Alright, Yelena's piglet bit made me laugh...very good line. Khalads reply made me bust out for 5 minutes. I picture this big guy, festooned with goblin knuckle bones, looking every inch a fierce, green-tinted barbarian, looking at Yelena with these downcast eyes like a little boy caught by the schoolmarm.

"Aw shucks, but I like chasing piglets"

My thought is maybe to recruit another rogue. If Pietro comes back, it won't kill me to get him back in, and have the extra player, but I'd like to get the party balance back and move on for now.

What say you?

Works for me!!


1. Recruit away, good sir!

2. And I imagine Khalad was the one who always caught the piglet. :)


Yeah, go for it!

And; :D

But he does love chasing piglets! And as the tallest boy he was the fastest at catching them too! :p

That's how he got his first XP!


You have my vote for a new recruit. I'm enjoying this immensely, and would hate to see it stagnate.

As for chasing piglets, I'm picturing Khalad running around after a little screeching piglet that is wearinga pink striped onesie, all being watched by a small yellow bear covered in honey...


I'm for recruiting as well.

BTW, loved the scene with the three warriors drinking the hagfish swill!

Khalad as Christopher Robbin? Don't think A. A. Milne had tatoo'd barbarians in mind... ;)

Thanks Gimble. I'm glad someone took up the challenge, more so that 3 of you tried it. Been wanting to get that scene going since my F2F group passed on the chance a year ago.


All are in for a new rogue, so going to post for it.


Ok,as we approach the 300 post mark, I wanted to get some feedback from all of you:

1. Is the pace ok? I am generally trying to wait at certain junctures for everyone to chime in, but at other times I am moving forward without posts from everyone. Make sure to tell me if you are feeling left out.

2. Combat/maps working ok?

3. Anything else you want to bring up...?

I am enjoying the game a lot, but if you aren't, or would like to see something tweaked, just let me know. This should be fun for all of us, so I am open to suggestions.

Even extra piglet-chasing episodes.

I'm down with it, I think you have to push on in PBP, because their so slow in general. I'm really happy with the pace!

Beautiful.

Yes! At least one celebratory piglet chase! :p

1. Pace is going great!
2. Love the combat and maps
3. nothing to complain about...really great experience so far from everyone involved

In my opinion...don't change a thing!!


I agree with them. Don't change anything!

Pacing is good, and the maps are awesome. I myself have only recently discovered the joys of MapTool.

And Rogar said it best, great work from everyone here. :-)


1. Pacing is fantastic. Honestly. I've played many PbP games on Paizo and this is the first one that doesn't drag along.

2. Combat is good. There was a bit of a hiccup with coordinating placement on the map, but otherwise everything is fine. MapTools is indeed a program worth its weight in gold-pressed latinum.

3. More treasure would be nice. :)

Did we solve the hiccup? Not sure I remember where that occurred.

Ah. The treasure. Unless I missed it, don't think anyone has said: "I go through their pockets to see if they've got anything worthwhile." Actually, I've been waiting for it.

The pace is good. It's progressing much quicker than some other PbP's I'm in!

Working great. Love the maps!

*Facepalm* You are right! I guess we've all been so caught up in the moment that we forgot to check for treasure. Actually, I think that's a good sign that we're hooked on the action!


Thanks all for the comments. Carrying on 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.


Ok, thanks for the heads up.


Just a heads up...

My posting might be a bit spotty the next few days. I woke up Thursday with some nasty vertigo, and I am seeing a neurologist today. My thought is a bad case of inner ear vertigo due to allergies...but just to be sure I'm taking it easy the next few days( lying down is only help right now).

Anyway, I will try to keep up as best I can...hopefully this will pass soon...

Male Human Rogue 1/Fighter 1

Hello all, thanks for letting me join the game, if I survive the intro! LOL..

DM, here is my hp roll for 2nd level: 1d10 ⇒ 9


Khalad's just antsy! Don't mind me! Glad to have you!


Male Dwarf Cleric of Torag 2

Welcome 'Creed'! Looks like we are to have an exciting character dynamic take place.


