Okay. Just wanted to make sure of things.
I did a bit of extra work for you guys, to help you see how your party covers all the different skills. To help me check all of your character sheets I created a simple stat sheet template and filled it in with your stats. Simple enough to pull all your skills together into another sheet.
This sheet doesn't account for extra things such as tracking, locating traps, forgeries and other things that are a sub-action of that skill. I have also added the link to the campaign tab.
As the highest bonus out of everyone is Morthos' Intimidate, coming in at a massive +16; The whole deathless group gains a boon.
Reroll: You can reroll 1 d20. This boon must be used while at Branderscar Prison.
Man that is a cool sheet.
Lol!
Real quick, GM, I think you forgot my Social Grace social talent to Bluff, making it +13. That applies to the entire skill, not just sub-actions.
I had a separate note that you get a +4 to bluff while in your social identity. Since it's not active if you are in your vigilante identity.
Good stuff Thorn! On a side note, unrelated to the sheet, I think I still need to update/fix my situational bonus from the template. It looks like Hero Lab is still using the old ones (looking at my sheet).
@DM: I don't know if you needed rolls for the disable device. If you do, let me know, or feel free to make the rolls for me.
@All: I'm in the camp of hit hard and fast to escape, but I'm down for whatever shenanigans people are up for. I just don't want to get too bogged down with planning right at the get go.
Ok Seltyiel, let me know what you change.
Check your PM's f(r?)iends. I've sent each of you a message regarding your backstory. I'm wanting to work with you and create plot hooks and things that will make this AP even more personal for your characters to see through.
Ok Seltyiel, let me know what you change.
It's Disguise and Stealth - they should be only an extra +2 situational, if I understood the template evolution well. I made the modifications on the sheet directly.

@Gm: How much to the PC know about the layout of the prison? Do we know if we are upstairs, downstairs, etc?
I'm having a blast already! I'm excited to continue with this with all of you!
p.s. I swear I'm not a jerk in RL!

Demian maintains his prostrate position. "Yeah..so..I'm gonna be useless to you with fighting. So...I'm gonna stay here while ya'll go murder some peeps who have it coming. I'll be useful at some point later though..swearsies. Go team, go!..and by team, I mean everyone but me.."
HA! I gotta kick out of "swearsies". Have you folks ever seen Galavant?
Oh my gosh it is so dang funny. 'Swearsies' is something King Richard would say. And to be honest, King Richard is probably the best character out of all of them. And he might actually have said it but I can't remember.
Definitely recommend if you haven't seen it. It's only like 20 something episodes total though unfortunately.
I’ve seen the first season. It’s pretty funny, not gonna lie.
Don’t worry, Demian, we’ll take guys out. Hopefully we can get whatever they gave us out of our system so you can use your abilities to help.
I have not seen it and I now desperately want to.
When I was typing up the post 'swearsies' just kinda fell right in. I hadn't really fully decided on a personality for the character. I am excited where that one post is going to take Demien. 'Swearsies' plus 'Pirevam' plus his background really synergize together. I'm pretty stoked.
EDIT: I do not plan on trying to turn this game silly.
Honestly, I believe every game needs an absolute bit of silly. Not saying a constant barrage of it(unless the game itself calls for it) but, you know, a bit here or there. But that's just me. I always like a bit of lightheartedness in every game. No matter how dark the theme of a game is or how serious, I believe it's always good to throw that in from time to time. It's just fun! :)
I am binging Galavant and it is amazing!
I'm telling you! Man that is some funny stuff. :)
The only real issue I'm having is the layout of the prison. In essence, I'm kind of flying blind. But having said that, that just makes it that much more interesting. :)
If it helps I have added a link at the top of the page showing the Cell Block you guys are in.
Yeah that's a huge help! Thanks for that. I did not see that.
Okay, now that I've seen the map, I NOW understand what everyone has been talking about. My gosh I was totally lost. Man o man thanks again for that map, Thorn.
Okay, I got a suggestion. Will get it in the gameplay.
I say we check out 18b-c-d-e first. Figure if we can do that THEN we can go after the guards. Unless of course there are guards in those rooms. Then we could be in a heap of trouble. :P
Do we want to check out the western door first or do we want to deal with the guards to the south first?
I would say the south guys first. Mainly due to the room and it's potential of us being able to avoid getting flanking. To the west, if we are heard there then there's a greater chance of being surrounded with that big ol' open hallway.
The southern room just feels more defensible in case things go south. No pun intended. :P
You can see into cells b,c,d and e. They are empty.
Does anyone not have darkvision?
We are all going the undead route, so if we don't now, we all should eventually. Otherwise, I think we'll need the lantern on the veil.
EDIT: Whoops. Attributed the quote to the wrong person. Sorry Seltyiel.
I wasn't the one that asked it (and I'm definitely not going the undead route!) but I do believe some of us might not have darkvision right now and might need help with it ;)
I was just being lazy. Checking everyone, it looks like Eowithe is the only on without Darkvision, but they basically have blindsense against things that are afraid.

Cool. That was easy. :)
Almost there. Hoping Morthos and Demian will roll stealth too. Then I'll roll the guard's perception and get it started.
Is there any order at the door? Or just crowding in and let initiative sort you out?
My bad. Getting to that now.
Might have to clear your cookies if you're having trouble logging on. I know I had to.
Sorry folks, the entire login server went down due to a high weather event yesterday. As the Cardinal said, if you have trouble logging on, delete your cookies. You may have to manually delete your Paizo cookies - I had to, as clearing all of them didn't solve the issue.
Yeah I just went to my history and deleted ALL my cookies from the "beginning of time." That did the trick. Before, though, I couldn't sign in at all on Chrome. Had to go to Edge to sign in. I could sign in there no prob. But that's probably because I NEVER use Edge and therefore had no cookies.
But it's all good now.
Awesome. Hope we can get this combat rolling.
Eowithe, Seltyiel, Sarela, Morthos need to post actions.
Will do. But don't forget about Guard 1. Looks like he goes before the latter three of us.
Yep, so remember he won't be flat footed.
Ugh. We can't buy a freaking hit on this stinking guard. Ugh again.
Remember, everyone has 1 reroll of a d20.
Remember, everyone has 1 reroll of a d20.
Might be worth it here. Going to be a lot harder to get out if the whole place is on alert from the get go.
You know, I was contemplating it hard and that's kind of what I was thinking as well. But I was torn.
You know, what they hey. Will give it a go.
Ok. Are just going to let the guard go and hope for the best?
I'm leaning towards moving and dropping down to block. If someone else comes too, we can block the stairwell and they likely can't get past us.
That being said, I don't want to do a suicide drop without support.
Man I knew I should have waited to post something. I thought about that but figured it was such a long shot.
But if somebody else will roll with you on that, I think that's a solid idea. Of course it all depends on how the dice fall(another reason I decided against with my garbage rolling), obviously, but it's got interesting potential.
Reassurance: I am not a jerk like Demian.
Seems like tit for tat actually. Eowithe was sarcastic first.
If you aren't wanting to drop 15ft., the row of squares the guard is on is only 10ft. lower and the row behind him 5ft. lower.
When I play jerk characters in pbp, I like to make sure that others at the table know that I am not my character.
Of course, we're role playing! All's fair !
I'd assume that whomever took something from the veil last would be the one holding it... Sarela or Morthos took a dagger last I think. I just know Eowtithe doesn't have it :)
