Heh, it sure ain't Vrek
Folks, tis the season. Tomorrow I'll be heading to my family's home in another part of the state for a week. They do have internet, but it is more sporadic, so I'm afraid I may be irregular just when we're taking off.
Fa la lalala.
*I'm planning to mark Argent's use of sign language like this to distinguish from spoken dialogue. Line breaks too.*
Why don't we do bold for spoken language and italics for hand sign? Any objections?
As far as the holidays coming up, I understand people maybe a little sporadic but if we just keep moving on it shouldn't be an issue. If there is a battle, just leave instructions on what future actions you would likely take and we can NPC your character if needed.
I use italics for actions. Maybe use a spoiler or smaller and bigger text.
I usually have italics for thoughts. Maybe the star and in italics
Like... *What do you think of this?*
I use italics for thoughts myself.
I just use normal text for thought.
I normally use spoilers for alternate Languages besides Common/Undercommon.
A little house keeping on characters:
Leiafosaith: please put your memorized spells in your profile.
Argent: please place your full character in your profile (saves me time in checking things), designate your memorized spells, declare favored class and bonus, designate all equipment (I do not assume that you have any mundane equipment).
Shelquet: Dex is 16 why is initiative +4? Con is 12 but HP reads 1d8+3? Please calculate a/c, saves and CMD.
Aundrak: decided to go with just regular fighter? declare favored class and bonus. include armor check penalty in skills.
Quindavotos: please designate your specialization, barred schools, archetype, familiar statistics, all equipment (I don not assume that you have any mundane equipment), and spellbook (including all spells known). Calculate CMD. Declare favored class and bonus.
Liante: do you cast cure or inflict spells as your bonus? designate all equipment (I do not assume that you have any mundane equipment). Declare favored class and bonus.
Oops! I can't believe I made those mistakes/omissions! I'll fix the problems tonight/this coming up morning. I apologize PROFUSELY for the inconvenience, GM!
Going to bed soon, but I think I fixed all of the errors in the statblock. Again, apologies for the inconvenience, GM!
Ok favoured class declared. You probably guessed i had taken the hp anyway but it is now noted. Also chosen inflict spells as bonus. Will figure out what to buy in a couple hrs when i am home and can sit down and work it out. Totally forgot about equipment... who needs clothes anyway...
Will be done in ~ two hours.
equipment bought.posting in game play soon
Fixed.
Does flare trigger light blindness?
Can magic stone be used on stone arrowheads?
Flare doesn't trigger light blindness as it doesn't count as bright light.
Magic stone could be used to make stone arrow heads; however, damage would be as outlined in the spell and not as the bow. Magic Weapon on a bow would probably be more efficient.
Thanks for the clarification. Magic stone is a domain spell for me - I have to take it - so just trying to figure out how to make it relevant. So if cast on Aundrak's arrows it would switch the damage from 1d8 to 1d6+1 but would grant him a +1 to hit. Not much but better than a kick in the pants.
And... fixed.
DM gray, did the knowledge roll reveal much about the deep gnomes?

Sorry Favoured Class is Fighter and the bonus is supposed to be Skill Points put in perception. I forgot to put the Stealth Ranks. And yeah I have them typed up but haven't gotten it posted up. Sorry things have been hectic here recently...
Okay, it has been a while since I last ran a PBP and I'm having a little trouble with getting maps and what not available to everyone.
I'm thinking it would be easier just to email the documents to everyone. Would everyone send me a PM with his/her email address in it? Thank you!
Also, I've update the Campaign Tab to show the rules for travel on the hex grid.
PPS, I use Open Office for my word documents. What does everyone else use?
I will be using Word when I finish updating to Windows 8.1
Okay, I have emailed the map to those whom have sent me their email address. You will notice that there is a square where the adventure begins which assumes that you have marched your troops a ways from the fortress already.
With Xmas being the next couple of days, I don't anticipate a lot of posting but I will check in daily.
May your holidays be filled with the anguish of your enemies, the advancement of your positions, and of course:
♪Deep gnomes roasting on an open fire...♫
Having difficulties with the PM system right now. So...

Okay so I'm counting a two week march from Vothys to the staging area. Are we assuming that we are already at the staging area?
Then its another two weeks from there to Fastervalt plus an 8 day detour to and from 0320 for the cache. Am I reading that right?
There are 17 squares from the staging area to 0320 by the shortest route possible. We will assume that the march to the staging area goes smoothly and then you all can decide how you want to go about getting there.
Posting soon! Sorry for the delay, I think I had the flu, there was an outbreak of it in my hometown.
So I am guessing I missed somethings...
Hey I am sorry for this but I will be required to drop this campaign. I am really sorry for this...
Feel free to use Aundrak as an NPC.
Sorry to see you go Aundrak. For now, let's just plan on having Aundrak stay and lead the army while the rest of you do whatever you need to do.
I really am sorry for this.
I think I'm still a little iffy on the timing of this all. Is it even remotely possible to get both the cache and make an excursion into the fungal jungle inside of six weeks? The place is huge! How would we even know where to start looking for allies/pawns?
Be well, Aundrak
And I think putting NPC Aundrak in charge of the army while the rest of us go off is the best way to go.
At this point, I would recommend heading toward the cache and having the army starting moving toward another staging point a week or two after you leave.
Hey guys, just got back! When my flu relapsed, I got pneumonia really bad, so that was great fun >_>... not really. I will be posting soon once I get my campaigns caught up!
Did I miss the initiative count for this fight? Did they beat all 6 of us?!
You all beat them. Which is why you all got to act before them in the surprise round. Their action in the surprise round was charging. Now it is round 1 and you all act before them. For sake of simplicity, I take initiative in posting order to limit posting delays.
Oh I see. So everybody acted in the suprise round, we didn't actually suprise them. That's what was confusing me.
Wow guys, our rolls are horrible. This would suck wiping on the 1st encounter!
YUP. That +1 to hit/dmg I'm providing is not helping much at all. :o
I'm confused - I thought Argent had taken 3 hits, knocking him down to negatives. That's why I wanted to get to him for a healing spell. . .and why he was waiting for Leiaf's action before posting.
Just for giggles...
so . . yeah, we suck :(
Also, looks like Shelquet got a crit last round but didn't roll to confirm.
I rolled the crit for Shelquet to help speed things up. Argent is still up but just barely.
edit: okay, I just reviewed the posts and it looks like I didn't record one damage to Argent in a post.
Party's attack rolls = 10+11+5+1+8+7+16+1+10+4+1+20+12+2+1+5
Seriously guys, another 1! That is CRAZY!
we are boned.
I have NEVER seen so many natural 1's and I'm currently GM'ing 3 games online and working on getting a home game going, since my Carrion Crown RL group wiped in Beast of Lepidstadt.
There are an inordinate amount of ones coming across the board.
