Let's do at the battle site, for a couple reasons.
#1 I think they will be too concerned with "looting" to worry about spies.
#2 I will portray you as going around to the pathfinder society agents and trying to heal them, maybe even taking the liberty of mourning or shedding a tear or two over a couple, to give you a very non-threatening entry.
Oh, I *SO* wan't to click on that... *sigh*
You're the DM.... there ARE no secrets from the DM!!! Everyone knows that lol...
Just so you know, and these things don't affect the game or the character in any way, but are just 'fluff' - but I rolled on the variant features chart and got a result of two things - character has 6 fingers on each hand (again, no real effect - just 'fluff') and his shadow is winged (he's not), which is weird but again, just 'fluff'... Is it okay to use these in a PFS game since there is no real affect on the game from them?
Anyway - I hope this posts... I am getting a lot of posting errors today with 'paizo website not found', and losing whole posts.... so from now on, I'm doing a copy of everything I'm about to post, so I don't have to retype it if I lose it. Sigh...
Varian, I will allow those. Sounds fun. Prepare for a lot of Princess Bride jokes, though. Maybe I'll have one of the BBeG's named Inigo Montoya, just to mess with you.
Varian, yes.
Does the group kill the newcomer? Stay tuned to find out...
With it being easter weekend I don't expect a lot of movement. I am prepared to move you on if I see sufficient interest. The next phase is arriving at the camp and talking to the head person about the dig site and what they have found.
As always, the usual banter is welcome and appreciated,and I'd like you to use this time to integrate Varian into the group (without rushing it or having to do much later in mid story arc.)
Just a quick warning, Varian only just became a society member the last month or so, and was sent out to this g forsaken place as a first duty... So he knows almost nothing about what is going on here, as he has been in the battles between the ape men and not involved in the digging/excavation part.
So, how far we go is up to you. I am at home for the most part and bored for the next few days, so we'll see how it plays out.

i'm good to play today and tomorrow, even if it's just rp to integrate Varian into the group...
no Easter holiday for me, and Passover is over *grin*. I do have a game today from 10-4 pdt (tabletop game). but I'll be able to check in at lunchtime and again after the game. I hope I got the details right in my post, Brayden - let me know asap if i need to amend anything.
|
Will the GM get fed up with the group and start killing them off one by one? Stay tuned... ;)
I'm hoping for this to be a productive posting weekend for me, but things don't always work out like I hope. Thanks for being willing to press on! Huzzah!
--on an unrelated note, I'll get Amnur leveled as quick as I can because I believe he's level 2 now. Stonelord for the win!

