Thanks for letting us know!
@Samoon: Enjoy!
Samoon is out of town starting now if I recall, so I'll address his question to Albreane when he gets back.
I'd imagine Samoon would have an awkward conversation with Albreane (which we could RP later) and then he would go home for the night (half a candle after Samen got home)
I'm going to let the current scene (mother and the family) sit until Monday evening. That will give Samoon time to catch up (no pressure). Feel free to RP in the meantime. I'll start with morning of the new day on Monday evening.
Was Paizo down for everyone else too? If not, my apologies for the absence, I’ve been locked out for a couple days or so.
It was down for me last night.
Yeah the forum was down for a while there. Apparently they tried a major update.
Agreed, lots of down time.
In some threads, I can't get to the last (current) page!
I will be away for both of the next two weekends. I should still be able to post at points during both, but less regularly than usual for me at weekends.
I'll be out backpacking Friday through Sunday (two more weekends of this! :) ) Bot Samoon as needed!
Aye, I've no issues with you botting Wamblee either.
Sounds good! Although I'm generally ok with weekends being slower, so we'll see if botting is necessary or not.
With so many people being away or unable to get to a computer, let's put on an unofficial hiatus until Sunday night. I'll update then. (maybe a minor update tonight too)
That's fine by me.
Okie Dokie
I'm out again, Thursday to Sunday, in the wilderness...braving fire and crowds to get to the Sierras!
And is anyone else still getting site wonkiness on Chrome? I have had to post using Safari!
Yep - site wouldn't load, pictures wouldn't load, etc, but it seems ok now.
rough meaning of a "brass feast", as can be found in the Phrases and Idioms link:
A brass feast - an illusion ; something false mistaken for something real ; a wish gone wrong (origin from one or more tales involving efreet)
I'm having some issues posting from mobile Opera
Skill Challenge!
--DC for a success is 12.
--A given character can only succeed with a given skill/ability check once. Gotta find another skill to succeed with after that.
--Each PC will roll with one chosen skill, and, depending on the result, post a short description of what their action looked like. After all four have been posted, I'll put together a "results" post and we'll do it again.
--The following skills are definitely applicable:
Strength check, to move the rocks
Knowledge Engineering
Acrobatics could be used to get in a tight or precarious place to help loosen the pile
--Other skills CAN be applicable, but only with a reasonable in-game explanation. A shaky explanation may add +2 or +4 to the DC.
--Successes will get you closer to getting out.
--Failures will NOT necessarily lead to inevitable death; instead, you may have damage coming your way (fires, collapsing roof)
Note: I have also had players at my other tables do creative things like an attack, or a use of alchemy, spells, abilites, etc that might help, and I'm cool with that too (as long as it makes sense. attacking the rock wall, for instance, likely would not make sense)
Unless it’s with a really big hammer. Then it might work. ;)
Jokes aside, I’ve never seen something like this before, and it’s a cool idea!
I can't take credit for it - 4th edition D&D had something similar, and I've seen youtube DMing videos mention it, probably someone on the forums too :)
It's a fun little thing, and it seems to work well for PbP too.
Ok! Skill challenge over! I can't deny that you all crushed it!
You are all now level 2! And since you are out of danger for now, you can feel free to level over the weekend. If it's not too much trouble, I appreciate a super-quick summary of changes as we level.
Huzzah!
It'll be likely be a few days before I level up.
Sounds good - no rush.
Marianne should be up to date. Increased hp, BAB, Fort, Ref. Only choice I actually had was combat style feat, and I took Precise Shot
I'm planning on posting Monday, either afternoon or evening. Feel free to RP in the meantime.
I increased hp, BAB and saves. No choices at this level. I can now beat people over the head with touch spells.
Hullo--I am back and almost finished leveling up. I chose Infusion so I can healbot a bit with CLW potions. (And probably super-stealth Chameleons aren't that useful in the game)
Oops, forgot skills, and I can’t edit again. I’ll get those updated as soon as I can.
Level 2 Monk
BAB +1
HP 10-> 18
Saves: +1 all
Flurry of Blows: +0/+0
Hard as Stone (Ex)
At 2nd level, whenever an opponent rolls to confirm a critical hit against a student of stone, treat the student of stone’s AC as +4 higher than normal.
This ability replaces evasion.
Bonus Feat: Combat Reflexes
Skills Improved: Acrobatics +1
Skills Gained: Climb, Perception, Stealth.
Forgot to do the quick summary of leveling:
Discovery added: Infusion
Spell added: CLW
Skills: +1 Appraise
+1 Alchemy
+1 Craft Glass (just changed this, duh)
+1 Diplomacy
+1 Kn Arcana
+1 Kn Nature
+1 Perception
+1 UMD
Bombs are now 6/day.
Thanks for the updates, everyone! Much appreciated!
Site is awful for me right now. I will try to get a post up.
wait...I got in? Been trying for two days!
sound off! I'll plan on updating this afternoon :)
I'm about.
Welcome back from oblivion. I hope everyone enjoyed their trip.
Alrighty, gameplay is humming again. I'm probably going to let the scene sit for the rest of the day, just to give everyone a chance to remember where we are and to RP.
In the meantime, please figure out as a group if you are going to push all night to get to Forge sooner (and get fatigue) or stop for the night and arrive the next day around noon.
If we're deciding in discussion, Wamblee is all for pressing on during the night.
I'm okay either way.
Marianne would push for all night.
Sounds good. I'll update tonight.
Sweet Zombie Aroden, the forums live.
I had trouble posting last night and this morning, so I'll aim for an update tonight to get the week started.
Hopefully back properly now.
we'll see...
