No problem...take your time...just cheering you on!
It takes me about 40 minutes to post a thread, between the BBCode tags and the prose....
Wow. 40 minutes?!!
I cut and paste from a text document...I have the following commands ready to go:

Effects:
I personally don't think you need to do a status update every round..especially if nothing is changing. Often I'm posting from my iPhone and things take a bit longer so I cut a bit.
40 minutes, eh? I guess I should start reading those posts more. ;)
Oh, I feel much better.
Nothing like crits to erase hard feelings.
Very nice...crit heaven!
Ten minutes to post, 30 minutes to go through Pazio losing my post and me logging in again and getting to the right place. I do have a text file of old posts to make the BBCode faster, but I still like to write out what I'm doing in real time to add that personal touch to the posts.
I also hit "Preview" sixteen times or so to proof the text before I hit "Submit Post".
Oh, I feel much better.

It looks like you've some goblin stuck on your longspear there, Kast. You might want to take a boot and get it off.
Well done everyone. Much better drama than my real life these last few days.

Snide? SNIDE?!? ME?!?!
Listen, Chris (if that is your real name), I don't mean to be snide...I'm really more playful. And snide. Uhm, I mean, poignant...yeah, I'm poignant. Not snide.
And remember, Kast really likes Zees...deep, deep, deep, deep down in the bowels of the bowels of the bowels of his heart...he wishes the best for him.
:)
To the guys reading 'sulky Dorin' on the IC thread: IT'S JUST ROLEPLAY.
See you tomorrow.

Lol. Of course...so is the 'bad blood' betwixt me and Zees.
I just gotta figure out how to respond, if at all.
Keep rockin' it. We'll keep up and have fun with it (speaking for myself, not for Zees, who is often the wet blanket) ;).
Good news, bad news, Danaris.
I was grabbing the goblin's bow for you. However, I just realized it's probably a short bow and I see now you only have access to the longbow.

Not only that, it's likely to be a small short bow. :(
I'm pretty much guessing that unless you like small, short, and makeshift stuff, the goblins' loot will be pretty much worthless. Goblins aren't known for carrying coin, either.
Yeah, I do longbows. I have one. Danaris just didn't bring it with him to the festival. He's a priest, not a warrior and walking around with a weapon just didn't seem festive.
Besides I've decided that Danaris became a cleric not to adventure, but to minister to the people of Sandpoint. He's pretty reluctant about all this combat.
@Danaris: Malcolm will certainly try to help his friend see the benefits of his skills in situations that demand his attention.
I think someone needs to give Zees a hug and tell him everything is going to be okay. I nominate Kast (obviously).

Uhm...you want *me* to hug Zees? Uh, sure...let me scrape together a few gold coins for a set of spiked armor first, k?
:)
All of you are able to equip yourself with your previously bought equipment but shops are obviously closed with the exception of Savah's Armory which reopened espcially
Kast will be asked to help the injured and then since he has already done guard today will be able to go to his party : after which , he won't be able to do much of anything till morning ... Malcolm and Gar won't be in great shape either . As for Dorin , it all depends on whether he drinks all the congratulatory drinks that are pressed on him by the grateful citizens
So the only guy not at the party is Zees. Where's Zees? He's scribing a scroll, for crying out loud!
You see the difference between a wizard and a sorcerer, Zees? Sorcerer = life of the party, never has to worry about re-learning spells every day, has all this free time. Wizard = nose stuck in books.
Just kiddin'
As for equipment, Dorin has scraped together an adventurer's backpack and his signature gauntlets over the years at Sandpoint. He doesn't have much left (15 gp) for anything else yet.

You laugh now, but just wait until Robin sticks you all with a -2 for being hungover.
Dorin looks at the door to the White Deer. "I, uh, told the cook where I was going....I think Ameiko will let me go. I'll go with you to the Cathedral and wait for Kast and Zees."
I'll call that bluff. :-)
Sense motive
Thank you son, and please convey our thanks to Sir Foxglove.
Malcolm turns to Dorin and Danaris. Well, it appears as if we have been rewarded beyond a mere Boar Hunt! I suggest that we divide the reward when we are all together later at the Cathedral.
I'm keeping a spreadsheet of Dorin's advancement, equipment, etc, it wouldn't be hard for me to keep a 'treasure' tab on the spreadsheet.
300 gp / 6 people = 50 gp each. Is the cleric going to guilt us into giving some of the money to the Cathedral for rebuilding/charity? ;-)
Alright. Dorin's doing it!

