Well there are plenty or real-world cultures where the hunter uses animal poisons as hunting tools (but then the real-world doesn't have Good, Law, and Evil as universal forces).
You forgot Chaos, though techniclaly the realworld is far more chaotic than people will admit.
Ugh... Worst rolls
I'll prep my charge lanes now then shall I? ;)
Haha. Probably a good thing to do. If we're lucky we'll get a follow up before anything crazy happens.
At least we aren't sitting around the table. I guess in PbP you can split the party up without it ruining it for the rest. Gives me time to get my course work done, eh? =)
I'm just waiting to see if Kressel tries to eat Bronwyn.

She's not a cannable-ohhhhhh I get you. Well said sir, well said.

Who knows either they'll f@*+ up their bluff rolls or she'll f~!@ up her sense motive.

Lol! Well Ganit will sit pretty and let the golden boy soak up the spotlight. I'm pretty excited to see how this goes. Is excited the word I want? No, TERRIFIED!

I'm surprised you guys got this far. I was certain they would have some sort of thieves cant or 'password.' Maybe they are playing along and conducting some counter-intel operations. Hehe, if you guys roll really well maybe you can convince her to take a walk with you... right into the rest of the group ;)
Just so you know, I have applied for the Fortress of the Serpent Folk campaign. I realized earlier today that you are playing in that campaign. If you would not mind having me involved in another campaign with you, please put in a good word for me.
The character is Zyngeth Fleetfoot - although I may change the name as I don't like it much.
Thanks
Aaaand the dice were cast. Either it'll work wonderfully or I'll end up as dinner for the woodsmen bandits. Just hope they suffer a indigestion.
Sorry about that guys, didn't mean to divide the group but it seemed a good idea to at least give it a try.
No problem, I love it. Nice roll on the bluff too. You'll have to clue me in quick if she does come to us.. I have charm person as well.
I think you did exactly what you're character would do, I've no objections at all.

No problem. I really don't have an issue with it in PbP, and like I said, I can just go off and do something else. I hope you'll give us all the same latitude if it comes down to it later on =). Nice roleplaying by the way.
Err, I'm actually thinking things as I go along, but my half-assed plan was to get her and some few guys out of the camp, so we could face them away from the others. I mean, I have no idea how many people are at the camp, it may be 5 it may be 20. This way we may fight them outside their comfort zone and with their numbers divided.
Technically, we could all play along, and bring all of them towards olegs and take them out from inside. It could be a sweet inside job :D
However, we'll probably have to take them all out now, and it will be sweet too :D
I'm hoping I can get a Council of Thieves game going. Thread is up in recruitment if anyone is interested.
I'd say making it up as you go along is good roleplaying too. Happy to see Bronwyn in his element (and Ganit out of his).
Cambyl - I'd love to join your CoT but I just signed up to another pbp yesterday morning and I'm thinking that 2 is my max for online games. Good luck! I'm sure it'll fill up quickly.
Cambyl, can you post the link to the CoT recruitment thread? I do not see it.
Ugh, the tension is killing me!
Never mind, thread should be there now. Didn't realize the boards had changed.

Yep - I was wondering why I could never find any new games, just realized they had created a new thread last week.
Hey Aron, want me to toss a Diplomacy check to convince the Kressel lady to come with us?

Bron - I do not know how DM Aron works, but generally if you think you might need a roll, just type it in and post it. If you do not need it, the DM will tell you, but if you do, or sort of do, then it greatly speeds up the process and the DM does not have to keep reminding people to make rolls.
Oh, crap, Ganit... although I hope your failure to aid Bron doesn't hurt his own exceptional bluffing to this point :D
Aid another is just a +2 to the check. I'm crossing my fingers that it doesn't cause any negative repercussions. We're in the hands of our GM now...
I should have just not posted. Curse my 1-post-per-day requirements!!!

LoL, I'm pretty sure a failed assist gives negatives, but it can't be over -2... hopefully its not enough to let the cat out of the bag. Luckily Bron rolled really high.

Will have to be a good diplomacy roll to convince her to come along and bluff to make it not sound suspecious.
That's Bron taking one for the team.
Daaamn... When I posted the rolls, I almost soiled my smallclothes. I got a 2 on both checks. Turned out I had rolled a 1d2 instead of a 1d20. *phew*

Hehehe. Maybe Ganit can assist with bluff again? =P
My social assisting days are over. Unless it's intimidate and we have plenty of apples to play William Tell with.
See ya soon (hope so)
We'll see you soon Bron. For better or worst. Roll a few Constitution checks to see how well you do with Kressel and maybe you'll shift her... alignment? HAY-OOOOOOOOOOO!!!

I just did an extensive search. You are right Ganit. I'll have to put up a fight the next time my local GM penalizes us for assisting each other.
It's a common enough houserule though. I use it myself. On 4e I also up the DC of the Aid Another check to a 10 + 1/2 level.
I allow the +2 for succeeding but don't bother penalizing for failing the roll. I figure either the main roll made it and the others just didn't help, or the main roll failed and it was because nobody else really helped. Of course I also house rule that whomever rolls the highest is the main and the others assist unless the party specifies otherwise.

I don't bother to penialize on an assist. It just means you didn't manage to help and in the state of bluff it's not like your character would suddenly act like a Paladin and say "we're lying, we actually killed Happs and the bandits and we were here to attempt to plan your demise." so just saying you sail to assist is fine.
9 on 6 is better than 12 on 6. Now we just have to figure out how to actually ambush them. In the terrain we're dealing with, will we see this group leave the camp and head towards us?
Hooray! A nat 20 on a social check. I'm not utterly cursed anymore. *clicks heels in the air*
Eight? *gulp*
edit: At least it's better than 12.
Sadly I didn't get to shift her alignment. Too bad, Kressel, I would've rocked your world.
Side note: I actually pity her a bit. She's got the whole victim of the environment going on.
Once we have the kingdom started, you can always take the roll of Chief Spy - I am sure that requires some undercovers work.
Sadly that doesn't work mechanically. I checked the Player's Guide and that position uses Dexterity or Intelligence (where I have a 12 in both).
So we have a dumb clumsy chief spy - could be worse, we could have a king without a personality or a weak military.
12 is still above average, hes neither dumb or clumsy... :)
I think we should fill all the roles with substandard/low abilities. Then we could name our land Disfunctia.
cough *Canada joke* cough
;D
