Tasha (https://www.myth-weavers.com/sheets/?id=2853971) who will speak in purple

[Yas392]

Posting sheet for Damien (https://og.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=2854157). He will be speaking in Green.

EDIT: Due to DM request, Damien will speak in Bolded Dark Green.

Danner will speak in Blue

[Metastachydium]

And here comes Muret Nistra (https://www.myth-weavers.com/sheets/?id=2854239), mechanically all done. Will adda picture soon-ish. Not sure what to do on the colours front, though. Will have to go custom, most likely. Not many darks around.

[DarkOmens67]

Are we waiting for anyone? Ftr, Cleric, Mage, Rogue. I think that's it unless someone snuck in on me.

Meta, the color you used for your character's name is fine.

Was waiting for Paladin response. I might as well post after this question.

Do our characters know each other?

Yes, you all have spent a couple months traveling with a caravan to get here. So there was time to get to know each other. You are still level 1 because no creature in their even half witted mind would have attacked such a large caravan.

Jherek Redmane (https://www.myth-weavers.com/sheets/?id=2854443)

Will speak in Dark Red

[Phyzor]

Any feedback on the sheet DM? Or anyone else for that matter :)

Wizard. 2+Int x 4= 16+4=20

Ruud. Class skills are Concentration (4), Craft, Decipher Script, all Knowledges (you have arcana 4), profession, and spellcraft (4). Your sheet has. 2 points in Move Silent (cost 4) and Use Magic Device (cost 4).

Wizards can use Magic Devices so no need to put points in that. (Mostly for rogues and bards)

HPs should be 6 (D&D 3.5 HD for Wizards is d4), I think 4ed changed that to d6.

[DarkOmens67]

Jherek Redmane (https://www.myth-weavers.com/sheets/?id=2854443)

Jherek looks good.

[Metastachydium]

Cool. It goes well with her hair.


(Mostly for rogues and bards)

(And especially Warlocks, but we don't talk about them here. In 3.0, I think it was Bards only or somesuch, to the point that others couldn't buy ranks in it at all.)

(And PF1 helped popularize the concept.)

Meanwhile, have a picture of Muret:

Where did Damien get his 2 base for Fortitude saves? Cleric base saves is a 0 Con, 0 Ref, 2 Wil

Danner; Skills 2+1=3x4=12+4=16

Fighter Class skills are Climb (2), Craft, Handle Animal, Intimidate, Jump (4), Ride (4), and Swim. You get to place skill points on a 1-point cost for a 1-point gain in these skills.

You have points in spot (4), search (4), and listen (4); Out of class skills have a cost of 2 points for a 1 point gain in the skill. I placed the costs in parenthesis so you can see how it is added up. I count 22 points which means you need to cut 6. Now if you drop the points in Spot, Search, and Listen to 1 point. You meet the skill requirements.

Everyone else looks good.

[Yas392]

Cleric (https://www.d20srd.org/srd/classes/cleric.htm) has +2 Fort, +0 Ref, +2 Will Base Save at LVL1.

HP is 1d4 (4) + 2 CON + 3 toughness feat = 9, is that incorrect?
as for the skill will put those 2 somewhere else, thanks for your input

DOH!!!! I missed the Toughness. All Good now.

WTH!!!! Internet is really screwing with me today.

[Yas392]

Did Adalla miss Damien's question?

Did Adalla miss Damien's question?


Let me check

[DarkOmens67]

I'm giving it a day for everyone to post. It is early evening in the city right now so you have time to shop if you want or prepare to move out early in the morning.

There are two sets of caravans. One is a set of four flatbed wagons with sleighs tied down on top. There is a group of Nar (look like Eskimos or Mongols) testing the ropes, brushing the horses, and sitting on the edge of the edge eating dried jerky and chatting amongst the group.

The second caravan is very large with multiple merchant wagons, their small retinues finishing up on preparing to move south.

[Yas392]

What Damien said was formality. Purchases are already done, and I am ready for the time skip.

[Phyzor]

I am at a festival today, will write a short go ahead

SLED...
UM what temprature is it? do we need to worry about cold weather gear ?

Cold weather outfit 8 gp 7 lb.
A cold weather outfit includes a wool coat, linen shirt, wool cap, heavy cloak, thick pants or skirt, and boots. This outfit grants a +5 circumstance bonus on Fortitude saving throws against exposure to cold weather.

I will pay for it, but remove it if it does not look like it will be needed

[Metastachydium]

Givenb all the talk of winter, snow, a region literally called the Great Glacier and stretches of land horses can't traverse, I suspect there will be need of those. Muret is sure as heck buying one, at any rate.

Sleighs. They're bigger than Sleds. Yes you will need cold weather gear. Right now the Sleighs are tied onto the flat bed of wagons, the snow is starting and not going to stop people. You have a nice frosting on the ground now and the dirt is starting to become muddy.

