Ok no worries hope everythings okay.

After this dungeon bambara plans on helping is bestie out. After seeing her struggle with all the things she needs her hands for. I will be buying a cestus and an ioun torch for alex

Bambara the Fierce wrote:

not wanting or needing it all at once. priority on the bracers, blood Reservoir, and belt. i can indeed use some wands so thats not a bad idea

A couple of quick thoughts:

1) I think that any money spent on these bracers would be better spent of buying an adamantine weapon and getting the enhancement bonus when furious is running up to the point where it overcomes other metal DRs.

2) Of the items listed, the Belt would be most important for me.

For point 1 i think that the bonus would be +3 which is going to be really expensive so the bracers would be a hold me over thing until i could get a furious impact adamantine earthbreaker though i know thats going to be way later.

I think everyone should have a "wishlist" attached to their profile so that makes things easier for mat

So later tonight i will be adding a wishlist to the top of bambaras character sheet. Its for all the magic bits that bambara would want.

Dear lord thats 2 crits in a row for bambara this statue will soon be rubble

Bambara would have put it on months ago as it was a gift from his only real friend. But if there is an issue and we are supposed to murder everything in here thats fine too.
My personal opinion is that everything said in character never hinted at any metagaming that i noticed. Though the secret rolls are fine by me i think it would be a great thing tbh. If we dont know we cant meta.
If the trap thing was an issue, there is a rogue talent that is a passive trap sweep

In the future Bam, please indicate what you are trying to accomplish with a check.

Honestly i thought it was obvious but ok... Scare tactics to get him to do what he was told

I am updating my sheet and will be keeping the Scale mail. my profile will be reflecting the level up and retraining I asked about Jeremey.
can you add my Wooden armor to the list of items to be sold, also id like that potion of lesser restoration please.

These sound great jeremy.
Mat i have a list of things i will end up wanting/buying as the crafter i figured i should put them here.
1 strength belt increasing as we move forward
2 a furious weapon (need a +1 first)
3 better armor
4 another spring sheath for pots of less resto
And last i will be buying a haversack/bag o holding to carry the groups SPARE gear

Other suggestions are welcome

Sorry bill i was unaware that you wanted to be a dragon so the idea i pitched wont work sorry buddy. If i can help an idea you have i will try but i think there is plenty of time so no need to rush it. Matt and jeremy are better at this than i so im sure if you need to bounce ideas off them they may help.

Pete the i love the banter between chui and bam and would love to expand on that more. It reminds me as ive said before of that scene from teenage mutant ninja turtles where donnie and casey jones are working on the truck in the garage going through the alphabet with insults in a way forming a good bond between the two. And the splash damage thing isnt a big deal i figured that it was something like that. I just overreacted (a nasty habit i have)
I am definantly wanting to continue and will do my best to be less touchy feely with bams actions. I really did assume tooo much. Ftr id like to say that the reason for the group hug bam attempted was to make the argument between harmini and alex simmer down. I dont think it worked just seemed to further escalate the issue.
I hope we continue and moving forward do 2 things in order 1) become as a group more reliant on each others strengths chui and bam can and do bring the hurt to thing alex could position herself to really help bam or chui with the aid as combat doesnt seem her strength and be the groups main mouthpiece within cultured society. Harmini is obviously our groups "sage" and the smartest in the room.
i think that knowing the line in the sand is the battle with drawbacks. I had the paranoid drawback with elendra and that is the main reason bambara doesnt have a drawback i am not good enough as a role player yet to have that not be a problem. I think mat nailed it at the beginning and up until recently. But im not going to beat a dead horse. The killer trait also themeaticly fits well with chui and hasnt been an issue at all, or at least i don think it has.
2) over time we should do more goodly things. By doing so it should turn us into the heros that we ought to be instead of the mercs we currently are.

Your actions show you dont know what alexs role in combat is/should be. Trying to talk a group of thugs is more plausable than an evil outsider
But im away from computer now until sunday

This is my take on bambara's thoughts on the group as it is now. And mine in ()

Chui aka Whiskers. (Tmnt casy jones/donatello vibe) watch out he is focused on stopping threats

Ms.Wakestep: (drawback played a little too well hopefully it softens in regard to the group) not shure what to think bambara think she is mean at times but has kept us safe so far. I hope the attitude she has doesnt bite her in the butt

Alex: (impatient but so am i. Also seems to lack direction) she has shown bambara loyalty to him and is my bestest friend.

Bambara: this one is only shawns thoughts on bambara the fierce. I am strugleing to find a balance between invalid and smart. I settled on a childlike nievate and mindset i guess i should rethink that. He is very afraid of 2 things being eaten and being set on fire. I see him as a very affectionate person(similar to the european greetings to friends i.e. physical) i get that people have an issue with this so again i will stop this too sorry mat.
On a side not i plan on planting my seed to reflect the personality shifts in bambara as well as move forward in a more meaningful way. Think groot in gaurdians 2

Ok

ok here are some thoughts. int 5 is really really stupid. so here are a few yes or no questions for the dice gods to decide. 1=Y 2=N

does bam understand the concept of good and evil?
Y/N: 1d2 ⇒ 2
does bam understand the concept of money?
Y/N: 1d2 ⇒ 2
does bam understand combat tactics?
Y/N: 1d2 ⇒ 2
does bam understand the concept of law and chaos?
Y/N: 1d2 ⇒ 2
is Bambara the Fierce brash and impulsive?
Y/N: 1d2 ⇒ 1

query done these are vital answers moving forward
EDIT: this will be interesting

Oh i can play as a complete idiot but that will be a larger defisit on the party than i already am

happy new year my friends

how long should we wait before Bambara and alex start posting to the gameplay
also Jeremy I am putting the answers I sent you to my story questions in the profile and calling it personality...err planthood.

