Here is the thread for Team "Eggs" only OOC discussions
Checking in. I will make those changes soon and post them here.
Checking in. Added background, personality and description to my alias.
Thanks for checking in.
To both of you, and not only you, it could be useful if you report yours updated backgrounds/descriptions on the main campaign thread of Gameplay, so the others could know it when the 2 teams will be together.
Checking in, finishing up background.
Done with the background. Tell me what you think.
*Edit Almost forgot. Wanted to ask about 2 things. Can I get a different second level bonus spell from oracle since I get the same one from burning hands curse? Something fire related? Suggestions: Burning disarm, Flare Burst, Endure Elements, or summon monster (fire subtype only). And something to replace the 8th level wall of fire since that too is granted by blackened.
The second thing is the blackened curse says "Your hands and forearms are shriveled and blackened, as if you had plunged your arms into a blazing fire, and your thin, papery skin is sensitive to the touch." Thus the -4 on attack rolls. If I take Tail Terror and a kobold tail attachment can I use my tail and not take the -4? Its the only weapon I would use and I can't get it till level 3 at least.
Checking in.
I exist.
This is turning into an interesting group.
I love the feel kobold campaigns have. And all you fellas seem like chill dudes.
Fyrenmar is not "chill" he is hot Hot HOT.
Just a heads up. Wife had an emergency c-section today. Everything ok so far will probably be away for a couple days.
@ Szzlax: Wishing all of your family the best!
We gonna put this on hold till things calm down or move on as best we can? I don't have a preference. Hope things turn out well on your end Szzlax or whatever your real name is. Seems weirder to call you by your kobold name.
What's the time of day right now in game?
About the game, while Szzlax will be absent I'm slowing the things a little, but not too much to don't penalize the others players.
About the IC time of the day, it's mid afternoon right now, the eggs been stolen in the early morning.
Come on guys the other team is ahead of us. Can't let them get all the glory for Sootscale.
Actually, the other team is playing during another time table (the night before your arrival at the Lair), that was a way to avoid Team River finish his first "quest" and stole the "eggs' quest" to team eggs :)
For everyone's benefit I singled out Oozula and Yik Klik because they are the only ones on the team with light sensitivity. I assume we all know a little bit about each other after a boring patrol.
Of course you are all familiar with the rest of the team for having patrolled a few days together, and not only with them, for having spent at least some months or years together in the same tribe.
About the number of stolen eggs, the answer is 42 (of course).
A Kobold egg measures from 3 to 4 inch, so they have had no problem in transporting all of them in some bags.
Sorry to put so much on a guy currently having RL difficulties. I wonder if he'll mind if we roll survival and stealth for him.
First chance to really get on and update. Looks like my wife can go home tomorrow, baby is still in NICU, probably through the week if not next week as well. So might not be able to post quite as many times daily, but will likely be able to start posting at least once a day again starting Mon
Feel free to bot me until then.
Yes sorry about my slow post rate, busy busy week and weekend!
He made the covering up of eyes comment because Yik Klik and Oozula both have light sensitivity. It was part insult but mostly preparation for going out in the sun.
Alright, back at home today. I should be back to some more regular posting (at least once a day) while we wait for the baby to come home from the hospital.
Welcome back Szzlax! Hope is everything all right with the baby, and your wife too.
Ok, players, I think it's time for your first team fight now.
Oh boy. Hope I don't die immediately.
Every first level character's fear.
Some Game Masters on Paizo board keep updated a "Kingmaker Obituaries" thread, mostly to remind themselves how lethal the campaign could be... especially during the 1st level...
For those who are going to read that thread, warning, it's full of spoilers, even for our different kobold campaign I'm keeping some of the basic features/monster/encounter of the standard Kingmaker AP, so reading it could broke your future amusement.
Of course, if you have already played a KM campaign, you can probably read it without problems... and some of you can even find their former PC inside the obituaries too.