So I think I've leveled Amnur correctly to Paladin (Stonelord) level 2. Here's the adjustments to his character.
+9hp (+5 half hd, +3 con, +1 fav class)
+1 bab (+2 total)
+1 fort & +1 will (6 & 3)
New Defense:
AC:21, Touch 12, FF 20
CMD 19 (anyone know if I add nat armor to cmd?)
+1 DR/adamantine
New Offense:
+5 melee
+3 range
+5 cmb
Skills:
+1 Climb (0)
+1 Swim (0)
Special Abilities:
Heartstone (Ex): At 2nd level, a stonelord’s flesh becomes progressively rockier. She gains a +1 natural armor bonus to AC and DR/adamantine equal to 1/2 her paladin level. The natural armor bonus increases by +1 at 6th level, and every four levels thereafter, to a maximum of +5 at 18th level. These benefits are halved when not touching the ground or a stone structure. This ability replaces divine grace.
Lay On Hands (Su): Beginning at 2nd level, a paladin can heal wounds (her own or those of others) by touch. Each day she can use this ability a number of times equal to 1/2 her paladin level plus her Charisma modifier. With one use of this ability, a paladin can heal 1d6 hit points of damage for every two paladin levels she possesses. Using this ability is a standard action, unless the paladin targets herself, in which case it is a swift action. Despite the name of this ability, a paladin only needs one free hand to use this ability.
Alternatively, a paladin can use this healing power to deal damage to undead creatures, dealing 1d6 points of damage for every two levels the paladin possesses. Using lay on hands in this way requires a successful melee touch attack and doesn't provoke an attack of opportunity. Undead do not receive a saving throw against this damage.
I'm leaving in an hour to run some PFS society, so I'll be out for the rest of the night. Do work, people! Do work!
I expect to have some content by the time I get back, and have something to work with :D
Thanks, Vari. Sorry guys. The wife is running a fever today, and almost passed out a few times, so I am taking care of the two little ones and her (while being sick, myself)
**Sigh**
No rest for the wicked.
I am going to try and get you set up for tonight, but it is unlikely as I have been pushing it all day and might be slated for an early bedtime tonight. If one of you wants to set it up and run it, I am completely cool with that. It's basically set up, the only thing is to plug in INIT and run the baddies (6 skeletons. One in each annex. Surprise, surprise.)
Otherwise I will set it up when I can, hopefully tonight or tomorrow (more likely).
**Double Sigh**
Just the battle. I'll pick up with the text afterwards. The battle should only last one or two rounds (one or two days worth) and by then we should be feeling a lot better (I hope.)
<<Hands GM keys over to Amnur for the battle>>
Careful, she can be tricky on the curves
I am back! Thanks for understanding, and for the help Amnur.
LEt's do this!
So, a quick thought. Any of you ever had any interest in doing a "realtime" game? We have a good group here, I feel, and think that it would be worth trying to get a realtime session going, either a chat game, or a full on video game for another scenario (or even a full blown game if it worked out).
Amnur and I have been kicking around the idea of doing a video game (which will be made much easier once Paizo has their VTT done, but wouldn't be that hard without it anyways...) for about a year now, and I would be down with trying a chat session, or even a google "hangout" video session, or whatever.
My feeling is that this is a great group, playing a "non-great" way to play.
Anyone have any interest in this? And what time zones are we operating with here? Amnur and I are both in the "mountain" time zone, for starters.
p.s. not bagging on the games we *are* playing... I enjoy playing with you guys, but just trying to improve the game we already have.
|
I'm in Mountain Time Zone, too.
If we were to do this, Tuesday or the occasional Saturday night would be my best possibilities.
On that note, thanks to GM credits and what not, Oriandor will be level 4 after this mission, so I'd probably play another character to keep in level with everyone (either a gnome Oracle of Nature riding an Axebeak or a Chelish wizard aiming to be a Hellknight).

I am not free every weekend, and Sundays from 5-7pm pst are out for me as I have another game on irc at that time. But I do have some Saturdays and some Sundays free - it just kinda depends (family/face-to-face games/travel/etc all come up from time to time, but I always know well in advance and can schedule around them)
Ori, I like the idea of you dropping down to match their level with a new character, that would be much easier to manage.
I'd really like to do at least a chat game with the group, maybe we can convince Mylvie to stay up super late with us, (or super early) ....
This is a really good group, but I would like to see the process streamline itself a little bit, just out of curiosity, to see if that will improve the game any.
Flori, missing you on the thread. Last post was 4/19. Check to make sure that it is updating properly for you.
YOU WON!!! Just to give you all an idea of the schedule I am working with for the rest of the week as far as reporting goes, I am packing tonight, to fly out to a wedding tomorrow (Brother in Law) and most likely won't have serious internet/computer access until saturday or sunday. Just giving you a heads up in case I completely go dark.

Back in town. Brother in law got married, hilarity ensued.
Here is the **Chronicle Sheet**
So what next? Would you all rather do a scheduled "real time" game, or do another PbP? Are we liking the group, and wanting to do another as the same group?
Personally I do not think I have time for a scheduled real time game. With work and summer kicking in I am just hoping I'll have time for another pbp. I am definitely enjoying the group, and am down with it staying together if the group is amicable.
Oh yeah. Varian, I need your PFS number, because I reported it for everyone but not you... :(
I'm down for doing another. I will be in the process of selling my house and moving during this next scenario, so there might be the occasional "out of the house this weekend looking for a new place to live" sort of stuff once in a while... if that doesn't sound like anything that would make any of you light rage infernos, then I would offer up my services. Otherwise, I am perfectly happy to step aside and run a character and let someone else run.
