Out of the game, out? Or posting slow for a while out?

[Morbis Meh]

Would it be alright if I did a called shot to the leg to take him down before he gets away?

Unfortunately, that's not a feature of Pathfinder or D&D unless you've got feats or abilities to support it. You can take a nonlethal shot to lay in nonlethal damage at the standard -4 penalty if you want, and flavor it as a shot to the leg but that might not drop him...

Actually the pfsrd website does have variant rules on called.shots take a look at this

Variant rules. Hrm...

Well, I can't look at 'em right now. It'd mean waiting at least 9 hours or so, so I'm gonna say no for the moment, sorry.

That's fine I still think i hit with an 18 so no biggy...

[Chained Birds]

Halfling = 20ft movement speed vs (Probably) Medium Sized Humanoid = 30ft

Hmm, Maple will stay in the back. Odds are this guy can evade a horse too.

[Morbis Meh]

Well at least we can track the blood from his wound....

[Sithis]

And Alistar has very kindly demonstrated why charging directly into an unknown situation is a bad idea.

Eh, it happens. So what are you guys doing now?

[stack]

Chasing a butterfly with a net.


Or hoping I backed rope.

[Morbis Meh]

Leaping into the fray to search for our dear wolfy who now has an ouchy on his paw! Though my great acrobatics check should be enough for me to leap around the trees and not touch the ground

[Lost Demiurge]

Having looked over the called shots, I'm gonna have to say no. That's too many good things for a mere -2 penalty.

Maybe another game, but not this one, sorry.

That's alright, though it isn't a flat -2 penalty, actually every few locations have -2 (I think chest and legs), others have -5 and -10 to the shot but it is entirely up to you and I respect your decision!

[Lost Demiurge]

Alright! So the plan is to follow the dude?

Cool, somebody gimme a rough marching order.

Oh, and are you riding the horses or leading them?

[stack]

Our monk and wolf should probably be in front for tracking/spotting. Squishy sorcerer goes near the middle. Julian is melee, but needs a round to buff, so middle-ish, paladin rearguard?

[Steckie]

Sounds good.

[Sithis]

Alistar is cool with going first, since he's best tracker anyway. (Tracking with Scent is much easier.) And he is totally neutral when it comes to horses, since he doesn't use one. That bit's up to you guys.

[Steckie]

I prefer to go on foot, so we don't kill or cripple a horse in one of those fancy traps.

[stack]

Yeah, mounts won't speed things up much while tracking anyhow. Foot it is.

[Chained Birds]

Poor Lonely Apples.

[Lost Demiurge]

Coolness. Well, when you're ready please describe your setting out in the main thread, and gimme a survival and perception roll, all of yez.

[Morbis Meh]

Alrighty will do, i will follow behind the wolfman, we archers should never be in front

[Chained Birds]

Diplomacy (if needed): (1d20+8)[27]

Edit: Maple can sure leave an impression on people.

[Steckie]

I have a bit of a stupid question.
The word 'pretentious', it does mean claiming to know or be able to do more than you actually can, right?
I tried to look it up, but the definition isn't really clear to me.

I'm from Belgium and my native language is Dutch, so from time to time i come by a word that i don't know.

[Sithis]

I've always understood it to mean that you consider yourself more important than you are.

So yah, pretty much.

Sounds like an interesting place to own, a base of our own away from Oleg's. We could man it with the former bandits if we could trust them. Zone of truth or something like that could probably work.

I'm probably dreaming here, i don't even know if we can 'own' places in the Kingmaker adventure path.
