We should have captured him to interrogate him and potentially see if he was wanted.

They were likely slaver scum and deserve death.
Not to mention they poisoned you, incapacitated the rearguard, and were willing to kill Raia
after killing Ayarte
.
Words don't solve this problem.

In this case, you were tracking a wounded urban man running desperately through unfamiliar woods.
This is true.
I was going to say something about following the blood but at that point I was just accepting of the fact that he got away.

What happens if I try to make a trip attack using a weapon I am not proficient in? Do I receive a penalty on the trip attempt?

You would get -4 on the initial attack roll, but not on the trip check.

Exactly same way as tripping unarmed, except that you can drop the weapon to avoid them from being able to trip you if you fail.

FG how much would it be to refit the drop of leather we got to fit Houndour?

I think refitting something designed for a humanoid creature for a four legged creature is too difficult, and you would be better off buying one for Houndour instead.

I guess we could sell the leather we got......
I am guessing since it's used we won't get nearly as much as it cost....

ok so i'm still working on my necromancer backup character and i have a question to ask to see if pursuing this concept for this campaign is worth it

what's the likelihood we get to 6th level spells (~level 11+)? because if i cant create intelligent undead basically the rp value of this character concept goes down the drain \_o_/

Possible, but I would bet against it. Even if we hit lv 11, it would be for only one or two sessions.

Plan for up to 5th level spells only at most.

Quick question, for the purpose of Craft(Alchemy), i have to be a spellcaster to actually use it it seems
To make an item using Craft (alchemy), you must have alchemical equipment and be a spellcaster.
As a ranger, I'd get 0 spells per day at level 4. Do I count as a spellcaster then since I'd have 2 caster levels at that point?

I'd be willing to give either [Shortbow, Crossbow] to you.
Also beneficial since it further keeps you off the front lines.


I'm selling the leather armor since everyone has its equivalent or better in terns of armor, and we can't repurpose it for Houndour.

So we had a brief conversation on Skype last night about maybe taking time to RP while FG isn't there. So basically what we did for those few days before the campaign. And its not like we don't want you there, FG, but given we can only progress the story in our limited window we talked about taking time to roleplay outside of our official time to flesh out the characters and get to know the party.

Because the more time we spend talking/arguing/getting to know party members during our official time the less we actually get done re: progressing the story etc. Otherwise we won't really see Hellion or Raia grieve Ayarte's death or Erwin and Fiona have their chat under the tree etc. So maybe just pretending we're sitting at/around the inn for an hour or so.


Spoiler: Re: RP
Giga wrote:honestly I'm kind of disappointed theres no one that riffs off of raia's personality well
in past campaigns theres always some hyper CN character that absolutely hates raia's guts and raia hates them back and their petty arguments are always hilarious
Giga wrote:here she's kind of tolerable and likeable
This is your explanation.
If she ran around being insufferable we'd have issues.
Fire wrote:Not much variety in personality types imo with all the neutral foods
Goods
This is part of the reason why roleplaying is so important.
This isn't some religious pilgrimage of LG's running around following a code. We all have our lines.
For instance, I'm passively working on a tier of things for what is important to Erwin. So Erwin was willing to hold his sword when the knife was held to Ayarte's throat, but would he be willing to do the same if Hellion or Fiona were in that position? Would he abandon the quest to save the lives of his companions, or abandon them to finish the quest?

I also gave you some great fodder you can use against Erwin. I didn't drop my blade when told to. I killed an injured (likely unable to defend himself) Sevan in the woods without batting an eye.

I liked Achan's outrage over why no one distrusted the dwarf and how badly we handled the situation, but I think people were too shellshocked at the moment to do anything with it.
giga wrote:has anyone actually read my character's backstory btw
Most of it!
giga wrote:also raia doesn't see achan as part of the party btw since he didn't sign the contract.
postie wrote:He doesn't really see himself as part of the party either
This is something that you both can use.
