OOC.2.0

[Briggles]

Yeah...the other thread became too full of awesome. Use this newborn
seal of a thread to club your way through the game. Too much?!

[Leslie]

Sorry for not getting a post out yesterday. I was forced to move from cubical into a space with three others so I'm gonna get distracted at work a lot more. Grrr

My posting was my break time.

club them to have a larger workspace to yourself.  make sure to leave bits of the bodies out to mark it as your territory.  works every time :)

[Leslie Lock]

I've got myself tucked into the corner at least. If I remember to
bring in my earbuds I might actually get some stuff done!

[Don Alley]

For the record, the only thing Quentin SAID to Ass-spackling was the following. The rest was in-thought.

Keep in mind that the world is VERY racist.  Only the king's direct relationship with the group has spared it considerable issues for harboring non-humans.  While the elves and half-orc aren't going to be burned at the stake for loitering, they haven't yet stepped into a shop or inn that his majesty hasn't provided.  

Andrasticial's attitude was worse this time around, but his normal behavior should be a good indication of the level of racism that is typical.  Elves do feel better than all other races.  Humans feel superior, etc...  Your group is going to eventually work past these differences because you have a unique perspective after working with the other races.  Most communities don't intermingle.  Maidenshire, for example, was an entirely human settlement.

[Michael Briggs]

Time for that intro, Mike!  

*taps foot while waiting*

[Erek]

Keryth took offense when you said 'your mentor' and nodded at Keryth.
He felt he was being sarcastic and over reacted in true elven
fashion :)

[Michael New]

Hi,

I was waiting for some background context to work with...

What would you have me do now, my lord?

(Character sheet mostly done.  I just need to add some color.)

I really need someone to post the swashbuckler class, I can't find it
online and my phone let me download that link that was posted
earlier. No one in my city carries the books that I need either

[Loki]

To my knowledge there are no easily accessible links to the Tome of
Secrets version of the swashbuckler class online, though there are
links to homebrew designs, such as: http://www.pathfinderdb.com/character-options/classes/172-swashbuckler

Not sure if that specific 4Share link was the problem, or if it is
4Share in general, but here's all of the different links to Tome of
Secrets that they have:

This is the following day from the post in which he left.  I'm pushing posts out to get quicker posting instead of letting them be held back.  

[Michael New]

When Kethtril and the Lady arrive, who all is present to meet them?  What is the house like?

[Russ]

rough day to be introduced. lol

[rpgamer]

lol,

thread of previous evening, Angel departs without any contract
requests after talk with Karchok in back yard (finished with that
thread)

thread of previous night, Angel is promoted to Judicator (still
working that thread)

thread of this morning, Angel arrives just after elves and annouces
he's going to the market and solicits anyone else to go with him,
ignored, he observes the others and picks up Dras' map, now going to
see what Lady M has to offer before heading off to market (still
working that thread)

Kethtril, another lawful perhaps? lol

[Leslie Lock]

Then I didn't read it wrong. What your saying is that instead of
actually going to the market he followed Dras and Keryth into the
house and stuck around. I hadn't seen that he followed them into the
house.

OOC: I'm terrible with technicalities when it comes to following people.  20, 30 feet too close?  Knowing Tempus, he'll probably end up goofing up and being on little too much on the short side.

[Don Alley]

Tailing someone is an art. A buddy of mine worked narcotics as a policeman and told me some of the stuff they'd pull.

Distance is a function of how busy the street is and how aware the target is.

Give-aways are being too intent on the person, looking at them all the time, stopping when they stop, and reacting quickly if they somehow look up abruptly, etc. Recognizability is an issue as well.

If they have a long way to go, staying dressed the same way can be a detractor, especially if it's a bit on the easily-identified side. A reversible cape or cloak would help "refresh" the follower's look so that the target doesn't form as many visual patterns.

Quentin would be glad to coach you in off hours.  =)

[Don Alley]

In game terms, I used to DM it as a cat and mouse game of stealth v perception (you're using the crowd and the environment to remain inconspicuous), bluff v sense motive(you're tricking the target into thinking you are a part of the environment), and disguise v either perception or sense motive (if isolated as a follower, what do you tell that target about you).

[Andrew Airmet]

How about if the follower is simply too shy to move up to walk with the person?  :D

[Don Alley]

Ahh teenagers in love....

Heh heh, Michael Westin is who I'm modeling Quentin off of.

It's an awesome show.  To put that in perspective, I watch only that show and No Ordinary Family regularly.

Some elements of his name indeed lol:

KEryTH seTRiL

[Michael New]

And Kethtril is also Elven, meaning "Wind Dancer".

