No problem, I just wanted to double-check while we were still at the beginning of the adventure!
I included Class Bonus and +1 HP while making Linge, but somehow forgot about Skill? So she gets 7 ranks instead of 6.
Linge is now trained in Knowledge (geography).

Your PC will receive all three each level (including level 1).
My apologies on that not reading clearly, I do see how it could be read either way. But I like giving the characters a little extra padding with the HP, extra skill to help with that background, and the class bonus because who doesn't like extra boost to a class feature.
Your characters are supposed to be heroes, let's help them get there!
Oh my. I totally forgot/missed this! Wow. Thank you
I feel like it's a bit choppy but I had to get something up. Apologies for the delay, everyone!

Hey, you had a hurricane to deal with. I'm just glad you're safe and could catch up. :)

Hey man, as I said in my message do not feel rushed to jump on the game. I think a Hurricane is a perfectly good reason not to be posting. I am glad that you all are well, but if you need a couple days (or longer) to get things back to normal please take your time. The game will be here.
I still need to update Mia's sheet to reflect the clarification you gave, GM, but it turns out that changelings don't have a favored class option for magus. What's the plan for cases like that?

Mia: Hokay. So. I’m positive that if Mia wasn’t the one making Kessir’s bows & arrows, he would never speak to her. Yes, I like that idea. Kessir is the customer who places a list and some coins down and might, MIGHT say “Have a good day,” when he leaves. That’s not to say that he would ever do anything to harm Mia, she’s part of the community after all and Erastil demands that you keep the peace. However, Kessir’s probably keeps an eye on her whenever he sees her around.
@Mia Upon the realization that I completely fabricated parts of your backstory, I'm going to scrap this and go in a completely different direction, if you're interested.
I think, initially, Kessir would have been suspicious of Mia. She did arrive around the same time that both of his parents were killed by a hag AND she came in with a Varisian caravan, people who are known to perform harrowings. I'm not saying Kessir is prejudice but her arrival would have definitely coincided when his wounds were fresh and his fear of the arcane had newly developed. A time when he was allowing that to color his perception of people. I like to think that it would not have taken long for him to get over it and fully welcome her to Heldren. (Probably with a a generous helping of apologies for being so cold to her.) Which could possibly lend itself as to why Kessir buys arrows from Mia exclusively.
I don't think he has any idea that Mia is a changeling. Or more accurately, if he ever had a time when a suspicion began to form, he would have quashed the feeling out of guilt. After all, she's just a normal girl who needed a home and a community.

Great question. Two options.
1) Use the 3rd Party option - Magus: Add +1 to concentration checks for spells cast while using spell combat. (Book of Heroic Races: Advanced Compendium by Jon Brazer Enterprises)
2) Changelings have 3 Favored Class options listed. Oracle, Rogue, Witch. 2 of those use the human option. So you could also go with the human favored class option. - Magus: Add +1/4 point to the magus’ arcane pool.
I would be cool with either of them. Just let me know which you'd rather go with. Or, I am open to suggestions.

I like that, and I think it would be a great starting point. I was also toying with the idea of Mia having a crush on Kessir, and this would be a good reason why. He doesn't seem to be attached and he seems to genuinely care for her. It's not something she had a lot of experience with and I can see her carrying on an adolescent infatuation with him that developed from that bond.
It'd also provide ample fodder for Kriemhild to tease Mia to death which is also a plus, well for me, not for Mia. It might also be the biggest open secret in Heldren if we want it to be.
It's up to you. I just wanted to check and see if you were okay with it before posting something to that effect. At the moment, she's happy Kessir showed up because it could prevent Linge from probing deeper into how Horn got into a bunch of elderberry pies that she has no idea where they came from. Nope. She certainly didn't buy them from the Silver Stoat as a treat for him the next time she caught him roaming about town alone. :P

Works for me. Although, she is a Hexcrafter. It could be interesting if her sword gave her access to some spells. (Basically, what do you think about using the Changeling Witch's favored class bonus and tying it to her blackblade?)

@Linge: Is it possible for you to join the Discord? I have things broken down there to help keep conversations separate and potentially easier to navigate and return to. If you can CLICK HERE for our Discord server.
@Mia: humm.... I need to do some looking on the BlackBlade / intelligent item, let me take a look and do some thinking. I'm going to head out and cut my grass and get back to you on this.

I'm good with that.

Kriemhild will absolutely try to enthusiastically ship Kessir and Mia if both players are fine with that.
As in:
You dont have enough body mass, neither of you! You best share a sleeping sack! It gets more warmest if its different genders!
GM: I can join the Discord. I can occasionally remember to log in on Discord. I can also certify, based on previous experience, that I will entirely forget about the existence of Discord at some point until someone else, in the distant future, reminds me that there is an app named Discord that I should definitely be on. And the whole cycle will repeat.
More seriously, I'm incredibly bad at remembering that Discord exists, and unless you think that it would be better to ask a specific character question or warn about a future absence on Discord to de-clutter the Discussion Thread, you probably won't see me on the app
@Linge: not a problem. Current talk on discord. Marching order.

