I'm sorry to hear about the ER trips, MDT. I hope you and your wife are doing better now. :(
Wilhelm I think you are doing a bit to much for the surprise round
I'm back to the land of the internet! Going to bed now, how many days in-game would it take to return to the Capital and then fly back as a bird? =)
Just itching to make an attack roll... :)
You know what kills trees... fire. You know what kills spiders... fire. You know what kills fire elementals? Neither foes Shimmer... but she will burn that bridge when she comes to it. :)
2 weeks... and now 4pm... but i have internet back... just in time for the long weekend to try and catch up to everything i missed.
Thanks for not leaving me in the dust :P
Now, if the Nixie is just as happy to see us again even Dante might feel less inclined to strangle the fey :P
We don't actually have that much information on Varn, sadly. It might be that either one of our old spymasters managed to find something out- but they are sadly not with us at the moment (well...).
As for his previous exploits, Varn gathered the local centaur tribes for a parley then simply slaughtered them. The remaining centaurs wasn't all too thrilled about that, so they are now somewhat hostile towards us humans ... :P
The nixie seems happy. Anyone charismatic wanna chat her up and poke her towards our side?
Could be useful to have some fey liking us :P
We were doing a quick exploration sweep to survey the last patches of kingdom when we were sidetracked by this side-quest.
Most likely, we should probably complete our sweep and return home so that we can take care of our administrative duties : )
(And let those with other side-quests turn them in - and introduce Gorruum and Ikit to our home. Should be fun :P)
With the comming release of Pathfinder Unchained will you allow to retrain into the newer version of the rogue? I do we keep it as it is now?
Ikit wants to see where he lives... unless the gold looking lizzard keeps exploring :P

I'm good either way. Split up or together.
Splitting up will likely speed up game play, as there will be less waiting. On the other hand Rowan hasn't posted recently (possibly my fault, I just realized he posted on 4/1 and I missed it). I've sent a PM.
I'd say splitting up sounds best - in game it sounds like we should hurry up and get our thing straight and out of game it can be sorta messy with so many in such a large pile .P
I'm still around. Sorry, I should have asked again about travel times for Rowan.
Glad you're back. :)
Ok, so, two teams.
Five each.
If I might suggest, I'd suggest pairing people up based on overall posting rate? That way the slower posters are more comfortable with a slower rate, and the high volume posters are also comfortable? I'd leave it up to you guys which group you fall into, but it might be a good way to divide it up?
Are you going to continue with the exploration? And if so, what routes is each group taking?
I think it's a good idea to split, with less people it should speed up the postings as we don't have to wait for many people to post what they want to say.
I'm comfortable in what ever group I end up in
Well, I think it might be time once again for Will to bring forth his marked maps.
Hopefully, this time, we can complete the routes : )
As for group speed - I am not sure where I belong. I do tend to be somewhat quick, but then again, since I am in Europe, I also sometimes wakes up with 15+ unread posts ^^
Im in SA round about same as EU

I live in Western U.S. But I also come home to 15+ posts sometimes. I think it was because everyone posted that day. Some twice. :)
Group 1:
- Baron Wilhelm Orlovsky
- High Priest Anastacia Stormwing
- Head Treasurer Fhârn ??? (surname?)
- Natalie Saratov
- Gorruum
Group 2:
- General Dante Stormborn
- Rowan Gideon, First Marshal
- Citizen's Councilor Felicia Shimmerscales
- Ikit the White
- Corwen Surefoot
I tried to divide it up primarily on posting rate and secondarily on roles. I think it's pretty well done. The kingdom map has been updated with the desired routes. I wanted to push a bit east and west while also giving some breathing room around our second city to be at the Stag Lord's keep.
Also, to start the discussion, I think we'll need to figure out our leadership roles. We currently have open the following (Magister, Royal Enforcer, Spymaster and Warden). I think Ikit is a natural shoe-in for Magister, though he may have to fight Fhârn off with a stick. Gorruum makes a natural Warden, though I'm not sure it makes as much story sense. He could also be a Royal Enforcer. Corwen and Natalie both make sense as Spymasters. We could also potentially have an opening in the Diplomat position, if Lanya (as NPC) becomes consort or otherwise abdicates her role. Thoughts?
Looks like a good split to me. I'd lean a little toward Warden for Gorruum, at least based on the description. Of course, he could be a very intimidating Enforcer.
I did a little more messing around and made a spreadsheet as a result. I think it outlines what the roles should be fairly well. I removed Lanya as a Diplomat and gave it to Felicia. This frees the Councilor position for Corwen and Natalie can be Spymaster. Theoretically Lanya may then be the Consort, but that will depend on what MDT and I decide as far as character development goes. We'll see.
The way things were going with Lanya, I have no objects to her NPC being consort.
Ok, Wilhelm's group head over to thread A for your thread. Dante's group will stay here as group B.
Once everyone has checked in on their respective threads, I'll get a post up in each. (Working today or I'd do it now).
Head Treasurer Fhârn ??? (surname?)
What? You haven't memorized my hard to type/pronounce/use surname that I cleverly hid in my profile :P?
Its Uðrrúna ^^
I think Ikit is a natural shoe-in for Magister, though he may have to fight Fhârn off with a stick.
I wouldn't mind either role, but giving a stranger access to our treasury seems foolish. The only drawback I can see about staying Treasurer is that I eventually might have to spend my precious skill points on Profession (Merchant), but a properly crafted Headband might solve that : )
I do suggest that we call the Magister role 'Court Alchemist' or something, atleast IC, if/when Ikit takes it up !:)
And if Fhârn's stays our Treasurer, it is going to be so much easier to animate our entire stash of coins into a giant money golem/elemental.
For protection of the treasury of course.
Certainly not for 'teh lulz'. Nope.

