This is a general notice:
The other groups seem to lagging behind youall by quite a bit due to various factors. In order to peevent this group from going too far out of temporal sync with the others, I'll be introducing a secondary plot line for this party to pursue at the same time as the main quest line. The two are connected, but loosely, so that one plot will not disrupt the other.
All that to say that not everything happening to you is directly connected to the Docklands Murders. This should allow the posting pace you enjoy and not leave the world in your dust.
Carry on. :)
Seems fair : )
There could also be 'standard tear' work and such heaped onto us if we race ahead : )
Happy 20th birthday to me! I wish I knew if kobolds have celebrations of any kind for that...
Congratulations! You are now old enough to buy liquor at the liquor store over here!
I'm not sure kobolds live to be twenty so I'm not sure ... : )
I remember 20... Damn, that was a long time ago.
Happy Birthday, Voyd.

Well, according to Kobolds of Golarion, the average kobold lifespan is 30 years... though they can actually live up to 140.
So, it doesn't matter whether the kobold is a day away from a heart attack or just old enough to be something we call middle-aged. If the kobold's over 30, they clearly have a bit more to them than meets the eye.

Happy Birthday, Voyd.
I'm only 28 and I'm feeling that.
Happy b-day!
Hmn..Ariana should really carry around more than one net. Also, I forgot to mark off the non-proficiency penalty for it...not that it matters, she missed anyway.
Don't you have Daze? Works pretty well against mooks at this level. Especially since there is no attack roll on your part :P
I forgot she had that prepared..usually I have Read/Detect Magic and Light!
at this rate group 1 will be way past everyone.
unless we can get group 2 to post a little more...
Yeah - combat does tend to slow things down.
Maybe try to post contingencies for rounds that have yet to start?
Like:"This round Freia will cast X and move up. The next round she will hit Z with her sword unless Y has happened. Then she will do R instead"
It takes away some of the interactivity of combat, but ... might be worth considering =)
I have a few ideas for catching group 2 up. Never fear. :)
cool, i just wish I could be more useful in all of this.
bout all I can do is beat up bad guys.
I suspect Noro will be very useful when we move to apprehend the bad guys =) The voiceline to use is at 15s into this video ^^

already downloaded almost each of those quotes (among others) been using them on occasion as approriate
^^
ok if group 2 doesn't get moving group 1 will have to be on hold for a while.
I think we are stuck on round 1 of a fight.
while group 1 solves the crime.
They won't get all of it, promise. But I am sending PM's to Korrith and Johnny to see what's up.
GM -- see PM.
Heard some parts of the US has been hit pretty hard by snowstorms and such - could that be the reason?
not sure, I live in new Jersey and got hit with several snow storms. but no Ice storms.
I live in Sweden and our snow just melted this weekend :P
On the sane latitude as Novosibirsk
I've always said that if someone doesn't post for 3 days during a combat, to go ahead and bot them if waiting on them. This goes for myself as well. If I ever delay taking a turn for 2-3 days, feel free to say: "Ariana fires her crossbow/uses Daze/etc."
+1 on what Ariana said. Freia will probably use her longsword mainly =)
Hooray, New Jersey! This year at least, the home to never ending snow.
Strangely, I live in Swedesboro, NJ. Founded by... Swedes!
Coincidence? I think so. But a neat one.
wait Swedesboro? like literally 10 minutes from my house?
There is actually a place called Swedesboro O.o?
Cool =)
I live in a town called ...Woodstown and guess where it was built?
In the ... woods ? :P
You live in Woodstown? No kidding? That's maybe 2 miles away. I live at the south end of town right by the Dodge dealer.
Freia,
Yep. In the back half of the 17th century, the king of Sweden wanted to get in on expansionism. The Swedes founded their settlement here. :)
'New Sweden'? (original name of the settlement apparently) Fascinating that it is not just some random Swedish town, but one of the first!
(during the 19-20th century more then 1/5th of our population emigrated to the States. I guess they were tired of freezing and farming dirt : ) )
Ok, quick synopsis time for group 2. I think their goal might have been a bit washed out as they've done combat and group 1 had done some story.
Group 2 is searching for the good Captain Ab, owner and captain of one of the ships with bodies on it, to see if he knows anything about suspicious activity in or around his ship just before the dead people showed up. During the course of this investigation, Johnny proclaimed the good captain's death and I went with it during a meeting with his first mate Ragnaros the Red (the one you were following). In following him, you have walked into some kind of trap.
Would group 1 like a summary too?
We started investigating the dead. Started with the young man with ink stains on his hands. Tracked him to the temple of Nethys. He was a scroll scribe working on an order for a miss Arkadia, who claimed to be the owner of the Last Regret. We investigated her house and found she'd beat a hasty retreat.
To add to what Pelgrev said:
*Taldi (the scribe) was NOT found on the Lady Regret, but one of the other ships.
*Arkadia does not appear in the city rolls as far as we know
*A gardener/herbalist/something overheard her ominous plotting
*Arkadia is not the owner of one of the ships
*nods sagely*
Did we (they) miss anything, DM? :)
That's about right. :)
Sorry for the delay. I have a sickness that has made camp in my gut, making it difficult to operate. I'm trying to work up an update now.
Aouch - that sounds nasty!
Don't exert yourself for us - we can wait a while for you to get better =)
Freia has one casting of Infernal Healing memorized. If Dan is alive it might serve us well to use it on him - the information might be worth it. But if she uses it on him she won't be of much use in any upcoming fight considering her current shape. (Should probably ask Ariana to make some scrolls of that spell ...)
What do you think? (And is he even alive? Deathwatch will probably tell...)
Bump @ Choon: Can Deathwatch tell if Dan alive or not?
He's alive. Barely.
I am so sorry everyone, I'm going to have to drop out.
My parents don't know that I can connect to the Internet on my phone (they think that doesn't work anymore), but otherwise I've been completely disconnected. I'm technically not even supposed to be able to tell you. I just thought you all should know.
My dad doesn't really believe in online PF/DnD anyway, he says that it defeats the purpose of the game (social interaction).
As for Korrith, you can either kill him or use him as an NPC. That's entirely up to you.
That is all, and I am truly sorry.
Thanks for letting us know Korrith. I'll reserve you as an NPC. Who knows, he may even become a drunken Sorrow one day!
Aww that is a harsh sentence indeed. I hope your situation clears up, and it was fun while it lasted!
Good luck! (sounds like you might need it : ) )
I could just have Noro "accidentially" push him into the water when walking by the docks.
A Public Service Announcement:
Tobaris has stepped down from OverGM-ship. However, DM Feral, GM Jen, and I will be working together to keep this going, so never fear. :)
Things may actually speed up now.
Okay =)
Let's hope it is for the best (and that it does not affect his other games ...)
Hmm, I got a semi decent idea how to annoy the other group - and help ram home the fact that we tears are scary masked enforcers of the law :P
I claim #1772 <- I assume we also have four digit numbers, like the other tears?
Good idea or bad idea? Or just lots of work for little gain :P?
Tips: I'm currently using a 'Shae' as avatar, there is a 'Mask' and a 'Mask Golem' (Choons avatar) that could work equally well... :)
