@Nbazi: Nice!

@EltonJ: It's good to have some/most of the PCs know each other, but I also like the fresh interactions of meeting another character for the first time, so I'm ready to get started whenever you are.

I understand, I'll start the game promptly. :) Let me write the episode list first -- then we can start.

I imagine this whole encounter might have taken place shortly after I showed you Zinnay in between some of your contortion sets.

Okay, I've just seen the Dungeons and Dragons movie and the movie His Only Son. Sorry, I won't be able to get to drafting the episode list until Saturday night.

So, one last question, who is the leader?

Does there have to be a leader? Can chaos be an option? :)

Just to clarify--you're talking about a PC to lead the party, not a player, right? I like the idea of letting one develop organically, but if we need one fixed at the start, and no one else wants to do it, I can have Yumbulika lead.


Male Dragon - AC: 18 (16 TCH, 14 FF); SR: 13; Init: +5; CMB: +4 CMD: 14; F:+4 R:+6 W:+5; HP:22/22; Perception +8; (60’ Darkvision)

Dragons are natural leaders!


Male Grippli - AC: 17 (14 TCH, 14 FF); Init: +4; CMB: 0 CMD: 14; F:+4 R:+6 W:+3; HP:13/13; Perception +7; (60’ Darkvision)

Froggies aren't!! lol

Yes, a PC.

I vote for organic leader/ democratic decisions but am fine with Zinnath or Yumbilika taking charge as well.

Ummm, I was kidding!

I expect Zinnath to maybe think he’s in charge (at most), but most people won’t want to deal with a Faerie Dragon. It needs to be a biped!

GM DavidC -- do you have Mongo's sheet ready yet? I'm trying to get the cast done. :)

I vote for Yumbulika. A 20 Charisma goes a long way towards being the leader/face!


Male Grippli - AC: 17 (14 TCH, 14 FF); Init: +4; CMB: 0 CMD: 14; F:+4 R:+6 W:+3; HP:13/13; Perception +7; (60’ Darkvision)

" I agree...pretty human can speak for Kugu!"

Pretty Halfling!

LOL..oops! Well maybe he has not seen many halflings and just thought it was a small human??!! or I forgot she was a halfling!! hahah


Yumbulika will be quite happy that she won't have to strain her neck to look Kugu in the eye. :) Small folk need to stick together.

As mentioned, I'd prefer leadership (or chaos :)) to develop organically in game, but I'm fine with having Yumbulika leading if needed.

Right. Ensemble cast nearly made. Just waiting on DavidC to respond to my PM.

Mongo, you can do a BBCode export of that and it works quite nicely on these boards.


AC 14, touch 11, flat-footed 13, CMD 16, hp 16, Fort 5, Ref 1, Will 1 Perception +1

@Zinnath As I have no idea what that is, can you elaborate?

When you're inside Hero Lab, there is an option to print/export your character sheet, and you can pick multiple formats. Choose the BBCode format.

Mind you, I'm a Hero Lab Classic user. If you're an Hero Lab Online user, I'm sure the functionality exists, I just don't know where to tell you to find it.

Liberty's Edge

Male Historian/Curator

HLO has the same ability. You need to go to the cog wheel in the top right of the page and then click on the 'Generate Stat block' then chose the BBCode and then 'copy to clipboard'. From there you can just paste it into your avatar.
Hope this helps

Dan

Yes, that does help quite a bit.

It looks like we might have a smaller party than we thought? We may not end up with the 8 or 9 characters we had 2 weeks ago, it looks like Kikina (13 days), Ukube(12 days), and Inyoni (14 days) havent posted in almost 2 weeks.

Of course they could be just lurking and waiting for the adventure to begin, but either way I think a Summoner, his eidolon, a sorceress, A Faerie Dragon, a Grippli, and a Mongo sound like a good party too.

I might write a 14 episode season, then. 14 episodes will be enough for this group. If we are successful in the first season, I might add more. :) I've been heavily invested in the ORC license.

Still here. Just waiting for the action to begin.

Writing the episodes now, I don't think it's going to thunder in the next few hours here.

Episode list up!

Tell me if you like it! There are sixteen episodes, but everyone will get a chance to be in the sun.

Question/comment about #6. Is Inyoni's brother human, half-elf, or elf? Also, given how common polytheism is, how do you run an inquisition, especially for Yuelral or The Green Faith?

If we were talking about Abadar or Iomedae or a few others, almost always lawful-something, then I could see heresy being a thing. But the Green Faith or Yuelral? Seems like a hard thing to make work when there's no centralized hierarchy with an authoritarian streak.

You're right about the Green Faith, maybe I should look into your background better.

Okay, you don't have a background. But your philosophy is Green Faith. I'll rewrite episode 6.

Yeah, I never quite got around to a formal background. Here's what I wrote about her in a previous post:

Inyoni grew up among the Ekujae elves and has come south to Nantambu to visit her dad for a while. She's from the area up nearer Lake Ocota along the Vanji River.

Since she's just on an extended visit, she doesn't have a job, any particular things she needs to be doing, or any particular places where she needs to be. She fairly outgoing, so she can be considered to be out and about in the city wherever there's something of interest happening. So Inyoni is sort of a wild card who can be inserted anywhere.

She's more trained as a demon hunter than a classic inquisitor in the European historical mould.

I can write a Focus episode based on the demon hunter aspect.

I still exist, I just haven't seen any reason to comment up until now. Gonna get a post up.

I wouldn't mind touching on the church of Urgathoa at some point, as they are Mongo's sworn enemy.

Also, can you please create the campaign thead so we can dot and get notification of new posts?

My initial post was yesterday, not the one you're thinking of. I fixed it for my second post.

Okay, finished up with the College Semester so I've got plenty of free time. I'm a little confused at the moment, have we paid to be able to go into the carnival or do we still need to convince them?
