Ok. Everyone is at the Merry Mermaid...it is late afternoon.
Naia's new gear is at her home. I am assuming everyone else's gear except for Thout's is there as well.
Poor Thout's player has sat through A LOT of social interaction. Apologies...
No problem; it's been good. The interactions have helped me see more of who Thout is and how to play him, and they've been good in building something beyond, "I help you kill things." With that said, I am ready for him to go out and get after some goblins...
@Rabalar: So Thout agreed to "bell after", but what does that mean? (lol) Is that the first hour after sunrise? As in the sunrise is at 5:22, so 6:00 is a bell after?
IIRC, each bell represents about 15 minutes. I was just going for the flavor of not having clocks/watches. Not really worried about the detail.
NP. Sounded good, just hadn't heard it before. Makes sense, though
Looks like Paizo is back up!
As you get time please post so we can keep the momentum up.

I have to say, the funniest thing right now is what is Irwish's real name? I've seen it Irwish, Irwin, and Irish. Anyone for Irvish or Irvin? Lol!
Yep, I didn't notice that Irwish's name was changed to Irish on that header until an hour later...which was to late by then ;)
All,
I am going to move us forward a bit in time to push this along.
Goodwicki is still busy so I am going to bot Soros for a bit. That means I need everyone to be on point and post as often as possible.
I am going to be leaving for home tomorrow and it is a 12 hour drive from my place in Florida to my home in Texas. I plan on posting when I am taking a break from driving.

Autocorrect has made victims of us all! I just find it funny that his name has shown up with multiple variations.
I'll post a response to Geolin's question in just a bit
LOL...it has. It is even worse on the iphone...I hate posting from my phone.
All,
Licitus made a really valid argument about Combat Reflexes in regards to losing your shield bonus when flat-footed or in the event of sneak attack. With Combat Reflexes, you get a AoO even when flat-footed. I am adding to it that if you have Combat Reflexes you also don't lose your Shield bonus if caught flat-footed.
I made the change in the house rules so that it is in the combat section and in the feats as well.
SD
We are back home and all settled. I plan on posting tonight. I will bot Soros but if at all possible need to have a post or two from Edan so we can get things moving :)
I'm trying to get the calendar straight in my head:
Day 1: attack and town meeting
Day 2: goblin encounter
Day 3: recovery
Day 4: current day. Returning to goblin encampment
This right?

Yes.
All,
I wanted to give everyone a heads up on a few housekeeping/group issues. I sent two private posts out today. One to Goodwicki on when he will be able to start posting again and the second was to Me'mori asking about posting rate/status in our campaign. I plan on botting both for the time being. With Goodwicki I was given advanced notice that he would be dropping off for a bit due to IRL/work. I have not heard from Me'mori/Edan since Jul 26th (eleven days).
If I don't hear back from Me'mori by the end of the week I plan on botting him until we can properly remove the character from the game without disrupting our game/story.
Hopefully, that will not be the case but the slow posting is hurting us at times and I want us to pick up some momentum.

Just a reminder if you want to make a skill check beyond anything passive (I will do that). Active checks you want to perform make sure you go ahead and do them. Please let me know what skill. What for (brief explanation). Make the roll with your modifiers added. This is important for active skill checks. I will always do passive checks for you and active checks that move the story along. Wrap it in OOC or if long SPOILER.
Thanks!

Hi all. I apologize for my lengthy disappearance; unfortunately my RL circumstances no longer afford me the free time necessary to meaningfully contribute to this (awesome) game. It's with regret that I have to withdraw from play. I've really enjoyed playing with all of you, and I hope that you push on through the trials to come and give the Queen of the Demonweb Pits the boot!
Sad to see you go Soros/goodwicki. A good character and a great wizard in the glen.
Sorry to see you go.
I am in the final days of my pennaic vacation. 2 more days of fighting and then breaking camp. My posting will be very limited until Sunday or monday.
Didn't get to interact much with you, but I really enjoyed your character and RP. Sorry that you will not be able to stay on. Good luck with RL and hope to see you on PBP again.
Thanks Goodwicki.
My plan is to bot Soros through this excursion and see what happens. I don't like pulling characters out of the game in the middle of a key moment. Makes the story chopping so we will work to a meaningful conclusion for Soros.
I will look at getting us a replacement. My plan is to use the new game to spot some possible recruits for our campaign. As always feedback from each of you is really important. If you have someone that might be a great fit..send them into the discussion thread and we can chat about it as a group. We have one person who has requested a chance to play in our campaign (Edelsmirge) who posted in our discussion. Not sure how you feel about it but we might want to chat with Edelsmirage.

