				Once you've posted a character sheet, and I've informed you that you're in the game, feel free to chat away here. Will also transfer all the game rules here at some point, when sign-ups are more or less done and the player roster is closed.

				Yay, finally got my character whittled down to acceptance!&nbsp; I think I have a compulsive need to make some quirk outside the normal rules, which always leads to wrangling with GMs.&nbsp; But it's good to fit into the original vision and purpose.<br><br>Now, who wants their palm read?

				You're fine, Queen, and I think it's a compulsion to kind of power-game, Chloe. I used to do it too, and I still see a lot of people doing it. Because there are rules, you end up feeling compelled to min/max everything; or to pick this and that to make your character super, extra special and attention-grabbing...but it always ends up escalating until everyone is either a dragon a demon or a goddess...and then all the simple, fun stories aren't any fun anymore. No one ever does it maliciously, but if everyone dies in a system game because you picked flower arranging and piano tuning as your feats, you end up feeling guilty. :P<br><br>That's a big reason why, for this game, a lot of your success will depend on how you explain your characters actions. If you slide around you companions, ducking under a table, a try to slice the tendons at the back of a monstrous creatures ankles, I'm more inclined to let you be more successful than if you tell me you have three attacks, and you throw three daggers, aiming for the monster's eyes (to blind it), hand (to try and disarm it) and it's heart (to make it cry from all the silliness). It's all about the story, so if someone really wants to do something, and it doesn't break the story to allow it...I think that's enough fun and power. :P<br><br>Oh, and everyone is free to play with the OOC forum and to move their completed characters over to the character thread. If you have any questions about whether you're in the game or not, you can check the IC thread for our first story. For right now, it just has some setting information and a cast of (the obvious) characters. :P

				Okay, I don't particularly find the fake, white wigs on nobles all that hot...what do you guys think about the idea that the wigs have fallen out of favor for the younger nobles, who prefer to show off their natural beauty. Old people still wear then, and maybe 60% of the middle-aged, but it's a fad that's dying out. Sound good to everyone?

				Okay, I'm building up the supporting cast of characters. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions for characters they'd like to see, please speak up. Keep them limited to people you'd care to see in the upcoming story, the Secret of Avonleigh (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=46369.msg2202745#msg2202745).<br><br>I might alter them just a little bit, but if you have a request, please spit it out. :P<br><br>Oh, and as soon as characters are finished (and I've signed off on them, which is pretty much all the posted ones so far), please make sure to stick your polished details here: Character Thread (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=46300.msg2200532#msg2200532)

				I have two things to announce. First, I was thinking about characters and story, and the possibility that they might die. I'd prefer not to kill off anyone important, that we have our hearts and minds wrapped up in, unless a player approaches me and asks for it. However, to keep the game realistic, it's very important that players let their characters be afraid.<br><br>It's one thing to act heroicly, and to defend someone else with a poker when backed into a corner; it's completely another thing to charge at the tentacled thing with your bare hands while everyone else is running, screaming, away from the monstrosity. You do have a bit of license here, and you don't have to worry that a single heroic moment = character death. But chronically heroic characters can and will die if they do silly things. Jumping into the water to punch the scary shark thing is likely to make you a bloody pool of water decoration.<br><br><hr><br>Moving on, I have room for 2-3 servant girls/women, and 1-2 servant boys, if anyone is interested. These are bit characters. You know the character that you giggle at in the horror movies? The ones that you just know were written in for the purposes of gore? These are them. Must be able to play out death scenes, and will likely end up having sex (if attractive) before you die. We all know that sex does equal death in scary stories. Bring on those slutty aristocrats! :P

				Okay, I think I'm ready to start the game today, and I may have the opening post up in an hour or so. We have a lot of players with us, and one of the most difficult aspects of the game threatens to be remaining organized. A lot of games do that by creating multiple threads for each location, but I'd rather just keep us to a single thread (unless something very special comes up) per story.<br><br>To that effect, when writing, please always post the name of your character (and a small head shot is welcomed as well), the location of your character, the current group of characters that are with you, and any content flags that are appropriate. Let's keep a consistent format, so it's easy for people to understand what's going on.<br><br>An example would be:<br><br><strong>Isabella Levoreaux, Carriage #3 [Viktor Martin, Lillian Montague, Estelle d'Attaine], M/M, Incest<br><br>Isabelle thinks and thinks and then says something witty and is well received by all. That's when she notices that Viktor's hand is traveling into Frederick's pants. "Eeew!" she exclaims.</strong><br><br>Also, be patient. I will move the setting along when I feel the timing is right. If your character isn't involved in any action, and you're just waiting for the story to progress, give us an update here and there of what you're up to. In my first post, Isabelle might be bathing, and then in another dressing...and if I have nothing else to write, I'll just hold off while other people finish up their scenes. <br><br>If your scenes are dragging on for too long, I (as the GM) might interject and just let you know it's time to wrap things up. Really easy to finish up conversations and action by fading to black; you can always finish up any specific details in PMs if we're interrupting something really important (like the 322nd post in the Bondage/Torture scene), or if you'd like to really draw the scene out, feel free to create a new thread for your two characters (that I will not moderate or add to at all) to capture their moment in time together, while also moving ahead with the story in the main story thread.<br><br>If your character initiates action, always express that your character <strong>tries</strong> to do something, unless it doesn't involve any player or GM run characters or a very difficult situation. Lighting a candle on fire is perfectly fine. So is getting dressed. If you move to kiss or fondle someone, leave room for them to push you away, or escape. If you chop down a 40 ft. tree, wait and see what happens when you deliver that final blow; it could always land on you or a friend and kill them, for example. :P If I need to say anything about this to anyone, I'll do it privately and give you time to edit your stories; just try your best and we'll make it work.<br><br>Also, just to be completely firm here, all child characters are off-limits for anything that's inappropriate. Some bad and scary things might happen to them, but don't subject them to anything that the moderators of the site would have a problem with.<br><br>And make sure to check the Ons &amp; Offs of other players before you initiate play with them. Many female characters are not into F/F play, just as many are only into F/F play. The same goes with male players as well. If in doubt, ask first!<br><br>If anyone has any questions or concerns, or even ideas, send me a PM!<br><br>Otherwise, let's have fun and I hope you enjoy the story and your fellow players!<br><br>P.S. Make sure to give Alluistras lots of love, because she's been helping me to plot as well, and is going to be the source of any and all flavor pictures added to the story.

				Okay, so I made a small mistake, and if everyone can catch it, and help me stamp it out, that would be lovely. Katrina Browly, played by Chelemar, is actually Ashley Browly. She changed her name to save us the trouble of having two Katrinas, and I didn't notice. So in future posts, just swap the new name, and you'll have to alter the name in your block of audience names as well; but just for future posts!

				Also, I think from now on, to make things predictable, if we're going to change the scene or introduce a big plot point, we'll likely do it around 12:00 PM Pacific. That works really well for me, and it kind of marks the start of when I have to run off anyway. We'll give everyone some time to react (likely 24 hours), before moving the action along in any major way.

				Faeylin, would William know whether or not Sebby and the boys are proficient in firearms? As the One with the most responsibility there, I imagine he might be the one handing out the muskets to the servants, if they were to be handed out.

				Most men, including boys, know how to handle them somewhat. Proficiency is more like being an accomplished shot. They might be clumsy in reloading, though. But yup, the boys are perfectly old enough to be given firearms. As far as Sebastian goes, I have no clue. You can check his character sheet. Again, he probably has fired several in his lifetime, although he may not love the idea of them

				Five for right now. And yup, that's perfect. I'll go ahead and deal with the details. Would you prefer if I just write the resolution of the actions in an NPCs dialog, or I can give you a GM synopsis of actions that happen, and let you describe them. Either way works for me. In this case, your bullet fires much too wide, not striking it's target; the men are a good distance away. And I didn't check Sebastian's sheet; does he have the firearms proficiency? He can shoot either way, but it'll save me the trip of looking it up.

				Elves are fairly common. Not in Dementlieu at all...there might be 50-100 in the whole of the realm (out of ~18,000 people); but they do exist in nearby lands. Darkon, a land to the Northeast (a good distance away) has large settlements of demihumans (is that the right word?). In Falkovnia, where your elf is fleeing from, all non human races are immediately enslaved and treated as property of the state. So, it's likely that they'll see you as a refuge of some sort.<br><br>However, most elves do not leave Falkovnia in exquisite dresses, so you'll end up being a bit of a mystery. Most elves don't get out of Falkovnia, actually. For now, your dress marks you more as an aristocrat than an elf, and it's likely that they'll assume you're a noble from some bordering land; a noble is a noble in Dementlieu.<br><br>Anyone is free to realize she's an elf at any time, though, and react to it however they wish. :P

Go for it. And if you want me to keep my hands off them completely, that can be arranged too. Just let me know. :P<br><br>And yes, elves have been talked about in books. They're just unusual. Think of an African in Great Britain, during Victorian times. They're definitely a foreigner, although most people have not seen or interacted with one before. However, Dementlieu is a mecca for trade and culture, so it is likely that several wealthy and high profile elves have been involved in Dementlieu's public scene.<br><br>Also, elves are a naturally elegant and beautiful race; Dementlieu society is focused on appearances. Of all the nonhumans, elves are probably the most well-received race.<br><br>So yup, Lilian would be able to recognize her as an elf if you want her to. Enjoy.

