Default Shadows of Anmer OoC

Here we are. Table for convenience.

Roster
CharacterPlayerCharacterBuild
Rubido GaleOverlord RionElven weaponmasterFactotum/Warblade/Eternal Blade
Selia OlinPersonManHuman enchantressCleric/Bard Theurge
Melchia DeepwoodCockroachTeaPartyMaster manipulatorTelepath
Otrino Perronezimmerwald1915Expert summonerMalconvoker

Language reference
In-game languageRL language
CommonEnglish
UndercommonFinnish
InfernalRussian
AbyssalPolish

So... the party is going to be some dwarf-elf action in melee while the human casters back them up. Everyone but Selia is Lawful, in fact, we have (a) Law Incarnate in the party.

You're going to start in the southern city of Galsaff, which has attracted a fair bit of adventurers because it's had many problems recently. The things you have heard are disappearing people, rains of fire from time to time (once every few weeks), and some Goblin raids which are mostly unsuccessful but put strain on the countryside.

Feel free to post here to choose your color speech, and to start chatting if you want.

I'd like to claim teal as my IC speech color, as is my personal tradition.

I'm looking forward to the game! I'm going to read everybody's sheet and backstory. I'm intrigued to see such a Lawful bent...

EDIT: I hate to be that guy, but I noticed a couple discrepancies with character sheets.

First, Brottor doesn't qualify for the Bonus Essentia feat, since you need to be at least character level 6th to take it. Unless mucco waived that requirement; it can be tough to get good sources of essentia, I know.

Also, is Rubido proficient with that spiked chain? Factotums only go up to martial weapon proficiency, and I didn't see an Exotic Weapon Proficiency feat anywhere...

Good catches. It's my fault that you had to do it, really.

Yeah, they will both have to be corrected. Thanks. Maybe Overlord Rion wants to use it without being proficient? Also, he couldn't get the proficiency yet, as it has a BAB +1 prerequisite.

The spiked is actually a "pick up this proficiency later" thing for me. That, and I can think of a lot of other uses for a spiked chain besides a weapon.

EDIT: I didn't think of myself as a weapon master before, but now that you mention it....I pretty much have all ranges covered don't I? Also, calling Dark Green.

I think I'll go with a blazingly powerful pink.

It'll be...interesting being the only non-Lawful in the party. Shouldn't be too much of a problem, though, with Selia's outlook.

Also, 'human enchantress' isn't exactly how I'd describe Selia, but at this point that's basically what she is...

I didn't dwell much on that two-word description, so I'm open to suggestions... though that's not very important.

Creating IC thread now. Cockroach should wait until everyone else has showed up there before entering, thanks.

EDIT: also, please be patient with me as English is not my mother tongue. I'll do my best though.

*twiddles thumbs*

From what I've seen so far, your command of English is excellent, by the by, mucco.

So, let's talk timezones, so we know what we can expect out of each other.

I've had the impression that PersonMan is in Europe (possibly England), Essence_of_War and Cockroach are East Coast, while Overlord is in West Coast. I am an Euro myself.

Did I get it right?

(Also, for the two missing people in the IC thread, post away! Else I'll resort to alternates )

I'm ready to move on from the lunch, personally. Melchia is probably going to remain relatively quiet and observe the proceedings, saving his questions for afterward.

During the lunch, however, he'll attempt a Sense Motive check to see if he can't get a hunch about the general situation. Typically, this is a DC 20 check. (1d20+5)[10]

...Nope, still in something of a haze.

Finnish for Undercommon is way cool especially because Elves in the setting have a German/Nordic flavor. Finnish is... close but different from germanic languages and that fits.

I've been using other languages for different DnD-ones for a while now. So far I've used:

Russian, for Infernal.
Lithuanian, for Sylvan.
And Finnish, for Undercommon.

I'm on a short vacation until around Saturday. My USB modem, unsurprisingly, doesn't work here so I'm relying on a very shaky free wifi. Don't expect me to reply readily, if at all, in the next days. Sorry about the inconvenience.

Spellcraft check to identify the spell involved in the illusion.

Rubido: (1d20+5)[9]

Rubido isn't sure of what spell, exactly, has been used. The other two don't have Spellcraft.

How far away are we from the goblins? Are the goblins grouped close together? I'll have an IC post pending answers to those questions.

Ah well, figures I better post a map. Here. Light green, where you're standing, is the path you're walking on. Dark green is tall grass (difficult terrain). The cart is marked on the road (yellow), the guards are the (F)ighters, goblins are the red G's.

Melchia moves closer to the battle, trying to close the range between the goblins and himself. As he approaches the edge of the high grass, he reloads his light crossbow.

You know, I'm going to say that we should all have a default action in case somebody doesn't post in enough time has that action to fall back on just in case.

Have 48h passed yet?

Oh, it's almost due! Yeah, in case PersonMan doesn't show up in time I'll play his turn and then we move on.

In the meanwhile, please, feel free to anticipate your turn if you feel you don't need the info from the next rounds. I do that all the time when I play PbP.

I will offer you a revise if you deem it necessary, of course. I found that turn anticipating speeds things up quite a bit.

Could you maybe label the spoilers in your IC posts? I almost missed the initiative table because I wasn't sure if it was stuff we were supposed to see or not.

Sure thing, will do from now on.

If you see non-tagged spoiler tags in the future, it's probably OoC notes everyone is allowed to see.

Also, my goblins are really useless. 8 misses in a row.

Hah! It might just happen.

Oh, Overlord, I noticed you were missing a big fat +4 on your damage roll: +3 for Str and +1 for the bard's song. That means the goblin actually fell unconscious before it could hit you!

The other goblin, at this point, runs even faster if possible.
