Someone at my table last week used Shift effectively to get out of several grapples.
October 1st, I believe.
Okay, evidently we're supposed to do the pre-muster missions NOW, so I've sent PMs to the two who haven't checked in, and I'll be posting momentarily IC to get us rolling. Link is at the top of the page, we are in part 1. While I will normally go Rule of 3 (Since 3 is half our party, as soon as 3 people say "let's do this", I'm going with it), for the intro I'm going with "Rule of whoever posted first". These intro missions are only up until the 1st, they don't require massive amounts of RP (but a few lines are nice), and especially in your subtier the rewards can be the difference between a good, fun scenario and a horrible, gruesome death.
Now I am not a killer GM. I have I think 2-3 deaths to my name in over 60 tables, but most deaths are avoidable and I like to put out that efficient use of resources is a concept that is especially important in a special such as this. Now this doesn't mean "don't use your resources" because that can be just as bad as using them all too early. Keep in mind that this has several parts, there will be several combats, and you will need different things at different times.
That having been said, enjoy! I wouldn't have offered to run this slot if there wasn't fun to be had.
Just waiting for (hopefully) everyone to aid. Or make their own checks if their bonus is crazy.
No sweat, Makon. This is the discussion thread so no need for the OOC bubble. Thanks for popping in and let's get some pre-muster missions accomplished!
Top to bottom sounds fine.

It looks like we're doing Chains next. Should we work up a schedule of what people want to do in order so we don't have to re-discuss between each session? If anyone has preferences, let us know.
I don't really care which we do in what order, so I'll open with a bid of just going top-to-bottom after Chains is done.
After this one we're going Cypher. You may discuss what's after that should you choose to.
I will say that the variance in the scenarios is iffy at best. "Do A, then fight" tends to be what happens. You're just voting on what "A" is. I will say Dark Archive currently has the most completions, if it's done by the time we get there, we obviously wont' go there. :P
Aid Token explanation now on last page of Handouts.

BTW Makon has a great intimidate if we find out which group is most subject to intimidate. I will roll intimidate beneath a spoiler; with some accompanying dialogue. If I understand correctly we are all invited to make either sense motive or knowledge checks to identify which group is vulnerable to variable means of negotiation?
If this is correct we should all be making sense motive checks or the appropriate knowledge checks (which-ever we have the higher bonus in I suppose) As for the intimidate check Makon will wait for guidance (either from his own intuition or the groups suggestion) He will then step forward and proceed to loom an intimidate whichever group we believe to be most vulnerable to that form of negotiation.
Also although we can only have one person roll per group. There's no reason we shouldn't attempt an aid-anthers . Therefore, I'll request on this thread that, Caebricalius Melandrus attempt to ,aid my intimidate check (probably beneath a spoiler is best) and that the remainders also aid some of the other rolls (diplomacy and or bluff).
This is also true.

Ok amending my last statement a bit
Caebricalius Melandrus should do the bluff check although Andy Applebottom has a +8 in bluff he also has a +8 in diplomacy making him the best choice for both those rolls. If only one person can make one roll per noble house then Caebricalius Melandrus has the next highest bonus ..therefore he should take the bluff roll with Andy Applebottom aiding him.
The only thing left to do is figure out which family needs which roll.
It looks like Kwan Zinshen has ranks in Knowledge history and again Andy Applebottom has all the knowldge skills at his disposal. therefore Makon will wait to make his intimidate check until bidden to by one of these two gentlemen.

Ack. just noticed the last 3 posts on this thread after i posted on Gameplay thread. Not sure what we can do with this mess. Please advise.
Ok first of all we need to wait until we get the results back from the sense motive checks from the GM...Then we can make an informed checks on which roll is best for which noble family.
My gut instinct is: just to cross out or edit out the last portion (all the diplomacy checks) and just roll for a bluff check and diplomacy check after the GM gives us the sense motive information.
If you read the game-play thread the GM did mention certain checks are better for certain families...for instance Makon did an intimidate check for one of the families. (i just don't know which one because the GM hasn't revealed the results of the sense motive checks yet) Therefore you only need to make 2 checks One bluff and one Diplomacy...all your sense motive checks stand.
Sense motive checks are done. Results were already posted.
Rofl. NINJA'D!
The dragon avatar is my true form. I'm an Expert 1, Sorcerer 4, Dragon Disciple 7.
One check from each of the five categories must be made. Each person may attempt only one check or aid from each category.
We should boost and send it if you're not using it soon. If you want to do so now, I'll send it elsewhere. Or you can add that after this combat, but good call.
To boost allied offensive? That's legit. Adding +2d8 or more to attack damage and granting flank? Yep.
Make the attack roll then, Makon. You can do it here at +6, if you fail we'll have someone else try.
