Is combat over or are we still in rounds?
Combat is over.
Hey all! I do apologize on my absence. I had a work thing come up and then the weekend. I will be catching back up today/tomorrow. Again, I apologize about that.
Just posted.
I know I just acted, but where are we at in the combat initiative?
I know I just acted, but where are we at in the combat initiative?
No, still in Surprise round. I'm waiting on the other actors to make their attacks. If they don't tomorrow, then I'll roll initiatives on Monday.

IS there anyone I need to bot?
Looks like everyone but Lara acted. ?
I think Lara quit.

I rolled initiative for everyone in the game. I think we have an accord to proceed.

Thank you for the invite, Eltonj, but I've decided that this game is not for me. Please remove Pak from the campaign. Good luck to everyone in your future adventures!
Can we do a check in to make sure all are still good? I know I am still game.
Azig - Investigator
Daranil - Arcanist
Neghed - Barbarian
Thoric - Cleric
Still good. Worried about very early attrition....
Agreed, but with four it could be possible... These four have been active.

Sorry guys, but I also am bowing out. I don't feel this is the right fit for me either. I do wish you folks the best and have fun.
Hi everyone! Glad to be stepping into this game, and I hope we can restore the momentum with the new blood. Karinna is a junior member of the Korvosan Guard, so I assume that will have something to do with her arrival on the scene. Or maybe we've all been casing the joint separately and happened to initiate our Lamm attacks at the same time? :)
Welcome Karinna, Lem & Bridgette! Glad to have you with us.
Hello
Happy to join in.
Bony has a lot of bones to pick with a Mr Gaedren Lamm....
And many bones will be picked! And then carefully removed and arranged in a tasteful diagram.
When I say she has a LOT of bones to pick with him (personal and disgust at his actions of suffering on others).
As she does with a fair number of personal bones to pick with him;
* Paided someone to Murderered her father which made her an orphan on the streets for a bit.
* He took her in for a sometime making her a bit of a con artist before being betraying and using her as a scape goat for a heist.
* Hurt the family that took her in.
Oh right, before I forget, what are the Lighting conditions currently (i.e time of day and if the sun it up or down), as BONY has a bit of a disability under certain lighting conditions.....
As she's inherited her mother's eyes.
Karinna is investigating Gaedren Lamm in her role as a member of the Korvosan guard, hoping to find clues as to the whereabouts of her old friend and mentor, Cardoña-- Lamm recently sold a ring that once belonged to Cardoña to a local jeweler. Karinna has also heard complaints about local children going missing, presumably kidnapped by Lamm. She's well-known in this part of the city (the Midlands district) as a minor noblewoman serving in the guard, and she is considered charismatic and competent by those who have interacted with her. (She has the Renown social talent, which means people in the area are one category friendlier with her by default.)

Sun is down.

BONY's father was Timofey Yakov, a trusted and reliable Ulfen merchant with lots of good connections, but also had a number of rivals and once who wanted to use his caravan networks and Gaedren Lamm was one of them.
BONY's father was murdered when she was 8, which would of been 16 years ago and who knows could of been a good supplier and customer for house Fordyce.Currently BONY works as a barmaid and performer.
As for BONY's future, well that'll depend on a few things, if she goes GFK, Karinna won't be the only one with 2 identities.

Perfect, she won't need her blind-fold.
For the map I Know there is a way to make a Google drive map that can be updated by the players.
Also which room is everyone in and which way did the group enter from, as I can see multiple entry points on the fishery.
As for the players that dropped, how are is it gonna be handled story wise.....while bringing in the new recruits...
As I kinda want to do a logical yet theatric entrance...
-----------------------------
Seems the new cleric is missing.....

@Karinna
Our two characters could know each other, as bars/taverns are a good source of info and rumours for your more hidden actions.
Also Merchants and nobles would kinda know each other.
Even though BONY's father is dead the name of the Yakov merchant company would been well known before it's collapse a month after his death.
Could of heard a rumour of BONY's father having been murdered, and the Yakov company could of been the ticket for Karinna's father and uncle to of escaped.

I'm going to kill them off. Quick and painless.

