Get better GM!
Really sorry to hear that, I hope you're feeling better soon!
I visited the concussion doctor yesterday and found out that this head injury thing takes longer to recover that I was hoping. I'm not allowed to return to work this week yet, but I'm slowly trying to do more. I'm having vision and concentration problems, so reading is hard. I'll try to start getting posts in, but my level of posting will probably be lower for awhile yet.
Thanks for being patient!
Hi guys. I'm making progress, but it's slower than I'd like. I still haven't returned to work fulltime and I'm slowly trying to add normal things back into my routine. I'm going to try and start checking in daily to get posts in again, but please understand if I miss a day!
Take your time, there's no rush for me at all. I'm very glad you're making progress!
Sabrine, our sixth, hasn't posted in about six weeks and it would appear that she has disappeared along with the other 3 original members of the party which leaves Yngvilda and Eldon as the soul survivors from the starting six. This has me questioning my decision to recruit instead of restart. I hate losing continuity.
I did start a group for new players, I guess this is what I get for doing so, hmm?
Ok, so, decision time!
We can continue on as we have started, you three being supplements to the original troupe dispatched by the Baroness. The team chemistry is obviously all gone. You miss out on the lore and first level of delving the tower ruins, but otherwise we stay the course.
Alternatively, I can take you four and we can start something fresh together for you from the beginning. You can use the same characters if you like or remake them to fit the theme.
Thoughts from everyone please?
Oof. That's rough. I would defer to the "survivors" first, since they have the most to lose/gain from the decision.
I agree with Tykent. I would be happy to continue, or if the group dynamic feels off and starting fresh is better that is fine by me as well! I quite enjoy this character and want to see how he interacts with the story but also with the group.
It is indeed a shame. Sometimes new players work out though, this was my first game and now I'm in a several and having a great time. I'd go so far as to say it's my favourite way to play pathfinder, so thank you again for introducing me to it.
For this game my preference would be to continue. I'm sure we'll pick up team chemistry quick enough, and we haven't seen a dragon yet! I had a plan for Yngvilda involving bravery feats that I've mostly forgotten but would love to get a chance to implement.
That said if the majority were interested in starting something else I'd be up for that too.
I'll defer to Yngvilda and Eldon. I'm curious to see where Cwm is going.
Plus, as Yngvilda pointed out, we haven't seen any dragons yet ...
I am happy to keep going but Yngvilda and I are teh only ones who are left who did the first level so I would completely understand if our new recruits would prefer to start from scratch.
Alright! Seems like everyone wants to continue as is, so onward we go!
I'm headed to the beach until 7/15. I'll check in occasionally, but posting will be slower for the next week and a half.
Hey guys -
This next week and a half is going to be VERY busy for me. My boss just accepted another job and so I'm going to have to start acting for him during the transition while I prepare to apply for that job. In addition, I am starting preparations for my annual bocce tournament that I host next Saturday which takes ALL of my time (I literally take the whole week off to prepare).
I hoping as we move through the end of the summer things will get a little more consistent for me. I've had a rough summer, I apologize for the slower response and I appreciate all of your patience!
No problem! Good luck with the tournament
Heads up - I will be at a convention Friday through Sunday. As the sun doesn’t set up here in the summer, neither do the games stop. I will post when possible, but at a slower rate than usual. Please don’t hesitate to bot me after 24 hours if I haven’t posted.
Good luck GM (not too much!). Have fun Tykent.
Remember Cwm you can't normally move and full-attack without some sort of special ability like pounce or pummeling charge
Doh! Too many characters. Thanks :)
Why are you always trying to cheat Cwm?!!! :) I'm glad my players pay more attention than I do. Brownie points for you Yngvilda, you can live this fight.
At least my repeated second attack always sucks.
I only notice because I would frequently love to be able to do it myself!
I should say you can five-foot step and full attack, you can even put a five foot step in between your attacks which is sometimes handy
OH! I almost forgot ...
Welcome to level three! Please level up and pass along pertinent infos here for me to catch up on.
Woot.
Sorry guys bit crazy this week at work so I'll be mostly absent, Mak isn't great with the talking anyway but he'll go along with the group especially to redeem himself after that web fiasco! I'll level up when I can and post the changes asap.

