OOC discussion for our Kingmaker campaign here. Welcome all who made it in!

Let's make a kingdom...

"Hallo, how's it goin'?"

A scruffy looking young halfling arrived, escorted by a constable.

"Constable Cecil says I have to get out of town until I learn to be a proper halfling. I guess you guys are the squad he was talking about?

"...wait...aren't you the one the Goblins call Lillith the Mean Girl? You sure scared the heck out of the Mosspukers...they never wanted to patrol in your territory."

"If I hadn't been 'rescued' it would still be my territory. Good to see someone in this group knows of my reputation." She holds up a small cup. "Tea? It's been a while since Mr. Rypt and I had decent company."

Nazdip accepted the cup, unsure if it was a beverage, a potion, a trap, or a strange pet. Sniffing it, he tentatively dipped a finger in before tasting a sip. "It looks like swamp water, but tastes like flowers. Is it magicky?"

"Not yet. But give me time."

Muroi sheepishly and looking down says "Hello everyone"... "I am Muroi".

"Mr. Rypt? I think he called himself Muroi."

"I was not talking about Muroi, but rather my friend here." She says, holding up a very creepy looking doll. "Mister Cadby Rypt has been with since I was a child. He's been quite helpful."

"I don't believe I caught your name, and if we're all being put together it seems like the first thing to do would be introduce yourself."

"They call me Nazdip Stinkblade. I am a Mosspuker Goblin but also a halfling. I came to the city to try to find out about halflings."

Muroi stays quiet, looking what is going on around him. He opens wildly his eyes when sees the doll. It is for sure a very creepy looking doll, but at the same time it is fascinating. "So, is it Mr. Rypt? Nice to meet you." Then, Muroi, turns his sight to the person who takes the doll and ask "what´s your name?"

English is not my first language, however I´ll do my best. Thanks for let me play

"Lillith Leagallow." Lillith tells Muroi before offering a cup of tea. "Would you like some tea while we wait? I have a feeling there will much discussion here, and a refreshment will make the time pass quicker.."

"Thanks Lillith." Muroi takes the cup of tea and draws a smile on his face, trying to hide the blush on his face.

A halfling decked in what looks to be piecemeal scale mail approaches the group mounted atop a saddled wolf. Seeing the group, he brightens, waving a mailed hand in the air in greeting. Stoping just outside of the circle, the armored halfling dismounts and says, "Hello there! I am Sancho, and this is Pip. It is good to see that the Swordlords had some sense to allow a group of us to take up this charter." Those familiar with the ways of wolves notice that this halfling's wolf is particularly well disciplined, laying down to rest as his rider talks. "Mind if I join you? I don't have much to offer, but I am willing to share what rations and water I have."

Nazdip instinctively puts a hand on the hilt of his dogslicer, and backs away warily. "You sure he's friendly? Never saw a wolf who didn't want to eat a Gobby."

Muroi sees the reaction of Nazdip and quickly says"Welcome Sancho, My name is Muroi." I am impressed with the wolf, I have never been close to one. "I like your wolf, it looks so obedient and disciplined."

Seeing Nazdip's reaction, Sancho moves between Nazdip and Pip and cautiously responds with, "And I have yet to see a goblin that looks so much like one of my own kind. Besides he is not a pure bred wolf, but a hybrid. I assure you, while he does eat meat, he doesn't much like the taste of humanoid flesh."

"Oh...like goblindog but not ugly."

Nazdip fishes around in his pack. Eventually he surfaces with a salted, dried lizard. He approaches the wolf hybrid cautiously..."here pip...you want a treat?"

Looks like we're just waiting on Odo.

Once everyone's here, I think I'd like to start with a bit of a prologue, before you've officially been given the charter (though you all already know about it and are on your way). So while I like your introductions here, you'll get the chance to do it for real in the game thread ;).

"Oh, forgive my rudeness. My name is Terri Riverrun."
Terri looks at the doll, with mixture of puzzlement and barely constrained mirth.
"My, he does look fearsome. He must knock all of the little pixies dead."

After Sancho shows up.
Terri turns to Nazdip.
"You haven't heard? When ever a halfling is riding wolf, it's the halfling you need to watch for."

Do not underestimate nature's power. The halfling that just appeard said, patting the wolf with no hesitation in his actions. Ogo Tealeaf, at your service... with a more silent voice, more to himself whether he wants it or not.

Looks like everyone's here! Look forward to our game-thread appearing some time tomorrow.

Gameplay thread is up! Go at it!

I suppose we don´t know each other.

Nazdip walks up to the podium, and tries to get the attention of the portly man. Failing, he turns, grabs his greatsword, and takes a huge overhead swing, striking at the podium.

