Gurk will end up going wherever the longshanks decide. :D
But I think a single party might be best for now until we can establish ourselves here a bit.
+1 on what Davor says about the loot. Obviously, there'll be times where it makes the most sense for one player to get more than others but it's probably easiest to just add everything to the loot sheet and try to keep it even that way. It'll probably leave it easier to track everything that way as well.
I added the few bits from the box to the sheet. Not sure on the values of items so if GM Dax or someone else (who knows the values of the items) wants to populate the value box that'd be great! Does everyone know how the sheet works? I can explain if you don't!
It might be useful to add a party fund column as well, for general party expenses like bribes, potions etc if people want to?
Agreed on loot. I don't think it needs to be to the coin, but I've been in games where it can get unbalanced and it ends up being more trouble in the game (as opposed to hard feelings among players).
In the Gameplay Thread, GM Dak/Sheila Heidmarch/Verris pointed out/]
"When Natalya initially approached me with the offer of serving the Pathfinders as an informant, she engaged the aid of a man known as the Amazing Zograthy, a Varisian who keeps a permanent tent and fortune-telling business in Washers’ Row in Dockway, specifically, at the end of a narrow alley that serves as a permanent street fair..."
I totally missed that. My apologies. I still think we're being a bit too chatty about working for someone important, but we'll see. Also, as a player, I can't help but think that the Amazing Zograthy would gladly sell what was discussed with us to the Sczarni in a heartbeat if it meant more coin in his pockets.
We'll see if Amelexis apologizes at some point in-game: She's not used to being wrong, though. ;)

Just wanted to say I love this group's dynamics: Six individuals, half seeming to zig while the other half zags. It'll be interesting to see them come together as a group or (perhaps literally) die trying.
Also nice to see Verris hit a skill check DC with a natural 1...thanks to some good teamwork from Davor.

Hi GM Dak! I was hoping for enough of an obstruction to get the total/improved cover stealth bonus of +10, but I'm ok if that was impossible due people walking in the streets, etc.
Sorry if I wasn't clear in my post. My idea was like an abandoned cart piled with garbage which would somewhat make it impossible to see a party lying behind it - akin to a large boulder in an open plain with a dozen bandits behind it, but smaller, and more urban :)
The better question is, who would Gurk consider an enemy?
I believe it is the door Gurk is placed closest by and that Verris is heading toward.
Yeah, the rear door. I misremembered Dak's description and thought that there was only a small opening back there that folks might have a hard time squeezing through. In hindsight (and after re-reading), I'm pretty sure I was wrong about that.
Still, it might not be a bad thing to come at the intruder in two waves from different directions; he's less likely to escape.
@GM Dak: I need to know if the back door is open enough that Lexi can slip through without spending a move action to open it. If she has to take a move action to open both doors between her and the fight, it'll take her 3 rounds to reach the mage where he's currently positioned; she won't be able to actually contribute to the fight until the following round.
You can slip through as part of a move action, though it is difficult terrain (ie just counts as 10ft instead of 5. You don't need a separate move action to open it.
Well, we're down two now. This isn't a very pretty first fight.

Make that 3. If the guy saves against Bixby's spell, things could get dicey.
Maybe it's a good thing Lexi took the long way around to reach the fight: Hopefully, the bad guy will be out of spells by the time she gets there. ;)
Just a quick note I am posting to all my games. It is Spring Break week so I get the week off. As such, I won't be around the PC as often as I am usually. Posting may be slowed a bit, but will do my best to get in at least one post a day.
Oh true. Good call.

Someone in one of my other games brought this to my attention and it is a huge help, so I thought I would spread the word to any interested.
For those of you utilizing Chrome on a PC to check the boards and keep up with your games there is an extension to Chrome that adds a lot of great functionality. Some of the key things I like are better organization of your campaign page, highlighting of new posts, setting different pictures for people's avatars, and most importantly setting an alias per each campaign to avoid the constant issue of posting under the wrong alias.
This is the extension Paizo Campaign Tools. Hope it helps someone else like it has for me!

I've used it for a while too. It really is very useful for PbP. Makes it much easier to post and keep track of your games!
This is how I see Verris btw.
Here's Gurk. Though Davor's seems to be unseeable unless you have an account over there.
Note: did we identify this ring yet? who took the MW silver dagger?
Lexi tried Spellcraft on the ring and failed; she'll try again in the morning. She also tried to figure out who's carrying the mwk silver dagger with all her talk about wererats. (See--there's a method to her madness!)
And sorry/not sorry about the reward snatch and split. Lexi wanted to pay off her debts ASAP.
We might ask the guard if she knows anything about our missing person so we don't have to backtrack tomorrow.

Fixed the loot table so that it now shows the total value of what we received.
Just to get started I assigned:
adistan: silver dagger
100 gp garnet to each of: amelexis, bixby, verris
ring of feather falling: gurk
(however final assignment will vary if the people listed above don't want those items; in that case just go to the sheet and delete the number '1' listed under your name for that item. The sheet will rebalance itself and someone else will now be able to claim that item)
The sheet now keeps a running total of party balance. The 'GP owing' at the bottom is a general guide as to which PC should have dibs on a given item should multiple people put a claim on it, within common sense of course (staff of healing won't go to wizard or front-liner, but for stuff that everybody wants like cloaks of protection, this little guide sort of give us all an idea of 'who's turn is it' to pick the nice things)
Please keep in mind that the sheet will not keep track of loans between characters. Those should be kept out of the party total loot dynamic and should be kept between players not to confuse things.
Seems fair. Nice work Davor!
When did we find out what the ring was?
Gurk would hold onto the ring as it is shiny, but might trade it for food if he runs out of coin (unlikely). :D
Well, we've definitely ID'd it now ;)
Hmm...he spells bad even when he's talking.
LOL!
Oh. This can't possibly turn out bad! :D
I'm off to NYC, so I probably won't be posting again until Sunday.
Will you also reroll his new character soon as well?
In other news, Bixby might not have been crazy after all.
Oh goodness...
Sorry all for the detour into "Gurk meets the Queen", normally these goblins would just be fighting, but actually having another goblin in the group... too much RP gold.
So I usually post this at the start of my games, but I had forgot for this one. I have a Discord channel just as a secondary point of contact. I created it after the forum fail of last year where they were down forever so communication could still flow if that happens again.
It is totally optional but here is the link if you are interested. When you join just say your character name and game you are in so I can set permissions appropriately.
Does the queen let Gurk head on out?
Yes
Hehe no matter what this whole thing is going to be interesting...
Okay, I managed to resist reading the spoilers this long but now the temptation is too much...
edit:... aaand I'm back and dying! xD
Quick Note: I'll likely be offline for longer than usual this weekend, from Friday afternoon through midday on Tuesday, thanks to a state holiday (Patriots' Day) on Monday.
A reminder that Lexi's profile/character sheet includes macros for easy copying-and-pasting while botting. Also, she's already rolled a 17 on a Knowledge (local) check on goblins (see the Lexicon of Lexi spoiler at the bottom of her character sheet), so she'll be able to use her naturalist bardic performance to get the party some bonuses, if indeed there's a village of goblins inside the place.
Bixby looks back over his shoulder as things turn South with his ploy. In alarm, he sees that no one is coming, despite his giving of the signal.
You can't seriously expect a scatterbrain like Lexi to remember something from...like 10 posts ago! Sheesh!
