This is our discussion thread....a place to talk out of character, to say hello or to let others know that you may be absent for a while....
Say Hi and then toddle over to the Gameplay thread....
Just to clarify, this is the board for Group B from the Wardens of the Reborn Forge recruitment thread....
Finnian - Human Fighter (Weapon Master) 6 / Monk (Master of Many Styles) 1 / Aldori Swordlord 5
Black Bragi - Dwarf Fighter (Lore Warden) 2 / Gunslinger (Musket Master) 5 / Shieldmarshal 5
Scaramanga Root - Half Elf Arcane Trickster 8 / Alchemist (Mindchemist, Vivisectionist) 3, Wizard (Spellslinger) 2
Twylla - Aasimar Oracle 5 / Veilled Illusionist 7
Will post later tonight. Sorry but with the site outage and some more things happening AFK its been a while since I've had a chance to.
I have posted the next gameplay post...Finnian will need to catch up...I have PM'd him to remind him we have started (the website being down over the weekend hasn't helped I guess)
Dazzling Blade, Mass = The Hidden Gem
Funny story guys! I didn't prepare spells for the day. Lets all have a good laugh about it!
Just a notice. I don't have any resurrection spells, so...don't die. :)
Finnian - Great timing for building a character with the Crane Style feat....
From yesterdays Ultimate Combat errata (and sending the Paizo message boards on fire!!!)
Benefit: Once per round, when fighting defensively with at least one hand free, you can designate one melee attack being made against you before the roll is made. You receive a +4 dodge bonus to AC against that attack. If you using the total defense action instead, you can deflect one melee attack that would normally hit you. An attack so def lected deals no damage and has no other effect (instead treat it as a miss). You do not expend an action when using this feat, but you must be aware of the attack and not flat-footed.
My view is that this so fundamentally undermines your character that you'd want to rebuild so....let's ignore the errata!!!!!
^
Thank goodness. I was just thinking about that.
I didn't notice until now, but the name of your gun is awesome. At least it brings the number of females in the party to two.
GM Zed,
I am OK either way. The new erratta to Crane Riposte fixes most of the problem. I lose an auto deflect for a +4 to AC, not real happy, but also not a big deal overall.
Hi Zed. Can I buy any of the pre-generated spellbooks listed in Ultimate Magic? So far I've just given my character 2 spells per wizard level.
bump.
No problems....sorry I forgot to reply first time around.
Sorry for the light posting guys. Started a new job a couple of weeks ago and am still in the "ramping up" period. Will post tomorrow and try to keep up better in the future.
I have PM'd Scaramanga to get a Will save...if nothing is forthcoming in the next few hours I will probably roll for him and keep us moving along....
Have PM'd Scaramanga...if nothing by tomorrow, I will DMPC him so we can get things moving...
Don't sweat it Scaramanga - I introduced a bit of a delay with getting the map up...and then we hit the weekend...
Yeah. My spellbook is on my home comp as well. I forgot what I had prepared for the day... Also do you want a copy of it or something? I'm not quite sure how to go about handling spellbooks in online games. I keep a hero lab file if you want the .por
I don't have Hero Lab, thanks for the offer though... You can stick the spells on your profile or a linked spreadsheet maybe?
Forgot to add. Those fireballs also have a DC 20 reflex save to halve the damage.
Will post tonight after work.
What is the healing capability of the group? I will move / modify treasure accordingly if you guys are going to struggle for healing....
My healing is the "don't get hit" kind :)
Not always a good choice :)
Not when you start hitting yourself at least!!!
Look on the bright side, the other group I am running through the adventure managed to kill one of their party during the Mana Storm!!!
I have the Heal spell, which I can use, but I would rather save them for urgent situations.
All, I am travelling today and tomorrow so no updates until Friday...
Sorry,
GM Zed
Hey guys. I'm starting to wear myself thin on PbPs and I'm going to be dropping a couple of games, this one included. I have no complaints and I really like you guys, but I really need to consolidate my PbP habits into maybe 2-3 games (as opposed to the 4, and soon 5 that I'll be in with some friends).
This is NOT to say I'm leaving cold turkey, and I'll play until we get to a good checkpoint where my character can part ways with you guys amicably (or die horribly, whichever comes first)and be least disruptive to the story.
Good playing with you. Hopefully we'll find a good spot and if needed one where we can drop someone else in too.
I'll be GMing 6 slots at a con this weekend so if needed GMPC me. Will try to check in, but you might not hear from me until Sun night/Monday.
Scaramanga - I understand, and it is always better to be honest rather than start feeling like it is becoming a chore....I will put a thread in recruitment and see if anyone wants to take your slot...in the meantime, it would be great if you can carry on to a sensible 'exit point'
Thanks,
GM Zed
All - I am happy with taking both proposed characters on board...any issues? I will probably ramp the combats up a small bit to reflect a five party group...
Unless I hear otherwise, I will let the new players know tomorrow and work out how we phase them in..,,and Scaramanga out!!!
So you want me to stop posting or should I run off a cliff or something? Haha.
Please carry on posting...there's a particularly brutal encounter quite early in the mine...which would be a good time to bring new people in (and for you to die horribly!!!)
I'm good with both. I think they should fill the holes nicely.
All.... A polite reminder about trying to post on a near daily basis... I want to bring in the two new players ASAP but would like to have moved the party on just a tiny bit to allow that to happen....
Dropping by just to says hello :)
I'm around too.
So I will ring Sumak and Nathaniel in after Round 2 of the combat (assuming it lasts that long!!!!)
Hello to all.
i will be away for a mountain vacation until the 31 with Zero internet connection.
Please Bot me as appropriate.
I will be available today if you have a question tough.
Wouf !
Scaramanga uses the term "Prelim"...Cornell?
So...Nathaniel Belorne isn't going to join the game...reckons he's taken on too much...fair enough...
Sumak - I am happy for you to stumble upon the mine and find the party near the entrance...
Scaramanga - How do you want to play this? Are you still feeling over stretched and looking to exit?
Ok, thanks for the update. If you need me to hear a pebble drop to steer us back toward the entrance, I can, but we're probably close enough for Sumak to find us before we continue.
I do, but I don't plan on leaving you guys dry. When we get to a good place I'll exit.
Hello to all
I am back from my mountain trip so now available at anytime to enter the game :)
Hi, from the light within the tunnel you should be able to see where the party has moved on to after their encounter with the undead...(you can check out the map at the top of the Gameplay Page and in the Campaign tab). Feel free to post you arriving at the mine...
With Sumak approaching along the corridor, do you guys want to do Gameplay introductions... Then hopefully Bragi will let you know what he has detected and we can move on?
It depends of how fast we can do them. i don't want to drag the game down :)
There's nothing like a bit of peril to get a group bonding so...if things haven't moved / introductions made over the weekend, I'll inject some action to get everyone posting....
