I can see the map, but can't move the fig in my phone. I'll do tonight from my computer.
@Arthorius have you downloaded the new Google Slide app? If not, you are likely accessing through Google Drive, which allows you to view but not alter. The newer, standalone app allows more access.
TO ALL: GAMEPLAY IS NOW LIVE! MAY YOUR FORTUNE BE BETTER THAN THOSE POOR SOULS LOST TO THE FLAMES OF HARROWSTONE!
"To the Professor, and may his light guide us from beyond as he did in life."
Ishara, I believe that you're missing a language; Common, a regional (Osirian, I think) and 4 for Intelligence, right?
@Nasrin: By the way, Dhampirs are not undead, but humanoid. Identifying one is a knowledge (local) check instead of (religion) ;) I guess your check at least tells you the Dhampirs on the party are not vampires or undead!
Oh, I wasn't sure what the regional language would be for someone from Geb, but if Osiriani is free, I guess I'll take Kelish. ...Or maybe Ancient Osiriani. It's always fun to learn a dead language. I assume.
@Daviana and @Alana: could you both please add your vital statistics to the character header, similar to the rest of the group? Thank you.
@Artorius: Yes, but I thought that it was fitting (and I have no ranks in local, uhm). Also, it does not help that the rules do not state exactly how human you look.
@Wayward: done.
As the both the unique living offspring of undead and the fact that they are injured by positive energy and healed by negative, I feel it would be safe to assume that knowledge about undead (which falls haphazardly under 'religion') would likely encompass the enigma that are Dhampir.
Done.
Im working on a gameplay post but I've got a busy day ahead. Sorry for the delay.
Just an update to all my tables: I'll be traveling this holiday weekend and absent for most of the time. I'll be back next week but my connectivity should be a little spotty at least on the first days. For my players: don't worry, I'll get back :) for the tables where I'm the player: I'll come back as well, but meanwhile feel free to bot me if needed to keep things going. Cheers and have a nice holiday weekend!
Sorry for the delay in there. Got hit with a bad migraine with ocular auras Friday afternoon, it had me incapacitated for until this morning, as bright light (including computer screens) only make things worse. Luckily, I get them very rarely (1-2 a year), so we should be back to normal.

And we start it off by splitting the party! That's the way to success.
I sure hope nothing happens at the house...
"Don't you know that you never split the party?" - ah, the same song I've been hearing for almost three decades now :)
And right after warning Alana about dangerous books, I get KO'd by reading a dangerous book. Tempting Fate if I ever knew it.
I just wanted to open the book. You went and tried to actually read. That's what gets you into trouble.
My apologies everyone, my laptop decided to Brick on me last week. I have cobbled together a desktop using an old system I had in my attic and some spare parts from friends. I am now back up and running. Sorry for the delay.
No problem, glad everything's ok.
Hey guys! I'm working on my move and relocation and should be back by Wednesday. Cheers!
Good luck with the move!

The good little Loot fairies conspired with my wife and parents deliver unto me today a brand new shiny laptop! My apologies for the delays over the last two weeks, I hope your all excited to get back into the swing of things.
Hooray loot fairies!
On today's episode of Alana meets an impossible lock...
Holidays period and guess what? I'm going to be absent again this weekend, for some days. I'll be back Tuesday. I hope you all have a fantastic New Year's eve.
For the games I'm playing in: please feel free to bot me as needed, GM. I apologize for the inconvenience!
For the games I'm hosting: don't worry, I'll be back! Feel free to use the period to get your posts current.
I may be able to log in spottily during the weekend.
Cheers!
Sorry for the slow posting rate over the past two weeks. Was running two separate investigations at work into employee issues, which are now resolved. Thank you all for bearing with me.
Other than the slow posting rate, how are people enjoying things thus far?
Honestly, This past few weeks have been bad for me, so I wasn't minding the slowness. Enjoying everything else so far.
Thoroughly enjoying the game, thank you very much!
I'm liking it a lot! I love how we're all being super cautious.
Alana: what a waste of a perfectly good 20 U_U
About the decision (in the discussion thread it's faster, usually): splitting into groups would be faster, provided we don't expect danger. If we expect danger, "never split the party" is a phrase of great wisdom.
And I believe we could use a bit of statistics:
Who Has Social Skills:
Bluff: Alana, Daviana
Diplomacy: Alana, Daviana
Intimidate: Dragomir, Nasrin
Who Has Knowledges:
Arcana Arthorius, Nasrin, Yshara
Dungeoneering Alana, Dragomir
Engineering
Geography
History Daviana, Yshara
Local Alana, Daviana
Nature Arthorius, Dragomir, Yshara
Nobility Alana, Daviana
Planes Nasrin
Religion Arthorius, Daviana, Nasrin, Yshara
If we split the parties to go outside, each of the groups should have Alana or Daviana in it, for Diplomacy (and Bluff)

For the morning's activities at least, if we do a 3 each split it might be a bit better, and safer if we encounter problems. From your breakdown, looks like Arthoruis, Nasrin & Yshara will be best to start the research while Alana, myself and Dragomir go a-wandering. If we encounter trouble that's a pretty strong mini-party, if we can't talk our way out of it.
3 people groups also shouldn't attract too much unwanted attention from the locals. We could hit up the sheriff and the blood. And unless those findings change our overall direction, then the other group could hit up the magic shopkeeper after lunch while we take over researching (probably taking Alana too, and if someone wants to stay badly still leaves 3). This also get's everyone "out" in town. Show the locals we are friendly and mean no harm?
This gives a bunch of time to check out the rest of the professor's papers, maybe find another lead. Then based on all findings from there, decide if we want to hit the church before or after the crypt. Have that discussion over dinner.
Sounds like a good plan.
That's a good bit of research you've put in Nasrin, thanks. Looks like I should have taken Kn Geography perhaps, although so far the reason Dragomir hasn't been to concerned with Ishara is that he really doesn't know much about Geb or the the rest of the world outside of Ustalav.
Definitely having a good time!
@Nasrin: I wouldn't call that nat 20 a "waste," since it's great fodder for rp. I especially liked Dragomir's reaction. But I understand your point. ;)
Oh, and technically I have all knowledge skills, thanks to Bardic Knowledge. Right now, it's only a +4 for the skills I haven't put points in, but hopefully there will be more good rolls in the future.
I think Daviana's plan is solid.
Are we waiting on someone?
Yes, the GM. Disappeared from another game as well... I don't know if the AP is cursed or Nasrin is.
