We can't make you do everything for us, megan! We'll try and help out a bit, with keeping the thread rolling...

Nice IC chatter, folks... a pleasure to sit back and watch :)

I heartily agree - I'm going to really enjoy playing with all of you.

To give everyone a head's up on my posting schedule in case you are waiting for a response from me. On weekends, I can check frequently and will respond several times during the day. During the week, I have the ability to read but not post at work. So in general, I will post either before 6:30 AM Central Time (-5 GMT) or after 7:00 PM Central Time.

Megan, feel free to take over Eroril if you want to move the story along in between those hours.


I am enjoying the game as well.

Just as an FYI, beginning Tuesday, my posting will be very limited for the week, until Sunday morning. I am traveling for work, and will have my laptop, but don't expect to be able to post except once in the morning and once at night. Certainly, feel free to autopilot Ironleg as necessary!


Most days should be able to post all day, as my work hasn't blocked Piazo yet. Just a heads up though, Sunday after noon I will be on travel, but will get back Monday. i may still be able to post depending on where I stay.

I like the roleplaying myself, if i get annoying let me know. Im playing Kozaric simular to Friday from Dragnet, but he will loosen up over time.

All noted... as mentioned, I'll do my best to take care of characters whose players are missing. It's understood that the 'real world' is going to interfere with the alternate reality we inhabit, after all :)


FYI - I reformatted Eroril's profile to make it easier to find all of his stats, spells, possessions etc. Let me know if there is any other information you think you need.


I will mostly be able to post in the mornings, and late evenings PST.


Sorry I didn't post yesterday. I got called in to work and I didn't get home until late last night.

No worries... the sierra-hotel-one-tango has not hit the air conditioning yet!


It has now!

We will need someone to detect magic and ID any items. So far from what has been mentioned in the game post we have:
-wand UNK
-scroll UNK
-book UNK
-rapier
-sickle
-short sword
-Sap
-light crossbow
-10 bolts
-bracers
-leather armor – masterwork
-studded leather armor
-(2) Belt pouches
-50gp's worth of Golden Goblin gaming chips X 150% = 75g
-8gp

Please note that I have a job interview tomorrow (Monday) so will not be online until I get back.

That's terrific news. I hope it goes well.


Yeah, good luck on your interview. Hope you knock it out of the park.

Thanks, folks!


Megan,
A few questions for you.
-What do you want us to do for 2nd level Hit Points?
-Is that a catwalk on th 2nd floor map of the Goblin? If it is can it be fortified, a.i. wood and leather planking etc?
Also, I figure during this down time we can get our loot IDed and split up.

Liberty's Edge

Hi there :)

You're the first of my four groups to level up, so well done :)

Hit Points: You can take half your class allotment OR roll the die: make up your mind before rolling, if that's what you choose to do. Don't forget any Con bonus...

The area over the gaming hall is indeed catwalks, the intention is somewhere that people can maintain overwatch and observe what's going on at the gaming tables, to spot cheats from that angle. Each is solid enough to support 2 or 3 people so I suppose you could erect something if you really wanted to.

And as for my interview, went really well... but they called up Wednesday and said that they'd decided not to make an appointment right now, but that my presentation & interview had been excellent and that if/when they want someone I will be very welcome to apply! Humph! And Grrrrr... Oh well, more time for running games :)

Very good that you interviewed well, but disappointing that the appointment was delayed. Still, take it as a confidence boost that your skills are sharp.

I hope your job prospects improve soon. Good luck.


Sorry about you not getting the gig, Megan...that stinks. At least there was a small positive to take that you did well and would still be considered in the future. Keep hope alive!

Oh, and Kozaric, hope you do not mind 'the General" nickname, but it just seems so apt to Ironleg. If you don't like it, I will cut it out...

Liberty's Edge

Female Depemds on the game system (human in the real world)

Thanks, dear hearts :)

As I'm in education, being able to present well is essential, so it's comforting to be told that they have no suggestions for improvements... I am notorious for producing the sort of PowerPoints that keep the audience awake. Still, I am seeing at least 3-4 suitable positions within reasonable travelling distance and punch out the applications. Something will come up, 'ere long.

