Ready! I hope the spiritualist version of this character wasn't too off-putting. The flavor was fun, but he wasn't very effective. This will fix that.

Hey folks, just wondering if we have a sense of when gameplay posting would resume in this campaign. Hope all is well.
Gallows Part 3 | REBIRTH!
Hey Marcus!
I've been a bit overtaxed from the last few weeks, but I will have a post up this afternoon!
Thanks again for being so patient!

Not a problem at all, and thanks for responding so quickly!

I'm still here. Hoping we'll pick up again when Gameday ends... But I guess it might be a good idea to check in with the GM and see what his plans are...

I am reminded every time that I attempt to Overextend that it is you guys that suffer the most.
Work's been a bit rough for the last month (About half of my employees turned over, including my manager) and PbP Gameday wrecked my face by running Seeker Content.
I'm here, and willing to keep this moving so you all can see the rest of the story through!

Hey there GM, no worries - I think Gameday has taxed many of us. At least it's been a lot to handle for me! But I'm still looking forward to continuing this one whenever you are ready. Thanks!

Glad to hear from you, though I'm sorry the month has been tough!
I've still been checking up on this campaign daily, because it's kind of my favorite. :) I'll be thrilled to get it going again, when you're able.

As an FYI, I am going to have trouble posting from approximately 12:00 PM EST on Friday Nov. 16 through approximately 12:00 PM EST on Sunday Nov. 18, as I will be traveling with my family. I will try to get signal on my phone and make a post here and there, but if necessary, feel free to bot Marcus so we can make progress.
Gallows Part 3 | REBIRTH!
Finally got a chance to get the Map up, so we should be in good shape!
For the future, since we are going into the home of a trapper, It would make sense to have a standard operating procedure for opening doors / looking around. Now would be a great time to talk about the plan, so when we get to the Door Kicking, we can move along!
Male Human (Varisian) Bolt Ace 5/Ranger 1 | HP 51/51 | AC 22, T 17, FF 15 CMD 23 | Fort +8, Ref +13, Will +5 | Init +8 | Perc +11 | Sense Motive +2 | Grit 1/2
Pretty much just examine the door for traps before dealing with any locks or traps; perception's a +8.
I'll take-10 on any Disable Device checks to start with for a 23.
CG female outsider (native) ranger 3 ... Initiative +10 ... Perception +5 (6 vs. traps) ... Sense Motive -1 HP 25/25 ... Panache 1/2 ... AC 17 touch 14 flat 13 ... CMD 19 ... SAVES (F/R/W) +5/+8/+2 ... MW C. Longbow (p/b, rapid) +7/+7 (1d8+3/x3; 110' range)
Miri will provide secondary eyes (+5--charisma-based archetypes for the win, eh?) and try to aid another Dusty on disable checks whenever possible. She also has a +13 disable device, which means she should aid on a 1 assuming there aren't any big penalties in play. Should bring the party's total DD up to a 25, at least when there's room for 2 to work in tandem.

THF can help look with a +7, but not having Diaable Device he's happy to let others take point on that.
CG male human (Chelaxian) Bard 3|HP 21/21 |AC 15(16) Tch 13 FF 12(13) (+1 shield bonus from buckler)|F 2 R 6 W 2 (+4 vs. bardic perf., lang. dep., sonic, +1 when not on material plane) |CMD 16| Perc +5 | Init +4 | +1 darkwood comp. shortbow (+6, 1d6+2/×3, P, 70' range) | cold iron dagger (+3, 1d4+1/19-20×2)
Marcus can help check for traps with a +5 Perception bonus; however, he does not have any ranks in Disable Device and cannot help disarm traps.
If we hit a trap that is particularly difficult to disarm (i.e., the disarm fails, but trap does not go off [fail by 4 or less]), Marcus can attempt to assist with inspire competence. However, since this will use between 1d4 and 2d4 rounds per trap and eats rounds that could be used for inspire courage during combat, Marcus will only do this when necessary.

Fizzlebottom doesn't have Disable Device but will help look around as much as he can. (Perception +2).

I will be completely off the grid from Thursday (Dec. 6) to Tuesday (Dec. 11). Please bot me as needed.

I'll make sure that you follow along accordingly Fizzle!

I didn't even know that PAX had done a Tabletop specific convention! Nice to hear that you go to go.
Gallows Part 3 | REBIRTH!
They just started it Last year. I was organizing the PFS / SFS room there. It was a lot of fun, and not too far of a drive.

CG male human (Chelaxian) Bard 3|HP 21/21 |AC 15(16) Tch 13 FF 12(13) (+1 shield bonus from buckler)|F 2 R 6 W 2 (+4 vs. bardic perf., lang. dep., sonic, +1 when not on material plane) |CMD 16| Perc +5 | Init +4 | +1 darkwood comp. shortbow (+6, 1d6+2/×3, P, 70' range) | cold iron dagger (+3, 1d4+1/19-20×2)
Since you requested we finalize a standard door opening procedure in the gameplay thread, I thought I'd summarize what we have so far to give us a starting point:
SUMMARIZED FROM EARLIER POSTS IN THIS DISCUSSION THREAD
Searching for traps at doors
Everyone mentioned checking with Perception (Dusty +8, Miri +5, THF +7, Marcus +5, Fizz +2). Marcus would take 10 for a 15.
Dealing with traps
Dusty - (primary disarmer) Take-10 on any DD (23 to check)
Miri - assist with DD if possible (aid another, succeeds on a 1 with a mod of 13)
Marcus - Inspire Competence if necessary for trap disarm (i.e. trap disarm failed, but did not explode). Takes between 1d4 and 2d4 rounds of Bardic Performance per trap (1d4 vs 2d4 depends on the specific trap, as per the Disable Device skill)
Opening the door
[NEW] Marcus would stand 10-15' away at an angle if possible, with bow at the ready and ideally a clean shot at the door. As a ranged weapon user and secondary caster, he'd prefer not to be the one to open the door.
Male Human (Varisian) Bolt Ace 5/Ranger 1 | HP 51/51 | AC 22, T 17, FF 15 CMD 23 | Fort +8, Ref +13, Will +5 | Init +8 | Perc +11 | Sense Motive +2 | Grit 1/2
Looks like a good summary to me :-)
Dusty also won't want to be right at the front - You okay in that position Fool?

Hey Guys!
I have had... a really rough patch during the holidays. Between a bit of Anxiety and a bit of Depression, coupled with a Great Deal of low self esteem, I've been doing a really poor job of communicating with everyone in my life.
I really appreciate you guys being patient with me as I work through this.
