That did it! Thanks, guys!
@Shogunto: You could only post once per day? That could mean a lot of waiting... As an example if everyone can only post once per day and that time happens to be 23 hours after the post that is right before your turn then the whole game could stall for a day in combat. This gets much worse if this is the case for multiple people of course. I usually tend to try to post on the way to work, from work and then hopefully in the evening as well.
Though atm I am much more worried about Kejal seemingly disappearing. I sent him a PM, but there is no notifications for them so not sure that'll help much. Hopefully he is just busy moving.
I am fine with going to Oleg, in fact I would actually prefer that. I must admit I've played through the first book at least and someway into the second one IRL, while in Kingmaker I've started it 4 times but never made it past the first encounter... PBPs are fickle.
FYI if you've played kingmaker before it's not going to be the same I'm a fan of customization. YR is moving likely has no internet yet this was mentioned up thread don't worry.
To be blunt if you post 1 a day and you're dragging the pace of combat I'm just going to run your character. I've mentioned this before.
If someone completely taps out I have a 3-4 person waiting list. I was going to see how this paced before starting a 10th level Goleran Apocalypse game for most of them. Basically it's what happens is Reign of Winter, Wrath of The Righteous, part of Kingmaker, and Shattered Star all go wrong (big bad evil wins) within a month of one another. They get to start big and have an army. It will be a crazy game.
So I have back up players to come in if need be and if we loose too much off both groups we can unify.
This game is too awesome to fail.
Oooh, that sounds fun. Kinda makes me want to sabotage the shit out of this, not that I will been wanting to play kingmaker too long.
Um, I would like to mention just that I will be having 1 week holiday booked: starting 26th and will be back exactly one week later. I hope that its not so bad and will be able to get back in track.
1 week is quite a long time but after that, I am again able to fully post each day multiple times
Apologies for my extended absence - moving house was far more of a pain than I anticipated. I'll be back in full swing tomorrow morning.
@Kejal: Are you planning to continue the "background prequel"? I can understand it if you are too busy with moving and the game itself though.
I would like to continue doing that, yes! I'll get a post up for that as well tomorrow.
Yes, I'm usually posting like once a day, sometimes twice. But I don't think the GM ever said he'd need more than that? PbPs are usually slow paced anyway. In combat I might be able to do some more posts with the phone, probably.

Okay be aware that if it poses a problem with regards to pacing I'm going to feel free to take combat actions for your character. If you fall behind on the roleplaying element it will be assumed you're the quiet type.
I apologize if post expectations/ intentions were not clear. I'm not letting this get bogged down like some pbp this game is happening and I'll adjust as needed including re running recruitment to supplement drop out players. We will make to to book 6.

I love this absolute certainty, totally positive and I am behind this 100% Let's do this!

I agree, and have no issues with you running my character in combat to keep from slowing things down. I find PbP is difficult for combat anyway, because it's difficult to develop team strategies, which any of the characters would if sitting around a table or in real life. Looking forward to this one. I can almost always find time once a day to post, but it is often late at night after work before I do so.
I have no issues with that plan, either. Though I should probably say that since I live in Europe, my posting times aren't the same as in the U.S.
Im in south africa. So similar to UK times

I actually find that it is much easier to come up with team strategies in pbp as you got hours to read each other's sheets and discuss things in between every action. This doesn't deduct from playing time at all. In a tabletop game planning things would severely deduct from the pace of play.
I hope you won't have to bot me, but life can be hectic as times, so do what you have to do. I am in euro timezone as well. I try to at least post on the way to and from work and hope to get in a post(s) late in the evening/night as well.
Hadn't mentioned it but yes, sign me up for the botting if I'm slowing things up. Also, weird. I hadn't read all the plants I can empower. I can turn a strawberry into an acid bomb.
I'm going to be most active 9am-6pm M-F because of my work hours and the lasse faire attitude my bosses take towards the internet usage of the linux inclined tech professionals. Weekends will be sort of random. For example I took today off and went for a 3.5 hr run and I'm posting from a McDonalds while I drink an iced coffee.
Enjoy

Wish I had the energy for a run, or the will, or, you know what, nvm. I'm fine sitting here, this is too exhausting to think about.
the whole concept of cold coffee is somewhat disturbing to me :)

Welcome to how I feel about coffee in general. Give me a nice all natural beverage, like soda!
I personally don't drink coffee, and they sure rib me about that at work, but I have a deep abiding interest in any sort of cold beverages.
I pretty much drank no coffee before I start working. Even now I only drink it at work and I prefer it with loads of milk... I actually like cold coffee better than hot.
Blasphemy!!!
@Kejal: I was referring to where we supposedly met Gideon.
Not like it matters at all, but: Does Cheetah's Sprint even work in potion form? It requires you to use a full round action on the same round to drink it to have any effect and drinking a potion is normally a standard action. Besides I thought personal range spells couldn't be potions(though I've had GMs allow it in the past so eh, I am fine with that :))?
Too bad the herbalist went with the other group... Sadly I don't feel it's appropriate for me to respond before Solspiral does so my ability to post on the way to work is wasted.
Did you want me for something?
Yup, something to give the bandits to knock them out.
Unfortunately, I have to roll for what I find day to day with limited ability to preserve specimens, I simply couldn't knock them out, I could poison the heck out of them with hemlock though depending on Sol's ruling. If I could seep hemlock in their wine or something and have it be effective, I could make them all sick to the point where they would keep losing all but one of their constitution points until they saved.
Sap + sneak attack = knocked out //^^\\

I just have to say, I really like Beads' little spider emoticon, haha.
Much thanks //^^\\

This is my hand waiving the potion that just lets you run superfast... I've always ruled it was fine as a potion as you drink with move and take full run with standard.
Cool, that works :). I think you quoted wrong post though ;).
Can we use aid another/guidance to boost the posion DC?
yes
Reafil, Kejal and Wikiwik all got quite decent chance to succed at aid, though I guess Reafil sorta already moved past that point... If all three of you succeeded it would even go up two steps though...
too many cooks...
