@Jastheriga - Yes to both role play and preferring to avoid the armor penalty. The dragonhide armor I wear is a sense of pride, sort of a trophy showing off his success at killing "dragons". Take the bow. Likewise, mine is adaptive to take advantage of strength bonus, and that one only has a +2 strength.
+2 prot from evil = 14
nothing I'm too worried about keeping for myself. Agreed with Jastheriga: I will accept the dragon slaying arrow and 5x dragon bane arrows. Everything else can be added to the "sell and split" pile as far as I'm concerned.
is there a link to a map? the one on GM's profile is linked to a "we be goblins" map. The only map at the top of the page is a continent map.
"Perhaps we start simple. Does anyone have any 1st hand information on dragons that may be applicable?" Gavin strokes his chin between his thumb and index finger. "Beyond that, I agree with Wings here, getting us up to speed with what you may have uncovered prior to our arrival could help."
I say... you as the player should play whatever character you feel you would have the most fun with. Either way is fine with me, but I might point out that the DM did select your original character and all of us for a reason and perhaps it might be best to trust in his/her judgement.
Ditto. Just checking in myself. Understood that we just had a holiday weekend, but I'm pushing a week since my last post (waiting for next actions), and just making sure DM doesn't think I'm not checking in daily.
Following behind Bikgar, a human with green dragonscale armor has a bow in hand with an arrow noched. He rapidly scans methodically, aiming up... down... left... right. As he catches up to Bikgar he slowly releases the tension of the bowstring, but keeps the arrow noched. "Aye! Lodge sent us to get a status on your assignment. I believe our fellow pathfinder Bikgar here also means to pass an order issued to a Hans and Ting. If any of you be them, your presence was requested back at the lodge in Cassomir. Y'all been selected for another assignment." Gavin relaxes his stance and replaces the drawn arrow to his quiver. "Names Gavin, as you know the lodge doesn't like to leave much to chance, so they assigned me to accompany our dwarf spell slinger here. I suspect wings here shares the same orders." Gavin takes inventory of the corpses, "Y'all fit or needing any mending? Looks like we missed a tussle here boys." Gavin wipes his free hand on his green scale legging and offers it to the others, "Pardon me manners, name of Gavin. Pleasure to meet you."
dotting in, thanks Baerlie.
Just checking in. glad to be here and can't wait to see what happens!

agreed. hope it doesn't turn out to be a dead campaign before it even really started.
"Magic don't fail me now!" "Facio, Voco, Ferre." Draconic:
"This I do, I call, to bring you forth."
At the end of an intricate arm motion, he flicks his wrist toward the goblin as if tossing a small rock, but instead of a rock, a glob of green goo appears and arcs towards the goblin. [ooc]Cast Acid Splash [spoiler=Acid Splash]Acid Splash School conjuration (creation) [acid]; Level sorcerer/wizard 0
You fire a small orb of acid at the target. You must succeed on a ranged touch attack to hit your target. The orb deals 1d3 points of acid damage. This acid disappears after 1 round.
Gavin sees a goblin out of the corner of his eye and moves away. "Not so fast you little green meanie! After making his way out of "danger", Gavin focuses on whichever goblin seems to have taken the most damage. "Facio, Voco, Ferre." Draconic:
"This I do, I call, to bring you forth." At the end of an intricate arm motion, he flicks his wrist toward the goblin as if tossing a small rock, but instead of a rock, a glob of green goo appears and arcs towards the goblin.

are you taking pre-calc at the same time as calc?
If I'm not mistaking, we are waiting for GM to post?
"You sir! What is the meaning of this? Why are you attacking the festival? I implore you to stand down and decease your hostility."
"I apologize, I'm not an expert when it comes to things involving physical prowess. Tackle him? Bare-fisted uppercut to the jaw? Wrestling? Whatever it takes!" Gavin chuckles softly as he states with sarcasm, "You DO know you're bigger than he is, right?"
"It said a name. This was not a random act of violence. It was an attack planned by someone it referred to as Longshanks. If we, can capture it, maybe we can learn the source of this intended assault."
Gavin's magic missle damage roll: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
After hearing the goblin spit out a specific name, Gavin tries to alter the new "team's" tactics, "Catch him ALIVE, if you can! I'll explain later!"
1 ft = .3048 meters. each square = 5 ft = approx. 1 1/2 meters.
no matter what, here is Gavin's action on his turn: "Looks like there are more of those little buggers causing havoc!" Gavin looks around to make sure all the allies from the previous combat were aware of the new threat. (not that anyone could miss a huge exploding wagon) "No rest for the wicked it would appear. Everyone see the goblins? Let's hope we can de-escalate this group as quickly as we did the 1st." "Incertus, Pulcher, Imperio!" Draconic:
"Uncertain, beautiful things, I command!" Repeating the incantation and quarterstaff strikes to ground exactly as he had previously, another missile of magical energy fires forth and strikes the nearest goblin.
