You're actually in the receiving area of the hall at the moment, once you verbalize your bend to see the mayor, I can fast-forward the next single/pair.
ah, well then, I guess I'll have to help move bronan and I along.
I don't believe my character was ever approached by the guy that told everyone else to meet the mayor. I was planning on heading to the library next however
Gwyn is leading Odd'n to the mayors office at this point I believe. That said, if Odd'n finds some distraction I won't complain :P
LEAD ON LITTLE LADY!
I will admit to being somewhat confused on the different timelines, but this has become both a natural state for me and not terribly important in this particular case.
I check here every day and so am simply waiting until everyone catches up. I am in Fredericksburg, VA with a broken down car currently, so am ready, but in no hurry, for anything to happen. 8)
Thorn will probably arrive at the mayors office at 1415 or something around there. going straight there from the Shanty.
Yea sorry, Gwyn and Odd'n got sidetracked due to bad habits. BUT she is leading us to the town hall as we speak...er.. type.. ;D
Just a friendly reminder, if you move in game and you're in the municipal square, don't forget to move your avatar on the map!
Thank you.
And I know the timeline bit can be confusing, but that's the price of free-roaming. Different people will be doing different things starting at different times that take different amounts of time to do, so just trust me when I say what time it is where and for whom.
Soon enough, we won't have to worry about it (hopefully).
I think the timeline thing is great personally. Makes our actions have temporal consequences rather than assuming things happen in the blink of an eye and HEY HERE I AM AGAIN with the party ;P
And the RP has been fuunnnnnn but I sure am lookin' forward to biting something soon.. I mean.. Odd'n is.. :P
I love how you're playing Odd'n. This is going to be so much fun. :P
Lol, go easy on the poor guy.. ;P
Nah, I just mean that we can have alot of fun.
Well Baru, Odd'n doesn't quite trust you BUT he is intrigued by you so.. I'm sure yall will get along for now.
I'm quite worried abut Bronan however.. Odd'n thinks the man is keeping caltrop of a slave and will not abide by it... *face palm*
hehe, Thats the kind of think that I'm talking about though. Its hilarious.
@TLGM; for sake of fun I might modify my 'Asperger rolls' to make them more.. realistic.. and more fun/annoying :D
If Odd'n passes the DC15 he thinks they are fine and dandy, if not he doesn't like them-- that initial roll (if less than 15) is their 'Asperger value' to Odd'n. This can't go lower and at the beginning of each day he will re-roll and, if in excess of 15, he will add the difference from the roll and the DC to the 'Asperger value'. When this value meets or exceeds 15 he will accept them.
My rationale is it will take more than a day for him to warm up to people in his company he initially distrusts (what with his apparent mental problems) and who knows.. maybe his issues will have him distrusting people throughout this adventure. His responses will correspond to how low the 'Asperger value' is from the DC; thus why he is intrigued by Baru (12/15) but afraid of the mayor (4?/15.. I forget) and VERY MAD at the dog-slaver man (0/15).
Also-- since I went the odd route of crippling my character socially can I grease some kinda bonus for him in some other fashion? I'm playing this way purely for flavour/fun so.. if it is to much fluff and buff please forget about it.
Works for me.
With a history of combat (pit-fighting) it stands to reason that he would occasionally have to fight alongside other slaves. This would train him over time to fight well with others even if he doesn't play well with them. You can ignore any detrimental effects from Asperger's rolls when in combat.
This way, it only effects flavor and storyline...not anyone's livelihood.
Sound good?
Haha perfect ;) thanks (and thanks for the background fluff to work with :D )
Happy to do it! I'm a writer by nature.
@everyone; I'm goin' to Vegas Thursday to Monday so I won't be creeping these forums every other hour as I tend to do while at school/work. BUT I might appear in the mornings. In any case-- if everyone else has posted please just bot me along.. I'm going to be playing as an antisocial man-child for the rest of 'today' (in-game) at least due to his rolls so. Gwyn can speak for me if you would rather ;)
Have fun! I'll bot you.
