Hello! Thank you for choosing me and I really look forward to playing and roleplaying with this group!
Welcome! I am looking forward to battling the demon hordes with you all!
Hello! Thank you for choosing my wizard! I look forward to playing and experiencing this adventure path. The group selected looks really amazing and I can't wait to start!
Hello, DM and Players! Thanks for the selection!
Two questions before I finalize my character:
First, the alternate Favored Class option for a Tiefling Paladin is +1 hp to Lay on Hands when he uses it to heal himself. Is that option available at Level 1, before I gain the LoH's Class Feature?
It occurred to me, that since a Sacred Servant doesn't have to negotiate for simple tasks, and since there are strong redemption elements to the AP, that Quinn might summon demons or fiendish creatures with the ability. This could be the permanent case from start to finish, or it could last until some point at which Quinn demonstrates a profound connection to goodness/Iomedae/other-goodly-power, and his heritage is overlooked. (I know the story elements of Campaign Traits potentially resolve themselves at some point.)
Or, if none of that suits, I am perfectly happy to let the matter drop! It's not intended to be cheese. I promise. It won't affect how the character is played or my playing enjoyment.
I'm looking forward to getting started!
EDIT: Question the Third: I noticed that another of the characters (Hyram) has the Exposed to Awfulness Campaign Trait. Quinn's backstory works for EtA, of course. But, it also works very well for Stolen Fury with very little to no alteration. If you want a more complete spread of the Campaign Traits, it would not be a problem for me to make the change.
1) They really did put that in there without a qualifier... lol... Yea, it is ok to take it at level 1.
3) Stolen Fury would work well also. In fact, if you are willing, I would prefer that, but Eta is ok.
4) The average cruising airspeed velocity of an unladen European Swallow is roughly 11 meters per second. (heh)

All,
1st gameplay post is up, so have at it. I will move the game forward dramatically on Tuesday.

Hey-ho, all! Glad to see everybody and I'm definitely still interested. And a special thanks to DM Papa.DRB for the invitation!
Awesome! I'll finalize everything, and tweak the backstory so that it's the cultist, rather than a demon that poisons Quinn. Nothing else needs to be changed to make Stolen Fury work.
I just wanted to let you know that when I was doing an audit of my character, I realized that I had bought her light crossbow, which I get for free due to arcane bond. With the 35gp find, I purchased a journal (10 gp), and a scroll of expeditious retreat (25 gp).
@All - Please click on "WotR-Tactical" in my tag line to make sure you can see the Tactical Map. Right now there is "dark flagstone" over most of it with a compass rose in the lower right hand corner. I will use this for encounters, etc. Other maps will have links posted to on the "Campaign info" tab.
@Ezro - Please add your fluff to your profile (description, history, etc.)
@Hyram - Please add both the fluff and crunch to your profile, and create your tag line.
@Alikia - Ok.
Thank,
-- david
Edit: Oh, and tomorrow, Monday, is a lousy day for me (that is why I said daily Tuesday thru Saturday) so I may not be able to post. I have to drive back home (2 hours), get ready for the monthly staff meeting at my part time job (I am retired), then a 4 hour shift in the afternoon, then on call for the hospital tomorrow night, then drive back to campground on Tuesday morning. *blech*
No problems with the map for me. Everything updated and finalized on the Character Sheet.
Changes made as requested! I also have no problems with the map on my end. I also added the silver holy symbol I forgot to add from Touched by Divinity.
I am not having any issues with the maps either. I can see the gray cobblestones and the compass rose.
All updated and no problem seeing the maps. I just noticed, with three longsword users in the party, it will be interesting when we start finding magic longswords!
Dibs!

Lol! I didn't realize we were playing "shotgun" rules!
Maybe each time we find a magic longsword, the DM will throw in three! I know wishful thinking! :)
"You mean that chest had 3 +2 Frost, Keen Longswords? Awesome!"
Obviously, in order to not cause party conflict, all longswords must go to the ones not proficient with them. And also so that way the wizards gets to carry even more stuff to weigh them down.
Out of curiosity, are all of our characters just waiting on the spider to attack/not attack?
Mechanically, yeah... pretty much. Assuming it's alive, and not just a husk, Aladir and Alikia basically initiated combat while Ezro, Hyram, and Quinn have readied attacks against the spider if it charges.
So, we're waiting to see if there's any reaction or no reaction from the spider.

