Poor puppy! I'm glad it's okay. I've got a couple of dogs and am committed to their immortality.

GM Bigrin crits with a Wall of Text attack!
Man, I don't mind being crit like that. I liked that post...A LOT.
It's a good post...the High Priestess explaining her theology and mixing in the rules and the spirit of Iomedae and whatnot. It fits with her character and her high wisdom. It's what I would expect from a High Priestess.
The reason why I like it is that I suspect that that's not from the AP, but something you wrote yourself Bigrin.
But the double secret reason why I like it is that I tried to snark you/high priestess, GM Bigrin, and you oversnarked me right back. I thought I was leaving you one hook, and you took another that I didn't even consider.
It's just a dang good post. Well played.
thank you. I actually enjoyed that one a lot. And no, you are correct, it's not part of the Ap. Just something I came up with to add a bit of personality to the unnamed clerics and acolytes of Trunau.
Well, it finally happened. The day I feared would come. During a marathon gaming session yesterday (13 hours) months of lying, backstabbing, and double dealing finally drove my players beyond the edge of paranoia. They actually attacked an innocent simply because she told them "no", and started yelling at them to leave her alone.
And not just "spiked gauntlet to the face" either, Tanner. We're talking "maximized scorching ray and full crit/bleed swashbuckler attacks". She lost 90 hit points before she could run out of the room on her initiative count. Now, I've got 3 players seriously considering switching characters, and 1 going through an existential crisis (to the point of wanting to retrain feats to allow his spells to do nonlethal damage).
Some days I just love being a GM.
o_o ... Um. Congratulations...?
Oooh. You broke their brains!
Module 2 came in the mail yesterday. Huzzah!
Woo hoo...wonder if my monthly stuff will be here today, then.
Yay! ^^
Throwing out this question to all my games, just show I know:
Are we going to/will you allow any of Pathfinder Unchained?
No scheduled interruption. I went to a conference assuming I would have plenty of time/internet access, and found neither. Can only use my phone. Updates coming soon
Here is a link to the loot list. I think I have gotten everything on there now.For those of you who haven't seen this type of loot sheet before, let me break it down for you.
Summary Tab - a quick look at what the current status of loot is. Cells F14-K14 show what each party member would receive if we sold all the loot right this minute. It is based on what we have available to sell and what has been claimed. The goal is to try and keep relative WBL the same across all party members. It may look complicated, but it works really well. I have been using this in my RL game, ass well as my PbP games and it does a good job.
There is a "Max Gold in Kitty" field that allows you to give the party kitty an equal share of your take, up to a max value. I have it set to 0 now. If you want that set to a specific value, let me know. Party kitty funds are used to purchase "party items" like healing wands, bags of holding, etc.
Other Tabs - these hold the specific loot items, organized by category. If you want to claim a loot item, tell me here or in the gameplay thread. Your name gets assigned to it, and then its value comes out of your share of the loot. For example, if Yelena wants the falchion, she claims it here. I mark it as Yelena's and it comes out of the general loot list, and its value comes out of her share.
As I said, it looks complicated but really isn't. Look it over and let me know what you think.
I have also added the link to the loot sheet to the Campaign Page
FYI, I am travelling on business this week, but don't stop posting. I want to be able to keep things moving as much as possible.
Not really having much skill with children or language...
I've been rewatching "Parks and Recreation" and I'm now picturing Storn as Ron Effing Swanson.
Hahah. Storn lacks Ron's stoicism but I see the comparison.
I'm leaving Monday for a trip to see my wife at med school in the Caribbean. I'll be posting tomorrow, but then I don't expect to have access until late Thursday/Friday.
Gotcha, Jacob. Have a great trip!
I'm in the middle of a 40 hour weekend's worth of work that is in the midst of 9 straight 10+ hour days...so I'm really slow at the moment. I should have plenty of time once I get out of the weekend (open on Monday, then nights until Friday...then FREE RPG DAY!!!!)
In a way, I regret the Orcs getting a pantheon of distinctive, identified gods. ^^; I was quite charmed by the setup in Orcs of Golarion, which basically gives the Orcs a pantheon of roles to fulfill and duties to perform, which can be filled by any appropriate entity that wants and can do the job. ^^
Question - How do you guys feel about creating Roll20 accounts? I am starting to run into limitations with MapTool, and since I have already moved to Roll20 for my RL games, I was thinking about doing the same with my PbP ones as well. It would let you control your own character, but you'd have to be able to log into Roll20 and move your own token, and I wouldn't be posting a pic of the map (would be double the work and there are no grid coordinates in Roll20). Let me know what you guys think. It's not an immediate need, but I am looking towards future encounters.
I used to be a premium subscriber there because I like it so much. So sure.
As I said in the other game, I'd personally prefer not to use Roll20, but if everyone else wants to, I can live with it.
Same. I'll live with whatever.
Thank you for your input. Since not everyone can reliably access Roll20, and there is no immediate reason to change, we'll stick with what we are currently doing until forced to do otherwise.
Please note Molly is translating what she hears for the whole group now.
If you guys have questions, feel free to assume Molly will translate them. ^_^ That way, we can open up the interrogation a bit.