				Well, you can continue on and interact with Sylria or the NPCS if you want. I'm going to draw out the fight a tiny bit longer, so they'll have time to act between now and tomorrow morning. I see this segment of RP (the fight itself) being over sometime tomorrow afternoon, with the wrap-up tomorrow evening. <br><br>It's likely we'll flash forward to the group's arrival at Avonleigh on Wednesday afternoon. If this sort of advanced planning, and details on when story and setting are going change helps, I'll keep everyone posted.<br><br>Also, if anyone feels like we're moving too fast (and you're getting lost or left behind), please, please let me know and we'll see what we can do to fight that; for the active people, just try not to close off anything for the players who are slower to act (like fighting off all the soldiers before everyone has had some time to act out their character's actions and reactions). <br><br>I'd like to give everyone time to add at least one action or character post to each significant situation. More active people can easily have 5-6 posts! If you're slower (more like a single post each day), it's probably best to avoid hanging posts that tie up other people for a whole day. The very active people should head for NPC interaction, or identify your compulsive posters *coughMyrleenacough* and play with them as much as you can. :P<br><br>If in doubt and you want to move on, let a situation fade to black, and continue on. For example:<br><br>Post #1: Lilian yelled at Sebastian, asking, "What is your problem, don't you know your place?" <br><br>[Time passes, Lilian gets bored waiting for a response...]<br><br>Post #2: Lilian ignores his response, and walks off to play footsie with one of the naughty girls from Carriage #3.<br><br>[Sebastian comes back, finds that he missed a dialogue interaction, and got abandoned]<br><br>Sebastian's Post: Sebastian calls her a spoiled brat, and fumes openly. Lilian ignores his words, though, and walks off to play footsie with one of the naughty girls from Carriage #3. He storms off to take out his frustrations on William Bond; the guy just really bugs him. :P<br><br>Everyone profits!

				No, you're just fine! Post away and if some discrepancy arises, I'll just make some comment on it. Just don't think you have to rewrite everything if it doesn't make sense. <br><br>If Sebastian and you both wrote that you'd reached Sylria first, leave it be, and I'll add in a little post that describes what exactly happened. Or I'll change things. It really isn't that important. Just don't change your posts because things don't seem to fit. We'll fix it after the fact.

				Yes, but in Dementlieu, most people see it as stage magic, for the most part. Something for entertainment.

We have a doctor's appointment for a baby tomorrow afternoon, so it will either be early morning or it might be closer to evening/night for everyone when I update the setting. The current plan is to have the men finish off the soldiers rather quickly, move Sebastian back to the carriages, tend to Sylria, and get back on the road. Just want to give some different people (William Bond, Justine, Katrina, of the top of my head) a chance to respond to things before we swoop ahead.

For example, the only posts that would directly affect your character, Justine, are those marked Carriage #3.

				We're not done yet, with the action. Probably wrap it up tomorrow morning. And my guess is we're going to fade to black on the rest of the trip to Avonleigh, once we're more or less done with this scene. The whole idea of the carriage ride was to give everyone a chance to introduce and feel out their characters. It'd be fun to get into the story. :P

				No, go crazy! You guys are being so nice and so cautious. You can be a little bit more assuming with the NPCs. If you think something is in their nature, feel free to use them a little bit, write a few lines of dialogue for them, etc. The main place where I care about making decisions on the success or failure of certain actions are anytime it might have a big impact on the story. Combat, extraordinary physical things, etc. Develop your own side plots and feelings, etc. If Sebastian has murderous dreams involving Ivy and Lily, spill them! I thought it was awesome!

				I already made it poor Imogene's job. Also, I'm looking into making Story posts, maybe with an image that makes it easy to spot them. Quick overviews of the action that everyone should know. Thinking back to QueenTrippingSerpent's comment, I realized that I do advance the story and plot via NPCs and it might be tough to spot where the story is.<br><br>So I'm going to work something up tonight, and start making very brief posts that give updates on all the action that's happening, minus the fluff. That way, it should make it easier for players who aren't around as much. They can watch for their location (ie. The Parlor) to read the story that directly involves their characters, and they can get all the setting/plot updates (ie A scream rips through the entire house. It seems to come from the manor kitchens) without having to go through all of our posts picking for them.<br><br>Hopefully that will help a little bit. I can imagine, if someone has limited time and they pop in after a day and a half, they might end up a little lost.<br><br><hr><br>It's the back of his shoulder, Risa.

				Really, living in the country and owning livestock is what makes these things more common knowledge. One day Alluistras will have to share her story of how the vet used to castrate the baby bulls in her parent's cattle herd. It's really, really funny, but it's made quite a few men curl up in sympathetic balls of pain, once shared; it's probably very appropriate for the Extreme forum. :P

				I'll probably be gone until around 1PM PST tomorrow. I have college placement tests to do, and I have no idea how long they're going to take. Both the English and Math portions are allowing me an hour and a half, and I don't know exactly when I'll be leaving to go do that. So, just a heads-up.<br><br>I really need to talk to someone other than Ivy XD

				It's okay, Chaos. We're kind of hitting a short lull, I think, but that's perfectly fine. If people can manage a post per day, it helps a bit...every other day is fine if you're character is not embroiled in any sort of action. It seems like a lot of different people seem at a loss for what to do. My best advice is to group up with other players (like Ashley and Imogene, or Kolette and Lady Kat), so that you have a real person besides me to play with. I have all the NPCs, so I can add a bit here and there; in fact, I wrote them expressly to give everyone someone to play with and interact with. So if there's not another player's character that you can bond with at the moment (perhaps as is the case with Viktor Martin, or Justine, or Sebastian), then latch onto an NPC and I'll keep the story going for you.<br><br>Feel free to just pick something and do it. Are your characters going to check out their bedroom, interested in a bath, just exploring, etc. The moment you're doing things, I promise to start throwing interesting details and features your way. Some of it might just be for flavor or fun, like that book erotic love stories in Bedroom #5, or the doll that seems to stare at you in the little girl's room; other things will provide clues and story...and there are certain places that get a lot more scary. I have a lot planned, so just imagine you're in this house...what would you do. It can be as brief or as lengthy as you want, but I will keep you going, I promise. :P

Did you know that sometimes a very strong breeze could topple a woman wearing an absurdly large hoop skirt?<br><br>My guess is that most of the women would wear a chemise and drawers/bloomers. The bloomers are under pants (and panties are literally just smaller and smaller bloomers, until you end up with like, the modern day versions). Then they'd wear corsets over that (although the noble women in this setting are free to balk at them and avoid them altogether), and then there's be at least one petticoat, followed by an overdress. The female servants probably wouldn't be wearing corsets, but they'd have the chemise, drawers, outerwear thing happening.

				Actually, it seems a little bit slow, so...what I'm going to do is give everyone an end-cap scene in a few moments; feel free to add a single final post of your own to it, if there's something you wanted to do. Sorry Kolette, I know that you did want to get down to the cellar/pantry, but you have several days to go. Then I'll start up the next day's story, and we'll stay on it for 3-4ish days, depending on activity. For those who have gone more-or-less inactive, or need a break, we'll assume those characters are just sleeping in, or doing things outside of whatever story does happen.

If you need time to do other things, or relax, have at it. If you still have something to write, get to it. We'll swap to the new day soon.

				If everyone wants to pop back in soon, I'm going to be swapping to a new day...in the next 30ish minutes. Poor Myrleena might want to delete her old post and repost the same block of text so that she doesn't get lost. If you're vehind and haven't been keeping up, each new day is a nice fresh start. And it's perfectly okay for the game to slow down a little bit. Two days is a good maximum on leaving someone else hanging; if you can't post 6 times in a day to advance a plot, that's just fine! But it's bad to start up a scene with someone and then leave them waiting for more than the two days; if someone does leave you hanging, feel free to wrap it up and write them out of your little bit of story.

				Yesterday was a lot of fun. ^_^<br><br>Had a birthday party with friends, though it was partially interrupted by the mormons of the group wandering out for one of their bi-yearly meetings and then coming back when it was over for the Pathfinder game that I run.&nbsp; I got all of the miniatures for the iconic characters of the Pathfinder RPG as presents, and then I nearly killed the halfling rogue when he wandered out of town to look at a sunken barge with only the cleric as backup.&nbsp; There was a giant snapping turtle inside the sunken barge, using it as a lair.&nbsp; And lets not forget the tentacle monster that had grabbed the barbarian, picked him up, and decided that the party wasn't worth the trouble.&nbsp; It threw the barbarian at the cleric.&nbsp; And rolled a critical hit.&nbsp; I determined that the base damage of a 260 lbs. barbarian was 2d6 with a x2 crit.&nbsp; And considering that the critter had a +13 Str modifier, neither of them were happy.<br><br>But it was fun. ^_^