Linge could take Kessir's side, at the fifth position. That way, Krokod can be protected by Golden Arrow!
Sounds good. I also completely forgot about Horn. Would he be behind you or in front of you?

I'll put him in the front!
About the night guard: she and Horn can stay awake for the first shift (unless someone else wants the spot of!)
Kriemhild is in second shift because doesnt have spellslots for now.

Well I'm a dummy and forgot to buy a bedroll. That's been fixed now. I'm going with the blanket, bedroll, and backpack were gifts from the caravan that brought her to Heldren in the hopes that she'd take to the road one day. Lots of Varisian motifs and iconography in the weaves of the blanket and bedroll and the tooling of the backpack.
I'm leaving tools home which means that, without the food, Mia's just under the threshold for medium encumbrance at 64.1 lbs, so she's still in the light bracket. Standard procedure is going to be to drop the pack if she's fighting, or leaving it on Golden Arrow's cart if she offers.
If anyone's interested, I'm running a game.
I have fond memories of Crypt of the Everflame. Are you by chance going to run the two modules that follow that one? I’ve played and ran CotE but never the two that followed.
Neat. I've played it before but if that's not a disqualifier for applying I would enjoy it again and I can play dumb (Also my memory sucks so bonus)
Night Watch:
20:00 - 24:00: Linge/Horn & Mia

Yeah I would love to get into a game, but I told myself I wouldn’t do anything else on the boards until I was through book 1. Or at least have a solid rhythm before something else.
Sadly, I won't have time to join, the two weeks are going to be super busy :( Have fun!
I'll put him in the front!
In front of the line or in front of you?

Sorry- I meant in front of me :)

That's the plan. I need to get Golden City of Death, but I have Masks of the Living God. (Which playing through was one of my fondest memories at the store where I started playing Pathfinder.)
Okay, got Mia updated so she has both the skill point and hit point FCBs. The racial FCB will have to wait until either 3rd or 4th level depending on what the GM decides, so she's good to go. :)
Anyone has bought tents? We would need 3 Medium ones for the entire group.
Linge can sell her Small tent and buy a Medium one, but she's already Heavily Encumbered. Hence my question about whether or not we would get 'extra help' to carry our stuff :)
Okay. Asking about tents :)
Kriemhild is insufficiently pragmatic for this.
Tents? TENTS?! Who needs a tent when you have nature's tent?!
Tents? TENTS?! Who needs a tent when you have nature's tent?!
Of course, that can be where Kessir sleeps if he so chooses :P The bear cub might act as a natural winter blanket if he lies across your torso. But careful: he snores...
No post from me tonight. Way too tired.
Weak!
Well, I'm also not sure what to post. Mia's running around grabbing supplies and stuff, so not sure when/if she'll run into the others.
Maybe she can meet with the others at the Stoat - or we quickly gather wrap up the gathering stuff part and move on :)
That's what I did hoping to not make everyone wait on me and meet y'all at Tessaraea's. I could rewind and just rearrange some of the things, visit the general store and her home first then come by the Stoat.

It's all good. As long as people don't mind me taking liberties with timelines, I will maneuver things to fit a little bit better when needed.
Since most of us seem to be wrapping things up : anything we want to buy for the party before setting off? Cold iron weapons? Rations? Tents? I think individually, we're pretty set
Tents and rations at least. I'm tapped out on cash after grabbing rations and something hot to eat at the Stoat, down to 1 silver piece.
Post coming later.
I'm sitting on 60 gp ATM. If anyone wants to purchase something with that funds just say so. I left that big time gap in my last post so we could always put something up about Kessir covering some things.
We definitely need some shelter. It'd be 45 GP for enough tents for all of us, 60 gp if we need to worry about sheltering Goldie's goats. I'd love to get a heat source, but that may be something that I need to craft down the road.
I don't think this ever came up in recruitment, but would we ever be able to have some downtime in the AP to craft stuff? I'm okay if it's only when we make camp or whenever. I'd just like to know before I go investing into crafting feats.
I'll snag the tents then.
I fear my post may have made the timeline confusion worse! >< I thought the group might be done at the General Store by the time Kriemhild and Linge left the Stoat (meanwhile, Golden Arrow takes care of some very stubborn mules indeed), and they'd meet briefly before she goes to buy her items.
I'll only buy a couple of things from the store anyway (a waterskin and a compass) and Linge hasn't any questions to ask Vivialla, so I didn't think it'd be worth more than a line of text. For more clarity, I don't mind doing Stoat=> General Store => Everyone meets.
“Actually, since it looks like we might have a free minute, I was hoping to talk to you about something,” Kessir said. He shifted from one foot to the other. “Ya know, I’ve been coming to you for a while now for all of my bows and whatnot. And there’s something I’ve been meaning to ask you for a bit now. Any chance that you-Linge! Alright, glad to see we’re all starting to trickle in.” Kessir looked over Linge’s shoulder and asked, “Where’s the fluff ball?”
Ooooh, are we going to have a bit of a "will they, won't they situation"? :)))
Wonder what he was going to ask...

If this was a bad rom-com, it'd be something like "any chance that you might know if X was single?"
