Done, I didn't put page numbers, since I was using the PRD, but all of my stuff is from the core rulebook. The only exception was that I spent 2 cp on a wooden bowl and spoon that is not listed anywhere. I figured that would be approximately the cost for a fairly sturdy set.

Let me know if you have any questions.

@Aeshuura:

Here is what I've seen:

I'm assuming your race is human?

Point Buy is 25. You've only spent 18.

HP at first level is Max, plus Con mod plus Con SCORE. House rule.

Remember to record your action points (5+1/2 level)

It sounds like your Nationality is Varisi

Your ethnicity, it looks like, is Varisian

You can't have Lore Seeker if you aren't new to town. Lore Seeker is part of the Outlander trait. Just change this:
"The only place that he has found acceptance is in the town of Sandpoint, where he resides to this day..." to "Aeshuura has heard that the only place that his people can find acceptance is in the town of Sandpoint," And any other reference I might have missed to him having lived in Sandpoint before.

Geez, I don't know why I thought it was 15. (the 16 strength was because of the +2 for human.)

Okay, changed it so that my Nationality is as a citizen of Magnimar, and Ethnicity is Varisian.

Look over the changes and see if it looks good. I am assuming that I am starting with 0 xp?

@Aeshuura:

Wow. I'm genuinely shocked that you're already done.

Character approved!

You awaken in the courtroom, finding it to be empty...(except, of course, for the other people who are asleep. For simplicity sake, please ignore them)


Female Human Oracle (Heavens Mystery)/1

Allright, I believe everything is in order now.

APG and Adventurer's Armory items have been noted and page linked.


Are we simply assuming they've been there all along (asleep), as if they simply hadn't woken up til now?

Also, we're past that metal door now right? Can we have a map of section 3? (I'll have Demaiv look around)

Dark Archive

Whatever's clever Human Librarian, 5th Level

Section 3 Map

You are all back in the hall for Section 1, but nothing stops you from turning back round'. The gray squares labelled 9a/9b are cages you can clearly see into.

And yes, they have been asleep

Who do we have left again? I believe we're down to
Halgrak
Patrissa
Madge
Rekkart
Did I forget someone, or leave someone in who is actually gone now?

Zelaria, I'm going to go look at your entry now.

@Zelaria:

You list a -1 Str under your melee dagger to hit.

I'd allow you to take Craft: Tailored Goods instead of Clothing if you'd like to (it'd include other things like backpacks as well as clothing.)

Wow. Perfect, as far as I can tell. Okay!
You are golden, Character Approved!

Male Human Witch

I think you did. Killian? And I thought we only lost 2 to 3 so far. Was it the halfling that disappeared earlier? Otherwise, the gnome was stolen away and the hob-goblin died.


Madge must be the halfling (we haven't found out her name yet), but Killian is also alive.

Dark Archive

Whatever's clever Human Librarian, 5th Level

Oh yeah, Killian. *feels stupid*


Female Human Oracle (Heavens Mystery)/1

Fix'd, now I'll find out where this courtroom is, I suppose. :P

Dark Archive

Whatever's clever Human Librarian, 5th Level

Oh, no quotes in the gameplay thread if you can help it. That can become a scrolling monster that I don't wish to deal with.

Also, I'd love it if, while you're in different rooms, you could place the room's name in bold at the top of the post.


Female Human Oracle (Heavens Mystery)/1

Roger that.

Game starts in Magnimar actually

Ah, okay, I didn't catch that in the beginning of the Gameplay... >.< Okay, is there any inn that we were starting in in particular?

Dark Archive

Whatever's clever Human Librarian, 5th Level

No. It doesn't matter to me really. Also, try to keep long OOC comments in discussion. Like, instead of writing something and then editing it if you made a mistake, just delete your old comment. If you can.

*Eye roll* And here are more reasons why Paizo's restriction on not editing and deleting old posts is rather silly.

Owlbear Rodeo

Okay, will do!

Oh gosh guys! I'm sorry, you do still have your clothing and armor. *Blushes* Sorry I didn't mention that. You can say you didn't cast that spell Zel

Also, here is the map of section 1. You woke up in room number 1.

Section 1


Female Human Oracle (Heavens Mystery)/1

Or we can say that she cast it on herself. With Int 16 she's not simple. I don't think that Aesh's reaction would be much changed.

