Ah hah, they were in the retraining section. That was exactly the rule I was talking about.
And yeah, I wasn't necessarily expecting it anytime soon - but figured I may as well get a start on this voyage. We have a few days of sailing ahead of us, after all.
Serik speaks shoanti but you may have to trade him a language in return. ;)
Donovan would take that deal, you bet. I imagine he's the kind of guy who would love teaching languages (or just about anything). What's your pleasure - Dwarven, Celestial, or Infernal?
Given his faith's priorities, he may very well end up taking a couple points of Linguistics to learn some new languages down the road, too. So many skills, so little time.
Serik would not mind Celestial I guess, dwarven is too limited and infernal is too chelixian for his taste. xP
Sorry, will post something tonight. Been ridiculously busy, and just logging in for a few minutes during a rather late lunch break. Selena won't have had any luck per se, but that doesn't mean no progress was made. (I use the 'multiple successes to achieve objective' method for some particularly difficult feats of prowess.)

My own week has been pretty busy as well. But yeah, I can understand the method.
Anybody out there?
I'm here
I'm just waiting on the landing post. So still here, just quiet. ; )
Nana, the held action for Donovan is exactly right, but I wanted to be clear on the rounds here. The first round of combat will take place when the goblin boats are within 100 feet of the ship? How many round will we have until they are boarding?
I thought the two rounds of missile fire were when they were closing with us.
The two rounds were until the canoes were close enough for the goblins to attempt boarding, so the goblins will begin attempting to board this round.
Just want to say that yes, there's an awful lot of goblins, but right now there's a bottleneck preventing them from entering combat, and you have aid from the sailors, so this should (based on number crunching) be a well-balanced encounter that's actually extremely in your favor. (Especially since none of them have ranged weapons.)
First two attack rolls a 2 and a 1. A combat juggernaut, Donovan is not. Think I'll consider casting a spell next round.
I should also mention that the goblin Donovan targeted with the command will attract Attacks of Opportunity like normal if it runs. Probably one from Serik at least.
Considering my position in the initiative and my rolls, Donovan may want to pick another goblin. Serik just went into beast mode. I doubt your goblin survived. xP
Well, other than the chief the goblins aren't very specific, so yeah - Nana, just focus my command on a still-living goblin. I'll choose to believe it was the goblin that hit me. :)
Selena: I thought the acid splash was for this round, and you cast mage armor last round? Did I have that wrong?
Donovan: The goblins are very specific. In fact, each and every one of them has a name, personality, back story, and motivations!
Apologies, that's my mistake. For some reason I was confusing them for indeterminate pretty little chunks of XP. ;D
Either way, I'm really hoping I can get one to tackle a buddy back off the ship.
Calling our ranger and wizard to the battlefield, please report to the battlefield. x)
Sorry for my absence the past couple days, been ridiculously swamped with work and just passed out when I got home each day.
No worries. Take care of RL and we'll be here when you're really to resume.
No need to explain, started a new job myself. Spend most of my free time recovering, thankfully typing is not very energy consuming so I can still post. But I doze off soooooooooooooooometimes. :D
Take it easy and let us know when the journey will resume.
Went ahead and got another post up. Is a lot more work writing up that long of a post than simply rolling up an attack and describing what you do... =)
I'm going to be on vacation for about a week. Hopefully I'll have net access and can post like normal. If I go silent, just have Donovan keep clouting any goblin within reach and I'll do any more RP-heavy stuff when I get back.
Serik leaves a platter of coffee and cookies.
Everyone quiet, I'm luring out the DM. ;-)
Halflings are small, sneaky and always hungry. Cookies...mmmmm :)
Halflings are small...
I prefer to think of them as "bite-sized. :)
Hey! ;-)
So, this campaign died just as I left? Aww... I was really looking forward to this one.
Our DM seems to have gone MIA.
I'm still around if he comes back.
I hope he comes back ASAP or we are gonna be SOL.
Come back to us Nana!
Yes, will also be patient. He had a good, detailed game running. I'll still be interested when/if he comes back.
Yeah, definitely had a plan and had done a ton of homework on this. I suspect just swamped with personal life or work.
Hello everybody! In case you actually read this, I wanted to let the players of this campaign (whom I was looking forward to playing with) know that I've started my first GMed campaign on these forums, and cordially invite you to take a look in case its something you'd be interested in joining in on:
It is, It is, a glorious thing...
Our time under Nana seems to have been cut short, but perhaps we can have still have some fun together!