Fair enough, I was just ensuring that I wasn't missing something. Thank you for the confirmation.
If this spider is just a half squished spider with a rock on it in the dark, imma be mad.
Maybe its a polymorphed kobold...
Maybe its a polymorphed kobold...
What if it's a fiendish polymorphed kobold, that also has mythic abilities? O.O

A polymorphed, fiendish, dire kobold with mythic abilities and class levels!
Or worse...a disguised vampiric half-dragon half-troll lycanthropic fiendish snail with psionic powers!
Oh, no... It's something much worse.
Since at the moment, the spider exists in a quasi-state of life and death, what we are facing is the dreaded Schroedinger's Spider!

NOT THE DREADED QUASI-LIFE/DEATH! ANYTHING BUT THAT! Next thing we know spiders are going to start to be able to come back via reincarnate and raise dead! Are we prepared to face that awful reality?
Do you all know how much energy a 1 year, 11 month, 2 week old girl child takes up!!!! We have our grand daughter for the weekend and we just put her to bed up at the camper. I'll get a post out in a few minutes after I have a shot of 18 year old single malt Scotch.....

Edit: And the post is up. I will have more time in the morning, after my wife and I get up and before she does.
Edit2: Yup, August 2nd for her.
Somebody's about to have a birthday! =)
Regarding Horgus: It was intended to be a friendly sort of, "Shut up and wait your turn." So, my first choice would be Diplomacy. I just put the Intimidate check in there in case you felt there was a little too much menace behind it.
At the moment, Quinn wouldn't be ostracizing any of the fallen... even if they are being a bit insistent and whiny.
Just checkin' in to let everybody know I'm still hanging around.

We know, we are just avoiding you due to the smell of maggot puke. :)

Unfortunatly Alikia didn't prepare prestidigitation for today. Hopefully someone can create water to help with the bug juice. >.<
EDIT: Aladir, Alikia is going to call you bug juice from now on, btw. Feel free to come up with an appropriately terrible nick name for me as well

I have create water. Lots of it. Lots and lots of water.
Sorry to hear that. Take your time.
As for the game, we have just been waiting for Aladir to be hit with flying cockroach vomit. :)
Har de har. Hopefully I'll be fortunate enough that these cockroaches don't use projectile vomit as an attack pattern.
It is understandable. Real life has a way of springing surprises.
Are we taking a betting pool of who's going to be covered in grossness, now? if so, my money's on Ezro and some sort of slime/swarm.
EDIT: DOH! I just realized that I forgot to take -4 for firing into combat. Does anyone know how to strike through stuff? Or, the gm could roll my to hit on round end. Whichever is easiest.
I don't like the sound of "slime swarm"....
Well... that'll be my 20's for the next 40 rolls, I guess... =)
Man, we need to point you at every undead we find and just let you have fun.
That should read "places the two vials of holy water nearby".
Sorry Quinn suddenly turned into a holy stick-in-the-mud! That's what happens when I try to post quickly as I'm dashing out the door!
I do recommend trying to bring our charges up to full health, though. Maybe save one heal for a possible fight.
Do we know what all of the scales do? What I mean is, do we all know?
Because, Aladir has one that can cast levitate 3 times a day, if I remember correctly. But, I don't want to say that in game if that is out of character knowledge...
Aladir knows what all the scales do, except yours Quinn unless you told him, as he was the one that picked them all up.
If you guys want to say that you discussed who has what scale, etc. That is ok with me.
I will be honest. The scales totally slipped my memory. I have no earthly idea what any of them do.
Here is the link to what the scales do: (At least for Hyram, Ezro, and myself).
Quinn's scale can cast align weapon three times a day, to make a weapon Lawful or Good. While very useful, probably best in someone else's hands. Smite Evil makes DR not a huge concern for Quinn.
I was actually going to ssee if Aladir wanted to trade at some point...
... didn't realize everyone would have forgotten about them. =p
If that's true, then if we could find a single object we could all stand on... CL 19 would lift 1900 pounds. Two trips would carry everyone up. Maybe one, but it would be close and I don't wanna math right now.
But, I don't remember seeing caster level anywhere. Where did you see it stated?
