discuss among yourselves fir a little bit I have to read a chapter of business law will check back in to see if you really need me but just discuss among yourselves on who you think so far is the culprit yes sounds like bad mystery game but hey gotta start somewhere
Posted my opinion, will take the break to do my language studies like i should be.
hmmm as a question to my fellow adventurer's did what Gaeron just said sound a bit too much like "Ok gang, let's split up and look for cluees!" ?
And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddlesome kids!
Gaeron now falls down a ravine that just opened up under his feet
Aww man...not again...
ok all done with chapter when i feel you guys have made a plan and talked enough between yourselves il give next part
I want to wait on the other two members of our party to speak first, if that is okay.
Im sorry guys about the delay im having trouble finding my adventure I wrote everything down as well as the dcs and everything and now I cant find any of it.
However,
You find out that the priests name was Father Voldmier
Apothecarys name is Iccarus
Random time
hey devin you know the anvil has just had contact with red hot metal right?
Devin I want you to make an intimidate check since you are sorta being well mean to the guy lol and wishing him to tell you more information then he has given you. post it on here and then Ill post reaction by how bad or good you succeed the dc ill post accordingly
DC is 14
Out of character, I am glad Hermia is not there watching a trained warrior intimidate the village's blacksmith for information. I am sure she'll hear all about it soon enough, though, as using intimidate to do that sort of thing makes the target hostile to you later. Ha ha.
I would personally call it a Bluff roll not an Intimidate roll. He's badgering him not threatening him. This is based on the fact that men, especially physically inclined men (ie jocks) usually interact this way to establish a pecking order. He had made a comment about bringing in "Pansies" that wouldn't effect things. I wanted to establish that I'm A) not a pansy, B) understand his normal social queues, c) am at least as interested in resolving this as he is. He's expecting someone who says "I'm here, give me my money and let's get this over with." I'm showing him that I'm not that. Trying to be friendly and considerate would have been seen as weakness and confirmed his suspicions.
Bluff (or intimidate)
Grrrr 8 initative! Fear my big flat footed sorcerer-wielding-a-mace-like-a-warrior with Cleric initative XD and im not even the cleric! lolz
Lol dont worry devin im giving you reward for doing so well lol and i am calling it an intimidate cause well hes a very unfriendly man and you need / want answers from him
Everyone still alive?
Yeah, is col the apothecary?
You said it was kinda late in the afternoon, Hermia wants to check out the graveyard while it is still light, I suppose I can have her and Gaeron try to get the other two before we do that, but I don't want it to be magically night by the time we get down there. She's intelligent enough to know that most everything summoned from evil has darkvision, and she's just a normal human :P
Actually col is someone that is helping organizing the defenses the apothecary is someone else entirely lol his name is Iccarus and
@ aria yes ill allow that lol original plan was for party to explore during night ;) but never had one that actually tried to during day lol guys going to blow past this first chapter of my game lol no fair
Sorry for playing my intelligent characters intelligently.
lol so what you all doin are you going to find the party before talking to col or after
MWAHAHAHA the Evil plot proceeds!
how you guys liking the story so far I know we having a lil trouble on posting but hey we still doin good in my opinion your thoughts?
Time is now ill say almost 16:00, 4:00 pm
Let me know when you guys actually start walking down the road lol
I think at this point we are walking that way.
Gaeron now becomes the focus of every bandit and monster in the forest as he now has a VERY VERY shiny golden looking amulet hehehehe
RAWR!!!!!!...?
Sorry guys, I've had about 4 hours of sleep today and its oppressively hot. I am definitely not running on all cylinders, so to speak.
Can we retcon that Hermia, who is the wisest person in the group, would have informed someone that their intent was to go to the graveyard to investigate the things that go "bonk" in the night? I am pretty sure she would have done that.
Guess I am along for the ride...so to speak
dun worry kyn things will start making sense in a little bit
ok took me a while to get around it, im so lazy ;p, but journal and exp tracker is up on my profile id rather you keep the important item knowledge ooc but cant be helped I needed something to remind me lol
to clarify devin you will get another perception check dunno if that was very clear or not apologies
and now to wait for devin :) and yay one of you succeed on dc lol
Ok guys i just got word from my Bro (DM) that he'll be on roughly around 12:30 to continue the AP so no worries :)
Sweet, what time zone is that?
Central Time Zone. He should be getting out of class any minute (approx)
Pay attention in class. Gosh! Nothing made me angrier than people who threw away an education screwing around on phones and laptops during class.
Still burns me up.
Actually we are both very strict on that, we are only getting on when we have a break between classses for more than a half hour
all of our posts on tuesdays and thursdays are made through the student's computer lab on their computers.
Idk if u'd go for it kynneth but it was the first strategy to come to Gaeron, who thinks hes a warrior, not just a mage lolz ^^"
Wisdom, get it in the positives, and you look at things from a whole different perspective.
Anyone know where the enemy spellcaster is? Nope? well, neither does the priestess, and the priest was the first person in the town to be killed.
I agree, but I also don't see any alternative other than turning back. Nothing is going to draw out our foe until he's ready. I would rather take on these few now on our terms then have them 'somewhere' behind us as we head back to town.
Yeah. I see your perspective, believe me I do. But Cloistered Cleric gives up spell casting to be a crap bard in terms of making knowledge checks. She has one domain, the community domain. Her spells for first level are Bless and Shield, that's it. Had I known we were going after evil stuff before we arrived (Hermia meditates at dawn, remember) she would have prepared protection from evil for Mister Devin.
At least she has a club to beat on these things. Heh.
I am going to point out at any time you guys can decide to go off and do something else IE you decide to say screw grunshire and go to the capitol I believe in free world where its the characters world and they determine what they do and decide where to go. Example could be you guys decide to head back to town before fighting the zombies and come back a different day. Wanted to let you all know so you dont feel forced down this path that youve found
Hermia, abandon the community? No waaaai! Especially not to Zombies. That would just be... rude :P
Ok lets go over rules for combat as we are now entering the first instance:
I will be pulling from several different styles i have seen albeit not many on pbp:
Post your action and attack roll along with damage, if you have access to bestiary go ahead and look for purpses of AC or some such defensive manuver that activates or something. This will frree up the posts and allows you all to extraiplate your own combat you would like to expresses. For spells and such like that require saves from monsters go ahead and roll how many you would catch, and the damge and the dc for save
example:
I move up to best position i can and and then cast burning hands. (since there are three targets we then roll a d3)
I catch all three from my positioning of the fire, I then roll damage the damage they will take if they do not save ok so four damage, then go ahead and give a moderate post of details you think would happen, example I release the fire and burns the zombies, charring parts of their body. This is subject to change as their are multitude of different spells you all have access to. as well as subject to change with my discretion as i might find better system.
anyways i then (GM) roll for save
Reflex DC 14
ok 2nd zombie takes only half so your post is still efective for flavor but mechanicaly only for 2
Any questions, comments, suggestions for other systems you guys have exp with that work?
Sounds good to me, as my combat actions will consist of "Hermia moves within 50 feet of the combatants and casts Bless" or "Hermia moves so that the party is within reach of her Channel Energy and Channels to Heal."
She's not a combatant. If she has to, she'll take a swing at something to defend herself, but it's not her thang.
Will you be rolling Initiative for us?
Also lets have rolls for intiative here at least for begining so the IC thread flows lil more for flavor benefits also we will go by init order and I will have a 24 hour limit after thaty I will post for you, so combat stats need to be updated and added if not already. sound good?
Hermia initiative