				Hey guys, I'd like to keep the game moving along, so I will just repeat that we're looking at ~48 hours between posts, especially if you have a follow-up of some sort to respond to. Right now we have a handful of characters that seem very quiet.<br><br>Katrina and Justine have just entered the kitchen, and nothing much has happened in the past five days. Poor Kara has been cooking for a long time now.<br><br>Imogene, dearest, get dressed and meet everyone downstairs. You're at five days as well, so come along now. :P<br><br>Sebastian has been holding his poor sister up in the air for ~9 days now. Do something with the poor girl.<br><br>Antoinette has been flirting with Kolette for 14 days now. <br><br>Lily has completed dissappeared off the face of the planet for even longer! Her exams must have gone well, and she ran out and had a week of drunken revels and ended up marrying some guy in Hawaii at a beach-side Elvis chapel...or something.<br><br>My mind wanders when I don't know what's going on.<br><br>So, here's an easy way out. If you guys find that you're a bit bored with the game, please post and just let me know. <strong>There's absolutely no hard feelings.</strong> I'd rather run the story with 3-4 players and have it go more quickly, and be more interesting, than struggle along with twice as many half-interested people. :P<br><br>I can run all of your characters as NPCs if needed, and I have no problem with writing tons around the characters that stay to keep their personal plots interesting. <strong>For those that stay, I'd like to express that I'm 100% still here and interested and involved with this project.</strong>

				Also, for those that do stay (and I kind of expect we're going to lose a couple people), I'm going to provide a lot more plot for each of you...directed right at you. Before, with such a large cast, I was hoping that players would interact and develop story between themselves. Crushes, attractions, hatred, etc. And I think a few people have felt more like they're in this story, writing alone; and I haven't been going out of my way to step in to fill that void.<br><br>For those who do stay, you'll find that your characters will get a lot more attention from the cast and NPCs. That's the end of my rant. :P<br><br>Almost. I even have another story planned out after this one that involves the city of Port-a-Lucine, and the more bawdry side of things. A haunted opera house, prostitutes dying in the streets...kind of a mix between Phantom of the Opera and Jack the Ripper, with quite a few other surprises thrown in. So, if you think you can commit time and energy, please stick with the game. I guarantee that there will be big payoffs :P

				Yup, okay, that's perfect. I'm trying to get everyone out of bed and outside as we speak. I agree the pacing has been a bit slow, and I'd like to correct that. Okay, you two are all good. I just want to check to make sure with the rest of the group. I'll likely start to leave people behind after the 48 hour mark; so the pacing should improve a lot. Thanks for replying you two ^^

You might skip the hunt but go to the dinner with everyone else. Also, if you stumble on a hint or scary experience, the other players would completely miss it. There's really just one story here.

				I don't know to be honest, there is just so much to read through that I very often miss all these hints and scary stuff anyways as I tend to just read the post (s) of the people in the room with me.&nbsp; Breaking it up by floors I think would keep what you want but make it easier on people to read.&nbsp; I'm a bit loose with anything thats been happening outside of Justine and Kat and Myrleena's stuff in the library.<br><br><br>I'm not trying to be critical just helpful.&nbsp; If I'm the only person who feels this way though, then I will shut my pretty mouth :)

				No, it's okay. I want everyone to be happy. What we could do, is just open up a second (or maybe a third, if it becomes important), utility thread. It wouldn't be for any specific purpose, except to separate off groups when they split from the main story. So, when you and Lady Kat run off to explore, that could take place in one of the threads. I would like to see them more as 'rooms' that get used for certain story segments, and then you would rejoin the main thread when it was appropriate. Would that help a bit, maybe?<br><br>What I can do (and it's just a tiny bit more work for me), is post a link to your message in the other thread when you leave the main story thread, and then post a link back from that second thread to main thread when you rejoin the group. That way people can smoothly follow your story if they'd like to read it. Whenever something important happens in the main thread, I'll post an OOC note in these other threads to alert you to the specific post.<br><br>So it would work like this:<br><br>Main Story: Blah blah blah, Lady Kat drags Justine to the storeroom; you guys drop down into one of the private threads that's not being used atm. I can make a note that's easy to read, and uniform, that says, "The scene between Lady Kat and Justine in the storeroom continues on (link to your post in that thread)here(/link)." The main story continues, and you guys write away. When you're done, I'll post another link in the second thread that reads, "Lady Kat and Justine have moved back to the main thread (link back to your first new post in the main thead)here(/link)"<br><br>The two things I'd want to avoid are:<br><br>1. Threads not staying synced in time. When time passes in the main thread (transition from night to the next day), it should also transition in all of these other threads. So you guys might have to wrap up a scene to keep up with the rest of the group. If someone starts screaming in the room next door, but you're two days behind, that doesn't work so well.<br><br>2. Starting up 50 Kazillion threads with 12 posts each. That makes the story more difficult to follow for everyone else, and confusing. "Wait, Atoinette is fucking Kolette in the library? But Sylria and Ashley and Ivy are having tea there right now." That gets confusing. We can have a max of maybe 2-3 threads for the story, and if all the threads are in use, then people just need to stick to the main thread. Also, if doesn't bother you to stay in the main thread, please do.<br><br>Does this sound like a plan to those who care? ^^

				Oh, it's okay...maybe a little lonely. Maybe she could find someone specific that she likes well enough to bond with. I could introduce a servant girl that she might relate to, if that would help. Someone kind of bookish; it would turn off the nobles if you were openly friendly with her (who cares, though), but I'm sure they wouldn't deny you a maid if you asked for one.

				After a talk with Alluistras, we've decided to make Marie Brun not blood-related to Gregor Brun. We have nothing against others playing incestuous relationships (no judgments from us, if it's just play), but we just felt for the group story, that it would be best to make a distinction here.<br><br>This is all OOC, but as far as the story goes, Marie was adopted by Gregor after her parents were killed by Falkovnian soldiers. She was in her late teens (think 16-17), and no one else wanted anything from her at the time. He offered her his fire, and warm meals; gradually, over time, he began to prey on her sexually as well. She's more like his wife, than daughter, in most ways, and she's currently in her early twenties.<br><br>However, IC, characters are free to think what they wish and draw their own conclusions. It certainly <strong>looks</strong> bad! :P

				By the way, after being exposed to the Pathfinder system, we're probably going to be using it as our base game system. It's very similar to the rules we were already using, except that everything is available online for free (which I like a lot). I the next week or so, I'm going to make sure that everyone has a working character sheet. Also, all of the casters will be able to pick out their own spells, which should be neat.<br><br>And...Ivy's horse is named Apple Blossom and Lillian's horse is named Winter's Bliss. Does anyone else feel like this just became a game of My-Little-Pony-gone-horror-story?<br><br>And...and...that'll be the plan, Chel. You'll be able to save her from mean old Gregor Brun very soon, I promise. She actually had a very grim future ahead of *hides her notes on NPC deaths* and you've saved her from her original fate. Go you!<br><br>Also...I'm going to be moving the story ahead to the hunt, very, very soon. So if you have anything to say, make sure it's said before noon tomorrow.

				Haha! Yup, I like it a lot. It's D&amp;D 3.5, but prettier and more polished. We're going with it. Stats and sheets haven't been a big part of the game, mostly because I wanted characters to develop, and I wanted to include as many people as possible, but we'll gradually use them more and more as time goes on. For those who survive til a second, future story, we'll be much more rules-centric by then.<br><br>Even now, it would be neat to be using stats and skills to figure out how well people do with certain actions...but I'm just as fine with role playing it all out. The game has been working beautifully so far. But yup, if you guys want to update your characters to the Pathfinder system, by all means do so. It shouldn't take much work at all.

				Okay, I'm playing with the Pathfinder stuffs, and I have a couple of questions... first off, there seem to be far fewer skill points available in Pathfinder. Is that correct? For example, Bella's 3.5 character sheet spent, what, 44 points on skills? Kat gets 5 in Pathfinder, unless I'm doing it wrong somewhere.<br><br>Second (and this is just for clarity) I'm assuming the human bonus of +2 to an Ability is taken into account with our already generous stats, yes? We don't get an extra +2?<br>

				In 3.5, you quadruple your normal 1st level skill points.&nbsp; In pathfinder you don't.&nbsp; But you do get a +3 bonus for taking ranks in any class skill.&nbsp; So it's the same benefit as maxing them all out in 3.5.&nbsp; So that makes cross-class skills cost only 1 point per rank as well, they just don't get the +3 bonus.<br><br>In addition, if you take a level in your favored class (for us humans, any class), you can get +1 HP or +1 skill point each level.&nbsp; So for being a rogue (8) with 20 Int (5, assuming humans get a +2 ability), human (1), in my favored class (1), I got 15 skill points.

That fits into the spell very well in my mind. As far as ability points go, we should probably do the point buy thing. You can find the chart with the price for different ability scores on this page. (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/basics-ability-scores/ability-scores) We'll do 42 points.<br><br>I got his number by taking the old rule:<br><br><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Stats: You start out with the following stats, allocated in any manner you prefer: 18, 16, 14, 14, 10, 10.

So if you're happy with those stats, just keep them. And for someone else who asked, all stat mods for race (humans get +2 to any one stat) happen after the point buy system. I don't mind that the characters are a bit more sturdy. As much as we do get into fights (this is primarily a creepy, social-mystery RP), I'll tailor everything to the relative power of the characters :P

				Also...if anyone has any more questions (or if I missed anything), feel free to bring it up again. A few of your fellow players (who likely know the system better than me) seem to be answering most of them. <br><br>Chel, at the request of Imogene, I'm going to drop romantic interests for both of your characters, so you two can play together a bit more. If either of you find yourself bored or unsatisfied, or one or the other of you two stop posting, please let me know and I can revive alternate interests. My main point here is that romantic interests (and other personal plots) keep things interesting for various players, and I don't want anyone to feel like they're playing alone.

