I usually play the mistakes in a players favor are divine intervention and let them stand but discuss them for future instances.
While mistakes in the GM's favor are correctable within the same round but there after stand.
That way we minimize any impact to the flow of combat while still being fair to players who take actions assuming certain circumstances and rules are in effect.
Just FYI, Dargon's method is usually how I handle it, so probably how we'll do it here as well.
Also, are folks getting tired of the dungeon crawl. This isn't Jzadirune, but it's got some heft to it. I can trim it down if people would prefer, as I think big dungeons can be even more frustrating with PBPs.
All good with the crawl, imho. As long as we can be smart asses and rp with each other, it doesn't matter where we are to me.
Kyson will be Kyson in and out of the dungeon and I'm happy to continue as long as it goes.
I'm enjoying the story and the process...this is an AP and we're going to dungeon crawl once in a while.
OK, then, we'll keep going. Just give me a holler if you start getting tired of them. I don't think any are *too* bad in this adventure path (OK, maybe one way toward the end...).
On another note, is someone keeping track of your loot?
On another note, is someone keeping track of your loot?
I think I am.
Uhm, I mean, I think Kyson is.
Did you need something now?
Nope, just had someone have to go back and search for everything in another PBP, so figured I'd mention it.
Death in the family so I've been out of commission and probably will be until Friday. DMPC as needed.
My condolences, Dargon. Thanks for the head's up.
Damn straight!
:)
May have to DMPC for me tomorrow and Thursday. I'll be traveling and do not know if I will have access or not yet.
Just an FYI, I'm assuming that Sekathral will be checking every door while you're down here even if I just fast-forward you through it. Obviously you're free to roll to when you're up, Sekathral, but I didn't want you to think I was just going to run you into traps when I'm moving a little more quickly.

Grand - thanks! I was getting a bit twitchy after setting off about 6 traps on the trot, but that'll make it a lot easier for everyone :)
Will do, Zstelian.
Just remember, if you write an action where you're opening the door, I'll only include the search if you do so, but I'll definitely include it if I'm DMPCing you.
(At the risk of meta gaming, I probably will continue not to bother to roll if I know there's nothing to be heard/found, since that saves me some typing.)
"There is plenty of room to hide behind the basking light of Silvio's presence."
Hey guys, I'll probably be offline for the rest of the night. Sorry.
If anyone's interested, we had a cleric disappear from a Second Darkness campaign I'm playing in. I'd certainly recommend any of you for a spot if you want to create a divine character. Seems like a fun group so far; not quite as good as this one, but then again, I think this is a pretty spectacular group we've got here. Let me know if you're interested.
(FWIW, I recently downloaded a couple mods and will likely try to run Witchwar Legacy once I'm done with my Fellknight Queen PBP game, though that may be a couple months still.)
Sorry for not posting earlier. Caught a bad cold which narrowed my interests down to sniffeling, sneezing and staying in bed. It's better now. Not good, but better
[ooc] Recommend whisky toddies and curry. Might not help the cold, but will make you feel better :) [ooc]
Hey all: Just a note to let you know I'm recruiting some replacements for my Kingmaker campaign, thanks to one player deciding touring Europe for six months after graduating is more important than gaming (lucky jerk!). No guarantees, obviously, but you've all made a good impression in this game. Patrik's in it and has a character who's completely different but as fun as Silvio (IMO).
Everyone but Patrik (Silvio), please feel free to apply.
Round 2, Init 21, HP 11/13, AC 16
Sekathral will attempt to vault over the wolf , land lightly on the other side and then stab it
In my head that looks way too awesome to only be worth 9 damage. The trials of being low level...
Round 2
Kyson delays.
Stupid wolf! What is a wolf even doing down here?
Wait. Dargon called it a 'pup'.
A young wolf...that explains it...it's a *miner*.Kyson titters gently to himself.
haha!
Just FYI, my folks are in town this weekend, so not sure how much I'll be posting Saturday and Sunday. They do usually head off to bed three or four hours before me, though, so it's possible I'll still get to get something in at least every night.
'Ware sharks!"...
Man, I should TOTALLY make them weresharks. That'd be awesome!
(And with that bad pun, I'm off to garden and do other chores with the folks.)

