solidly on the dark side :( my favorite number is 2 you know right?
Man, you guys are bloodthirsty! Haha. Thurl is shocked and alarmed, but I’m ok.
He's both the voice of reason, and the voice of increasing our bloodlust (from his Inspire Courage). A double-edged sword indeed.

Probably not the most paladin-like thing to do, shoot first ask questions later. But, they messed with Shadow!
I must be a psychic, because D&D just announced this as their next adventure.
book keeping question. For Achievements, does it count if Arbaro Rolls a critical failure but then uses his perfect strike to reroll it?

Even the image fits - some kind of mer creature attacking a boat with an archer and halfling.

I would vote no because we are tracking game achievements. So, he did do better than a critical failure overall in that turn. Achievements are not die roll tracking, but results tracking. At least, that's what I think. Others can, of course, disagree.
The "mer creature" in the picture is a sahuagin.
There is NOT a giant octopus creature about to attack your ship, however.
*yet
where is this picture you speak of?

I think they forgot to give the Halfling a real weapon. :)
Lem and Brag should stop rolling d6. We are terrible. Nearly 2 out of every 3 rolls is below average. Lots of 1s and 2s.
By the way, I had not been putting in the sell price of consumables. I Didn't think that it was fair to compare those directly with items that provide continuous utility when evaluating wealth. If you disagree, then I can include that information.
Well, looks like Arbaro is the only one that would benefit from cloak of resistance, so he should grab one.
So, seeing as I apparently don't know how to create side quests that aren't directly tied to the main quest, I've altered the Quest Log in the Campaign Tracker. I've typed up clues and leads that pertain to the main questline to help you guys keep the pieces organized.
I added another column and took the liberty of filling it in.
Also, we real dumb.
You're not dumb, it's just been weeks since you got this information, whereas for your PCs it's been... well okay, months, but they don't have real life to worry about. This *is* their real life.
What did we miss?
I meant, why are we dumb? did we forget something ?
I just took as a general ignorance/forgetfulness, not anything specific. As in, more aware people wouldn't need a sheet to remind them of all the little clues/pieces of the puzzle.
Yeah, that!

Ah. Yeah, actually, I’m thinking that I might make Thurl record a diary of sorts so that he can keep track of everything that happens.

Go for it! We have the PbP documenting everything, obviously, but that's a bit too much information to sort through all at once. Plus I love reading session reports.

What’s with Brag’s chest? Did I miss something?

DIE ROLL STATUS UPDATE
March 4, 2019 - 418 Rolls
We can all see the dice rolls tab so I won't go into a lot of detail, just some observations:
1. Roccavisk leads the pack but has only rolled 8 times. Small sample size.
2. Of the six rollers, four are doing well with more above average rolls than below average rolls.
3. The total below average rolls for all rollers is 51.2%, very close to the expected 50% and certainly tolerable. . .
4. Unless you're Lem, who has an appalling bad 62.7% below average rolls. Way worse than the 55%-60% that Alset had during Second Wave.
5. The GM is rolling a little worse than average, which is often good for the party, but not always...
6. Lem and Brag are still terrible at d6 rolls, 65.8% and 63.6% respectively.
Happy Rolling!
One might notice that Thurl only has one d8 roll. This means that Thurl has only attacked once in combat and one might also notice that Thurl has one single kill. I think this indicates that Thurl is the most effective fighter of the group, haha.
FYI, work is busy this week so my posting may be spotty. I'll try to get something out in the evening if nothing else.
Extrapolating from Arbaro's post, I'd say most all spells are known by their names. They're consistent enough across the world, and across spellcasters, that saying "He cast magic missile at me!" is a legitimate thing people would know about. Something like Power Attack, though, I'd say is more along the lines of "he swings wildly, but when he hits, it hurts." A monk's Style usage would be named, but I feel like inspire courage wouldn't. Smite evil I have no idea, I could go either way.
Smite evil seems descriptive enough the right kind of paladin would just say he smote evil?
I took a slightly different tack when I was thinking about it. I was thinking that the more organized classes, like anything associated with a church and wizards would have an established nomenclature while the spontaneous casters would be more scattered in their naming of spells. maybe fighters and monks would have names for everything while barbarians would be less likely to have any names at all for their "moves". Just what I came up with thinking about it last night.
Smite evil seems descriptive enough the right kind of paladin would just say he smote evil?
I try to invoke Iomedae (diety of Brag) when smiting evil. Usually it is something like this, "I call on you Iomedae to smite this evil spawn of the <location, people group, etc.> through my <weapon>."
This seems appropriate and follows the religious/organized classes thoughts that Thurl mentions above.
I love Lem, he so protective and angry
By the way, Bragoleb is dominating our Achievements tab. I'm just waiting for Lem to get a good critical though for that to change.

With Lem's unusually bad random rolls, Thurl's lack of engagement in combat, Roccavisk's penchants for casting helpful spells (mud slinging rather than damage inflicting spells), it has provided more opportunity for Brag. And he's enjoying it! But, I'm ready for A & L to bring on more heat.
Man, I'm really not feeling well, not sure how consistent I'll be about posting for the next couple days.
I’m looking forward to bringing on the heat aswelll, it’s been lukewarm mostly
You know, even with your below average rolling, you’ve still felt some good damage. And when we face something with DR, you will shine.
Status Update at 505 rolls:
Our average for all rolls is rocking at 50.5% below average and 49.5% above average.
Only Lem is way out of sync with 60.8% below average. But this is down from 62.7% at the 400 roll check.
Data
Roller - Count - Below AVG - Below AVG %
R ---- 9 -- 3 -- 33.3%
T --- 48 - 22 - 45.8%
B - 128 - 61 - 47.7%
A --- 81 - 40 - 49.4%
G - 160 - 81 - 50.6%
L --- 79 - 48 - 60.8%
# - 505 - 255 - 50.5%
I think 79 is our new highest damage.
Also you should put the rolls into a graph, if you have the time and energy and desire and technical know-how and all that.
oh, could you graph the changing average over time (excited voice)? That would probably be a lot of work, also probably not as exciting as I first thought.
I decided to post this here so I didn't clutter up the Gameplay board.
The shocking is not multiplied (+6).
So does that mean that the Shock die would be rolled as normal or would it automatically be maxed on a critical?
x3? i picked a better weapon than i thought.

We have a tool at work that can handle the "changing average over time" graph. It is called Tableau, but I'm not up on how to do it.
Over time would be hard since time was not tracked but over posts might be more simple
Pathfinder 2nd Edition just came out.
Anyone else notice that Lem's roll calculation changed from 61 below average to 57 below average with practically one attack?
