Wow! So Paizo has finally, and very quietly it seems, allowed custom avatars!
Say what?!
I know, Right?
Oops, never mind. It's actually a new feature of the Paizo Campaign Tools Extension that I installed for my browser. The custom avatar is only an overlay and only I can see it!
Ah. I was going to say, as I hadn't seen anything about it. I don't think they're ever really going to do that.
Yep. I came to terms with Satyr/Chimp a long time ago.
But it's a very nice looking chimp!
The satyr is rather oily looking I must admit. :p
I may not be able to post tomorrow; if I AM able to sneak one in, it'll likely be late afternoon or early evening. Back to normal on Wednesday.
For shopping, if Kayleigh gets 70 gp or more as her share of sold-off loot, she'll buy a healer's kit (50 gp) and a smokestick (20 gp). Regardless, she'll also buy 2 peasant's outfits: one for her disguise, one for Crayden (2 sp total). She'd likely leave her buckler (and probably her morningstar) at home for the visit to the playhouse, if we get that far.
Sorry guys, I've been down with fever/flu the last couple of days and pretty much checked out.

I'm going to be out of the country Sunday-Thursday, and likely won't be posting.
Oh, have a great trip Nebbin!
There are a few things on the loot list that we should maybe hold on to right now.
The MWK Kukri is good for Emi, unless we need the cash she can take it to replace one of her daggers.
The Silversheen and Oil of Keen Edge are things that when you need them, you need them. Until we have better equipment we could keep them just in case. We can always sell them later if need be.
The arrowhead is interesting. Maybe adamantine? Mithril? Probably not worth it to keep a single arrowhead, but again it might be useful to have around.
I assumed mithril, based on the description.
I agree with keeping all those things you mentioned. Maybe also the key-shaped blade. Could possibly be important later?
(Depending on whether anyone else can get that other Knowledge check, might be something else too.)
I don't think we have anyone trained in K Nobility.
Curses! The one knowledge I don't have!
Got distracted by the game last night....
Tell me about it! I realize that as a Pats fan I'm spoiled, but...that one last night was special, incredible, and ridiculous all at the same time. So much so that I might actually get off my butt, brave the weather, and go and see the victory parade in person for the first time instead of just watching it on TV.
Strangest sb I've ever seen, that's for sure. When Belichik called the field goal rather than letting his nutsack get in the way, I thought NE was still in the game and thinking. I was really surprised the Falcons collapsed like that though. ONE stop of any kind, or one point for that matter, and the tie is not possible. Very little defensive pride on that team!
Would any of you guys mind playing Neziana in oyzar's absence? I find that way preferable than trying to DMPC the character.
If no one else wants to, I can do it in the short term when I get home, but I'd rather replace her at some point...

Totally agree. I want to have someone play her for the near term and will only write her out if it becomes apparent that oyzar is not coming back. If we reach that point I'll write her out and try to recruit someone new. Thanks Mott.
So I'm now "stuck" in St. Maarten until Sunday, thanks to the winter storm. Will resume posting after that.

The catch in that game is one for the ages, too. Overshadowed Julio Jones's catch that almost led to lethal points if they can hit a field goal. Did you go to the parade?

Man, you have me jealous! I have florida all the time, but stuck in St Maarten has a nice sound to it!
I'm driving to a soccer tournament both days this weekend, so I'm likely to be absent as well. I set the scene of the play but if I ran over any spot where you wanted to branch off and do something just let me know.

I'm fine with huddling in the rain here while those of you in tropical places frolic. When you're back and ready next week we can continue.
Did you go to the parade?
Nah, I wussed out. Between a bad back and a forecast of cold rain, I decided to watch it on TV. Probably a wise decision in hindsight.

