Talking and plotting amongst yourselves here.
Dotted for further plotting.
Welcome those from the Reptile God. You will see treasure distribution was expedited in that thread. This put those from the nonpathfinder world where treasure was not so strictly monitored ahead of the pathfinder norm.
Ditto.
Both Slow and Stinking Cloud are 3rd level. 375+375=750*0.6=450gp
So Bizzlemont has 3550gp to spend.
Cloak of Resistance (+1) - 1000gp
Pearl of Power (1st) - 1000gp
Pearl of Power (1st) - 1000gp
Bandages of Rapid Recovery - 200gp
He'll also buy scroll writing materials to create the following scrolls for the adventure ahead: Comprehend Languages, Mage armor, Identify, Protection from Evil, Magic Weapon, Shield, Expeditious Retreat, Enlarge Person, See Invisibility. (Total: 175gp)
GP remaining: 375gp
GM, please let me know if any of this isn't available/doable.
Edit: Bandages aren't a CRB item.
Drat. Holy symbols as a Tattoo aren't a CRB item either.
Not sure if you guys are still following our other thread, so:
GM Tribute, any ideas regarding this question? I understand if it does not fit the game.
I think I have most of my upgrades nailed down - still mulling it over, but I guess it makes sense to go for the 'basic' kit:
- Cloak of Resistance +1
- Probably a new armor and weaponWanted to ask you guy's opinion on gear, as I intend to build on the usual weaknesses of the martial type characters - boosting Terion's Will Save, touch AC, battlefield mobility, and ranged capabilities - what gear would you advise?
Also GM Tribute, I was wondering, even though I do not wish to change characters, I might be interested in swapping some of Terion's feats around for our next adventure - would you allow that?
Terion would look something like this:

GM Tribute, is it ok then to proceed with the changes to Terion or..?
Yes, changes to Terion good.
Cool, I'll update my alias profile when I got a sec.
Sorry I didn't answer more specific questions.
No Wayfinder or tattoos for holy symbol. The only non-core materials that may appear will be if converting treasures from the source material makes the most sense to add non CRB items.
All characters have no traits but get an extra feat.
Terion updated and ready to go.
Just setting up. No problem.
Think of this as the optional cocktail hour before the formal office Christmas party.
I am thinking of moving some from the other group over as they don't seem to be taking off. Two groups is too many for retro play I think.
I think that is ok. How big will the group become? :D
No problem. We started with a big group too.
Ran groups of ten or more regularly in college.
Invited three more, if they all show, we are at 9.
Checking in.
Checking in as well.
So should I just start in the gameplay or wait.
Welcome aboard boys ;)
A 9 player party! Wow.
It seems like the old school modules (if I am remembering correctly) were often intended for larger groups [6-8 PC's and sometimes retainers as well (remember retainers from AD&D?)]. I think the Temple of Elemental Evil was supposed to be specifically designed for a really big group.
Good to see another Fighter on board Durahl - Am I correct in assuming that you are more sword and board? If so, good, cause it allows me more freedom to go 2h weapon all the way ;)
Temple of Elemental Evil...Don't even go there. I have been lobbying GM Tribute into taking us to one of those crazy adventures from the AD&D days - Night Below, City of the Spider Queen, etc - but he is putting up a fight :D
Did those of you who played Against the Cult of the Reptile God roll your hit points for 2nd and 3rd level or use the 1/2 HD +1 for levels above 1st? For most of you, your HP don't seem to jive with the 2nd option (which is what we used as new 3rd level characters).
Terion's HP seem too high, while Bizz and Ama's seem too low if using the 2nd option.
I think we rolled?
Yeah, I'm definitely "tanking" with a 25 AC although my touch AC still stinks. ;)
I actually looked at Chainmail/GM Tributes active campaigns to find this thread and he is in 3(!) ToEE campaigns. I don't know if they are all truly active but, man, that is hardcore.
I was initially in the Against the Cult campaign but dropped out before it really got going (several reasons...won't enumerate them here) and I have been kicking myself ever since I dropped. I loved playing that module (remember when they were called "modules"?) back in the day. I have been hoping against hope that someone would run The Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh as that is one of my personal favs.
I've never played (nor even heard of this module) so it doesn't have the same nostalgia factor for me.
I think we rolled?
Well, that explains it then...

Hehe, I know - I stepped in at that time so... Thanks Durahl :D
Just joking - Now you are here, so welcome back - by the way, Against the Cult was HARD.
Got lucky and started in on the Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh, but the DM deployed, and that was that. One of my better characters and games, it was. So Edan sticks around.
Nine.. Yow.. that's big. If it gets to be a hassle in management, I'll sit this pass out if needed.
Sweet, another wizard. Tavar, do you want to conference for spells? With 6 days of travel, Bizzlemont could have made some scrolls. Also, I originally made Bizzlemont more of a specialist since we had another wizard filling the general arcanist gap. Do you see your guy as more of a standard mage or something niche?
I am jumping to the first encounter. Most PbPs seem to move slowly, so I feel the need to speed things up. We will straighten out the details as I set the stage.
I will make an initiative table and a marching order for single and double wide when you settle on how you want to do it. I also need to make a map.
Merrie proposes putting the mounted folks at the rear as she dislikes stepping in surprises on the trail. But someone come up with a marching order. The goblins are discovered about 40' away.
Everyone roll initiative in the main thread with a flavor post covering the night in the tavern, the stocking up on rations, and the six day march. I will make one for Merrie too. Extra interaction is encouraged.
As for the marching order I would go with double then single file. It puts a good defense on both the front and back. Keeping the softer characters safer.
Cole, Durahl/ Scranford, Strang/Tavar, Bizzlemount/ Merrie, Lamriel/Terion, Me’Mori
A I said earlier can will craft if anyone wants anything.
Map should be at the top of every page and linked in campaign tab.
Party can position themselves in the square provided.
white is clear, light blue difficult terrain, black a steep cliff that is impassable.
Let me know if you can't access map to place character.
Ok I have marked the spaces my spell hits with a * either on the empty ground or after the individuals name. Oh and the dc was 17 my mistake.
Edit it was 18 Forgot the spell lvl 10 +5 from the 20 int+ 2 lvl + 1 spell focus.
Map is accessible for me GM Tribute ;)
We are going to position ourselves where we would be before the combat begins right?
Are we allowed to add a pic for our characters? :D
Questions for GM Tribute:
Should I assume that each cell on the spreadsheet/map represents 5 ft?
Did we need to roll for a surprise round or are we skipping that and just starting round 1?
They chose not to take a surprise round and talk.
Rolling to hit and damage in the same thread is encouraged. It allows the DM to adjudicate the hits.
Everyone has not placed, rolled initiative, and acted if appropriate. I will update everyone Monday evening regardless.
I don't think it is my turn yet.
I rolled initiative and declared my action.
whups.. forgot to roll initiative.
Guys are we on round 1 or 2? I thought we were on round one but I see the enemies have acted and it looks like they go last.
