I think that I am going to bow out of these games. The DM and I do not seem to be seeing eye to eye on a lot of things. Take care, everyone.
Aww. :( Sorry to see you go. :(
Thanks Corsario for the google map!
I have no idea, but the map is getting better and better - good job Corsario ;)

Sad to see you leave the BEST team Janus, hope to have the opportunity to play with you at another point in time.
I don't think so. Although I noticed that not only could I move my token, I could also move everyone else as well on the Roll20 map.
Using MapTools, I usually put up the coordinates A-Z on one side, 1-100 or whatever on the other axis. Then the players post which enemy they are attacking "Orc at F13", and post where they move such as "Run to B25", "5-foot step to F12". This way you, the DM, keep control of the map so that someone does not accidentally, hopefully not intentionally, move around tokens they are not supposed to. Also, you can make sure that people are moving the correct distance - 20', 30', ect. and that difficult terrain and the like is applied properly.
Just copy the images here, right from the Avatar, paste in the doc, resize them, and move them around as needed - done ;)
Edeldhur - I think he wants us to be able to move the tokens on the Google doc.
In that case, the map needs to be shared in a way it can be edited by anyone.
I think that he has uploaded the map as a PDF. I do not know if there are any editing capabilities. I know that GM Blood in another of my campaigns had an editable map he was playing with on Google Drive, but I do not know how he did it.
I'll say only this - I have seen AMAZING maps made out of simple Google Drive Spreadsheets - they are easy to build, you can add as much detail you want to with pics or simply colours and usual spreadsheet functions.
The character pics fit in seamlessly, and they are VERY practical.
Never used the Google spreadsheets for this, but heard others talk about it.
After some second thoughts and talking with Corsario, I have decided that I will infact continue with the campaign.
It also turns out that he was correct about eidolons not being able to take stuff back to their home plane; that was the original intent of the game designers. There is a paragraph somewhere that says just that. However, it is not in the PRD/SRD under the summoner or eidolon section, and I have yet to officially find it written up anywhere.
So Plan B. The most important stuff we can stuff in Neji's Haversack and have D-Man fly that and a few other things to safe location.
We are also dumping a bunch of high value items in the wagon and sending that south. The rest of us are trying to dissuade/mislead the forces that are coming. It is nice having you back as Neji should have good social skills being a summoner.
Here we go.
Google Docs Walk through.
Step 1. Create a new Google Draw file in Drive.
Step 2. Upload your map, clean. Don't have any tokens, monsters anything on it, that isn't a part of the non-movable terrain.
Step 3. Begin to upload tokens, sizing them correctly to fit your grid. Each token you upload will be on a different plane, creating layers for you, and making each individually moveable.
Step 4. Want a fog of war or effect image? Use shape, you can cover the map or areas you want with a shape, and if you want to reveal, you resize the shape or change the fill to transparency.
Step 5. Create a copy of this file and save it separately, in case something stupid happens.
Step 6. Share. Select the file, click on share, chose "Anyone with the link" Then change the permissions to "Can Edit" now any of us that click the map link can edit the map, moving our tokens, adding "area" affects as we want.
Also, I will be at Horse Camp this weekend with my daughter, I will have my iPad, but will not be posting a lot or any long posts. Feel free to GMPC me as you see fit Cosario.
Venetia, could you have charged? Or did you charge
If you would have charged, you would have gotten a +3 to your attack, putting your attack at 37, hitting the Tarn on the nose. Also you should have gotten a +1 to your attack from Haste as well.

I did charge, but Prayer was not included. Venetia's normal attack bonus is +10, +2 for charge, +1 for inspire, +1 for charge from danath, +3 for Weal's, +1 for haste, that's +18, prayer would have made it +19, I kept trying to find other bonuses, but I couldn't hit it with that roll.

Google Docs Walk through.

Thanks for the Walk through, I'll try...
Have fun at Horse Camp! If you can, tell me the "generic" actions Marius will do...
So, I just ate 6 of its AoOs, if it would take that many against me, so that everyone else has less AoOs to take.
Drew my route of 30 feet of movement on the roll20 map, every space I move out of should be threatened by that beast, as it apparently has 30 feet of reach.
So I don't fill the gameplay thread with useless rules crap lol.
First, in my opinion your rule is law so you can ignore the rest.
1. I attacked 1-handed. It's a longsword. With all the buffs up, plus my Smite up, that's the damage I do 1-handed. If I had attacked 2-handed it would have been +4 damage per attack.
I am trying to figure a way to help Marius escape. I can cast Grease on him, which would give a +10 to escape. I don't see a CMB on his sheet, but at level 7 with a +5 Str, I would assume his CMB is +12. Thus, the best I can do is a 41 CMB, not enough to beat the dragons insane CMD. Anyone else have any thoughts? Perhaps casting it on Marius will make the dragon have to make a reflex save to hold on to him like a weapon?
Danath and I had similar thoughts, hence the lack of posting at teh moment we were debating what our characters would do on our break today. =/
Don't worry Danath I moved you token, lazy punk a$$ :P
Are we using both maps simultaneously? Which one are you guys updating? I would also like to move Edeldhur.
Also, Corsario, any chance to have a link for each map in the Campaign Tab for ease of reference? :D
Last but not least, I am a tad lost on the initiative count, and not sure if I am missing any actions or...
|

