When I say redemption, I mean turning something from Not Good to Good Aligned.
Paizo has said, multiple times that there are no Good Drow in Golarion, and that that is one of the features of the setting that is meant to separate it from other settings like Golarion. Non-Evil (Neutral) Drow are also supposed to be extremely rare, but possible. Just to be clear, this is not an idea I actually use myself, I'm simply pointing out that it is a retcon of some sort, that sort of invalidates Second Darkness and other material.
The new version of the organization feels a bit watered down, in my opinion. You are welcome to your opinion, though. :P
Poog thinks about taking another swing at the fake-goblin-who-writes-words but instead goes for Lord Longtongue, stepping over to strike at the juicy-looking tongue itself and then adding a small bite.
Dogslicer vs Lord Longtongue:1d20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9 Damage:1d4 ⇒ 2
I'll delay until after Mog throws his bomb, hoping to, (very bloody unlikely) be a kill-stealer as I rush her with my mighty(ish) not-at-all-super "Dogslicer".
Before heading in, I'll call on my dark deity to heal my wounds, leaving savage battle scars to backup the legendary story of how Poog and his Goblin warriors devastated the dreaded horse beast.
CLW:1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
Inside, having finally tracked the fiendish traitor Vorka, thief of POOG'S firemaker-blaster rods, I'll call on his and his deity's wrath, and draw blades, leaving no room for mercy.
Circling around to, um um, "make an effort" to not hit any of the other goblins, Poog will snarl a cruel goblin prayer song, and unleash the full might of his profane flame.
Angry that his divinely gifted fire failed so horribly, Poog will try it again, first taking out his anger on the ground itself, kicking at some twigs to kindle his wrath, then sending another Firebolt flying at the spider.
Reacting so slowly, Poog begins to call on the flames, taking a few moments to summon a small matchstick's worth to his greasy little palm, the winds up, rather ungracefully, and hurls it at the spider.
Hey everyone. The DM got called out to the field for work, and it's unclear how often he will be able to post. He asked me to sub for him for a little bit. I wasn't sure when he was out, so I'm guessing now since he has not responded. Let me reread the scenario (I've ran it before), and I'll get it going again so we can make the game day. This also means my character will be taking a back seat until he is back.
Watching the specticle of the ither goblins trying to steal his glory, Poog watchs from a distance before running straight to and hurling himself very ungracefully into the pit, screaming something about the goblin fire god demanding a good riding show.
Calling on his divine powers to speak with animals, though only a goblin would see speaking to a pig as a show of divine power, "Tremble befores my might, and act a good ridin' wold, or you die.!" then leaping on the beast's back, he. . .
Me knew chief when this fool dies, Poog thinks, and I burn this hut to the ground, too. Still,, taking a moment to look around at the others, I need minions for me rule.
"I great Poog." giving the assembled ragtags inadequate time to bask in his gobleswomness, "and Chief say you follows me on secret-secret mission. Secret-secret mission that make Zarongel very happy, and Poog a hero", and to add a bit of oomph to his proclamation, begins to draw heat from the air, causing a small ball of flame to appear in his hand, and launches it at a small bird that flies by, exploding in the air and sending tiny feathers raining down, Oh, have to say something special about them too, yes.". . . make us and Poog heroes. Legends even. Talls write stories of us, and it be fun. Plus, talls stupid, and writing Poog, urr,. . . our legend make talls have bad luck!"

Joliryn climbs down from the balcony and approaches the wizard's body. She gives it a swift kick in the ribs before turning to the new team.
"I see no reason to let a perfectly good meal go to waste. Now that I am free of the thrice bedamned tapestry, I have a feeling I may be in need of strong allies. Those I can trust to watch my back and perhaps teach me what I need to know of this place."
I've lost track. If, being healed so quickly allows me to drink the potion last round, I'll do that and try for another breath weapon, moving into position to avoid hitting anyone else. If I couldn't last round, then I'll do my above action now, instead, drinking and healing up.
Breath weapon Acid (Refl 15 half):4d6 ⇒ (4, 4, 4, 5) = 17 Until next time:14 = 14
Ok, not a problem. I do have another potion I was going to drink, (my intention was not to hand over a nearly dead dragon character), but I did want to give you the option as you did let me ditch that God-awful 322.I have a feeling that this might be the end, but if you ever change your mind, let me know and I'll swap.
