Expedition to Tharkad-Kûl

Game Master Patrick Curtin

Take your time man family come first I have been spotty myself but with luck....and alot of talking to the phone company I should be fine by sat or mon....

Hope your kid gets better man

Hope everything's ok. My first is on the way so I can only imagine.

This is a good place to sound off, many of us can listen and understand. Vulcan - enjoy the ride.

wild ride indeed vulcan congrats

Thanks, can't wait to meet him.

Its the beginning of a whole new phase of your life man. Enjoy. It goes really fast (two 15-year-olds here).

Dungeon Monkey

just a heads up ...once again posting will be spotty until Weds aft.

Hey folks. Got up early today thanks to an annoying Boston Terrier who demanded to go out.

This fight seems to be wrapping up, unless you catch the fleeing archers. Since we are playtesting the rules, how did y'all think it went? According to my weak crunch-fu this was a ECL4 fight, about one level higher than it should have been. I think y'all did very well regardless. Do you feel like the fight was weak? Or did it have the right balance? I deliberately ratcheted up the difficulty, but you all seemed to get through OK (despite Sondergang's wounding). Do you feel 1/4 of the party's resources were spent?

Let's see,2 1st level spells were used so in that respect we met the quarter. Think it went pretty well. Definitely seeing the difference Pathfinder makes for casters with the ability to make a magical attack and not have it cost a spell each round.

All in all enjoying it thoroughly so far.

We had a huge tactical advantage with the defensive setup. If we had been out in the open, it could have gone alot worse.

True, the +4 cover did make a difference. Out in the open is never a good place to be in Orc territory. It also helped that you smoked the infantry so quickly, the archers decided "F this I'm outta here!"

Just posting here to get the dot next ot the thread.. they keep disappearing on me.

Note: I will be spotty on these boards until Weds aft. Today is a busy day and Mon and Tues the regular. As you head into the Silent Vale plan your marching order and any actions.

humm ok guys the necros gonna hang back in some fights as i in my great wisdom forgot the take any oth level attack spells or a ranged weapon..yay me

hummm wrong thread ignore the above

LOL

Group Init?

Yes. One person (usually the first to see the attack) rolls a D20. The initatives are then built off that roll. It works a lot cleaner in PbP.

You are so wise.

ya know in the pbp I run I have tried a flat 10 with everyone adding there modes to it. You loose a bit of randomness but everyone knows who acts first and for a pbp it speeds things up greatly.

I'm feeling sick. Taking weekend off from posting be back Mon.

good to know.

On hols now.

Please NPC Divel. He intends to use the high wall and shoot the bad guys from up there.

Cheers

Damn, Divel, you are a sniper. Four kills already. I gotta catch up!

And he even did it while sipping Margaritas on holiday.

I'm way behind on the kill count too. Only 1 :(

Hey, one is pretty high. Can you hold your breath for one hour? NO!

Spell caster's got 2!

Two? That stinks! I can hold my breath for 2 seconds any day!

:)

*sings* How can we sleep when the orcs are burning?? *sings*

The time has come, to say kill all
to slice their heads off
to make them fall ..

gets strong urge to shave head

And dance like an epileptic, mid seizure?

hey Patrick I wanted to ask where did you get the grid you use? and if ya made it what did ya use to do so

Kruelaid was actually nice enough to give me it. He has it posted on a download site somewhere, I'm sure he'd let you have one, it's very handy.

cool thanks will track him down and ask him

Hey, y'all. Sorry 'bout Eldon's mouth. Here's an easy guide to Eldon.

Mom - Ingrahild Hammastrum
Measles - Merzhan Al-Kahadiim
Dad - Sondergang Wulfsson

For the rest, I'm letting the oppurtunity present itself for my imagination to run wild. :)

Guys, daughter sick again, I will update as I can. Thanks

Family first man, we can wait

Are you really going to put your family in front of me! ;)

Well, I will be posting, just not as frequently as I am used to. Unfortunately I have to take point in clearing my daughter's airways when the pneumoniatic fluids build up (is pnumoniatic a word? Beats me). She coughs, I gotta be there with the suction. Anyway, I will update when she is sleeping, but no big posts for the nonce.

Nah, i'm kidding, take care of your daughter. May I suggest that OJ is good for the immune system. I'm addicted to the stuff.

Thanks Joey, but unfortunately Ally gets fed through a tube. Nothing but Pediasure for my poor little sick monkey girl. :(

Alas, so does my cousin.

She's 15 1/2 now.

Patrick, I have only just got round to this thread. Sorry to hear about Ally's troubles.

Give her your best and take care yourself.

Thinking of you and yours

She's 15 1/2 now.

Oops. Older than I thought (when you said little, I thought little for me, forgot the age difference for a second.)

Thanks FW for the kind thoughts.

Joey, 'tis true that even raving teen nerds must grow up and grow old. Hard to believe I could be a grandfather within a decade if my other daughter starts early. <shudder>. 40 feels the same, only more aches and pains and bills to pay than the teen years.

Hi guys just letting you all know my posting may become spotty for a bit. Going into the hospital with the wife for C-Section tomorrow to welcome little Xavier into the world.

Hope all goes well man, Wish the wife and the newone my best
