Fellorian's page

Fellorian pauses on her way to do just that, nods in acknowledgement to Celebrindal, and heads out into the surrounding forest.

Stealth: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (2) + 23 = 25.
Perception: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (2) + 17 = 19.

Edit:
Wow...RNG hates me today..

Fellorian suffers no penalties to moving at full speed an maintaining stealth. So she will be moving at full speed, ranging forward to scout and falling back to report as the group moves forward.

The forester can make a Stealth skill check with no penalty even when moving at full speed, so long as she is not observed and is wearing no armor or light armor.

Scout Team: Fellorian on left front, Adrienne on the right, ranging from 30 to 500 feet ahead of the main group.

For Fellorian:

What is the elven equivalent of Brah?

Really?

Fellorian will wait for the order to move out and ignore the idiocy of certain other elves.

Fellorian prepares her gear for the day ahead, then simply waits patiently for the others to be ready.

When the Malkythel leave, she gives them a respectful salute.

Maybe that is exactly what she is doing. Revealing her backstory by her reactions to current happenings...

What is the problem with contaminating the enemy's food/water? That is a pretty standard guerrilla tactic...

Question for all: How would you like for me to run combat? Use Roll20? or just dialogue? Perhaps a better idea comes to mind?

I like to use Roll20 for my pathfinder games.

You posted this in discussion.

Elf Champ .. to answer an old question of yours:

To deactivate the old campaign threads, do these steps:

1) Click Here to go to the campaign page for the Kingmaker, The Elves are Coming! thread.

2) On the left side of the screen, click the Edit this campaign link.

3) Directly under the field displaying the campaign name, put a checkmark in the This campaign is no longer active checkbox.

You can repeat this with any other threads you wish to close, such as the one you used for recruitment, by clocking on the name of the campaign as step one.

As I have been recently advised by people from Paizo, when I told applicants for a PbP I am setting up that I would share the player's guide with them, even though it is free, you are not allowed to distribute it. Anyone can download it for free "here".

For the sake of good relationships with Paizo, no one should redistribute it to anyone else.

Fellorian simply waits quietly.

used in this manner, in association with a meal, "tuck in" does not refer to sleep. It refers to eating the meal in front of you with enthusiasm.

phrasal verb of tuck

1.
informal
eat food heartily.
"I tucked into the bacon and scrambled eggs"

Fellorian nods her thanks to Claeledar, and tucks in.

Mine are listed in my profile under the spells spoiler.

Fellorian rises, and though she can hear the soft sounds of the others outside, she takes time to prepare her spells for the day.

She emerges from the shelter quietly and joins the others for breakfast, nodding a morning greeting but otherwise remaining silent.

CON: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9.

Fellorian shakes her head in disbelief, then goes in to one of the empty shelters, tucking in for sleep immediately.

Fellorian smiles in welcome to the newcomers now that the sign and countersign have been satisfied before turning her attention back to the surrounding forest, still on guard, still with an arrow nocked and ready.

Fellorian advances to Adrienne's left, though still within sight of the other elf. Alert for danger, Fellorian's primary concern is finding shelter from the coming storm.

Stealth: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (15) + 23 = 38.
Knowledge(Geography): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11.
Survival: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30.
Perception: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (20) + 17 = 37.

No problem, ElfChamp. I had to be told where it was too. It was just so long ago now that I didn't even think of it until I saw the url you posted.

The one thing I will say about formatting is this: Do not use the [dice='nameofroll'] tags that they suggest. If you do, and someone replies to your roll with dice rolls in their reply it does weird stuff...

I always use the following:

[ooc]'name of roll': [dice]

(of course, remember to add the appropriate end tags)

Fellorian steps inside the treeline, "Cover them. I will delve a little deeper. I will not be out of sight." She moves fifteen to thirty feet into the trees, as long as she can keep a view of Adrienne. There she looks around for any threats to their small band.

Perception: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (11) + 17 = 28.
Stealth: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (5) + 23 = 28.

At the bottom of the field into which you type your posts, there is a thing that says :

How to format your text

And it has a button marked 'show'

If you click the button it will give you instructions for how to format your text using Bold text, Out Of Character comments, Italicized text, and other types of useful things.

"We should have some advance and some stay here to cover us. We can cover the others once we have made sure we are safe in the other trees." Fellorian beckons to Adrienne, then springs up out of her position and sprints for the trees some 500 feet away trading speed for stealth.

Fellorian turns to Celebrindal and speaks quietly, "I see no signs of danger aside from the approaching storm. Expect temperatures almost freezing and either snow or rain in two hours or less. We do not want to be in the open when it hits. I suggest that we cross to the forest over there and search for or make shelter .. and quickly."

Does my survival check of 26 give me any information regarding the approaching storm?

Okay .. I reposted Fellorian's action in the new thread ..

