Discord or hangouts is fine for me, and I'll also send my email in a PM. I once shared it in a thread here and had several people comment that I should post it on a public forum....
I prefer discord for ooc chatter, thought the boards also works. I'm sorry for being so slow. It won't happen again.
okay preference seems to be discord. if I want to create a private discussion there do I create a new server? or shpuld I do something else?
My current plan is to have the real adventure start on the weekend.
We are before that timeline. Thats the problem with putting old content just into the current time. I think I will have to change the date back to a more suitable time like 4710.
The official part of the Adventure has started. The current situation is a bit unknown, but things will get clearer over time. Please refrain from opening otehr spoilers or documents while you are not active yet.
fyi Im one of those that cannot manipulate characters on the battlemap.
@ the people not able to chnage the slides:
What device do you use to access it? and do you have a Microsoft Office 365 account active on it?
I have a few questions concerning the loot list example in the Info Folder.
What does released mean?
Shouldnt be available a bit further up, at least before Sold.
But mostly it should fit for you guys so please post your impression to hewit so he can adjust it to our campaign.
I was able to move mine now. Using computer, Windows, Firefox, Office 365.
@ all:
Please refrain from Posting when you are not currently up for action.
This should be recognizable by the arrow pointing at your line in the Status track.
Just now Davor moved as his move in round 3 while not being up, and Kerndrew now moved into the space vacated as his move in Round 2.
I will let that stand for now, because there is no easy fix while still preserving Kerndrews intention of getting away from every Monster, but I would like to avoid that in the future.
If you prefer a different way of pointing out who is up please tell me, I can make people bold, but that would need some more complex adaptions to my excel.
Bold is certainly the common convention on these boards, so it will be seamless if you can do that adaptation.
If that's difficult, perhaps if you move the arrow in front of the PC name instead of after, that might make it more obvious.
Regardless, whatever you choose is something I'm sure we can adapt to.
You are probably right,
In the game I play its 50-50. But in those using the arrow I mess up myself too sometimes.
So from next post onwards I will switch to bold lines.
Do note that if damage is reduced to 0 or below you actually still deal 1 non-lethal damage.
Thanks Found the rule and added it to the totals.

Released is simply the catch all for treasure items that were handled differently than SOLD or TAKEN by a specific character. Things like giving them back to the rightful owner, destroying evil items, or other such actions. This is the one section that tends to have notes in every row.
As for the available being further up, Never really thought of it that way. If needed I should be able to rearrange it easily enough.
@Hewit:
Ah makes sense. As I said its fine by me, so if the others are okay too, we can use it.
Also yes I think after a short inspection you are aware that the others are sickened too.
@Gregor:
I asked you a few question via PM too, to understaand the problem. Also Can you edit any of the word or excel documents in the folder?

ahhh and there you have it...it works! Thanks for that.

I answered, but dont worry it works properly when I click edit.
I have no problems editing anything.
@Hewit:

