Have all of you played RotRL before? If so, how far did you get in the story? Just curios if/when this is new immersion for anyone.
I've played through the first and part of the second book. I also own it and have tried running it myself a few times.
That said, I try my best not to act on what I know.
I've gotten in to the game once before. We didn't get this far.
I’ve tried before. Had one I came into as a replacement that died soon after. Another one that died around the initial combat with goblins. One that got to, uh, book three I think? Level 8-ish. I think that one started as two tables that got consolidated after both lost players, it felt kind of disjointed. I find that every GM runs things a little bit different, and I never play the same character twice. Was an alchemist in the one that got farthest. Between new GM, new character, new party, and just the years that have passed since I played before, it’s practically a new campaign every time. (Though you can’t hang around the Paizo boards for a decade without picking up the basics of the RotR storyline by osmosis.)
GM, I asked this in the Discord, but figured I'd put it here, too.
Would Tot be able to tell that Ari cast a spell on the red goblin? For that matter, would she be able to tell if it worked? Asking since it looks like Tot could charge red and attack, but could only run up to orange.
The Daze spell description says "This spell clouds the mind of a humanoid creature with 4 or fewer Hit Dice so that it takes no actions. Humanoids of 5 or more HD are not affected. A dazed subject is not stunned, so attackers get no special advantage against it."
If the goblin had started moving or something that might be visible. But the spell doesn't have any visible effect.
Just my 2 CP worth....
Well, that'd be the first goblin she sees.
Sorry Ari.

I tend to agree with this take.
No Tot. Red has the highest initiative. He acts first in the regular combat round. If he fails his save, or dies, he doesn't. All good.
Ari cast it at him because he's the only one in his line of sight. Next round he'll move in and see the rest. Might panic....
I’m at work right now, but I’ll try to get a post in by the end of the day. (Helping a friend from my in-person group move tonight though, so it might be late. May try to post from mobile during next break, though I don’t usually like doing that for combat.)
Garen, you didn’t take the Scion of Humanity alternate racial trait, did you? Human Paladin FCB is +1 to a selection of energy resistances. Maybe Garen should consider fire. Alternatively, if you’re planning on taking the Angelic Flesh (Brazen) feat or levels in the Crimson Templar PrC later, you can get fire resistance that way.
Will wait for your post to keep the round moving. I may make your attack for you tomorrow if you don't get to it but hope you do.
Apologies I have been busy with stuff around the house and have not had the energy to post.
Yep. Ari will search for anything dangerous, and try to get out of the way if there's fighting.
As long as Tot's healed enough. Otherwise, put her in the back.
Ari would certainly agree.... but Tot won't.
Hey all, I wanted to apologize for being absent the past few days. I've been working on getting some things done around the house that have been sitting around not getting done, and that's been eating into my free time and energy. The bad news is that this is probably going to be the state of things for a little while, especially since there may be some changes coming up that will require a lot more focus and energy from me for a little while.
That said, I'll do my best to catch up and be as active as I can. All I ask is that y'all be patient with me.

No worries. Take care of yourself and your things in RL. We will be here when you get a few moments to escape.
Please be advised that I will be traveling this weekend (tomorrow through Monday evening) and may have limited access to posting during that time.
My brother-in-law would reply "Ack". Network geek-speak for "Acknowledged".
Don't forget to post your level 2 changes here. I am bit worried about Tot's player. And with Zorlen not returning, do you want to go fish for someone else?

Given my own slowdown recently, I'm reluctant to abandon Tot, but I don't see harm in seeing if one other person wants to join in to replace Zorlen.
It might have to wait till the weekend before I can get to reviewing and processing level up changes. I was voluntold to take on an interim job this week for the near term, and its created a significant time sink. Apologies for being slow to post or respond for a bit.

Hello! I'm still alive! Apologies for the long absence, but I have some good news. I have a new job that's much closer to home that I will be starting on July 14th. Hopefully I'll be able to catch up not long after that and Tot will be back in business! Thank you for patience and I hope to be active again soon!
Whew. Welcome back, we were worried about you.

You can level up to 2 when you get back. Glad you are returning
Woot!
And sorry for making y'all worry.
Yay! Tot's back!!!
Tomorrow afternoon I will be on the road to visit family for 3 nights and some change. I won't be posting much
On the loot tracker it says the sale price for the gold dust is 120gp and the silver is 40gp but it has our split as 20gp and 5gp respectively. Since there are only five of us should it not be 24gp and 8gp or is there a tax I am not accounting for?
The "20gp each" (for example) means per bag, not per party member. if you sell it, it will be split equally on the Cash page -- unless you direct differently.
Before anything is sold, does anyone want to claim anything?
Ari claimed the MW thieve's tools.... Cost 100 GP, sale value 50 so that's my share.
I don't think we should sell the potion of CLW.
composite shortbow
20 arrows
mwk flute
silver earrings

If someone wants something that can improve the power of the group I have no issues with just taking it. I usually don't even bother trying to keep track between players. Just try to give items where they are needed.
My 2 cents:
>Ptn CLW: anyone could carry it though Tot is the most likely to use it
>Comp Shortbow: Garen uses a sling so he gets STR bonus. with a base bow it's not worth it to me. I suspect most of the frontline is in that boat. It's too big for Izzy so if Ari wants it, have at it.
>MW flute: Izzy
>silver earrings: sell or buy from group. They give no advantage to the group so I think the value should be split.
I have a "Distribution" page on the loot tracker just in case equity in splits matters. For most groups, utility matters more. Izzy's player is away for a bit, but a mwk instrument is an advantage. I will hold it for her.
LMK about the rest.
Sell the bow then. It's a martial weapon. Ari can't use it.
And sell the earrings. They are no advantage to the group.
And Tot can carry the potion in case she needs it.

Will move this direction. Thanks for the guidance. Updated the Loot Tracker to sell all the remaining items. Moved the CLW potion to Tot. Rounded up, so there are 45gp distributed to each PC.
LMK if you want to buy anything while at Savah's.
I think you start with Tot as GM-PC for now.
Okay. I am finally back. Will try to catch up tomorrow.