Because of sporadic Internet access, I'll leave my desired action in gaming thread. It will stay there, but if I see something special happening: party member drop to ground or Oozulla/Myrkky is attacked, I'll post new standart action part according to situation.
The next 2 days I'll be busy in a LARP event. I hope to be able to check the board sometimes, especially during evening, but I'm not sure of the internet access there.
On Friday, I'm leaving for Finnish annual Roleplay event, Ropecon. It will be 56 hours of non-stop fun and playing, so I will post a bit less.
I will be sitting on my bed eating cheetos waiting in rapt anticipation.
I will be sitting on my bed eating cheetos waiting in rapt anticipation.
Have a nice eating... but you know that in the Initiative is your turn now? :D
Enjoy the event, Oozulla! I'll officially post the effects of your last post when will be your turn in the Initiative. Anyway, I can anticipate you all that the sleeping human (H4) failed his fortitude save vs the CdG :)
Hopefully, H3 will drop uncontious in the woods as poison is killing him and we can later interrogate him. Before Yolp and Szzlax will eat him alive :)
Well, the increased DC for the poison (2 bites) is 11, and only 1 save is needed to cure, it's not so probable that you find H3 unconscious, unless he has a really bad luck in his save rolls.
Also, the poison does Con damage, and if your Con became 0 you are death, not unconscious... we shall see, how the dice will roll!
He has some non–lethal damage, so initially he will be uncontious :) an he should hope we find him fast enough. As well, I expect him to break his leg running through the woods in total darkness or hit a tree with a head.
Every time I read Yolp I think of THIS guy
AM FIGHTER
I kinda see Fyrenmar as just a tiny Red Dragon who's all burnt up. But that makes you look even spookier, which is really nice.
What about Do Not Split Party rule? Oozulla is not a fighter of any kind :) and basically her spell selection for today is not the best one.
But staying in character, I will never openly dispute the leader's words and will follow half-squad to find egg-stealer camp.
I don't get the stigma against splitting the group. I understand the mechanical difficulty of doing it. It takes more time, especially on the boards. You have to split loot and exp if the GM goes that way. And you reduce party fighting power. But if it seems like the logical choice in character then we should do it. A lot of times in my IRL group when splitting seems the appropriate choice players will fight it vehemently. And most of their arguments are for are out of character reasons not in character ones.
The split would only be long enough to see the eggs back to the cave, then we would join up again, hopefully before any fights. And I can't see us all going back to the cave when the mission isn't over.
As mine personal opinion:
I have nothing against splitting the party, especially for good IC reasons. As GM I use to reward the PCs for a good roleplaying instead of punishing them for reducing the party fighting power, but all must be done for good IC resons (like the one proposed by Fyrenmar).
Only be aware that I'll try to make all you regroup ASAP, using some IC/OOC expedients, 'cause the dangers your party can face in this campaign are balanced for a party of 4/5 PCs, and being 3 or 2 could be risky.
So, basically, splitting is a risk, but maybe bringing the eggs with you could be more risky, who can say it?
Roleplay it, and we shall see how thing will go :)
Have a nice game!
Yes splitting the party is dangerous simply because encounters are written for 4 or 5 PC's, when you are only 2-3 PC's you are in far greater danger.
My second thought: tracking means moving half-speed. We can start tracking, while others carry eggs back to layer and return. Guy said, their camp is 1 day walking = 2 days tracking. We leave marks, others follow us and we get to their camp about same time.
Excellent idea! We'll all meet up in all ~3 days then.
Some of my friends are taking me out for a night on the town, which basically means I'll be gone all weekend. It'll also be in Chicago, so I might die. Just a heads up.
I've updated my spell prepared list in an alias.
This one could be useful one day. Wise, intelligent, passive. A good combination.
This is exactly Oozulla's expectation: she is willing to be second in command - initiative, but not fighting for power. More dominate with respect, than through the fear, and not to be the one, who is in charge of everything and than might be blamed :)
