Drothmal: DM omnipotence will make sure you guys level quickly enough. Reducing random encounters is really a matter of making sure spellcasters get enough rest to get their spell slots back. Which is to say, reducing them will probably be a good idea.

I've had a crazy day at work today, so I'll probably try to get an IC post up in the morning.

I agree with the plan Princess posted. Random encounters are annoying when the spellcasters need to sleep anyways.

Btw, Gideon wants a tent with Rowan and Darcy but he'll take what he can get!

Hehe. You can always count on the DM

Then I am all in for the palisade

I'm assuming that we need to have a watch schedule

As the only non-human with low light vision (oh, PF... making humans sooooooo awesome), LIX will take the darkest watch. This probably means the 2-4 AM or so

By the way, which season does this take place. I'm guessing that with the tropical climate it does not matter as much (less variation between daylight hours), but just to get a sense of what we'll be dealing with

Darcy can take any watch, but his spot is +0, so really he's not ideally suited to the darkest parts of the night.

Alright, here's the map of the camp with buildings. I'll put it into the first post of this thread too for reference.

Spoiler


Now, I'm assuming you guys will want to sleep before setting out into the jungle, so when you're done roleplaying, write here or IC that you're turning in for the night. When enough people are done, I'll move things along.

Besides the cooking, LIX is ready to go to bed and wake up for his watch turn (though he is hoping to get some healing in exchange for roasted crab )

Shen'jil would be more than content to take a watch with his Perception of +5.

Did LIX share his discovery of the footprints he found earlier? - nevermind, found Drothmal's post where LIX pointed them out.

Gideon is ready to go to sleep. I'll get an IC post up later saying as much. Gideon can also take a watch.

Thanks, will do!

But since I'm not gone yet: Survival - (1d20+7)[26] for picking up the lost trail

Not sure how we are doing skills

1) everyone rolls, the best one is taken and the others counting as aid another 2) we have to declare the aid another before the roll

If it is (2), LIX will just perform Aid another to boost Shen'jil great check. If it is 1, let's hope the dice are nicer to the half giant this time

Survival - (1d20+11)[14]

EDIT: so so so sad

Sorry for the delay, everyone. I've finished my final exam today, so there will be a post tomorrow, and from there you can expect a quicker pace from me.

Yeah, forgot to mention. Anyone feel free to stop LIX. I was thinking that the second wreckage exploration could be fine, but if most people want to go after the tracks, I'm okay with that too (LIX might grumble a little though )

There are more important things than fighting, like eating and sleeping. And friendship.

And LIX is all for those (specially the eating ). He just gets bored easily and exploring another shipwreck/fighting seems more fun than following a set of tracks

But I get the impression that Rowan and LIX will get along very very well (as long as the supplies last, at least )

Disira's primary objectives here will be working to round up any other survivors (better chance of survival in numbers) and finding a way off the island once that's done. Until we actually reach proper civilization she's probably going to end up being the voice of pragmatism. She's certainly playing out very different than how I'd initially planned. Can't really turn on the old charm when there's no way seduction will really help in this situation.

Yup, Rowan'll get really grouchy if she has to go without dessert much longer. Where are the exotic fruits and beans for making sweets?

Leviathan: Not sure how many rounds of prep we might have or not. But if we have 2 rounds, LIX will activate both his magic weapon power and his shield power (in that order)

I'll try to have a corresponding IC post later tonight. Just wanted to ask OOC in case I had to make a post only using one of the two powers
