hey Dathom, we are gearing up to go in the MOTFF game if you are in I need to see a pc.

Just looking over our Perception scores to see if anything has changed significantly with level-up (and if I got it right with that +12 modifier I used in my last post).
So far, I'm seeing;
Servayn – Perception 1 (+5)
*Ember – Perception 2 (+5)
Garick – Perception 2 (+6)
Corso - Perception 2 (+5)
Lukasz – Perception 2 (+2) +3 more for sight-based and opposed Perception checks in daylight conditions, +2 more if familiar is in arm’s reach (free Alertness feat)
*Swiftbreeze – Perception 2 (+15), uses masters ranks in skill
Kalsgrim – Perceptio 0 (+0)
Janku – Perception 0 (+3)
Ox – Perception 0 (+0)
*Noir - Perception 1 (+5)
So, if I'm getting a +2 to the check for each PC with at least 1 rank in Perception (not counting critters), I probably should have done 1d20+13 instead of +12.
+13 looks right.
arg!, I totally forgot about perception. well I guess it is best that I don't worry about the mapping and looking around anyhow, you guys just point out what ever I need to attack(or attempt to)

If the combat hadn't ended when it had with the bear, you might have seen some sweet, sweet damage coming out of that Precise Strike feat you'd lent out. Kal and Janku were flanking, and Servayn was behind Kal using his longspear, also counting as flanking opposite Janku, so that was a potential +3d6 of damage from Precise Strike.
I'd also gotten Ember and the celestial eagle on opposite sides, flanking, for another possible 6d6 extra damage from Precise Strike.
It might have not been Ox doing the damage, but it would have been many, many potential dice of damage that wouldn't have been possible without Ox's ability to share that feat with his allies.
lol,ooc I am absolutely good with how it went down, Ic Ox is preetty sour, I think it is just pride, he went it yelling at the thing and it ran him over and(thankfully) moved on.
I am happy about it, I just think, he was tuaght a valuable lesson in tactics. if you have time to do the tacktics before hand, do so.
Gorum is the big second deity in this AP but his influence doesn't start to show until book 4. When it does...it'll be interesting, lol.
yeah, i thought it was pretty neat that we picked up both of the main theme deities of the ap in our group. I haven't read anything exstensive but the threads that are pre release speculation are fun to read.
Wow, sorry Scipion, I was in a rush when I posted and didn't realise I was in the IC thread. My post about being unavailable was meant for the OC thread. Sorry.
That's alright. I still saw it ^^
thats a lot of bare ass between you two.
Yikes, the game you are starting completely slipped my mind. Looking at my schedule, i don't think I should risk getting into another game, even if it is with great RPers. All the best for you future endeavor, but I won't be able to join.
okie dok, thanks for the heads up and no worries, after this mod is done, I might come back and see if you guys are free schedule wise. but looks like we are ready to go.
that darn pesky elf! I threw em out on is tail.
Later that night while Ox repacks his backpack. "Oh hey, potion of comprehend language."
We could make a crazy sleep schedule or I can just pick two random people for night time encounters now.
I vote for a crazy sleep schedule. One that takes into account the phases of the moon and the passage of clouds overhead. At least until Ox gets the Leadership feat; then we'll have an army of critters and kobolds to keep watch for us.
Setting up the Kingdom for book 2 is gonna be interesting.
Kingdom Alignment: Lawful Neutral Chaotic Neutral Good
I think I'll make a new alias to keep track of that information...

Clearly it will be Lawful Good.
Perhaps with Chaotic Evil tendencies.
EDIT: Looking at our composition, we have 3 CG, 1 CN, 1 CG, 1 NG, 1 LG. And with the way the religious elements of our team are heating up, it may end up having to be lead by someone who is theologically neutral.
Lookin' like Chaotic Good to me :P
-Things that are cool about PbP's-
I like being able to whip up these nice little maps even for encounters which may or may not have combat. At a table you know if the GM starts drawing something odds are there's going to be a fight, lol.
I also love being able to look into all the weird rules I don't use frequently, without fear of slowing the game down. Like that bear using overrun :)

And I am starting to think that Ox may actually be the best candidate for our ruler in this little venture. Decent charisma and balanced between the forces in our group that are at odds.
All hail King Ox!
If Ox becomes king, does that mean he will be a self-serving cavalier?
King Ox the Lion
Also you guys are cracking me up with the hot springs.

Well at least he never would worry about losing his cavalier order abilities, because if the liege he serves dies, that means he would be dead!
Did you know there's actually some species of bony fish that live in California hot springs where it reaches 120 degrees?
...and that all adventurers are contractually obliged to investigate "shiny things."

Also, we are required to treat the most mundane things that the DM mentions as though they may conceal the dark gods themselves.
DM: As you stroll through the woods, a bunny skips across the trail, disappearing quickly into the brush on the other side.
Wizard: Fireball!
Cleric: I cast every buffing spell known to man on the barbarian!
Barbarian: I engulf myself in a raging battle lust, charging after it.
DM: *Buries head in his hands.*
Oh noes! Boy will Garick be surprised when he comes back from his search for shinies...right? Garick...has anyone seen Garick? *checks watch* Uh oh...
*sigh* Proper paranoid adventurer protocol would have been to tie a rope to him, jerking him to the surface every round to make sure he was still with us...
Must be the same one that rolled through here yesterday. We didn't get much rain but it thundered.

Don't worry brother, I'll be in the soup in but a moment.
Actually they have an order, called the cockatrice, when you are dedicated to your own glory. I have a halfling Cavalier that is a pompous little arrogant cockatrice
and as far as being the King, only if Kal told me too, and really I don't wanna
of course, I get a 20 on a save > _ < nooo couldn't be an attack, lol!
ummmmm, mister Dm sir, I think we'd prefer it saved opposed to crit one of us.
But you never get crits on natural attacks. : (
"I told you. We're an anarcho-syndicalist commune. We take it in turns to sort of act as a sort of executive officer for the week."
Absolutely feel free to read the spoilers of other people in combat. Not a big deal at all. I think people started spoilering them just to make it look nice and maybe be surprised later on.
If you want to change your actions based on what someone else did, feel free to post that here in OOC without any rolls and I'll adjust your previous post based on that. ie "instead of grabbing my bow and shooting I would like to try and flank the frog and stab."
OK, some clarification here: I usually look at the other posters spoilered attack sequence after I posted myself.
But shouldn't we read the ones that acted before us before deciding what to do?
Also, since the monsters attack will influence our own attacks, should we split into
-before the bad guys
-the bad guys
-after the bad guysas a posting sequence? It will slow things down a bit, but some fights are harder on the strategy. For example, had I known Servayn cast Mage armor on me, I might have jumped back, looking for a flanking partner.
Food for thoughts.
FWIW Mage armor only increases you AC by 1, as like bonus's don't stack, and you already have Armor bonus of +3 from you armor.

Oh yeah! sorry, I need to pay more attention to whatever other people are doing...;-).
I generally feel free to read spoilers unless they are addressed to someone in particular. I assume the spoiler was used to keep things from getting too cluttered on the thread. And when I post a low initiative action, I usually make my actions conditional on others. Like my round 2 post for Kal. Shooting a frog that's attacking someone injured. A lot can change in our round when you are at the bottom of the initiative.
