Heyo!
So far in carryover we have Shilyn, and Amnur confirmed. Lore and Thad declined for reasons of being in too many groups. I have a pending invite out to lauranna and mylvie.
I would propose (to shilyn, mostly, as amnur knows already and the rest of the group is still pending at this point) that we add 1 of my friends from my home group, as he has expressed interest in play by post. his name is Jake, and he is solid. he is actually single handedly responsible for getting me into Pathfinder. would you be okay with this Shy?
if so, then we are both waiting for current companions, and looking for replacements if they don't pan out or answer back, and I have a recruitment thread started with you both have already found.

Lauranna has responded as "in" as well.
I'm giving Mylvie til the end of the day to respond, then we better start the narrowing down process.
with all this talk of ale, I think that Orion might pop in (he is the pc I'm giving credit to, so I might use him in the recruit thread to socialize a little)

Cool beans. how many are we looking to add? We got 4 confirmed? Me Shi, Jake and Lauranna. Correct?
yep. mylvie will go down as a no show so we can get this on the road.
2 more. Any ideas who you want it to be? I'm impressed with oriandor so far. He has run some too as a gm, so he might help keep me in line with the new rule changes etc. He gets my vote as far as I get one.
What do you all think? Do you want to pick now or to wait and mingle still?
Didn't catch that oriandor is a level 3 already. That could prove problematic... As he could be too op. The roleplay seems like it would be fun though. I don't mind taking a level 3 because Jake is coming in at a level 1 so that should help balance out.
Just don't I want him to mow through and not leave anything for the rest of you guys.
the GM that ran our last session commented that he has had toren stand still in a few other games as a different character and he has been pretty solid and a good RPer.
which doesn't show from the thread, lol.

Soooo.. Oriander and Aram are the only ones other than Flo who picked up on the subtle and not so subtle hint.. Ori I think is more into the RP aspect based on what I've seen so far.
I can almost picture the guy standing there.. Ahem.. um.. er.. <thinking to self..are they deaf or well into their cups? Didn't I just introduce myself..twice??> heh. Like the guy who wants to be noticed.. but everyone overlooks because they know he wants to be noticed.. ;) I can see him fitting in well. First vote would have been Flo had she not dropped.
We should try and pick by tonight or early tomorrow. Lauranna messaged me that he/she is on its way in to the discussion here soon. Jake will be here soon too.
Would we want Flori and Oriandor (provided he can scale down and not be too OP.)
That would give us 3 level 2's, one level 3, and 2 1's. Seems like a good balance. *shrug*
It's up to you guys. Also, make sure to glance over the list/thread to make sure you aren't forgetting about someone.

I think Saki has an interesting character. Good description and interesting background. Would make for an intriguing random encounter.. heh
So... how many changes can we cram in? So, the latest is that Jake doesn't want to play this go around (just barely had a baby), but I heard from Mylvie and he/she is very excited to play so I invited her on in.
so we will have Lauranna and Mylvie coming into the group and 2 open spots.

lol, Hey Mylvware! glad you could get your nose out of the books long enough to pop in here.
Flori and Oriandor? Or Rogar and Saki?
I've played with Ser Jec and he's a solid player, if a tad late to the game. But I guess Saki is as well, sorta.
I vote we try and decide by today. Everyone want to cast some votes?
It seems Flori and Oriandor are kind of the winners thus far.
Flori and oriandor have been invited. We start officially February 2nd. you are welcome to carry over the "buying each other rounds fest" on the campaign thread, and even rp the actual invitation if you wanted. You aren't sure what the mission is, just received a message from someone that saw your last trip and have been told to form a group that leaves in 2 days time, if ready to go.
Flori and ori, I need to see the last character sheets you have (unless you have none which I believe is flori's case).
Flori, you are a first timer, right? I need you to read the PFS rulebook (guide) and pick a faction. You are welcome to post here if you have any questions. We would be happy to answer any of them for you.
everyone needs to do appropriate leveling, and post applicable leveled stats here, not to mention purchasing for the trip.you will probably have time to purchase once game has started as well, but I don't want to spend too much downtime on purchasing, so purchase what you know you will want ( armor upgrades weapon upgrades etc, now.) anything newly purchased needs to be shown here.