Dark Archive

Whatever's clever Human Librarian, 5th Level

Oh, I wasn't suggesting that she was. I was just saying I possibly had given you the wrong impression. Or not. Or, uh...

Um, I'll, uh, I'll just go stand in the corner now...

(Also, we can totally say that she cast it on herself)


Female Human Oracle (Heavens Mystery)/1

hehe. it's cool.

My first PbP here I quit among other reasons because my GM said that I didn't SAY that I cast light before I went off into the darkness on my horse, so I went into the darkness in my horse with no light. Int 14, standard action to cast a cantrip, and his answer was "you didn't say it, so it didn't happen, you can't get anywhere."

So I told him that I did not say that my character urinated or defecated either, but I assumed that she was not dying of kidney failure and told him and the crappy group where they could shovel their stuff.


Male Human Witch

Are you having them catch up with us? Or could we get a description of the new room?


Female Human (Varisian) Harrow Sorceress / 1

I believe he did give us a description of the next room in his last post. The first paragraph seemed to be for the other group and the second part, labeled section 3 was for us. I think...


Yeah, I didn't get the post the first time I read it, but as I understand it, our room is a sort of open-air prisoner viewing area, with the zombies (?) trapped across the bars from us.

Grand Lodge

Owlbear Rodeo

Zelaria, the largest doors are the open ones. I had to read the description a couple of times, but it seems that the other smaller doors are all closed... :)


Female Human Oracle (Heavens Mystery)/1

The clock stands between a set of impressive oak doors and a lone oak door of equitable splendor, identical to another set across the hall. The largest set of doors is at the south end of this long hall. They are open, letting the moonlight stream into the hall.

highlighted were the doors Zelaria was talking about. :P

Grand Lodge

Owlbear Rodeo

Ohhh, I see, now I have to read it again! ;p

---

So would that be the doors to rooms 3 and 4?


Basically each side of the hallways has a set of large double doors and a smaller, single door. The large open doorway at the end of the hall leads outside.

Grand Lodge

Owlbear Rodeo

So I am assuming that Zel and I emerged from the door to Room 1, and looked across to doors 3 and 4 with the clock in between them?

BINGO!

@Adanel: Indeed, I did give a description of 'room' 15. Because I'm blind, I hadn't seen ya'll post about going into said room, and I'm sitting here wondering "why aren't they posting?" as I respond to the other group. So I scroll up, and there are the posts! That's why it took so long and it was second.

@Zelaria: I'd like to think I allow back pedaling when it comes to posts, but I don't like assuming what someone does with their character. That is the disadvantage of PbP; an issue in game that comes up in real life that can be resolved in two seconds, takes a day or longer on boards, and can cause some drama because it is hard to read another's emotions. As a rule, assume I'm smiling and laughing, even when I'm being anal retentive. Also, I'm open to being challenged as a DM; if you don't like a ruling, we can discuss it.


Female Human Oracle (Heavens Mystery)/1

oh, believe me, the light thing was just the icing on the cake. He had an NPC force a sleeping draught down my characters throat, and after my character died another NPC tore her clothes open and left her corpse lying there naked. He thought it would be cute to resurrect my cloistered cleric and force a level of oracle on her instead of the standard level punishment. And to make things worse, he made a NG cleric a beacon of evil that carried a taint which made her visible from the shadow realm and all of Zon Kuthon's half dozen higher level followers, of which there were literally dozens when the group was level 3 and thought it was good writing.

I'm getting passed my anger with that group and that GM still, is how bad it was.

Answers to gameplay stuffs:

@Zella: Nah, they're gonna throw stones at you. I think that XP is rewarded if you overcome any challenge in any manner, so if you guys just turn around, close the door, and never go back...tada! Encounter overcome. Lesson learned? You don't have to waste your time and resources on every combat encounter.

@Demaiv: They're Zombies. Zombies that are going to throw rocks at you. Badly.

@Aesh: Indeed, the dust has been disturbed recently, by a very large group of people, and it would be stupid easy to follow the group's tracks, no roll needed.

Whatever's clever Human Librarian, 5th Level

I think the worst I've done here is charm Adanel. And because he hasn't acknowledged it, it hasn't even come up yet. I am running this exact same module elsewhere online, and when the player realized I'd charmed them, they did everything they could to fight the charm. *Head shake* This is why I hate charming PCs. Thank you Adanel for being a good sport about it.