Can i go through the treasure again b4 we sell it all please as my new guy might need some of it

I have a very disorganized profile done for Bambara the Fierce. will upload it when its more organized

and so the pair of Bambara and Alex(?) was born and thus headed to whati to make more plants I mean figure out this thing about alex's past. I like it.

Thank you Pete the discussion this morning helped a lot, after talking a bit with Jeremy my character a Primalist verdant bloodlined Bloodrager of the ghoran race, no known as Bambara. yes he is great buds with Wills character though will as to make things less complicated I think we should have spent the last few years in my home of Nex on the border of oseria and headed to whati to figure out what your campaign trait is all about well you mainly I just want to figure out how to have a kid.
I'm keeping the stat and weapon that pete had posted and adding a backup shortsword I haven't figured out exactly what his traits will be yet I'm thinking one that improves will saves and armor master as I plan on med armor. first feat will most likely be power attack unless I can get raging vitality. Bambara is aloof often trying to figure out how to express himself as a result he uses a mixture of gestures and a few words. i wam playing an int of 5 so 5-6 words at a time sound like a perfect limit to his talking ability. lastly I plan on taking antagonize at some point so intimidate will be my only skill. I don't plan on taking a drawback though he is a plant so he may rustle a bit if a fire spell is near him. also he is DELICIOUS don't eat him

i have a concept for a character i just really want to make one that both fits in the group and is fun for me to play, i have an idea for a bloodrager but s I'm not familiar id like to talk to pete about it tomorrow first before i post the final concept. the basic idea is loosely based on swampthing and groot he is a ghoren bloodrager with the verdant bloodline i will be a brusier and have an ok cha so can HELP with the face portion but i don't want to be in that role alone.

Will are you planning on boom or melee

Minus jeremy we all will be at table top saturday talk it over then? Also i was thinking about an old character i never got the chance to play and really want to, badly. His name is thadius Regenald Monoi Rambledazzle Thatcher V M.D. and if the name didnt give away anything gnome churigen/vivisectionist(maybe)

Though i know you had origonally thought about being an arcanist so i could do a brusier no problem if needed

so the general consensus is that if we decide on a leaderless format that we need to use the discussion or ooc more often. my thoughts on the Leader are that the person in charge should be the best suited for the task at hand, for example Chui is our scout at the moment, thus he should almost always dictate the explore speed that Jeremy has implemented.

As for me not happy with Elendra its more that I'm not happy with the ability or lack there of I have as a player.

I also have limited experience in AP's the only one ive been in (RotRL) stopped after 2 sessions. and no experience other than this in pbp. I have to say for someone who relies heavily on timing and tone of voice a text based format is proving a great, but nice, challenge for me

Will as to the table post, im usually the troublemaker. A nasty habit im trying to break

My last question is where do we go from her

to prevent further chaos on my end i will be posting here a lot more just so yopu guys know what i am thinking about before i do it. also which person is the leader of the group? i was under the impression that it was wynrey.

I have been thinking about it a lot and i really dont think i can play a character like elendra just yet. Me as a player cant though i love the concept and person she is it is styleisticly too far apart from what i am capable of and want to ask you and the party if i can do something more natural for me to play. I assure you that it will be far more light hearted. I hope i am not stepping on any toes here

Can we please pause the game

downtime I hope

No worries i hope it was a good day my friend

pjrogers I'm pretty sure the map is updated on roll20

wow guys 51 posts on day 2

I'm set to move on to the next part so that's 1 of 4

pjrogers you know you are posting chui as your pjrogers name right?

works for me

Snadbox mode activate

So after talking with some people i figured out some stuff that may help me play and simplify things for my character Elendra (Thorpe?). Was thinking of making her desmonds daughter. Also in retrospect she wouldnt have left the group like she did as it wouldnt make sense for her to do so.

I will be there though not for pfs

Lmao well played.

Ok

Ok guys so my boom is fire and lots of it i get them from mystery/curse and booted by revelation and race traits. I was thinking for my other spells i would do things like bless and bane. 2 sides of the same coin idea to fit the theme of who elendra is as a person. Struggeling to find herself being called by both her hag mother and Sarenrae. Any thoughts on the typs of spells that would be good for the group are appreciated. (I get all cure or inflict spells for on my spells known)

I have the next 2 weeks off so plenty of time to work on it

Im liking this elendra is frome bargetown and desperatly wants out. The only ay she feels that she can is by entering the necropolis

And i plan on being a scribe and makingmagic scrolls

Oh the oracle is female changeling

I was still planning on being a native to whati the city this starts in by taking the trait for it

Im planning on a flame based oracle
