oh, this is definitely an aquisition, but the merging (or perhaps re-training) of Information systems, daily processes, workflow, and culture is quite time consuming. Just when you think you have a path, you find something to stub your toe on...
I need to mention that I'll be out of the country on vacation from the 6th through the 15th. I'll have a laptop with me but am not sure how often I'll have internet so my posting could be interrupted, but i hope not too much.
Have fun and bring us all back a souvenir!
Thanks for playing me Dr. I have very poor Internet at the moment. And my phone has been stolen. :( Using my wife's phone. Internet carries by hotel so it might be better later in the week. It also seems better early in the morning so ill try again tomorrow morning.
Hah! Blossom's vengeance is complete!
Seriously, sorry I've been away a couple days on account of personal stuff. Will have a gameplay post up by tonight, I promise.
Oh dear, double teamed by an Iomedean Inquisitor & a Calistrian Witch.
Still with us, Doctor?
Trig! Damn, girl. Your +8 to intimidate is making my -2 look VERY inadequate. :P
Are we supposed to adjust the loot tracker document? I don't see mention on there of the scrolls Blossom has purchased & I am quite certain she doesn't have over three hundred gold still.
Also, as Trig mentioned earlier, as GM do you rule that it is allowable to 'take ten' on Spellcraft checks to learn spells? It would essentially mean Blossom will automatically learn any 1st, 2nd or 3rd level spell she tries to right now.
Finally, does Blossom have time, given what I have already stated, to go back & purchase new copies of the scrolls she purchased last time & didn't succeed in learning from?
Agree with Blossom here. Max gold to date should be around 264. No one should have much more than that. There seems to be a bug in the loot tracker.
No error in the document, I just failed to record the sale of those scrolls. AS I recall it was four 1st level scrolls for a cost of 100gp, right?
You may take 10 on spellcraft rolls to learn new spells, but you may not take 20. Taking 10 is just slowing down doing the taks without time constraint or distraction. Taking 10 is simply settling for an average roll each time whereas Taking 20 indicates the ability to fail many times before you succeed. That doesn't work for spell learning.
Blossom will have the time to go buy more scrolls and try to relearn them.
Alright, well then I will go ahead & purchase the three spells I did not succeed at learning last time; Charm Person, Cause Fear & Unseen Servant, so that is another 75 GP.
Sorry I haven't made a gameplay post yet, but the range on Charm Person is only going to be thirty feet & it will work better if he doesn't notice her casting it, hence my asking if we have other staff with us who might serve as concealment.
That's fine! Reva is just a jerk and should be ignored. I think we have four staff with us, counting Samaritha.
Sorry I haven't made a gameplay post yet, but the range on Charm Person is only going to be thirty feet & it will work better if he doesn't notice her casting it, hence my asking if we have other staff with us who might serve as concealment.
You have 3 bouncers types (who will not enter any combat) and Samaritha with you. If you ask them to go ahead as a protective screen, they will, but if it looks violent, the men will scatter. Samaritha may surprise you. I did not make icons for them, but will if you like (at least for her).
I don't need them to fight for me. I need them to be a 'random crowd' so that when we walk close enough for him to be in range, it isn't obvious that I am there casting a spell.
Tell them what you want, I bet they'll do it, especially if you bat your eyes at them.
Hmmm... After a couple weeks watching her dance, I think you might be right...
Doctor, are you waiting on another post from us?
This would be my personal preference as well. I would much prefer the PC's got items that appealed to their characters & concept than worry about every copper & gold...
I am good with that.
Ooh! Hey Saphren, what do you think would make a good language to use for Orc?
Klingon? If you want a language that uses our alphabet, I like swedish.
Klingon?
lol. Ninjaed.
Ninja'd by the rogue, how appropriate.
I'm happy for the proceeds for Magnus' scalemail (and heavy shield) to go to the party. What does that bring the final total to? I've upgraded Magnus' profile to account for his new AC.
The total per player is 44.2 gp from the sale of the junk loot, the coins, and the trade in value of the upgraded weapons and armor. Adding this to the loot tracker.
Hey Doc, just checking in to say that I'm heading off camping tomorrow and its quite possible that there'll be a week of radio silence on my part. If I can post via mobile I quite likely will, but just a heads up if I'm uncharacteristically quiet. Please bot me if I'm uncharacteristically quiet and I'll check in whenever I can.
Have fun! I will be here, jealous. People are still skiing around my place. :(
I just realized, re-reading my lat post, that I didn't specifically state that Blossom left Braddiker at Zincher's when she walked away. I figured it was implied, but I'm specifically stating it now, so there is no confusion.
Right. I got a 'courtesy of your friendly neighbourhood spiderman' vibe, only with more humiliation and nudity.
Same. And less webs. See if you can manage webs next time. Webs would be awesome. :)
I got your drift. And yes, webs would be awesome...
Huh, now I'm at something of an impasse. My original intent, after concluding that White-Haired-Witch wasn't going to work well by itself; was to look into Eldritch Knight, which would have required a 1 level dip into a Martial class which gave full Martial weapon proficiency. Of course, that would have meant giving up progression in Hair length as well as two levels of no spell advancement.
Now I'm looking at the Evangelist PrC out of Inner Sea Gods & it looks like it will give me almost as much, sooner, with less overall loss. & Witch is shown as a 'common' Calistrian aligned class...
The good news is that I wouldn't be eligible until sixth level & Inner Sea Gods is going into the PRD long before we will reach that point.
It's campaign setting, so it may not get into Paizo's PRD, but it'll probably be on D20pfsrd. Or maybe that's what you meant?
Nope, Word on High specifically stated that they would be adding it to the PRD. I will try & find the post in question.
Ok, I may have to retract my earlier statement. After searching for about half an hour, I'm still not finding the post I would swear I read...
Halloo?
Itching to write a post for Magnus but internet access is pretty limited. Might have to wait til I return to civilisation on Wednesday. Bear with me!
Ok. I was going to try posting while at my mother's house...
but the only thing available was her Windows 8 laptop...
I have never experienced this level of suck before, how the hell is Microsoft still in business?!
I will post tomorrow, from school.
"how the hell is Microsoft still in business?!"
Inertia.
Hmm. Are we stuck? A week has gone by…
It is, of course, my fault. I have been a bit overwhelmed with work stuff recently, and have cut back on my gaming time, including PbP. I think some of that is behind me now, and I'll try to get back in the swing of it again.
Apologies for the unexcused absence, I kept thinking "Today will be the day I get to that" but just kept running out of time. No excuses.
Let's see what happens next!
I'm at a conference right now and so totally sympathize as my games are suffering. Glad to have you back, Doc!
Okay, I feel as though I may be coming off as more abrasive than usual & I want to apologize if that is the case. It occurs to me that somewhat greater than usual realworld stressload (son's birthday which I won't be able to take part in because of work schedule & final exam for class due on Monday) at the moment. Please don't take my comments personally & let me know if you feel I should back off on something.
Which comments do you mean? That's a huge bummer though, I'm sorry to hear that.
Mostly I just noticed as a general trend my PC's seem to be acting rather more antagonistic/abrasive/reactive than I have played them in times past & some of it was just a reminder to myself that I might want to take a few minutes when posting that I might want to 'throttle back' a bit...
I'm totally happy with how you play Blossom and never take anything personally. What's in game is in game. So no worries on my part :)
I've sort of lost track of income and chances to shop. Anyone have a total income to date figure? And can we have spent some of it equipping. I still do not have what I consider a good full set of mundane gear.