"Human?" Gavin looks confused for a moment. "Oh yes! We have not been properly introduced. My name is Gavin Gossamar, pursuer to mysteries of the arcane. I would very much like the opportunity to get to know you, but current events take priority over socialization."
"Well met heroes, quick and effective quilling of the danger. With the immediate threat dissolved, we should turn attention to the injured." Gavin looks around with a look of shock and despair. "After we tend to these poor individuals, it might be best to seek audience with the town's leadership. Try and discern the cause for this attack, and probably most important, was it a random act or should we be worried about more stacks in the near future."
I apologize if I'm simply missing something, but... most games I play in, the GM typically ends a combat post with something that says who is next to act, or initiative order. Where are we?
apparently my character is min/maxed:
max'd the damage on a magic missile min'd the trip
Gavin spots the closest goblin. A serious, intense look comes over his face. He speaks a few words, "Incertus, Pulcher, Imperio!" Draconic:
"Uncertain, beautiful things, I command!" Followed immediately with stomping his quarterstaff 2 times into the ground. From the ends of Gavins outstretched fingers, a missile of magical energy darts forth. Impacting on the chest of the goblin.
Meta-Magic Toppling:
Toppling Spell (Metamagic)
Your spells with the force descriptor knock the affected creatures prone. Benefit: The impact of your force spell is strong enough to knock the target prone. If the target takes damage, fails its saving throw, or is moved by your force spell, make a trip check against the target, using your caster level plus your casting ability score bonus (Wisdom for clerics, Intelligence for wizards, and so on). This does not provoke an attack of opportunity. If the check fails, the target cannot attempt to trip you or the force effect in response. A toppling spell only affects spells with the force descriptor. A toppling spell uses up a spell slot one level higher than the spell's actual level.
choosing a vacation w/ the girlfriend over gaming... you're a disgrace to geek-dom? (sarcasm)
Have fun, enjoy yourself. We'll try not to get you killed in the meantime.
Goblin 2 can SUCK IT!
Gavin shouts to the crowd, "Everyone! Move quickly this way!" Gavin motions in the opposite direction of the goblin song. "Clear the area! We are in danger!" Looking around to confirm people are scurrying in the right direction, Gavin spies a person he recognizes. He sees Laëlynn attentive and has a bow at the ready. Gavin makes his way to her, continuing to usher the crowd in the right direction. When within casual/discrete earshot of Laëlynn, he tries to avoid raising panic with the commoner, but informs her, "Goblins. The attackers are Goblins. I can't tell how many, but the song they are chanting does NOT convey peaceful negotiation. Perhaps we can find a few other heroic individuals and resolve this issue. Do you know where your drunk friend from last night might be?"
"Who would do such a thing to a poor animal?" Gavin will try and concentrate of the strange song, chanting, and voices... in an attempt to identify them.
It's a bit early to be trying to buy the place outright! lol.
just for clarification Gavin will scribe Lvl 1 Toppling Magic Missile material costs = 12.5gp
So a question for Laelynn and Mal...do I sense a hook up coming between the two of them..they seem to have that chemistry between them lol. "Mal & Laëlynn... sitting in a tree... K-I-S-S-I-N-G....!"
So DM Mathpro, You got this game, Jade Reagent... a higher level game (I think) And now a Giantslayer! Are you gonna have 1 of EVERY AP going at the same time?
agreed. posting rate, content of posts, ect. This has the makings of a fun, reliable group. --------------------------------------------------------- since it looks as if, we are all retiring for the night (in game). I'm assuming we will be picking up on the next day. Would you have any issue with Gavin spending 2 hours before going to bed, a scribing a scroll?
"It would seem those 2 would work well together. Exhibiting: courage, wisdom, restraint, teamwork, and a sense of humor. These are the best candidates I've seen since arriving. I just need to find a way to introduce myself, explain my intent, and have them accept to take me with them on their adventures."
I personally like GMs that use google docs for a map. When it comes to combat, some sort of map is very helpful. Especially when trying to plan tactics, and such.
Gavin's attention is drawn by a man confronting the rude heckler. As he waits to see the outcome... he thinks, "What do we have here? A possible candidate for a party of adventurers. Drinking aside, he is standing up for the entertainer. Virtuous quality. Let's see if he's able to handle himself."
well clarified DM Mathpro. Thank you.
no worries. you're doing better with it than a lot of people who DO use it as their 1st language.
"No thank you, our angel voiced siren. This will be more than adequate. Here..." Ganvin holds out his hand, opens it to reveal coin for the food and equal amount for a tip. The payment floats over to Faunra, "...this is for you and the continued sound of that mesmerizing song."
Gavin sits at the table, patiently waiting for his food and drink to arrive and reflects a bit. "This Swallowtail Festival is drawing quite a large gathering of people. A pity I had never heard of it before, seems like a very entertaining and happy time. Perhaps I might take enjoy the safe excitement for a while, before I endeavor to seek a partnership with a group of thrill seeking adventurers. Although, with all the diverse cultures congregating, the pool of prospective partners to aid me in my search for spell knowledge, might be at the most opportunistic. We'll see if any possibilities present themselves!"
