@Kunala: What you've done so far seems fine to me, no issues.
Just as a heads-up, my wife could go into labor with our first baby girl any day now, so when that happens I'll make sure to post here and say that it's happened, and then I'll probably be posting much less frequently for at least a few days.
Thats ok, mine arrived 01.08
I am good with things, Kimos is just a bit serious about certain stuff. Prefers to keep things low key and standing out is bad in a lot of ways both personally and practically considering the land and setting. He means well even if it comes off differently.
As for his role, currently a switch hitter. Plays off being a ranged guy which he can be but specializes in melee. His skills are mostly centered around assassinish stuff. He could serve as a good scout, look out, and tracker too. Which by extension kinda makes him a front liner, just needs a flanking buddy once he gets sneak attack to be a real beast. ;)
P.S. DM did you get my last PM?
P.S.S. Tamoq congrats and hope she is born healthy. ^.^
New to play-by-post, not new to RPGs or Pathfinder.
Shortening the name to Raffin or Raff is fine with me. Raffinyaler is a bit of a "legitimate businessman," so he's not going to be entirely comfortable dealing with the officials in Torch since they're aware of his reputation (and some of them may have taken advantage of his services in the past). Dealing with pretty much anyone else he's not going to have an issue.
Kunala, I've no problem with switching off with you on being face as the situation calls especially since Raffinyaler is probably a more fitting face for dealing with less savory characters.
Baby is coming today! So yeah, very limited posting right now.
GRATS
Congrats Tamoq
Concerning Init and order, I would suggest post regardless of order and sort them. Some people won't be able to post at some times and waiting on one person can slow things down a lot in my exp. If your actions are dependent on someone else's then it's easier to correct then wait on. My 2c.
Please everyone make stat line with your name. Saves Ini perception AC
So I have a few questions on the map and where everything is. Since the one you posted had no grid coordinates, I went ahead and threw some on it (as can been seen here) and I'll be referring to them in my questions.
1. Based off Kunala's comments, I assume that we're coming in through the double doors (L4/5) near the base of the stairs and the robot is in/near the north-western corner (D1). Is this correct?
2. I can't really tell based off this map, but is the upper-left part of the map (the square with A1-C1-A3-C3 as it's corners) part of another building or is the foundry freestanding?
3. Where is Val and which of the three (four?) doors is she headed towards?
Alright, as I said, this is my first PBP leading, and I will definetly need help with the maps.
Apart from that. I can answer all questions. I can´t see the coordinates unfort, I get an error. South is where you can read foundry.
1. You enter through the double southern door. The robot is working on the workbench in the north-western corner. The brown table. A little to the east is a water basin.
2. The Foundry is freestanding.
3. Val is trying to leave through the southern door. The one you opened.
Helikon, if I may make a recommendation for maps; Try using Roll20. Not only does it allow you to move the tokens easier, but the grid is already there and you can place the maps easily enough. Plus they even have lighting :D
I am in d20 I will try tomorrow.
Try this link. If that doesn't work then the coordinate system I'm using is basically columns are A-L, with A being the left-most column of the building, and rows are 1-12 with 1 being the top row of the building.
There appears to be no double door on the south wall - only a single door (C12). The other opening (F12/G12) looks to be a large window like the openings at A6, A10, E1, K1, and L7 due to them all being blue/white, the areas inside directly next to them being lighter, and the exteriors having an outward flaring molding shape. The actual doors appear to be at B3, C12, H1, and L4/5 (a double door) due to them being solid white, the interiors not changing color, and the molding near them compressing inward.
As a side note, having played and run a lot of Paizo written stuff, that's got to be one of the most confusing maps I've seen in terms of figuring out what openings are what.
My stepson is here for the weekend, working on D20 to get the maps online.
