Guilty. You are a lawbreaker – the worst of the worst. Too dangerous to live amongst the good people of Talingarde, they dragged you in chains before a magistrate and condemned you. They sent you to the worst prison in the land and there they forever marked you. They held you down and branded you with a runic F. You are forsaken. You won’t be at Branderscar Prison for long. Branderscar is only a holding pen. In three days – justice comes. In three days – everything ends.
What a pity. If only there was a way out of this stinking rat-hole. If only there was a way to escape. If only…
No. No one has ever escaped from Branderscar Prison. This is where your story ends.

Happy Fourth of July people. Unless you're British, then I'm sorry for your loss.
I should also mention it be nice if you put a definite age on your characters, it might be irrelevant but there is a possibility that your characters will shift in age category so it'd be nice for me to know.
Are we using maps or theater of the mind?
A bit of both. the maps are 10 ft squares so tactical mapping is vet harder than usual.
Also getting the images to use for tokens for tactical maps is a pain.
Yeah, that's a serious design flaw in Way of the wicked. When I tried running it I worked very hard to match things up and it still didn't work quite right.

Here are the rules for being flat-footed. During a surprise round, all unaware combatants are considered flat-footed unless they have Combat Reflexes.
Ah thanks. I was just looking at Surprise round and attacks of opportunity.

I totally missed this opening. Dotted into the discussion thread now.
Casius is 21 - it's in his profile.
Can everyone please check in so I can see who's still here.

Saulric. He's the only one who hasn't posted anything.
Sorry. Didn't realize it was my turn

As much as I'd like to take that Attack of Opportunity, I have no weapon and don't get one yet. I still give Baolo a +2 for flanking though and will pursue him if necessary.
I'll let you take an attack of opportunity right now because of the awkward angle he has to go through to actually get away.

Heroes are all a matter of perspective. I am sure to the worshippers of Asmodeus, we'll be their knights in shining, bloody armor.
Just so you know I only give an NPC loot if you identify that your looting them, so you've only looted one guard.
I'm going to need to be more descriptive when I give the answers on where you guys are going.
Araton is in room 17 on the map in Images. the rest of you guys are in the hall connecting to all of the 18 rooms. your cell was 18a and Grumblejacks cell is room 19.

I apologize if I seem like I am rushing folks, I just know that I'm scouting for us all and I don't want things to lag behind on my account.
The extra descriptions will be very useful GM Kobolum, thank you very much! :)

Baolo did take a sword, he can give over the MW dagger to Katherina for her to use until we find another guard to butcher.
Female Half Orc
She can shield bash just fine until then. In fact, it helps with the thematics of planned character development.

@Lazarus - I'm sorry, I totally forgot to edit in that the window was still part of the veil and not an actual window. My apologies on that blunder.
No worries! These things happen.
Wasn't there an armory? Did I miss something?

There is an armory in the prison it seems. We probably still need to get there however.

If someone wouldn't mind gathering up all the loot we've found so far and put it here, I'll snag the lootsheet I've been using in a few games now and put in all the info.
It is a real nice Excel sheet on Google Sheets. Has separate tabs for individual loot sheets and a group loot sheet.
With the recent acquisition of a map you are now able to see the entire map in images.

If Saulric has the great sword, then Baolo would have claimed the glaive. Sorry for not catching that as I skimmed the posts.

Hey there guys, good news is that the boards are back!
Bad news is is that I got a job which means less times here on the boards. I will have to depart this game, unfortunately. I had a good time getting it all started and I hope it lasts long and fruitful.
Take care folks, see you around the boards!
Congrats on the job! See ya around!

Sorry to see that you have to go. But I hope that you enjoy your new job!! Also good to see that hte boards are up again. I have had a draft sitting in my email for quite some time now.
Well that sucks but this is why I've recruited so many players in the first place, because I knew this was inevitably going to happen.
Goodbye wage slave. May your coin pouch overflow with gold.
Female Half Orc
Grats on the job.
Ugh, Paizo and my life conspired it seems and I either haven't had time or not been able to post until now.
Well I hope everyone enjoyed their mandatory two week break.
Roll call, who's still here?

So anybody have any thoughts on Return of the Runelords?
Return of the Runelords? Is this something different from Rise of the Runelords?

For those of you who don't know, Paizo—who are working on transitioning to the second edition of Pathfinder and finishing up at the War for the Crown Adventure Path—are moving on to their final two adventure paths that will function using the first edition Pathfinder rules. The first up of these two is Return of the Runelords, the third installment of the runelords trilogy consisting of Rise of the Runelords and Shattered Star. It is also the first Adventure Path that is going to reach level 20 without using Mythic.
The player's guide. for Return of the Runelords came out today and after skimming it over it's very clear that they expect that you have played Rise of the Runelords and Shattered Star. Even if you run this Adventure Path without playing the aforementioned two adventure it says that those two adventures have happened at this point. This is the first time Paizo has ever put out an adventure path that canonically takes place after another adventure path. (The Hell’s series take place simultaneously, And Shattered Star gives GM's several outs to not run Rise of the Runelords.)
The information on the second adventure came from the Pathfinder wiki so I’m not going to say anything about that.
I haven't played either all the way through, so I probably wouldn't be a good candidate. It seems interesting though.

James Jacobs has said that all three are part of a trilogy - that has always been the intention with the three adventure paths. Shattered Star actually assumes Rise of the Runelords happened, as well.
I picked up the first volume of Return of the Runelords, and I have to say, it’s looking really good. It goes all the way to level 20, and features a lot of potentially epic battles.
I just added the Player’s Guide to my downloads, so I haven’t read it yet, but I imagine that if you haven’t played either, you could probably use the iconics from those APs in place of your own characters.