I obviously need to improve my descriptive skills, but for the record, Thout was not offended by Rabalar. He did, however, feel a bit embarrassed, and tried to hide it. He is a young guy trying to make a good impression, and he doesn't want to look bad or stupid. He knows that even though Rabalar looks young, he is much older than Thout. He also has a high regard of Rabalar and his abilities from the reports that he heard previously. Falling back into a military posture is simply a habit/position of comfort and familiarity for Thout, given his military training and background. He was a little suprised by the encouraging comments, and though, they were comforting, he does feel a little bit patronized, somewhat compounding the embarrassment.
I have no problem, however, playing it that D'ogryn (and others) interpret it as offense. We'll see how that plays out.
hustonj,
What is the craft (other)? I was updating our combat sheet and I noticed it.
SD
Craft is usable untrained. Craft(other) is his untrained bonus, as opposed to his specific trained bonus. I do the same thing with bards for performance and knowledge skills.
Got it.

All,
If you get a few moments please do me a big favor and update this notepad with your bonuses on the list rolls.

I use these to cut and paste into our threads to speed up posts.

I was not able to edit the link above. Could read it fine, but seemed to be read-only.
I have been researching the google drive and even though it shows that if you have the link and the link is set to ALLOW EDIT I am not sure it is actually functional. Every site recommends email address auth/send to allow edit access.
One of the ways we might best do this is for everyone to send me an email and I can send you the link to the actual folder/s and give you direct access. My suggestion in this case is to create a sub-account email address and send it to me if you don't want to send me your primary email address. I do this all the time... I have a SPAM email and several other emails that I use under my primary account to monitor spam/security related issues with what people are sending me.
Anyways, if this is a option please message me with your email and I will get that set up. The one nice thing is that in this manner only those on the email list can actually change anything in the folders and documents. I am always hesitant about open access so I end up isolating those folders away from my primary folders and accounts. The google drive I use with this site is a completely different google account dedicated to this site.

Ok...thanks to Tazo in the Baltron's Beacon game it was an issue with text files not being supported by google drive. They are read only not editable. So when I get home I will paste those over to a google doc and get them back out.
SD
I am back from vacation but not fully unpacked...Will be back to regular posting in the next day or two.
We need to get things moving along. So when you get a moment lets get some posts up :)
Visible text file vs Google Docs. It could be opened and shared in Google Docs, though.
Can I ask for an Initiative block to be added? all the passive saves are there (fort/ref/will), I count Init in that group, since it isn't so much of a "I want to go ~now!~ as a reaction to a situation.
I do to as well. I will add that in for us and that is a good idea.
SD
Looks like we are back up. Hopefully, it is all stable. :)
I have made two posts. Hopefully, everyone checks back today or in the next few days.
I'm posting this to all Discussion threads of games I'm in - it'll take me a day or so to catch up!!!
Looks like it is back up for now. If you get a chance get some posts in :)
SD
So it is now Wednesday and it looks like Paizo might have fixed whatever issue they were having with their system. I will give it a few days for everyone to respond to the last few posts. Hopefully, they have resolved whatever issue caused their system to be down for over a two week period...
Ok, so I am hoping the dust has settled and Paizo's platform is now stable and we can have some consistent up time.
Let's roll our collective sleeves up and get the ball rolling on our story!
Do me a big favor and give me a CHECK IN on the discussion so that I know you are still playing and active.
SD
Hello.
Present. Will be posting at some point tonight.
If you create a file in our campaign folder, I can use it to track what we have so far.
Here.

First day of school...been busy will post tomorrow.
All,
I will get a google doc up for tracking treasure and magical items for you guys by the end of the weekend.
Also I sent a note to Me'mori about activity. We will need to take a look at filling Soro's shoes once we get through this excursion.
As always if there are any suggestions or things we could improve let me know.
All,
Here is the Party Magic Items and Treasure.
I would greatly appreciate it if someone could go through and list all treasure recovered so far.
SD
Pretty sure we found at least one box and a stick with frogs on it. ;)
