Indeed! Nice roll!

OK, here are the changes to Reiko:
+1 unchained Monk level

9 HP
+1 BAB
+1 Fort
+2 Reflex

+1 AC (Wis Bonus as Monk)

Monk Abilities
> Improved Unarmed Strike
> Stunning Fist
> Flurry of Blows

6 Skill Points
> +1 Acrobatics
> +1 Climb
> +1 Perception

I'll get her character sheet updated ASAP.

Hooray! Level 2!

L2 HP: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Blah!

Awww... lame roll!

FYI - Character sheet updated.

My changes:
+1 magus

+11 hp
+1 BAB
+1 Fort/Will
+1 AC (canny defense)
+1 all current skills
+1 1st level spell/day (known: mage hand, grease)

I took grease instead shocking grasp or chill touch (even though I got spellstrike) because we seem to be fine on melee power but I'm the only arcane caster.

I also learned a new language... maybe Reiko can help finish the Minkaian lessons I've been getting from Ameiko?

Absolutely. I'm all for adding details and depth to our relationships.

Here's Vigny's level up:

+1 Warpriest
+8 hp
+1 BAB
+1 Fort, +1 Will

+1 diplomacy
+1 intimidate
+1 K engineering (background)
+1 Sleight of hand (background)

Fervor 1d6 3/day Woo!
+1 orison/day
+1 1st level spell/day

Level Up!

HP: 1d5 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7 + 2 Con = 9 HP
+1 BAB
+1 Fort
+1 Will
+3 Skill Points (Diplomacy, Kn. Nature, Perception)
+2 Background Skill Points (Kn. Geography, Handle Animal)
Class Ability: Lay on Hands w/ Charitable Hands modification from Oath of Charity
Class Ability: Divine Grace (Holy moly, Soli's saves just jumped like, a lot!)

And I think that's all for this level :)

@Vigny & Soli - nice, nice. Gotta love it when key abilities come online!

Damn you lot are busy overnight!

Need to catch up with the in-game thread... fingers crossed levelling up will allow Jerukh to be a little less of a passenger.

You're not a passenger, man. Campaigns are long and we're all going to have moments when the dice, circumstances, and/or our skill-sets leave us struggling. Wait until we run into a swarm or a caster that favors spells that target Will... Reiko will be somewhere between 'Useless' and a 'Hazard-to-the-team'. :)

I do want you to have more opportunities to blow sh!t up... so if my headstrong / mix-it-up-with-baddies way of playing Reiko so far has made it difficult for you to toss bombs into the enemy ranks, I apologize. Let's try to figure out a way for you to lob bombs and hammer the enemy en masse before I jump in and start cutting them on an individual basis. It could be as simple as me delaying until you've had a chance to act first. Or we could just agree that I run the risk of taking splash damage from your shots - which is fine with me. And since I get Evasion when I get my 2nd monk level, and my Reflex Save is decent, that gives me a pretty good shot at avoiding the splash on your bombs altogether. Win-win!

and, as I've said before, taking hits isn't useless- it saves us from taking those hits! Besides, you'll really start to come into your own now that you have a discovery... precise bombs and infusions will both be game changers for you (and with the extra discovery feat you could potentially have both of them by 3rd).

...and a gold-and-ivory fan depicting a gecko walking amid cherry blossoms.

Damn. Those GEICO ads are everywhere!

No worries gang - still finding my feat with Jerukh. I actually like how he's slightly indecisive in combat and hesitant (a healer not a fighter - and scared to let the inner orc out to boot... :)

Eventually Mr Horde will appear over Dr Jerukh, but until such time comes I'll play him on the meeker side (which is a weird one in itself for a half orc).

No problem with running in - we have a Bride-like katana-killa in our ranks - would hate to see her reigned in with stupid tactics and such lol.

I'm in a Shackled City game where my Dwarven Spellslinger frequently has the crunch-bunch mess up his firing line. Have learned to be very creative and it all adds to the flavour.

Anyway - back to my boy here. I'll level up on the morrow.

A fifteen minute message could save you 15% or more on adventurer insurance.

Do they insure against zomblin attacks!?!?! :)

Does a bugbear like to bug bears?

Woah! Slow down with them zen koans, man. :P

Things are really getting deep in here... :P

Level Up in Progress..

HP: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
+1 BAB
+1 FORT Saves
+1 REF Saves

+1 Alchemical Extract: Not sure what to go with. I'm not a standard "best combat spells available" type player... Mulling Ant Haul or Monkey Fish...

Alchemical Discovery: TBC

Poison Resistance: +2

Infused Curative: People other than Jerukh can use his Healing Extracts :)

7 Adventuring Skill Ranks
2 Background Skill Ranks

Level Up(date)

Alchemical Discovery: Am thinking Healing Bomb ties in with Jerukh's modus operandi and can damage undead to boot.

