Another note: Bander is kind of rough around the edges...kind of like an Army Drill Sergeant in my head. I hope I don't offend anyone with his language. I will keep it PG-13. Please let me know if anything ever bothers you.

EDIT: Yayoo..i'm the first to reach the second page ;)

I'm not offended with language. I think keep F words, S words and substitute wench for "rhymes with witch" and we should be fine.

I'd like to keep it a little lighter content for anyone that may be following this thread, just in case. If he needs to say something offensive, I'm sure you can edit it (%$#@$), and we will get the jist of what is going on anyways.

Sorry...because I hadn't posted in the Gameplay thread yet it didn't prompt me that there were updates. I'll start catching up straightaway!

no problem.


On the issue of "Party Leader" I have no issues with anyone taking the lead. Bander isn't ever going to volunteer to lead anything unless the rest of you are so screwing things up he absolutely has to. And even then he might just make a rude comment and walk away ;o)

I vote for the cabs...might as well get the job done faster. Though if this is like a normal game it will definately not be that easy. :)

Shilyn:
I'm playing a Half-Elf Rogue in another campaign...do you plan to go TWF or will you stick with one weapon? I'm kind of torn about which way to go...and any request for advice is usually met with "Play an Archaeologist or Urban Ranger...LOL!


Brayden - I included a perception roll for my cat familiar. Not sure how you want to handle things like that. My thought is that while we can not talk yet at this level I do have empathic link and thus if the cat senses danger (to itself or probably it's master) Bander would at least get a sense of that. But I will follow however you as the GM want to handle it.

Thaddeus:
I prefer TWF myself as I think it's more 'roguey' if that makes sense. Rapier and dagger or twin short swords work. I also like to start gearing for Shadowdancer but taking TWF feat sets that back a bit, but no worries. Could have gone human and gotten an extra feat, but didn't fit the concept I have for the char. Not being one to min/max, I tend to take feats that fit my concept over those that max skill / damage output and makes the char more fun to play. (hence I don't have a 'dump' stat.. but all the stats are balanced with an edge toward dex / int)

Hope that helps. Was much easier before feats / skills / traits.. heh.

Chrystrom - it is appropriate to roll a perception for the cat. It definitely can notify you of danger, and it is a smart thing! So it can be very helpful to you in those regards.

Shilyn DeSable:
Thanks...we have some similar ideas I think. I struggled with taking TWF or Weapon Finesse at first level. I'll PM you my plan for feats through 12th level to get some if your thoughts. There's so much rogue hate out there it's hard to bounce ideas off of people without hearing "roll a ranger, alchemist or archaeologist."


Well I am off to work for the morning. Hopefully I'll be able to check in a lunch time and we will have an update ;) Can't wait to see what evil this cab driver has in store for us. :)

Liberty's Edge

I'm off to a day-long meeting...it will be about as exciting as watching a rock. As an added bonus I will be in the far corner of the building and will have spotty wifi at best.

If I do post it will be via my phone...so forgive me if I'm not my normally verbose self! ;-)


Male **Smuggler's Shiv Hex Map** Mad Scientest - Level Absolute **Smuggler's Shiv Editable Map**

sounds good. Last night was date night with the wife. We watched Avengers. It was oh so good. We'll be picking up quite a bit of the action today.


If anyone has knowledge (local) it might be helpful to get a roll or two. Not sure how the GM handles knowledge rolls but they rarely hurt :)

Oh also rereading our assigned task it is not that we must get it all done in "one day" but just "as soon as possible". It might have been a good idea to have spent some time in the Lodge doing a bit of research or asking a few questions...too late now but something we can maybe do in the future to help ourselves with some info.

Just getting home from work. I will get a post up in the next hour.

We'll resume from inside the house tomorrow morning. (though I might post later tonight if and when it inevitably ends up that I can't sleep.)