Keryth might find that interesting, since Kethtril is human.

If it's too confusing, you could always call him by his last name, Smithy.  Or Mr. Smithy  :-)

Wait, who dissappeared? Come back and Shyam can have a private
counseling session with Angel in her room. I'm sure he'll help her
work out all her frustrations. Don't want to be with adults? He likes
to role play too. Maybe show her what he learned from those wild bard

Mike, need to know if Shyam still has some of her abilities or not.
Don't want to mess something up here :-)

[Michael Briggs]

I'll address Leslie's question in email tonight.  I'm almost done with the character map for her.  Angel can return from the market at any time he sees fit.  A post about his exploits is always good. Please make sure that all money spent is removed from the character sheets.  I noticed a few haven't been edited.  I'll forgive as we are all updating sheets.  

Mike New, my bad about the poor intro on your name.  You are sitting there, probably bored out of your mind or hitting on the slightly better than plain looking girl who works in the house.  

[Andrew Airmet]

Quite the firey couple, eh?

Intimidate check at +6 if necessary.  Not sure if him running influences the check at all, maybe it could be considered a charge?

[Don Alley]

Quentin's checks would be:

• Knowledge(Local) to know which street to best go down to intercept Shyam.   Quentin is +14 in this skill.
• Disguise to alter appearance.  Quentin is +24 in this skill using the Hat of Disguise.
  
• Perception to re-acquire Shyam and follow her. Quentin is +14 in this.  There may be a bonus based on the Knowledge(Local) skill that let me choose the best route and increase my chances here?

[Leslie Lock]

I'd like to point out, she's not running. She's mearely stalking away
at a slightly quicker pace.

[Andrew Airmet]

Oops.  Mis-read the post.

[Bob G.]

That boy has some serious anger management issues...

Just so I understand, the new chapter will be the arrival at Narshall?

Nope.  You have a lot of travel to make it there.  Many encounters and levels to be gained!

[Don Alley]

And loot. Don't forget the loot.

[Russ]

should I just keep using Teenagers Flight thread to continues inside the house?

[Andrew Airmet]

And tasty tasty souls.

[Don Alley]

Quentin will not make his presence known, and will not enter the library.  He'll just hang back and case the place, keeping track of who's coming and going, and ascertaining if any of them appear to be a threat.

After that, he'll tail them back and make sure they stay OK.  After an hour, he'll return to the house himself.

He will also hope that the library has a picture book section so Tempus doesn't get too unruly.

I'm cool with saying that Shyam makes it to the college, does her
research using Tempus as her book slave so she wont have to carry
anything.  He can probably carry what, 6, 7 books at a time for
her. :-)  Wasn't sure if her other 'protector' was going to make is
presence known or not.

She'll actually be her charming self if she runs into anyone she's met
before, enjoying that they aren't waiting for her to cause the
destruction of the world and all that possibly getting the oppertunity
to talk about things that are all doom and gloom.

At the house, she'll spend as much time as she can away from the
others.  She's going to be doing a lot fo soul searching regarding her
powers over the next couple and as we begin our travels.  Other than
Karchock and the maid, she's not going to be real receptive being a
typical moody teenager.

[Andrew Airmet]

I'm fine with that as well.  Tempus would be glad to help, but he's not going to call attention to the fact that he can't read.  (It's pretty hard to play a character that can't read.  grrr)

Tempus seriously needs a hobby.  He's going to get pretty bored sitting around the house for a few days.  Maybe the library will let him check out a picture  book.  :)

[Russ]

"Excuse me, sir? The picture books are in the young child's section."

[Don Alley]

Which is clearly label by a sign written in Common...

[Andrew Airmet]

Precisely!

[Russ]

  Maybe he'll find a copy of one of Salazar's medical texts.  Sure it may look and read like an original Grey's Anatomy, but...... okay, I have no real upside for that one

More coming in the Final Preparations post.  This is going to be a rush.  On Friday, I'll post the first leg of the journey.  Any unanswered questions should be handled here.  We will also work out the problems with character sheets that haven't been submitted. Year end for my company, so time is short.

This weekend I'll be finalizing all characters in Hero Labs.  To move the game forward, the characters that aren't submitted will be transfered over to Pathfinder using my best judgment.  I have worked with Leslie, whose character is the most difficult to transfer considering the uniqueness of it.  She has understandably had the hardest time porting Shyam because of this.  Erek lost a computer, so we have scheduled time tomorrow to work together to port his character.  