Based on that then I would say I stay where I was and use Calming Touch on Davor, healing his non-lethal damage and removing the sickened condition. Thank you.
Sorry. I was offline Sunday and just did a quick glance this morning and didn't realize that it wasn't my turn. I wasn't wanting to delay things so I posted....
Hmm I really like Kenderellas idea, but I am not sure how the actual implementation would be benefitial here. To not mess this up I like to make sure I understand it right:
Effect on PCs:
Everybody affected not making a Willpower check +4 vs. 15 will see that he or his friends are covered in Acid. He will feel that he is not hurting from it but I would still think this to be very distracting. (another -1 to attack?)
Everybody who is making the save is obviously allright.
PS: They people actually covered by the Illusion would get an additional +2 circumstance bonus to dispell, because they don't feel the acid at all.
Effect on the Vernim:
How would a mainly aquatic animal know what acid is without any sound or smell to warn it?
Also an animal would rely much less on sight, but on smell and his tremorsense.
I would say they are at least slightly worried, saving Davor and Gregor from a full attack, but otherwise they would be mostly uneffected.
Am I missing something here?
And isnt an illusion a mind effect and therefore wouldnt effect the scorpions at all?
Figments are not mind affecting. They make things appear. Then the enemy can choose to interact with them based on their instincts and/or thoughts. In the case of vermin they don't think, they just act on instinct. I do not know how their vision is like. If they can't see and just act on what they smell/hear then the spell might not work very well. They do observe that anything that gets in contact with the substance disolves.
The PCs do get a will save at +4. Not sure about getting extra bonuses for not feeling pain though, that's not in the rules. I also don't think they should take any penalties, but you're the GM. Their vision is not obscured as I didn't make it a cloud of acid that cover everything, though if I did a failure to disbelieve would probably have caused concealment.
Silent image can create such a wide variety of effects that it's hard to have rules for every case. I think it's good to discuss how they might affect a give situation, but ultimately it's you who decide how effective they are based on the challenge we are up against.
The DC is actually 16 since Kendrella gets a bonus on illusion spells.
Thanks for that link it helped clearing up what the different types of Illusions are.
I will post an update in the Afternoon/Evening considering all it.
I see that I misread the effect. I've only put 5 5-foot cubes, but the spell actually allow 5 10 foot cubes. That'll allow me to cover much more ground and also the other passengers.
Good Idea to get all your 1s out of your system in this entry level fight, wouldn't want to roll them later with the T-Rex.
Also it allows me to improve my posting format a bit more.
Just kidding. Lets get this over with.
True, except that we are "entry level" too! :)
I like the thought of Gregor thinking hes melting lol
Concerning the previous turns there are two points I want to clarify, althoug I assume they are obvious to such experienced players.
First, I understood Hewits and Kenderellas actions both to be friendly, executed to get the affected PCs boni on their willpower rolls. Therefore I let them stand.
But generally if I feel any ambiguity on this question I will ignore the action. Also Diplomacy or Intimidate are not skills to be used on other PCs to force them to accept a certain course of actions.
As I mentioned this is no reprimand on Hewit or Kenderella, just a good point to define my stand on these things.
I think Davor missed sneak attack on his AoO. He was flanking with Hewit at the time, right?
If Gregor is wielding the axe two handed I think he still gets +3 from strength then -2 from sickened for a total of +1.
Rolled a 10 to hit for the AoO. Bad luck!
If Gregor is wielding the axe two handed I think he still gets +3 from strength then -2 from sickened for a total of +1.
Good point, lets correct that.
Adter all you are supposed to die of Hunger and dieseases and not on this beach, before you can get to know all the suffering.
Kewl! That should kill the red one!
I wonder what they taste like!?! Lobster is pretty good....
Does Hewit have a melee weapon besides his fists? Without a melee weapon you don't actually threaten and can't flank. I considered going in to offer flanking previously, but since I don't have a weapon, I couldn't.
@Kenderella:
Can you give me aan explanation for the numbers in your Acid Splash?
I have ATT +2 for ranged -2 for sickened for a total of 0.
And what exactly is that a ability to add +1 damage?
Oups, i forgot to add both +1 from small and -2 from sickened, sorry. Not sure if spells take -2 damage like weapons do?
The +1 damage is from using an acid flask as focus like described here: https://aonprd.com/AlchemicalReagents.aspx
Thanks, no problem, Its only hard to find such things when you don't knw exactly what you are looking for.
@all I would prefer it if you all name the modifiers separately from your base Attack. So in the example above: 1d20+2 -2 +1. The Dice macro is handling that fine and its easier for me to compare to your stat sheet.
Also, since the first fight is in the book now I would also like feedback. As this was my first fight as GM in PbP, I would like to know if you want to handle anything diffferent in the future, especially in coomunication.
I think it went well.
And I agree about listing combat modifiers somewhere clearly. That also helps everyone to see what is applied, and may have been missed.

Also, for feedback I feel it was handled well. The situation seemed chaotic, so some chaos among the characters is expected as well. And with the mods, I try to do this as well, though sometimes I fail to remember to.
Edit: That channel energy should bring everyone who took damage to full. If not, let me know and we can see what can be done.
Well the chaos wasn intentional. Which is why I kept you all in the dark at the beginning to build up the anxiety.
Channel Ennergy works fine.
@Hewit
can you make some note of the reduced AC in the topline
Also you adjusted your HP for the healing.
Sorry for the confusion. Most of the AP is described theater of mind style so I have to make these things up. I will probably also run some of the scenes ToM because I am not sure How many maps I want to draw.
@ Gregor: I will roleplay the Jask scene later in the evening, for now I have to start working.
Did I miss your response to my previous roleplay anywhere Gregor? I tried to continue the thread you had started during the battle about wanting to get my character afterwards.
I was without internet connection for a handful of days and couldnt respond. When I got connection again we were at the wreckage.
it something we can role play later or just handwave it and move on. I was considering they had already come to term with it before getting to the cliff since I couldnt do anything about it earlier.
up to you
