OutPost I: Kyten's Beyond the Halflight Path (Standard) (Inactive)

Game Master Incendiaeternus

Greetings Players!

Welcome to what hopefully will be a fun filled time.

I put this up just to get this out of the way, so you know what to expect from me, and vice versa.

Have Fun Seriously, if your not having fun why are you playing? If for some reason you are not having fun, message me and I'll see if I can fix the situation.

Roleplay This is possibly an old Cam adage that follows me, this is a roleplaying game not a "roll" playing game, we do both but one helps the other. Try and describe a bit of what you are doing, this is one of the advantages of PbP -- you can internal monologue, you can describe your weapon flourishes, ect and your not slowing down the game. Talk among yourselves in character - it's fun!

Posting I'm going to aim for non-Weekends once every 24 hours. This doesn't mean I ignore you on the weekend, or it will take 24 hours per round of posting. If everyone has posted, I'll move things on. I keep in mind everyone has Real Life obligations and different time zones.

Rolling I will roll the following to set up things and only really to keep things moving.

• Initiative
  
• Perception (hidden)
  
• Saving throws

Botting: I prefer not to bot, but I want the game to keep moving. If I do bot you, it will likely be minimal. I won't use player non-renewable resources except in dire situations. If you have specifics put it up with your sheet under a spoiler.
I will Bot under the following circumstances:

• It's combat, and 24 hours have passed;
  
• You tell me that you will be gone for a few days, and ask me to bot you.

Sheets and Statistics This is to make everyone's life a bit easier. Please have your sheet posted to your character and have vital stats in your tag lines, this puts everything in your tagline to help adjudication situations where the GM rolls for the whole party. I've made a guide for how to do this if your new to PbP or just want to try out a new format. (I'm not picky as long as everything is there.) Kyten's Intro to PbP Setup

GM Need to Know Send me a PM if there is something about the character that you don't want to post up but will affect how your character interacts with the scenario. This includes I'm impersonating another class and I've dual classed but don't advertise one of them. -- Yes both have happened to me.

To get the paperwork stuff out of the way, if you can all let me know the following.

And an innocent bystander, often seen nearby The Thundering Spirit...

Looks like a fun group. Sort of half sad that I have brought my restrained, introspective zen archer to this table and not one of my more outspoken or boisterous characters. :)

Sorry I haven't chimed in. I have no idea why I wasn't alerted to this before now.

That said, it looks like what you lot need is a healer...

*looks down at unholy symbol of Ymeri*

...and that's a shame. I hope you enjoy cauterization.

I will also use my Entrepreneur Faction Reward to add +5 to this roll, making it a total of '35' this time.

I tried to break things up to make them a bit more readable. This is mostly just oddly put beginning stuff. And the roll for your guide was the rambling talkative one :)

Just as an fyi because I ran into this today a few times. I keep a running commentary in google slide maps of the ever known battle vs server goblins. If you don't see something from me, check there.

Just a quick note, I will be away from Friday until Monday with limited posting ability.

Hey, sorry everyone. I just noticed Paizo keeps eating my posts. I just posted last night and saw it was gone today.

Hey, sorry everyone. I just noticed Paizo keeps eating my posts. I just posted last night and saw it was gone today.

Join the crowd on that one... I just realized I lost yesterdays post as well.

So before this gets lost as well. This is technically a convention! Which means table boons!

Everyone roll a d20 in discussions (here). I have the numbers the organizers selected for getting boons. If you get one of those I'll ask you to roll a d4, and once games are wrapped up they will be emailed to you.

Thus May the Odds be ever in your Favor!: 1d20 ⇒ 7 <- not this number

Boon: 1d20 ⇒ 11

*sacrifices an iguana to Ymeri*: 1d20 ⇒ 6

Gamin casts guidance on Tholl, make some snide comment about his abnormal anatomy, and Tholl rolls a d20.

d20 boon roll: 1d20 ⇒ 1

Gamin casts guidance on Tholl, make some snide comment about his abnormal anatomy, and Tholl rolls a d20.

[dice=d20 boon roll]1d20

When Gamin makes some interesting comments requiring a d4 roll.

One of the two numbers

1d20 ⇒ 15

Alas!

Zyneste visualises rolling a 20 in her mind's eye and then rolls her actual die: 1d20 ⇒ 3

"B-b-but, my Queen...I thought You liked iguana...*pout*...I'll show YOU!"

*snatches iguana from sacrificial pyre just as it acquires a nice, even charring, then eats it herself*

boon: 1d20 ⇒ 6

"Hey there, Tholl, mate, pal. Would ya mind rollin' one o' them pointy things ya got there? No hands, ya see." Rolls d4

@DM: Would you mind bolding whoever's turn it presently is in initiative?

@DM: Would you mind bolding whoever's turn it presently is in initiative?

NP - I usually do, but figured people understood this time it was top of the round.

I want to apologize immensely to everyone here. I have been dealing with Life, and let me tell you, Life has NOT been kind. I should be able to post regularly now.

I have been dealing with Life, and let me tell you, Life has NOT been kind.

Join the club, unhappy to say. :)

I hope that soon everything will be okay with life.

I agree hopefully we all can leave the club of life equals really bad punches lately.

Yep, no apologies needed. Life happens, as we all know. Hopefully our games continue to be an enjoyable diversion for us all and never a burden.

Sorry for the delay guys. I spent Friday sitting in the ER as my whole family had food poisoning. I didn't manage getting to this dealing with other things.

As a note we are still making excellent time on getting done on time.

No worries. Hope everyone is feeling better now!

Woof! That's no fun at all, hope you're all doing better!

What was the culprit?

Any of you suddenly experiencing aversions to foods you'd previously been enjoying for a while.

I had food poisoning from some seafood bisque, once, but what I wound up losing my taste for was...the banana-nut muffins I'd been regularly eating up until that point.

Culprit -- Bison Burgers. It's sad when it comes from a really good restaurant as well.

Right now I don't want to look at anything in burger form, we've both even avoided the hamburger section completely when getting food back in the house.

Slowly working way back to normal solid foods, it wasn't that bad just all the dehydration.

It is good to hear that you are all ok now.

Is our GM OK?

Other than cursing at what happened to the last three days of posts again... yes.

Offers texty wordy things to the server hoping this post stays up this time!

Update! I spoke with your GM's partner just a bit ago. Your GM had to go in for an emergency cholecystectomy but is fine and recovering. She will likely be back online by tomorrow, at which point I will turn back into a pumpkin...

*looks down at general physique*

Right...too late...

Ouch - Hope you get to feeling better quickly, and glad it was caught early enough. Best Wishes

(And Thanks, Dire, for helping out)

Thank you, Dire, for helping out! Phoenix Kyten I wish you the speediest of recoveries. Hang in there, and get better! Thank you for letting us know swiftly that you needed backup.

Hugs from GM HMM and the rest of the online VO team.

PS I just discovered that I GMed for you at GenCon. Small world! I didn’t connect Mike’s friend with one of our GMs!

Further updates!

Gallbladder Damage: 1d1 ⇒ 1

GM Kyten loses 1 Gallbladder.

Stones: 1d1 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

GM Kyten acquires 4 marble-sized stones.

Fort Save vs surgery: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (3) + 17 = 20

GM Kyten will be staying overnight at the hospital for observation, but is otherwise set to be released tomorrow (Thursday) early afternoon!

Best wishes for a very quick recovery GM, and thanks Dire for jumping in and keeping our game ticking along.

Thanks Dire! I hope that our GM will be fit soon.
