So far, three out of three have voted for no traits. I'll concur.


Female (posing as male) Human Swashbuckler Rogue 2 (favoured class)/Urban Ranger 2

ah I have traits for my character(always a problem importing from elsewhere) and they are sort of core to her character..but if the majority don't want them I'm ok with that

Please note..Melissa spends most of her time pretending to be a boy...there are strong reasons for this and if people try and find them out in game I have no problems..please read her background.

Thats second level characters right?

I'm going to be away from tonight till sunday night going to Dragonmeet where the highlight will be getting to meet Erik Mona

Cool! She'll look like a very short young man so! :D

Is it level 2? I actually don't mind traits either way, I could have them or go without, so don't count me as a vote against.


Werehare Inquisitive 3/ Seeker 3/ Bard 3

Same here. If they work for you, take them.


Everyone level 1 except Adjunta and Melissa :) .

This week end I'll try to check your background with everyone to see how to adapt it a litle for the beginning of the adventure.

"Ianthe Jack"

Spoiler:

" While in Oppara , you have checked with the correspondant of the Alladrin's shield bearers there . After a few days with your family , you are a little surprised to hear from him there is an offer of employment for you. It seems the church of Iomedae would have need of someone like you and would like you to contact them ."

"Heren Andercrote"

Spoiler:

While adventuring , you had an occasion to give a small help to a wizard called Estorion. While passing through his hometown , you visit him and he indicates to you he has just received an offer of employment from the church of Abadar which he will declines as it would takes a little too much time for him at the moment since he is looking for a new apprentice. He asks if you would be interested ? "

"Hasim Bin Omar"

Spoiler:

Since your arrival in Taldor , you have had many occasions to deal with the curch of Abadar . They have determined your land deed as a fake , have helped you to have a license to trade when taldoran officials would not even hear you and have validated your honesty when people accused you to have cheated them . So , when it seems apparent you are at a loss of what to do, one priest refer you to one Devred Gimonth who could help you .

"Malgasir"

Spoiler:

Since you advertise yourself as a guide, the church of Iomedae would like to hire you to guide some people to the verduran forest ..."

"Melissa"

Spoiler:

So far I'm still thinking of how to introduce you. I have a tentative scheme but I need to think on it .

"Adjunta"

Spoiler:

Devred Gimonth , a middle placed bureaucrat in the church of Abadar has asked for a meeting with you. when you report to him , he explains to you that he has need for one person for a mission liaising with the church of Iomedae . He first thought of asking the wizard Estorion but this one declined and signaled to him he recently met a young ptiest of Abadar who to his opinion would have the necessary tact for such a mission , to wit you .
The mission would consist of going to the outskirts of the Verduran Forest far to the north to officially explore an old and abandonned church of Aroden and recover there all deeds, memento , documents and objects of faith which could still be there in order to transfer their propriety to representants of the inheritor.
He further explains he will soon meet with two people he plans to hire for you so that you will not be the sole representative of Abadar in the group.

For those who don't see any problem with tour background , let's game on . To the play by play forum !!!


Werehare Inquisitive 3/ Seeker 3/ Bard 3

Are we using the old thread ~{HERE}~ ? I wasn't sure whether or not it was your intention to start a new thread.


We are of course using the old thread ...
What happened will have consequences later on ...


M Keleshite Sor 1 (610 XP)

"Where can I find this Devred Gimnoth?"

(I'm guessing that I will be referred to another town, and that when I get there, I'll stop at an inn, where I'll ask some random person, who happens to be another PC, where I can find Devred Gimnoth, and I'll meet the party that way. Is that the idea? If so, I'll skip up to that point, and move on to the PBP thread, to which Me'mori has helpfully linked.)


