Well, I'm 50 y/o IRL, maybe that helps. ;-)
I probably woundn't have reacted the same way in my twenties.
One last apology, before I go, to our female players. They deserve it.

From 1st to 2d Edition, Pathfinder become, IMO, way too complicated without enough added fun. I tried, these last day, to post something, anything. But everytime, I froze at the idea of posting words that could be perceived as inappropriate. Trust was broken between players, by my fault. And trust never really come back, I know it. Because I don't trust me enough myself to honestly say "It won't happen again." That's my kind of humor IRL, maybe I put too much of myself in Nabi, someone who likes to play with words, someone who likes to flirt with the limits. But when you flirt too much with the limits, you will cross them sooner or later. It happened IRL for me too. So it's better to part ways, so you can find somone you can trust to play with.
you're right on second edition, it's not my stuff, I don't really enjoy it, and find it too complex. but the "misstep"*, as you gently call it, is the main reason. The less said about it, the better. Good game to all. *for which I have no one to blame but myself.
Hey, just to say I have taken my decision and I'm bowing out of the game. Thank you.
I think I'll take some time off this game, maybe until the 15th March. Please bot me as needed. I feel really ashamed by my own words, and under no circumstances I should have spoken that way. The worst being that, in a table game, I would probably have made the same joke. My humor can be quite provocative, and I didn't think about the impact of my words, or about asking consent about the joke. I didn't see it as some flirtatious attempt, it was just, from Nabi POV, the pleasure of making a joke in a stressful situation, to release the stress. I wrote the text, didn't even took a second to re-read my words, to consider the situation, the emotions of the other character. Believe me, Hmm, I understand your POV. I'm very deeply sorry about how I acted. This in not the man I am everyday. This is surely not the man I want to become. I want to stay respectful of women, of people. I'm pretty sure, even if that is no excuse, that my carelessness is linked to me being in a rough place mentally and emotionnally since a few months, but I do have to take care of other's emotions too. Saddest thing to me is to have maybe (probably!) hurted Lady Ladile, who I like and respect.
I, again, apologises, to everyone and to our female players first.
Sorry.
I apologise if anyone feels offended. I will do my best to be PG now.
Ooops.
Nabi wanted to give a pill to Clover, to vomit the poison away (hey, you don't know until you try !) But the clumsily let the pill fall, and not, as one would have expected, into Clover's cleavage, which would have been clever, but in her throat. The halfling can't breath for her few seconds, but Nabi, quick thinking, uses some of her lockpick to grab the pill. She even avoids any innuendo about how halfling can't deepthroat, or that sometimes its better to spit than to swallow
Nabi jumps into action, trying to force out the poisoned mist from the halfling's lungs. Being a rogue, she sneak a peek into Clover's cleavage. Probably because of her mischevious nature and ability to play with words
Don't be afraid or ashamed, I'm a certified doctor now. Beside, I'm a girl too. Besides, Leaf's feather would have tickled you, and you could have coughed more. Not good for you
I didn't knew wolves used forks. If you hear one talken, don't listen, they spoon lies too
Nabi has quite a bunch of questions for the halfling What are usual tactics for wolves, Clover? How can we better fight them? Do you know how many wolves we might meet, with all those tracks? What kind of behavior would be unusual for wolves? I'm asking because if their pack leader is a werewolf or something like that, maybe even an intelligent wolf, or another druid, knowing how they are supposed to react and spotting unusual reactions can make the difference if we have to fight.
So you can talk with wolves now? Since when? how? Nabi seems baffled by Clover's talents
I guess wolves run faster than a human, right Clover? Well, as long as I can outrun you, it shouldn't be a problem..Any tactical hint you could share before they attack? Nabi readies her short sword
Must have been a lost dog
Will go with Clover
No objection here, fair deal .
I got a question for my Champion, the PFS character I gave the chronicles to. He uses a glaive, as he is a servant of Sheylin, which is a two handed weapon. he's got "Shied block" feat, but he can't even use a buckler with his glaive, right? Buckler:
Do you have some codex of rules we should abide too? Are some specific acts of circus prohibited? Maybe, as you know what can best please the local crowds, you can give us some hints, and see how well, how hard we work to accomodate the public: of course we need money to live, honest money, but we are driven to entertain, we enjoy the roar and cheers of the crowd. You won't find another circus willing to bring smiles on the faces of everybody, and it's easier, I guess, to rule over happy people. The Menagerie is nothing more than a parcel of rogues, thugs and liars only some of them talented enough to be walking into the sandy ring, bound to bring trouble into your town, willing to do anything to anyone for a few more coins, because their show don't draw enough people. If you want real professionals, law abiding entertainers, look no further than the glorious Circus of Wayward Wonders And Nabi manages to stay straight faced.