Great. Sorry I'm holding things up. Momentum is such a critical part of PBPs...
So...it looks like sneaking backstage will be next to impossible. How about we have someone (Neziana maybe, since she's currently in NPC mode?) set off a smokestick somewhere on the left side of the map while the rest of us do our best to hop onstage and scramble through one of the doors?
My original thought was to place the smokesticks so they would cover what we were doing. If people are convinced there's a fire, they will run away rather than to it. Except for possibly employees, but we can deal with them more freely than the crowd.
Also the smoke might cover our actions. If it's between us and viewers they may not see us get on the stage. I'd suggest a first on the right side roughly where the stage and upper gallery meet on the map. after that one is going drop a second near the right front corner of the stage to make it look like the fire is spreading quickly.
I like Em's plan better than my own.
The price of the gallery seating is 4 gp, not 4 cp. The galleries are for the upper class who can bear the price.
The 4 cp pit price is way too low, it should be more like 5 sp - that sets the right economy for the crowd you encounter. Pocket change will not get you in - it's an expensive date.
Wanted to note this here for posterity's sake: After selling the loot, we have 1061g 3s in cash plus the queen's brooch, the silver ring and the key shaped dagger.
Sounds like based on this we also paid 2 gp, 5 sp to get in.
Do we want to divvy that treasure up and put it on our personal sheets? Also, do we want to maintain a "party fund," giving it an equal share that can be used for curatives and things of that sort?
--
Em's plan works for me...
Works for me too -- I'm a little hampered because Nebbin would never suggest this stuff (or at least not for a good long time), but I do want to help keep moving things forward and making some suggestions to other players.
I know solely reactive characters aren't the best choice for PBPs, but Nebbin will be a bit slow to take initiative, so there are some times I find it difficult to "push" with him (though think his other qualities make up for that).
Yeah, the character dynamics have been a little different than I expected them to be. I'd not intended for Emi to play master sergeant, figuring someone else would assert themselves as a leader of sorts. I don't mind the change though, it was an aspect of her that was going to develop over time anyway.
However you guys want to drop in your preferences and ideas about what to do is fine it me. Blue text will work. Since we can read everyone's thoughts, italics will too. Maybe Emi is just very, extra empathetic and can feel you out that well :p
As for loot, I've taken well more than a share between the bow, kukri, silversheen, and oil. If the rest of you want to split up the gold thats fine. Maybe pitch me any remainder if the division isn't even for maintenance.
I figure 1 month holding onto oyzar's spot is about right and that point's coming up. What's the collective opinion on the thread?
Recruit another player?
Go with 4?
Anyone have a friend that might be interested?
I have an old friend who might like to play, he's a good role-player and writer, and has been a dependable poster in past games of mine. He may need some help with the rules here and there though.
Other options?
I strongly believe 5 players is optimal for PBP.
I'm fine with recruiting another player, whether open or by invite. If you want to have your friend join, that's fine with me, or I have a group of players I really enjoy at this point and I could certainly check with them to see if any are interested...
Yes, I'd say picking up another player would be best. If you have someone in mind Luke, that's fine by me. I also have a couple of people I could check with from other campaigns who might be interested.
I'm good with adding a 5th player back into the mix at this point. I've thoroughly enjoyed gaming with all of you and implicitly trust any of you to add another great player.
As for motteditor's suggestion about dividing party loot, I think the idea for a "party fund" makes sense (although I was sort of hoping that Kayleigh would become a 'walking curative' for the party at some point). Right now, Kayleigh doesn't need her share of loot; she'd take a small bit of cash to give to the priests of Aroden to repair and maintain the temple and would like to keep the two inscribed items for further investigation in her spare time.
True story: Ben Stiller is my cousin-in-law (his wife and mine are first cousins). Very nice guy. BIG house...
I'm likely to be without internet access Sunday and Monday (holiday). Please feel free to bot Kayleigh as needed. I think her agenda at this point is pretty clear: save Crayden at all costs. A bless spell when combat seems imminent seems appropriate.
No dice from my buddy - he's too busy with real life, or some such lame excuse. :D
If any of you know someone who'd like to join, I'd prefer that road to opening for general recruitment again.
OK, I'll send some feelers out. There's a guy I'm playing with in one game who I've really enjoyed and I'd be happy to be in another game with him. I assume we're looking for someone who can fill some sort of skill monkey roll?

I'll wait to see what happens with your person and if he doesn't bite, I can talk to a couple of people as well.
Just sent him a PM.
Also, trying to set up some groundwork for Neziana's departure. :)
Hey guys! Motteditor has very nicely invited me to the game. So uh, hi! I'm Dave aka SpiderBeard. I've been playing Pathfinder for around six years, and tabletop RPGs for almost 25. I run a bunch of games on here and play in a couple.
One thing I mentioned to mott is that I am familiar with this campaign (I'm actually running it), but can put my blinders on so to speak. I've never had the opportunity to play in it and really love this AP.
Hi! :D
Welcome to our motley band of semi-reluctant heroes!
Hi and welcome! It's been great fun and we're still very early in things. You made a good choice :)
Welcome SpiderBeard! Very happy to have you aboard. What kind of character did you have in mind?
Pass me an email to smoochy.knave@gmail.com and I'll give you access to our campaign site.
