Looks good, JaceDK. Man, those are some nice stats!
Yeah -- you guys were nicer to the dice gods than I was, apparently. Some impressive numbers going on around here!
Penance is done in terms of raw mechanics. Still need to flesh out his backstory and appearance a touch. But beyond that he's good to go.
And away we go!
Just as a heads-up, I may not be able to post this coming Saturday. If I do, it'll be from my phone, so probably short. :)
Cool, our first fight! Let's see how it goes!
Cool, our first fight! Let's see how it goes!Seems to start with a crossbow bolt in my back. :(
Ouch...and I thought I was being so clever and sneaky in the dark!
We'll see what happens.
And no good way to return fire. Yeah this one's going to be a mess.

Actually, it was your shoulder; it came from in front of you! ;-)
Wow, neither Penance nor Serry can hit the broad side of a barn at the moment, never mind a mostly-in-the-dark crossbowman!

Well given it's rainy, windy, and dark i doubt penance would have hit even if he rolled a 19 and he knows it.
Uh oh...good round of rolling for me and the cleric is down! Getting tense the first fight...
Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to present - a classic Lucendar fight. I've lost count of how many times our Legacy of Fire group have found ourselves in situations like this one.
Well, seeing as Elric is now facing off three hobgoblins alone while wounded and prone, I'm feeling right at home.

You forgot the part where your archers are crippled and everyone's nearly blind.
Tark, Penance is up.
Geez, even my summoned creature can't hit... dice do not like me so far!
I keep forgetting crap about my own character. i.e. Point blank shot adding to the damage and having a FULL Bab while flurrying. Doesn't make any difference now though
Tark, PB shot did not apply; no hobgoblin within 30'.

That's assumign I was at K13 right?
The marine gets out of the mud. Now, don't roll too good on that AoO, Lucendar. Any hit and Elric takes a nap.

Oh, missed that. Thanks!

Wish granted..tide of battle may have turned!
Hobgoblin, meet Lucerne Hammer...

Least you get to sleep indoors tonight
EDIT: At least you didnt have to murder someone to sleep in for the night.
Since this is a kingdom-saving AP, in the spirit of such a grand plotline, I will be using Hero Points in this PbP (first time). There are a few differences between my HPs and the mechanic as listed in the Pathfinder_OGC online:
1. You do not start with 1 automatically
2. You do not gain 1 automatically when you level.
3. No HP-related feats allowed.
Other than that, the mechanic works the same as listed in the APG. You have to earn them with heroic behavior, great rping, etc..
And to start, Tristain, for venturing into the dark shadows all alone on a rainy stormy night, unaware of the dangers that awaited and rescuing the NPC, you receive a Hero Point.

WOO HOO!!!!

My apologies. Since you have everything in hand, Todor will refrain beating back those on your heels, including you in channels, and putting himself in situations where you might have to save him again. I'm not good after all and feel no obligation to help the clueless. 8-P

::Tristain points to the Hero Point Scoreboard::
"Scoreboard."

Indeed you are ahead on the "suicidal actions" chart. Congratulations.
Don't worry Penance will never judge you. :)

LOL.
Todor ponders Lionel's story . While he feels bad for the young princess, he is not exactly sure if this is any of his concern. "While I am sorry for your loss, I'm not sure if I would be of much use to you."
I haven't played a non-good/heroic character in a while. This is odd but fun. I think Todor will find himself to be a bit of an adrenaline junkie though to help compensate for the lack of a heroic motivation to dash into battle.

Not true...if there really was a "suicidal actions" scoreboard, Elric would surely be ahead for voluntarily lying down in the mud so the hobgoblins had a better chance of skewering him with their swords.
Btw, I'm GM'ing my RL Kingmaker campaign tonight. Will try to find time to post before bedtime.
"She's a Princess...she's YOUR Princess. And she's rich, you know?...Help us save her. Think of the influence you'll have with her to build something wonderful in Korvosa. You'd pass up an opportunity to get into the Korvosa building coffers?"
ROFL. That was simply awesome.
Okay, I'm sold. Todor "Han Solo" Orban at your service.

Heh! That was an impressive bit of recruitment there. :)
Todor:
He is well aware of his role as apprentice in regards to hunting down people.
...who then goes and rolls a 20... :)

And it was actually worth something.
Hm... we all rush into the fight, and where's Lionel?

He's gone and teleported back to his obsidian fortress cackling that he managed to get another group of foolish 1st level adventurers killed today.
What you weren't aware he was a lich?
Lol...no, I forgot to post, he double moved, but he couldn't reach the cave since he can't run due to his bad leg. He's on his way.
good grief, poor Serry can't hit anything thus far!

Hate to break the news, but better to do it now rather than later when it might really suck, but you have neither point blank or precise shot which is going to entail a lot of -4 and -8 penalties.

Yeah, true, but the way I'm rolling, wouldn't matter anyway.
Thank you for your patience, guys. Work has been hectic this week!
As for Bones, he's a pc of mine in a pbp game that I withdrew from, but he was fun playing.

His intro was a great post!
Thanks, glad you liked it. I try to make it as "realistic" as possible or as much as you can, with a fantasy game.
I'm not sure if it was intentional or not, but I much prefer when you go ahead and roll initiative for us. Not only do you roll better than we do, but I think it moves the game along faster.
It was intentional. In big climactic fights, I like players to roll their own initiative. Not only does it put more control in your hands, it confirms you are caught up with the thread. I know some DMs roll initiative, saves, etc for the players but that to me feels like I'm playing by myself if I'm making all the rolls. I do understand your point about making the game go faster though. I will take it under advisement for the future. Thanks for the input.
If I keep rolling criticals, this will be a short fight.
Still not happy with my move yesterday, but fortunately Penance did well.
