I have a question for our GM.
Do you have a standard way of how you handle "Nimble Dodge" in PbP?
If not my suggestion would be, that my default would be I would apply it to the second attack of the first creature that attacks me in any given round (if I have a reaction available). If it only attacks once I'll use it on the first attack of the first creature.
I'll put exceptions in ooc if I want to change things up.
Hope that works for you, if you have a different routine that proved to be good in the past, I'll gladly adjust to that :)

I'll go with that for now.

Moving our "how will our group survive" discussion here (from the recruitment thread).
With that group makeup, any combat needs to be as quick as possible, right? O.o

PFS question: in PFS 1st edition, you could freely retrain your character as long as he/she was below level 2. Is that still the case in 2E?
And a similar question: for stat creation, the Core book mentions being able to voluntarily reduce 2 stats to gain a boost in a single different one. Is that possible in PFS?

Well that generally benefits every party, but if we go first our first round damage is potentially scary, yes :)
Also, if need be Pickles can attack from range with his late mother's crossbow. As I said before, can't wait to see how this adventure will turn out for us!

Let me know when Pickles gets too annoying. I'll tone down his antics then :)

I mean, the antics are what make rpg's fun, am I right?
I guess I'd say the same for Jal, though. I tend to write him a bit irreverent, so if I'm stepping on anyone's toes, please let me know and I'll try to be more considerate. :)

Hey guys sorry I'm a bit behind on posting. My daughter was born on Friday so, it's been a bit all over the place this weekend. I'll try to catch up next week!

Welcome Ritcher! No problem being fashionably late. Anything to stand out in a crowd, right? :)
Sorry for being a little late to THIS party here in Discussion. Kind of like what Ritcher was saying, Paizo wasn't indicating there were any new posts here, only showing me new ones in Recruitment. Odd.
More importantly, a big CONGRATS to Pickles and your family on the new addition. You too, Kaz. (I'm def the old-timer here...my 2 "baby" girls are in their 20s.)
As for Pickles and Jal, please continue with the antics and shenanigans! I'm trying to have my arrogant Doctor have fun with it. It makes these Gameplay posts a LOT of fun to read and encourages good roleplay. So keep it up! On that same note, if Dr. Lazarus gets too stodgy and irritating, please let me know as well.
P.S. Happy to let Ritcher take the lead on this last "mission assignment" encounter. Especially with your Thievery skills.... Haha, maybe steal the item back from Jal! :)

Hey, every good story needs the straight man. I've enjoyed the chemistry so far. :)

And congrats man :D

Thank you guys :) Also Congrats to you Kazkoya!
It's #2 for me as well, so you kinda know what you're getting into and you kinda don't. They're all goblins, but not the same kind I guess :)
Welcome to you as well Ritcher! Right on time before things kick off I'd say!

Alright guys I've an idea, both thievery and stealth checks can surprise Tamrin so as Ritcher mentioned his idea would be palm his Wayfinder! Not sure if it's possible (can't find how much bulk a Wayfinder has) but if viable Ritcher will do a stealth check and then a thievery one, and have the party do divertion to keep onlookers distracted.
I'm just improvising so I'd like to have the GM input on this x.x

damn I was having the same problem as the Doctor, just seeing these discussion posts. Congrats Pickles! and Welcome Ritcher. This has been one of the more fun PbP Rp's I've been in, so fun to get a group wanting to roleplay and have fun like this one!

That was basically what I was attempting with Jal (and his Thievery attempt). So work that into the plan however it makes sense. :)

Well for what I can piece together we need a diversion (bluff), others party members can use aid with relevant skills to further such divertion and Ritcher will then do a stealth and Thievery check... Not sure how to improve my thievery besides using a hero point in case I roll low.

No worries, Ritcher. Just make your Thievery check. Even a crit fail will cause the distraction we need. You can just wave it off saying you're new here and you thought it would be the perfect time for practicing. Haha...it'll make a BETTER distraction if you fail. So have no fear and make that roll!!!

Oh, I guess I assumed that our mark would have been considered distracted due to already being in a conversation. I didn't realize we had to specifically supply our own distraction in order for thievery to work.

We've just been making distractions for the people talking to the heads of the different factions. I think the Doctor was just hoping to get Ritcher involved in this one.

But either way, we really need to move along since it's been a couple days. Ritcher, just make that Thievery roll (describing the Wayfinder thing or stealing from Jal), hope for the best, and we should be good to go. But I think we're all kinda waiting on that ....

Sorry, but I'm a little confused. Where do you want us to place our tokens? And more importantly, how do I do that? Never created tokens on PbP game maps before.

You just add a picture of your character (either a VTT Token, or your Forum Avatar) to the slide deck. The slides are linked in phaeton's statline and on the very top in the campaign information.
Also, I linked them here again.
@phaeton: Can we place the tokens anywhere on the map or are we limited to a certain starting area?

Huh... My phone is kinda old and I can't quite edit things online x.x
I'd appreciate if someone can kindly put mine u.u

Was about to create Ritcher's icon on the map, but another kind soul beat me to it.
To clarify the Doctor's actions: I meant for him to already be in that position to the SW of the fountain. So his actions should be: Devise, Interact (Draw his blade), Strike. Sorry about any confusion.

Since you were influencing the crowd leaders, presumably you'd place your tokens on or near the fountain. Anywhere around there will do.

Ritcher...I think the GM needs you to target a diff goblin: Green, Purple, or Red, since Yellow was apparently dead before you got there. I'd recommend either Green (who hasn't gone yet, so maybe you get Sneak damage?) or Purple (who's already injured).

Oh, huh sorry, sorry I got a little confused x.x
Should I edit my post? If so I moved to different place so the burning hands didn't targeted me?

But I seriously doubt the idea is to avoid Burning Hands, since you didn't know it was coming. Nice try.
Just post who Ritcher targeted instead of Yellow: either Green or Purple. If you move within reach of them, it won't affect the Burning Hands spell. If you don't do anything quickly, I fear that your last attack will be wasted on the already-dead Yellow one.

I think Jal might be up, not 100% though.

GM: If Jal is up, and since Blue has been taken out, can the 4 PCs at the top of the order also post? (Asking for a friend.)

I'll try to put a post together asap. Bit unfortunate, I checked 15 mins before we got our 2nd turn. If I haven't posted in 8 hours feel free to bot me.

It's been a week since we've seen a post from Jal. Everything okay there?
Yeah, my sincerest apologies, guys. My dot fell off and I kind of got sideswiped with kiddo school/work stuff. Am I still okay to try to catch up and participate? Or have you guys moved on?
Again, I'm really sorry. This game just kind of got wiped from my brain over the last week. :/

Thanks doctor, meet Christmas and happy holidays to you as well!
For identifying potions it's identify magical item so recall knowledge with the proper aligned knowledge (arcana occult religion or nature) or crafting for an alchemical elixir
