The Root of All Evil

Game Master Edward Sobel

important info concerning me

with Paizo new server update I may have lost access from work which will greatly reduce my posting ability.

I still have access at home, but not on my nook nor my phone anymore.

I have to check my work computer again when I get the chance but so far it didn't work.

Ok, this involves some math and guesswork.

An average quarter staff is 5-6 feet long.

If Mickey holds the staff at full length and leans over the pit with Conner holding his other arm for counter weight, could Reeves use the Fetch trick to climb across the staff and get the jars?

ok climb across: yes

fetch the jars: well, lets just deal with getting cross, then we shsll deal with the jars.... <evil grin>

ok I am asking everyone to check thier character stats.

certain things need to be readily easy to look up.

BAB
melee attack bonuses
ranged attack bonuses
saves
CMB
CMD
perception
initiative
AC
HP

many if not all of you have most of these but please check and update as required.

for example Mickey threw a rock and I need a ranged attack roll

but I have look at his dex figure out that bonus, then since is BAB isn't listed I have to go look up BAB for his class then do the math so I can determine what bonus to apply to a simple thrown rock.

Sorry. I didn't think he could miss hitting a barn wall. :/

Also, thrown objects still use "melee" rules. Firing Ranged weapons or slings is "Ranged."
Pretty sure, at least.

I'll add that as soon as I can. Youth goes from 4-11:30 tonight, but I'm off work tomorrow.

Also, nice use of the Diger. I used one in the first dungeon I made. :)
(Mickey's not bright, so no meta, though. :P)

Well Felix missed. How's everyone else for ranged attacks?

Mickey has absolutely 0 Ranged attacks. -_-

I'm picking up throw anything next that I'm able.

Leaving this morning for a week of Scout camp with my son. The place has spotty reception but I will try my best to keep posting. feel free to bot me as needed.

I'm here. Connor is busy at work. He hasn't posted in other games, and I think it's his turn before mine. :)

Prime week at Amazon was awful, sorry guys.

I seem to have regained posting access from work, but this weekend I will be at the Renaissance Faire

I may be able to post some but not much

After reading the rules I've found that it would take me 2 rounds minimum to make it across and I can hold my breath for one round (alternatively if I swim slower I can make it in four rounds but only hold my breath for two)
If I can pass two DC 10 swim checks and a DC 10 fort save I'll be ok, but if I fail either of the swim checks I'll have to take progressively harder fort saves and I'll have to take more
On the swim check I have to roll a 6 or lower to fail, and (if I only have to make one) I have to roll a 1 or two to fail the fort save, and I have a 1/day reroll,
If I do fail any of the fort saves I go unconscious and start to drown... Let's hope the dice gods like me

heading out for the weekend with no access to the boards....will be back on Monday

Quick note to say where I have been...

spent the last two days moving my son to NYC in his new Dorm at college. been long hectic couple of days.

tomorrow I may need some rest I hope to get caught up more late tomorrow.

I am sorry about being silent.

No problem
I've been dealing with personal stuff lately too after totaling my car and desperately working to keep my job despite that (first car wreck and hopefully my last, insurance statistics figure that I'll likely not have another till I'm about 35)

ok all I would like to resurrect this game and taking a roll call of who is still here.

Present.

Hi.

I actually just finished getting my affairs in order after my wreck so I'm good :)

Still here.

cool. I do apologize for everything and thanks for sticking with this.

I will get a post up shortly and move things along as best I can.

Also with my change in access at work I will only be post lat night and weekends. (well unless I am out doing family things), but I will try and get a post out as often as I can

Here.

The jars don't have lids. If they did, you'd need two people with Mage hand, as the lid and jar would need to be controlled separately.

Hey guys. How do you feel about Felix sneak attacking the gnolls? He'll try to pass a secret message to everyone before doing so.

They haven't done anything to us yet. Honestly, Mickey won't be too happy... Sorry. :(

They massacred an entire lizard village! And they're gnolls! :)

I the player wouldn't care. Tatsuo the lawful aligned character might.

On a side note, he totally intends to uphold our side of the deal, but he wants a copy of everything before we hand stuff over. Or he potentially wants to hand over the copy of the map rather than the actual map.

*Play CG Gnoll character in other game.*

Because of class restricitions, Mickey is LN, so until they do something to him or his, he isn't going to go around chopping heads off.

Have we even checked to see if they're evil? They could be doing this against their will or been spellbound by the witch.

I hate black and white morality, more so when it isn't Outsiders who can actually be born evil or good. Outside of them, morality is learned, and so far these gnolls have only done what they've been told by someone obviously in power over them, so we can't just assume because they have spots, ears, and tail that they are evil.

I don't know about the gnolls specifically, but I think we asked Conner to Detect Evil on the other group (so at the very least, the people the gnolls obey. Don't remember if the gnolls were also included in the scan). He didn't say anything, which Tatsuo took to mean "They probably detect as evil and str therefore strong enough to kick our asses."

Because he is going to speak all the elemental languages eventually.

Just a note....

Hurricane Joaquin may have an impact in my area this weekend. not sure what will happen, may loose power may be completely fine. we shall see.

I am working on the set-up for the liberation of the Lizardfolk village. sorry for the delay

Stay safe DM.

updated the xp tracker in the campaign tab. should be all caught up and should put you pretty close to level 3

I have a con all day today may not be able to post

Have fun dude

Hey guys. Any other decision to be made? I don't think we can plan too much in PBP :)

My plan is to hit people with my sword in order to prevent them from hitting you guys with swords.

Mickey's not much of a planner. More of a doer, or a "takes directions"er.

Tatsuo doesn't think we can plan much more without having more intel. So he's fine moving forward.

sorry all, been working lot of hours.

I will try and get a post tonight and move to the lizardman camp.

I really am having a lot of stuff going on, I have not abandoned this game but I sometimes it feels like I have.

So Connor then gnolls then me?

yes also del goes before the gnolls

Mickey, I forgot, you can go in the surprise round before the gnolls.

So you have either a move or standard action plus a swift or immediate right now.

hey all, I am in Florida right now, I am sorry but sun and palm trees and such is a little more enticing than the game right now. but I can probably post tonight I have wifi at the hotel.

Enjoy yourself DM.

sorry folks, PC is on its death bed so I'll be phone only for a while....

@ del: Conner gave you a CLW for 9 hp back

Personal computer or player character?
The former makes more sense in context

oh I read that as del will be prone for a while..

I feel like a real heel now.
