Hey Belor! Running a PFS character, or modifying it for the game? :) Koro is not PFS legal due to Jolt, a legacy cantrip I'm using for low level cheese.
Alright, the gameplay thread is officially a go, though you aren't really required to respond until tomorrow.
Where's my kitty Lavi hangin' out?
For damage with negative modifiers isn't it usually X-1 damage, minimum of 1? Does that apply here or is it more of a "Daddy long-legs can't pierce human skin" kind of thing?
There is enough light to not need any modifiers, the sun is just setting. Your animal companion, Druid, is not far but is out of sight and won't be of use this fight. I wasn't sure about the 1 damage minimum so I took the successful poisoning as a good enough hit. I imagine if the minimum damage was 1 then it wouldn't have me roll but rather just say 1 damage. Sorry for formatting, on my phone.
My moms house flooded so my posts will be brief and not very roll-play-like for a couple days while I sort things out for her.
Aw man, that's unfortunate. I understand your restraints just please try to chime in each day so we can keep moving. I think we will understand if you're the strong silent type for a little while. Also, Koro, thanks for coming back to join us.
I'm pretty sure the dice are limited here to basic math. Malick is correct. The combat chapter states that penalties to damage dropping it below one deal one point of nonlethal. One normal damage minimum is from 3.5.
I have figured out what you mean.
What will we use the Roll20 page for?
What will we use the Roll20 page for?
I will plot each encounter on Roll20 with corresponding scenery and tokens. This will be crucial when looking at the area as a whole, also. Essentially any interactive geography I want to convey to you. I view it as a vital part of PBP to maintain that tabletop essence.
I'm trying to work out a solution as to how to handle AoOs. Having combat move at the pace of a round a day is important and handling AoOs perfectly is not worth slowing combat to one round every two days, even occasionally. As such: I will be assuming AoOs are going to be taken when they are presented. I will make them for you.
If you can anticipate preferred targets for your limited AoOs you should provide me with them in an OOC comment at the bottom of your battle post in the circumstance you are afforded multiple targets or opportunities. I will do my best to anticipate what you would prefer in the instances you have not provided a priority list.
If anyone has suggestions for a better way to handle this that keeps us at the desired pace, please present them here.

In regards to AOOs, most do not interrupt actions. Getting up from prone will provoke, but if you are hit you still stand up, the same is (generally) true of movement. There will be some occasions, like trying to drink potions or tumbling through enemy squares, that AOOs will become messier, but I think so long as we are all accepting of the actions we take things should go smoothly.
I think the bigger worry than if he takes them against us is when one of us gets an opportunity for an AoO against an enemy. Rather than slow combat down by waiting what could potentially be an entire day to hear if one of us wants to take one he's going to put em on automatic for us.

Alrighty, I've posted for Kororinda and Belor since it's been 24+ hours. This isn't a big deal once in a while but please, please, please keep it to a minimum, guys. I know Belor had some emergency stuff which is understandable but this is just a general notice to everyone. I hope this doesn't offend you but its a liberty that must be taken to continue play for those are sitting and waiting on the others.
Ok. Got stuff sorted out a bit, I should be able to post more frequently now.
Sorry, I didn't realize I was missing a round!
So I've taken 1 non-lethal and 1 dex damage at this point? Is my cat back yet or do I need to go find him? Is all our gear in the pile, or just some if it?

Yu actually didn't take the Dex damage, it was my bad for not rolling your save first which you succeded. I also meant to add in my last post that your lion returns to the beach from the jungle a short period after the monsters are gone. You can add that to your next post. Koro: It's no biggie, just check in once every 24 hrs on weekdays at least and you'll never miss it. I typically post from 4:00PM-8:00PM EST if that'll give you a better idea.
Clearly Nagl is a people person.
The regional map is up on Roll20. I'll keep it up to date but I won't be posting screenshots on here so we don't have any copyright issues.
It seems I might want to wait on GM input regarding Belor before I take actions. Sorry, the last post was awesome but, you know, belor only has so many hit points. I may need to try a heal check lol.
Nine rolls so far. Eight of them utter failures.
THAT sets a good tone =)
All good, Nagl's got me.
Hah, sorry to throw you to the fish, Belor. I think you still need to make a DC 12 climb check to make it up onto the ship.
Hopefully the sub-5 rolls are out of the way for a while.
ON the other hand it's not like I can fall further in to the water.
From the climb skill entry: "Special: You can use a rope to haul a character upward (or lower a character) through sheer strength. You can lift double your maximum load in this manner." That's 460 lbs for Nagl.
You guys are getting all post happy, haha. That's ok though, I'll post in about an hour.
I was happy to see Lavi's thoughts lol, I like that idea.
Haha I agree. For PCs it's not how I choose to project and I try to skip over those written parts for players (I like the idea of reading body language, actions, and words. Adds realism for me. I don't think anyone here does that, but in another campaign I was in it was prevalent.) but for Lavi it's kind of awesome.
Fellow posty castaways--I will be in the mountains from 7/5-7/11. Please bot Koro to blast everything in sight and hold his banner high; I shall return forthwith!
Ewwww. Outside. Have fun.
Can do, Koro. We'll do our best to not get you killed, haha.
My latest post is kind of a doozey so sorry if you're in a hurry. I would like to get a skype conversation going between everyone so that we can talk in real time if needed. Nagl, Malick, and I have been doing this for a while and it has improved our posts I think and I'll like to get our last two players in on it. If you're not keen on that no problem but you probably won't like my next idea. I'd like to try to play a live session using Roll20 and Skype maybe once a month. I think it'd be super fun to play a real game with you guys and get to know each other in a different way. Let me know what you think.
I'm not doing anything, and I probably won't do anything till...September, maybe. So's long as we have enough notice that shouldn't be a problem for me.
I get pretty tied up with work and kids, but I might be able to do it over lunch at times. PM or email me!
Sorry I skipped so much in my last post, I was unjustly in a hurry to progress the game and stepped past your RP opportunities. I will try to have better pacing in the future.
I was listening to the news and they were talking about how food storage in India is a real problem. My first thought was they just need Belor to cast purify food and water. Wamp.
It should be worth mentioning, in reference to the game play thread, survival checks represent 1d3 hours iirc.
Are we having Lavi act on my turn?
