Hey everyone, use this to check in and ask any questions you may have.
Work out any background stuff you still have, etc, etc.
Hi DM Tuyena... and all... just have to tweak my sheet a bit to reflect the game and all... Thanks for picking me, Tuyena! I am thrilled to be here.
Glad to have you, hopefully your investigatorisms will keep the party from getting in over their heads.
I hope so!
Hero online!
Hi Neils.. nice to meet ya!
Likewise
Morning all
Interesting group so far, I like that Psionics and hybrid classes allow for variant class rolls.
Looking forward to seeing who else rocks up.
Can you give us any idea who else is in GM?
I am definitely in the immediate vicinity of this thread.

The total party make up should look like:
Endoralis -> Nil:Aegis
Sundakan -> Ptolem:Warder
Olaf -> Alianne:Cleric/Templar
JAF0 -> Varian:Investigator
Louxman -> Somonti:Vitalist
Johnnycat93 -> Neils:Soulknife
And Boop
Here we go!
Looking forwards to seeing how channel energy pairs up with a vitalist. I always wanted to have those two work together.
Should go over relatively well.
Who's on the frontline with me?
It'll be crazy awesome! Especially when I can force enemies into the collective, you can channel with impunity.
Who's on the frontline with me?
I lead from the back, but I'm close enough to aid my minions in battle.
Finishing up my trim-back by the by, and realized I'll have significantly fewer skill ranks. Don't suppose we can use Background Skills for this game?
Losing History and Nobility isn't a huge deal, but it'd be nice to have.
I completely forgot about background skills.
And I'm an Aegis, Pretty much can do what is needed at the time. Nil won't use his Armor version often, but wont be afraid to do so either. 2d6+7 ain't nothing to sneeze at.

I'll be sure to send you a post card
"Wish you were here."
Doesn't seem like there's much of a hook for us to post on in the gameplay thread. Luckily we see pretty talketive here.
Everyone ok if we skip introductions and just assume we know at least a little about each other?
I hope so, otherwise the first time Ptolem opens his mouth people are probably going to try and lynch him.
I mentioned it in the Recruitment thread but in case anyone missed it we are using Background skills.
Oh, just remembered another issue. Last DM let me take the +2 Int variant Aasimar ability. I'm guessing that's a no-go here since we were supposed to roll?
Let's see if I'm a lucky ducky.
Well, +2 Wis instead. Might be able to finagle that to keep my 16 Int.
thanks for the reminder about background skills... I added 2 points in (not surprisingly) a couple of knowledges i had no levels in.
Ok, as a Samsaran, Somonti gets to pick some class skills, are we short on anything obvious? I've taken Perception for one, then I was thinking Survival?
survival is a handy skill to have, especially if we're going to be traveling in the wilderness a bit.. don't know if anyone else took survival skill.

Just to be clear, this was partly a joke. Ptolem is a Reach weapon using Warder.
So he won't be FRONT lines, but he'll be there to wallop things in melee with you, and give you sweet AC boosts with his Aegis aura.
No pressure felt, I'm sure I'll be fine. At least for a while.
Anywho, it looks like everyone has reported in. What're we still working on?
Acrobatics could be a good skill for moving around the field.
Mainly I was just waiting on confirmation that everyone's sheet was 100% and to see if any of you wanted to work out any more to your back story such as if you knew any other characters ahead of time, etc.
If everyone is ready then I'll get something of substance up in the game play soon.

My sheet's done.
I don't mind if anyone wants to link backstories. Beyond that I'm read.y.
I'm thinking that since Alianne is looking for her captive, and hopefully not yet sacrificed younger sister, maybe Neils is helping her out with that? He sounds like the type to stand up for a lady in need, for a given value of 'lady'. He needs heroic deeds on his resume if he's ever to found that knightly order, after all.

Sounds right up my alley. You've got yourself a hero.
Varian you may want to rework/add a bit to your back story, as nice as it is.
Since the campaign will be taking place in Taldor as opposed to Varisia.
Perhaps Varian left Sandpoint after his training, or maybe he just departed for Taldor after Magnimar.
The choice is up to you of course, or you are free to rework any points you like.

I will rework the backstory some - that was written for a RotRL game I will work on that tonight.
FYI I will be out all day tomorrow and won't be able to post til late tomorrow night... this sort of thing is not the norm for me, but it does happen from time to time. Usually I can post multiple times per day all through the day. Sorry for any inconvenience.
Womp womp.
I guess three rumors are okay. Can we share them?
Edit: My rumors is in the spoiler below, feel free to read if Tuyena gives the A-OK.
Yikes. Let's not spend more time traveling than we have to.
"Bah! I’ve been to those halls. Beset by foul skeletons, we were. They shrieked like the ones from the famed dungeon of Rappan Athuk. My priest couldn’t defeat them. They ate our halfling. I destroyed one, but it took all my strength. I’m no novice, boy. Those creatures were of an evil I never want to meet again! Mark my words!"
Soo... Skeletons immune to positive energy?
"I heard from a band of dwarves who were deep in their cups in the inn tell a story of their lost companion who was killed by a strange insect thing. They said they fled and left his body behind—as well as his magical throwing axe. They spoke of retrieving his body, but I haven't seen them since."
Okay, so they probably went in there to get his body, and died. NB: in lair of 'strange insect thing', look out for loot. There should be a magical throwing axe. Also, there should be dead dwarves lying around somewhere nearby, might be you could loot those too.

Yes you're more than welcome to share them.
I wouldn't jump to "Positive Energy immune", just relatively resilient. He did eventually destroy it.
Basically, higher HD skeletons.
just an fyi, Tuyena, I did rework his background a little to fit into Taldor... instead of Varisia...
OK great I'll check it out soon.

Since it was brought up if you all would hash out for me your general watch cycles.
In addition to marching order, and the order you all wish to enter rooms, etc when exploring.
I will default to these outlined orders when doing anything involving such activities unless you otherwise make note of any differences.

I'll go first in both cases.
Varian would like first watch or last watch, and about the middle of the group for exploring, enter rooms, etc.
Second watch as that tends to be the darkest time and he has the capability to respond and retaliate quickly while having the senses to see said threats. Nil will cover the rear during exploration.
Second line for entering a room, one of the dark watches (so midnight or a few hours on either side) since Ptolem has Darkvision too.
It looks like you have 3 dark vision, 2 with human eyes, and 1 low-light.
So your best watch order maybe something like:
1st - Varian and Neils
2nd - Nil and Somonti
3rd - Ptolem and Alianne