I am sorry to say that I have to drop out. Something have come up in real life and I am unable to keep up with the game I am running and the games I am playing in. Since this adventure is just now getting started and I haven't been involved much yet it will be the least disruptive for me to drop out of. Thank you for the chance to play, I hope the game goes well.
No worries, life happens!
Att'n other players: do you guys want to get another player from the wait-list, or are we good where we are?
Wait List:
Tanque, Human Fighter: melee build
Kervick, the Gnome Alchemist: saboteur build
Syksy, skinwalker antipaladin: assassin build
Droka, fetchling summoner/bard: summon-and-buff build
Spookra, Goblin Rogue: theif build
Naohiro, Kitsune Rogue (Sniper): ranged build
Skales, kobold sorcerer: blaster build
Rhonda, half-elf rogue/oracle: ranged build, with a dash of buff
Valeriya, changeling witch: face/debuff build
Important: if you disagree with my assessment of the builds, let me know, I don't want to make an uneducated judgement.
I included everyone for fairness' sake, but my personal druthers are between Kervick, Sysksy, and Skales as everyone else seems to overlap.
I could go either way on getting a replacement or not.
Our party is already full of front-liners and rogues. From a balance perspective, I'd vote for Valeriya. If we're picking from your set of three, I'd vote for Kervick.
I think the party is fine with who we have, I would agree with Bronan's assessment if we do decide to get someone.
Not having seen combat, it is hard to judge the difficulty of what we will encounter. I do not feel the need for a replacement at this time, but will welcome anyone joining none the less.
Alright, we'll put it on the back-burner for now. If we get somewhere in the mission, and y'all want to add someone, lemme know. I may have to give them some XP and/or money as the situation demands.
So close, Baru! I'm gonna say that you noticed the odd seal, and since you haven't seen it before, feel free to inquire about it to Umaveti.
Now that we're getting started with the meat of the mission, I'm going to need something from everyone: if you'll put some stats in the crawl-line under your character's name (like Odd'n's) that'd be great.
I at least need your running stats: HP, AC, speed (armor and encumbrance included), food supply, ammo, and spells (which and how many prepped and available) if applicable. The spells should be in a spoiler for ease of access.
THANKS!
@TLGM; if Gwyn doesn't respond by the time all the others have just assume Odd'n will 'sneak' behind the group.. keeping an eye on the suspicious party-- in particular the lanky armed warrior. Odd guy he is.. those arms..
Just realized in my rush to quit holding up the game and meet up with the rest of the group I failed to finish equipping myself hah.
We can just assume that is due to Garrets arrogance ;)
Kiddin' :P
Well He may be arrogant, but he isn't stupid. The Cha of 6 definitely shows though haha
Yeah, I don't think Gwyn's coming back, thoughts?
I am not overly concerned, we still have a decent sized group although Odd'n lost his little protector.
I was wondering if we could roleplay some more shops on this board so that I could finish outfitting my character or should I just continue on as is and see what happens?
Odd'n is befriending Baru so it should be fine ;P
Just see what happens, big G. You never know who you might find on the road!
Yeah, I was more worried that we've lost all our Rogue-ness. Bronan could probably take the place of our face (maybe) and Garret is obviously a good pickpocket, but as we're about to see, we lack stealth as a group. But if y'all are cool I'm cool. How long should we give her before we RP her out?
I was considering taking a few rogue levels fer fun.. grab some feats/flavour that would go with Odd'ns history (guy is a bit of an outcast/rogue as it is.. doing whatever it takes to survive). This guy is hardly maximized and taking a level or two in rogue would be fun-- imagine a sneaky man-child choking people from behind! OoOOoOooOooOOoO!
