[Pathfinder] Burnt Offerings

[CanadienneBacon]

I'll do another mid-round pause to let Elyra, Grokk, and Sivan review the battlefield before they act. A check of the IC this morning showed that we have posts from Talashia, Taran, and Tac, so all the pieces are in place for me to do the combat post. Today, however, is my twins' birthday and I still have some baking to do this afternoon after work. I was up until 3 am last night, making lemon cheesecake and all other manner of cake confections and thus don't think I'll be staying up very late at all tonight.

Up-shot: might not be until tomorrow for a DM post from me. I'll try for this afternoon, but a third cake (don't ask) and a nap are looking like they'll be in order.

I hope the twins have a great birthday full of baked goodness and that you get your well deserved nap. Take care.

I ordered Pathfinder for purposes other than this game, so if you guys aren't buying the book, it's absolutely no sweat.

I really do prefer for folks not to have to spend money to play D&D and thus have no problem keeping this game with the free beta ruleset that we're currently using. Only reason I brought up the hardcover was because I figured there was a -small- chance that everyone here was buying the book, in which case it would be silly to continue on with the beta.

Or, without spending money, we could just use the official SRD (PRD):

Looks nice

I'm good with converting "up" to the final rules. It'd be good to help keep things straight, and from what I've seen so far, the final rules seem more...polished.

Oh, awesome! I shouldn't have a problem converting, then, since this is available. And it doesn't look like Tac's going to change that much anyway. He'll lose the random weapon proficiency (for a weapon he doesn't even own), Get the new Trapfinding bonus (which is quite nice, I think, and probably a better way to make Rogues better at trapfinding than the arbitrary DC cap for non-rogues), and doesn't have to declare Dodge is in effect. I'm all for it.

I'm home this afternoon and will see about prepping and posting a DM combat post for our IC.

I have yet to receive my pre-order of the PF hardcover from amazon.com. When I checked my account at amazon this afternoon, I saw a shipping estimate for the PF book of August 24.

Round 2 combat post is up. Again, I've paused mid-round to let Elyra, Grokk, and Sivan assess the battlefield before declaring their Round 2 actions.

The goblin commando, goblin dog, and goblin2 are dropped. Goblin 4 is running away, south. Goblin1 is engaged in melee behind the house with Grokk. Goblin3 is untouched and is busy poking the human nobleman with its dogslicer.

I owe you guys XP. Look for it in the RG sometime early this week--when I post it, I'll provide a link here in the OOC.

Has anyone seen Merlin's Shadow lately? I'm wondering if he will return to post for Grokk. Possible explanations for his recent absence might include frustration with the ENWorld server issues (I note his last activity was July 15), or with the July/August slow pace of this particular game (though, you'll all remember, please, that I did make it clear up front that this game would entertain lulls in activity). Let me know if anyone has news of Merlin's Shadow, please.

Round 2 has been updated. One goblin is running away, one is behind a house engaged in melee with Grokk, and one has just been intimidated by Sivan.

We're now on Round 3. For those of you who declared actions for Round 3 before I posted Round 2 results for Elyra, Grokk, and Sivan, you're welcome to re-declare for Round 3 via edit or new post if you so choose.

I started a brand new 3.5 game here at home, and half the crew is new to D&D and doesn't currently possess a PHB. We're sharing and that's fine for the moment, but I'd like to get my hands on a pair of used but serviceable 3.5 PHB. A check of e-bay revealed only two for sale, both overpriced (not sure what's going on there, it used to be that you could find a used PHB for cheap at every turn).

Do any of you have a 3.5 PHB or two sitting around that you're interested in selling? I'm interested in buying what you have.

For those of you who declared actions for Round 3 before I posted Round 2 results for Elyra, Grokk, and Sivan, you're welcome to re-declare for Round 3 via edit or new post if you so choose.

I'm content with my declared actions as they are.

So, anyone have a decent ranged attack with which to shoot the fleeing goblin?