Female Human Oracle (Heavens Mystery)/1

I've been charmed before at table, no problem. Big bad evil that was killing my friend, suddenly my best friend? No problem.

having an NPC shove a sleeping draught down my character's throat without any chance for a PC to step forward and say "no" was absolute bovine feces.


Male Human Witch

Alright, I'll get up a post here in a moment. Its Adanel so he'll be heading in to destroy them whether they have rocks or not.

As for the charm, it makes me regard her in a more favorable manner, it does not become his biggest objective in life. On top of that, it kind of just fell in line with his promise to protect everyone so it kind of lost a bit of luster with that.

With that said, of course he's going to help her, but he is currently doing so by trying to figure out what's going on.


Also, Patrissa hasn't really made any demands of Adanel other than a vague suggestion to have good ideas XD

Dark Archive

Whatever's clever Human Librarian, 5th Level

Yeah, I made her act the same way in the other game, and once I used that same key phrase "you might say you find her...charming," the player actually treated Patrissa WORSE than before, threatening to shoot her if she didn't stay downstairs when they went upstairs; said is was for her own good. *Rolls eyes again* One example of many.


Male Human Witch

Yeah, I picked up on your hint at the spell, but that spell only helps influence. Adanel has someone he cares for an attention from the fairer sex does not really sit well for him when he's use to being treated like a monster by most.

Dark Archive

Whatever's clever Human Librarian, 5th Level

I think it's this line that most player's don't like:

"You can try to give the subject orders, but you must win an opposed Charisma check to convince it to do anything it wouldn't ordinarily do,"

Fact of that matter is, Charm Person can make a player do something they don't like. And they do have to do what the charmer says if it isn't unreasonable, which is when I get fought against. Makes sense; people don't like being told what to do. I've found it's easier to tell a player to kill their fellow PCs than get the charmer a glass of water.


Male Human Witch

I will play it as it should be, but I can twist the intent if not made specific.

Have they only gone into one room, or do the tracks head in to different rooms? (I am not sure if they went into multiple rooms.)


Female Human (Varisian) Harrow Sorceress / 1

Switching the nick name from Zella to Dania (or dani) to make it easier.


Female Human Oracle (Heavens Mystery)/1

goodness gracious, hadn't thought of it, sorry.

In my old game, Zelaria got the nick Aria pretty quickly.

They went to every room except upstairs, but I'll say that if you guys don't go into those rooms, you can see the group standing outside of the doorway, and roll initiative, and go next round. New people, here is an old post's text about Init:

Spoiler:
FORUM RULING: WHEN COMBAT STARTS, I WILL TELL YOU THE OPPONENTS INITIATIVE. IF YOU ROLL HIGHER THAN THAT, YOU MAY GO RIGHT AWAY. I WILL WAIT 24 HOURS FROM WHEN COMBAT STARTS BEFORE SAYING YOU'VE HELD YOUR ACTION. IF YOU MISS A TURN, YOU MISS YOUR TURN, AND YOU DON'T GET IT BACK. SAME RULE HOLDS FOR ME, BUT ONLY AFTER EVERYONE WHO HAS OR COULD HAVE ROLLED HAS ROLLED OR NOT POSTED, THEN STARTS MY 24 HOURS. YOU GET IT UP TO THE MINUTE, NOT BEFORE. UNLESS YOU STARTED COMBAT, I WILL TRY AND MAKE THE OPPONENTS NOT ATTACK YOU IF YOU HAVEN'T ROLLED INITIATIVE YET. DO NOT ABUSE THIS KINDNESS.

In combat, I generally allow about TEN SECONDS worth of dialog on your turn, and FIVE SECONDS outside of your turn, for a total of fifteen seconds worth of blabbering, reasoning that Common, another language, can make this work. Or some other explanation.


Is Demaiv referring to Adanel as Sir? And did someone ever take the dagger he placed on the table or did he end up picking that up to?


Demaiv is talking to Rekkart in that last paragraph.

Grand Lodge

Owlbear Rodeo

It looks like Initiative order is:

Zelladania = 20
Adanel = 16
??? = 15
Aesh = 13
??? = 11
Zelaria = 6
Demaiv = 2

Is that correct?
