[Pathfinder] Burnt Offerings

I'll get a map up of the bonfire area tonight.

A test shows that the new imageshack account I just created in the last hour will allow me to post satisfactory illustrations for the IC. I amended my last combat post for Round 1 to include a graphic of The Goblin Song. No one in the party speaks Goblin, but the image in the module was so coolly infamous that I decided to include it for your meta-gaming enjoyment.

Now...on to the mapping dilemna. Might as well try to knock out that problem tonight, too.

You should assume that the cottages on the northern edge of this map are what appears as the southern edge of the Festival Square where the first combat took place.

Hope this helps you plot your movement. If, in viewing this new map, your PC can make it to the bonfire in one round, more power to you.

By my count, by taking run actions on rounds 2 and 3, Sandstone will be able to get into a position to charge one of the goblins at the bonfire on his turn during round 4 at the earliest. So, till then...

I've had GIMP in the past and found the steep learning curve to be not to my liking. While I could sit down and spend time familiarizing myself, I've always been too busy with other stuff to make time to learn the ins and outs of GIMP. Has GIMP gotten any better in the last 18 months? If so, I'll give it another look.

I only downloaded it in the last couple of months, so I couldn't tell you what may or may not have changed about it. I was used to doing some very simple stuff in photoshop and image-ready, and the functions in GIMP were fairly similar, so it didn't take me long to figure those things out, at least.

If you found it user unfriendly before, though, I suspect it would be similarly frustrating now, as it's only on version 2.0, so I can't imagine it's had any kind of major UI overhaul.

Very handy. Painful to look at, but very handy. Thanks!

I am home alone this weekend and plan to take full advantage of the extra time allotted to me by going to the Saturday farmer's market and then to the art museum this morning. I checked in over at the IC and saw that everyone has posted for Round 2, so I'll do a combat post for you upon returning home this afternoon.

Anyone seen the movie Away We Go? It came out yesterday. I went to a matinee (haven't done that in years) of it and liked it. If you like Jim from the American T.V. off-beat comedy The Office, he's in the movie with Maya Rudolph from Saturday Night Live. It was a very funny, touching sort of indie flick.

The picture of the flaming church and the fire-brand-wielding goblins in the IC is from the module and is for "illustrative" purposes only. No, the church is not really on fire in our game.

Guys, I fully intended to post today but it's 10 pm, I'm knackered, and I'm going to bed now so that I can be ready tomorrow for a second interview with Humana. My interview should last a couple of hours, same as the first interview. I'll show up to post in the IC mid-afternoon on Tuesday (tomorrow).

G'night (and I guess no one's heard of or seen Away We Go?).