The only characters I'm missing are Angel and Cal'Shir.  If you have completed these, and I'm just not seeing the update, then please let me know.  Please repost the link to your character sheets on Myth-Weavers.  All characters are required to be submitted through Myth Weavers.  I don't want to get in the habit of running to a bunch of excel character sheets that are hard to track and read.  Its quite simply unmanageable and tedious.  I'll make a new thread with the character sheet info in it.

[James Kolasinski]

Bit swamped here, sorry for delay in completing Angel's mythweaver form. Out of town this weekend so may have a tough time finishing up, but hey, will give it a go.

A Deathwalker is in in-story term for Necromancer.

[Leslie Lock]

Ok, the discussion of our loot was brought up during one of Lady
Marie's visits, but then things got pushed forward so I'm wondering if
we can resolve some of this OOC.

This was the split that Angel had given us:

"After pausing for any comments, the priest continues, "Here is our
current stash. Coins need to be reminted to be usable or bartered off
for a loss, 523 GP, 34 SP, and 112 CP. I'm sure this can be done in
Calsham. It's the capital afterall, not at all like the trading post.
There are also a long sword of lightning, staff of water creation, a
ring of protection +2, old morning star, and some mining tools. Some
miscellaneous jewlry was exchanged to identify the magical items.""

This was for the original crew. I don't think we found out how much
reminting would cost.

[Don Alley]

Quentin expresses an interest in the Ring of Protection +2, and suggests the group determine what might be a fair way to work towards ownership of it.

D

[James Kolasinski]

On Tue, Mar 22, 2011 at 9:40 AM, Leslie Lock <lalo...@gmail.com> wrote:

 

The reminting was included in the current value of the coins, but we would lose more value if we bartered or sold the the coins for something else.

 

Angel was going to the market to exchange the coins to be reminted and sell the old morningstar and mining tools. Those funds would be divided with the original group, less Shyam or another didn't want their share.

 

I think Quentin expressed interest in the ring, but other than Angel, no one else responded, so he plans to sells it along with the staff, unless he can get a better deal trading them for healing wands and supplies.

 

I think CalShir wanted the long sword, which was okay with Angel, but again, I don't remember anyone else responding, so he will just get it appraised for selling for now.

 

 

 

 

[Michael Briggs]

A few things:

Wealth for the Maidenshire group, with the exception of Angel, hasn't been very important.  The town thrived using bartering and neighborly attitudes.  I'm glad to see that the players haven't become greedy.  This makes it easy to give so much to the group.  You are welcome to change this however you see fit, but the current setup seems to be working great. There is no surprise that Angel is holding the wealth.  This doesn't include people not originally from Maidenshire.

The Final Preparations thread is closed.  New post coming later today.

Mike, DM

[Don Alley]

Quentin isn't going to like having one person being his money holder. Just the fact that he might need money for something is information. And Quentin doesn't like to give out information without getting something in return.

I know this is an in-character conversation that will take place one day soon...

If he senses it may help him integrate into the group he may go along with it, but that'd be the only reason...

[Michael Briggs]

The coins can be reminted (read exchanged) for 90% the value.  The items can be sold at 60% their book value.  This is a good price reflected by a decent diplomacy check on Angel's part.

How you sell/exchange/divide the gear is entirely up to you.  This gear is applicable to Karchok, Keryth, Shyam, Cal'shir, and Angel.

[Leslie Lock]

Shyam would be cool with using her share towards a healing wand/s.
And would even make note that she's capable of using it.

[Russ]

  Karchok doesn't really care about wealth, his share goes to Shyam for the most part, unless there happens to be some kind of druid doo-dad or something that would help him keep Shyam alive

[James Kolasinski]

Angel has some additional items to sell in the market, like his previous armor. 60% of purchase price on these too?

 

 

[Michael Briggs]

Yup.  You diplomatic genius, you!

[Don Alley]

So is Quentin getting the Ring of Prot +2 or no?

If there is a discussion about selling loot beforehand Quentin will speak up on the matter.

[Leslie Lock]

Shyam wouldn't have any problems with it, he did offer to repay us
over time for it so why not let him have a little more protection.
Means he can on the front line a little more.

[James Kolasinski]

Others (majority) needs to speak up or Angel will sell it.

 

Also, speak up if it's okay for Cal-Shir to have the longsword (shocking), or someone else, otherwise, Angel will sell it.

[Don Alley]

Why?

[James Kolasinski]

Angel wants a concensus on what to do with the ring (and sword) so he's not seen as dictating or controlling but supportive of group as a whole. He would have mentioned that group items not used in support of the group should be exchanged for something that is or split up between the owners.

 

He has already stated his support for the ring to go to Quinten and sword to Cal'Shir provided they support the group and/or earn it.

 

Ofcourse, all reasonable private offers to Angel will be entertained.
