I'm prodding this forward; we can pick up a healer when one accepts :)
Yeah, agree with Vorsirion there.
Surely it's +2 strength, a magical +2 longbow would cost 8400 GP.
It's +2 Strength. The nomenclature for the strength bonus is one of the weirdest thing of 3.x :P
Here be fightin' music :)
So far, attempting to recruit a healer has been a bit of a bust. If anyone has someone they'd like to nominate, PM me their username or profile link and I'll check them out.
Additionally, is everyone still around? I know things have been a bit slow leading up to the next combat, but it's seemed like it's just been a couple people posting. I've been crazy busy setting up for a Destination Imagination State tournament tomorrow so I haven't been posting as much as I'd like, but I've also been leaving time for people to respond.
Assuming everyone is still in, the battle for Thorn River begins Monday!
I can run a second character, if need be.
I'm still around, though I've been extremly busy lately, combined with being a bit sick among other problems I haven't had much time or energy to post. I'm sorry. I'll try to keep the pace going forward.
Vasilyan said he would be busy until the 12th.
I would much prefer if a separate person played the divine character. I don't think starting a thread looking for a replacement would be such a bad thing. I'll see if I can find some candidates for you.

I'd also prefer another new player. What if we put things on hold for a week, and you could open up your original recruitment thread for a divine caster. I'm sure a lot of the people who initially expressed interest would still want in. We would then get Vasilyan back, and we won't get too far without our new player.
Just an idea.
That sounds good, actually.
Ok, now that literally thousands of paper clips, straws, rubber bands, and the like have been counted, used, and stored away, I'm back! I'll try contacting one more person from the original process, and if that doesn't work, I'll re-open the Recruitment thread. In the meantime, if Vasilyn is back before we have a cleric, there's an NPC cleric that's actually plot relevant I can use.
Does waiting for the 12th to start the combat sound good?
Sure... Raven knows that ass-kickery should only be saved for when ass-kickery is appropriate.
She's smart like that :P
I'm back guys, I will read all the posts I missed and post today myself!
Welcome back!
So, after combing through submissions and contacting a few people we still don't have a replacement cleric. I'll open a Recruitment unless someone has a nomination they'd put forth.
Oddly enough, a lot of people haven't posted again this year :P
I can "GM NPC" Alexai just to keep things rolling for the time being.
Yeah, that works.
BTW, for the next month or so, my posting will be inconsistent. I (hopefully) won't disappear entirely, but I'll only be able to post once a day at most.
What about contacting This person who was in a kingmaker game that died right of the bat and is looking to resurrect their game... I haven't really checked the sheet/player though.
Quick update: I managed to injure one of my eyes (I'll spare the details.) Plus side I went to the doctor and no long term damage. Downside my night is pretty shot. I'll have a double length update tomorrow!
I'll check out NenkotaMoon some more tomorrow as well.
Hey guys, sorry for lagging behind but I got a new job after my PhD and now I need to carefully reduce the number of games I play in. Unfortunately, this being the most recent one, is the one I have to cut first. I'm sad about it, because I really appreciate Wolfspirit GMing style, but I've realized that I would be completely unable to post consinstently, especially now that I've lost all of the hype. The GM is great, the party is great as well. The only thing I regret is that during the time passed from the original recruitment and the start of this campaign, I almost completely lost my hype and wasn't able to regain it.
With that said, I hope you'll have tons of fun in this campaign. GM, if you could mark me as inactive, it would be excellent.
Thank you again for the roleplay we shared, it was amazing!
Sorry to see you go, Vasilyan. I completely understand the need to balance work / life balance. Well, for the rest that remain, I'll leave it to you guys. Up / Down, would you like me to open a Recruitment thread before we continue? We're getting a bit sparse to GM NPC. I'll open up the thread if that's the way we go.
I also understand if people have lost faith in the game and no longer wish to continue :/

My personal preference would be to open recruitment back up and get this back to full-strength. I'm really enjoying the campaign, and find it tragic that we had so many players over-commit. I don't think it is a reflection of the campaign.
Anyway, I prefer that we put things on hold for a bit and find some fresh blood. Still having a great time, but we just need some more consistent players. :)
I've wanted to play through kingmaker for a long time. That haven't changed. Recruit 1-3 more players and we can continue. Not sure they'll fit in story-wise though...
Elvara spends her surprise round starting to cast enlarge person while Smexy moves forward, though if we are pausing it might not matter much.
Yeah, I'm definitely still in. I also think that we should recruit a few more players. However, I do have one caveat: we should probably finish this fight beforehand. That way, we can go back to the trading post and do some roleplay there while we get other people to join up. How does that sound?
I'm fine with either playing this out without the others or having them be botted.
Ok, I'll bot people for now, to get things moving on. With one person I had a way of introducing people. Two people might be a stretch.
Did you start up a recruitment, or did you find players elsewhere? It'll take a while for people to get their apps together... It would be nice to have them ready by the time we are done with this fight.
Hopefully we'll be able to survive this fight... The bandits hit hard. Where is Alexei in the initiative? Some healing for Raven would probably be hot.
Yeah, that hurt :P
As for recruitment, I think the reason for waiting is that while people are getting their apps together, we can RP and develop our characters at Oleg's. Freeform RP is a rare opportunity in PbP, and only generally happens when the GM is on hiatus and we're at a good place to stop, or in a situation like this.
Alexai is after the bandits. He's been double moving to keep up with Raven. He's close at least!
I've got a recruitment post I've been working on, but haven't posted yet. I'll probably put it up today, though Weekends tend to be light for responses.
As I mentioned earlier I might be willing to switch over to spirit summoner (life) if we are totally unable to find a healer...
It's kinda unfortunate that there are two other kingmaker games looking for replacements atm (and all are ofc looking for healers).
Was the starting gold really 1000 GP? Because then I got a ton of gold left over. I didn't spend much of it...
It was 150. Bumping up to 1000 for people that will be starting at level 2
In case Raven's behavior seems inconsistent, let me shed some light upon it:
Raven, unlike a lot of fighters, doesn't give in to bloodlust whenever she fights. She detaches herself from the fight, looks at things logically, rationally. That's what makes her a competent soldier, and not a warrior.
She also sees the value of varying tactics for situations. She wanted to scare the bandits off initially, so she suggested terror tactics. At the camp, she sees Kressle as a competent leader and a valuable asset, and if she can gain her loyalty, they can increase the security of the fort and increase the party's presence in the Stolen Lands by having a loyal group of soldiers that knows the way around the Greenbelt.
Aaaand that is why Raven is not good-aligned.
Elvara might have wanted to react after the first one, though she would want to see Kressle's response before that. She's still of the opinion that people should be saved if they repent and do only good. Though she probably won't be wanting to save Kressle no matter what she replies.
Hey, Wolfspirit, ya still there?
I'm here! Had a presentation to give this afternoon. So are you going to head back to Oleg's now?
I've started to go through the applications.

Nice. I'm excited to get some more players. Might I suggest that as long as you are recruiting, it might not be the worst idea to have a "spare" in case we have more attrition?
You had implied we might be leveling up after that battle. Are there any special rules involved with that? Training or what not?
Sorry if that was confusing. Operating on zero sleep.

There are not special rules. Just level like normal.
I'm going through the applicants now, but you guys have a bit of time to RP as desired. Right now things were left for the group discussing away from the captives, so not much for me to add.
