nightflier, you really have bad luck with lousy ISPs in your country.
I'm still here.
Definitely still here.
Accounted for. Still interested.
Present.
I am definitely around. It is going to take plenty to chase me away from any of your games.
Huh....looks like the forum ate another of my posts a few days ago..
Still interested, I'll get a new post in today.
I always copy the text, then send, and refresh the page to make sure the post went through. If not, I just paste and resend if again with a refresh. I had it a few times the post does not get recorded.
I'm still here, just.. not a lot for Eadfaas to do, at the moment, besides watch the rear flank.
Yeah, I'm here as well.
Just a heads-up: I'll be away for most of tomorrow, so no posting from me. DM, please bot me if it becomes necessary.
Starting tomorrow 12-22 I will be unavailable till Thursday 12-26. Merry Christmas everyone!
Are we waiting for more to post?
I think we are waiting to see whether Alan's sunder attempt against the manacles is successful here.
I'm cool to play.
I am willing to play through the holidays.
I vote for playing as well.
I can post every day into January.

About the blade - this is a unique sword made out of obsidian. It is a bit longer than regular bastard sword. It can not be used in one hand, unless you burn a feat or trait that allows you to use larger weapons than your size. It deals 2d8 damage to both S and M creatures and it has critical range 18-20 with x3 multiplier. The use of the blade is not covered by any existing proficiency. In order to use it without -4 penalty, you'd need to burn a feat Exotic Weapon (Obsidian Sword). Now, the blade is magical. It can cut the "dear iron" as if it was paper. "Dead Iron" is iron (or steel) not in contact with living being. Therefore, the blade could cut the chains, but not the iron cuffs that are in contact with your skin. Wielder of the blade is instinctively aware of this ability. The blade perhaps has other abilities or perhaps it can be enchanted. You don't know that yet. You'd need to examine it with both extensive use of Knowledge skills and magic.
The blade is black and the hilt is slightly curved elk horn. I suggest googling "obsidian blade" and "elk horn hilt" to gain the impression of the sword.
Continuing is ok with me :)
Merry Christmas by the way !
Continuing is fine with me too, though we should try to be patient with others given the holiday.
Happy holidays, everyone! I'm good to play most days as well.
@Yardiff, in Midnight setting the "common" language does not exist. in it's place the closest would be "trader's tongue", or language of human region or tribe. Perhaps change it to "empire tongue" to indicate you come from another continent.
In Midnight, "Common" is the "Trader's Tongue," which is actually Gnomish. I'm finding it amusing that my Gnome is acting and speaking more like a halfling, so far. :-)
Anwyn has been speaking Trader's tongue to everyone who she is not familiar with (everyone except Lantesh and Alan), which is what I assume everyone is doing. I imagine there is quite a bit of pantomiming as well, he he.
Rÿarkaelin has actually been speaking Erenlander or pidgin jungle mouth - I suspect a lot of pantomiming is in our future...
Eadfaas speaks Gnome/Trader's, and Halfling (among others). Between those two, he can make out almost everything anyone but Yardiff Bey says, due to language overlaps.
But yeah, pantomime and loud, slow talking. ;-)
Also, I've been careful to indicate what language(s) Ead has been speaking as he speaks them.
I return!

Guys, I'm gonna add a bunch of new talent and feats in the next week or so. You are free to rebuild your characters in minor or major ways after I do that. After that, you'll get an opportunity to rebuild or change them again at 5th level.
In the meantime, does anyone want some specific info for their class or race?
I think any additional info for the Varyag would be cool. I would expand the backstory for Lantesh with it.
Some background information on the Shadar elves would be useful. Even though Anwyn is Elorg, she also has a Shadar upbringing which would make fleshing her background much easier.
@Anwyn, here is my shadar character Illiameyl Arabep. May have information that can help you. Also would know of your parents.
I fine with Heroic Path and Channeler (healer) build. Something to make plumekith heritage come out a little stronger as the adventure develops. See Strix for ideas as they happened to be similar. Think one of the new classes, Shaman (nature) if I think, had some interesting concepts.
Cool, I look forward to seeing what you come up with nightflier.
Being from the old Empire, I guess its a bit problematic expecting a whole lot of options regarding heroic paths, feats etc. If you have anything specific to the old empire, I'd love to see it.
As for languages, I've been assuming that the Common the Yardiff knows is specific to the old Empire, similar to the Courtier and Colonial branches of the Sarcosans language (unfortunately no Sarcosans here :) ) Even any Elvish he may know would probably be quite divergent from anything spoken here.
Nightflier, can I use an available language slot to learn the common variant native to this continent, over time?
Perhaps some demon and fell focused bonus feats, considering Therudrim's background is related to these creatures at the Aruun mountains. Maybe spell delivery via arrows feats. Just throwing in ideas.

As soon as you reach next level, you can learn any language that other members of the party are proficient with.
Do the characters have any idea what time of day it is? Or can they determine such once they reach the surface?
Eadfaas is small and sneaky. He's a good scout, so long as he doesn't actually have to notice anything. :-)
He's also probably the group's best translator for everyone but Yardiff Bey.
I suspect food will be a top priority once we're sure that the Fell aren't chasing us... sadly, unless it involves convincing some locals to sell to us, Eadfaas isn't a lot of help in the food acquisition department, either. *sigh*
Enjoy your birthday today.
That's right!
Happy Birthday!