				Sure, Imogene can crush on anyone she'd like. Alluistras (ie Viktor) says there should be love triangles, etc. I just don't want to go overboard on flirting between Ivy and Imogene, for example, if you secretly want to guide your characters into Imogene / Ashley scenes. It's not much fun for Ashley to be sitting around for a week while we have a long Ivy / Imogene first kiss scene. If we're going to have multiple romantic interests going on, I'd like to introduce another companion for Ashley, for the times when she has nothing to really do. My main priority is making sure that no one feels left out; everyone should have someone to play out scenes (romantic, erotic, or otherwise) with at all times.<br><br>There could be plenty of Imogene / Ashley / Ivy scenes, however :P

				Well, at least with Craft, you can use the skill untrained, so you could say you know how to do calligraphy and glassmaking, you just have +0 rather than +1 to it.&nbsp; If you got Handle animal, Intimidate, Knowledge (royalty), and Ride, your skills as a whole would only be 1 lower, with those four a bit higher (except the Knowledge).<br><br>That's just my view.&nbsp; The rest is up to Faeylin.

				Actually, I like the way the new skill set works a whole lot. You get more points, no cross class penalties, and they even bundled a bunch of the rogue skills. Unless someone can make a really compelling argument for something else, I like the way it's written a whole lot. Also, your attributes can influence skills a whole lot as well. Someone with an 18 Int, and one rank in a Knowledge, has +5 in that skill, which is pretty phenomenal. And if it happens to be a class skill, you get another +3 on top of that, which ends up being +8 at level one.<br><br>Really, we're not going to be doing much in the way of power-gaming. It's all relative. If you mow through something that was supposed to be scary, then the next thing you face, will be much more scary. So it's not like you're going to get an advantage by tweaking things a whole lot.<br><br>Conversely, if someone plays a character with very little combat prowess, I'm likely to give them a challenge that suits them, as opposed to the scary monster the warrior would have to deal with. :P<br><br>So just describe your character through stats and skills as best as you can.<br><br>Also, for magical things, Phantom, you start with three items of your choice (at the end of the character creation info). I'd like for them to describe your character, more than anything else. An old locket, a rusted blade, a family heirloom sword. If you need/want something magical over time, that kind of stuff will pop up, I promise. ^^

				But ladies who-cannot-figure-out D&amp;D!&nbsp; I think you're looking at the forests instead of the trees!&nbsp; Let me see if I can help!<br><br>First, the daunting task of making a character shouldn't be so daunting at'all.&nbsp; After all, your character is half made.&nbsp; "But Phantom, how is my character half made when I am still looking at just a scratch?"&nbsp; Ah, my fair maidens, tis' not but a scratch sheet that you're looking at!&nbsp; For on the very top, you will notice that you are playing human sorceresses!&nbsp; :o&nbsp; Half the battle is done, now it's all about pruning the tree.<br><br>So, a human looks like this:<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Human Traits</span><br>+2 to One Ability Score (more on ability scores below);<br>Medium Size (not very important for beginning players);<br>Normal Speed (not very important in a game without a map);<br>Bonus Feat:&nbsp; (more on feats later!);<br>Skilled:&nbsp; (Humans gain an additional skill rank; more on skills later!);<br>Languages:&nbsp; (Humans begin speaking the common language;&nbsp; in Ravenloft, the main language is Mortandesh or something like that).<br><br>ON TOP OF THIS, you ladies are sorceresses.&nbsp; A LVL 1 Sorceress looks like this:<br><br>Skills:&nbsp; 2 + INT<br>Base Attack Bonus:&nbsp; +0<br>Fort:&nbsp; +0<br>Ref:&nbsp; +0<br>Will:&nbsp; +2<br>HP:&nbsp; 6<br>Special:&nbsp; Bloodline Power, Cantrips, Eschew Materials*<br>Spells Per Day:&nbsp; 3 First Level Spells<br><br><strong>Attributes</strong><br><br>You're probably looking at that information and thinking to yourself, 'but how do I fit into that?'&nbsp; And it's all very simply explained that the rules are all derived from the six primary abilities.&nbsp; While I have heard of other abilities being house-ruled or used in campaign settings (comeliness, for example), the main six abilities in Ravenloft (and most of all D&amp;D for that matter) are Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Wisdom, Intelligence and Charisma.<br><br>Strength is gauges your ability to lift items, swing a weapon and deal damage;&nbsp; Dexterity gauges how quickly you can move out of the way of impending danger and how easily you move about a battlefield;&nbsp; Constitution is your physical endurance, durability and resilience to pain;&nbsp; Wisdom gauges your capability to understand your surroundings, know truth from fiction and overcome your fears;&nbsp; and Charisma is the social ability that gauges beauty and the influence you have on others.<br><br>The average ability score on any of these is 10.&nbsp; An individual with 12 strength lifts weights on a regular basis, a 14 strength is probably a light-weight professional boxer or amateur wrestler, a 16 is a football player, an 18 is an olympic athlete that focuses on weightlifting and finally a 20 represents the peak of physical strength that the race could possibly ever possess.<br><br>Since the GM is so kind, we have been given 42 points to mess around with.&nbsp; This means that you can buy your ability attributes using the following table.<br><br>10/0<br>11/1<br>12/2<br>13/3<br>14/5<br>15/7<br>16/10<br>17/13<br>18/17<br><br>Notice how you cannot buy a 20!&nbsp; The only way to start off with a twenty is to have a racial background bonus, which is applied after you've added your points.<br><br>Say that Risa wants a sorceress that has amazing charisma (as they tend to have), she would elect to have an 18 in Charisma.&nbsp; That's worth 17 points, and that would mean that she has 25 points left to spend.&nbsp; Say that she also wants to be intelligent, but doesn't want to spend that much pointwise because she's concerned about putting points into other stats, she would pay 10 points for a 16 attribute.<br><br>Currently, her character looks like:&nbsp; STR ?? DEX ?? CON ?? WIS ?? INT 16 CHA 18.<br><br>Risa might decide that she wants her character to be somewhat nible, so with the fifteen points left, she decides to purchase 14 dexterity at 5.&nbsp; That leaves her with ten points.<br><br>So:&nbsp; STR ?? DEX 14 CON ?? WIS ?? INT 16 CHA 18.<br><br>She might not think her noble sorceress to be that tough or strong, so she might put the remainder of her points (10) into Wisdom.&nbsp; So her character looks like:<br><br>STR 10&nbsp; DEX 14&nbsp; CON 10&nbsp; WIS 14 INT 16&nbsp; CHA 18.<br><br>On top of that, Risa might decide to add a +2 to CHA because she wants her character to be the most beautiful woman anyone had ever laid eyes on.&nbsp; So, the CHA becomes a 20.