Thoughts anyone? Return the Vanderboren loot.
Does the pretty lady want the outfits and the perfumes?
FWIW, getting some of this will require another trip into the complex. You can do that if you want, obviously. You'll meet no resistance.
I think you've also got at least one person you captured (and I think their may have been 1-3 more who were left tied up) there and need to decide what you did with him/them.
Just to let you know, I'll be away until the 8th of June - please DMPC me until I get back.
I think we'll have to return the Vanderboren loot, although concepts like 'finder's fees' and 'deductions for reasonable expenses' may flash through Sekathral's mind.
I've got the +1 rapier, BTW - I also took a hand crossbow, some quarrels and a sap; I'd like a spare set of thieves (thief's?) tools too. And just one cask of rum?
Also, don't know what your rules are re: PCs using poison, Motte, but I'd like to keep some of the sea urchin venom. Deduct all of the above from my share as applicable, obviously.
Re: the prisoners, untie them, take them to the back gate of the city and then run the varmints out of town!

Lootz:...
Does the pretty lady want the outfits and the perfumes?
The pretty lady does, but only if they can be made to fit appropriately. If I remember correctly, some were a little too tight through the shoulders.
Can they be made to fit with some tailoring?
Probably not all of the perfume, but if there are a couple that don't smell like wet dog on a half orc. Say, two of the best ones?

Silvio's plan was posted here. Since he didn't get any negative feedback that's what i assumed happened :)
Magic chain shirt? When did we get this? Silvio is very interested.

Should be 1740.1 per yahoo, unless I've made a mistake, eh? Let me know or just feel free to correct and repost.
Are we still lvl 2?
Oooh, no, you're level 3 now. Thanks, forgot about that. Congrats everyone. Don't spend all those XP in one place.
As a reminder, please let me know what changes you make to your sheet.
Do we need any healing wand donations or are we ok with healing?
HP
For a feat I'll be picking up crane style and for skills I'll be dipping into knowledge history since I should have did it before to account for his age. And then investing more in acrobatics, perception, and swim. My monk speed also kicks in so I won't lag behind anymore :).
Added mage armor and cure light wounds potions, & spent beer money...
Mott - Did you ever assign Dargon a trait? I don't have it on my sheet and I can't find a post for it.
Hmm, let me doublecheck.
Nice, i'll update Silvio later tonight.
Silvio lvl3:
Another level in fighter.
+8 hit points (+6 from hit dice (we where allowed to take average, right?) +2 from con)
+5 skill points (+3 from figher, +1 from int, +1 from favored class) going into:
+1 to bluff (He is getting quite proficient with retelling the stories of his own exploits)
+1 to diplomacy (Everybody is a friend to Silvio!)
+1 to intimidate (as he hones his swordcraft he also perfects his performance which is able to strike fear into almost anybody)
+1 Knowledge (local) (Silvio learns great many things from his numerous friends and admirers)
+1 stealth (Silvio is beginning to notice that the stealthy approach does have its benefits)
Aldori dueling mastery as a feat (fighting multiple enemies has sharpened his reflexes and proficiency with the blade)
That is all.
Sweet. Yes, let's buy another Wand o' CLW.
Knock per share down to 1615.1 each. (less 125 gp each)
Kyson's level coming up.
Kyson, lvl 3:
+7 hp (5 for level, 2 for con)
+6 skillz (2 for clr, 2 for int, 1 for human, 1 for FC)
+1 Perception
+1 Spellcraft
+3 Know (Arcana)
+1 Know (Planes)
Feat: Improved Init (Kyson is the skittish sort. The other 'top' choice was Tower Shield prof. Maybe in two levels.)
I'll RP Kyson's learning more stuff tomorrow (in game) morning.
List of stuff I'm buying and updated alias to come.
Motteditor--
Any restrictions in Eleder on what might be available?
Kyson seeks:
Mithral Shirt (1100 gp)
Darkwood Heavy Shield (257 gp)
1 communal wand of CLW
I think that would all be pretty available in Eleder. It's a major city, after all.

Khaz level 3 sorc
HP: +6=20(I did half +1, if you want me to roll, let me know)
Feat: Spell Penetration
skills (5):
Disable Device: 1 (from watching Sekathral at the doors),
UMD: 2 (She's fascinated by the CLW wand)
KNOW-Dung: 1
Spellcraft:1
Spells: Enlarge Person (bloodline spell) and Touch of Gracelessness.
Khaz also picks up "Long Limbs" this level, giving her an extra 5' of reach for melee touch attacks.
She definitely wants to go shopping. Assuming she finds everything, she'll buy a new hat, scarf, courtier's outfit, a new walking stick (hanbo), Alchemists Fire (3), thieves tools (since I forgot to grab some while we had them), and a wand of Mage Armor.
