Post here to check in. We shall start shortly
Good day fellow adventurers.
Nice to meet you all fellow adventurers.
Having trouble with broadband connection but hope it won't effect Natty's contributions.
Yo, sup.
gameplay is up, post when ready
just need Maus to post in the gameplay thread and we will continue
For combat, I do group initiative, which is the average initiative of both groups and then I roll them. Players can post turning their turn and once all players have posted, the round will end. I find that for Pbp it makes combat go quicker.
So we have..
Half-orc rogue - darkvision - thug type thief - front row??? but quite squishy...
Human barbarian - normal vision - fighty type - not so squishy - front row
Half-orc Inquisitor - darkvision - spell/fighty - back row
Human cleric - normal vision - middle row - spell type, but goodish armor
Dwarf wizard - darkvision - middle row - spell type
So front row, Cilda, Natty, 2nd row Maus, Chotzu, 3rd row Ralthak
Obviously Cilda is the fighty front type...
The real squishy ones should be in the middle .. they need to be protected to be able to cast their spells. So having somone at the back to help protect the middle row, Ralthak can do both spell and fight. That leaves Natty into the front row, to help Cilda, not sure how he's gonna get round to do flanking though?
Anyway that's how I came up with the order, though happy if someone wants to change it, just thought I'd get a marching order out there so we can agree/discuss.
Obviously Natty will do the disabling of traps if we spot one.
Alright, i'm liking the order for the party to enter.
BTW Natty, Cilda might be a tad...stand-offish to your character, based on how he's been acting so far. Just want to give you the fyi so that you know it's only from a character standpoint.
We're gonna need Natty up front to detect traps anyways :)
My goal is to be a striker and flanker.

Thats OK .. Natty isn't as nice as I am!!!
It's nothing against anyone, but I don't expect him to be liked too much, but hopefully tolerated because he's useful and not altogether bad, he's not evil that's for sure..

Alright, that's cool. It's just this is the first time I've done a game where people aren't actually all gathered around a table or something similar, so I didn't want there to be confusion.
I think we can all be expected to play the role of our character and it won't be interpreted as attacks or slights to the players.
Let's get this party started :)
Still waiting on Clida and Ralthak for their surprise round action. Once they post we will move on to Round 1. If they haven't posted by about 5pm EST, we will move to Round 1
Sorry guys, I did not realized we had moved forward. The lack of new post tags hit me also.
yeah its annoying, seems to be fixed for the most part now
I give 24 hours for a response before we move on. I will take that advice under consideration and auto you if you haven't posted in 24 hours
If you need to 4 man this module, it will be tough, but still doable
I am really sorry guys. Got hit by a storm yesterday and lost power/internet connection.
I've been freaking out, trying to get in touch with the group in some way. I apologize for being late.
I assume you got hit by Debby
posting will be a bit slow this weekend, busy helping family move and celebrating Canada Day tomorrow
Canada Day: its like the 4th of July, only not quite as good. :P
We only get days like that when its an anniversary celebration, otherwise they're just Bank Holidays ... least we got a couple of extra days this year for good old Queen Liz's Jubilee ... god bless her.
Everyone still having fun? This is usually different then my usual campaigns as I try to run homebrews and this seems more informal, then again the module is an old fashioned crawl
Yup all good.
I'm having a fantastic time! Loving everything that's been going on so far. Hopefully we can keep this up for the rest of the module.
All good here except for the dammage ... :) ... the life of a rogue ..
You're the rogue.. why can't you climb a rope?? ;)
Lazy rogues like to use the stairs that are provided ... ;)
... and I didn't say he was a very good rogue...
I get the same thing with my home group of players. They cheer when they get the crit deck or when enemies get the fumble deck, and groan when they fumble or get critted on.
Had one situtation that was fun enough to repeat. Had the group playing Serpent's Skull, first book. They got to the BBEG at the end of the book. He gets first init, his first attack, he fumbles, does x3 damage to himself with his spear. I roll max damage, he dies. So I'm imagining it in my head, the fight starts he charges at them, the spear catches in one of the tiles on the floor and he impales himself. I got a standing ovation on that one

Awesome. Seriously, that is just plain hilarious. Probably the best way that you could end any adventure. "So, puny adventureres, you think that you can best me? NO ONE SHALL DEFEAT ME! I AM----ugh." /dropdowndead
Just to let you know I'll be at PaizoConUK next weekend 20th-23rd-ish and therefore won't be posting. And again from 2nd Aug to 5th Aug at the local Music Festival, so feel free to GM bot for those periods so as not to slow anything down.
No problem good sir!
I'm totaling 610Xp? Should it be 660? Not that big a deal I guess.
610 sounds right to me.
I've got 670, but I doubt it's that big of a deal.
hey guys, so if any of you are familiar with The Godsmouth Heresy, then you may get confused shortly.
I spend too much time on pbp, so I have to cut back, so instead of just leaving you guys high and dry, we are going to change a few things and get you guys to the BBEG. That way we finish it and everyone's happy

'Tis a shame, I've really enjoyed this game, the interactions between the characters has been great. Not to mention some good solid GMing which has kept the game moving along. But I know how it is, as I've had to drop DMing games because they take up a lot more time than just playing and appreciate GM Tierce's work so far in getting this off the ground and flowing. Hope we can do the BBEG justice when we get to him and maybe even defeat him.
I'm sure you will, never had a TPK on my watch!
Well, alright then. Unfortunate that we won't get the whole experience, but at least we'll be finishing this. Can't wait to see what happens!
:(
I excel at helping my party achieve TPK:)
