Sorry, this was a discussion we finished via pm, so I feel I can safely answer for him. Jamarcus speaks English and basic taldan. Mostly it's street taldan.
Heading out shortly so I'll post when/if I can.
Grimkell - no worries regarding names; I'll keep it in mind =) As for teamwork feats, Coordinated Shot only requires one person to be using a ranged weapon. However, since the person in melee doesn't get anything from it, I can just pick it up with solo tactics and use it for a pretty reliable +1 to hit. ;-) The rest of the list looks pretty good, and I'll pick up a few!
Jamarcus... this is going to be very, very interesting. Gotta say I'm looking forward to the party interactions!
So, Theora's possible thoughts on those who've been in Heldren a while:
Grimkell: "Lovely young man; I remember when he and his father first came into town. Tells a wonderful tale, he does, and he's put all manner of heroic notions in my young Ambrose's head - I'll have to give him a stern talking-to about that! I doubt he has much time for an old woman like me, though. I wonder where his father's gotten to - perhaps he could use a bit of widow's wisdom?"
Gii: "Oh, the new fellow with the wolf? Yes, I can't say I've spoken to him much - he's rather focused on his goal, and seems to keep to himself. I've been meaning to invite him in for a nice cup of tea, but the opportunity never comes up. Some think he's lonely; I think he just enjoys being left to his own thoughts. Besides, that wolf follows him everywhere - better-trained than most dogs I've seen, it is!"
Lars: "Oh, he's got secrets, that one; you can see it in his eyes! Not that I've asked him about them; way I see it, he keeps them secret for a reason. Not entirely sure where he's going, though - most people here get settled into small-town life, but I get the feeling we'll wake up one morning, and he'll have slipped away in the night. Let's just hope he doesn't take our coin with us when he goes!"
Mirri's new, so Theora hasn't quite formed her opinion of her yet, and I'm not sure how long Jamarcus has been in town for.
Anyway, time for me to mosey on over to the gameplay!
Oh, and GM. On a whim, I'd like to give Theora a pet raven, for flavour purposes - I believe they're 2gp or some other pittance. Would that be alright, or would it be seen as emergency rations/an easy emotional target/any other form of horridness? ;-)
@Grimkell - I'm also by Mirri's stand, were you referring to me when you spoke or someone else?
I seem to have forgotten a line specifying that Grimkell is speaking to Mirri (just changed it). My goal was not to ignore Jamarcus!
No worries, wasn't sure if you were describing yourself or someone else in that last line. All good!

Yes, sorry, that's what I meant. Teamwork feats about archery are only good for the archer character. Too bad...
Just waiting on Gii. Then I'll move things along.
Sorry, gonna post now. Long day at work.
No problem. I just like to make those things clear because I've noticed a lot of pbp games fail when the gm is waiting for someone out something and the players are waiting on the gm. So, if I'm waiting on something, I will tell you, and I hope it doesn't sound like I'm harping.
Another thing, I've been trying to figure out what I'm going to do with leveling. I know for sure that I will do it based on story and not xp. The big thing I'm looking at is using the staggered advancement from pathfinder unchained. We've done it in my rl game and it works excellently there. It makes leveling feel more natural and also speeds it up. I'd like to try it on pbp, but I'm worried that it may bog things down. Any thoughts or concerns from you?
Staggered advancement doesn't really seem like an issue, if you let us know when we advance in discussion, I'm sure we can all tweak our character sheets in a matter of minutes.
I would not mind, I've been wanting to try out some of the new systems in the Unchained book.
To be honest, the staggered advancement system is the one part of the Unchained that I like the least. It just seems like too much book keeping (and I would be afraid to make mistakes). However, if you tell us what to increase and when to increase it, it should not be a problem.
@Jamarcus: you meant Grimkell on your last line, didn't you?
@Grimkell - Ninja edit :)
Funny note, Lars - Theora is actually taller, so that whole "towering over [her] and her patient" thing miiiiight not work so well :p Just a minor observation that made me chuckle.