Just a thought, and I can suggest this surreptitiously in character if need be, but one of Ahzrin's daily extracts is Disguise Self. It might be fun to disguise as Auntie Baltwin, head upstairs to where some of the sick kids are, and potentially scope things out.

It just amuses me as a player to imagine this condescending half-orc disguised as a (by some accounts) kindly old matron, trying to scour for information.

Good idea, but this might not be the ideal situation to employ it, unless you are a fantastic actor :)

For example, she uses a cane, you don't have one, she's hunched over, even shrinking a foot, you'd be a foot taller than her, etc etc. Not saying it is impossible, just saying that this might not be the best application for your power.

It would be some pretty hard skill checks to duplicate her up close, and some pretty low will save DCs as a result of you failing.

Not telling you what to do, just explaining the difficulty of this particular situation. :)

Yeah thats pretty much what I figured. A fun roleplaying application but it would probably end up spelling disaster hah!

I'll save it for later. :)

Hrm.. what's one more cat among the mix.. with free reign on the house..


Sorry guys I had an official dinner event I had to attend last night and couldn't do any posting yesterday evening. I am going out with the family in a few minutes but should have time to do some posting this afternoon.

Until then, feel free to keep the story moving forward. Bander can stand in the corner grumbling to himself and Eli the cat will follow along with the ladies. Please take good care of him :o)

Male **Smuggler's Shiv Hex Map** Mad Scientest - Level Absolute **Smuggler's Shiv Editable Map**

Cool, thanks for the heads up.


Sorry guys if I stepped on any toes with my post, but in thinking about Bander's personality this is really how I picture him handling it: "Let's cut to the chase...you have two choices. You want our help or not" sort of thing. Kind of like the Drill Sergeants I work with every day. Short and to the point. Hopefully I haven't screwed things up too badly :o)

If we want to just let bygones be bygones and head out, Ahz would be fine with that. He's not quite up to speed though, and given what he heard from the neighbors and now with Auntie's sudden disappearance, he thinks things are far more nefarious than they may actually be. Just holler to him and rein him in if need be. :)


Dang summoning the guard won't let us loot the place :) What is with the law abiding gnome? I mean finders keepers, to the swift go the spoils, and all that.

I'll be back in about an hour for most posting. Please don't end the world or some such thing with out me ;)

lol... I'm afraid if we just leave, Auntie will summon the guard herself and tell them a bunch of pathfinders just came in and looted her place. The fact that she's an alcoholic doesn't give us the right to do that, and if she reports first, her report will likely carry more weight. I figure if WE summon the guards, they will make a full report, return the medicines to whoever donated them, and we can take the temple's package back to them when we report back... The gold? well that'd be nice to acquire, but I figure there will be plenty of gold to be had in time. I don't want to get accused of stealing the stuff.

Just a heads up. Starting Weds I will be on vacation. For a few days at least, I will be driving about 10 hours a day and only able to post very late at night pst. So if you don't hear from me for long periods, that's why.

We will be staying at hotels with wifi, so I will check in as soon as I can after arrival each night.

This sort of schedule is likely to last about 13 days (we return on June 13th, so just giving a heads up -

DM - feel free to bot my character in combat if I don't post quickly enough to keep things moving along.

Have fun Lore! My wife and I are also known to take vacations that involve a lot of driving!

Speaking of which.. Weekend of 30 June (Fri - Sun) I most likely won't be posting as there's a multi-gun competition I'll be going to. 'Zombie Pandemic 2012'. All targets are.. zombies :)


We seem to be at a bit of a stand still. Hopefully it's all good. Really enjoying the game so far. I think we have a great group of players and characters here.

I agree Bander. Having a blast so far. Newbie adventurers still trying to figure out how to function as a team and making newbie mistakes (like splitting up even though we, as players know better). I love it!

just posting here so you all know I'm still playing and alive... I am traveling and only have internet at night when we stop at hotels. But since Lore is busy with a multi-round action, not much need for me to post in the gameplay thread right now. :)