Hmm from the looks of it, there's going to be a lot of use with my demon stick (wand of infernal healing).
Also, all things considered, Oriandor is not nearly as strong as he should be for a level 3, thanks to the low BAB for multiclassing into 2 3/4 classes and the lack of Arcane Accuracy to make up for it (until next level mwa ha ha ha ha). HP is also somewhat low for reliable melee combat. In fact, I'm sure Amnur will have more HP than him once he takes care of that :P The only thing to watch out for (and will save for when thinks look grim or final boss) is the potential 1d6 + 1d6 + 3d6 shocking grasp when sneak attacking, assuming I can hit with a mere +5 (and that's counting the +2 for flanking working against the -2 for Spell Combat) <_<
If you have any PFS questions, let me know.
PS: And thanks :)
Oriandor, thanks and welcome.
Also, while we are making preparations, anyone that doesn't have stats either showing like Shilyn or "tabbed" like Amnur and Flori needs to do that. It is a big help in game.

Walking onto the set wearing her robe and fuzzy bunny slippers, Shilyn walks up, donut in hand. "Hey all," she says taking a bite of the pastry. Pulling her copy of the script from the pocket of her robe, she waves it toward Director Brayden. "I am not wearing a nighty and going into the basement.. alone.. in the dark.. weaponless..after hearing a loud thump. I still have scars from those nasty mushrooms."
Pulling out her pen, she crosses off her name and replaces it with Flori's. "There.. much better," she quips. "Let the new girl do it this time." With a wink toward Amnur, she turns and walks off, stuffing the last of her donut into her mouth. An evil Elvish laugh trailing behind..
Welcome Flori and Oriandor! :)
sounds great, flor and good luck in the basement.
Friendly reminder that we will be starting tomorrow. We can start lightly if you wish (I didn't really put it together that I was *starting* on a saturday. It just seemed like a nice round number, and I have a wedding to attend tonight) and then hit it hard on monday. Or we can hit it hard from the get go. It just depends on what you guys are feeling.
Oriandor,
That should work fine.
Everyone,
I need you to post your starting xp, prestige, and gold.
All gold purchases or "cashing in" prestige must be done in thread.
Good thing you didn't forget the bridle, I was going to nail you on that... ;)
Your horse was going to choose to walk off a cliff with all your stuff and you would have no way to counter that. :P
No worries. Jump on in the water is great!
Also, a couple things everybody: It just occurred to me that I haven't played with a few of you, and that means that we need to get accustomed to the "rules" of our tyhpey typey game.
The main ones that I can think of are: (in the interest of things not taking forever and ever)
1) I roll your obvious perceptions for you... "percep check before we walk in the room, etc."
2) I will also roll Fort saves, and stuff like that that I need to give damages or "you are poisoned" type things. I will let you roll your additional checks to overcome said disease, etc.
3) We do combat like so: I roll INIT for everyone and declare order. Everyone posts their actions in spoiler format with the title of the round so it looks like
Round x : [spoiler button]
I then take everyone's actions plus the badguys and then compile data for the round. If attacks are directed at newly dead people I will redirect those attacks where they make sense. I need your first attack post to spell out the tendencies or "functions" of your character in combat (shoot first, stay on backline, heal people, frontline fighter.)
- I am not in the business of killing people, so I am going to be generous when moving you around in this fashion.
Doing things like this allow us to get through 1 to 2 rds of combat a day. Also, if 4 out of 6 people are locked in (and I happen to have free time and am checking :) ) I will "autobot" the other 2 chars to keep the combats flowing.
4) When asking if you can do a certain thing that has an accompanying standard roll, just include the roll with it so that we don't run into this.
GM, can I check for a trap there?
....One day later....
GM:Sure
Later that night... Char rolls a 21
....The next day....
There is no trap.
any questions or concerns on the above rules?
I need a "yes, sir" or "no, sir" from everyone.