If people don't mind I would happily do this at lvl 3 ;)
I can pick pockets and be stealthy, I will never be able to pick locks however. I say give her a few more days to come back. Life may have just gotten busy. I have no problem with Odd'n being the rogue
Alhandra spends almost all of her time under the effects of hallucinogens. Assuming you can get her attention, she might be willing to serve as the party's face. She does have a quite high charisma after all. Of course, you'd have to remind her repeatedly what she's supposed to say, but that should be a little thing. 8)
Odd'n won't have much to say about party direction until later and is 'comfortable' with yall, so he will be happy to have someone else be the 'face' for the next looong while. He might be keeping track of what you say and choices you make (or appear to make as the party face) so ;)
pps- if I drop fer rogue it will be into 'acrobat' so I can grease the benefit of wearing light armor without the penalty. I'll be dropping points into disable device + sleight of hand + perception + survival. Stealth will get points when available. This keeps with my build anyway.. springing around.. wildly and randomly.. rogue-ish feat I want want want is strangler. so. should be fun.
@Garret; forgive my back-seat GMing but I think you got your touch/flat-footed AC mixed up.
Sorry for being anal about things. But.. I'm anal about things..
@Garret; forgive my back-seat GMing but I think you got your touch/flat-footed AC mixed up.

It is not mixed up, I have a +4 from Dex and a +1 from armor. I always appreciate people pointing out things that are wrong and I do it when I notice it. there is no need to apologize.
Okay cool, I'm gonna PM Gwyn, giving her til Tuesday night. Sound good?
Yeaup!
And let me know when Odd'n gets to rampage in to the centipedes; I'm not quite sure how these surprise rounds work with all the stealth goin on so I'mma sit back and watch until you call Odd'n in to action ;)
The idea is, if everyone is sneaking, if anyone isn't perceived they get the jump on that character. This allows for more than 1 surprise round. Garret has pointed the two centipedes out, so they can't get the jump on you. Unfortunately it works both ways.
Basically, I'm just trying to eliminate the whole, "if I can see one of you, I can see all of you," business I see in a lot of other games. I like to play ninjas myself, and it's really fraggin' annoying that the enemies can see me when I'm stealthing at 28, just because the BSF is clunking around 30' in front of me.
And sorry to the other players & TLGM for getting ahead of the action with my RP fluff ;P I.. I mean.. Odd'n.. is just to excited about the upcoming bloodshed..
On this note-- if I am posting to often let me know.. I should be waiting to hear from everyone in the 'gameplay' before I start throwing some stuff on these boards but it is just to tempting! If anyone feels hand-cuffed by my forced/awkward interactions let me know and I'll save my scrambled imagination for a more 'concentrated' post.
"Sometimes less is more.." and all that..
I post whenever I can because I often feel as though my time is at a premium.
As long as you're just RP'ing I personally don't have a problem. In combat, as long as you don't act out of turn, there's no issue. Even then, and this part applies to everyone if you find you have time to post before your turn is up, and you don't think you'll have time later, feel free to post your actions in a spoiler like:
I kill them
I eat them
The rationale behind doing it this way over "on my turn I..." out in the open is twofold: 1st if you do something that you won't be able to do, it might confuse the other players (and the GM); 2nd you might choose to take an action that you wouldn't normally take (because the situation/bonuses/etc may have changed). This is why I don't do a mega-initiative. If Alhandra gets to go first, and she would've cast a buff to attack, but you chose only to defend, you've just shot yourself in the foot to save a few minutes.
In short: if you can wait until your turn, do so. If not, forward post in spoiler form so I can see what you're going for and mini-bot for you in the rundown if necessary.
Understood, I am only able to get on once or twice a day (unless it is my 'weekend') due to no computers with internet access at my work and no personal electronic devices allowed so I will probably be spoilering my actions a lot.
my action of precedence will be attacking so -1 to attack and damage on my rolls due to not being within 30 ft.
Not a problem big G: these are just big centipedes, as you can see, you already killed one.
I get on once a day but as you can see, it's right before bed. This puts me way behind everyone and sometimes people think I'm not posting once a day. I'm not sure if I understand that last one, because it's always once a day, just after everyone else is done.