300 50 LinkHmmm....BBCode doesn't really lend to tables.
Thanks Dorin! Could not see it yet on your profile, but I am sure you will figure it out.
I was trying out different codes. Look at my profile now, under the spoiler "Party Treasure Record" on the right side.
Works for me!
Wait. What?!
You talked Danaris into falling on his sword?!
Was that just so you could his share of the loot?!?
I'm not sure if I should be impressed or running away.
So, *that's* how the Church of Abadar makes its money. And Malcolm takes his job very seriously!
::Kast slowly backs away from Malc with his loot.::
-Kast
It's those merchants! They can talk you out of anything. You sign a contract, not noticing the fine print and–bam!–they've got you. Yeah, yeah it doesn't seem fair. You owe them all your gold, any magic items you find, and all they gave you in return was a hand me down long sword. But try to bring that up and they start yelling about free markets and buyer beware.
Abadar's the first step on a short journey to Asmodeus.
That why you should stick with Erastil. Small communities. Living off the land. Face to face interactions. Your neighbor uses some high-falutin' legal muckety-muck to steal your land. You just smite the jerk. All your other neighbors will applaud your actions.
And your communities stay so small you can never deal with the large-sized problems out there, like giants, monsters, or standing armies. What this land needs is a strong leader that can unite all the cities and communities under an iron fist, and protect the people from any outside enemies, no matter their size! A legal system for everyone! And a huge million-man standing army that can meet any challenge! With a hereditary leader to ensure the same ideals live on throughout the ages!
Ahhhhh, yes! All of my local family friends. Capitalism...the key to everyone's happiness! By Abadar's balls....I love this PC!
robin, my backstory has Dorin making his (ordinary but cold iron and alchemical silvered) gauntlets at the Red Dog Smithy - any need to change that to Savah's Armory? I went for crafting-by-proxy rather than off-the-shelf. (I'll take the skill points later.)
More spoilers.
I don't think the Chopper and the fire are related. I'd have to roll my Knowledge:Local, but right now Dorin is just thinking "the goblins are becoming one big tribe to harass us", not "someone from town is doing this". (Skirting as close to PC knowledge as possible without metagaming or using prior knowledge.)
The boar hunt from Foxglove sounds like a good way to see if there are any goblins wandering out there.
Robin, Danaris, Dorin
Gar will go back to the shipyard, fed and happy. And looking forward to a little fun in the woods soon. If he hears any trouble he will come running. Otherwise he will look for the others around dinner time at the tavern, if he is not fetched before then.
Wait, Gar doesn't know about the payola from Foxglove? I foresee...problems.
"Hey Gar, this guy we saved yesterday gave us 30 gold - that's five gold each!" :-)
I'll be without a computer/phone for the next 24 hours. Feel free to drag me along if needed.
The current Sheriff roleplay: guys, if I understand correctly, Titus Scarnetti won't be back until tomorrow evening. The Sheriff's not leaving for Magimar until after that. So we can still do the boar hunt in the next 24-32 hours, then stay in town for the rest of the week to do deputy duty. The Sheriff's going to ask that we not do our usual work/duties, so all we need is a schedule of who's the guy(s) doing the round-robin of the town entrances once an hour or so. If something comes up, well, we're the deputies, not the guards at the town walls.
Since I'm playing the 18-year-old, somebody take charge before the Sheriff gets short with us.
ok, let's work that angle

Not sure my character will agree, but I'll play it out in character.
We'll see what happens.

Ow.
Feels like hurting. :(
Yo All--
I'm torn here what to do. My character is strongly against going on the boar hunt as he feels a greater obligation to the town/himself. However, I know the axiom of "don't split the party" and don't think it should hold true here: I'm willing to forgo any reward/XP whatever for the sake of my character.
I don't want to be a pain or a stick in the mud on this. It would just be very out of character for me to go.
Danaris, you should definitely go. Your god would command it!
While I hope there is no huge goblin attack on you guys during the boar hunt, my character wants to do the right thing.
If there is major trouble, I can hope that you'll come back to get me before moving on, but understand if you move forward without me.
Bring me back some bacon, eh?
Good luck on the hunt.
I understand completely, and it is admirable that you are staying in character. I expect it to be a short trip, and we will miss you being there.
Robin,
I'm all spun around now. Please verify that Mr. Foxglove just needs notice today, but the hunt itself is just a day trip with no sleep over.
Thanks.