				Now Risa's character statwise represents a beaaaaaaaaaaautiful woman who is intelligent and possesses her wits about her on top of that.&nbsp; A real dangerous woman if you ask me.&nbsp; However, she is fairly average when it comes to strength and constitution because, let's face it, she's a sorceress who gets by with her looks.&nbsp; Of course, Risa can do something else with her sorceress (obviously), but I hope you understand the example.<br><br>To further the example, let me show you the stats of Alfreic:<br><br>STR 16, DEX 14, CON 20, WIS 10, INT 10, CHA 16.<br><br>Alfreic isn't slow, persay, he's just not any more intelligent than regular adventurers, peasants and most anyone.&nbsp; He is also not very wise.&nbsp; In game terms, I describe his wisdom as being fairly average because he's distracted constantly.&nbsp; Now, he is a looker and has a commanding presence, so I gave him a 16.&nbsp; He also has a strength of 16 and a dexterity of 14, which means that he's relatively imposing on the battlefield and can dodge a stray arrow here and there.&nbsp; His dexterity can be explained as being JUST a 14 because Alfreic typically utilizes armors which restrict movement.&nbsp; His strength is formidable, but he's not an overly musclebound human with muscle on top of muscle-- so I thought an 18 might be inappropriate.&nbsp; However, Alfreic is the toughest S.O.B. imaginable.&nbsp; <br><br>This is how stats start playing into your character.<br><br>Stats give you bonuses.&nbsp; The bonuses are broken up as such:<br><br>10-11 / +0<br>12-13 / +1<br>14-15 / +2<br>16-17 / +3<br>18-19 / +4<br>20-21 / +5<br><br>Notice that you CAN get a higher score in your attributes.&nbsp; When you hit every fourth level (4, 8, 12, 16, 20, etc.), you can add one extra attribute point.&nbsp; You can also add to your ability scores with magic items.<br><br>Risa would have a +5 CHA bonus, a +3 INT bonus, a +2 DEX bonus, etc.<br><br>Let's go back to the original sorceress template!<br><br>Skills:&nbsp; 2 + INT<br>Base Attack Bonus:&nbsp; +0<br>Fort:&nbsp; +0<br>Ref:&nbsp; +0<br>Will:&nbsp; +2<br>HP:&nbsp; 6<br>Special:&nbsp; Bloodline Power, Cantrips, Eschew Materials*<br>Spells Per Day:&nbsp; 3 First Level Spells<br><br>To skills, Risa would take her sorceresses' intelligence and add it to the 2, to get a total of 5 ranks of skills which she can place over the following skills:<br><br>Appraise (INT)<br>Bluff (Cha)<br>Craft (Int)<br>Fly (Dex)<br>Intimidate (Cha)<br>Knowledge (Arcana) (Int)<br>Profession (Wis)<br>Spellcraft (Int)<br>Use Magic Device (Cha).<br><br>Of course, there are a few caveats here which we should cover;&nbsp; since Sorceresses is Risa's chosen class, she gets an extra rank per level;&nbsp; on top of that, she's also to receive an extra rank per level because she's a human.&nbsp; So instead of 5 ranks, she gets 7 ranks.<br><br>Since she's a noble, she'll put one rank in Appraise and Bluff.&nbsp; Since she's a magician, she'll also put a rank into Knowledge (Arcana), Spellcraft and Use Magic Device.&nbsp; Since she wants to be capable rider, she'll use her remaining two points in skills that aren't specific to her sorceress:&nbsp; Ride and Handle Animal.<br><br>So, her stats look like this:<br><br>Appraise (Int):&nbsp; 1 +INT<br>Bluff (Cha):&nbsp; 1 + CHA<br>Knowledge (Arcana):&nbsp; 1 +INT<br>Spellcraft:&nbsp; 1+INT<br>Use Magic Device:&nbsp; 1 + Cha<br><br>and<br><br>Ride (Dex) 1 + DEX<br>Handle Animal:&nbsp; 1 + CHA<br><br>Because of rules, a character receives an extra +3 to skills in CLASS SKILLS (listed way above).&nbsp; So, Risa would have:<br><br>Appraise (Int):&nbsp; 4 +INT<br>Bluff (Cha):&nbsp; 4 + CHA<br>Knowledge (Arcana):&nbsp; 4 +INT<br>Spellcraft:&nbsp; 4+INT<br>Use Magic Device:&nbsp; 4 + Cha<br><br>Not bad!<br><br>Skills:&nbsp; 7<br>Base Attack Bonus:&nbsp; +0<br>Fort:&nbsp; +0<br>Ref:&nbsp; +0<br>Will:&nbsp; +2<br>HP:&nbsp; 6<br>Special:&nbsp; Bloodline Power, Cantrips, Eschew Materials*<br>Spells Per Day:&nbsp; 3 First Level Spells<br><br>Now, her Base Attack Bonus represents the base number which she uses when she is rolling to strike someone with a melee or ranged weapon.&nbsp; The sorceress isn't good with attacking, so it's a 0.&nbsp; A melee attack is typically the BAB (Base Attack Bonus) + the Strength Modifier.&nbsp; A ranged attack is typically a BAB + Dex modifier.<br><br>Risa would have either a +0 to melee attack, or a +2 to ranged attacks.&nbsp; Yikes!<br><br>You will now see the FORT, REF and WILL save base modifiers.&nbsp; These save modifiers are somewhat important in D&amp;D, because as you might already know, there are more ways to skin the cat when it comes to creating damage.&nbsp; You could mentally attack someone, or you could throw a really, really, really big rock at someone from the edge of a cliff.&nbsp; You might even inflict poison!!&nbsp; These saves are reactionary.&nbsp; Fortitude represents the internal ability to overcome duress, fatigue, stress and suffocation-- it can also be used to resist poisons or stay alive after a killing blow.&nbsp; Reflex is your ability to react to danger.&nbsp; Will represents your ability to overcome mental attacks and insanity.&nbsp; It is common for geeks all around the world to say, "... I failed my will save this morning," whenever they are depressed.&nbsp; :D<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Special</span><br>These are your special abilities!&nbsp; The first of which is Bloodlines.&nbsp; I suppose I will cover this in my next post.

				I got so sidetracked with myself that I forgot to mention that FORT = Base + CON, REF = Base + DEX and WILL = Base + WIS.<br><br>As I was saying! <br><br>Sorcerers and Sorceresses work on a fundamental mechanic:&nbsp; a part of their bloodline that represents a magical entity allows them to tap into their powers to do wondrous things!&nbsp; Now this doesn't necessarily have to be a person (although it can), it can be an event, a thing, a beast, or whatever.&nbsp; You'll have to look over the list to see what might appeal to you ladies, because the book does an excellent job at describing the bloodlines.<br><br>Cantrips are minor spells.&nbsp; Check out the following Web site:&nbsp; http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spellLists/sorcererWizardSpells.htm#zeroLevelSorcererWizardSpells (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spellLists/sorcererWizardSpells.htm#zeroLevelSorcererWizardSpells) to get an idea as to what a cantrip might be.&nbsp; From my understanding, you can cast cantrips all day.<br><br>Finally, eschew materials.&nbsp; Eschew materials is a feat that allows you to perform magic without using materials.&nbsp; When I say materials, I mean, typically in D&amp;D, magic users need to have a few items to CREATE a spell.&nbsp; For example, if I wanted to cast a fireball, I would have to put together a few components:&nbsp; a piece of coal, a snowflake and an eagle's eye or whatever.&nbsp; You don't have to worry about that.<br><br>---<br><br>A final word on character creation.&nbsp; I'm totally forgetting about feats.&nbsp; Feats are traits that make your characters altogether more special than the regular folk walking around.&nbsp; Alfreic, for example, is super tough and rugged, so he has the feat TOUGHNESS which adds 3 hit points, Great Fortitude which adds +2 to his FORT, and Mounted Combat, since he's a cavalier.<br><br>At any rate, ladies, if you need help with character creation, give anyone a chime.&nbsp; We're super helpful.

				With D&amp;D proper's Unearthed Arcana (i.e. the book of exceptions), there is a list of traits (which are both good and bad, so they don't cost anything), and flaws (which are like negative feats, so they give you a bonus feat).&nbsp; Both are usually limited to 1 or 2 by the DM.<br><br>Surprisingly enough, all the contents of the book are on the d20 srd.

				I do have Unearthed Arcana, but I'm a little wary of straying too far from the vanilla game. What I really love most about Pathfinder is how much flavor they gave to the various classes. You can play almost any exotic heritage by taking a level or two of sorcerer. In the future (especially stories further down the line), we might have room for a tiny number of more exotic races/classes. But that would probably be by proposition/invite only, and each game would likely have no more than one or two such characters in them.<br><br>I like a kind of low-fantasy setting, where elves might be burned at the stake in some places just for being different. Pointed ears? Odd body? An unusual birth mark? Obviously signs that the individual is possessed by a demonic taint. Anything super special or exotic, like a blind character, or someone who is haunted, can be done just in the RP realm. I don't now that we need the system to govern those things.<br><br>If you guys want to use the Pathfinder trait thingie Myrleena dredged up, I'm fine with that. If there's something else you're interested, let me know. And after this game reaches its end (and for those of you who will be going to future games with the rest of us), we can adjust the rules a little bit to be more open. That should let players try out different types of characters, for example.

I was wondering how I'd play this scene for several days, and the newest incarnation in my mind is just wonderful.<br><br>I also have a scene planned out for the hunting party, but we need to get everyone into the forest so that we can get it started.

Is everything going okay, or is there a problem on either end? Please let me know in the OOC thread, or by PM if it's a more private matter.

				Awesome, you guys! Thanks Myrleena! Well, since even poor Imogene finished her sheet up, is there anyone who still needs help, or who wants me to draw up their sheet for them. I'd like to go to using more rules in the near future, so as soon as we have everyone made and up to date, we can swap.<br><br>What that means is that we'll make some rolls whenever people attempt some actions, and then you play out the results of those rolls, for good or bad.<br><br>To take Jack, our mascot, for an example. He would have had to attack Ashley to see if he could grab her. They would both have numbers, and they'd roll, and then I'd be able to say, "Ashley got away, he got her, or she wrestled him down to the ground like a raging Amazon!" It also works with skills too, or any sort of activity that could be in question. Can Imogene break down a door? We roll to find out. Does Viktor's lie convince Sylria? She has a skill to cover how well her character catches falsehoods.<br><br>As soon as I know everyone is all set, we'll be swapping to a heavier use of the rules. You won't need to know anything at all, except how to roll. I'll let you know in OOC notes whether you succeed or fail, etc.

				Also, just a heads up, the Ivy/Imogene/Ashley scene is pretty much at its end (Although they may have plenty of conversation they can play out back on the way back to, and at Avonleigh). We probably need to speed things up with the hunt group. I'm going to try to push that storyline along with more posts. Since everyone in that group has character sheets, we're going to be going rules heavy there. If you don't have a sheet, and you're in the hunt group, raise your hand!

				Well, having a sheet makes things easier.&nbsp; Skills are pretty simple:&nbsp; if you want to hide, roll a 20 sided die and add your Stealth skill bonus (+3).&nbsp; Combat's a little trickier, depending on if you're using a weapon.&nbsp; And spells you would have to look up and read to determine the exact effects.&nbsp; But we can all help.<br><br>Combat's a bit intimidating (http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/combat.html)<br>You can look up what each of your spells do (http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/spellIndex.html)<br>and your elemental bloodline powers (http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/classes/sorcerer.html#sorcerer).&nbsp; Right now that basically means shooting a little lightning bolt 7 times a day.<br><br>Eh, I don't know if that even helps, but at least that's another link to rules.