And if I get bored, I've been asked to write a PFRPG supplement for Raging Swan Press (blatent plug...), just a short one, a collection of stories and songs for those bard players who'd like to do more that roll dice and say "That's my Perform check"!


Level 2 HP 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4


Megan, of course this is a dumb question, but I am always confused by gaining 1/2 your hit die in hp. To me, I always assume that means half exactly plus con modifier, but most games I have been in take half to mean half plus 1 plus con modifier. So what do you mean by half, lol?

Liberty's Edge

Female Depemds on the game system (human in the real world)

Given that one of the jobs I've applied for includes teaching math as well as computing... I regard 1/2 your hit die in hp to mean exactly that, plus any applicatble Con modifier :)

And as a teacher, the only dumb question is the one that you do not ask!


Eroril has now leveled up. Most significantly, he has added a rank to spellcraft so now he can attempt to identify the magical items. I think I did the spellcraft check correctly in the IC thread, but if I made a mistake, please let me know. I'm still learning the ways of a cleric.


I'm feeling lucky.

Here is my second level HP roll:

1d8 ⇒ 5


Well I ain't scared!

HP roll: 1d8 ⇒ 7

That's because I took one for the team and got that 2 out of the way :P


Thats why I like you on the team, you keep using up all of the low rolls.

No I don't mind a bit.

I identified the wand as a Wand of Shocking Grasp, the scroll may be a Shrink Scroll and a spell book of some kind. I don't have any ranks in Use Magical Device so I can not use any of the magical items. I think Cavan is bard, perhaps he can.

The only thing I can use are the 10 bolts. If there is anything else on the list someone wants I suggest taking it. Otherwise I suggest selling the rest and dividing it up among the group. Zesuni's father invited me to his archery shop so I may get a good deal selling the light cross bow.

Just my 2 cp.


Ironleg doesn't really care for any of the stuff. I bet the bard could make usage out of alot of that, though.


There was a pair of bracers in the stack that needs IDing.


I think any of us could use the bracers. How do we want to decide on who gets them? We could do good old fashioned roll off, or just hand them over to someone.


I don't need it, so what ever you guys decide.


I have Hide armor so the Bracers won't help me since they don't stack.


Since Megan will be gone for a few days - perhaps we can use this time to sort out the gear. It doesn't sound like anybody is very interested in any of the loot. Shall we sell it and split the cash equally?


Up to you guys, we still haven't heard from Kurth though.


If no one else wants them, Ironleg will take the bracers. He's gonna be up front getting hit quite a bit.


I am good with you getting them, you seem to need some AC......


We seem to be a little stuck dividing up the loot waiting for Kurth. If Kurth isn't available soon, perhaps we should sell what we don't want, buy what gear we need, and then move on.

Megan - I assume the gear can be sold at 50%?

Liberty's Edge

Female Depemds on the game system (human in the real world)

Yes, that makes for simple bookkeeping.


If we do have to replace Kurth, I know another player who would be able to post regularly and mesh with the group well. Let me know if you want me to point him in this direction.

Liberty's Edge

Female Depemds on the game system (human in the real world)

If you think this fellow would be a good addition to the game, do ask him along by all means...


Thanks Megan, I sent him links to the discussion thread and main thread to bring him up to speed. He has the player's guide. He should be posting a concept in a day or two since he is traveling through Tuesday.


See if he has any interest in something arcane, Eroril. I think we could use a little more oomph in the magic department, IMHO.

As a suggestion, Eroril, see if you and your friend's characters can have something in common in your respective pasts - then as Eroril you'll have a reason to invite him to join the party.

"You bump in to your old schoolmate and mention this business opportunity...." :)

I can do that. I chatted with him briefly last night and he asked if he can post a character in a day or two since he is returning home today (Tuesday). I said sure. I will work on a story hook.


Male Human Philosopher 8/ Data Scientist 1

So I'm that guy that Eroril was talking about, I have a lvl 2 Wizard drawn up but I was wondering how much gp I should have, I feel a full 1,000 gp is significantly more then the other pc's. The solution I used was to spend about half of it on mostly useless stuff as I figured a wondering Wizard would have. But if there is something else the gm would like me to do I'd be glad to do it.
Also this is my first pbp so I hope you'll be willing to put up with some noobish-ness from me.


Welcome Acorn...glad to have you!
