I will put a running total on the campaign page for XP, good idea Aeleanor, thanks.

Miss is fine, or Lady, for Kendra. Although she insists you just call her Kendra.

is the 800 to be split up between us all: 100/person, or is that all for Venedictos?

The 800 is split up. The total on the campaign info tab is the total XP per character.

I noticed some confusion about skills so here is a brief description along with a "house" rule that I use. Skills are either Prohibited (very few), cross-class (meaning you can still take ranks in it, but it costs 2 skill points to buy 1 rank) or class (no restriction and a +3 bonus to skill as long as you have at least 1 rank in it). Then they are also listed as trained only or not. Trained only skills require you to have at least one rank in them to even make a roll. However, as I recently learned, Knowledge skills (which are trained only) can be made untrained if the DC are 10 or less. This means that "aid another" knowledge skill checks, which is always DC 10, can be made by anyone. Normally, knowledge checks can not be aided. However, for research or study (like watching a creature for several minutes and discussing amongst yourselves) I allow the "aid another" option. In addition, for all "aid another" skill checks that involve collaboration I allow everyone to roll who is involved and use the best roll and use the remainder as the "aid another" rolls. I feel this gives the best "feel" for group research or collective efforts.

Ok, I'm a moron :) I went through all the trouble to show the skill rules and then forgot to get rid of the double cost for cross class skills. Ignore that part. Any skill rank costs only 1 point, but you get a +3 for class skills.

Corey, I happened to be looking at your sheet to see why you have darkvision (did you mean low-light vision?) and noticed you short-changed yourself in the Strength department. An 8 Strength only gives a -1 penalty, not -2.

i was going to mention the darkvision part too.

@Nazard

Thanks, you are right. I meant to say low-light vision. Thanks for the catch. As for the strength modifier, thanks for that as well. I accidentally wrote down the value an 8 is on a 25 point buy rather than the actual ability modifier. Much appreciated.

that's actually pretty funny, but I don't think it would work as they are already attacking and despite the fact that your familiar has intelligence, the others are mindless.

OK no problem. Just asking :). btw, would her familiar be immune to their poison?

Sorry I missed the first bit this morning. I didn't expect staring at a wall to produce monsters.

I guess it was your "magnetic" personality :)

I might need to do something about these magnets, they're messing up my swings!

Quick question: Do you want us to post headers on each of our attacks that list the turn, our AC, HP and things like that? And if so, how do you want it formated?

I have yet to meet a DM that did not like you putting your AC/HP at the top of each round, and also listing the round that the action is for. I also makes life easier for you, because you will not wonder whether you have acted in a round.

It is a good practice, but not necessary for me as I set each round with the list and conditions of each combatant.

We should probably all wait until we get confirmation that we're back at Kendra's. Somehow, I doubt it's all going to be that easy...

Researching

So far there are two things of interest, the prison and the Whispering Way. You are pretty sure that you have found out all you can so far about the Whispering Way. Other avenues of research may open up also. There are four places to research, the professor's library (WW), the Town Hall (prison), Temple of Pharasma (prison, maybe WW) and the Unfurled Scroll (both?).
You make make one knowledge check (of the appropriate type) at each location per day spent researching there.

Quick question: I've never heard of Trust points. I'm guessing this is a measure of how much the town will put up with us running around stirring things up?

Yes, it is a special thing for this adventure only. As it increases you get benefits (like free healing, discounts etc.) if it decreases you get less cooperation and eventually angry mobs :)

Cool - mobs are good, lots of people together - time to meet Mr Fireball. BOOM

Is it our game that's recruiting or the Brawn game? Who have we lost?

Team Brawn, the recruitment page is tied to them so ignore it. You guys are way ahead of them.

HP roll 1d6 ⇒ 6

Profile updated.

Are we rolling HP, taking average or picking which one we like?

What the hey, I'll just go ahead and roll ...

1d10 ⇒ 7

I can live with that.

HP - Oracle: 1d8 ⇒ 5

Unless there is some reason to focus on the earthbreaker, I'm planning to take Weapon Focus: Greatsword. I'll keep both around for when I need blunt damage.

Ok, leveled up - Oracle(lore) - CLW and Shield of Faith are my spells.

If someone else takes a divine class or cleric class, I may switch out the CLW, please let me know.

HP Sorc - 1d6 ⇒ 5

The randomizer is finally pleased...

Bard hp: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8 favoured class
Woo hoo!!

Unless there is some reason to focus on the earthbreaker, I'm planning to take Weapon Focus: Greatsword. I'll keep both around for when I need blunt damage.

Right now I am using the scimitar and shield, but once I start taking Sorcerer levels, I will not be able to use the shield, so I might switch to a big two handed weapon - Earth Breaker, Greatsword, or Falchion.

Paladin level 2:
hp 1d10 ⇒ 6
favored class bonus +1 hp
+1 BAB
+1 Fort save, +1 Will save
Skill ranks: Ride, Heal

Think I'm all leveled up. Acid Splash is new 0 level spell, +1 ranks in Bluff, knowledge arcana,UMD & spellcraft (favored class bonus +1 skill point). BAB +1, +1 will save, HP total 14

I will verify everything when I get home today.

I am taking a couple of spells from the AVP, I hope that is alright.

1d6 ⇒ 5 +1 CON +1 favored class = 7

I believe we're ready to go into the prison in the morning. We seem to be holding of on contacting the spirits at this time.

For some reason, the gameplay thread won't let me post. Here's my perception roll if it works here...

Perception : 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Of course. It was a 17 when i tried on the other thread...

Took out some spaces & it suddenly worked. must have been some weird coding thing

Cosmopolitan is a good choice, or you could try to find something else. You cna take your time and when ready, let me know.

That is fine Ad', go ahead and make the change.

I will be camping this weekend so I will not be on from Friday night until Sunday night.

Well, got home last night all exicted about starting back up and, of course, no internet as Comcast decided to work on the lines in our area at night!!!! Talk about frustrating.

Galahad, FYI just wanted to let you know Shol'a'saul is carrying the silver flute and also some other loot recovered in her gear. Her profile has all the equipment she is carrying.

HP:1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Heads up that I'm going to be away until Sunday. Might be able to post once or twice, but not much more.

I am also leaving for the week, I'll be back Sunday though.
