Kingmaker: Conquest of the Stolen Lands (Inactive)

Game Master Aqua-Thor

Morning
What a fight. Haha

After this chaotic fight, those chosen should start at level 2 =^^=

Two rounds with the bard buff and Iavas's personal debuff. Poor beasts, they should have never tried to fight a devout of Lady Luck. The dices, the dices.

I like this, I shall support this. It's but logical.

Actually, after 10 rounds the darkness would be gone. =^^= and she cast it in round 2. so round eleven it would be gone

Loved this set up, outcome was a bit of a disappointment, damn dice.

I switched domain from Liberation to subdomain Freedom. Changes domain spell available and domain power.

I had actually planned this earlier, but hadn't changed it yet. Hope it's still OK. It is not a major issue for me, I can keep the basic domain if the change is not allowed.

Glad noone died

@GM

Any chance someone would rescue Veronica out there?

Zartana and Iavas already killed the beasts attacking Veronica. She might still be bleeding.

Any chance someone would rescue Veronica out there?

Well, I tried! :D

You are at 1, I think.

I still have 1 CLW left if anyone needs one.

@Ivavas
Never had time to come up in gameplay but go team Desna! ^_^

@Group
This was the first play-by-post combat I've done. I'm curious, what sort of style does everyone think to be the most effective (or what docuucprefer) for doing PbP combats? Specifically considering ease of reading, flavor/fun, and time to write it.

Usually the GM posts his actions and the story outcome of the actions of the Players. So its a back and forth game till combat ends =^^=
Players dont know the stats or if their attacks/manuvers hit. So they guess. :P

*nods head* makes sense

Not a problem. I won't expect final characters until after the party is declared.

@GM
That was a new experience. But fun. Thanks

Am I too late to throw my, ahem, hat, into the ring?

Not to late at all. You have until about 11 to midnight Central time to complete the requirements.

So 6am/7am thursday morning for me :P

Morning all, not completely awake yet but grabbing my morning coffee and will be so soon.

...

Though I do admit, its strange to be the one reading about the Alchemist blowing themselves up, rather then BEING the alchemist who blows himself up. Heh, D'ahia was a fun one for me to read and I think Jamahzin would be jealous that someone almost took his "Shoulda burned the place down" as a recommendation, even if it was just blowing up parts of it instead.

If it wouldn't add more to the confusion, I'd want Norvallen trying to do something still to try to help. Though admittedly he wouldn't take a fool-hardy charge into another mess, injured as he is, but he does have his 'batons'(Read Lungchuan tamo) and a crossbow.

Definitely a fun read through all the scenes, to see how people fared and reacted.

I REALLY should have lit the tavern on fire.

Alright, I couldn't help myself after all. Especially after Zartana called out after missing as she did.

Though honestly, I thought those little things were going to miss.

DM. Does my application look good to go?

Man that looked weird, seeing afrikaans in a rp thread... haha.

Heh. You mentioned it a while back here in discussion. I find it useful to have something said, no matter how badly, when using a language others may not understand in character. Just for keeping actions with words together easier.

Though I AM throwing the corrected sentences back into the Google Translate as corrections, just post them here in discussion rather then gameplay.

My bad. Wrong thread opened. =^^=
But will help with translates

@Thirrion

You'll want to check this post.

So you want those two rounds of chaos and panic as you rush towards the tavern and get face to face to those things trying to bite your legs off.

Nevermind. My mistake. Don't know how the heck I missed over yours when reading this morning.

@Thirrion No, but you will want to show your work in your character sheet. Explain what all of your traits and feats do and give a break down of how your skills have the given bonuses. That sort of thing.

on that note, do you think mine are clear enough?

Wouldn't hurt to further explain how the attack & damage bonuses and saving throws get their modifiers from. Skills usually benefit from being shown well, if only to show where the Ranks are and how many you have spent and where.
Not sure if I understand Dragon Form here well, but I don't have the source book for "Spheres of Power" either, so no clue.

