I think the facts in Rose's post are right- the basics of what's going on at the prison. Her opinons, and what the group should so, may not be right.
You could kill everyone. That's certainly an option, and it could be a sucessful one. Or you could try to use stealth to get out of here, and do something like jump off the bridge and try to swim to safety. This is also an option. Or you can try to dig around for more information before escaping.
If you wanted to look for more information, my suggestion would be to look in the wizard's tower. There may be something of use there.
I really don't want the game to die either, guys! I just wasn't sure if I should respond to your plans in such a way, because I didn't want to give you knowledge you haven't already been given. But if it's more helpful for the group for me to do that, then I will.
I think we're kind of flummoxed on how to proceed - it looks like from the map we have that the only way into the wizard's tower is via the walls, which means we still have to get into the guardhouse, as the tower is separate from the keep. or am I misreading the map - I thought we had searched the entirety of the keep already - leaving only the guardhouse and the tower left to search.
Ah, sorry! No, there's a door from the courtyard.
Ah... well maybe we should go there? Personally I was kinda hoping to just deal with the guardhouse next, but if everyone else is hot to go to the wizard's tower next, we can certainly do that... either way, we have to get across one part of the courtyard or another, which is gonna require stealth, yes?
I'll probably end up following the group wherever they decide to go.
I think the main issue is that we aren't exactly sure of our options.
Are there people besides Travis still here?
I am. I think the action's mainly on Travis right now though. I posted what I was doing. I'm just hoping to somehow avoid being spotted.
Go ahead and finish up Travis' scouting. Don't worry about me, I'm not going anywhere. :)
Also still here. Just waiting on Travis's action to get resolved, really.
How many of us are left?
I think just you me and Sho...
Sounds like we'll need to recruit when we get out of here. We'll need someone who can heal, at the least.
That would be handy - Travis is still down to 2 hp lol
Does seem like the others have all bailed, doesn't it? Who knows, maybe they're just busy.
Sounds like we'll need to recruit when we get out of here. We'll need someone who can heal, at the least.
Bah, we can handle it! I'll get UMD, we'll grab a couple wands, some scrolls, and a whole lot of resting up, we've got this!
Ahem.
Yeah, okay, either some recruitment or some scaling down of the adventure is probably a good idea. I'm sort of for keeping the game smallish - it moves things along in a PbP a good bit faster, in my experience. But four players usually isn't too bad.
To make recruitment easier, though, we don't necessarily need a dedicated healer. I will actually grab full ranks in UMD first chance I get, and thus we just need to keep me stocked in CLW wands for in-between fight healing. Another off-healer, a druid or inquisitor or alchemist or whatever, should serve us just fine.
Sholano's gonna go for the obvious play, here, one that if I recall correctly we even did before, dressing up as a guard and luring at least a few out to be murdered.
My bad not posting the last day or so, thought I was waiting for someone and then clearly I wasn't. Not sure what happened there. Anyway, moving on.
Speaking of which, it's my understanding you can use Handle Animal untrained when trying to handle domestic animals. If I'm wrong, then obviously my latest action isn't gonna work very well.
Interested in a smashy Barbarian? Willing to be the Hammer/Hatchetman of a charismatic type.
Sounds like Cosimy's call, first on whether we're recruiting at all and then which poor sap we're dragging along.
I certainly wouldn't mind having another character around. We're almost out of the prison now though, so unless you want to take over one of the other characters you'd probably have to wait a bit before we introduce you.
Cosimy's call, of course.
Adding one more sounds good to me too!
Sorry for not having posted sooner: I had unexpected guests who I had to entertain, and there was no time for myself to get on the computer.
I think an additional member of the group would be nice! I would definitly have to introduce you when we got to the meeting place, but that will be soon enough. I'll send you a PM in the next day or so involving details of getting you in.
Would you guys still want a healer? If so, I can also try and find one of them. If not, someone can just get a wand of Infernal Healing or CLW or something and hope for the best .
Whatever you decide works best for the group we have now would be fine... Just please, no more alchemists, lol ;)
I think a wand would be fine. Rose has an impressive UMD, so non-combat healing will work fine.
In combat, well, whatever. We're the bad guys. We shouldn't be wasting time trying to heal each other anyway. We can make due with potions.
Putting aside all the viability of in combat healing. :) While an Asmodain cleric might be willing to heal allies, being turned into a healbot would be offensive no doubt. ;)
I don't know, an Asmodian would probably be willing, so long as there was a contract written out detailing compensation for each curative spell cast during each coming mission.
sorry can't format text from my phone and wont be home til late tonight - Cosmiy - feel free to bot Travis and make some untrained rolls for me if that will move things along.
Out of a hope to maintain continuity - do you have a plan to roleplay away our companion's disappearance? Should we still behave as if they're around?
I don't know, but I am pretty sure that they are dead. Perhaps they died in the escape attempt, or were eaten by some beasts while on the moors. And if they hadn't died then, they would have died or been sent to the salt mines to die when the prison guards found them. Only you guys and Grumblejack are here.
I guess we'll just gloss over that then.
Dot
Oookay, fair enough.
Agh! Sorry about not posting the last few days - I've headed out for vacation with most of my extended family, and the internet has been weird. I'm assured that the internet is going to be more solid for the rest of the time, but obviously, I'm still going to be distracted by being here, so my posting will be spotty at best.
HP roll
+3 CON +1 Favored=9
Should we roll hp, take 1/2, 1/2+1 ?
well, on the off-chance we're rolling - here's mine = just let me know whether to use this or take half, either way works for me...
[dice]1d10[dice]
OH wow, I completely forgot to answer this. Ah, we're rolling for it. In other news, I will be going to a cabin for a day, but will be back the day after tomorrow.
Back in action!
...gross. Boy, I hope we've got some retraining rules or something in place, or I'm gonna be one squishy little rogue.
Is Lady Rose still praying?
Sorry, I am still here. I hurt myself a few days ago, and yesterday I had a really bad reaction to the pain killers I was given. I'm only now starting to feel coherent again.
I'm going to try to catch up and get a post in. If I have a lower posting rate than usual for the next few days, please don't hold up the game for me.
Hope you feel better soon.
I'm going to write Rose out of the next couple scenes, both to give me enough time to recover, and to let the characters who aren't familiar with what is going on do the discovery stuff.
Please don't wait on me. I'll jump back in soon.
Will we be able to speak with the other group that is in the manor?
...I really wish there was some sort of feature that would allow me to know when my posts don't show up. Though it probably wouldn't work, it would be useful. Sorry, I'm making the post again.
Poke. I'll just ding peopel to know cosmiy is back.
I'll be back tomorrow night at the earliest - will be on the road all day tomorrow and out weds day, but tues and weds night I should be able to post - if the paizo site stays up, that is... been flaky on me this afternoon.
Seem to have lost my dots
Seems we have lost Rose and our DM, so I will be bowing out here.
O...kay...
I guess that puts us down a member again, if we want to get back up to four. In the meantime, I suppose I need to come up with Sholano's requested goods, don't I?
I'm still here. Sorry had a life hiccup. I did mention it earlier. Sorry if I wasn't clear on that.