The silver tongued Nabi speaks, showing deference to the authority and appealing to her sense of justice I am sure you want to be impartial, and you can't judge what you haven't seen. We were victims of sabotage, and we have done everything we could to right the wrongs that had be done to our circus and to the crowd. Let us put a show, just one night, watch our circus and be entertained, and see by yourself every care is taken to ensure the safety of the crowd. If you are pleased, we'll stay, paying our taxes in Escadar. If not, our circus will go to another town, whose coffins will fill with gold and silver. We are a traveling troupe, after all.
I would have supposed a Tengu would say "enjoy your beak!" But take care anyway! A few days are nothing!
L5 Feat: Battle Medicine For the next levels, I think I'll take (in no particular order) Cat Fall, Assurance (Thievery), Assurance (Acrobatics), Assurance (Stealth) When Master in Stealth (L7): Foil senses and Swift sneak
Was wondering if you had suggestions for feats from other books, I only have the Core one.
@ephraim: Fourth and Fifth week you can attempt up to Level 1 Task. While you are busy not reading the fine prints, could you please sign up these for me? Nothing important...Really!
Ephraim, it seems you forgot to roll for one week (4 weeks out of 5) I suppose I get double income for Critical rolls? (all Task in Expert Acrobatics) Week 1: normal success Task L5 so 1 GP
Total 1+1+0.6+0.4=3 Gp Spank me if I'm wrong!
Nabi tries a new set of daring acrobatic moves. At first it seems she put her expectations too high. Then she finds her groove and amazes even herself. The third week of performance shows her giving a dazzling display of acrobatics: the moves as quick, precise, the execution is sharp, and her natural banter is in full form, engaging the crowd reactions Groovy. It seems that, from now on, the word "Groovy" is one of her favorites. You soon have your ears full of it, everytime Nabi succeeds at something. Which is quite often. Fortunatly (or not), the acrobat might have over-extended some muscles at her peak performance, but even limping a bit, she's able to meet some more reasonable expectations.
It would be nice to just put a show and bring a few smiles on the faces of the crowd, instead of risking soul and limbs in fights against monsters and demon worshippers...
Potential feats for Nabi: Lie to Me (Deception-T): use my Deception bonus instead of Perception to see through lies Group Impression (Diplomacy-T) Make an Impression on multiple targets
Group Coercion: (Intimidation-T) Intimidate a group Alchemical (or Snares) Crafting (Crafting-T) Cat fall (Acrobatics T) with Expert, can fall 25 feet Battle medicine (Medicine -T) Heal in battle (could be useful to have 2 people able to do that without using magic) Continual recovery-(Medicine E) treat wounds more often Multilingal (Society-T) 2 more langages, could be handy
Set free the first one who finishes to eat the other.
Happy Hannukah Hmm
A good new for our skills: I forgot Skill Heritage (Medicine) makes me Expert at level 5 automatically. So I can use my L5 skill increase on another skill. I took Natural skill as a Racial feat for Religion (T) and Intimidation (T) Maybe I can use my L5 skill increase to get either Diplomacy or Intimidation to Expert? It looks like I forgot (since the beginning of the game) 1 skill to be Trained: I should have 14 skills (out of 19!) Trained at level 1, and I find 13 Background Thievery, Underworld Lore (feat Subtle theft) (2)
But my starting Skill list was Athletics, Acrobatics, Deception, Diplomacy, Lore (Antiquities, Circus, Underworld), Medicine, Performance, Society, Stealth, Survival, Thievery (13) So, I'd like to add Craft (T) to that list
Maybe we can put the game on hold till after the new year ? Still haven't leveled up
THat's a good point, Rulean. I forgot I could take a lower level racial feat, and not only a level 5 racial feat. here are my Untrained skills so far:
I don't see Nabi as really intimidating. She has a way with words, but more to mock, taunt or deceit. I think Craft (to repair things on the circus, or to create traps maybe) could be useful, and perhaps all that stuff about battling demons and things from other planes/ gods could have sparkle some interest in Religion (just to know how to beat them) What about the Skill Increase? Should I boost my Medicine, and get a useful Feat too? Another skill to Expert?