So, should we go over what we have?
Mysterious white swords and Rodrik's death in Trunau.
He had a poorly made Hopeknife, because the real one was missing, which we since found in the Plague House. We still don't know how it got there.
We know Katrezra had visions of the Plague House and Rodrik wrote about them in his diary.
--
So in the Plague House we found this kid that Daktani apparently kidnapped for reasons unknown.
Daktani's master is working with Ghaer's mistress to coordinate some kind of raid on this town. There is something here that her mistress wants, and she will stop at nothing to get it. She thinks Daktani was to relay more information about the raid .
--
Not sure if we have any other questions for her that I can think of. We definitely seemed to kill the wrong one. :)
--
Of course the question now is do we really let her go?
Ok, so we just leveled. I feel like there is a couple of different directions I want to take my character and I'm really having a hard time deciding which direction to go (note: All directions are skills because she is a skill monkey at her core).
I bring it up for a couple of reasons...I am considering splashing a class for a couple/few levels or even the bard being the splash. That said...I'm looking at either: 1) Becoming more combat effective with a 3 level jump OR 2) Becoming more versatile on utility for the group.

Would all y'all go through the LOOT sheet and suggest what items you might want or have already taken?
Quill has the belt of tumbling, but is happy to sell it.
Quill would like:
Tangleburn bag
mwk chain shirt (but happy to pass on it if Yel or Storn want it)
If we're going to be attacked soon, Quill has a shopping list of supplies to buy.
Sander isn't going to claim anything, since he wasn't a part of it. No need to give Vashta anything either for reasons that will be clear.
Mariana, I would say go with what you want to play. I don't think we'll need to worry too much about combat, though, considering there are six of us. Other groups I'd say need combat help but I don't think this will be one of them.
Quill, I suspected as much since you haven't posted your character's primary info and I respect that, hence why I put more the role fulfillment, not class decision. I actually have a great idea for where I want the character to go, it's all about the path to get there and had an amazing idea to fulfill today! Just have to clear up a couple things with our awesome GM!
Just wanted to say this is the a freaking fantastic PbP game. Every character pops with personality, the pace is good, and I'm really digging this AP so far. Hurray eveyrone!
Anyways, Storn isn't going to claim anything from the loot sheet. He CAN use the crossbow bolts but is an awful shot and thinks ranged weapons are for effeminate communists. So if someone else uses a crossbow they'd be a better pick.
Level up!
- 7 hp gained
- 3 skill points (1 class, 1 race, 1 favored class)
+1 linguistics (starting to learn giant, which Storn will speak very, very badly for a while), +2 spellcraft
- gained fervor 1d6
- +1 base attack
- +2 fort/will
- Gained a level 0 and level 1 spell slot
-7HP
-10 Skill Points (6 +Int, +Human, +FCB)
-Gained Giant as a language
-Stuff
I have Acrobatics, so I wouldn't mind the Belt of Tumbling if no one else wants it and the party is okay with keeping it. ^^

We have an awesome GM? How come nobody told me? I was just filling in until he came back.
What questions do you have for me? Ask them now or forever hold your piece. Just not in public, because...eww, gross!
The liquid sword...what sort of sword did they become?
DING! Level 2!
HP: Half max. (3) +1 + 1 Con., total becomes 15
BAB: +1
Will save +1, becomes +4
Class features: An additional Hex. I'm going with Healing Hex. If we're going to be under siege soon, I figure it'll be useful. ;)
Magic: Additional spell slots for 0 and 1.
New spells: Command, Summon monster I
Skills: 6 ranks.
+1 Acrobatics, total becomes +7
+1 Bluff, total becomes +7
+1 Knowledge (planes), total becomes +7
+1 Sense motive, total becomes +7
+1 Spellcraft, total becomes +8
+1 Stealth, total becomes +7

Looks like Quill is passing off the belt to Molly and taking the chain shirt and the bag.
Please add a studded leather armor to the Quill or the party's sell list (not sure how we are accounting yet).
GM Bigrin, do you need help cashing us out?
Also, are we assuming everyone is responsible for their own healing? Or something else?
What's the belt's power? I can't seem to find it in the SRD...

As soon as I know that everything desired has been claimed, I'll cash you out. As for selling items, if you claimed it as loot or purchased it with your own cash, the value goes into your pool. Once we do a loot distribution, I'll show you haw that works.
Also, do you guys want to keep a party kitty going? The way I recommend that is to give the kitty an equal share of cash, up to a specific amount (e.g., max of 750g, enough to buy a healing wand).
Looking at the summary sheet, right now we are sitting just under WBL with the kitty getting nothing. Not too suprising, given the full party, and easily adjusted in the upcoming act.
