The Root of All Evil

Game Master Edward Sobel

Hello all. Very tired will update tomorrow.

Had regular table game today. Convinced the paladin to not destroy evil.

Why?
(You can totes answer this in the mornin when you're feeling better

Well, people now know what I look like anyway. And speaking of appearances, for players playing uncommon races, to what extent do you look/not look human? Tatsuo has probably never seen a member of your race and only heard about them as part of tales and legends, so I'd like to know who he's likely to be staring at. ;-)

Also, I wasn't particularly planning on getting Haste, but I suppose I could grab some scrolls. I should perhaps also note that as a crossblooded sorceror, I won't actually ~know~ any spells of a given level until the level after I'm first able to cast it. Which is why my feat at level 3 will be a metamagic one, so I'm at least not wasting those spell slots.

Does Aasimar count as uncommon enough ?

And there is no one root of evil. If you talk about Golarion, it's the sum of the evil Planes

Possibly. Honestly, Tatsuo probably hadn't met many non-humans until a few days + however long it took to get to the island ago. :-P

time to work on updateing sorry about the delay.

My boss keeps thinking I have to work to earn my pay.

I used the wrong alias. >_<

just waiting on out oracle to get her with the group.

Shall I assume a relatively uneventful voyage and get to the place in my next post?

voyage is up to you. I am assuming uneventful.

will give another 12 hours for the oracle then will look for alternatives.

I guess I am not that great of a GM to loose a player before it even starts

open to suggestions about our oracle...

wait longer?

continue without?

find replacement?

I thought she was here? Didn't we get a post?

Don't go with the spot unfilled. Could we PM the person?

no in game post

i already sent a PM (twice)

responded to the first one then vanished again

I'd say continue without for a bit,
maybe tell someone else if the oracle doesn't show soon they're in
we could say the oracle's boat was held up by a storm

Nope. Don't knock yourself for losing a player.

..And I missed that the gameplay thread was already up. Feeling very smart now. (not) Will be able to post at an increased rate to catch up, and/or having a shorter prequel, if needed. My sincere apologies for the wait.

Haha! Its okay. Ive done it before.

Once Letha joins everyone at the manor we can proceed with the reading of the will

Could you do me a favor and remove Roy from the roster so he could stop showing up? :(

Done...

Thanks. :)

Did I ever even tell half elf guy my name? Does /anyone/ know it?

half-elf guy knows your name before he approached you, the interesting thing is nobody ever asked him what his name was.

I don't have the people skills to ask. What're their excuses? XD

Mrimmy was far too embarrassed about bumping into ya'll literally. XD

I think they are talking about the half elf
and I didn't ask as I was upset and not seeing through the poker face

Prequel nearly wrapped up. I was audacious enough to ask the half-elf a certain question. After I get the answer, we could just skip to reading the will. Keeps the others from having to wait longer. any introductions could be done after that.

Tatsuo considered asking him his name. And then decided there wasn't actually any real reason to do so. After all, he had much more important information to give than his name.

Sam would have asked if he thought the answer would help.

actually the answer may be useful as the story unfolds. but true, initally it is unimportant. but as long as at least one party member knows his name is good enough.

Mrimmy, I was assuming our part there was pre-timeshift.

yes, also I am giving people a chance to respond to the intro first then proceed to the reading of the will. sorry if it wasn't quite obvious that you are gathered for the reading.

also I was hoping that there would be a little more interaction with each other but oh well.

consider everyone rested and the will reading taking place in the morning after breakfast.

Conner does not want to be the mysterious type but if he sees people being all serious he won't approach

I am typing up the will as we speak it is a rather long post so please be patient.

I am typing it up in word first to make sure I don't loose it.

will be out most of today. (work and a table game.

may not update till later tonight.

if you have any questions for the old man reading the will or for Adrian get em posted and I will try to address as much as I can when I get home later.

Hope tomorrow is better for you Ed. :)
We had a little snow here, but nothing stuck. :(

[ooc] Can Letha figure out that Connor is an Aasimar without knowledge planes, because she is one herself ?[ooc]

@Connor: what ? why ? I reckon you'd want to go into a dangerous vault with people who are serious.

are you refering to my above discussion post?
please note the time of posting
it was written hours before the one where the will was actually read (unless I'm mistaken) I prefer to sit with nice, fun people (preferably with the majority of them being reasonably attractive females) over the serious, gruff and somber types

Well, Tatsuo's a very pretty Asian male. And if you've ever seen an Asian boy band, that can be pretty close to an attractive female. ;-P

true enough, though I don't follow the Asian musical culture (well not current, I do enjoy older Chinese instrumental pieces) I know this from manga/anime
though it's not Asia in this setting it's Tian :P

Good to know. I actually know basically nothing about the Pathfinder world. Although based on some modules, I knew there was some Asia-equivalent.

effeminate; yes. Attractive; not so much.

Letha would not need to roll any knowledge skills for this case she would know the effect immediately.

If you say so. Although I've definitely mistaken some of them for pretty girls rather than pretty guys. But perhaps our definition of "attractive" is different. Either way, Tatsuo actually isn't that effeminate.

will move the story along later tonight.

move on to the cellar?

ah, shame that would have been amusing to RP when (if (ha)) Conner found out the true gender

will move the story along later tonight.

move on to the cellar?

sure, I'm down, it'd be nice if I could have better armor than chain but that's first level money for ya and I bought my sword first

and I agree some of them are more easily mistaken as girls than guys (albeit young-ish flat chested ones but then in japan smallish boobs are considered attractive)

Well, given that he just introduced you to a tattoo on his chest, unless you weren't paying attention to that, you'd still know that he was probably not a girl.

does this place have an armory?

I'm down for going to the cellar as well.

I wasn't paying attention but he probably was, I'm going to go re read that

just a hint... I said to settle the debt. remember your in the Shackles.

the old man and Adrian are pirates. the real questions is ...and this really speaks to Conner...
are you going to "call?"

It's a good thing Tatsuo is from an isolated village in the mountains. It means my out of game lack of knowledge of the Pathfinder world/in this case the Shackles, translates perfectly into his lack of knowledge of the world. :-P
