The Brute Squad Matrimony (Inactive)

Game Master ThorGN

What’s going to be served at the festivities? Champaign, Mead, Dragon Breath Ale?

I have a busy work week ahead of me, I will be offline for most of Thursday, but as soon as I get the scenario read and I’m comfortable with starting, I will do so.

Excellent! I can't wait. I'll need to do a bit of shopping first. :-)

Peasant. Your servants should do any shopping FOR you.

What’s going to be served at the festivities? Champaign, Mead, Dragon Breath Ale?

Knowing the miserly Blakros family, it will undoubtedly be some of that vile Sauerton Red from our once-and-future colony. It's cheap, after all.

I'd best bring along some exquisite Taldan fire-brandy from my family's stores in order to make it though this.

Need to update Erin to 6th, will not be able to until I get home though.

Don’t worry, we’re not starting today.

(Probably >.>)

Same here, although I could update with e-sheets and phone internet to bypass firewalls if I REALLY wanted to. This isn't a scenario I'd recommend running cold, anyways.

I presume the gala event is being held in Absalom...?

Man, I'm REALLY torn between character decisions... On one hand, I can play a classic TEACUPS FOR TALDOR character AND help the cause. On the other hand, healing (and not scanning in ALL my sheets) is good.

Well, if Amira is joining us as Amira, healing is likely well covered. My standard answer to this is normally: absent a crying need for a particular role, play what you want to play.

Well I have 2 PCs in this range. I have my level 7 ex-gladiator barbarian who fits right in at parties or I could play dangerously with my level 4 paladin.

Pick whoever is better for role-playing and has the skills to back up their words.

I prepped this scenario for my Thursday group, so I know full well how good my social skillz need to be. The sad part is, both of them are social characters with at least +10 diplo... I think "Team Laziness and Consistency with old posts" wins with the "I don't want to scan in all those sheets with my old-as-sin AIO printer" platform. Amira it is. Please don't let me change my mind.

Well, they're both fun to roleplay. And they both have social skills at +9 or better. But I think Diplomacy + Intimidate > Bluff + Intimidate, so I'll post as the paladin before I go to work.

Erin is updated and ready to go.

Yandu goes shopping.

"Any suggestions for fine clothes for me and Anya. Anyone know a good tailor here around. After all - we represent the society.
Hmm - maybe I should buy a pathfinder as well. People need to recognise I'm a pathfinder."

I can check what else is in range if necessary.

Okay, so I lied about posting before I went to work. Shame on me. However, here is Adamus, my Divine Competitor of Kurgess. I believe he is fully updated since he last played in a PBP.

Yandu, please update your tagline to say that you are 6th level.

If you guys could update your race/class fields with some common character information, like what Amira has, that would be very helpful for me.

Yay, I'm helpful! You can understand my amassment of Knowledges, yes, Mr. GM? I might toss diplomacy in the bar, too, since that's one of my main skills and will be good for this scenario.

It look so cluttered like that....haha. I will add a few more things though. What do you want? Defense stats and saves?

It doesn't look nearly as cluttered without almost every knowledge added (plus more.) I'm just lazy enough to not want to open my character's page every time I need to remember how much Diplomacy or Sense Motive I have.

...sadly, my two most socially adept characters are 9th and 3rd level. (My level 9 sorcerer's Bluff score is pushing +20 before spells. :-)

Bishop is....less than socially graceful. :-)

Yeah, defense stats are the main thing.

Finished leveling, just need to be home to actually upload the sheet to Google. This Master of Trade ability is gonna be fuuuuuuuun.

Too bad I can't actually use that wand. Good thing it's on the Paladin spell list...

No worries. Rosham's history with the Blakros family makes him my easy choice for this scenario, not his ability to sweet talk. Rosham is an equal-opportunity offender, after all. :-D

I'm willing to bet we have the face part down with Amira and Yandu (not to mention adding a Paladin to the mix), so if Bishop is who you want to play, you should play him.

Or you could always let Erin do the talking...haha

(Bishop is the ONLY one I can play.)

He's got sharp eyes, and is well educated. He's a good judge of character as well. :-)

I'm willing to bet we have the face part down with Amira and Yandu (not to mention adding a Paladin to the mix)

I'll have a +17 Diplomacy for a majority of this scenario, via "'Semi-trashy gossip gazetteer for small talk purposes' MW Diplomacy tool (10 charges)," with 2 rolls per check (using my new Honeyed Tongue wand) if the Paladin or UMD Rogue are willing to oblige their services upon it.

Updated to level 6 in the description. More to follow later.

Sure, I'd be glad to help little lady.

Plus, we get to have super secret Skald talk, which will be exceptionally good for you, if you talk in a broken English-style dialect. You gonna get MAD LINGUISTIC LESSONZ.

Well, I wouldn't say I speak broken common. But we can have our secret language.

It's simply how I read the agreement to help (complete with Heavy Eastern European accent), but that's what "Ulfens with manly beards" always imply to me.

Gah, now I read it that way too..

Well played, Erin. :-D

To you as well, let us see your swordsmanship, haha.

I also want to add that I read Erin's "Ha ha"'s like the Mickey Mouse's "Ho ho!" verbal tic.

mechaedd: Ruining inner voices for EVERYONE.

Apparently Erin has a pocket of infinite apples...

I only had a couple...

Have you ever read Raymond Feist? He had a fun character in one of his books with a bag of endless oranges. It was awesome.

I have heard of him, but I do not believe I have read anything of his. I am actually currently reading "Best Served Cold" by Joe Abercrombie. I am also a very big fan of George Martin (Except for the speed at which he writes), and David Gemmel.

ComPLETEly agree with this.

Must.
Write.
Faster. ;-)

Ugh, hate this 1 hour edit window.

Brute - just to let you know about some boons that I expect will come into play at some stage.

So I assume a +2 on diplomacy while dealing with Andorans as the wedding.

You rescued the Minotaur Prince: You rescued Nuar Spiritskin, the Minotaur Prince of Absalom and he is quite grateful that you have done so. Though he is absolutely unclear how he got into the tangle in the first place, he pays this no mind and spreads the tale of your daring-do to his many contacts throughout the city. You gain a permanent +1 circumstance bonus to any Intelligence checks or Charisma based checks made while in Absalom. (Chronicle 2)

Exemplar of Falcons Hollow: You have saved the town of Falcon's Hollow. from certain Death. As a result you are now a famed Andoran adventurer and gain a +1 circumstance bonus on any Charisma based checks with any citizens of Andoran. Chronicle 5

Good call! I need to go back and look. I think Bishop may have a couple. I hope it was Bishop anyway.

Good thinking, Yandu.

Rosham has the following, which may on may not apply:

* Master of Blades Saved: By saving the life of the famed adventurer and former Master of Blades, you have earned a permanent place in the Pathfinder Chronicles. You gain a +4 circumstance bonus on Diplomacy and Intimidate checks when dealing with members of the Pathfinder Society of your level or lower. (Chronicle 3)

* A copper coin with the sigil of the open road on one side and the flag of Jalmeray on the other. When in Absalom, you can present this coin to any citizen of Jalmeray and recieve a +4 circumstance bonus on one Diplomacy check. You may only use this coin once per scenario. (Chronicle 13)

Sorry I haven't moved things along. I'm still deciding how best to do the proverbial 'info dump'.

So, Rosham is a Noble. Anyone else have a title I should know about?

Yandu just joined the Eagle Knights.

He is a well respected Andoran hero ... Cough, cough