If he doesn't show up, I'll ask the paladin in join in, instead.
Thanks for adding me. I don't get on the boards on weekends; if that's a dealbreaker I can withdraw.
Otherwise, I'll switch him from Inflict/negative channeling to Heal/positive channeling since you noted he was brought on for healing and finish up his gear.
Welcome aboard

The new 3 might as well all know each other. Lem's the kind of guy who hangs around bars looking for card or dice games and he's very chatty and makes lots of friends. He could easily know a tavern girl and an investigator.
For BONY, easy in from hanging out at her bar.
For Karinna, he hates Lamm because Lamm got his best friend thrown in jail for a murder he didn't commit. Lem could have gone to Karinna for help with that but even if he did it's likely he already knew her socially just because he likes to meet people.

Okay, that's fine. As long as you post regularly during the week. And thanks for the heads up.

Yep.

Well, it is not BONY's tavern, the Dragon's Horde, is her adoptive family's tavern.
She works there, and is an oddity, as she's a Ulfen Half-elf of 6'7"that and during certain hours she tends to wear a blind fold over her eyes beautiful eyes.
BONY's father was murdered about 16 years ago by order/payment from Gaedren Lamm.

Fair enough. As long as she works there she'd know Lem. Also, Lem would have been telling everybody and anybody about his buddy Mat who's been totally set up and is innocent, so if she'd be interested in anyone seeking justice for a loved one Lem is definitely in there.
Also also, it will be really funny to introduce an NBA player along with a guy who's about the same size as a human toddler.
If Bridgette gains the ability to cast a cantrip, maybe you could find Penumbra. Rare cantrip so not standard or available for everyone.
Rogue talent lets you cast cantrips as SLA, and Bookish Rogue feat lets you trade out the cantrip by studying a spellbook.
Karinna could certainly hang out at the same tavern Lem and Bridgette inhabit. That seems like an easy way for us to know each other, and to at least be aware that we all have an ax to grind with Lamm. Is it possible that we also know one or more of the other characters? Are we coming in as independent expeditions, or maybe as backup? Could we have been nearby and heard a ruckus?

Oh....
Nice....I didn't know this existed, was gonna go with getting a pair of "Lenses of Darkness" to handle her light issue.
Along with her Darkness / Deeper Darkness SLA to handle moving about using a Blind Fight feat tree.
If she's blind, your gonna be blind, but the difference is gonna be the experience in being blind.
That and she'd be a walking field of Darkness, that no guard or crook can see in the night before it is too late.

If Azig is an Investigator that seems like a good way for Karinna to know him professionally. Lem could also have gone to see him about getting evidence to get his friend out of jail, which would also let Azig know Lem has beef with Lamm.
DM, Lem's gear is all purchased and the sheet is ready to go.

Alrighty. You can start posting at any time.
Hey Bridgette just wanted to let you know that you rolled a D2 for initiative. You did get max but you may want to reroll that one. Current initiative
Initiative: Round 1
Thoric 18
Thugs 10
Azig 8
Daranil 7
Bridgette ?
Lem ?
Karinna ?
Thanks, I didn't notice I rolled a d2 instead of a d20.
Sorry for the delayed posts. I lost track of when it was my turn.
Would we be able to get a full list of initiative at the top of the next round?
I do believe we are still in the first round. Everyone has acted, I was just waiting to see who all hit/missed before jumping back to the top.
Initiative
Thoric 18
Karinna 14
Bridgette 11

There is a Us vs Them Initiative that simplifies combat and make things run much faster for PBP games.
Players are one group,
Enemy factions are their own groups.
Each group takes the Highest Initiative rolled in the group.
Players can act in any order as long as it is the player group's turn.
so no waiting on one player to post, before other players can go.

Sounds good.
Well, it it helps, Joshua is more of the motif. The soul of it may or may not comply to your request.
Wow that was creepy.
Cool!
LOL! Confusion is a fun spell.... Do I roll for it or will you direct me?
I do have one issue with the rolls. 51-75 says "Deal 1d8 points of damage + Str modifier to self with item in hand" I don't have anything that will deal 1d8 of damage. I think I have my rapier in hand, but it does 1d4 -1 STR....

I'd like you to roll for it. Oh, feel free to make up a hallucination that you experience. The drug is not shiver, but an extract made from magic mushrooms.
If you get that range, though, you just do one point of subdual damage to your self.
I just want to point out that Karinna has been stationed by the door and was specifically watching for Lamm. I also said that she opened the door once everyone was ready, though presumably Lamm came in while we were still preparing. Still, wouldn't Karinna at least get to roll initiative before he moves away again?

Exactly, yes. She also gets an attack of opportunity.
Just checking in. Are we still waiting for people for surprise round? Hope all is well.