Fellorian readies her bow, laying an arrow on its string before stepping into the center of the room.

***

As soon as they appear Fellorian looks around swiftly, assessing their situation.

Perception: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (10) + 17 = 27.

If there is no danger, she moves to the eastern edge of the stand of trees, blending in with the surroundings instinctively. There she pauses again to examine the wilderness carefully, as well as trying to gauge how close the storm is.

Stealth: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (2) + 23 = 25.
Perception: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (4) + 17 = 21.
Survival: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26.

I am not entirely sure what you mean by 'until you folks develop a better grasp of how things roll'.

I personally would vote for option 3. I, personally, am having fun so far. All of Fellorian's reactions have been only hers.

EDIT: Test PM sent...

Adrienne, this site does, indeed, have a PM system. At the very top of the screen there is a little envelope thingy next to your username.

Also, if you go to anyone's profile (or any character's profile), there is a link to send them a private message.

Fellorian simply stands there waiting for the Captain to lead the way, expressing neither approval nor disapproval of Adrienne's words.

Fellorian spends almost 90 minutes carefully packing and inventorying her equipment. She shakes her head in frustration at the strange reluctance of the Helmsman to give her basic equipment as she takes note of the cavernous empty space inside the handy haversack once she is done packing. With a sigh, she hefts all five pounds of her pack, settles her weapons, and heads to the briefing room.

I will take care of getting my gear divided up and tallied today. Sorry for the slowness.

That feat looks pretty awesome. I will take a closer look at it...

It occurs to me that the Wardens of the Wild book may have a different text for Dragon Magic than the one I am reading. I am using the Dragon Magic trait from the d20pfsrd website. It reads as follows:

Some elves have potent draconic blood. Elves with this racial trait who take a draconic bloodline as a class feature treat their Charisma scores as 2 points higher when determining the DC and uses per day of all bloodline abilities and bloodline spells. Additionally, elves with this trait add spells with the draconic descriptor to their class spell lists for any spellcasting classes in which they have levels.

Obviously with no levels in sorcerer, the first part of that does me no good and is not even being factored into my choice. The second part of it, which is not dependent on a bloodline, is why I am taking it.

The main reason for the Dragon Magic trait is that it adds all the 'draconic' descriptor spells to your class spell list.

It is replacing the Magic in the Blood trait which, in my opinion, is not worth having; a +1 to one spell DC one time per day? No thanks. Since I am planning on having her focus on buffing spells or spells that do not allow saving throws or spell resistance, Dragon Magic is still better than Elven Magic.

She is focused primarily as a sneaky archer with some magic. For that role it seems to me that a higher constitution is more important that a high charisma.

Where do you find Sorcerous Guile? If it is from that book about elves, can you put the full text of the feat in here? If it is good enough to supplant Precise Shot, it may also be worth switching her attributes.

LOL .. I was also back in San Jose for about a week in February...

I went to high school in San Jose, and I was stationed in Colorado Springs for four years, and my in-laws live in Columbus.

It is a small country here.

Fellorian bows to the Helmsman, gathers the shock arrows along with the allowed monstrous humanoid bane arrows, and departs.

Wisconsin, USA

Actually the pork with rice was pretty bad, the noodles with tomato sauce were eatable. But the true gem were the cookies. A cookie a day keeps shi tt ing away. Just when you returned... it was painful as you got it out.

Problem with survival is, it reduces you to half speed. Not really stealthy... not really fast.

Repeating this for emphasis: The problem with relying on survival is that it slows you down just as much as, if not more than, a medium load does, and is not particularly stealthy.

I am pretty sure that the concept that I and the others were trying to accomplish is not to carry a half ton of equipment all-day-every-day, but to take more than we would carry on a daily basis and create hidden equipment and supply caches in strategic fallback/re-supply positions. Then move around fast a quiet with only a light load.

If they do not want to let us do that, then fine, we will adapt and overcome. But that is a pretty typical strategy for guerrilla forces to use.

{GM NOTE: Let's keep the OOC chat in the thread that I have set up. I'd love to see everyone chat up about their military days, just not on this thread.]

[Back to in-game story flow]

@Fellorian: The seasoned elf loosens up a bit. "Well, in that case, just remember that your actions will save the lives of other elves. Even you will not receive any open praise or festivals in your honor, your work is essential to our survival. Though Kyonin and the elven people are safe, this could change tomorrow or next week, when some evil beings seek to have our ears for lunch. We, the Elonarlry, do the dirty work that many of our kin would not, nor could not, perform. That is why you are here."

He stands up and heads to a nearby door that appears like a portal. "So, you want 160 total arrows? Don't know how you are going to carry all those, considering that your special quiver holds 60. We do have all the arrow types you need, perhaps the others in your team should come down soon. I don't think anyone else was equipped with ammunition either. But you start with 60. The lightning javelins are all out however." He scratches his pointy chin for a moment. "Well, there MIGHT be a way to carry the amount of arrows you ask for..."

