OOC for RoW Group 2!
First couple levels gonna be all about throwing mass amounts of snowballs at people... Not many cold spells as a witch. Thinking about trading feats for PBS/Precise.. Ranged touch attacks kill spellcasting at low levels unless you get reaally lucky.
Hopefully I can bolster the front line. I'm fairly stout, and with a little money, I can be a real defender.
I definitely won't be on the front line. I'll let you handle that.
Checking in. Will be going full Invulnerable Rager Barbarian, so I'll be up front.
Regarding cold spells, I thought about proposing a boreal sorcerer, but then I started to worry that everything we fight later in the adventure might be cold-resistant.

Lot's of things likely will. Good thing at higher levels Winter Witches can ignore cold resistance + do pure damage ;)

What kind of AC boost can I get by using Aksum as a shield?
What about damage as a thrown weapon?
Checking in.
My initial plan is support. I'll be able to cast summon monster next level and will get augmented summoning at lvl 3.
After that it is continued support with a splash of cold blast later.

You can get plenty of damage if you throw me. If you mean damage to other people, then it gets iffy.
Still have some shopping to do
I assume everyone is aware that the game thread is up.
I didn't realize it had begun. Thanks.
dunebugg, would be obvious to someone from near Irrisen that Winter's Breath had been associated with the Winter Witches, or just that he's from the north? And how long has he been in Heldren? Just wondering how Anniksson would regard him, seeing him in town. Anniksson's probably only been in town a couple months or so.
Sorry! Forgot to announce gamethread was up! ;) Thanks D-Kal.
I believe Anniksson's ready to go. Please let me know if I've made any errors.

Well if you're from the north, you'd likely recognize him as a Snowcaster Elf. He does his best to hide his witchiness. He's been in Heldren for about 15 years.
I'll be on the front line as well I believe.

That's kinda what I suspected. In that case, Anniksson probably would have asked the butcher about him, but wouldn't have felt the need to seek you out.
Update incoming tomorrow. Sorry Worked late today, and had to fill my daughter's prescription afterwards. :)
I'm sorry, Pez. I think I'm going to go ahead and bow out of this before we get too far in. I think it's just a bit too far from core for me to be comfortable.
No problem. Sorry to see you go though! :)
@Others, Should I reopen recruitment for a frontliner, or do you wanna press forward with 5?
Also, let me know if I can change my style a bit. I tend to let the players drive the campaign forward, but if you want me to be more aggressive about the story, or less, or whatever let me know. :)
I am not really sure if we how many meele characters we have, but I would like to at least have one to take the hits. :D
The style is fine by me.
Also, Hege, I apologize if i stepped on your toes by speaking for your character's father earlier in the game thread! :) I don't mind if you wanna do it. I just am used to running npcs for everyone in my RL campaign.
I will try for another. I think you guys will need it. I will peep in the recruitment thread and message some people.
Not a problem, it is more fun for me if I don't have to make both sides of a conversation. I'll let you know if I want to control a NPC and we can work something out.
Just mark any npcs you control like this:
Daddy*
With an astrix.
Obviously as we progress into the campaign this won't be as big of an issue!:D
I've not played this before, so what did Anniksson mean by "a bit too far from core"?

I did change how the ulfen man was introduced. I usually use the AP's as a guideline, I don't like to constantly be double checking every word to see if I am following it exactly. I also usually give the npcs a new personality.
Oh I see. Well alright.
Greetings Sven! I'm the large rock fellow that you'll find making good camps and generally pummeling fey with stones.
Eh. Basically, 6 guys walk into a bar. The 7th one drops dead (almost).
Dying guy: "Save the lady!"
Party: "Okay! To arms!"
Oh. Right. We're kind of in flux, but I think we're basically all outside now. I'm guessing the dying guy is going to have to fill you in.
We shouldn't need to track right away. Probably not until we get into the woods to the Southwest. So should we fast-forward to then & start rolling Survival checks, or...?
Sorry, had a dinner party I attended tonight. I will be able to update tomorrow though!
Saturday will always be a quiet day for me.. I GM my Kingmaker game on sat evenings, so between homework + prep don't have a lot of time to post.
For combat, Post like this. Doesn't have to be in turn order.
Round 1
Standard Action: Attack zombie 1 with #2 pencil.
Move Action: Dance over to the treasure Chest.
Swift Action: Cast quickened knock.
Free Action: Say "It's all mine!"
Only include them if needed though.
Full Round Action: CHARGE! etc. works too.
The important thing is remembering if you used an immediate action prior to a round. That uses up your next swift.
Update coming tomorrow! sorry for the delay.
I suppose now we're just waiting to see if:
A) we need to roll more Survival to track
2) we find who we're looking for
3) we enter another combat or non-combat scenario of interest (like a burning house or mysterious statue, or perhaps just a cliff).
4) it gets dark and we need to camp for the night.
It's the (long) easter weekend, both my games haven't updated, but I didn't really expect them to. :P
Okay, sorry about the delay guys. Easter Weekend is now over though! I will be updating shortly.
As the ice melts, so does the activity in this game... GM where you at?
I have no problem with the gm rolling but it would be easier for him if everyone included a stat line under their character portrait. It can be done in spoilers if you want to mask it.
updated to show stats and skills
What's kicking?
Not the GM, it seems.
Fairly certain we've been abandoned..
Looks like he is more interested in playing in one than running one?