In about 5-8 days that slight snow will be just below the knees, in about 20 days that snow will be chest high and you will need sleds, dogs (or reindeer), skis/w poles, or snow shoes. There are pelts on the sleighs and over time you can obtain some.


Could be worse. I'm running another game where kobolds are pouring buckets of electric eels and clay containers of wasps down on a party. They got little crawl spaces allowing them to backtrack and climb to a ledge to drop things.

[samduke]

okay just checking on that. checking my material source books, I can not say I see this in my 3.5 stuff, but I do not see why it can not be used.

Nope. Whoever 'Tucker' is shake his hand.

50% discount. Everyone else is moving south.

[samduke]

thought we were all known to each other - in reference to " Ruud says as he introduces himself to the crew. I am Ruud, what are your names?"

@GM
do you want rolls for initiative attacks ect in OOC, IC, do you want them spoilered ?


for now I am going with the later options - but on a nat 1 yeah tasha is not happy

[Metastachydium]

Srry about my absence so far; the Forum doesn't like to OBEY me these days. I love that NPC thread, by the way.


Nope. Whoever 'Tucker' is shake his hand.

I would if I could! Man's a legend. He famously made Kobolds the worst menace in the history of gaming through similar means as you employ (Tucker's Kobolds!).


thought we were all known to each other - in reference to " Ruud says as he introduces himself to the crew. I am Ruud, what are your names?"

Our folks do. Our folks and Dalla's folks, less so.

[Phyzor]

We do, but not the new crew of NPCs

[samduke]

I know I rolled a nat 1 but even with that precise shot "should" I would have hoped miss entirely...

but sigh and the horn blower is probably the leader of those 3


A crossbow bolt strikes the human warrior, a mouth full of blood spits out as he falls face first into the blood soaked mound. The goblins look at the approaching wagons, two begin to lose composure, but the third begins blowing a horn in long bursts in a rhythmic pattern.

Suddenly twenty-five goblin heads pop up from behind mounds of bodies. (Different initiative)

This is the beginning of combat. Roll initiative. If you wish to keep the initiative roll from the previous post, let me know. The goblins will be firing sling stones.


but no matter 3 or 28 Tasha will keep the roll she made for initiative

[Phyzor]

Sticking with initiative too, feels like cheating to take another roll

[Metastachydium]

Is the battleground difficult terrain? (Also, are we doing fumbles?!)

[OnceUponAnAxe]

I’m sorry folks. I got caught up in some craziness in real life and forgot about this game. I’m going to withdraw. Best of luck.

Good luck and thanks for letting us know

[Yas392]

RL comes first. Take care of yourself. Sorry to see you go.

@DarkOmens67 Are we using block initiative or do we go one by one?

[Phyzor]

What do you mean by block initiative Yas?

[Metastachydium]

I’m sorry folks. I got caught up in some craziness in real life and forgot about this game. I’m going to withdraw. Best of luck.

Have a belated fare thee well! Here's hoping things'll sort themselves out if they haven't already.


What do you mean by block initiative Yas?

Combatants are sorted into nice initiative blocks (PC blocks, friendly blocks, hostile blocks…); initiative order within the block doesn't count.

[Yas392]

This explains better than what I can put it in words.

[Phyzor]

I understand, thanks.

I have done a freeform posting of actions before, where the DM then lets them happen in initiative.
When an action becomes obsolete a player can rewrite his action.

Just to speed things up and not have to post in initiative order. I like the idea of blocks as well.

[Yas392]

Are we waiting for DM?

[Phyzor]

I am, we need to check initiative right

[samduke]

I think we are waiting on dm

[Yas392]

Yeah. Everyone rolled initiative. Unless DM already gone with goblin attack on the dying guard and is waiting for our actions.

[samduke]

Yeah. Everyone rolled initiative. Unless DM already gone with goblin attack on the dying guard and is waiting for our actions.

hrm could be guess we go with that plan and post an official round 1 action

[Metastachydium]

For the record, I'm also waiting for an official ruling on this:


Is the battleground difficult terrain?

It's kinda important for us melee types.

[samduke]

dm has not been on for a few, hope we have not lost him.

[Phyzor]

I have faith he will return, he kicked off very eagerly. Busy time off year for alot of people.

ehh maybe but their last login was 11-27

[Phyzor]

yeah I noticed as well.

[Metastachydium]

It would be a real pity. I liked the love the NPCs got, in particular.

[Phyzor]

Yes I agree on that one. Was an awesome way to get us more connected to the storry

[samduke]

well no signs of the dm for 2 weeks now, I am going to withdraw as I believe this game is dead

[Phyzor]

Alas, have to agree on that samduke

[Yas392]

Following Sam's example.