The discussion thread is not linked to the campaign. So anytime we might want to use it we have to go back to try and find it again. Can you please link it to the campaign?

"Well, the idea wass to take more arrows than I will be carrying at any given time, and to conceal them in supply caches or at a base camp location to cut down on the need for resupply from Kyonin. But if you have another way that would be handy as well."

The Helmsman barely looks up from his book. "You can build a shelter from the natural materials out there. Sure, it will take time, but it will be easier to create one to your specifications than relying on a tent. A journal is easy, as is the soap and seasonings. The higher ups will give you intel such as maps and the like later on in a briefing that will no doubt occur soon. In regards to arrows, we have pretty much everything you could ask for and plenty of it, with Slaying arrows being the one exception. You can mix them up or have all arrows be of one type. I suggest the former, as you could run into all sorts of things out there. How yo do it is up to you."

He stops reading and gives you a sideward look. "As for why you are here, that is your decision and none other. In a way, you should not be asking this now that you have joined us." He said this in a tone that was a bit cold and condescending. "It is good to ask questions, as we don't allow mindless followers in our ranks, but keep your focus up at all times, ESPECIALLY before a mission."

She looks at the Helmsman quizzically, speaking in a respectful voice, "Helmsman, I think you have misunderstood me. I do not question why I am here or why I do what I do. There has never been any question or doubt of the kind. I simply find that it is easier to maintain my focus with small reminders of home."

She shrugs lightly, "Anyway, I would like to take 60 sturdy arrows, 40 human bane, 40 animal bane, and 20 monsterous humanoid bane. If they are available I would also like to take three javelins of lightning."

Hey ElfChampion, can you link, or create or whatever, the discussion page? Thanks.

For everybody else, I am definitely having fun with this so far. :)

Fellorian stands, "You want my opinion? You want it voiced here, now? Very well. Celebrindal, perhaps while you are telling me how to be an effective archer in combat, you can show me which end of an arrow to hold." She picks up her dishes to return them to the kitchen, speaking over her shoulder as she walks away, "I mean, honestly! And what, in the name of Ketephys, do political favors have to do with the fact that Adrienne and I were exchanging private words?" Fellorian deposits her dishes in the appropriate places, and as she heads toward the door of the dining hall, she speaks once more, "You are making about as good an impression as Goinin made, Celebrindal. I will see you at the Moondrake Courtyard tonight."

Fellorian leans a little closer to Adrienne and speaks quietly, intended for her ears alone, "Are we the Emerald Drama team, or the Emerald Lightning?"

<Fellorian, let's roleplay here, starting with the visit to the Helmsman.>

When you enter the quartermasters, you immediately notice that this large underground complex is elaborate. Lighting is done by magical lights mounted on the walls with luminescent lanterns that hover in circular motions. The stonework is excellent, suggesting that it was done either by Dwarves or by the best Elven masons around. When you approach a long counter, you notice that there are no cages or iron bars. Sitting behind the counter to your left is an aged elf with his back to the wall reading a book. Without looking up, the Helmsman speaks. "Well? What do you wish to acquire today, youngling?"

:)

Fellorian bows with respect to the older elf, saluting with her hand pressed to her heart, "Honored Helmsman, I am to be deployed far from Kyonin, and I wish to acquire a few items that will make my time there safer, and a little easier. And though it is not strictly necessary, to also provide me with a reminder of why I am there."

She rises from her bow, and smiles at the venerable Helmsman, "A tree tent to provide some shelter from weather, as well as an oft-overlooked refuge. I would like to exchange my arrows for an equal number of those wonderful, sturdy ones you have, as resupply will be spotty at best. Several seasoning packets for trail stew, to help bring a bit of Kyonin with me. A journal book to record notes about our mission. A block of soap for obvious reasons; preferably scented with plants natural to the Stolen Lands south of Brevoy."

She pauses, thinking, then turns her eyes back to him, "Is there anything else I should be taking? Anything that you have found to be useful on missions such as this one?"

Fellorian takes a brief detour in the early part of the day, after the others are done arguing about who would lead, and visits Helmsman Cyathan Nissyen. After requisitioning a few bits of equipment and trading in her arrows for the more durable variety, she spends the rest of the morning practicing archery in the windy conditions.

***

Hungry after the morning's activity, and with all her packing finished, Fellorian relaxes in the dining hall with a plate of warm and delicious food before her.

Fellorian simply retreats to her quarters, turning in early.

***

The next morning, she dispassionately watches the exchange between Celebrindal and Estancia as she calmly eats her breakfast. With one exception, I do not particularly care who leads at the beginning. None of us have experience leading others in a combat situation...
