Welcome to the Way of the Wicked. Come on in and say, "Hi," to the others. If you wish to make any changes to your character, now is the time to do so. A couple things:
•Please place major stats in your heading (Current HP/Total HP || Init || AC/Touch/FF || Fort; Ref; Will || Perception (Senses); Sense Motive).
•I will roll initiative and any reactive rolls for you.
•Combat will be done in blocks. Ex:
Initiative comes up:
Gilligan ->8
Skipper->13
Mr. Howell->1
Mrs. Howell->20
Ginger->4
Professer->25 (Improved Initiative) :)
Mary-ann->15
Enemy Animated Coconuts->10
Enemy Tree->18
Combat will go: Block A (Professor and Mrs. Howell)->Enemy A (Enemy Tree)->Block B (Skipper and Mary-ann)->Enemy B (Enemy Animated Coconuts)->Block C (Gilligan, Mr. Howell, and Ginger)
You can act any time within your block, I will take actions within any given block in order of who posts first. This should reduce wait time without invalidating a high initiative modifier.
•I expect 1 post per day over the week. On the weekend, you can post as much or little as you like--and I will try to post if you do--but I don't expect it and I don't expect I will get a post up every weekend.
•I will mostly try to run RAW, but I am willing to change some of them if presented with a good reason as to why it should be different.
•This game is designed for a lot of the things you can't do in the hero campaigns. If you want to become a vampire, it's possible. A lich? That too. Something else? Let me know and we'll see what we can come up with. As long as I can keep the game balanced (meaning you're all about the same power level), we'll figure out a way to make it happen.
•Any familiars, animal companions, other companions that cannot be dismissed to another plane have been killed. Those who have a class feature with one of these things will get a chance to receive a new one. If you have one, please let me know what kind you want so that I can have it appear at the appropriate time.
•Most of all have fun! That's what this game is for.
Hi everybody!
Just checking in for now. Will do another once over of my character to finalize him before the end of Saturday. By that I mean, make sure all the numbers are correct and get everything set up correctly, not as mechanically the character needs a lot of work.
Hi,
Checking in for table 1! I'll sort my character sheet into the character tab and so forth directly. Thanks so much for picking me and I look forward to RPing with you all.
Okay, looks like the character tab doesn't get created till you post in the thread... or did I miss something?
Hi everyone! I'm so glad for this chance to play with you all. I am excited to get going. For now I'll check over my stuff as Paul is doing and get myself ready to go.

Yeah, we have to post in the Gameplay Thread before our characters are actually considered part of the game. And for us to do that, the GM has to put up the first post.
Hello! Everyone is being awfully polite for a bunch of villains XD! So posting here.
Reporting for duty.

To quote Winston Churchill:
"When you have to kill a man, it costs nothing to be polite." ;)
...and just testing my Eidolon.
I do have one quick question about my summons. By RAW, because I am evil, a lot of the monsters I summon become fiendish versions.
Because this is more of a lawful evil/Asmodeus type of game would I be able to re-skin them as infernal creatures? By that I mean, the stats stay exactly the same, but we would call Infernal them from an RP perspective.
Welcome everyone. Looks like most have checked in here. The only one we haven't heard from yet is Dog Tooth. I will get the first Gameplay post up soon and when you're ready, you can post. You can roleplay a little until I get things started (which I will do when everyone has introduced themeselves in gameplay). No rush to get started, post when you are ready.
@Ami: Absolutely. I guess when I say RAW, I mean the mechanics. Anything can be re-flavored.

Thanks. Just wanted to be safe and ask.
Also, regarding Dogtooth...the impression I got from his last post in recruitment is that he is still waiting to hear who got in. He might need a nudge to check his PMs...
Also, yay Dogtooth! That guy is hilarious. I kind of figured he would get picked, but I am glad it is for this table.
Gameplay thread is up. I'm going to put a map up at the top as well so you can see where you all are.
Cool. I'll have a post up soon.
A little note on formatting. Traditionally Bold is used for speech, italics for thoughts, I don't think it matters too much, but I do think you should all come to an agreement so that it's uniform. Any other thoughts?

Fine by me.
Same here, I was already thinking on going with that
Hi.
Currently at work. I'll attempt a more friendly post once I'm out!
No problem. Just wanted to make sure you got it.
Ha. We really are the freaks. Two tiefling's a gnome, a goblin, a kasatha and our most normal creature, an elf.
Party face, woo! Good job I became personable when I rerolled... I'd better take than undetectable alignment damnation feat...
Just so you know, you can use spell-like abilities with a successful concentration check. . . . That is if you still decide you want it after this development.
Finally home from work and done with dinner.
So excited to be apart of this game! Looking forward to having some interesting interactions. I'm so happy I'm not the only one who has to worry about disguising themselves while walking in public.
A few question for Mr. GM:
Goblins start out speaking the language "Goblin". Given his upbringing, could I switch that out with Common, and use the extra language for something more science-y? Is there a single language that is considered the language of science or scholars?
Also, I haven't picked out any extracts at all. I'd really like to find a formula book and just go with that, unless you'd prefer if I chose.
Oops goofed on the aliases and can't edit it...that's what I get for trying to type on my cellphone...
I can delete and re - add or leave it if that would mess up the flow...
Eh. I think it'll be fine as is. Mistakes like that happen, it's no big deal. As long as its not every post and uncorrectable, it'll be fine.
Now that Iana has shown the veil, there is a link to a picture of it at the top of the page.
Ash, you were able to have prepared spells before coming to Branderscar. What spells do you have prepared?
And Paul, mark your prepared spells as well.
Yeah, sorry for the lack of posting. This weekend has been a bit busy for me. I should have something more substantial in the gameplay thread and have my character done sometime soon.
Hey, I have a question about the ritual to summon my Eidolon. Its described in very ambiguous terms regarding components. It just says its a ritual and its one minute.
The player's guide said I couldn't do it until I was unshackled...so I am assuming somatic components are required...but does it require verbal components?
Yes (At least that's what I'm going to say), but you are able to be quiet enough to not be a problem.
I've moved the tokens
I'm going to be offline, probably until tomorrow... If it's holding things up, feel free to bot me.
I doubt Ami will need to do much, but Itzal will be trying to assist Dog Tooth however he can.
His relevant bonuses for quick reference:
-Perception +12
-Stealth +16
-Sleight of Hand +13
-Climb +8 (w/30ft climb speed)
No big deal. You all have some downtime at this point anyway.
Just so you know, what Kalethe wants to know is how long the man can survive this game. So if he does talk, you can feel free to just do whatever describing you want until the man dies (or somebody else stops Kalethe)
Yeah I'm going to interfere a bit. I have two questions. And some more XD, I thinking that depending on the answers Iana can disguise herself as a guard, which could be useful in certain situations.
So I don't end up crowding the gameplay thread with questions, if Itzal makes it up the chimney, things he would be specifically looking for are:
-What direction is the exit?
-Roughly how far are we from the exit?
-What are our options once we get out of the prison?
-Are there any guards outside and do they have signal horns?
-What other defenses can he see that we would have to get past to escape?
...as well as anything else Dog Tooth told him...which I think includes how far up and down the chimney goes.
Is there a wall running along UV 20-23, or is that just open to the stairs?
One more thing I forgot. He would check to see if its day or night.
Regarding the armor, I don't think either me or Dog Tooth can wear it anyway...since it is probably medium sized. GM, let me know if my assumption is wrong about this.
Though, even if we can wear it, Ami wouldn't take it over a melee fighter (look at her strength score and weep)...so no worries on my end. Anything Ami took would be to sell (which is not exactly a priority right now), since I don't think she can use any of it...except the dagger...as a short sword...
I don't want any of the guard's equipment. If there's a dagger going begging I'll take one as a backup though.
I think Ami has the spare dagger in the sack of discarded items right now, but she'll gladly give it up. I still have both my spells and 10 Summons...all of which I would use before the dagger that I'll have -2 (1d4-2) with... haha.
I think I was just having her hold it to hide it from the guards.
I'm perfectly content with having dog tooth run away from combat during the prison break BUT he does have an enlarge person extract that he can use on himself, so he can hold onto the dagger for the time being
Did we find out about that wall?
Feel free to assume I relay any of Itzal's scouting info, unless I specify otherwise. I can go into more detail if you want, but I'm trying to avoid filling up the gameplay thread with me talking to myself.
Alright, sounds like you've got your plan. Go ahead and move your tokens where you'd like them for the ambush, I'll fast-forward tomorrow.
Ami any more exploring for Itzal? Or did he stop at that hallway?
I think I'll stay put with him for now, since it seems like it will be tricky to get past those guards and everyone came up with a pretty good plan for right now.
Thanks. Slowly but surely we will map this prison, haha
