Yeah, poor Kennie, he is a CG guard. That's why bring you guys water and not really obey his orders. And who in a sane condition would resist 4 somewhat gorgeous young girls? Even if they are forsaken!
Just one more thing. My memory is not that good anymore. Can you guys put you fake name (if you are using one) with your char information just below the alias name? It really helps when traking stuffs as initiative.
@Sozia I saw it in your information It really helps, somethings It's kinda hard to remember: Who the hell is Adanna? And then, I need to real all the post until find it is Nahia. :D

There's a part of me that wants to keep him around, just to see if I can gradually break him down and make him pull an Anakin Skywalker at some point in the future. :p
@Sozia Oh please, don't torment poor Kennie, he is such a good lad!
@DM Aku: Yeah, I'll fix it, sorry about that.
@Sozia: Is it bad that I was thinking the same thing? I mean, he already tried to be a priest of Mitra and failed. I'd like to see him go full on Death Knight or at least become the eccentric hedonistic leader of a thieves guild.
Yay! way to go!! Villains has to have minions! Otherwise, where is the fun? :D
I won't kill him then, we can restrain him and see what comes of it.
Marsella plans to spare him if possible (for the water), also so we can steal his clothes (without blood getting on them) and dress up Zerik or Eric in them.
Looks like he's lucky!
@Zerik and Eric, remember in the future, sleeping opponents are helpless, and so you can take a full round action to coup de grace.
That is especially good to remember, since slumber will be a major part of my combat routine.
Also remember to stand up!
@Aku
To clarify, I didn't attack from Prone in the surprise round. Stood up, then queued actions for Round 1.
Oh, dang. My bad. Anyway. I will let it stay as it is. No harm done I suppose.
@Nahia, that's why I'm standing over the sleeping guard with a longsword waiting for round 2. *evil smile*
@ GM Aku: ANd my surprise round action is to extract myself from the shackles and stand up dagger ready. Attack during round 1 and then move.
Map updated, it's nice so far. The guards did not stand a chance.
Well done Villains, very well done!

Great minds, et al... :p
That said, it's probably best to just take him out. He's a liability at the moment and we're not in a strong enough position just yet where we can take any major risks. Besides, I need a few more spells before I can do the kind of paranoia-inducing things I'd really like to do.
@DM Aku, Thanks!

Eh, we can always leave him gagged and shackled in here for now, and then see how things turn out. It isn't like the alarm won't be raised when they notice us missing (plus the dead body).
Also, I like the more slow, methodical temptation of pleasure and power, convincing him of how wrong the church is (or at least the people who run it), etc over fear and paranoia. Perfect for charm person spells, which I think we both have.
I can't find the post about what gear the guards had so please let us know what the guards had.
I didn't make the perception rolls since I believe you want to do those yourself.
Does the secured cell have a window we can look in through?

Added hostages info at campaign tab, with Kennie information.
Eric stands up for the surprise round, dagger in hand. He rushes the first available guard .
"No loose ends!" half shouts Eric as he tries to drive the dagger deep into the closest guard.
[dice=Attack with Power Attack]1d20+5
[dice=Damage]1d4+7 lethal
Eric, you have str 20. And at that moment you had the other hand free. There's no problem to use both hands in this case, your dmg would be: 5(str) + 2(from holding with 2 hands) + 2 (from power atk) + the value from dice (in that case, another 2) = 11 dmg. :D
Just noticed Kennie should be +3 with the bow. +2 bab +1 dex
I like this guy. We give him toughness and or power attack, breast plate, his shield, sword, a Combat trained horse and he will be awesome. Could be a great squire for Erik if he is into that sort of thing or more likely a bodyguard for one the more fragile (but no less Deadly) female party members.

Not really, they all have a -1 penality because of moral. The prison is in shambles, they sargent is a bully and keep cheating then, the Prison Warden, don't leave his tower. All in all, they are not motivated and get a -1 :D
Ah, makes sense.