				Okay guys. Thanks for being patient with me. Tues/Wed are very busy days for me (for raiding in another game), so I'm tons slower. Posting this morning, and I'll see about a Chel character sheet too!<br><br>Oh, and Risa, we can either use real dice (for those that have them), or you can use the Dicebot thingie up above, in the blue E link bar. You put the number of dice in the "Dice" Field. So for 1d6, you'd put a 1 in; for 3d6, you'd enter a 3. Then you enter the number of sides on the die in the second field, "Sides."<br><br>Basically, 1d8 means one roll of an eight-sided die, with a result of 1-8. 3d6 means three rolls of a six-sided-die, with a result of 3-18 [(1 to 6) + (1 to 6) + (1 to 6)]. And so on. For most skills, you roll 1d20, or one roll of a twenty-sided die (1-20) and then add a certain number to the roll. Now that you have a character sheet, I can just say, "Risa roll 1d20 (or 2d6 or 1d4)" and you can roll however, and I can look at your character and reply: "No, you weren't very convincing when you told us that the chocolate 'just fell' off the carriage"

				<strong><span class="bbc_u"><span style="font-family: comic sans ms;" class="bbc_font">Name:</span></span></strong> Lady Ashley Browly, sole child to the Count de Northwood<strong><span class="bbc_u"> HISTORY</span></strong> When Ashley was seven she had her first vision of future events when she thought she saw her mama standing in the nursery wearing nothing but a black cloth rapped about her. When Papa then came in to say that Mama had died giving birth to her new baby brother, Ashley shook her head no, and tried to explain what she had seen. Her widowed father, realizing that his daughter had inherited his grandmama's "curse," kept her sequested for most of her childhood and young womanhood, but as Ashley never mentioned seeing anything unusual again, her father eventually allowed her to go away to finishing school and introduced her to society. <br>However, Ashley’s visions continued. Often reducing her to tears, the visions would come upon her randomly-- sometimes, clear as a bell, she would know what was to happen, but mostly they were in jumbled bits that she would have to decipher, and never did she get a vision that featured her own fate. At least not yet. <strong><span class="bbc_u">PERSONALITY:</span></strong> Not having much experience at all in society, Ashley is a bit shy, but very kind. She often doesn't realize when anyone is flirting with her, and that leaves her open to being teased by both men and women. However, her courage, good spirit, and cheerfulness are winsome and often draw people to her. <strong><span class="bbc_u">DESCRIPTION:</span></strong> Ashley is 5'2"<br>with a tiny waist of 15"<br>She has long red hair curly hair and violet eyes, and her love of reading by candlelight has necessitated that she now wear glasses. <br>She also despises the few freckles that sprinkle across the bridge of her nose dotting the otherwise pristine porcelain face.<br>Feeling herself just average, Ashley doesn't realize how lovely she is. <br>While petite in stature, her body is proportioned perfectly, and she has amazing legs that are firm and lean from all the solitary walks she would take at her father's estate. <strong><span class="bbc_u">TREASURES:</span></strong> She treasure's the Emerald ring with a silver sword imbedded in the stone that was left her from her Great Grandmother’s (on her father's side) estate.&nbsp; She never takes it off.&nbsp; <br>She also treasures a lock of her mother's hair, and a cape that has been in her father's family for 12 generations.<strong><span class="bbc_u"> GOOD OR EVIL:</span></strong> She is neutral good<strong><span style="font-family: arial;" class="bbc_font"> Charisma 20 Dexterity 17&nbsp; Constitution 15 Wisdom 14 Intelligence 13 Strength 10</span></strong><span style="font-family: comic sans ms;" class="bbc_font"> Added +2 to Wisdom for 20<br>Skills:<br>Seeing flashes of the future.

				I don't mind if you or Myrleena help her as much as you want to, Phantom. We're all creating collectively here, so we can help each other out. Just as long as Chel doesn't mind, then it's not a problem at all. But no one is obligated to help out anyone else (except for me). <br><br>I missed you on YIM, it seems, so when you have time, the very next thing to do is to check out this link on the Sorcerer class. &nbsp;(http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/basic-classes/sorcerer)<br><br>Ignore everything up at the top, and go down to the Sorcerer bloodlines. Pick the one that seems like it fits Ashley's source of power the most. Do her powers come from the Fey, from Demons, from Angels, etc. Pick whatever seems the neatest to you, and just post here. I'll update your sheets and we'll continue on. Making characters is really pretty quick once you get the hang of it ^^

				Okay, moving right along (by the way, you haven't popped up on Messenger for me yet), <br><br>Next you should pick out your skills. You can find a page with them all listed, here. (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/skills)<br><br><strong>You get 4 points</strong> (2 Class + 1 Int + 1 Human) to put into those skills. Right now, you can <strong>only have one point in each skill.<br></strong><br>You also have <strong>a choice of taking either +1 skill points</strong> (so you can pick a fifth skill) <strong>or taking +1 hit point</strong> (makes you a little more sturdy).<br><br>You can use most of the skills without having any points in them. The skills that say "No," in the Untrained column require at least one point to use. You also get a big bonus to any class skills (skills that say "C" in the Sor Column) as long <strong>as you put at least one point there.</strong> So pick what feels best (Phantom gave you his suggestions), and you can always read up on any skill that interests you.<br><br>Don't get too bogged down in the details. Pick what would fit Ashley's character the most! And we're mostly done.

				Also, for those of you who are new (Imogene and Ashley), two other characters have gotten themselves into some trouble in another thread. (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=49490.25) If you want to keep an eye on how things flow, it might help you get more comfy with things. If you ever get confused, just ask for help, and we can explain. ^^<br><br>Also, I'm going to be working up an experience system for our game. It's likely that I'll have 3-4 mechanics to weigh experience on, and I'll probably give everyone some at the end of each story divider / chapter (likely divided into days, for this story). You won't get any expressly for killing things (and running away is always an option), but it's more likely to be based on roleplaying, activity, and there will be something to account for how much danger your characters were in. I'll figure it out shortly, and you guys can input on it as well.

				I'm probably only going to get 2-3 posts in today, so I'll be slow. I want to get Sylria/Lily situated in the library, and Imogene/Ivy back to Avonleigh, and continue Alfreic's scene. For those on the hunt (Viktor/Kolette), you two should post something for me to work with, but take your time because I have a busy day. :P<br><br>Oh, and Chel, I wasn't going to post again until the girls got back to Avonleigh. They're fairly safe where they are, so if you want to just note in your post that you wait a tiny bit and then go, that's fine. The first scene for you, after that, would be arriving at the hunter's camp, with Estelle and Richard Dupont.

				Thank you Myrleena *huggles* Any chance you'd want to finish up Chel's too *asks and then hides* She just needs spells and skills and languages, I think. *she meeps from hiding* I can do it too, just so, incredibly busy. I could like, bribe you somehow! :P<br><br>Also, since you're a Pathfinder expert, I'm setting up a chase scene for Marie, and I wondered if there were any specific rules for overland chases anywhere in Pathfinder. I can just make up something that works, but if there are rules, we can use those too.<br><br>And I'll post to the main thread shortly. Just had to get those two encounters set up...but on a positive note, the whole combat setup thing is getting to be really quick for me. Also, since combat is a lot of responses back and forth, we're going to fully embrace Transgirlenstein's idea of private threads. Someday, if we get our own forum, we might just create a new thread for each combat encounter...but for now, I think we should keep it down to as few private threads as possible. So the rooms will be recycled.<br><br>Might be a tiny bit of a slowdown over the next few days as multiple groups enter into combat phases, but I promise to keep everything updated as best as I can. My priority for posting will be: Ongoing combat (short, quick posts we need to move through quickly), roleplay posting (takes a bit more time), and finally new combat encounters (takes the largest amount of time). But I won't leave anyone hanging for too long, I swear it!

				*laughs* Sorry, I just don't have as much of a feel for Chel's character yet.&nbsp; I mean, I don't know what skills I would even <em>choose</em> for her characters, so I don't know what I would do.&nbsp; Honestly, converting Queen's character was extremely simple.<br><br>But unfortunately there are not any rules for overland chases (yet).&nbsp; The closest that I've seen is making opposed Con checks, and whomever gets the higher roll is the one that wins the 'contest'.&nbsp; Not what you want, I figure, though.

				Well, I guess it depends on what scale you're looking at.&nbsp; From higher up, it can just be overland movement, endurance checks for horses, Survival checks for navigating shortcuts.&nbsp; Closer down, there are movement speeds, run speeds, mounted archery (-4 to shoot on double move, -8 to shoot while running, less with Mounted Archery feat), rough terrain slowing people down (and avoiding it with Survival/Knowledge (geography)/leaping over with the lower of your Ride and the horse's Jump), attempting to trap those behind by cutting/knocking terrain in the way.<br><br>I like the example of 4ed skill challenges, where you have to succeed X times before you fail Y times, and you can set a few obvious checks, but the player can suggest other plausible things to do as well.