"Now that I have your attention, WHO IS IN CHARGE HERE?"

He returns the sword to his back, and tries to catch his breath.

*golf clap*

You would have gotten along quite well with my halfling monk, Dric "The Quarter Orc" Ghawn.

Smashing things and shouting, aka "Goblin Diplomacy"

Setting things on fire needs to be in there somewhere, as does singing creepy songs that rhyme.

Nobody expects the halfling inquisition!

Well between Nazdip and Terri I think we've got two out of three. I can totally see Terri break out into a jaunty tune about how her latest sneak attack target squeals like a little girl.

EDIT: I just realized that I've played with one of you guys before. Hey Dragonborn3, how's Enall doing.

I'd join that song just to add teh creepy.

Leaf? Wow, I did not realize who you were! He's doing fine. Since the campaign seems to have stopped he's living it up with Mimay.

Cool, I'm sad to see the game get put on hold, probably indefinitely, but still, I had fun and I'll probably keep the character around for something else.

And if we do happen to break out in a song and slay number, I'll be happy to have Lillith's accompaniment.

Odo, I don't see a CMD anywhere on your character sheet. Can you update that please?

Just as a heads up, I'll make as many rolls myself as I can to keep the game moving faster, including initiative, saving throws, knowledge (and many other skill) checks, etc. That way we avoid losing 2 days asking for a roll and then getting the result.

Any time you'd like to make a skill check, feel free to offer it and roll yourself, just note that I won't be asking for them.

Great map!

I feel kinda bad for anything that decides to step into my threatened square this round.

Yep, and here I was hoping to get a good sneak attack in. Congrats on teh crit by the way.

I'll try to get you some flanking next round :)

Odo, please list your domain abilities on your character sheet. Icicle is a ranged touch attack and will need a roll - if you don't get to it by the time I update I'll go ahead and roll for you.

Also, I still don't see CMD anywhere on your sheet.

Ok, done...

Range touch attack:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

I can't believe I missed that, thanks for reminding me and for your patience.

Woohoo, PM's now available on the paizo forums. :)

Sorry guys (especially Terri) I had a bunch of nasty rolls. Hopefully we'll get you back on your feet quickly. At least you guys took one out too.

Give me just a minute to get the map updated.

I'm trying to end up at the end of the round in charging distance of Lanky, so that's why I specified that 5' step. If the dog dies, then I will move to get within charge distance of Lanky, wherever he moves., more than a 5' step if necessary (don't want to take more than a 5' step if the dog is threatening me in melee). I also want to end up not adjascent to any allies so that my goblin foolhardiness kicks in. :)

Though actually, come to think of it, a charge can be a double move, so as long as I end up between 15 and 35' from Lanky I should be fine to charge next round.

Looks like we have 2 people with CLW and Lillith with stabilize (if it's prepared) so hopefully Terri will be okay.

It's prepared. Always a nice spell to have around!

I figured it would make sense to play out my 'default' action in the gameplay, and talk about changes that would have to be made depending on the actions of others here, so that hopefully most possibilities are covered before GM finalizes the round.

I guess for AoO's we would probably normally just assume they get made, and from here on GM can just roll them for us in the summary with whatever weapon we're wielding at the time?

That works for me. I have most of your stats all laid out in a speadsheet for easy reference if I need to do so.

And yes, it's entirely appropriate to suggest alternate actions here if you'd like.

Sorry guys (especially Terri) I had a bunch of nasty rolls.

No worries. Not the first time I've had a rogue be on the wrong end of a hard hitting attack. I'll spare you the gory details.

Did we lose Sancho?

I think we may have.

Loot distribution:
For the loot, a policy one group I'm in uses that is very fair and works really well:
When we get equipment drops, anybody who wants can use the stuff until we get a chance to sell our pending inventory.
Stuff like wands should get given to people who can use them for the team.
Other than that, once we get a chance to sell (which normally nets 50% of value), we:
1) Figure out what the whole lot would sell for
2) Anybody can 'buy' equipment from the group for the same sell rate of 50%.
To do this, they take the equipment and subtract the discounted cost from their money (or their share of the rest of the payout). So one person buying something from the inventory doesn't change the amount of gold everybody else would get, since they're just buying it for the same as what we would sell it for anyway.

So, in other words, whoever needs the current equipment can go ahead and start using it, and when we sell it off, they pay for it out of their share of the profits (or even gold in their pockets, if what they want to buy is larger than their share of the sale). That keeps things more fair for those who need to buy more exotic equipment and don't get what they need from drops.

I'm fine with whatever you guys agree on.

I guess it'll partly depend on how easily we can actually sell stuff, and get to a town where we can buy stuff. The system I usually run with worked great in Westcrown but I don't know how often we'll have access to an economy. :)
