The only thing I noticed was that I believe that you start with a score of arrows (20) not 24. Other than that, we are good!

Here's a tip for PbP: try filling the "Classes/Levels" line of your profile not with your actual race and class, but with an assortment of shorthand character info.
See all the gray text underneath my name? With that in place, the GM doesn't have to open up my profile in another tab to see whether his attack hits me, whether the damage drops me, what my save bonus is, and so forth. It's got benefits on the player's side as well: I don't have to open my profile to see what resources (HD, action surge, superiority dice, etc) I've still got left.
It's a huge help, both for the GM and the player. I highly recommend it. :)

You all may notice that I have a little "map" link under my name. I will be linking the battle map there, if it is needed. I will post our first foray soon!
Aeshuura |
Okay, gameplay is posted. Have fun, and I will pop in and out over the weekend to help move some conversations along and we will get into it on Monday!

A quick question...is this tavern located in Phelan? If so, would I know about it, having grown up in the town. Just want to know if I am familiar with the staff and have been there before....don't want to seem too knowledgable about a place I have never been.lol
Aeshuura |
Yes, this in Phlan. Generally, this place is popular with sailors and coming in off the Moonsea, but also with mercenaries. You also know Imizael (the barkeep/human woman) and Fat Mar (fat waiter), but to what extent is dependent on how often you frequent the place.
Raina Kai |
While he waits, Kairon tries to non chalantly listen to the conversation of the two female mercenaries and the two men talking in hushed tones.

No one sees you not hear anything.

I'm on my phone now so I apologise as this is probably covered somewhere on the site but are there roll macros and stuff like that for PbP?
No need to apologize.
Well, to roll a die, you would type this:["dice=Roll a die!"]"1dx+x"["/dice"]
Without the quotation marks, of course!

I seriously considered saying "Why are you wearing a mask? Were you burned by acid, or something like that?", but I think I made a reference to the same movie in a previous game with this character, and didn't want to overdo it. ;)

lol. Also, what movie was that? My first instinct is Deadpool, but im probably wrong
Aeshuura |
Ceidith, it's from the Princess Bride. Andre the Giant's character Fezzik.

One of my favorite movies. Book is even better, just don't read the unabridged version. ;)
Raina Kai |
FYI, Kairon can be a bit crude and or flirtatious lol. If I take his character too far let me know and I'll tone it down.
No, I think it works well for some good character interactions. Makes the game fun.

** spoiler omitted **
You would know of their past, but they no longer seem to have any further connection with the church. They seem to currently be simply the police force of Phlan in the absence of a real Lord. (As the Lord Protector recently died unexpectedly, the Knight Commander has stepped up to be Lord Regent.)
Aeshuura |
I will wait a bit to let you guys introduce yourselves, then we will proceed.
Aeshuura |
Yes you would have a way to signal each other. I do not know if anyone else is in our group, but you may post a spoiler for your faction, and they may respond in kind. The factions are supposed to be working together, so secrecy is more for flavor.
Aeshuura |
Yep, let me get some stuff settled here at work and I will post something in about an hour.
Thanks for your guys' patience!
Aeshuura |
Ander, what faction did you end up with? Was it the Order or Lords' Alliance?
Aeshuura |
The best explanations that I have heard for the Factions:
Harpers (Robin Hood-ish)
Lords' Alliance (NATO/World Trade Organization)
Zhentarim (Mafia/Organized Crime)
Order of the Gauntlet (???)
Emerald Enclave (Greenpeace?)
Aeshuura |
Emerald Enclave for me. But you always have the option of not choosing an alliance.
Yes, that is always an option. Though without a faction, you may not benefit from Faction Charity, which will bring your character back to life for free from lvl 1-4 (but you gain no benefit from the module).
But it is all up to you.
Oh, and also, Ander, you may also spend 10 downtime days to craft potions of healing instead of buying them, since you have proficiency in herbalism kit. (In case you don't want to spend the gold.)

This weekend, I won't be able to post. I am flying to a neighbor island to watch the Acquisitions Inc. show at the Fathom event on Sunday. I will be back to post on Monday. Have a nice weekend, folks!
Raina Kai |
Was there something you wanted to say to the guard captain? I'm sure the GM will rewind the scene to add In your question and get some answers to you. That's the only scene we've skipped ahead on right now due to players not posting in one of the 24 hour periods we're supposed to post in.
I mean, it's pbp. We either have minor jumps in time as people post questions to scenes we've passed up, or we delay game waiting for people to post outside of the time limit they agreed to post in.
I'd rather have minor backtracks than to completey delay the game while everyone waits - because we don't know if we're waiting for just another couple of hours or if we're waiting for another couple of days. I've done the whole "wait for the last guy to make a post before moving on" thing, and when they're not posting on schedule, it kills PBP games.

Have fun.
Since everyone else posted their factions, I guess I'll just post mine. Ceidith's part of the Zhentarim, though, once he finds out what happens to his buddies (they quit) or it takes to long, and none of his superiors help him, he'll quit, and maybe join the Harpers
Aeshuura |
Sorry Grigor. In the PbP medium, I can always retcon to include your question or interaction. I understand that some people cannot post all the time, and often will accommodate those players. If you still feel you would like to drop out, I understand, but I just want all of you to have fun while not having this take a full month (or longer).
