Looks like we have a bloodrager, a bard, a ninja, and a battle oracle.
Fromper |
So assuming the bloodrager, ninja, and battle oracle are all front liners, then I probably shouldn't bring another front line type. And based on the classes, we should have plenty of charisma for social skills, but only one person capable of using a cure wand.
My 3 PCs at level 1:
Salagadoola - Gnome Wizard (illusionist, other misc spells, some bluff skill)
Grrprr - Grippli Fiend Keeper Medium (finesse/light armor front liner, diplomacy)
Skivrik - Ratfolk Trap Breaker Alchemist (Bomb thrower, trap finder/disabler)
I have to bring Skivrik for Consortium Compact, since the other two already have GM credit for it. Metagaming, since I've done all these adventures multiple times before, I'd lean towards Grrprr for Wounded Wisp, and Skivrik for The Confirmation. But I'd like to play Salagadoola at some point, so I may bring him for The Confirmation, just to play each of them once.
Which adventure are we doing first?
GM Granta |
Order is #5-08, #6-10, #7-10.
Please list any expendable magic items that you need someone else to activate and/or are willing to share with other characters. For example, do you have a scroll of lesser restoration that you’ll need the cleric to cast if you take ability damage?
If you have a Day Job, roll that as well.
Suna Shima |
This is a totally fresh character. No magic items.
Daffy Johns |
...but only one person capable of using a cure wand
Two, right? Oracle and Bard?

Please describe your character’s personality and combat strategy. If you are comfortable with another player botting you, please say so here and then add a “BOT ME” spoiler to your profile. But be aware that I do not bot characters. If another player does not post your actions, you will be delayed and/or skipped entirely.
Basic
- Halberd: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13 Adamantine, Piercing, Slashing: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
- Greatclub: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9 Bludgeoning: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15
- Sap: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17 Bludgeoning, Nonlethal: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
- Longbow: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17 Piercing: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Should we do the personality stuff in character in the game play thread?
Salagadoola's a typical chaotic neutral Pathfinder gnome. In other words, he's ADHD incarnate, and a pathological liar. He has a wide enough variety of spells and spell-like abilities not to have a routine in combat.
Rosey the skunk familiar is easier. Even before you asked, I had already planned to tell you what Rosey's action will be in every round of combat unless I say otherwise, since it's almost always going to be the same. He moves with Salagadoola, staying in the same square. If we've moved no more than 30 ft, then Rosey will use his standard action to ready a stink attack against any enemy that gets close to us (range 10 ft).

Daffy Johns is a bit bewildered at his own decision to join the Pathfinders. One day he was a busker by the waterfront of Sothis, the next he's walking into the lodge and beginning his training as a potential field agent. He couldn't exactly tell you why he joined, but then again he's never really taken anything else in his life seriously, so why think too hard about it now? Besides, he needed new materials for his songs, anyway. He's generally friendly and helpful, and will usually try to defuse a tense situation with a joke or a song whenever possible.
In combat, he will immediately begin a bardic performance. If needed and possible, he will use watersong to alter the landscape to help his allies (creating a bridge across water, a ladder to go up, etc). Otherwise, he will inspire courage, using lingering performance and spending standard actions to cycle his performance to save rounds for later. After beginning his performance he will use Daze to try to disrupt enemies, and then switch to his shortbow or melee weapons, as the situation dictates.
Kyun Norheim |
Kyun is of mixed Ulfen and Tien heritage and hails from the Land of the Linnorm Kings. He's sociable but displays a devious streak when necessary. He is perhaps a tad naïve, but that might be due to him being quite young.
In combat he prefers full attacking while flanking, tumbling into position when needed.
Suna Shima |
On special assignment from Nagajor, Suna is tasked with making contacts with nobility and looking for potential allies for her home country. Ambitious and fiercely loyal, Suna is eager to impress in her new position.
Suna uses her weapons to attack in combat, generally using her bardiche, though she switches to heavy flail if close combat can't be avoided. If needed, she uses her spells to help allies in trouble.
"Spark" |
sorry... been sick and trying to catch up on all my games... will be running Crowe the pregen bloodrager for this game, will switch to spark for the next games... game she's in is lagging; should have been done by now.
Daffy Johns |
FYI GM Granta, neither of us put bot instructions in our profile, but Suna (Kate) and I (Dennis) are married and will bot for each other in the unlikely event it's necessary.