Level 5 Ability Boosts (4) +2 to Dex (18), STR and CON (both 14) and CHA (16) Ancestry Feat: Clever Improviser (of course) Skill Feat depends of skill increase chosen Skill Increase not sure. Either Medecine Expert if that can help the group, or Athletics/ Diplomacy Expert Backstab +2d6 Weapon tricks- Expert in Rogue weapons
it was so odd, seeing myself strangely lacking some education. As if I took the "back to basic" part waaaaaaay too far. I don't know where it came from. Had a feeling we where underground sometimes, and somewhere totally else at other time. I was expecting a rabbit, but I didn't knew if I should be afraid of it or reassured.
You thought.. No, it seems you can't even talk correctly, probably cause my sword in imbedded in your lungs now, you thinked you killed me? You thinked bad! Did you heard me saying the final words of a circus performer: "That's all, folks!", after you hit me? I don't think so! Thats why you're dying, and I'm not!
Nabi picks her sword and rises to her feet, before stabbing the Xulgath's boss with full force
Gotcha!
I hate work meetings with passion. A waste of time and inefficient.
Magic weapon!
Nabi slashes, more or less widly, at their foe, hoping to add damage to injury and of course insults to mockery, because thats what Nabi does. What, that's all? No wonder the succubus was disappointed in you. All bark and no bite, and even your bark is less powerful than your stench. Or was it bad breath? A lack of general personal hygiene? Sooooooooo many reasons to drop you. From real hight and on pointed sticks, if possible.
Much work to do , with a work meeting tonight, could you please bot me GM? Nabi will move to get a flank and possible sneak attacks
I'm pretty sure you didn't even tipped her scales, which is the worst for something like you. Maybe she didn't like short tails.. or was it tales? Nabi can't help but send some barbed words at their foe
Nabi takes one of the pillow. And strikes the unexpecting Clover with it, grinning Pillow fight?
Nabi sniggers You dare call me an attention-seeker, Rulean? Then she sighs Guys of all shapes, races and sex, I want to apologise. I forced your hand in that last fight against the succubus. It seemed to me to be the right thing to do, and the circumstances gave us no time for reflexion. I hope we won't pay for that. Can't the demons, devils or whatever just put it on my tab, like everyone else?
Would prefer YMCA. Just sayin" (alive, saying alive, ahahahah saying allliiiiiiiiiiiivvve!)
Sorry, way too much work these last days, and your pace is quick.^^ Nabi is neutral, but these demons try to out-perform her in the word trade, with deadly consequences. Plus, she is the pretty face around, not some extraplanar harlot. For those offenses, the succubus will die. She would be happy to send the demon back to her plane with a few more mortal wounds.
Nabi pauses and catches her breath, as the demon girl bargains. Being quite adept at lying, decieving, manipulating and cheating people herself, she tries to find the catch in the creature's word. Why should we trust you? We've seen how people who made a deal with you ended, bringing more corruption, pain and murder in our world than it should be humanly possible, and the gods know how much humans can hurt each other all by themselves! I'm not a do-gooder or a saint, but I won't go so low as to be your new pet. It would be like clawing my way down to Hell.We won't entertain your offer, as we say in the circus. And then, the acrobat is ready to fight once more
hopefully, a last question all the bonuses for PFS go to the same character, just like in PFS1? Thanks for your answers and links!
Still not 100% sure which character will get the sheet (hey, sheet happens!^^) , but I need some info, as I don't fully understand a few things: 12 Xp-fine and straightforward, thats a whole level, right?12 Rep with a faction: your own faction I guess? You can't get a better Rep with another Faction? 30 Treasures bundles: that I don't understand. What is a treasure bundle? Why do we get 10 Bundles each 4 XP? 24 days of Downtime: what can we use these for? Retraining? Crafting? a few days off at the beach?
Nabi unleashes a flurry of attacks, hoping to distract the succubi from the real fighters or Ephraim's magic prowess
Damnit, Rulean, I was about making a joke about better picking your choices...It seems you are quite an handful for your opponent, anyway Hearing Balenni insulting Song of Air, the quick-witted Nabi retorts, hoping to get her foe off guard
Why such hen-nous words? before slashing