Except the dagger is a light weapon, and you can only two-hand wield a 1 or 2 handed weapon. : /
Oh dang. Forgot about that, but anyway, You did not need that. :D
Edit: Deleted for stupidity, posted without properly reading what I was replying to.
Actually, if I recall, using a light weapon in two hands does not get the benefit of 1.5x str to damage.
@Zerik, I do like the idea of squires and leadership. I do know some DMs don't like PCs getting too many NPC followers/cohorts (or any at all) so I was going to wait until later about all that.
Couple of things about Eric that I should have clarified a little bit further: He isn't formally trained in fighting nor is he intelligent (Int=8) so I wasn't planning to use more advanced tactics with hims until later (e.g. coup de grace, flanking, etc). Trying to play up the slightly slower Int and the background a little bit. Sorry for any confusion (and for making a mess of plans XD). I promise, he will get better at his role in the party soon-ish.
Also, it seems like everything happens after midnight. :)

Understood. And of course, play to your character (advanced plans or not). : )
Though I will put forth the argument that a coup de grace is not any kind of advanced technique. You just have an opponent that can't resist so you take the time to make sure you hit them in a vital area (if you can slit a throat, you can coup de grace).
And yeah, the night I decide to watch a movie with a friend of mine and that's when everyone is on and being active. :D
On a different note, I learned something new from the Grumblejack picture. I never knew ogres only had 3 toes...
lol ya coming back to 13 new posts in gameplay was a bit of a shock.

Or in the morning. Either way, this group is rather active.
Remember than even animals (like wolves) flank, and they have Int 1-2. You can play it how you want, of course.
Do the clubs we recovered do bashing lethal or non lethal damage?
Half of damage is lethal other half is non-lethal.
Allies info added in campaign tab.
Question: Is there any chance we may one day go mythic? It'd probably take too much on the fly conversion on the DM-side to keep things challenging, but the raw possibility inherit in a mythic modify memory spell interests me too much not to ask...
One thing about pbp games I really like.
In the end, you can just get the text and with minor adjustments, you have an entire "book". Btw, that's what I'm doing. Just for fun.
@Sozia I've never read any of the mythic stuff. I will try read it.
Talking about mindspell, I'm playing a bard in a 3.5 campaign. Just got the Sublime Chord PrC. Later, I'll get this spell. :D
@Zerik @Eric Don't forget the adjust your skills to the armor penality (-2 on all Dex/Str skills).
Yup, I'm aware of that. Thanks for the reminder.
Climbing with a rope is DC 5 so it shouldn't an issue if you take 10 you make it automatically.
If you have to roll unless you miss the DC by less than 5 (which isn't possible on a DC 5 roll) you make no progress so climbing a rope isn't an issue for anyone unless they have less than 10 strength and roll a 1.
I was under the impression that the sun had set by now since quite a bit had happened since I first went up on the roof the first time. Then came back down, told them what I saw, went to the kitchens told them what I saw, then the passage, discussed the best course of action.
I don't think we would have climbed out onto the roof in daylight when we knew there were guards about. Besides, unless I'm mistaken, dusk *half an hour to sunset) is low light, so can the guards see that far? Sorry if I sound like I'm being difficult should have specified when we went up. Since it's happened we cal roll with it :)
Not to but in, but don't forget perception checks (on both sides) suffer a -1 for every 10' of distance traveled as well.

Yeah, I know. I've taken that into account with the guards.

Cool, I just didn't see it in the math block so I thought I would mention it.
Sorry, I'm still newbie in pbp. I always forget to put the math block. I'll improve. Promisse. :D

Well, this is my first pbp as well, so you're doing great as far as I am concerned. :D
Zerik looks at very practically. If Kennie is a liability we kill him.
Other than that though we can keep him, toys are fun. We'll probably have to end up killing him, since he isn't going to go from sympathetic prison guard to evil creature lackey overnight unless we can convince us being captured was some sort of conspiracy etc. that would play to his CGness.

Sounds reasonable enough.
We're dragging him along? I missed that part. I guess I'll have to give the thread a more thorough read than I did this weekend.
When it fits in remember to do a knowledge nature check on the plant.
I think we intended to lock him up, alive and gagged, in a cell and to come back for him if things went well, though rereading the thread I can see how that wouldn't be clear. And of course I'm not against killing him if we have to.

That was my understanding as well.