Please make sure that your stat bar includes alignment, race, class & level, AC, hp, saves, initiative, senses, and CMD. If you prepare spells, post them in this thread.
Also, please copy your avatar to the map.

Prepared spells, unless anyone has any requests before we start (click my name to see full stats, including spellbook):
1st: Color Spray, Adhesive Spittle, Silent Image
0 (at will): Mage Hand, Light, Daze
Salagadoola Menchickaboola |
Anyone have any spell requests? Besides changing out what I have prepared, it would also only cost 5 gp to purchase a new level 1 spell for my spellbook, so I can pick up a couple before we start. I plan on filling this guy's spellbook eventually, but I haven't played him yet, so I haven't done any of that yet. But he has 2 xp from GM credits so I'm sitting on 300+ gp I could spend.
I'll take requests. Just not divination or necromancy spells, since those are my opposition schools (thus the wand of Identify that I spent 2 prestige to get).
Suna Shima |
I have both played and GMed it before.

So FYI, I will be at PaizoCon this weekend and may have limited posting Thursday through Monday. I don't mind being botted if needed. Dennis will also be at PaizoCon, but starting Friday.
JAFO's pregen alias quatre |
Heads up all... I am going to Gamex this weekend... we leave early in the morning and not sure when/if I'll be able to check in before Monday night... If I can post, it will be limited in time with brief posts... Please feel free to bot me if I'm holding things up... thanks...
Daffy Johns |
Since a lot of PbPers are Americans celebrating a holiday weekend (including myself), I'm going to treat Monday as part of the weekend--i.e. I'll only do one update, and expect one player post, during the three days. Regular posting will resume Tuesday.
Please remember to bot characters who don't post in a timely manner.
You said we were getting back to regular posting on Tuesday, yet you skipped someone Tuesday morning before they'd had a chance to post on Tuesday....
Anyway, we are back from PaizoCon and ready to resume regular posting.
GM Granta |
I'm running 10 games, and it's a lot like deciding whether to invite the one second cousin you're close with to your wedding, when you don't have room to invite your 15 other second cousins. I can't retcon or delay every time a player wants it, so I have to draw a line somewhere.
Your table had 44 hours to post Suna's action, and a heads-up that she might need to be botted. That's on the far side of the line.
Yes, it's an arbitrary GM fiat, and for that I apologize. But it's necessary for my sanity, so it stands.
Daffy Johns |
I get that, and I totally understand needing to draw a line. 44 hours is a perfectly reasonable point to skip a character, I was just surprised, because you had said one post Saturday-Monday would be sufficient, and Tuesday was the day to return to posting, and then didn't give us Tuesday to post. If I had known you wanted it by Monday we could have made more of an effort to post from a phone or something on Monday.
Salagadoola Menchickaboola |
Wow! I'm actually able to get into the forum and see posts! Taking bets on whether that lasts more than 2 minutes this time...
I'm not sure if everyone's having the same issues, but I've just put a game I'm GMing on hold, because it's been almost a week that the site just isn't stable enough to host games. So if I'm slow posting, that's why. But I expect everyone else is having similar issues.
JAFO's pregen alias quatre |
site was down to modems, but not to 4g... my phone had no trouble connecting but I didn't learn that til this morning, just a couple of hours til Paizo re-opened and they fixed it all... crazy, they were down to modem connection for 14 hours, sigh. I am getting tired of the outages, that's for sure.
JAFO's pregen alias quatre |
calling it here is fine with me... all that's really left is returning to absalom anyway, right?
JAFO's pregen alias quatre |
ah is there? well, I'll leave it up to you if you want to run it or call it... fine with me either way...
