Thanks, It probably wont affect my characters as much as my DMing since the map I use was on that laptop.

Just a note for anyone that might want to meet up in person, I am going to be at both PaizoCon and GenCon. Here are my reasonably solid but tentative schedules if you might want to play with me (I'll be runing my Cleric most likely) or be GMed by me.

I'm from Belgium, so chances are you will have to play without me ;)

Hey folks, letting you all know that I started a new job and the current project requires 12 hour days. Awesome for pay but b$##&**s for PbP. I'll try my best to keep up posts but I thought I should forewarn you.

Congrats on the new J O B.

It's construction work but once the project's over I should have more free time. Both a plus and a negative, of course.

Have fun!
Hope you can maintain a once-a-day, but if noit i'm sure everyone here understands.

Rain won out on the job today. As long as it continues to poor I won't know whether to work until I get a call in the morning.

On another note, it's interesting to see this conflict. Hopefully Fofin's xenophobia doesn't really wedge up the party, hehe! I could see a good inner-struggle playing out where he fights with his own stubbornness vs the need for the group.

Congrats on the job Fofin but as Kesten said hopefully it won't take away from us getting a daily "Fofin fix"...lovin' that dwarf :)

Ethan will have his work cut out for him in the beginning to keep the peace but I think once we start along the trail of things and start killing stuff together that whole "mutual respect" will start to grow.

Runks already a big fan (even if he thinks the dwarfs a bit light between the ears :)

On the flip side Ziz and Blake you're doing a great job of playing up the community link. Really makes things seem more organic rather than just "you all appear in town, become immediate friends for no reason and head off together". Which is another reason I think a bit of conflict is good in the beginning. It also brings the town to life more to have people tied to it.

Oh and Kesten, you're just a nut :)

Haha thanks Runk!
I like playing characters with a...
Well, this might seem strange but it's a literal translation from Flemish :D
..with a corner detached. Kinda like "A puzzle missing a piece", I find them to be more interesting than just regular old "I R 4DV3NTUR0R!". I can see I'm not the only one though.

Warning: The following is fictional and not at all meant to be taken seriously!

Doh can't believe I left Ethan out who is playing an awesome cleric of Erastil. I think you're really nailing the right feel for him. Good thing too, someone has to run the looney bin :)

I like "corner detached". Around here the equivalent would be "screw loose" or "a few cards short of a full deck". :)

Thanks!

Ethan's turning out to be the straightman of the group (Bud Abbot, of Abbot and Costello, if you will) with a bit of a St. Francis of Assisi/Gandhi vibe.

Will anything cause a break in his calm demeanor? We shall see...

My bet is that far down the road after a myriad of trials and tribulations, blood and sweat we'll all be level 20 standing victorious over a field of broken rune giants and fallen rune lords. Exhausted and battered we'll be catching our breath after the epic battle when Blake turns to Fofin and says "See I told you it wasn't Gorham!".

At that point Ethan is gonna completely lose it.

:)

Agreed Fofin is an awesome dwarf, and I like that we have some conflict in the group. It makes the story that much better when characters conflict and grow and change and are not just flat sheets of paper who run around and kill things. Blake "hates" him right now, so it will be interesting to see how that changes during the course of our adventures.

Hahahaha Runk. That's the exact moment that Ethan instantly converts to a level 20 cleric of Gorum, and kicks both of their asses simultaneously :D

Also: Sorry for leaving you out Ethan, you're just too... neutral!
I love how you're playing up the community thing that is Erastil: helping in the kitchen, giving alms, etc! You go dawg!

Looks like the jailers fed them after midnight...

This.

Also, I agree with Blake. This is a great group with so much potential in character building. I would advise, however, Blake not leave his waterskin unattended while Fofin has a few casks of brew in his system. Haha!

HAHAHA!

"Perhaps you should ask him if the 'long shanks' was ever in the company of a giant feral hamster," Ethan suggests quietly.

Et tu Ethan?

;)

Ethan is trying to make sure the question is asked and answered quickly, so that Fofin and Blake's dispute will not fester into something worse.

Lance that blister! :-)

Yeah, I liked the goblin's answer: "some halfbreed". Fester away!