Werehare Inquisitive 3/ Seeker 3/ Bard 3

heh.. same thing I was figuring. I was waiting for a post to separate the "former adventure" from the "current adventure", myself. For that "official" flavor. ^^;


Melissa

Spoiler:

Since you have arrived in Oppara , you have found work for a factotum of the count of Eisekulp gathering information for him . He now explains to you he has a long term mission for you . he has arranged for you to be the representative of the church of Aroden for a group going to recover and transfer propriety of items to the church of Iomedae . He explains to you he could not care less about the failure or success of this mission . Your REAL mission will be to spy on one Adjunta Paul priest of Abadar and report anything in his acts which could serve to harm his reputation ...

Happy New Year everyone!


Sorry for the delay , guys . Had some troubles
Update tonight normally


Werehare Inquisitive 3/ Seeker 3/ Bard 3

it is possible to host images on Imageshack, or a Blog if one has one, otherwise, provided that you have it scanned at the size you wish to display, any free image hosting site ought to work, as you only need it up long enough for us to save if it will be relevant over a long period.

Hey robin, I was wondering if you'd had a look at the new APg Playtest document?

And whether you'd reconsider allowing Heren to be a cavalier?


Werehare Inquisitive 3/ Seeker 3/ Bard 3

He's got the manner, most definitely.


Male (he/him) Irish Physicist (Programmer Dedication) 5

Why Thank you! :D


To be frank , the first version of the cavalier was prone to abuse but the new one seems to be much more balanced .
so if you want to , go for it
What order would be your choice ?


Male (he/him) Irish Physicist (Programmer Dedication) 5

Lion or Dragon, do you have any preference?

I'll probably go Lion unless there's a seditionist element to come.


Either one is good


All done!


I indeed let Mel as a replacement character be second level and Adjunta did win enough xp to be 2 lvl . the rest of you are still 1st level .


Male (he/him) Irish Physicist (Programmer Dedication) 5

That's cool, I was just worried I'd made a mistake somewhere along the way!


Male (he/him) Irish Physicist (Programmer Dedication) 5

Hey guys, combat is pretty manic with this many of us, so could I make a suggestion.

Once the boss-man calls for Initiative, we all roll it and declare our actions for the next round.

Once everyone has posted, or an amount of time has passed so that Robin NPCs people who haven't posted yet, he gathers up all of the happenings in the round along with the monsters actions, and makes changes to people's actions who become invalid.

Maybe this format?

Init: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20

ROUND 1 ACTION

I move towards the thespian as fast as I can and attack.

If I reach him, 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

ChunkyRogue54 wrote:

Init: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

ROUND 1 ACTION

I tumble, for no apparent reason!

Acrobatics! 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (14) + 20 = 34

Mr. GM wrote:


=Round 1=
[FF] Init 20: You reach the thespian and attack, but his acting causes your sword to flinch and the blow doesn't hit.
[Thespian] Init 10: The thespian begins to recite Shakespeare, can everyone make Will saves before the next round.
[CR54] Init 3: You tumble successfully into a position 10' from the thespain.
Fighty McFighterton wrote:

Will Save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

..etc.

Then every round, people start with

Init: 20
ROUND 2 ACTIONS
I dance! etc.

Maybe thats a silly suggestion but what do you think especially you Robin/boss-man? It might make everything more straightforward to read and understand, I'd hope anyway.


M Keleshite Sor 1 (610 XP)

Speaking for myself, if I know a lot of characters and monsters - especially monsters - will be taking their actions before I do, I will want to see the outcomes before I post my actions, or even seriously THINK about them.

And when we first roll for initiative, if I make a lousy roll, so I expect to lose initiative to a lot of characters and monsters, then, also, I would want to see what happens before I consider my actions.

Otherwise, my declarations get too confusing. "If this happens I'll do this, if that happens I'll do that, and if the other thing happens... etc."


Heren , this is what I do in a way .
The simplest way I've found to do it is to divise the rounds and after each action by an enemy , I'll say which of you can act before the next enemy act
If by example Hasim , Mel and Ianthe can all act , all of them can post in any order , the justification being that they delay with each other . This way the first to connect do not have to wait for the two others .