				RE: Chases and other interactions that don't come down to tactical, I'd suggest doing opposed skill checks, 4ed skill challenges, opposed percentile with ad hoc bonuses, you name it. You can choose more random routes or put it in the favor of the players (usually) with skill challenges, or make it directly opposed / random with opposing skill checks.<br><br>Or whatever else you want to do.<br><br>That way you don't have to get into the tactical / micromanagement of it, anyway. :3

				Throws big hugs and kisses to myrleena as she looks at a finished character sheet for Ashley and she even understand some of it! *woot woot*<br>&nbsp;<br>Thank you thank you thank you!<br>&nbsp;<strong><span class="bbc_u"><span style="font-family: comic sans ms;" class="bbc_font"> Name:</span></span></strong> Lady Ashley Browly, sole child to the Count de Northwood<br><span style="font-size: 1.35em;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u"> Age&nbsp; </span></strong></span><span style="font-size: 1em;" class="bbc_size">22<br><strong><span class="bbc_u">HISTORY</span></strong> When Ashley was seven she had her first vision of future events when she thought she saw her mama standing in the nursery wearing nothing but a black cloth rapped about her. When Papa then came in to say that Mama had died giving birth to her new baby brother, Ashley shook her head no, and tried to explain what she had seen. Her widowed father, realizing that his daughter had inherited his grandmama's "curse," kept her sequestered for most of her childhood and young womanhood, but as Ashley never mentioned seeing anything unusual again, her father eventually allowed her to go away to finishing school and introduced her to society. <br>However, Ashley's visions continued. Often reducing her to tears, the visions would come upon her randomly-- sometimes, clear as a bell, she would know what was to happen, but mostly they were in jumbled bits that she would have to decipher, and never did she get a vision that featured her own fate. At least not yet. <br>&nbsp;<br><strong><span class="bbc_u">PERSONALITY:</span></strong> Not having much experience at all in society, Ashley is a bit shy, but very kind. She often doesn't realize when anyone is flirting with her, and that leaves her open to being teased by both men and women. However, her courage, good spirit, and cheerfulness are winsome and often draw people to her. However, since Jack's attack, her backbone comes to the forefront and the childlike quality and playfulness that infused her character is replaced by the visage of a determined adult woman bent on protecting herself and her friends when she can from whatever is set on harming them.<br>&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<strong><span class="bbc_u">DESCRIPTION:</span></strong> Ashley is 5'2"<br>with a tiny waist of 18"<br>weight 118<br>She has long red hair curly hair and violet eyes, and her secret love is reading whatever she can get her hands on. <br>She also despises the few freckles that sprinkle across the bridge of her nose dotting the otherwise pristine porcelain face.<br>Feeling herself just average, Ashley doesn't realize how lovely she is. <br>While petite in stature, her body is proportioned perfectly, and she has amazing legs that are firm and lean from all the solitary walks she would take at her father's estate and the frequent rides on her favorite stallion.<br>&nbsp;<br><strong><span class="bbc_u">TREASURES:</span></strong> She treasure's the Ruby ring with a silver sword embedded in the stone that was left her from her Great Grandmother%u2019s (on her father's side) estate., that she never removes.<br>She also treasures a lock of her mother's hair that she has woven into a bracelet, and a cape that has been in her father's family for 12 generations.<strong><span class="bbc_u"> GOOD OR EVIL:</span></strong> She is neutral good<br>&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br><strong><span style="font-family: arial;" class="bbc_font">Wisdom 20 Intelligence 17 Constitution 15 Charisma 14 Dex 13 Strength 10</span></strong></span><span style="font-family: comic sans ms;" class="bbc_font"> Added&nbsp; 2 to Wisdom for 20<br>&nbsp;<br><strong>kill</strong></span>&nbsp; die value 1d 6<br>dies at -15<br>speed human speed of 30 feet<br>Each turn, you can have one MOVE action or a STANDARD action<br>MOVE will allow you to move things or yourself<br>STANDARD will allow you to move things or cast spells.<br>Or you can combine them in a full out run in a straight line to maximise your run at (x4)120 feet.<br><br>FORTITUDE, REFLEX, WILL SAVES<br>Level 1 <br>Only bonus is Will Save bonus&nbsp; 2<br>Saved Spells = 3<br>Extra bonus spell = 2<br>Total spells a day = 5<br>Class level is how many levels of Sorcerer you have.<br>Spells are separated into 10 levels to show how powerful they are.<br><br><br>A level 1 to level 3 can only cast 1<sup>st</sup> level or 0 level spells.<br>&nbsp;<br><span style="font-size: 2em;" class="bbc_size">Ashley has 6 spells known</span><span style="font-size: 1em;" class="bbc_size"> 4 at zero and 2 at 1<sup>st</sup>.<br>She can do as many catnip as she wants.<br><span style="font-size: 1.45em;" class="bbc_size"><strong>SKILLS<br></strong></span>You can put ranks on any skill.<br>But Charisma (class skill gets a&nbsp; 3)<br><strong>SKILLS<br></strong>Bluff<br>Diplomacy<br>Sense motive <br>Perception<br>Sense Magical Device<br></span><span style="font-size: 1em;" class="bbc_size"><br><strong><span style="font-size: 1.45em;" class="bbc_size">SPECIAL SKILL FOR BEING A SORCERER</span></strong><br>Eschew Materials<br><br><span style="font-size: 1.45em;" class="bbc_size"><strong>BLOODLINE ARCANA</strong></span><br>FIRE ELEMENTAL: allows you to replace energy of spells with fire damage.<br>Elemental movement <br>Fire&nbsp; 30 feet base speed<br>Has an elemental Ray of 1d6 starting at first level which unleash an elemental ray as a standard action targeting any foe within 30 feet as a ranged touch attack.

I so wanted to do it, but I was having trouble finding the time. Thank as well, Phantom. If anyone ever needs help, feel free to help each other out. I love that you guys are so awesome with each other. ^^<br><br>Promise, promise to catch up in the morning...and sneak some in tonight as well.

				Odin's just passing along some information. We may or may not be allowing material outside of the basic/core Pathfinder book. I really need to look over this new supplement (that comes from a third party) before I weigh in on it. One big reason I'd like to stay away from anything not freely available on the web (and a big reason we went with Pathfinder) is that everything we play with (all the rules) is freely available on a wiki. I'm hesitant about getting into anything more complicated.

				Sure. No, it's perfectly okay. You're kind of new, so it's a good to learn as you go along and no one is trying to give you a hard time about anything...definitely not me. You don't always use charisma checks with other players so much...but you can when you want to. Usually you can roll a charisma check (that's what we call it) to see how convincing you are, or how appealing your character might be. But because it's not a charm spell, for example, it just gives the other character an idea of how they might react.<br><br>If you tried to make a charisma check against someone who was very shy, they might get nervous or blush, for example...that player could still ignore your character's requests, for whatever reasons, but the charisma check (if high) tell us that a player's reaction might be along the lines of: <br><br>"This really hot girl just asked me to do this! Does she like me? May I should help her. I wonder if..."<br><br>"That really makes a lot of sense when she puts it that way. I kind of agree, but I don't know...I really want to do things my way too."<br><br>"Maybe she's right? I don't want to believe her, but she could be telling the truth."<br><br>"Sure! That sounds like a good plan. I'm happy to do whatever she wants to do."<br><br>etc.<br><br>But the other character doesn't have to be convinced or act in any specific way by the roll. It has a certain amount to do with their personality and nature. Someone who is bad, like Viktor, might not care if you're right or not. Ashley comes in and sees Viktor forcing a household maid. She rolls a charisma check (really high) and asks him to let her go. His reaction might be:<br><br>"Well, she's rather appealing as well. And she's right, I am being bad. Very, very bad. I'd love to hold her down and make her watch before I do her too. She's so sweet and innocent...it'll only make it that much more enjoyable."<br><br>So in this case, approaching Alfreic and making a charisma check to support what you say tells his player that maybe Alfreic wouldn't just dismiss her and ignore her. Maybe the sight of Ashley is enough to make him pause and maybe even go along with her actions. But the player is still free to decide that Alfreic is so focused on something else right now, that he would still continue on. He should in some way acknowledge your request, as in:<br><br>Alfreic paused for a moment, on seeing Ashley. She was compelling. Something dark and evil was afoot, but his rage wouldn't let him stop. "More foul tricks. I'll have your ethereal head, you witch," he roared, as he ran off into the woods after Colleen<br><br>or<br><br>Alfreic paused for a moment, shocked at the sight of Ashley. Was she really here, or was this another trick? "Ashley?" he asked, barely constraining his rage. "Is that...is it you?" He murmured, rubbing one large hand over his face. He hardly knew the girl, but the sight of her was enough to calm him. He took several steps forward, forgetting the demon for a moment, and embraced her. "Yes. Yes, something evil is going on here. I swear I won't succumb to it." Turning, and yelling up into the trees, he roared, "Do you hear me witch! I won't play your games and the next time I see you, I'll sever that pretty head from your body." He nodded to Ashley. "Let's get back to Avonleigh."<br><br>...or so on. You can do this with all the social skills as well, like bluff. If you lie, you don't have to make a check unless the other player asks you to. You can make a check at any time, though, and once you do, it means that the lie has a value. It could be a good lie, or a bad lie. People with high Sense Motive skills would catch that you were lying right away on a low roll. Others might not. <br><br>And in this one specific case, trying to calm Alfreic, the skill you'd actually use is Diplomacy (which is charisma + any ranks you have in diplomacy + 3 for it being a class skill). Looking at your character sheet, you'd actually roll a 20 + 5 (Charisma) + 3 (ranks you have in it) + 3 (class skill), for a total of 31, which makes you extremely convincing!<br><br>If you don't mind, I'll plop these little posts in as we go along, to kind of get you used tot he rules if it helps. If I'm just confusing you, you can let me know that too. ^^

				I just had room for a half-gypsy in the game as the other exotic (besides Sylria), so to speak. We don't actually need one, but it's a fun role that you or someone else could eventually take.

