Just a reminder that I'll be out of contact until next Wednesday. Happy New Year, all!
I'm back! Posting shortly...
Sorry for the silence. We are buried under 5" of snow and ice, and that is a fairly rare thing around here. Internet has been spotty.
Yikes.... Are you alright?
Sure, everything's fine. Just tired of being stuck indoors with the kids for the last 4 days. Going stir crazy.
Sorry for the silence this last few days. 3 funerals, sick kids, and a major work delivery has totally sucked up this last week. Haven't even been online since Thursday. Life happens, I guess.
On with the show!
I hope your children are doing better now....?
Kids are fine, delivery is done (this one), and funerals are past (for now).
On a somewhat related note, I will be travelling on Tues-Wed next week, and may not be able to post those days. It's a short trip, though.
LOL @ Storn.
Just FYI, guys, in my other game with him, DM Bigrin noted on Monday that
"I will be AFK for the next few days, as I will be travelling to run some training classes. Have fun!"
Yep, i posted that last week about 2 posts up.
Lol. Look at this discussion on whether this check should be acro 5 or acro 10. Does the mod say the check is 10? That would put a dent in a lot of people's arguments in that thread. Mine too. (I'm on the side that the check is only 5/10.) Or it shows that the writers are confused on the rules as well.
OK, I can't read that whole thread. Where would the DC 5 come from?
(10 makes sense to me.)
Probably because in the map, the lily pads are depicted as practically touching, or being separated by no more than a few feet (but less than a single 5' square). A jump of less than 5' would normally be a DC5. I can imagine that the devs thought that bumping the DC up by 5 was warranted, given the non-stable nature of the floating lily pads.
I'm going to be out of the country Sunday-Thursday, and likely won't be posting.
Roger that. Have a great trip!
So I'm now "stuck" in St. Maarten until Sunday, thanks to the winter storm. Will resume posting after that.
So is Dieter with us now? If we want to give his player a bit more time to return, we could set him on rear guard to make sure whatever's buzzing doesn't come up behind us...
Also, question about poison: Can I apply it ahead of time to some sling stones? I'm finding I'm never using it because it's like two full rounds to pull the sling, apply poison and finally get one shot off, so I'm wondering if I can short circuit that a bit.
IN Order, I will DMPC Dieter until he returns or until a likely dumping off point occurs, same as Mariana.
Mariana's player said he will not be coming back, so at some point We need to discuss what you as a group want done with the character slot.
As for poison, I have no problem with you pre-poisoning your weapons.
IMO, games work best with five PCs, so I'd want to replace one of Mariana/Dieter. I think we've got a good group going with our other four, so just need someone to join the fun.
And thanks. Will poison a few sling bullets so I can hopefully use those a little bit more (my original concept of primarily poisoning alchemist probably didn't make much sense when so much of what we fight will have good Fort saves).
Ah the wailing of players when they realize poison in PF kind of sucks. Music to my ears.
My preference is five players as well.
Dang it; I really wish we could change aliases for longer periods of time. I hate when I post under the wrong alias!
I wouldn't mind seeing someone recruited to fill Mariana's slot.
I wouldn't mind seeing someone recruited to fill Mariana's slot.
I have someone in mind, but it would be unreasonable to introduce another new character here. Maybe once you guys complete this section.

Hey Quillstains--
I'm headed down to Mexico for the next 9 days. Since it's the beachy, resorty part, they offer and should have ample wifi and whatnot. However, there are no guarantees, like some orange baboon erecting an expensive and entirely unnecessary digital wall to keep internet traffic from going to and fro Mexico...
...anyhoot, if I fail to post in a timely manner, feel free to GMPC me.
FYI, I am going to be travelling Wed-Sun on a business trip, and I might not be able to post during that time.
If I am in your game, please GMPC me if needed. If I am running your game, be patient until I can return to regular posting.
I am back, and regular posting should resume.
I was out of town when this came out, so I don't think I ever announced my first contracted work for Paizo. Pretty excited about it. :)
Congratulations! :)
It looks very cool! I hope they support the material in the APs.
Fantastic! Huge congratulations. I'll make sure to pick up a copy.
Thanks!
FYI - I have a rogue lined up to take Mariana's place once you guys finish this segment.
So, I posted in all of my games last week that I would be gone most of this week with limited connectivity. Either I was dreaming about that, or the limited connectivity started early, because I don't see any of those posts. So sorry about that.
Also, none of my games have any updates showing, despite there being a week's worth of new posts. Paizo's server doesn't like me.
Yoohoo.... Everyone still alive?
None of my games have updated all week.... @_@
They were having a glitch with the new notifications. Looks like it's fixed now!

Uh, so that greatsword.
Storn already has Aggrimosh which I don't think anyone else would use. He would toss it aside in a second for the thorn though.
Dieter could use a better weapon, but is heavily invested in falchion.
Your thoughts Dieter? I'll defer to you on the shiny since it's a bigger upgrade before Storn starts squealing like a six year old at Christmas.
Hmmm.... you sure that isn't a falchion, O Mighty DM? I would understand why you might confuse a falchion for a greatsword. :)
If not, Storn is welcome to have at it. Sell the hammer!
Ding! Welcome to level 6.
Please get your characters updated while we walk back out of the swamp and back to the keelboat to meet your new companion.
Don't be too sad about the loot, as there are some gems in there that you might need/want later.
Woo!
Warpriest level 6:
+1 BAB
+1 to all saves
+8 hp (my hp were slightly high and so recalculated to 51)
+3 skills (intimidate, sense motive, knowledge religion)
Spells are now 5/5/4
New feat: Weapon specialization: greatsword (Wapriests can take fighter feats)
Number of fervor, blessings, sacred weapon uses go up by 1.
Going for Witch 5 / Brawler 1! :)
Spells become 4 / 4 / 3 / 2
I am taking the spells Lightning bolt and Summon monster III (It's kind of standard, but I figure we need the solid standards first; I'll get in some fun stuff next level.)

Skill ranks: 5
Acrobatics (11)
Knowledge (arcana) (11)
Linguistics (4) (taking Sylvan)

Busy day. Will level up tomorrow.
Just using this post to practice the coding for the site. DOnt mind it at all. Unless you do. In that case, shut up Quill. Just kidding
"Bold"
Sounds good.
Also, will update Sander ASAP. Have doggie chemo to go to in about 30 minutes.
Ooof.... Good luck with that, Mott. :|
Will Quill's character sheet be forever hidden? ;)
He's trying to hide that he's actually the dread Antipaladin, sir Blutwurst Kinslayer. ;)
