit and think on characters. I emailed Oladon and Feral to let them know this thread was up.

Feral was at the con with me, will be driving home until late tonight so may not check in right away, and Oladon is an incurable slacker, so who knows what she'll do. :p

Hrm... I was thinking I'd bring Kelevan, but he's level 2 already and I'm thinkin' it might be better to start fresh for this.

Sounds like we need some melee... lemme see what I can come up with.

Also, hi Carbide. Don't tell Bea I'm playing at a different table of yours, eh? :P

Perish the thought :-).

Alrighty. I think I'll be bringing Eva Baldursdóttir, tri-archetyped monk (Ki Mystic, Monk of the Four Winds, Monk of the Sacred Mountain).

Hey, that's me!

I'm pondering. I'm leaning toward a skald.

Well, it seems we're a bit short on arcane, although we'll have it down the road with the arcane trickster. I'm considering doing something completely different, like a Wayang Witch, both of which would be new to me. It seems we'll have some buffing from Melody and Feral's skald, so some debuffing of baddies might be a good idea.

Unless I try an Arcanist...

Thoughts?

Ok, here's Justin's ninja. I should be good to go.

Skalds are pretty awesome; I played one up to seventh level in Tek's Dragon's Demand. I recommend Extra Rage Power because the ability to give others rage powers is the big advantage that class has over bards.

@Khel: Depending on how Tek's ranger is built, arcane or more melee power would be useful I suppose. Whatever you want really. Skalds will also have a little bit of arcane to go around and can will probably assist in the damage department.

I'm thinking more melee focused, as I've already got two archery focused rangers. Likely making a dwarf with the Torag faith style combat style from Inner Sea Combat.

Cool! That'll be different.

I've never played a cleric before so I thought a channel-bot was good enough.

Does anyone have the Emerald Spire backer boon? I think I'd like to use mine on this character (seems appropriate).

@Feral: you had one didn't you?

Three female characters so far.

Girl-power party? Eh? Eh? Lol.

Yeah, I've got it. I haven't used mine yet either.

So at this point we're waiting on Slacktite, Hope Crusher and Slackhel?

And he called me a slacker! The nerve...

I'm a bit anxious about bringing 3 melee to a dungeon crawl but I think we can make it work.

That's the spirit!

Now go post in IC, you slacker.

So - if you're nervous about too much melee, shall I go all witchy on us? I'll need to slack a bit on making a character...

I'll need to slack a bit...

So nothing new, huh?

DM, say the word and I'll find you a replacement for Slackhel.

A witch would be good but if you want to join the melee club, have at it!

I'll have to see about a way to get a climb speed...

DM, say the word and I'll find you a replacement for Slackhel.

...who signed you up for the damned game in the first place. Nice!

What, did you think that would mean I wouldn't out you for the slacker you are?!

Howdy - Khelreddin here.

DM Carbide - any recommendations for additional languages? We're somewhere in the River Kingdoms, right?

Correct. Given that you're going into a deep dungeon, I would recommend Undercommon. There doesn't seem to be a lot of interaction with people in the area around the Spire.

Feral and Khelreddin, please make an informational header for your characters like Eva, Melody, and Kali have. It makes my life a little easier.

Hey what about Kragnor!?

Yes, yes, you can put it behind a spoiler tag too. Sheesh, some people are so sensitive...though I guess that's what happens when certain other players get on your case for being a slacker :-P.

If Slacktite doesn't want people getting on his case for his being a slacker, he should stop being one!

Btw, for anyone who hasn't seen it: Chrome extension (or for Firefox users, Firefox extension).

Apart from rearranging my Campaigns page and highlighting new posts, what do the tools do?

Rearrange your campaigns page, highlight new posts, and let you blacklist that Feral guy.

And you can decide what color you want the posts highlighted!

Indeed.

Header's been updated!

Today is full of meetings at work, so I may be slow posting--esp. as the next couple of posts may be kind of involved.

Just so you guys know, I'll be leaving this Friday and returning sometime Sunday (but possibly not getting to PbPs until Monday).

Thanks for the warning. Hope you're off doing something fun.

Camping. :) Or, as Feral likes to say, "hiking with bears".

Anyway, Friday's still a few days off, so I'll be sure to post a reminder Thursday night or Friday morning when I actually leave.

Raggy bears, shaggy bears, baggy bears, too?

Hey! I'm going camping this weekend as well, though I will be taking my wife, and 8, 5, & 2 yr old girls.

I think Eva's trip will be quieter...

We really need to get out of the doorway.

Good idea. Fortunately for you, the only thing pinning you there so far is an already-wounded wounded goblin dog.

Is Kali up now?

Kali is still delaying until after Melody.

Then you should've gone before Eva.

I believe we are now just starting round 3. Kali acted in both rounds 1 and 2. At the start of round 3, Kali is delaying until after Melody.
