________

And one important note, DM Batpony: Talon's familiar has the Protector archetype from the Familiar Folio. It's an important element of his defenses. His scorpion remains on his person, and pretty much spends every round using its standard action to either Aid Another to boost Talon's AC or Ready an action to do the same, and I try to be proactive round-to-round to inform you which opponent should be targetted by these actions.

Additionally, because of the Loyal Bodyguard feature, Scorp can use his 4 AoOs per round to reactively use Aid Another actions to boost Talon's AC.

Given the nature of PbP, how do you any to handle this? Should I put up 4 pre-rolled AoOs every combat round for you to adjudicate as they are needed? Or would you prefer to roll those for Scorp as attacks come in on Talon? Or do you have a better solution?

Let me know.

Player: kuey
Character: Bambang Kuwatputra
PFS #: 215076-5
XP: 8 (after current game finishes, which GM says would be in one or two days)
Faction: Dark Archives
Day Job: craft(calligraphy), mw tools: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 9 + 2 = 12

Oh that was a terrible roll. Ok, if Bambang doesn't use his folio reroll during the game, I'll use it to reroll the day job...

Player: JP
Character: Dax Rya
PFS#: 41759-10
Faction: Exchange
XP: 10 (I keep forgetting one chronicle can't be applied until later.)
Day Job: Craft (Alchemy) +13

Day Job: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (12) + 13 = 25 And that works just fine for me.

@ Talon, I think I prefer it the first way, but we'll see. Let's try that first and see how it goes.

Cool. That seems simplest. If we run into issues, we can adjust on the fly. :)

I'll be leveled up tonight and ready to go.

This is Elter Ago's druid.

Player Name: Mark M
Character Name: Selter Sago de'Morcaine
PFS#: 30504-4
Faction: The Exchange
XP: 14
Day Job Roll: none

Give me tomorrow morning to make sure the sheet and equipment is completely accurate.

This is Selter's animal companion.
A large female constrictor snake named Sithiss

I can have Sithiss post the info in the same post as Selter or I can have them seperate. Your choice, makes no difference to me.

Sorry for the delay in posting/leveling. Everything will be updated tonight for sure. Real life took a dump on me yesterday.

No worries, once you and Selter are sorted, we'll venture into the archives!

Selter is good, I just improved his cloak from +2 to +3.

This is why despite literally no need for it, I made Dax a diplomancer and hydromancer.

It's like you were made for this scenario!

It's kinda crazy how much I am made for this scenario, which I have never played. I even speak Sylvan.

EDIT: But not Aquan, which seems like I should. I may have to take linguistics for that.

Hey all. I'll be spotty until Monday due to Thanksgiving with my family. I may or may not post, and would like to be botted as needed. Thanks.

Yah, same here. Lots of family + lots of kids + lots of food = spotty board presence.

I'll try not to be a hold up, but feel free to bot Talon if my absence is a problem. :)

Yeah, I'm half-gone, down to about one post a day after today.

Not a worry. Let's see how it goes, if everyone is OK with it we can wait until the festivities are over since a few of you are busy. Thanks for letting us know.

I should be able to post each day, but I completely understand. Family comes first. If you guys want to wait until next week, I'm fine with that.

Let's continue then since everyone can try to post a day, but if we slow down I'll also likely slow the pace of the game down to accommodate everyone :)

quick question, can I hit the worm from current position without penalty?
EDIT: Oh that's our snake.

Sorry folks, whole family really sick for a few days.

No worries! Family takes precendence! Glad to have you back!

My 14 touch attack on the worm didn't work? I suppose it has high touch, being small and dexterous.

17 touch to hit! :)

Hmm, then maybe Dax can focus on the undead vulture instead. Being so large, I suspect its touch AC would be poor.

Oh probably. But being undead, it might have SR or resist cold.

Voidworm is dead though! So one enemy left.

GM,

1) How deep is the water and is it fairly clear or murky/muddy?

2) Is this saltwater or fresh water.

3) If it is fresh water, would you allow a saltwater wild shape to function normally?

The water is from an external plane so it's open to interpretation that it could be fresh or salt, it's murky from all the dirt from the old books. About 3 feet deep in some areas, and 1 feet deep in others.
I'm curious to see more abilities in action so I'll allow the saltwater wild shape :)

Hey guys, there's been a work emergency, I'm traveling to field and likely won't be able to give an update for 2 days. Sorry about that!

Be safe and well.

Sorry for the absence. It's been a busy week or two at the school I work at, being testing season, and on top of that, I've been pretty sick. Thanks for the patience.

I've messaged Ai and Selter, we'll give it another 24 hours, if no response I'll keep the game going without them to be fair to the rest of you guys waiting! Understand it's holiday season so i'm slowing the pace down a little, since I figured a lot of folks will be busy!

I really have no reason/excuse. Sometimes I just lose focus on things, and that happened. My bad.

Sorry, I had some personal issues come up. I shouldn't have any more problems. I will start reading to catch up immediately.

If we don't hear any news from the folks were waiting on I'll continue the session in a couple hours. You're very near the end. After this combat, just a few chit chats and we're done.

Also a heads up, I'm traveling tomorrow until Sunday, so expect minimum to no updates at this time. Plan to be fully Bach on track Sunday.

I'm having a major WiFi headache. It should be sorted in a couple of days. Posting will probably be scarse, so bot me if needed please.

Thanks for running this. Sorry I was inconsistent; the holidays are rough for me.

Thanks for running Batpony.

I would also like to apologize for my lack of presence toward the end. I had planned to change to an octopus to sneakily scout the whole flooded section.

Thanks for running. I am also sorry for my wifi issue at the end. It's supposed to be resolved on Wednesday.

Rerolling my day job check with my character folio:
