Who is Timeon?
Timeon is Suryani's brother. They have traveled to Kenabres together.
Ok. Is this another player or a DM character?>

DM Character, travelling with the group for now.
Ok.
Hello everyone!
As we finish our first real encounter, I just wanted to check in with everyone and make sure that you're having a good time. I haven't run a play-by-post game before, so please let me know if this is what you expected or if need to clear up some rulings or whatever's on your mind.
Feel free to look at any "DM Dice" spoilers from this encounter if you are feeling curious about what I was rolling.
I am having fun, I haven't played a paladin since 1st edition. I hope I am not being a jerk.
Faster-paced than other PbP games I've been in, which I see as a good sign. :)
I like the pace!
Yeah, I think we have a good mix of time zones so that if I check at night and in the morning there's always updates.
Fun fact: was I away for a long time? were the exact words I spoke to the nurse after passing out from an injection (a routine vaccination - everything fine) this morning. I don't get into method acting that much.
Loads of fun, and the pace is good.
Nice pace, and good roleplaying. I like the DM style!
Seems to be working well for me! Good work so far!
Great!
In the interest of keeping things moving, please take whatever final actions your character has before finding a place to sleep in the camps. We will start the next section once everyone has gone to bed for the night.
Just keep it "PG-13".
Like this?
Hah, yes. Smart plan. Do tell me how much you plan on sleeping though, if any at all. :)
Like this?
Yep, no problems here.
I am really liking this character and this group!
Another GM question: do you have the Demon Hunter's Handbook? I ask because I'm thinking "I should've taken the cold iron warden archetype" and "I hope the GM lets me switch since it won't affect any abilities at 1st level."

Yes, and yes you can add that archetype.
well, that was unexpected.

This part is the start of the actual AP. I added the intro in the camps so that you guys have a little bit more connection to Kenabres and each other before the big attack.
Does anyone know if there are any paladin archetypes that boost their spell casting?
Interesting way to start then. I liked the camps bit, and this is not what I expected :D
To clarify: In a good way!
Caleb - Sacred Servant sort of does. It gives you a domain I think.
DM Le Roy Batty, can you link to your Obsidian Portal on the campaign info tab? I can never find it easily when I want to refer to the info. Thanks!

Will do!

Oathbound Paladin would give you more options of spells to cast, but it doesn't actually give you more I don't think.

I will post again in gameplay in the morning (doesn't stop anyone from continuing to RP or interact with the environment). My IRL group just finished the first book of Rise of the Runelords and I'm pretty beat from that last battle. My Urban Barb/Martial Artist ended up taking at least 90 damage during the fight - but with enough heals and potions we finally beat the last enemy. :)
Cool, I'm running that AP as well, we're nearing the end of book 3. The final BBEG in book 1 nearly TPK'd the party, since they were running with one person less (the barbarian who had died in the previous session).
I have never played Rise of the Rune Lords.
I was looking at Sacred Servant, minda meh. Does Hospitalier stack with oath against fiends?
Does Hospitalier stack with oath against fiends?
Yes.
"Everyone may act except for Survani and Sioned, who will go after the maggots."
I'm confused. Isn't going after the maggots an action?
He means take their turn after the maggots have taken their turn :)
My initiative modifier is 0 by the way, not +3.
"Everyone may act except for Survani and Sioned, who will go after the maggots."
I'm confused. Isn't going after the maggots an action?
Yeah, I guess that's a little confusing. Everyone may react now except for Survani and Sioned, who will react after the maggots.
Just as a half-tip half-request:
In my PbP posts I picked up a system that another GM used: describe combat as usual, but at the end give a summary of initiative order, highlight whose turn it is, and note actions taken. Currently, that would look like:
---
Kloss - Fires arrow (delay until after Caliben)
Caliben
Timeon
Caleb
---
Maggot 1
Maggot 2
Maggot 3
---
Suryani
Sioned
---
Really helps me keep organised
Here's hoping maggots have low AC, or this elf could be short on time!
Also DM, if you want the combat text formatted differently than I did (or with more details) please let me know. Different folks want different things.

Nice, I like that.

You can do your damage rolls right after attacks, unless you're positive it won't hit because of a really low roll. I will update with a AC range as people connect and miss, to move things along quickly (my groups are always keeping track of that stuff in their heads anyway).
Oops, copied the initiative roll block from the first fight, Timeon is not actually with us.
Heh, we should really drop this habit of going down in the second round...
Seriously!
Does Hospitalier stack with oath against fiends?Yes.
I am wondering if it might not be a good idea to add it?
Are there any mythic abilities that boost the paladin's lay on hands?

You can still add it if you want to.
http://www.d20pfsrd.com/mythic/mythic-heroes/marshal Marshal path has a few options.

That was a fluke if I ever saw one. Two 20's in a row. If it were real dice I would have kept rolling to see how many I could get in a row.
Suryani-
You can also use a Heal check on someone every time they are injured, but only once per day or until they are injured again. It would be a good way to save your spells.
One time we were doing a Star Wars campaign, my first as a player, and I was playing a spoiled noble. I rolled 5 20s in a roll for a spot check for lightsaber!

Haha, last night I rolled natural 20's for initiative 3 different times. I was so angry.
