This is the Out of Character discussion thread for the campaign. Most out of character discussion, such as questions about stats, rule's clarifications, or chit chat should be poster here, so that the game thread itself is more story and game focused.

Go ahead and check in and, when your character is done, post once in-character so I can look it over.

Okay, I was about to do this, but I just realized that my character is on the other computer

I mean, what possible reason is there to buy biscuit mix? And who would hire a gnome as a cargo-guard?

Scarab Sages

Male Human Expert 3/Cleric 3

I'm trying to determine where everyone boarded...
So far I have Arinka boarded the ship at Ilizmagorti on Mediogalti Island.
Janrose boarded in Magnimar.
Klania boarded in the Chelish city of Kintargo.
And Malchi also boarded in Magnimar.

Is that fine?

And what cargo is Malchi wanting to be transporting? And Merchant or Mercenary for Malchi?

Anything else I should know about any particular character?

Feel free to consult maps of the Inner Sea region. Here is a nice one for your convenience.

About knowing anything else about my character... My character is used to taking on two roles when transporting... transporting and being the doctor. He is a mercenary. What to transport? I didn't see a list of what there was to transport. Spices perhaps?

Probably not spices, though you could, if you really want; but you have to consider then where are they coming from and why are they going to Sargava? Remember that this is not cargo that the captain is in charge of, but is personal luggage or cargo belonging to you, the passenger.

Caleb is transporting religious texts for a start-up missionary effort in Sargava, sponsored by the temple of Erastil on Thistletop.

Scarab Sages

Male Human Expert 3/Cleric 3

That is, you are not in charge of all the cargo; just the cargo you yourself had brought onto the ship. You are not an employee of the ship; you are an independent agent carrying our your own personal business (or the business of whoever hired you).


M Gnome Animist 1

Ah, I see...
then i shall be transporting medicine and medical texts for regional disease. This fits my character better since he would be affiliated with such people.

Josh, Dad said at the beggining that you need to post out of character here. Dad could you post a link to the online dice somewhere here?

If you look at the box for typing text in, there is a little button beneath that shows how to format your text, and how to type in the text for the dice roller

About the maps, were would the colonies be exactly and what do you think would be a good placed to have a map of?

The colonies are Sargava, where you are going back to, after having spent some time in the "motherland" of Chelish.


can my map be of the colonies then?

It is not necessary for you all to put everything in spoilers, unless you don't want others to see what you are doing. The spoilers are being used by me to convey perceived information, but if you notice, when the group is acting together, I don't bother with them.


Male Human Paladin 1

okay


Male Human Paladin 1

Does anyone want me to recap on what has happened so far?


Female Half elf Rogue 1

Male Human Paladin 1

Have fun where-ever you are going!


I'm Back!


Male Human Paladin 1

Welcome back! we were gone most of the days you were to, so the game sort of paused.


Cold some explain experience dings to me?

Scarab Sages

Male Human Expert 3/Cleric 3

I'm being funny... is all

Basically, in game, you can get experience for completing various missions. You might not even know you are on one of these but succeeding will provide benefits...

In this case, it is possible to do things that win over the fellow passengers to your side. You all have done two of these.

Also, sorry for the slow down in my posting - I'm trying to finish up a book I am two years late on, have four adventures to write this month, vacation to prepare for, classes for preaching camp to prep, including writing test, five bulletin articles to get done, and 9 sermons. I should be good so long as I don't have to suddenly frame Gildor for some murder or other on top of all that, but May is shaping up as being full...


M Gnome Animist 1

Haha...


I see, LOL no big deal.
I'm still a little at a loss though. I suppose a better question would be: what different ways do experience affect our characters in this game?


M Gnome Animist 1

When our characters get enough experience they level up. Leveling up gives you new abilities (depending on what class you are) as well as more hit points and sometimes a better attack


Male Human Paladin 1

XP in 3rd edition also got messed with in a variety of complex ways, it was really streamlined in the pathfinder game


Female Half elf Rogue 1

leveling up is good. it allows my sneack attacks to become better, i do traps better, your skills get higher, all sorts of things.


Female Elf Arcanist 1

And if your a spellcaster you get more spells.


Male Human Paladin 1

We are back from origins... Roleplaying may resume.