Please check if you can join the hephaistos raising campaign on D20
You have to join it, but its free
Several things:
1. It's actually 10 rounds to a minute (6 seconds/round). This is relatively important because Air Bubble lasts 1 minute/level meaning that at minimum caster level we have 4 more rounds to take actions prior to it expiring (and we have to worry about holding our breaths).
2. A small treasure chest weighs 25 lbs empty and is not explicitly stated to be waterproof - only that it is more resistant to water than a normal chest - and so would requires DM adjudication regarding how long it lasts before being considered soaked through.
3. Powder horns, however, are explicitly stated to be waterproof, and as such wouldn't need to be kept in a waterproof container.
4. Additional DM adjudication is required regarding how long various items can be submerged before they are considered soaked though and/or damaged by water. Specific items in question at this time are backpacks (standard and masterwork in case there is a difference), spell/formula books, torches, and firearms.
IF you look for something waterproof, val will give you a strange bag. I mean real wierd. It is of a strange bleached blue material with no seams. On top is a strange closing mechanism and there are 2 straps with 2 clips and the vendor explains that you can wrap the top twice and then clip it shut. It is quite small but big enough for 4 books.
Size is 25cmx15cmx10cm. And if i do not get a word from okrin by tonight, i will restart recruitment.
Kimos will take the scouting position. He has decent stealth, perception, and armor. But he will want to get healed before going out sense he is the only one that took damage last encounter (I think). 3 damage is not much but at low levels you die easy. xD
Yeah, quick (i.e. magical) healing is probably going to be a bit of an issue for the first few levels.
Because Investigators 'cast' like Alchemists, it'll be level 3 (earliest he can get the Infusion discovery) before Raffinyaler can use any of his daily allotment of extracts on others. Tamoq, our other option for magical healing, doesn't know any cure spells at this time and, because he's a spontaneous caster, won't be able to know any until he levels.
On the plus side however, because the spells are on our class lists both of us are capable of using wands without needing UMD checks so, as soon as we can afford it, a wand of cure light wounds would be a good investment for the party.
A strange medkit with a button if you push it on someone while he is injured it will inject some fluid in the patient = MW Medkit (+4) 8 Charges
Is this is a technological device? And, if so, will those of us without Technologist be able to use it?
This is a simple techbological device. An emergency medkit, designed to last forever and to work for everyone. A person with the technologist feat, able to speak andoffran and quite a few levels of heal skill.....
I thought I had made it clear that the kit works for everyone as noted. Just for a trained medic it might work better.
I say we just go to the temple.
Agreed, let's keep the game moving during recruitment. Temple sounds good.
I will add asap
K, as a bit of an introduction, Elasbeth is designed as a more support based spell caster. She will focus mostly on buffing/area control, with the addition of some electrical and maybe acid damage. Due to her archetype she also will have the ability to be a packet healer when necessary. She is fascinated by technology and has a great interest in those items that can be used to heal or aid others.
As far as posting, I usually can post a fair bit in a day, mostly in the afternoon/evening. So I can fairly easily keep up with everyone.
If there is anything else I need to do to get started let me know.
Welcome Elasbeth. :)
Thank you both.
Welcome Elasbeth!
The tavern we're in right now is closed to the public (at the moment), so until Helikon calls how you joined us I'm kinda going to ignore that you're there rather than react to the fact that you semi-suddenly showed up in the closed bar we're using as a temporary base of operations.
Whoops, did not catch that, sorry.
That's totally fine with me actually as you being there works for a good potential hook to bring you in - Okrin has decided not to come with us and brought you in to replace him as someone familiar with technology. But, as I said, how you join us is Helikon's call.
As a long time resident of Torch, I can say it pretty much only happens on Tuesdays. And since Golarion's calendar doesn't actually have a day called Tuesday, it's obviously a rare occurrence.
Eastern. And I will let you know if it happens.
Sorry lightrod=sunrod. Was with my inlaws and didn´t have all books with me
No biggie, it happens.
It sounds like they function as sun rods but just have a longer distance to the light they shed.
