Age of Ashes (Team Alseta)

Game Master Delta Arena

Yeah, I thought 3gp for a minor bear repellent would be easily affordable.

snorts

Turns out Netkin has spent all of his gps to get on this adventure! And he cannot even ask grandma for an early monthly allowance...

Anyone has some dough?

From my records, the party has 5 sp, 40 cp. If we use all the party gold, I’m willing to contribute 2.1 gp to cover the 3 gp for the bear repellent. Sound good?

Could everyone contribute 5sp plus the 5sp from the party? that would make it 3gp

I'd be happy to!

Works for me!

Also, just checking what folks have for XP. I have 560 XP on my sheet. Did I miss anything along the way?

That also works for me.

@Cerrus: I have 680 xp on my sheet, but I may have made adding errors. I just add xp as we go along, so if there is an error, I don't know where it originates.

SPs deducted from my character sheet!

Mine too! I'll admit I've kinda been bad about keeping track of XP since we leveled up, though. <_<

Happy New Year, everyone!

I... didn't. >.<

Happy new year everyone!

680xp is correct unless I have made the same mistake as Ellaeaanda.

Happy New Year!! May it be filled with levelling ups :))

Happy New Year! I second leveling up. :)

Seriously, in a Rise of the Runelords play-by-post I was in back in the day, we encountered an undead trapped in a room who was gonna take off running after the guy who wronged her, and we weren't sure if we wanted to let her do that, so we started talking strategy (in-character), and eventually she chimed in with "I can hear what you're saying through the door, you know."

We were SO embarrassed that we let her out to seek her revenge. :P

LOL a very heroic decision.

Most of the next few rounds were spent trying to keep up with her as she bolted towards the basement boss battle. We were worried she was gonna solo it without us!

Thankfully, skeletons have no ears :3

Haha, I definitely assumed the party was out of earshot out of the skeletons!

Yeaaah we were not nearby, and they speak Diabolic, and they don't even have eardrums!!! :P

They were human once, they can know more than one language.

I would have imagined that going the other way around.

There was a reason she was locked behind a sturdy door. :P

I mean, yeah, that's fair.

Hey all, I’m traveling for the next week and the internet situation isn’t that great. I’ll post as I can.

I am clearly terrible at handing out hero points, so I want to try something different. I could try handing out hero points at the beginning of each dungeon/major sequence with the amount based on how long that senquence is. Would everyone be okay with trying that?

I'm cool with that. Really, whatever works best for you is good for me. I'm terrible at using hero points if it makes you feel better. :)

Ditto!

Trainer Delta throws a great ball at Ditto.

It kind of does make me feel better, lol.

Okay, let's try that, if it doesn't work we can revert it.

Haha, I didn't even know it was a Pokemon! :') But I was never a superfan, and I grew up with the French version anyways...

hahahaha that's fair, I am just in a really intense pokemon phase right now.

I just google it and apparently Ditto is called Métamorph in french.

FYI: travel days tomorrow and Sunday. Then, back to regular availability for awhile.

Sorry everyone, I've co-hosted conference yesterday, and it has left me in something of a coma.

I'll do my best to get back on track tomorrow!

'Tis cool, rest and restore!

Sorry that I didn't post during the weekend, I was feeling under the weather.

The banter was awesome, it was so full of character.

No apology necessary!

Exactly! This should remain fun for everyone!

Ditto!

No worries at all! With play-by-post games, I expect some lulls from time to time.

I'm gonna place a few things as spoilers to make them easier to skip if you are not interested, you are all welcomed to read the contents, as I assume the characters are sharing that information. They are copied directly from the adventure path.

I love how Netkin and Cerrus each are so into books. It's just a battle of who posts first to see who looks at books first!

Battle of the Nerds!

They are true sons of Breachill! :P

ANNOUNCEMENT! I've been in conversation with our illustrious GM and they have given me permission to use the Runesmith playtest class on Ardoinel, and I have updated him accordingly!

Haha, I knew Ardoinel wouldn't be content to stick to the same class for long. :)

Exploring ALL possibilities ;)

Wow, traps feel like such a dirty play in pbp compared to live. Ellaeaanda missed detecting the trap by a little bit.

At least we got xp for it! :)

Yay, level up!

LVL 3 :

HP 36/36
AC 19
Class DC 18

Perception +7

Fortitude +9
Reflex +9
Will +7

Skill Increase: crafting (+10)

Ancestry Paragon Feat:

Innocuous: Halflings have been unobtrusive assistants of larger folk for untold ages, and your people count on this assumption of innocence. You gain the trained proficiency rank in Deception (or another skill of your choice, if you’re already trained in Deception). If you fail a Deception check to Create a Diversion, humanoid creatures aren’t aware that you were trying to trick them unless you get a critical failure on your roll.

Trained in New Skill: Thievery +6

General Feat:

Continual Recovery: You zealously monitor a patient's progress to administer treatment faster. When you Treat Wounds, your patient becomes immune for only 10 minutes instead of 1 hour. This applies only to your Treat Wounds activities, not any other the patient receives.

... And Pathbuilder informed me that I was missing a skill, so I took Stealth (+6)

I'll be working on Cerrus' level up today.

@Delta Arena: do we have any leftover XP after hitting level 3?

@Netkin: Oh, I'll love Continual Recover! :)

@Ardoinel: Runesmith makes a lot of sense! Out of curiosity, what role(s) are you planning to fulfill? Melee?

Hooray for the level up! Here are my choices for Ellaeaanda’s Level 3.

Skill Increase: Expert in Medicine
Ancestry Paragon: Nimble Elf (+5’ speed)
General Feat: Assurance in Medicine
Skillful Lesson: Continual Recovery

She also gains Keen Recollection (untrained skill checks to Recall Knowledge get a proficiency bonus equal to her level, instead of +0) as a class feature.

Her profile and Pathbuilder sheet should be up to date now.

Awesome, I have updated Netkin and Ellaeaanda's character sheets. Seems like you guys are set to never buy healing items between Netkin's vials and the two continual recoveries.

@Cerrus, a few, you have 31xp left according to my math.
Can anyone double check that if anyone else is keeping track of XP?