Right now I am not updating neither :P
Still have to choose between Roll20 and Google Docs.
About initiative... As I see it:
-You go first, in the order you post
-After most of you have posted, enemies go
So it's like group initiative, but your order is post first-act first
Right now you attacked... Tarlaxian attacked... You are in round 2...
If the afternoon I will post Tarlaxian round 2,with whoever post, if someone doesn't post I will rule they Retreat too
I'll link the maps in the campaign tab, good idea
Any ideas on what exactly we should say?
You don't want Daliedhur to speak out, or there will be a combat for sure :D
We had agreed somewhat on what had to be said - Anando Verissi is the rightful blablabla, according to the document herein produced etc, etc?
We will hear your concerns when not backed by an army. We are a sovereign kingdom, and these resources are the property of that kingdom. History will not be on your side should you choose to take military action against us.
We are the representatives of the king and are here to protect the wealth and to move south to begin preparations for the nation. The King and our companions have left to discuss tactics and plan for the future of the nation in a location where they cannot be listened to.
Halcorg is not the best with social situations, unless they involve a large hammer. I am posting this here assuming that we would have arrived at some sort of a story before the arrival of the regent's troops. I need someone with a half decent diplomacy to do the talking.
Neji has +13 Diplomacy with Guidance active. Based on what I have read, that is the highest among the group or very close to it.
Should I mention what actually happened? Because based on the current context, it seems like that these soldiers' superiors heard a rumor and decided to act on that alone. Aside from Xi'Tir and Halcorg, nobody saw what happened. All anyone else knows is either that Rupert decided to meet with the leaders of the other groups and never came back or that Rupert just vanished into nothing along with the leaders of the groups. How that got twisted into "Rupert's most loyal servant murdered him so well that they never found a body and stole a big cart of treasure" must be an interesting story.
Also, do the cohorts get Hero Points?
Tell him the truth. If he has any questions, he is free to summon a warrant from the local magistrate - which will necessarily have to come from the Mayor of Restov who should have the letter from Rupert.
Tell him that the King and his advisors are currently meeting in an undisclosed location. Any rumors to the contrary are pure fabrications and should not merit the words use to espouse them.
If he has viable evidence that halfling is a thief or a murderer, they are welcome to bring it forth. Otherwise, he and his men should withdraw.

Answers:
- Yes, cohorts have 3 hero points too
- Let's say there is a cart full of money and no clear owner... Everybody will try to ever on the safe side, grab the cash and find out later
- It's now public knowledge that "something" happened to King Rupert and all the barons... And there is a black smoking hole in the ground... Put those things together
- Anando choosed his side... Yours... Many people won't ever forget him about that.
- It's very likely the "Stolen Lands" project will be officially delayed / suspended now that the chosen people is missing / killed
- NOONE will be OK with a bunch of cohorts going away with the resources... Except for said Cohorts :P
- Halcorg has a point... The "formal" way of doing is with documents and edicts... Not by cavalry captains "saying" He has authority... But don't doubt it... The documents will arrive in time.
np. :)

Sorry for the delay in posting... have been experimenting much and advancing little. And planning a complex attack for Talraxian that got changed for his breath attack... :P
But well, after this delay I hope we get this baby on tracks again.
A couple questions:
- Roll20 or Google Docs?
- How are you feeling the prelude so far? Anything you liked to change?
Please, I would love an answer of all 12 of you to know how to proceed in the future...
So if you get outside of that area of effect in the next turn, then you take no damage?
As for the cohorts group, it looks like it's "To arms!" then? I ask because my eidolon probably won't make it back for 10 to 20 rounds, so Ms. Neji Buffsalot Lazula needs to adjust her tactics.
@Neji
Well that depends. At the moment this Kesten has broken the rules of parley having entered into false negotiations while a white flag of truce was in place. At least this is how it looks from Seraph's point of view. He negotiated up until his troops arrived and the shoe was on the other foot. Now, through force of arms, he is pressing his advantage. Truce flag broken, honor lost.
Now if such rules of parley don't exist or at least the social acceptable version of the white flag isn't accepted in Brevoy/Corsario's. Which is acceptable as that is Corsario's world.
Now/Then it comes down to a matter of honor. Kesten (Per this Surovian noble) is labeling Anando a Traitor. Despite having written documentation that was created, penned, signed and sealed by Rupert Surtova's hand, cousin of the King of the Dragonscale throne. Which Kesten is blatantly disregarding and quite literally saying that Rupert Sutova, blood relative of Noleski Surotva, isn't trustworthy enough over said noble who is stationed in Restov. Which in turn he is saying in a indirect way the King Noleski is untrustworthy.
So as it stands three to four major affronts to honor are in need of addressing. The honor of the accused, the blatant breach of the white flag of truce/peacful parley through use of force and the fact he is labeling a three servants of three of the top noble houses as thieves.
Surtova, Medyved and Orlovsky. There is also the fact he is labeling a Knight of the Sword, a sworn member to Chivalry as a thief and demanding she surrender her weapons over false charges? Sorry, not going to happen and he should know better, but as it stands hes an oath breaking, dishonorable slanderer who has sullied not only his name, the reputation of his soldiers (who appear to be brigands in Dragonscale armor) but that of the Dragonscale throne ITSELF!
Nay theres no call to arms as here in a moment Seraph is going to demand satisfaction through hoof and lance when she slaps him upside his head with her gauntlet.
As it stands Anando could demand a duel and have someone fight as his proxy to prove his innocence in a Trial of Combat where those who lose are proven wrong and those who win are proven right by the divine. However he is too gutless to do so sadly, so Seraph is going to have to instead probably. Which at this point I don't mind as he has really insulted her.
Man I love politics. :)
He's been brewing on this all day. Why he enjoy's this so much I will never know. :P
Forgive him he's nuts...
I think the Roll20 is fine, but honestly I have used google docs.... - Roll20 it is. :D
I can't really think of anythig to change in the Prelude so far, nothing really comes to mind. :D
