Sure, that makes sense.
Question-does anyone have an actual Heal skill? Or a Stabilize cantrip?

Oh wow, I thought the research part won't be something that people would be interested in. This is just a way for you guys to get more information, and we can resolve this rather quickly. I just wanted to give the non-research savy players a chance to do something else in those 8 hours time.

Honestly, I don't plan on stalling this game, as most of what's to come is interesting and exciting. The biggest question is whether or not people want to skip through some of the sandbox exploration. The adventure throws three subplots at the players which they can explore if they want to in greater depth.
1. Bramblemouth Goblins.
2. Spoiler.
3. Spoiler.

Having said that, I won't penalise you for skipping the sandbox in terms of exp and rewards. As I said during game recruitment, I will be changing up certain encounters along the way regardless for 6 players.

It is completely up to you guys in what direction you wish to take this next part. That is why i am giving you that option.

Remember, with research you can only do one knowledge check at a time.

Well, it’s more that Maddie IC would be super excited to read- I’ve never used the research rules so I don’t know how they are.

I have copied the research rules in the gameplay thread (just so it is all in once place). It's not that complicated, you just make a single knowledge check and see what you get. Up to 2 people can assist, and you deal "damage" to the archive depending on your outcome. That reduces the number of KP's the archive has, giving you additional information.

All in 8 hour intervals. So one check per 8 hours. It's unlikely that you will get all of the information from one sitting.

Remy is fine with doing some research here. She can use Knowledge (history) to assist with a +5 bonus, unless others have a higher bonus to use.

I'll definitely be interested in research. I'll post more tomorrow afternoon.

Need to start thinking about some sort of loot sheet for the table. Not really sure the best way of doing one for pbp. If anyone has any suggestions let me know!

Fergus can either aid another for the research or help ensure that the researchers remain uninterrupted for the 8 hours. He will go as needed.

Alustria's mindset and attitude toward things are making me reconsider something. Would I be able to change her Nature Bond to Herbalism, or would I need to retrain to do that?

So, if I’m honest I don’t mind you making small changes to your characters while we are still in the very early stages. I understand everyone is still getting to know each other’s characters.

So go for it.

We could each take 600gp of the 5000 which will leave 200 gp we can throw back into party treasure?

There's only 6 of us. Wouldn't each of us taking 600 gp have 1,400 left over? If we each take 800, then there would be 200 left.


Male Dwarf Paladin 13 (HP 147/171 AC:22 T:11 F:21 Saves F:+16 R:+9 W:+14 CMB:+17 CMD:28 Init:+1 Perc: +15 Heal: +18)

Yep! I was thinking 6 players and hit the 6 instead of the 8. 5000-(6*800=4800)=200gp.

I believe you have found 16 + 236 + 5000gp total so far. It will be easier to keep track of this when I get a treasury together.

So 800? Masterwork Scimitar, the one that I commissioned at the beginning of the game. Some glass vials for my Druidic Alchemy.

I guess I'll get a Wand of Mage Armor- I'll be using it for most of the campaign, between myself and Remy, so I may as well get one now for 750 gp.

I have two job interviews tomorrow, so I am going to sleep early. I have prepared the next map and we are ready to go. Full post tomorrow. I would preferer if people have a list of purchases they wish to make before then. It sounds like most of you have a very good idea of what you want to buy.


Male Human Ranger (Skirmisher/Divine Tracker/Infiltrator) 4/Cleric 2/Vindicator 7 (HP: 117/117 | AC: 26[33] TC 13 FF 23[30] | Init: +3 | Percept: +19(+22) Motive: +6| 30' speed, fly 60' | CMB: +17 | CMD: 30, FF: 27 | Fort: +15; Ref: +11; Will:+13)

I'm thinking it'll be upgrading the longsword and chain shirt to Masterwork, and then to replace the spiked shield with a masterwork (weapon) Klar. (Don't think I can quite afford masterwork/masterwork on the Klar, even reselling the stuff I've been using).

I think we might consider loading up on supplies, too, unless we want to travel slowly enough that we can hunt in the woods.


Skills:
Bluff +13, Diplomacy +23, Disable Device +20, Perc. +23, Perform (Oratory) +21 (Sing) +17, Profession (librarian) +19, Sense Motive +1, Spellcraft +22, Stealth +10, Use Magic Device +20
Knowledge Skills:
All +17
Bard (13) HP 81/81 | AC 17 TC 12 FF 16 | Init +7 | Percep +23, Motive +1 | 20ft Speed | +8 CMB | CMD 19, FF 17 | Fort +7, Ref +10, Will +10 (+11 v illusion); (+4 v magic traps, lang. dep., writing)| 1: 5/7, 2: 4/6, 3: 4/5, 4: 4/4, 5: 0/1; Perf: 35/38

I'll get a masterwork shortbow (my bargain hunting item), a cold iron morningstar, and a silver light mace. (145,16,25) I'll also get a scroll of comprehend languages (25)

I also think traveling supplies like rations are a great idea. Do we want to chip in on a wand of cure light wounds, or get a partially charged one? Do we want to get a donkey or something?

Decided to keep my domain the way it is. Sometimes decisions need a few days to settle in your head :)

I thought we had a partially-charged wand? If not, yes, please.

Ok, 800 gp:

- Masterwork Chain Shirt (250gp) [-50gp, reselling current shirt]
- Masterwork Cold Iron Longsword (330gp) [-8gp, reselling current shirt]
- Masterwork Thieves' Tools (100gp) [-15gp, reselling current tools]
- 10 Durable Arrows (10gp)
- Alchemical Acid (x2): 20 gp
- Alchemist's Fire (x2): 40 gp
- Holy Water (x3): 75 gp
- Wandermeal (x10): 1sp

That's (net): 752.1gp, leaving 47.9gp.

Back from my trip! Remy doesn't have anything she needs to buy right now, so she'll hang on to her money.

Haha,not derailing at all. Well...maybe a little!

This will all make sense at the end of the first book. This is just the longest part of the book, so we have to do it. Big post at the end.

Apologoes for the slight delay over the weekend -- knew I'd be a little out of it because of the holiday, but then had to take Mom to the hospital (things are fine now, no worries) -- which just threw an additional wrench in.

GM, you still have Remy down 5 damage, but Alustria used her wand to heal me before this fight.

@Remy, I just realised you are way ahead of us in your own pbp Return campaign. I'm going to have a read of yours whn i have time. Maybe I can pick up some pointers.

@Everyone, I hope you're all enjoying the game so far. I know I'm bringing a lot of my own style into this, so I hope you don't mind. I hope you can all see the different directions I'd like to take your characters.