As soon as the dragon is back up thanks to the very well times potion, he will reach into his belt pouch (?!?!?) and draw and drink his own potion of Cure Serious Wounds.
Thanks for the healing. I didn't realize how ineffective my actions had been or I would have done something different. My own fault. But, like I mentioned earlier, I'm perfectly willing to share the wealth, if you want to take over the dragon I could swap out for Rataji.
Falling back some, I'll instead unleash a blast of my other natural weapon, then staying aloft as much and high as possible to avoid being too close to my other allies.
Dang it. I see my mistake. My intent was to move and the Ready an Action to attack if he began to cast spells, but I made a mistake and labelled them "AoOs".
Flying around the long way, Gazwyr flies in a wide arc to come in close once more with the little mage, this time simply landing near and smirking cruelly, awaiting his next moment of concentration before striking.
The Dragon is pissed, turning in the air to go after the true mage who refuses to bow down like he should, gets closer and holds back, getting close enough to use claws and hoping against hope that he attempts to step back into bite range so I can have a bit of a snack soon.
Fly vs unclear DC:1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16
AoO vs attempt to cast a spell:
I threaten both 5ft (claws) and 10ft (bite) so I rolled for each just in case it matters. Claw:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21 Damage:1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
or
Bite:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23 Damage:1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Just wanted to say thanks. I really was hating 322. If you'd like, I'm perfectly willing to switch out the dragon for Rataji with you, say after each fight.
"Who is this fool?!?!? Can you not see the great Gazwyr has come. Bend a knee in worship." as this new man appears, but unfortunately he utters an insult, referring to a dragon as "simpleton", causing the divine creature to rush in for a snack.
I'd love to because I am outright detesting playing 322. I really can not think of a worse pregen I've ever seen, and while I liked some of the theme and story, in play I really just want to kill him (her) and play an NPC class.
I'll walk up once I see the door open, and try to feign a bit of embarrassment, "My apologies. It's simply my familiar. We, . . . encounter a few of those Aspis bastards and one of them did something to her. Now, she's invisible and it doesn't seem to be wearing off."
Marny will continue his assault on our enemies, taking a brief moment to study the two other enemies before firing at the northern most reptile (arrows on map), while 322 attempts to cast a cursed spell from a defensive stance, steps closer to his target and attempts to unleash the dark power.
Marnarius quickly grabs his weapon of choice, knocking an arrow as he takes a step closer and lines up a shot at the lizard beast closest to Joliryn. Not yet. . . he thinks. Not yeeetttt. . . and at just the right moment, looses his arrow, and without thinking, draws and fires off a second one.

Trying to cling to the shadows and darkness, I'll (with the team) begin to advance closer towards the staff and the lizards.
"I wonder how much damage we could cause if they where to tumble down? Let's get what we came for, see if we can do a little extra damage, and get going."
So, right now, where are we all in relation to each other. I know we have split off a few times into different groups, maybe we all rejoined to enter Skyreach?
Sorry, I didn't know you where waiting on me. I guess my last post didn't do the final update like I had intended. Basically, I was going to say that if the Climb Check failed, I'd use one of my intervals of flight to get up there instead.
Hey all. I've been trying to get back to all of my games, and it's a slow process. I have arrived at my final destination, and been in processing and getting to know the place and everything. Right now, I do not have internet, and it will be a little while before I can afford to get that set up, so am using the free internet on base. Unfortunately, that means I have to walk a ways to get there, and I am limited in when I can use it. But, I am trying to get things back rolling.
Just wanted to give the final heads up. I'll be leaving for deployment now in under 24 hours. I'm going to try to get another post in before hand, but between the weather and final packing, I may not be able to. I expect to be away for 1-7 days, but realistically, I expect to be back more after 2 to 3 days.
Please feel free to run my character, either the DM or the other players, so I do not hold anything up.
No worries. I spoke with Jesse, not about this game specifically, (it seems there are a lot of folks that didn't realize there was a deadline), but I have not heard back yet. He was working on doing a PSA about the site being down, when ironically, the site went down and eat his large post.
Walking over to the nearby zoo keepers, I'll try to strike up a conversation, asking basic questions about one of the beasts in the opposite direction, looking for details about it's capture that I really don't care about at all while Marnarius attempts his deed.