If ,for some reason (like going on holidays) one of the others like you or Adjunta want to post an action before I say he can act, I would like him to put it in a spoiler so as not disturb the others . Otherwise , I would prefer him to wait.
Trust me , I have seen rounds going into pure chaos if we do not do so . The record being if I remember rightly someone saying his action for round 5 while the others were still acting round 2 ...

Yeah, that's pretty much my philosophy when I GM too, if I'm understanding you correctly.


Werehare Inquisitive 3/ Seeker 3/ Bard 3

It occurs to me that if Adjunta channeled positive energy, then the ghouls should have taken an equivalent amount of damage, correct? I'm assuming from the post that they did not regard that as a hostile action?

Channeling energy causes a burst that affects all creatures of one type (either undead or living) in a 30-foot radius centered on the cleric.

I believe this means that Adjunta can either heal the living or harm the undead but not both.


Werehare Inquisitive 3/ Seeker 3/ Bard 3

Ah, point. You are indeed correct. I had not seen that clarification.


it is a change from the beta in fact


Werehare Inquisitive 3/ Seeker 3/ Bard 3

Heh.. just shows that most of my cleric experience was in beta.. Glad they fixed it, it was a rather troubling part.


Werehare Inquisitive 3/ Seeker 3/ Bard 3

Again, by all means, if you need passive rolls, feel free to roll them for me, at DM's discretion. I only really need to make the active rolls when I post.


I wanted to thank all those under the charm of the creature for their patience . That can't have been fun and frankly I thought more of you would save at the beginning .

Especially me! Adjunta has a +7 or so to his will save!


M Keleshite Sor 1 (610 XP)

I must tell you that my availability will be very limited soon. I'll be able to post freely for another day or two. Then for the next 5 days, I will be able to post very seldom. Then for the next 2 or 3 days after THAT, I won't be able to post at all. The GM might have to take over my PC now and then during that time. (And hey, the GM did a good job carrying out my wishes so far.) Or maybe the GM might pass control of my character to another player during that time.


no problem , Hasim .


Werehare Inquisitive 3/ Seeker 3/ Bard 3

I don't believe we split the money. If we have a chest on the cart, then the money is in the chest.


M Keleshite Sor 1 (610 XP)

Okay, I'm going now. There's a slim chance I might post just once in another day or two, but other than that, you won't hear from me for another 4-5 days. See you then.


Something has come up, and I probably won't be at a computer tuesday, wednsday and most of thursday.

Sorry about this, just GMPC my character as neccesary, I'll definitely be posting again thursday night.

Regards,
Eoin.

Adjunta needs a few gold for the crossbow, he's got 25 so he'll need another 17. Also, quick heads up, a week from today I'll be leaving for a vacation. I'll be bringing my laptop but it might be impossible for me to post anything. I'll be away for the rest of April and most of May, I leave on the 28th of April and get back on the 28th of May.


I think we are ready to proceed . please buy what you need .
I'll post tomorrow but a plan of action from you would be nice ...


Werehare Inquisitive 3/ Seeker 3/ Bard 3

What magic is available in the town?


Not much . some potions or scrolls would be about all


M Keleshite Sor 1 (610 XP)

Could I ask around to find out if there are any scrolls with the Message spell for sale? Or if anyone would be willing to scribe some for us? (Thanks, Heren, for the idea. I don't know if it will be useful, but it MIGHT.)


Werehare Inquisitive 3/ Seeker 3/ Bard 3

That's what I'm looking for. Scrolls in particular.

Magic Missile, Mount, identify, True Strike, if they are available.


M Keleshite Sor 1 (610 XP)

Yes, I ought to get some Magic Missile scrolls as well, if possible.

(I can't believe I just wrote that. I NEVER buy scrolls, and when I play a sorcerer/wizard type, I ALWAYS take Magic Missile first! I don't know what possessed me to choose differently this time.)
