    Its funny, I was going to ask the rest of you the same question. I have not played with them before so have no real links. As its been ~2 weeks now I was going to assume they've gone and was going to ask if the party would like to continue with 4 or would you like 1-2 more PCs to join the team? If you have anyone in mind who would be good that may also help rather than a general recruitment?

    Well, IIRC there were lots of people that would've liked to join and submitted a character; you could try to contact one or two of them and ask if they're still interested.
    I am however quite fine in keep going with just four players. Can't talk for the others, but I'm getting good vibes with this group.

    I would start there, as well- if they're still willing, they've already shown interest, and may be prepared to slot it quickly.

    I'm also having fun with the interplay, here. Good character interaction is, in my opinion, the most important part of a game. It gives the DM something entertaining to read, and his motivation is by far the most important ;-)

    More is better than less, even if I usually use it as a buffer against attrition. However if everyone sticks around its more people to interact with one another.

    I believe Lysander will delay his actions, he can't charge and readying an action will net him just a single attack instead of three; he'll wait until at least one of the skeletons will be in range.

    Wish I could swap rolls 1 and 3 on my attacks.

    Skeleton crit, so double damage to 8.

    11 I think. Starting HP get a little padding this edition, so level 1 play is less terrible. Jon seems to be a crit magnet.

    Ouch, that is painful. As you say, good to have a few more hitpoints in 2E! Seem to be needing them.

    Ah, that is what you need.

    Its odd, the enemies have many attacks but very few hitpoints as scripted so have a glass cannon feel to them. Until I get more of a hang onto 2E I'm loathe to change the monsters too much though.

    Hey @DrK, just want to say thanks for running this! Having a blast, combat seems fun, character interactions are great, and the fact that there's now a whodunnit?!? AWESOME!

    A follow up thought, and this might be where you ask me to make a Lore (Poop) check and we all laugh about it. But I feel as if goblins are pretty indiscriminate about what they eat, can we tell if the poop is goblin in nature due to, rat bones or anything. Just a thought.

    I took a quick look at the PF2 bestiary and seems the HPs of the enemies have remained mostly the same, with just some minor variations. Which is good, IMHO - they hit like a truck, especially the goblins.

    If Jannis spills everything to everyone, I have no problems with that. I mean, Lysander believe that lying when it's convenient is good and proper - but Lysander is also a terrible person, so hardly a role model.
    So play however you want, I certainly won't get mad at you for playing your character.

    I want to 2nd Bunnycommando's sentiment ... I really enjoy the RP, interactions and characters we have in this crew. And while Alexej may not like it, I, as a player, fully support playing your character as he exists in your mind.

    So even if, as characters, we disagree with one another, I totally want to see Jon do what he feels is right, and then see where the chips fall.

    Yes, I thought that. I think with the proficiency system they are all the equivalent of full BAB fighters

    Glad you guys are enjoying the game. I'm enjoying the interactions. I think Lysander is a great example of how to play an evil alignment in a good party

    Just for clarification, is this guy offering to come with us free of charge after working hours? I would gladly take him up on that.

    I'm trying to pay him from the Sheriff's pocket, lol, and convince him to do it for the good of the town. After all, as a carpenter it could have been his workshop that burnt to the ground with the goblin attack.

    Take 20 isn't a thing in 2e. Taking 10 requires a feat, assurance, and has some other provisos. Taking 20 would be an issue with critical failures and such.

    I mean, critical failures were a thing before, also. Taking 20 is just less explicitly lined out in 2e, as any activity with no practical penalty for failure just lets you keep retrying it until you succeed.

    In some cases, I feel like this is a major flaw in the way skill checks work. For example: an athletics check to pick up a heavy object. If you're actively in combat or something, great- timing is important. In any other context, are you strong enough to do it? Then do it. The inclusion of die rolls is just clutter, IMO.

    Anyway, my 2c. Feel free to disregard. I struggle to not comment on everything, sometimes. XD

    That's fair, I ended up rolling well, so hopefully that should get us in. I'll remember taking 20 isn't a thing in future.

    If there are no failure and no time penalties, than I don't think there should be a roll.