Welcome Sebastien!


Male Human Rogue 1/Fighter 1

Thanks to all, although I am confused as to why DM keeps misspelling his name! :)


Sorry, just used to that spelling, will get it right.


Sorry about the delay. I have exams this week, one today and one tomorrow, so working to get the posts in. Give me 'til this afternoon and I'll have the map up.


When it rains, it pours...

So now work is sending me away from home for 9 days. I leave the 3rd and wont be back until the 12th. As luck would have it, I wont internet access either. Isnt life grand?

We'll get through round 2 and have to freeze the action at that point.


Thanks for letting us know. Have a safe trip, and I'm sure we'll all be here when you get back.

Safe journey, I've just posted up my round 2 actions. I'm really having a blast in this campaign so far, so thank you and I'm looking forward to gettinh back swinging!

I sorta solicited it. Dunno why, but couldn't see past the first page of the ooc threads.


Ok guys, have a family issue that needs dealing with. Will be gone from 6/25 to 6/29. Then family vacation from 7/1 to 7/6.

Thats a busy schedule boss!


I suppose Gimble's revenge will have to wait. ;)

Noooooo!!!!

:p

Vindictive gnome! 2d4 bludgeoning damage!


Ok. I'm back. Lets roll on!


Just a heads up, gang. I'm going to be out of town from Sat. July 24th to Monday Aug. 2nd, without any internet access (AFAIK). And, yes, it is at the beach... <sorry> :/

If I do have access, it would be very limited. So consider this my formal approval for Old Guy to NPC Torillan for that period.

Thanks, and see you when I get back!


Just have to tell you all...I just re-read the whole thread from the start tonight. Very entertaining stuff!!! Still laughing at Khalad and the piglets!

:D

I do my best!


Internet down for last few days. Posting this from the BlackBerry. What a pain! Hope to be back soon. That's what AT@T tells me ...


Looking forward to it!

When you get the APG, or even if you don't I'm wondering waht you'll allow. I specifically want to take this rage power:

Gaurded Life (Ex) While raging, if the barbarian is
reduced below 0 hit points, 1 hit point of lethal damage per
barbarian level is converted to nonlethal damage. If the
barbarian is at negative hit points due to lethal damage,
she immediately stabilizes.

That will hopefully ameliorate me dying from rage running out.


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

These guys:

Spirit Totem, Lesser (Su): While raging, the barbarian is
surrounded by spirit wisps that harass her foes. These spirits
make one slam attack each round against a living foe that
is adjacent to the barbarian. This slam attack is made using
the barbarian’s full base attack bonus, plus the barbarian’s
Charisma modifier. The slam deals 1d4 points of negative
energy damage, plus the barbarian’s Charisma modifier.

Spirit Totem (Su): While raging, the spirits that surround
the barbarian make it difficult for her enemies to see her.
The spirits grant the barbarian a 20% miss chance against
ranged attacks and melee attacks made by creatures that
are not adjacent to the barbarian (typically due to reach).
A barbarian must have the lesser spirit totem rage power
to select this rage power. A barbarian must be at least 6th
level to select this rage power.

Spirit Totem, Greater (Su): While raging, the spirits that
surround the barbarian become dangerous to any enemy
adjacent to the barbarian. Living enemies adjacent to the
barbarian at the start of her turn take 1d8 points of negative
energy damage. In addition, the spirit wisps can now attack
foes that are up to 15 feet away from the barbarian and the
slam attack deals 1d6 points of negative energy damage. A
barbarian must have the spirit totem rage power and be at
least 10th level to select this rage power.


I'm back, just wondering where everyone went. Although, if Old Guy is having internet issues, I hope they get fixed soon!


Guys, am really sorry for the delay. Apparently someone spliced into the cable feed at the pole near my house. AT&T in their wisdom, cut the whole thing off. Somehow this is my fault, despite the fact that I have a signed agreement with them, and the other house does not. Hopefully this will be fixed very soon. I am going down to their office today to meet with them.

Gotta love AT&T. Hopefully they'll get you up and running!