... Personally, I'm going to have to steal the "Goals" from yours and possibly a "People" subtopic I saw someone else have to separate the plot-hooks for the DM to easily pick from rather then just the background, to give myself a better chance at being picked.

I agree with Norvallen. You can't be too careful. I'd make sure the GM can easily figure out precisely from where everything is coming. I'd describe the effects of any feats or traits you have and (I was extra picky myself) exactly from where they come.

In my case, for example, I have six feats at level 1. At first that sounds ludacris, but then you read that one is my level 1 feat, another is the bonus feat he gave us, then Skill Focus for being half-elf, then a bonus monk feat, weapon finesse for being a rogue, and finally stunning fist for being a monk.

It helps, I think, to point out where I got all of those so that the GM isn't just like "why the heck does this person have six feats?"

@ dragon form, it's one of the forms(the only one) that i have from the alteration sphere. I'll fix the rest when i get home.

I finally decided what her second bg skill will be. Perform skill :) dance

Well damn, I can't go back & edit my combat post now... guess that's what I get for not being as well-versed in these boards & posting at 3am just before a forced computer restart.

Just the backstory & general ability descriptions left to flesh out D'ahia's application.

@Thirrion
You'll need to scale your gear back significantly. If you recheck the Recruitment board you'll see we have 200gp starting, a map, and 1 non-noble outfit (as well as any class-granted starting items).

Masterwork items are outside your budget, as are firearms, and
you can maybe afford 1/4 of the items on your crafted item list (even at reduced crafting cost).

@Atamar & Group on PbP formatting
I copied Jonathan Haykes' formatting, as it appealed to me most. I like the idea of a flowing narrative, obviously based on the mechanics, but with the mechanics hidden on the side to allow the narrative to flow.

why not Lore(Orlovsky)?

also considering everyone who isn't going to be chosen is going to be eaten alive, the conversation about eating them is kind of awkward. XD

Both will fit. But i think dancing will help pass the time. Then just sitting back and learning the family.

Well... according to her, they can be edible :P

I was using a refluffed rich parents trait. I may have missed if this was banned.

oh, you're a machine smith, hmm, i wrote up a 1/2 caster version of the machinesmith a few weeks ago. seems like a good class, haven't seen it in action though.

@Atmar, NP! Headed to bed, I tried to get a feel for what's going on, but I kinda expect that the guards will step in on round 3ish, and that may render much of pre-planning moot, which is why I didn't go past 2 rounds, even though I didn't kill anything yet.

Oh I was waiting for someone to ask. The guards are dead. Lasted less time than some of you guys. The kid with the hammer is still around but in no shape to help any of you. He's got his hands full keeping Lord Alystair alive.

just bringing this up for anyone currently RPing, i'll start RPing in a little bit (2 or 3 hours), but the battle definitely shouldn't be over, i remember him saying that those who are not chosen will be killed here.

I was using rich parents, however you are right in that my alchemical items were off, I had been debating on whether I wanted some of them or not and forgot to delete them out in my hurry.

Wave one could be over. Wave two kills those not chosen.

DM. Does my application look good to go?

Curious where the pistol came from. Free outfit, free map, that is all. Also, please link machinesmithin the profile and tell me where it is from.

Thanks.

That is where an escape plan comes in handy.

Such as a Crossbow with a Grappling Bolt + Silk Rope loaded into it (Get up high!), a Mount spell ready (Run!), and even some Lamp Oil to set something on fire (Burn it to the ground!).

Levitate also works. Haha

Well. Of to bed. Good day people

since you're here can you look to see if mine is good? I won't be home for a while but that way i can know exactly what to edit when i get back.

edit: also i have the pioneer trait, but didn't think i'd have a horse, maybe i can get a free horse, if i'm chosen, from one of the people who died?

True, but the Crossbow and Grappling Bolt also allows dramatic swings that levitate can't pull off, so it wins. Only a whip could make things look better, but it can only reach so far.

I can levitate and still use my bow ;)

Finally updated my equipment, had to go back and recalculate it.

Had 1 GP and 5 SP to spare (that darn horse was expensive!)