I'm sure Dak was having fun with that answer :)

Oh yeah :D

It's great! I can't wait to see Fofin's face when he's wrong, though. That will be priceless, especially since he's so damn sure.

Who says he's wrong? Dak's modifying the module as we speak :)

Obviously he read UCampaign. There it says that you should always give pc's who "retire" something meaningful to do ;)

Then, the look on his face would be twice as humorous...not to mention the string of bragging to follow. Ethan might have to keep Blake from driving Fofin back into the ground! xD

Great post Ethan.

+1

Absolutely the first stepping stone to a beau-uuuuuu-tiful friendship ;)

Thanks! Of course, Blake wasn't there to hear it... chuckle.

I can't...even...what?

I don't even think Fofin can argue with thse majestic words of peace. Everybody, please welcome Golarion's Henry Kissinger! He defuses the hate between dwarf and man alike!

/clap...

I'll say it again, you guys rock :)

This group is gold! Good things in the future, boys, good things!

/joins the slowclap!

Thank yo all! I am doing my best to keep Ethan interesting in his own way.

YES YES YES, Loved the speech even if Blake didn't hear it. Really liking how the dynamics of this group is playing out. All the characters are GREAT.

Sorry for the delay, some family medical stuff has come up. Should be good to go this afternoon/evening.

Kesten forgives you :-)

Well, maybe voice 1 and 3 do but voice 2 and 4 are very disappointed. Voice 5 isn't sure who you are or why it's here.

XDDD

You liked it? :-D

Yep, sorry was going to mention it with Runks next post. Reminded me a bit of the old Dark Sun novel series. :)

Sort of fits with the Oracle character trait as well. Maybe the voices aren't just in his head...(cue spooky music)

I figured haunted for him would not necesarily be that there are spirits following him, knocking things over. More like voices in his head that are a constant distraction so he does it himself, appearing very clumsy and unable to explain any further.

We'll see how long the "I'm a sorcerer" will last, I/Kesten will attempt to maintain the ruse (spelling?) as long as possible. Self-preservation.

Note 1: It appears to me Kesten has no idea what everyone "does". Runk fighter, Fofin fighter, Kesten fighter, Ethan priest, Ziz caster, and Red fighter? :D

Note 2:
Just a little heads-up:
My girlfriend booked a last-minute to Spain, so I will be out of the country from sunday to thursday. I will ofc attempt to check in regularly, but should the need arise you may DM PC me.
If everything is taken care of as I believe it will be, I should be able to at least post once a day :)

Hours picked at work for me. I'm flagging on roads way out in the boonies, usually without service and by the time I get home I'm so exhausted and sun burnt it's hard to update. I'll keep trying but it's likely the weekends will be catch-up.

If it proves to be too minimal I would understand and withdraw so the place may be filled by someone who might have the privilege to play with this excellent group.

Fofin I'd much rather have things run a bit slower and keep a great player like yourself onboard. My expectation is that this run will be going for quite some time so a temporary slow down during the summer (when I'm sure others will be on vacation and such anyway) isn't a big deal in the long run.

Now if you feel it's too much from a real life perspective and you're not going to enjoy the game then certainly do what you feel is best. But as far as my vote, I'd love to have you stick around.

That's all OOC of course. Runk would probably just shrug and steal your purse when you left. Though perhaps not...he is pretty amused by the orc hating, ale swillin' dwarf. :)

I'm with Runk on this. Summer is hard and not everyone can find the time to check/post regularly. Can't all be as awesome as me and Runk, can we?

If you feel it's too much, we understand. But let's add some emotional blackmail and say that Kesten would hate to see his only friend in the world leave ;)

*sob* :p

Whoops! Meant to do the shopping last night, but didn't have time.

Buying:
sling 0gp
bullets (10) 1sp
belt pouch 1gp
longspear 5gp
silk rope 10gp
waterskin 1gp
Total cost: 17gp, 1sp

Well, I'm glad to hear such from you fellows! I'll hope to keep up and see this excellent game to its end!

Sorry all, craziness again. I've been in 4 states over the last week... I'm hoping to have everything finally worked out this weekend...

Erhan's purchases, so far:

Dark wood club
Buckler
3 arrows

Anyone interested in splitting the cost of a pack mule and a tent?

Do we have a feel for how far we're going? Is this a day trip or a couple day journey?