				No, not really. If she's part gypsy, she could have stolen her three items, or they might be family heirlooms, etc. It has more to do with social class...nobles would look down on her because she's not upper-class. Also, if you want to do something, like rent a room at a hotel, you'd have to go with someplace less expensive unless one of the other characters with money vouches for you.<br><br>On the other hand, being lower-class might have perks in upcoming stories (or even this one). Servants are more willing to talk with you, because you're more one of them. Or you might get more from a seedy bar, etc.<br><br>Whichever seems the most fun to you.

				Awesome. I think that's an awesome choice! If you can manage to find a copy of the Sword &amp; Sorcery D&amp;D 3.5 Ravenloft core book, there's some excellent material on gypsies in there. We're not using any of the special rules, but it has a lot of flavor about them that you might find interesting. There are different tribes, and so on.<br><br>And yup, just because Dee isn't a noble, doesn't mean that she can't have major attitude! She certainly doesn't have to act lower-class. I would think that a part-gypsy character would consider anyone above her, even if the nobles might try to snipe at her from time to time. ^^

				Just for the moment, Risa. We're still busy and active, just had a slow spell there. We're waiting on Dee's post before the two Marie's can continue, and there's a fight going on with the hunting party. I like keeping the fights separated, because I spam a lot of maps and combat template stuff, so people will be back. As soon as we move through the white wolf encounter with the hunters, and once Ashley and Alfreic are done being naughty, everyone will be moving back together.<br><br>Also, Dee, in case you missed it, you have a nice prompt in this post. (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=46369.msg2440729#msg2440729) Basically all you have to do is come walking up to Avonleigh and we can continue with the story.<br><br>And of course, I have to apologize. I've been feeling yucky for the past few days...this stupid swine flu thing, I guess...and so a lot of people have been waiting on me. But I'm all better and back now, so I won't keep you guys waiting on me anymore.

It can be really simple tags, like: Tag: F/F sex, or Tag: M/F Rape, or whatever. Very simple.<br><br>If it's in a private thread, stick <strong>a single tag</strong> (short and sweet) on <strong>the very first post</strong> of the scene and <strong>don't worry about it afterward.</strong> We are definitely on an adult site, and no one should be easily offended in the Extreme forums. However, some people have different tastes. Pistol might not be into the really heavy M/M stuff (or he might, no clue), so it's good to be considerate. Someone else might not be into rape scenes, so that's why the tag is there. So someone can spot it, and say: "That's not my cup of tea, I'll just skip it."<br><br>As far as characters go, they can have whatever feelings you guys deem necessary. But the players shouldn't be feeling slighted, one way or another, about what anyone does. No one owns anyone; if you don't like writing intimate scenes with someone, then just skip that. There are NPCs to cater to any interests you might have, or you can try to arrange things with other players. But if you want something specific, just PM and I'll see what I can do. Pistol's phantom Colleen came directly from an idea he sent to me. So if you want something, just let me know. The story really is meant to cater to the characters.<br><br>Also, this game has a strict no-drama rule. So if anyone finds that there is drama brewing, please speak with me privately and we'll take care of it one way or another. We're all adults, though, so if it can be handled between the players without my involvement, that's really better for everyone.<br><br>I'll do updates in the morning. For those who know and play WoW, Alluistras just started to do some serious raid tanking on her DK (we have druid mains), and I'm so giggly excited about that. So we've been a little distracted, but I'll be back in full force tomorrow morning!

				I'm once again on ice with this game, and contemplating dropping Imogene. It's getting very hard to get into it again, I like my character to have people to interact with, and I feel like, aside from her dream sequence, that she really doesn't have a part in this game anymore. I'm starting to think she's being treated more like an interesting side-story than an actual member of the group, and I don't want her to be a burden on any of you.

				Risa, that's absolutely not true. Out of all the characters, you have the most interesting storyline directly ahead of you. I have some very definite plans for the dream sequence, and it's going to be fun stuff. Actually, to date, the whole scene at the lagoon was the most interesting and developed scene of the story. I promise that Imogene is not a side story in any sense of the word.<br><br>If anyone is really on the back burner, it would be Ashley and Alfreic. I really don't have anything to do til the White Wolf scene clears up, and I'm considering just letting them come in on it because Alluistras is sucking so much at posting.<br><br>We really just need to get a lot of the different players back together. Right now we have six different groups going on separately, so it cuts down how much attention I can give to each group. But again, Imogene has the most interesting piece of story ahead of her right now in the game. If I could be any of the characters in-game, I'd pick Imogene&nbsp; for what's coming.<br><br>Just try to patient with me? I sometimes fall into lulls where I need a day or two to update as well.

				Also, it really does help if players can find someone else to play with. You guys can update back and forth a lot more than I can handle the NPCs. We have two new characters coming in, Dee and Lady Marie, and Justine has kind of fallen to the wayside, so Lady Katrina can rejoin the main bulk of the story. If you have a friend that you really enjoy RP'ing with, you can also invite them into this game as well. I would just say, be patient. This is a long-term game, and we're going to hit slow points here and there.

				It's ok. I'm kind of a slacker sometimes, and I know how it can suck when it feels like people aren't reading your posts and interacting with you a whole lot. I'm sorry, I will try to keep up a bit better. I tend to do a lot of replies all at once, so that may be why it seems like it takes me forever to write<br><br><hr><br>Also, for everyone currently in game, and those who may be eyeing the game for the future, I've picked the setting and the basic premise for the next story, and I thought you might like a tiny preview. The next story will be set in Port-a-Lucine, and will feature a hunt for a killer that might be similar to Jack the Ripper. Seedy Bars, brothels, gambling halls...chases that lead to the docks, down into the sewers. Run-ins with important political figures, and a few more surprises lie in store with the next story. We're a bit away from this one being finished, so looking at a few months down the line (which gives me time to start developing it now).

				It's okay, Chel! Alluistras is just playing out her Viktor character, and she asked me before she posted that last bit. At the moment, magic is something kind of frowned upon in Dementlieu culture...not something you'd be proud of it. Most see it as silly; that Ashley is so adept at using magic makes her stand out. But Ally (the new nickname for Alluistras) doesn't really mean anything bad by it; she's just getting into her Viktor character.<br><br>But this is actually good, because I do want everyone to start to feel comfortable with their abilities, and now that Ashley has been so open, the others can talk about their unique talents more openly. Plus it helps to make Viktor look more like a bad guy, and he's really not supposed to be very nice.<br><br>So it's nothing bad, just story. Enjoy, react, have fun with it. ^^

				I don't think so. I didn't quite look at the actual movement, but the wolf has a big hitbox (right word?), and it can take a 5-foot-step without provoking an attack of opportunity. If it looks like it moves more than 5 feet, then sure, make an attack of opportunity on it.<br><br>Also, I have to apologize for a slowdown in my posting. Like I mentioned before, Alluistras and I play World of Warcraft, and there was a huge patch last Tuesday, introducing a new raid.

				You mean it's footprint is 10x5?&nbsp; I think large things are just 10x10 square now, so where it's facing doesn't so much matter, it's just occupying that much space as it turns around, etc.&nbsp; Of course Unearthed Arcana has tons of rules for facing, like can a dragon use its fangs, wings, or tail, depending on its position, but those are quite cumbersome.

I think that also encompasses the space that the creatures threatens/controls, etc. If you'd like to make an AoE, I don't mind; I honestly didn't think about it when I set the scene up. However, I don't know that it would be valid so much here, because Marcus came directly into melee range to fire at the wolf. I can't even remember if the wolf actually took a 5-foot step or not. If anything, Marcus probably should have provoked an AoE for using a ranged weapon in melee combat.<br><br>And yup, we're still very much here. A couple different people have been slow here for a little bit (myself included), but that's okay, especially with the holidays (and WoW patches :P).

				And just an update on the P Thread #4, Alluistras still needs to post. I'm throwing things at her and she'll post very soon, so we can continue, I promise. Thanks for your patience and for forgiving sucky her.

				So everyone knows, I'm going to be out of town between Wednesday and Sunday, and thus not posting.&nbsp; I'm going to have internet some of the time, but not going to be able to post due to being with family.&nbsp; Anyway, figured people should know.

				Sorry, holidays are busy; we'll be getting things started up again very soon; let me go see where all the threads stand currently. Hope everyone had a nice week-and-a-half.<br><br>Also, we've had a lot of people come and go from the game, and it's kind of slowed us down a lot; introducing new people, threads hanging, etc. I'm going to be super selective about anyone new people joining (and it's likely we won't have anyone new join before this game ends); fewer people means less work on my part, and more time on the active threads that move the story along.<br><br>I wanted to apologize for being very slow the past 2-3 weeks. I've been leading and running and forming some new groups in WoW, and with all the new content coming out, it's been absorbing much of my time. So I make no guarantees on daily updates, but they'll be often enough to not leave you guys hanging like I did (in the past few few weeks). I would very much like to see this story to the end, because there's so much story left to tell (and the neatest scenes ahead).<br><br>Happy new year, and see you all in-game soon!