It happens! We'll need Mak and Cwm's traps skills coming up it looks like. I'm just glad to get armour training and a 30 foot move speed finally :)
I've done Eldon's level up. Notable changes are:
Lightning Resistance 10
New Spell: Magic Missile
New Feat: Precise Shot
Eldon would also like the wand and scrolls from the chief if that is alright with everyone? Also go level 1 scrolls be purchased where we are?
GM, are you doing chronicle sheets for this module?
I certainly can if there is enough interest. I just checked and the first of the three sheets is for clearing the Blood Vow Lair which we just finished, so I can do them now.
Anyone interested in a chronicle sheet, please throw me your PFS info you'd like it credited to and I'll work 'em up.
I've been having issues accessing my HeroLab VM so haven't finished updating Cwm yet. Hope to do that tonight. Sorry I'm holding everyone up.
I'd definitely be interested in a chronicle. I'll post up details tomorrow.

Oh that would be great thank you! I'll PM you my details
Sorry for the delay, Mak's level up wasn't too exciting except his new feat is Rapid Shot so that should help bump up his damage potential. Other than that, 7 more HP, Endurance from class as well as Favored Terrain: Forest. Sheet is updated to show all this.
My daggers now do actual damage (Weapon Finesse and an extra Sneak Attack die) and picking up Manipulative Agility to use my SoH (+11) instead of Bluff (+1) to feint :)
I may have some shopping to do tomorrow, but I'm good to go.
You can use your agility to manipulate people as well as small objects.
Prerequisite(s): Bluff 1 rank, Sleight of Hand 1 rank.
Benefit(s): You can use Sleight of Hand in place of Bluff for checks to feint in combat, as well as for checks to pass secret messages without being noticed (by using gestures and body language). In both cases, the effects become visual and don’t work if the target or recipient is blind or cannot see you. In the case of secret messages, the limitations of hand gestures and body language might impact what sorts of messages you can pass, at the GM’s discretion.
Here are the details for the chronicle sheet.
Chronicle details:
Chronicle #: 3
Player: Lee
Character: Eldrin Inarie
PFS ID: 262096-5
Faction: Grand Lodge
Start XP: 4
Start Fame: 6
Start PP: 4
Start Gold: 1,450
No gold or PP spent.
I think that's everything.
I'm flying to San Diego for the next few days and will be mostly out of pocket. I'll be back Monday evening, but I may not get a post in until Tuesday.
Good morning!
In all of my other games that I run I use Roll20 for maps. Does anyone have a problem with me doing so here? It eases my burden by allowing me to preload and configure the maps so I can update maps quickly.
My only concern is that Roll20 is difficult to use while on mobile. That being said, we’re not in such a rush that I can’t just wait to post until I get home.
Another PbP game I’m in uses Roll20, and the GM has a way to show the explores map in greyscale with only a character’s line-of-sight in color and with enemy tokens. I can ask how they’re doing that if we want to implement a similar setup here (which helps a lot when a player might not have seen everything en route).
It's done through a combination of fog of war and dynamic lighting affects, some of the big perks to Roll20.
So far the game hasn't been moving fast enough that I think that not getting to the map until later is a problem. You can just dictate where you'd like to move to if need be and I can adjust it as well if you dont' get to it first.
Never used Roll20 before, is it just a link we follow for the map or a program I need to download? Either way sounds fine to me.
It's a link you hit. Super easy for maps but can also be used for everything else. You can load characters in to click a button for your rolls. Dynamic lighting is pretty sweet. Etc.
Roll20 is good, I use it a lot for online PFS etc. More than happy to use it for this too.
Alrighty! I get Hunclay's Manor loaded up in Roll20 this weekend and we'll switch over to that moving forward.
Ok - Here's the link, please hop in so I can assign your character to you.
When you join, go into the settings (gear in top right) and change your display name in the game to match your character. This will help me assign permissions to your token.
Mkay I believe I am on there now.
I should be there too - let me know if the name change isn't showing up on your end.
Also, any word on those Chronicle sheets? Let us know if we can help with anything!
There are two words on those chronicle sheets, "I forgot".
Oops.
I'll try to get to it today.
Ok folks here it is! I reported the four of you that expressed interest.
Having not used Roll20 before, there is a high chance that I am just an idiot, but when I go to the Roll20 campaign page, there is no map or anything. Anyone help a noob out?
Go here - https://app.roll20.net/campaigns/details/5272879/dragons-demand and then Launch Game. You should see a map that's mostly black but shows your visibility.