Corwen would be quite happy as the Royal Enforcer if that makes anything easier... Having his alignment as N was intended to give him the opportunity to do the dirty work for the kingdom.
Not having played KM before, is there somewhere online I can look to get an idea of how those roles work?
Also, just to echo Natalie above,what are the chances of retraining our rogues to use the Unchained rules? I'd happily purchase the pdf just to be able to do that :)
The roles are just so the stats can be added to the needed rolls etc.
For ikit... no idea where he would fit in if he ever does get a roll in the kingdom

Yeah, just found the rules on d20pfsrd... Corwen would definitely be more useful as Enforcer, but whatever works overall.
Making a posting in all games I'm running and playing in.
For those who have noticed that the last 3-4 weeks I've been spotty and somewhat irritable, I apologize. There's a lot of work things going on, and also some RL things going on. As of this morning, the surgeons confirmed my wife needs a fairly serious operation, which is now scheduled for the end of the month.
I will continue to be here, but, especially toward the end of May, I'm likely to be very very spotty and cranky. Sorry in advance. Please bear with me.
If things get to the point where I need to place things on hold, I'll let you know, but I don't think it'll get there (assuming nothing bad happens).
Sorry to hear that mdt, best of luck to you and your wife.
I'll wish you well here too mdt =)
Sending positive vibes, I hope everything works out for the best with Mrs mdt.
Sorry all, things got complicated. Work and surgery moved up to Monday. Will post when I can.
Post in all games :
Wife's surgery got moved back a day (scheduling issues in OR). Surgery was completed last night, went smoothly, doctor very pleased with himself. :) Wife awake and says even with the pain from the surgery it's a night and day difference in how she felt before, so good news on that front. I'm afraid I'll be busy again today, but hopefully will be able to get all games caught up and going again by end of week.
Great news mdt. I think we've all been bearing your situation in mind. Give my best wishes to your wife, though it mightn't mean much :)
Secret messages are verbal sir. Sign language is just sign language.
Fair enough; just having a little fun...
Hope your wife has a speedy recovery, glad to hear the good news mdt =)
I should probably be pushing the group a bit. I'm here, been waiting on Dante and co to post.
Well... considering Felix is trying to interact with the tavern keep...
Sorry, I've been totally distracted by a whirlwind trip to France. I'll get into it the next couple of days, but I'm likely to be spotty for the next month or so; feel free to DMPC as needed.
Something came up. Not me a few days. :(
Well that should have said bot me not not me. Have a post up in a few hours.
For those interested, for 7 minutes Ikit can have +8 AC and have increased movement speed

Quiet day was quiet... >_> <_<
-Posted with Wayfinder
Sorry, part of that is me, and part of it is people being out sick. And others posting once a week.
How many people would be good with me pushing the posting rate? Botting people as needed?
I try to post as often as i can. But my work is random. So sure. Up it. And bot where needed
-Posted with Wayfinder
I am going into full summer break mode as we speak. There might be a few days of chaos or so, but then I'll probably be able to regularly check in and post at least 1/day : )