Skill Ranks

+1 Background Skill Rank: Appraise
+1 Background Skill Rank: Craft (Alchemy)

+1 Adventuring Skill Rank: Disable Device
+1 Adventuring Skill Rank: Heal
+1 Adventuring Skill Rank: Knowledge (Arcana)
+1 Adventuring Skill Rank: Knowledge (Nature)
+1 Adventuring Skill Rank: Perception
+1 Adventuring Skill Rank: Spellcraft
+1 Adventuring Skill Rank: Survival

Having never played an alchemist, sadly, I don't have a useful opinion to offer. But I'm glad you took Disable Device. I expect we'll be needing that skill! :)

Aye - kinda want to make Jerukh a bit of an every(half)man jack of all trades. Disable Device slots nicely into that mould.

Healing Bombs are very enticing and flavoursome for him also.

On a separate note Soli will have seen this in another game we share, but I've indulged my inner mini-maker and used Hero Forge to create the party in 28mm...

(apologies ahead of time if they don't quite cut your mind's eye image of your PC - just my interpretation of them - have tried to be as faithful to character sheets and posts as possible but a little artistic licence may have crept in ;)

Reiko

Vigny

Soliana

Jerukh

That is full-on awesome! You've captured Reiko well. Thanks!

Had mucho fun - tried to capture the essence of each of them.

Reiko is a bonafide badass after all!

Yes, thank you - you did an awesome job with everyone :D

Hey! What's up with my thighs? They look like tree trunks!

Just kidding, those figurines are awesome! Great job!

The camera adds 40 lbs. Haven't you heard?

that's really cool. i've never seen that site before.

Cool. I need to get back into drawing again, and I think Jeruhk just threw down the gauntlet. :D

(Also need to mess with heroforge again, looks like they've added a bunch of stuff.)

Hey! What's up with my thighs? They look like tree trunks!

Sturdy Northern stock lol.

Hero Forge is mucho fun and I'm glad the characters measured up.

If we hit 5000 game posts I'll order them up for everyone! :)

wow, thanks! I think the last time I painted a mini was for a Blood Bowl league like 15 years ago.

Well, we're going at a pretty good clip, but it's probably going to be a little while before we hit 5000. We're just a little shy of 800 right now.

Heck, we're already farther than the first JR game I was in got to before the GM pulled the plug and we're rapidly catching up to where my second JR game is (though there's been quite a few differences so I'm wondering how much is the AP and how much is the GM changing things around) :)

Care to tell me some of the differences? I've been fairly faithful to the AP, though I have thrown some of my stuff in. I'm jsut curious is all.

Sure, will shoot you a PM to avoid spoiler temptations ;)

Thanks. :)

DM-S: Notice we have 2 potions (unidentified?) in the loot. Believe as an alchemist Jerukh can ID potions using his Craft (Alchemy) in lieu of Detect Magic.

Can we presume he's had a crack at this already or want me to attempt in game?

Also, I didn't see any mention of the results of my thoroughly searching the throne, or Vigny (iirc, or maybe Reiko) doing the same to the chest... are we to assume that neither inspection turned anything up?

Apologies- my posting is going to be spotty (at best) for the next few days due to a death in the family (my wife's grandfather). Please feel free to bot me as necessary.

Condolences mate - thoughts are with you and your wife.

@ Emi: I'm sorry to hear that. Take the time you need.

@ Jerukh: That's a generous offer. Thank you.

I'll have that up soon. And sorry Emi. I forgot to reveal what you investigations find.

*sigh* Got called in to work today, so just bot me as needed. I'll catch up when I get home tonight.

Considering I was too tired last night to post, I think you're okay. :P

Hey guys, I'm going to be pulling 12s at work for the next three days so you may not see much in the way of posts from me during that time. I'll try to check in/keep up as much as I can but it may not be until Friday night or Saturday before I'll get caught up. As always, feel free to bot me for combat/skill checks as needed!

Hey friends, should be back to more or less regular posting for awhile. Ended up catching the flu so I'll be off work recovering for most of the week, too :\

Get well Soil :)

Seconded here.

Also, sorry for the radio silence. I've been a lazy buzzard this weekend and am just now getting back on track.

Sorry for the erratic posting guys, there's been a lot of different things going on this week to distract me. I've been sick with the flu (thankfully just about over that) and my grandmother passed away on Sunday (funeral was earlier this afternoon). On top of that, I've been going through my PbP games and making the decision to axe some of them; it took awhile but I've slowly bitten off more than I can chew so I've dropped 5/6 so far. The jury is still out on whether or not I'll drop a few more but I currently don't have any plans to drop this one at least :)

Glad to hear you're doing better and aren't planning to axe this game :)

I am sorry to hear about your grandmother, though. I know that it's never easy to lose someone.
