Welcome!
I'll set up the gameplay and campaign threads tomorrow and we'll start. For now, create an alias and fill the header so that important information, like HP, AC, Saves and other was easy to see.
Checking in!
Checking in as well.
`allo, `allo, `allo!
Thanks for selecting me... here's to having a fun game all...
Is this all of our players or is there still the player with the guaranteed spot?
Just realized I never bought gear... I better get that done...
This is Sau're!K's animal companion...
He's an herbivore... whose big move is hitting you with the top of his head.
Hello to everyone. Very happy to have been picked.
Is this all of our players or is there still the player with the guaranteed spot?
There are five players. But you have probably guessed it already, since Trem checked in.
Everyone - The gameplay thread is up, feel free to start socializing.
I think I'm player number five, aren't I?
Signed, Vistruþ
Yes you are. But Trem checked in last.
Will post later today or tomorrow, if you want to talk more.
It's cool now.
My alias was slow to appear in the characters/players tabs.
I probably just didn't wait long enough (coffee time!).
That resolved fast. I guess it's nice to have a pet dinosaur. :)
Yay, dino pets!
I like this group. We seem to have a good compliment of abilities and skills.

The campaign tab is updated. The map now has numbers, and the spoiler has locations. I'll update the locations as you visit them.
The campaign tab is updated. I'll update the map as you find new locations.
I'll be taking the average of your initiative and groups of enemies. Inside the group there is no specific order, so you can decide in which order to take actions.
What do you think about such system?
Also, I took the liberty of rolling saves for Ansado. Would you all mind if I continue to roll saves for you?
One more thing. Do you prefer to be able to move tokens on the map, or theater of the mind is okay with you?
My thoughts on your questions.
1. I like things that speed play up. So the more rolls the GM makes such as initiatives and saves the better. I like the idea of letting players post actions in any order simply because there is a little less waiting for people to post. This is also why it is good to group players and Npc's as much as possible.
2. When it comes to maps I like being able to move tokens and the like. I have one game on the forums where we use Google slides and the players have even set up a couple slides for our notes, such as notable npc's and a loot tracking list.
I don't mind for the initiative and the saves.
For the map, it depend on how you treat with attack of opportunity and reach. I just want to prevent argument during a combat because we were not all on the same page on there where everyone was.
Like right now, I don't have a clear picture of where is everyone. What distance is the main group from the fort. I know Visruþ kept a 20 ft distance from Ansado, but where is Ansado? Can we still see him or is he in the courtyard behind the walls.
I see. I'm not really that good with all this stuff, but here's google slides thingy. Also, spreadsheet just in case.
Trem, I leave adding Sarari token for you.
1. Average initiatives is fine; speeds things up a bit on PbP
2. You making the saves for us is fine by me
3. the map thing on Google Slides works just fine
The one advantage of Google Slides is that you you can keep adding new slides/maps.
That way you have a map history for everyone to see.
Not essential, but it is cool.

Done
Initiative, saves, and map are all fine.
Just testing something, never mind me.
My laptop's hdd developed some bad sectors, so I'm trying to revive it, before buying a new one as the last resort. I'm not sure when I'll be able to post. Sorry, guys.
That sort of thing is always annoying! :P
So, it's time to summarize everything.
Some Song'o spears
1 Song'o dagger
Armory:
5 short swords
3 longswords
4 light crossbows
2 heavy crossbows
60 bolts (1 is taken by Trem)
4 suits of leather armor
2 suits of studded leather armor (1 is taken by Trem)
4 heavy wooden shields
1 masterwork breastplate
Crate with a note from Vethorn Valgardson:
4 short swords
4 longswords
150 crossbow bolts
Wooden Trunk with healing supplies:
1 Healer’s kit
2 bottles of antiplague
2 bottles of antitoxin
4 bottles of bloodblock
2 sunrods
Bandages, wood alcohol, needles, thread, splints, and herbal tinctures
Package of herbs with a note addressed to Quin to drop them off with Heri.
Food supplies in the storage room.
Chest with construction supplies of excellent qualitity- nails, rope, pulleys, hammers, saws, and chains.
Masterwork studded leather armor, masterwork silver dagger and 126 sp from the body you found in the room with the spider. (If you take his belongings.)
100 gp from the stash behind the painting.
The lockbox:
112 gp
Silver holy symbol of Erastil
Silver flatware setting
3 bottles of acid
2 tanglefoot bags
1 Thunderstone
The shattered gates.
The Song’o spears was stabbed into one of the bodies in the courtyard afer the man died.
One of the bodies in the courtyard has a symbol of Abadar.
The fatal injuries to the animals in the pen were caused by claw wounds, roughly the size of a humanoid hand, and that the most useful chunks of meat were cut free with a knife. Bites from the dinosaurs are more recent.
The woman in one of the rooms bears puncture wounds, and was killed with a spear. All the wounds were delivered from above, as if she were stabbed by someone her height or taller.
A single human-sized footprint with clawed toes left in the victim’s blood on a piece of scattered paperwork.
One of the rooms is haunted. It compels anyone inside to stab themsleves with a bolt.
A note supposedly from Cahshil tribe, written in Common. Muhdzuzi says that only their tribe leader Zaahku can write in Common and her hadwriting is much different.
The impaling of the bodies in one of the rooms occurred after death.
You found a scaly, green hand in one of the rooms.
Zooif - she saw lizardfolk about a week ago. They were leaving the fort with Song'o bodies.
Muhdzuzi - he and six of his tribesmen stumbled upon the lizardfolk while hunting, tried to warn the fort, failed, got attacked.
Cool!
Thanks for that.
... Been about two weeks since Ansado's last post...
Sent him a PM. We'll know in 24 hours if he's still playing.
I'm still here, Irl has been busy, but things are getting back to normal, and my posts should be back to normal by the end of the week, although I will be able to post some before then.

