Hrmmmm.... Let's do this then! Let's call an official week-long break, starting on the 22nd and continuing through the 28th. That will allow us to be away without worry. And we can start back up, knowing that we'll be a little slower with some people posting intermittently. And like Pippimi said, please have good botting instructions in your profile. (With example rolls, for bonus points!)
Just a reminder that we’ll be taking an official holiday break in about two days! That will line up perfectly with the end of Part 1, too! If you have to drop off earlier or come back a little late, that’s no big deal either.

That will work out nice, my holiday schedule just filled up fast and the timing is ideal.

That Wildwise augmentation may make this trip MUCH easier...
The soft purple fungus called wildwise attaches itself to your vocal cords and extends fine filaments into portions of your brain. It allows you to communicate in a general sense with animals and with magical beasts with an Intelligence score of 1 or 2. You can attempt Diplomacy checks to influence such creatures as well as understand in very vague terms information they try to convey to you. The information they give you usually consists of simple concepts such as “danger,” “food,” or “that way.

Cool! I'm going to have to spend out hiatus actually reading the gear section and seeing what is actually available.
I have plenty of cash and no immediate plans until next level at least for it, so I can chip in for whatever

Looks like y'all are preparing well for the jungle. But, I want to post the rules here to make sure everybody is on the same page!
Unfortunately, only a black hypopen removes Fatigue. Which ups the price considerably!

Every time I see that Jurassic Park clip I am expecting the recorder to kick in.

So, the new aonprod (which has starfinder info from various books) is down, and I don't have the Armory book. How much are black hypopens and how many should we get?
| Zoran Duvahl |
I was assuming consumables had the same restriction as other items so Brown was the only one we could buy currently. We just have to be careful not to be bitten by anything that looks venomous and note bite anything that could be poisonous. Heh.
| z45719 |
Good stuff. Sorry if I've been a bit absent. In addition to the holidays and travel both my kids got a stomach bug AND a nasty cold that we're all working through.
So my brain isnt so clear dealing with sickness and lack of sleep.
But we're all on the upside now, so hopefully a few days and it'll be back to normal.
| Clank Zappow! |
So, I've realized I haven't really bought anything this game. I should probably do that :P.
| Clank Zappow! |
I can grab some Life Bubble spell gems, but is there anything else that would be good to nab?
| z45719 |
Looks like I can not buy antitoxin or field rations. I'll still buy the batteries.
Lenny Shiroyuki
|
Why not (feeling like I missed something)?
| z45719 |
Fighting disease and caring for two sick kiddos (and getting no sleep) made my post unclear.
Lenny Shiroyuki
|
Gotcha. It left me thinking I shouldn't be able to, so wanted to clarify :D Thanks.
Hope the sick kids get better quick. I know how family-flu-volleyball goes. They get better just as they pass it on... and the circle of "life" continues :P
| Clank Zappow! |
Purchases: Defrex Hide Armor, Spell Gem: Comprehend Languagesx2, Spell Gem: Life Bubble x1, Survival Knife. With the "ammo" I bought another battery; who knows when we'll be able to recharge :)
| Zoran Duvahl |
So I am just...slowly getting internet in Japan. Sorry for my absence. I will be catching up soon.

Decided to bring this to discussion thread. Went through everyone's character sheet and unless I missed something, looks like Davrin's got the best survival at +6? :p So Davrin leads and the rest aid?
Suggest the first day we try Track first, and might be able to get a sense of the DC. We can then decide again for the 2nd day.
Lenny Shiroyuki
|
Seems logical. Does a compass (lenny has one) provide a bonus? He'd gladly lend it if so.
| Pippimi |
Tracking does seem safer to start with, though the rest of the team should be contributing another +4 of aiding bonuses on average, so our overall bonus with Davrin leading could be quite OK.

Finally looking this up: it unfortunately only helps piloting off-planets.
| Clank Zappow! |
Clank's perception is pretty terrible as well. Maybe double watches are in order?
| z45719 |
I'll be out of touch for the next day or so, shoddy cell coverage on the lake, ice fishing.
Should be back Sunday night, but as needed :)
Davrin Emalon
|
Nothing wrong with double watches!
There are three watches over the twelve hour day so who goes where?
1st watch:
2nd watch:
3rd watch:
Perhaps we could pair those with good perception with those ... uh who are less good?
Davrin - Lenny
Zulu - Clank
Zoran - Pippimi

No arguments here. The pilates didn't improve Lenny's eyes :P
| Zoran Duvahl |
I don't mind taking a shift with Pip. Should be fun!
| Clank Zappow! |
Clank's skills definitely aren't in the "I'm evading a herd of creatures with sheer athleticism."
I am pretty sure I'm going to take a level of Mechanic for the Exocortex for a 1x a day knowledge skill reroll. As the primary knowledge guy, if I (inevitably) fail a knowledge check, it's bad news. plus, +1 Attack, Skills, Long Arm / Heavy Armor proficiency seem worth the temporary setback.
| z45719 |
I always forget about my reroll.
| Zoran Duvahl |
Yeah, I think Ecocortex Mechanic is a great dip in this system.
| Clank Zappow! |
Good timing, as this weekend all three of my "once a month / every other week" games happen to coincide within the same 36 hours. It's going to be interesting.
Have fun with camp!
Lenny Shiroyuki

Yeah, definitely have fun with that.
I will be away on a camping/skiing trip the *following* weekend. I won't be completely dark, but posting will be limited that Saturday and Sunday morning.

Phew, what a weekend! Glad to be back.
Lenny, focus on your trip, we should be able to survive a few days without you! Also, Camping and skiing! Brrrr!
Also, Cellion, I cannot describe how thankful I am that you post the grapple rules every once in a while. It's always good as a reference and to get a refresher.
And yes, Zoran! I love broadway musicals and I just kept humming Little Shop while setting up that post.

Reminder that I'll be away and unable to post this weekend. Gone all day Saturday and most of Sunday, returning around 5ish US/Pacific time.
| Zoran Duvahl |
Zoran is about to hit the books so we can up our chances to identify things, lol. He doesn't want to look silly talking to a magical bush that doesn't qualify as animal or magical animal.
