Looks like we're close to having a full house, so let's get the party started! I expect to start the gameplay in earnest before the weekend.
I will be away from PC for most of the weekend, and will return to daily posting from Monday.

The gameplay thread is now open! You arrive to the Sword Point inn in order of posting...
Signing in
Sorry, lot of thing to do. Will start friday.
I have PM'ed Arknight/Cherial, will wait for a few days.
Do you need me to put up a map of Cassomir?
Goston - OK about the extra feat, I overlooked Ancestral Arms initially.
Vigfus - will you please update the skills to reduce the ranks from 15 to 10? Or let me know where those extra ranks are coming from.
Are you waiting on me guys? 'Cause I am waiting on you.
Shall I declare Arkhight MIA and re-open the recruitment?
I was thinking we were waiting for someone.

Yes, please re-open recruitment while we start
I've bumped the recruitment thread, and also added the map link to the campaign info. Please confirm you are able to access and use it fine.
Yep!
Works fine!
Seeing as people seem to have trouble allocating their background skill points, I am going to reverse my decision and allow Artistry and Lore back into the game. But please note that you cannot allocate background skill points to the skills that have been consolidated! (e.g. knowledge other than Engineering)
Please welcome Vashara Bainbridge, a Paladin/Sorcerer of Apsu, to the game.
Maybe your employer would ;-)
Welcome!
I would say that since Goston acts before the rest of the party, and thus all others are flat-footed, no-one actually threatens the enemies yet and as such they are not flanked and not prone to sneak attacks this round. Agreed?
Edit: on further review, I don't think it actually matters this time... But still I'd like to see if I have my rules right.
If they are flat-footed... they are prone to sneak attack. If you are flat-footed, you can't treaten so you can't help for flanking. You lose the flat-footed status when you act the first time in the combat.
So after a normal round, nobody should be flat-footed. Everybody should be able to threaten everyone now.
The sneak attack activated when the opponed is denied his dexterity (status like flat-footed, paralyse, sleep or uncounscious does that) or flanks.
As now,Virgus threatens the corpse. If Goston flanks with Virgus, it will be eligible for a sneak.
If you are flat-footed, you can't treaten so you can't help for flanking. You lose the flat-footed status when you act the first time in the combat.
Yes, that was exactly the part I was looking for, thanks.
Sorry, I made a bit of a blunder - Rhoma Bissel was supposed to be a woman, but as I initially mistakenly used a male pronoun I'm going to stick to it. She is never actually described in the module (as she's dead) and I misread the pronouns. Must be my sexist brain playing tricks on me (old wizard = bearded man) :(
Well this is just an advance warning as to why the name might sound strange. And also in case I forget about it sometime in the future and accidentally post about Rhoma as 'her', you will know why :)
Heu... I think that Goston has + 6 in will. 2 because it an enchantement 1 base 2 for wisdom and 1 for the resistance.

1) I agree, the bonus vs enchantments should apply.
2) We are using the spell attack rolls, so instead of you rolling saves, I am rolling modified attack rolls. The DC for these rolls is 11+save, so 17 for you and 13 for Vigfus.
3) The attack roll is modified by spell level and casting ability score.
4) I have just realized that under the limited magic rules it makes sense to adjust SLAs as well, so the monster should have rolled at +1 instead of +2. (because the minimum casting score for LVL1 spell is 11)
5) Still, I rolled 19+1 vs Vigfus and 18+1 vs Goston, so both effects still apply. Basically it's equivalent to you rolling a natural 3 or 2 vs DC11.
Ok, i will need to see those detail better latter.

If i move Goston , does he flank with Alomar?(I didn't remark if Alomar has draw a weapon)

The monsters are Tiny, so must enter a character space to bite, thus provoking an AOO (well, unless the character is unarmed or they are invisible).
Cool!
It seem that we have no news from our Gm. What should we do?
I think we could search from an another gm or one of us is remplacing... our we just say quit.
If you are still here flykiller, please excuse me and responds please.
I agree with Vash, given the experimental nature of our builds I am hesitant to ask another GM to take over. We have also just started, so if this turns out to be a module that does get to completion I do not mind that much as if we would have invested a lot of time and effort ourselves.
Just wait, after 3 months of no posting in the gameplay thread the campaign will hide itself. This happens from time to time, I hope that the GM is alright.