Special Qualities:
Woodland Stride (Ex): Starting at 2nd level, a druid may move through any sort of undergrowth (such as natural thorns, briars, overgrown areas, and similar terrain) at her normal speed and without taking damage or suffering any other impairment. Thorns, briars, and overgrown areas that have been magically manipulated to impede motion, however, still affect her.
Totem Transformation (Su): At 2nd level, a saurian shaman may adopt an aspect of the saurian while retaining her normal form. This ability functions as the dragon shaman’s totem transformation ability, but the druid may select from the following bonuses:
•Movement (+10 enhancement bonus to land speed)
•Scales (+2 natural armor bonus to AC)
•Senses (low-light vision, scent)
•Natural weapons (bite [1d6], 2 claws [1d4] for a Medium druid, rake, +2 CMB to grapple)
While using totem transformation, a saurian shaman may speak normally and can cast speak with animals (reptiles and dinosaurs only) at will.
Level 2 changes
Hit-points +6 (5+ 1 con)
BAB +1
Saves +1 will
Skills:
+1 Perception +3 trained
Feats :
Power Attack: You can choose to take a –1 penalty on all melee attack rolls and combat maneuver checks to gain a +2 bonus on all melee damage rolls. This bonus to damage is increased by half (+50%) if you are making an attack with a two-handed weapon, a one handed weapon using two hands, or a primary natural weapon that adds 1-1/2 times your Strength modifier on damage rolls. This bonus to damage is halved (–50%) if you are making an attack with an off-hand weapon or secondary natural weapon.
Tricks:
Maneuver(Bull Rush) (DC 20): The animal is trained to use a specific combat maneuver on command. An animal must know the attack trick before it can be taught the maneuver trick, and it only performs maneuvers against targets it would normally attack. This trick can be taught to an animal multiple times. Each time it is taught, the animal can be commanded to use a different combat maneuver.
Going to be a busy day today so will update actual profiles tomorrow or late tonight. I'll do the math's for any roles made today.
Spells for today:
0th: Create Water, Detect Magic, Guidance, Purify Food and Water
1st: Cure Light, Good Berry, Ant Haul

Does anyone want any of this?
Armor
Masterwork studded leather armor (Nice upgrade for Ansado or Visrub)
4 suits of leather armor
2 suits of studded leather armor
4 heavy wooden shields
1 masterwork breastplate (Nice upgrade for Sulia)
Weapons
5 short swords
3 longswords
4 light crossbows
2 heavy crossbows
60 crossbow bolts (Sulia or Visrub may want a crossbow each?)
Thanks for pointing those out out!
I'll put a claim on the MW studded leather armour
And a light crossbow, with 10 bolts
Yeah I could use a light crossbow and 20 bolts, please! I don't have much ranged attack options.
Sulia take the Masterwork Breast plate too. Both the AC and Armor Check penalty are better for you.
Both of you take 30 bolts... makes no sense to sell them... worth so little.
And Sau're'!K will take a Heavy wooden shield as well.
I assume we can add Sulia's Scale mail and Visrub's armor to the pile of stuff to be traded in? If so our trade list looks like this.
5 suits of leather armor (10 gp each)
2 suits of studded leather armor (25 gp each)
3 heavy wooden shields (7 gp each)
1 Scale mail (50 gp)
5 short swords (10 gp each)
3 longswords (15 gp each)
2 light crossbows (35 gp each)
2 heavy crossbows (50 gp each)
Total Value of Goods...450 gp
Trade in value 225 gp...
So, Ansado is out.
Question for you guys - do we need another player, or 4 is fine?
Personally, I always like the 5 man team. It allows to have a more diverse group than the traditional Fighter/Cleric/Rogue/Wizard team.
So, Ansado is out.
Question for you guys - do we need another player, or 4 is fine?
Shame.
I'm fine with four or five players.
I overlooked that! I'll take that too. :D We can add my scale mail to the sale pot.
I'm okay with what we have. However, if everyone else thinks we need another player I'm okay with that.
All 4 players we have seem pretty active as far as posting goes. With the Addition of Sarai and Re'!k'th we have a body count of 6 which I think makes us pretty well equipped to deal with most encounters.
Although I wouldn't complain if someone showed up who was capable of opening locks and disabling traps... Just saying...
Sarari and Re'!k'th have been good at opening doors lately.
Provided we're not worried about those "quiet" and "finesse" things.
Seriously, though I agree with Sau're'!K.
While we can make do with four, having a lock picker wouldn't hurt either.
Alrighty then. I'll make a recruitment post on the weekend for a lockpicker/trapfinder.