Also, I'm liking Jamarcus more and more. "Funky-ass demon powers", ha!
I actually assumed that Theora was kneeling down to check on the man, so the standing Lars would tower over them if that was the case.
Ah, I see there was some confusion. The way I read it, the stranger is actually still on his horse, so Theora was trying to help him down. Nobody's kneeling.
Tis all minor nitpicking, though, and insignificant in the grand scheme of things. :-)
The grand scheme of things which probably include us being routed by witches...I can't wait ;)
Well it seems like we have a case of Schroedinger's stranger.
It seems like he's on the ground, on his horse and being carried to the tavern at the same time, all while being observed at different locations :)
Should we just say that he's currently being carried by Lars and is on the way to the Silver Stoat?
Reading between the line and filling in the missing parts:
Theora goes to the man and heals him while he is still mounted. Still haven't recovered, he slips down and his caught by a few villager. Theora is worried and bows over him. Lars helps the man up and directs him toward the inn (Silver Stoat). Gii and Matias joins them. Grimkell checks it all and goes for the inn.
There! Simple fix!
+1
In the end I just chose to handwave it. It was not so big a discrepancy that it couldn't be handwaved.
Just so you know, I am going camping this weekend. I probably won't be able to get another post in till Sunday or so.
Its nice to escape into nature from time to time. Have fun.
Don't get eaten by a bear!
Indeed, enjoy your time in nature.
@Gii and the others: maybe wait for GM Jammin to provide answers to the questions asked to the ulfen before leaving. I somehow have the feeling he might provide good suggestions!
Yeah, fair. He can always stop us, it's not like we ran out of the building.
I did not mean to kill the discussion, just tried to slow us down in case we have follow up questions for the ulfen.
I know my last post does not take into account what lars and theora said, but I will make up for it in a later post!
Hah! Can't mess with the classics.
Welcome back!
Grimkell is ready to move out. However, will anyone be buying cold iron weaponry?
Didn't plan too, if I'm that close I'm in more trouble than I want to think about.
I did add an artisan's tool kit for my jewelry crafting, didn't think about it before we started, gold is deducted and everything.
Gii's Longspear is already made of Cold Iron. :)
Jamarcus still doesn't understand much about they fey and just wants to punch things :<
Lars is broke, all this time living frivolously hasn't taught him much about saving I am afraid.
Oh, and GM. On a whim, I'd like to give Theora a pet raven, for flavour purposes - I believe they're 2gp or some other pittance. Would that be alright, or would it be seen as emergency rations/an easy emotional target/any other form of horridness? ;-)
Just restating this, because I forgot about it and I'm guessing it was overlooked. >.>
Also, I'll probably buy 20 cold iron arrows. Since cold iron costs twice as much, that would be 2gp for 20. Unless anyone thinks I should buy more?
Sorry, yes. No problem.
Haha, it's fine. I actually forgot all about it until I had the idea 'again' earlier today. >.>
Lol. Yeah. I had forgotten too.
I have this problem when it's no big deal, I look at it, and think, Yeah, that's fine. I'll be sure to tell them once I finish posting this other thing. Then it just slips my mind.
lol. So now we know: no answers from Jammin' = good news!
@Theora: I will move Theora for you.
@Everyone: not all gave their names to Grimkell when he asked (guessing not everyone noticed the question), so I took the liberty of assuming that they had. If it bothers anyone, Grimkell will stop calling them by their name.
Actually, only you can move your character Theora. We will have to wait for Jammin.
Sorry about that. I wasn't thinking about how that would affect those posting from phones. Restrictions are removed and Theora is moved.
Can't move my token either.
Sorry for the inconvenience. I'm hoping to use my tax return to buy either a small laptop, or a better tablet, so I can access Roll20 someplace other than home, which I'm wanting to spend less and less time at.
