I'll be out of town today and tomorrow as well, I may be able to post, but if you're waiting on me then just feel free to bot me.
After consulting my primary sources. :)
I have four potions from the backpack here.
I don't think they were ever identified, or if they are my search isn't revealing it. Those are a cure light, a lesser restoration, and two vials of holy water.
And there's another cure light from the cultist corpses the party found here.
One of the two CLWs was consumed Saito here. So you've got one left.
Just a heads up, I'm back now.
does anyone object o Yridhrennor shoving that potion down Theran's throat?
IMHO, you honestly don't need to ask that question.
cheers

There'll be more potions; there's only one Theran.
Was in a game once that had peeps who very miserly with their potions. dude was actually angry with me when i used his potion of cure light wounds to save HIS PC's life. Said that if he'd wanted to be saved, he'd ahve done it himself.
so, it never hurts to ask.
Agreed! Just do it.
Doned!
You may absolutely shove a potion down my throat. But will you call me tomorrow?
As for hoarding potions, as a GM if I think they've got a lot of consumables, I'm not going to drop more because they don't need them. If they use them, then it's something they value and there might be a couple extras.

Yikes! Did you reply "not only will I refund the cost of your potion, but I'll put you back into negative HP free of charge?"
Just watch out for potions found on alchemists. There's a second level infusion that lets you drink the potion and then spit it back into the vial to be used again.
Naw, but the next time he was in the negs, I walked away from him. He was upset the healer didn't tend to him either.
The group broke up soon after

I knew this was all a scheme to make me crap more potions. I will not be deceived!
I'm back, sorry for the delay, going to bed soon but I'll catch up and post tomorrow.
I just wanted to post here to make sure that our IC argument is okay with everybody. I think it's good roleplaying, but I want people to speak up if it's making any of the players uncomfortable. It's especially important in PBP where you can't read people's body language.
Well said - I'm fine with it, a bit of disagreement is no bad thing RP-wise.
As far as Abelard's concerned, they had the chance to surrender, they didn't, now they take responsibility for that decision.

As far as Steave's concerned, they don't detect as Evil and were defending their home. The rest he has said in Gameplay.
cheers
That brings up a good point: Samnel, how are you playing Detect Evil? Under RAW, it only pings if you have an evil aura (cleric, anti-paladin), or at least 5 HD. Are you going with that, or does anyone ping as evil if they've got the "E" in their stat block?
Apologies if this has been asked before.

I've been resolving it by the table on the PRD. Aligned undead or outsiders will always ping, as will any NPC that has an aligned aura class feature. Ordinary cultists would not ping unless at least 5 HD.
What those results mean can vary character to character and religion to religion, of course. Knowledge (religion) checks can dig up official dogmas and relevant arguments on the issue.
That's what I thought - so these mongrelmen could well be Evil (and probably are, given their worship of Baphomet and evidence of blood sacrifice!), just low enough HD not to ping.

I'm a sucker for moral complexity. :)
My on-again, off-again homebrew project involved a world where every divine cast detect evil and it revealed a true and correct result...given the theology of the caster. So for most people it would ping the usual stuff, but also catch anybody anathematized by the main religion and/or practitioners of religious movements it considered evil even if the difference didn't involve something we'd usually see as an ethical matter.
Then I made most of the religions ethically diverse with a mix of makes-sense-to-us morals and more esoteric concerns that either only made sense in their particular frameworks or were clearly wrong or arbitrary by our standards. The dominant religion of the setting believed that only humans were ensouled and all else were a mix of monstrous beastman, devious fairies, damned infernalists, or divinely accursed. Halflings were the latter, imagined as humans who had through some ancient perfidy earned the eternal wrath of the gods. Thus they were marked, diminished, and separated from the fellowship of humanity for all their generations to come.
But that kind of thing is probably a bit demanding for a regular D&D/PF game, unless religious politics are the whole point. I like the idea, but I'm not totally sure I'd want to run Divinity School: The Boot Leathering. :)

That is awesome!
Oh my word...
Sounds like humanis policlub/Alamo 20k from Shadowrun meets Kafka! Yeesh.

The main human religion also had good points. It would have had genuinely evil antagonists from which it really did protect people as well as people who were more its victims...and victims who decided to take the fight back to them. But it would have been pretty hard to play a non-human in areas where it had cultural hegemony. I envisioned some halfling ghettos (since they're still half-human and might potentially be cured some day) but not much for other typical PC races.
Still on guard duty, which is why I am not posting much in the gameplay thread.
Just wanted to let you know I'm still in even though I not posting in gameplay everyday=)
Let me be more precise, Steave will delay until he can see, i.e the map is revealed, into the room.

Noted. With Theran's light it will be as soon as the door opens.
Some fine coordination over in the fight just now. Steave ate up all my AoOs. :)
Damn. I wonder what exotic resistance this skeleton has. Usually bludgeoning is enough.

From the green eyes and robes, plus that it seems to know how to use the glaive pretty well, Theran thinks he faces a huecuva. Priests who curse their gods sometimes come back as such creatures. He thinks that he needs magic or silver to have full effect on it with force of arms.
Just a heads up, I'm going out of town tomorrow morning, and internet access will likely be sketchy at best, so feel free to bot me if I'm holding things up.
I'm at a conference this week with limited time to post until Saturday. Please DMPC me
cheers
Ended up with a busy yesterday. I'll have resolutions out this evening.
Is the bottom group aware of Saito's combat?

nvm. Reread the post
Not sure if Galin's back yet or not. I'll give him a day and then bot if necessary.
Also I'm going to try to be better about saying when I'm waiting on something in particular rather than leaving everyone wonder if I've vanished on you. :)
Sorry, wifi was really spotty so I was posting when I could, which sadly wasn't very often. I'm back now though.

Bad wifi happens. No harm done. :)
You aren't using hero points? That sucks. :(

No hero points, sorry.
But you'll get mythic soon enough.
My family is taking a week vacation without Internet starting next Monday July 13 and returning the 20th. Please DMPC me.

Will do.
Er, do you mean to be DMPCed effective immediately or as of Monday? Don't want to swipe an action from you without good cause. :)
I'm here until Sunday. Then I'll hit the dark side of the moon.

Understood. Enjoy being comfortably numb. :)
That reminds me, my mommy will be here starting Tuesday. Please DMPC me from Tuesday to the 20th. I'll start gaming again on the 21st.
If we're down two people, do we want to hit the pause button?

Hm. It is a third of the group out for roughly the same timespan, and it's only a week. I could go either way, so I'll leave it to the four of you who'll still be here. Would you rather press on or take a brief hiatus?
I'd like to continue if the players on hiatus don't mind.
I prefer the pause. On to the others...
