Same to you, Bendoc!

Happy Thanksgiving all! I hope everyone's having a wonderful holiday weekend, or four otherwise wonderful days if you don't celebrate.
I also hope we find our missing town guard after the holidays. =/
| The Many-Faced GM |
I hope everyone enjoyed some time with friends and family and ate too much. I'd hate to be the only one.
| Akuleh Speaks With Ancients |
Yeah! We're still working our way through all the leftovers! Gotta love Turkey Day!
| The Many-Faced GM |
Apologies folks. I started a new job this past Wednesday, which turned out to be the same day my 3-year old came home with strep.
| The Many-Faced GM |
Apologies for the delay. I will be looking to move forward with the campaign sometime later this week. I'm currently getting over the flu and recently started a new job and combined with the holidays, time and computer access have been severely impacted. However we are just beginning and we will be proceeding soon.
| Kadrian Deverin |
We may have lost Bendoc. It's been a month since he was on the forums. On another character he spoke about losing power at his house and that was it.
| The Many-Faced GM |
I'm still here guys. Sitting down at my computer with the pdf adventure has become difficult to say the least. My adjustment is taking longer than I anticipated so bare with me a little longer. I am considering one player from another campaign I am running, and maybe one additional through recruitment or suggestion, or we can proceed as is. I tailored the encounters for a larger party, no reason I can't tailor them for a smaller one.

It seems like we've got a good group of 4 strong players right now, and APs are written for 4. We have arcane, divine, and 2 melee. Summoner is half melee again with that eidolon. So we're lacking a true sneak/trapginder, and we don't have much for ranged combat.
I'd say that we don't *need* anyone new, but certainly wouldn't be hurt, especially if they fill any of those gaps.
| Akuleh Speaks With Ancients |
Yeah, I think I'm with Rak on this one. 4 PCs is well within the expectations of the APs, and we have a pretty solid group even if we do have a couple roles that could be filled. If we really want more people to help us fill in the gaps, that's fine, but I don't think we necessarily need to.
| Kadrian Deverin |
The 4 our us have shown dedication to each other and the AP. This is a good group. I agree with both Rak and Akuleh; if we don't find another player, we're still a good team!
| Kadrian Deverin |
Hey guys, I'm thinking I'll get a loot tracker together for us so we can keep track of these potions and anything else we come up with. I'll put it in my header for easy access.
That would be wonderful, Akuleh.
| Akuleh Speaks With Ancients |
Tracker is up! It's at the end of my header in case you haven't seen it yet. I've set the sharing settings so that you can edit it as well, so feel free to add any items/notes you'd like as we go forward.
Yeah, I don't think we really searched the gobs much, which kinda stinks. We may have found some gold on them at least. Good note for next time I suppose.
| Akuleh Speaks With Ancients |
Man. Just read back through the first few combats to check for any loot I might have forgotten and those were some intense fights! Stinking GM was set on killing us right out of the gate! ;P
Now, for future reference, our party line when the GM says "Combat Ended" or something similar is going to be "I loot the bodies." Hahaha!
| Akuleh Speaks With Ancients |
Haha! Sounds about right, Rak!
| Izbela Vauni |
Poor Akuleh and Rak have to read all this romantic mush until the GM updates. =P
On another note, seeing as we're down two members, I realized that I'm going to have to do a bit better with Algon when combat rolls around (I've never played a martial character before). Anyone have any tips or suggestions on what I should be building him towards? Other than grabbing Power Attack next, I'm pretty lost on what to do.
Also, probably more of a question for Many-Faced GM, but does anyone know whether Algon would be able to use his slam attack and his greatsword in a full attack? I had initially assumed 'no', but I saw the Vampire Savage entry, and, unless it's a misprint or a feature of its class/race, it seems able to attack with a two-handed weapon and use a slam attack.

Haha! It's honestly been really fun! Haven't seen such good romantic RP before. I dig it.

Toughness is never a bad idea for a frontliner. Honestly I'd pick that up before power attack. You're rocking a great sword, so damage output won't be a problem for the first few levels. Beyond that it just depends on how you want Algon to evolve (no pun intended). If you want a fairly standard 2H fighter, cleave and great cleave are pretty common, along with things like weapon focus and vital strike for extra accuracy and damage. If you want to get a bit fancier, once you pick up power attack, you could go for some combat maneuvers. Bull rush or overrun can both be fun. Sunder just gets mean. It's pretty much up to you from there.
| Kadrian Deverin |
Akuleh, I support your efforts to rp with Rak. I don't wish Kadrian to outshine anybody in rp opportunities. I'm just lucky the 'heroes' are all good rpers and we work off each other. I'm sure it get boring reading 'young varisians in love' narrative when there's a lull in the action. I want Kadrian to strengthen bonds of friendship with all the 'heroes'.
| Izbela Vauni |
I don't think I would have considered the combat maneuver line of feats if you hadn't mentioned them. I'm not sure I understand the practical uses for bull rush (until Bela gets create acid pit at least) but I do like the idea of sundering an enemy's armor. A lot.
Thanks for that, Akuleh! Honestly, most of the guides I found for working with eidolons seemed to emphasize what a poor choice it is to choose anything other than a quadruped pouncer and leave it at that.
Haha! It's honestly been really fun! Haven't seen such good romantic RP before. I dig it.
Well, I'm glad to hear that! Although I think it raises the question: Have you seen bad romantic RP before? =P
| The Many-Faced GM |
My tablet died, my printer died, and I'm sick so my posting will be severely limited for the next few days.
| Kadrian Deverin |
Well, seeing how our DM is temporary out-of-commission, I'm up for more rp until we united with Rak and Akuleh, Izbela.
| Izbela Vauni |
I think this definitely calls for more romantic RP. Ooh, maybe we can even throw in an awkward first meeting with the family. Not really. =p
But seriously, I hope you feel better soon, GM!
| Kadrian Deverin |
I grow worried. It's been a while since we seen MF-GM. I hope he comes back. I imagine half the party is getting sick of As Golarion Turns.
| The Many-Faced GM |
You are now level 2. Please post your changes here. Hit points are rolled normally with an extra reroll for every con modifier, or 3d10 for a fighter with a 14 con.

Do we keep the best of the rolls?

Sweet! Level up!
HP Rolls: 2d8 ⇒ (3, 6) = 9 So 6+1 Con=7 hp. I'll take it!
Oh man. Just updated Akuleh, and the hex I picked up is fantastic! Lets me use my Wisdom mod instead of my Intelligence mod for all Int-based skill checks. So all my knowledge skills just bumped up another 3 points, along with spellcraft, linguistics, etc. How cool is that?!
| Rak Opal |
Rak is leveled up.
Detect alignment at will should be fun.... :)

That's awesome. I took Conversion Inquisition at level 1 to do a Wis > Cha swap, myself. We make Wisdom work! ;)
| Izbela Vauni |
HP (Bela): 1d8 - 1 ⇒ (5) - 1 = 4 Note to self: CON is not a dump stat.
HP (Algon): 2d10 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (3, 10) + 1 - 3 = 11
| Kadrian Deverin |
We will be moving on to the boar hunt shortly unless there is objection.
None from me.
| The Many-Faced GM |
Apologies for the delay. I have been traveling with the family for Spring Break. I hope to return to a more normal routine tomorrow.
