Drin sells his leather armor and buys a few scrolls: 2 Detect Magic, and one each of Identify, Enlarge Person, and Protection from Evil.

I don’t have any purchase or prep stuff to do, and I’ll try to get my first post in the gameplay thread this afternoon!

Woohoo!

Okay. I'm super excited about rolling that 20 on the jump. I definitely fist pumped irl. I'm coming for you, goblins! :)

I am now able to get back in. I have been struggling for 36 hours now. I will get my post up shortly. Sorry for the delay. I am still not able to get into paizo through chrome and or my phone.

Can't crack the code on how to get my post to take.

So, Theo's a fighter. Eurkar's a monk. Drin's a wizard. Does that mean Jak is the only one of us capable of healing?

This is getting closer than I had expected, and I may need to make some smart decisions in the next round or two.

Yep, you are the only one that can activate a happy stick.

I have some UMD, but using it to try to activate a wand of CLW in combat wouldn't be the best use of my actions. Now that I'm in range, I can start pulling out some better tools.

I'm trying to figure out conversation scenes in PbP. I have questions for the goblin. I have questions for Carlos. I have a suggestion for what to do with the goblin and how to find the tracks leading to the fort. Do I just throw all that out as dialogue? Except it would become a sort of asynchronous monologue where I'm not waiting for responses. That's the most efficient way to keep things moving, but it sort of wrecks the immersion of roleplaying the conversation. How do you handle that?

Grand Lodge

I don't know if you all have noticed but we seem to have lost Jakwin. I have sent a few messages to check on him and gotten nothing back. I sincerely hope nothing bad has happened, but I am not sure how to proceed with respect to bis character. I can limp through botting his actions or we as a group could replace him with a botted pregen of your choice [core class of course]. I will eventually have to contact the venture lieutentants to figure out how to handle his chronicle. I believe Jakwin is entitled to some credit on a sheet, i am just not sure the numbers.

I pose these thoughts to illustrate my situation and to solicit your opinions on the matter.

Any thoughts?

Sorry to see him go. I guess we might want to consider botting a pregen? If we get unlucky and somehow get him killed, that could have unfortunate consequences.

Botting a pregen is fine with me, too.

A pregen is fine and would suggest the Cleric.

Cleric works for me.

Grand Lodge

All:
I am hesitant to continue with the life of Jakwin in my botting hands. As Theo pointed out, it will be extremely complex if Jakwin should happen to get unlucky and get killed.

I have asked my son and my wife to round out the other prayer spot. Neither of them have played PBP before and only my son has played PF Society play before, so please be patient with their questions and such. They will tag team as Zuheilen as cleric of Sarenrae, almost a copy of Kyra, the pregen cleric, except she has selective channeling. I hope this is acceptable. PM me if you have a real heart burn with it.

If Jakwin should be able to return, Zuheilen will fade away (I think).

Sounds good to me.

Grand Lodge

We are getting close now. I will give a little longer for folks to think about how they want to proceed. The goblins from the trees have leather armor small, wooden shields small, short bows small, and dog slicers and no gold.

Ok. So yesterday, I wrecked my car. (I'm fine.) And I'm spending the next three days driving across the province for a move for work. Please be understanding if my posts are delayed.

Not a problem. Glad you are okay. Take whatever time you need. We are not in any hurry. Good luck with all your activities and be safe.

Lucky the dog missed or that would have been painful.
